AN: There is way more yelling in this chapter than I thought I would put in. I regret nothing.
JA
It was quiet at the lunch table today. Not to say that it being quiet means that something bad is going on, but at the moment there was certain tenseness in the air. Jaune figured that one of the reasons for it being tense was Blake's sudden decision to sit next to him and basically latch herself onto his arm. Everyone except Yang seemed shocked at this. Some would think that Yang would have the smile of the devil and have the PUNNIEST of puns to dish out, (;D) but she seemed to be going through some internal conflict.
Jaune had no clue on how this could be remedied so he just sat there with his bowl of soup, letting the tense feeling hang in the air. MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH! Everyone slowly turned towards the source of the noise, and of course it was Ruby devouring one cookie after another. Team JNPR just face palmed while the rest of RWBY had different responses. Yang continued to look conflicted, Blake just blinked and kept reading her book after scooting even closer to Jaune (how much room is even between them anymore!?), but the most suspicious of them was Weiss. She was staring at the plate of cookies as Ruby munched away.
The closer Ruby got to finishing them Weiss would start growing a sinister smile. There were three cookies left when Ruby realized that everyone noticed her. She blushed and nervously laughed a bit. She noticed Nora starring at the cookies and she sighed to herself. She had witnessed Nora's puppy dog eyes. Her will was broken! "Do you want one Nora?" Ruby said regretfully.
Before Ren or Weiss could react Nora lunged at the plate and inhaled a cookie. Now everyone at the table was starring, waiting for immanent explosion that could only be called NORA! They all waited there watching the ginger haired girl, but nothing happened. "BLEGHH! Why would you be eating a OATMEAL AND RAISIN COOKIE?!" Nora screamed. She was trying to lick her sleeve to get rid of the awful taste.
Ren sighed in relief that Nora didn't explode, but Weiss was not sitting stock still sweating bullets. Ruby looked disgusted at the mere mention of that concoction people called a 'Cookie'. A revelation it her though. Only one person at this table was known to eat those cookies. Ruby slowly turned to Weiss with little fires in her eyes that made Yang proud. "Weiss so help me Oum! Did you try to get me to eat that…that…POISON!?"
Weiss didn't answer as she jumped up from her seat and threw a grey dust crystal on the floor shouting. "YOU'LL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE!" She was gone in a cloud of smoke and even Blake was impressed by this. Jaune growing up a somewhat sheltered life learned some magic tricks to pass the time, so before anyone could really question where she went, he pointed two tables over and they all looked at Weiss as she tried to crawl away. She let out a nervous laugh as she got on her feet and started to sprint towards the dorms.
'Yup. Now this feels like lunch.' Jaune thought to himself. He could swear that there was still a bit of tenseness but it was probably just his nerves. Pyrrha was staring daggers in his direction. While lunch proceeded normally now indeed was still a slight air of intensity. Yang was currently starring at her plate, trying to decide what to do with perhaps the biggest piece of gossip she's ever had her hands on.

Now Blake wasn't one to go prying into other people's business (that was her partners job), but when it's her partner who looks to be in some sort of moral dilemma she decides to make an exception. As Yang even so slowly brushed her hair and looked off into space, Blake climbed up to her bunk and poked her shoulder. This got her attention as Yang quickly turned her head and looked at the Faunus girl. "I'm sorry, what did you say." Yang said.
Blake just put on a worried expression as she told her, "I didn't say anything Yang, I just pocked you in the shoulder." Yang just nodded and went back to starring into space, not even bothering to continue brushing her hair. "Yang…" Blake asked. She got a bit of a grunt that signaled Yang was listening. "…are you okay? It seems like something's bothering you."
"Wh-what?! Nooooo. I'm fine! Nothing's wrong with me. It's not like I know Jau-" Yang quickly shut her mouth before she could say anything else. Blake could only raise an eyebrow as she became very intrigued on what Blake knew about Jaune. Without trying to question Yang about it Blake got up, went into the bathroom, came back out with Yang's shampoo and stuck it out the window. "NOOOO MY BABIES!" Blake only looked at her with a blank expression as she took her pinky off the bottle. "I WON'T BE TEMPTED BY YOU!" Yang shouted.
Blake's response was to raise her ring finger, now only holding the bottle with three fingers. "OKAY! You monster I'll tell you everything you want to know." Yang said in defeat. Blake stepped back from the window but made it clear that if Yang tried anything, she could just lob the shampoo out the window.
"What do you know about Jaune?" Blake asked the blond brawler. Yang started to squirm where she sat as she thought of an answer. After a minute of this Blake raised her arm ready to throw.
"IKNOWJAUNE'SNOTSUPPOSEDTOBEHERE!" Yang said it so fast that it took Blake a moment to comprehend what she was trying to say. Once she was able to comprehend what she said Blake dropped the shampoo bottle on the floor and she walked out of the room. Yang was now left alone on her bed as she looked at her bed sheets with guilt and shame. Not five minutes later Blake walked back into the room. "Oh Oum, I'm so sorry Blake, I just wanted to see what would happen I didn't know he would te-"
"So what did you need Blake?" Jaune said as he stepped into the room. He was met with the sight of Yang, her mouth stuck open like she was trying to get more air in her lungs. He saw Blake sit down on her bed as she patted the spot next to her, signaling for Jaune to sit. Once he sat down he noticed a random shampoo bottle on the floor. Being the wise man that he thought he was, Jaune didn't mention it and ignored it was even there.
"Yang." Blake called out. "Care to explain why Jaune is here right now?" A groan was heard from the bunk above as the brawler got down from her bunk and looked at Jaune with the more shameful of expressions.
