Author's Note: Danggg it has been a super long time since I updated this. In my defense, I've been busy working on Of Pink Pancakes and Love Letters in some capacity this whole time (from planning out the whole thing to writing the first several chapters and then editing them), and if you enjoy these oneshots, you should go read that. It's my typical romance/friendship/fluff but longer than a normal oneshot.
Chapter 15: Fake
The evening breeze smelled like flowers, the sun shone bright, and Nora Valkyrie was deeply, irrevocably angry with Lie Ren.
Clang!
She threw the blue watering can into the floor. "Three months!"
The dorm generally proved to be a quiet place during dusk- Pyrrha and Jaune would always be training, Nora would be cleaning Magnhild or finishing her homework and Ren was able to read silently. Peacefully.
But any calm atmosphere to the evening was shattered like glass now that he was being yelled at- for presumably no reason.
Ren looked up from his book and raised an eyebrow. His eyes roamed over the now-dented watering can and up to Nora's reddened face.
"Pardon?"
"Three months! You tortured me for three months!"
The dormitory door creaked open, and in walked Jaune and Pyrrha, both of whom were locked in an animated conversation.
At least until their eyes caught the dampened floor.
"What...happened here?" Pyrrha asked slowly.
"Did one of you have an accident?" Jaune narrowed his eyes and gestured to the wet puddle seeping into the carpet.
Ren closed his book, "Nora's upse-"
"HE WATCHED ME WATER A FAKE PLANT FOR THREE MONTHS!"
