While normally Blake was far from a morning person, her new sleeping arrangement made being up early quite pleasant.

She snuggled forwards, taking in the smell of roses. Gently, her hand ran through short dark locks, and wondered when Ruby found the time to dye her tips without them noticing. The faunas could actually feel the goofy grin forming on her face, and buried it into the crook of her girlfriends neck. A familiar, unmistakable rumble started in her chest, and her cheeks flushed. There was no real way to stop it, and she would have to hope that nobody woke up before it finished.

A stifled giggle from the girl she was snuggling proved she wouldn't be that lucky.

Blake froze, then angled herself to look up at Ruby. Silver eyes stared back at her filled with laughter, the younger girl trying her hardest to keep the giggles in. Blake's face went bright red, her purring was something she had really wanted to stay secret.

"You know..." Ruby started, "...If you wanted to cuddle more, you coulda just said so."

The faunas let out a pained groan. "How long have you been awake?"

"Just before you smelled me."

Another groan from the raven haired girl, and Ruby laughed. In trying to stop herself she bit her lip, and Blake felt her pulse rise. Blushing, she disentangled herself from her girlfriend and sat up. She spoke with a hushed voice, "Ruby, we should probably talk. About us. I mean...what we're comfortable with."

The girl followed her up with a bit of a panicked look. "Oh, yeah...did I do something?"

"No no no, I'm- I'm worried that I'll do something. I don't want to hurt you."

Ruby smiled. "Aw, Blake." She leaned up and pressed a soft kiss to the taller girls cheek. "Is that okay?"

Blake nodded. "I'm more worried about what you're comfortable with."

"Well, I've never really been in a relationship before...but I trust you. If you're not sure about something, just ask, okay?"

"Of course. Same goes for you."

Her leader blushed a bit. "Well, you can do that stuff you were doing whenever you want. And kisses. Kisses are good."

Leaning forward, she pressed a kiss to Ruby's nose. "Yes, kisses are good."

Ruby smiled at her, then rubbed the back of her head nervously. "After the mission, do you want to go on a date?"

"Definitely."

"Great! So, we're...girlfriends?"

"That's how I've been thinking of it."

Her Rose had a thoughtful look, "My girlfriend Blake...I like how that sounds."

If hearts could literally melt, Blake's was long gone. She leaned back in to press kisses to Ruby's face, enjoying how the girl giggled and squirmed. It took a minute before her leader spoke up.

"N-Not that I want to stop you, but Weiss' alarm is going off in ten minutes, so how about some revenge?"

Blake couldn't help the grin, her girlfriend could be quite the imp when she wanted to be. "What have you got in mind?"

"Well, Weiss sleeps like a rock, and Yang is worse. So, we can put them in the same bed without waking them."

She could already imagine their faces when they woke up, and If the blonde had any of her sisters cuddly tendencies...

"I'm in."

Ruby grinned like the little demon she was. "Great. I'll carry Weiss up, can you scoot Yang to the edge?"

Blake raised an eyebrow. If she did that, Ruby would have to lift the heiress over her partner to get her on the bed. "Why?"

"'Cause I wanna see Weiss kick her off the bed."

Ah, of course.

Blake used her own bed as a step so she could reach onto Yang's, and slowly pulled the sleeping girl closer to her. Ruby didn't take long to get over to them, carrying the fencer like she weighed nothing. Though, that might not be far off from her actual weight. Her leader laid Weiss' down, and left her just close enough for Yang to bump into her. It took a few moments, but the brawler reached out and caught the intruder in a bear hug. Weiss made a small noise of complaint, and Yang quickly pulled her in for a cuddle. The heiress squirmed for a second, but settled in and wrapped her arms around the blondes waist.

"I want to laugh," Ruby said. "But this is just cute."

Blake couldn't disagree.

Ten minutes past quickly enough, and the sound of Weiss' alarm began to fill the air. They could hear the tell-tale grumbling of an heiress waking up, and it was only a matter of seconds before she realized where she was. While some amount of indignant screeching was to be expected, instead all they heard was a gasp. Afterwards, the heiress fell silent, and the alarm was the only noise left in their dorm.

That is, until Yang started to wake up.

"Weissss, turn it ooooff..."

The Weiss in question let out a high-pitched yelp, and Yang wasn't just sent off the bed- she was sent flying across the room and into Ruby's. As in, the side of Ruby's. She then crashed halfway through it, and brought it down upon the bed below. The light of a glyph faded, and Weiss poked her head over the edge.

"...Yang?"

Laying in the debris of two wrecked bed frames, Yang Xiao-Long could only say one thing; "Ow."

-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

They were reamed by Ms. Goodwitch for an hour straight, and only managed to avoid serious punishment by keeping the destruction contained.

"I can have proper bunk beds in place within the month." She stated. "Of course you should have requested them over a year ago, but I suppose having to share two beds will be punishment enough. Though make no mistake, if this ever happens again I will have you in detention from now until graduation. Understood?"

"Yes, Ms. Goodwitch." Replied team RWBY, with a response they were well practiced in.

The stern teacher nodded once, then left them standing in their hall. With a unified sigh of relief, the four girls marched back into their dorm. Weiss turned to face them, clearing her throat.

"Yang, I'm sorry."

"Oh, yeah...don't worry about it."

"No, that was completely unacceptable. If we had been on a mission, or if you hadn't had aura...that could have been a fatal mistake."

"...Right. Well, apology accepted."

Weiss seemed to accept that. She turned to the rest of her team, and her face swiftly turned to a scowl. "That was perhaps the most immature thing you two have ever done."

Ruby scoffed. "Please. I already have that beat." She pulled out her scroll, and started showing off the long series of photos she took before the alarm went off. Weiss' face went pale.

"...Ruby, how many people are in possession of those images?"

Their leader tapped her chin in thought. "Oh, you know- me an' Blake, I sent you both copies, and Pyrrha, and Penny, and Velvet, and the entire Beacon staff, and uncle Qrow...I think that's everybody."

Weiss looked like she might kill everyone in the room. Yang was blushing, an uncommon sight, and look unsure of how to react.

Ruby started laughing.

She didn't bother trying to hide it, instead she just let it out. Weiss only looked more and more frustrated, and it was making Ruby's hysterics even louder. Eventually she started to pull it back, occasionally letting out cute snorts.

"Man, Weiss...you shoulda seen your face!"

The heiress let out what was perhaps the weariest sigh ever uttered. "How many people actually have them?"

"Just us four. And Goodwitch."

"Uh, Rubes?" Yang asked. "Why send them to Ms. G?"

"How do ya think we got off easy? She loves pictures of cute things."

"Is that why you haven't gotten detention all year?!" Yang exclaimed. "Cute pictures?"

"Yup. Pretty sure she has more pics of Zwei than I do at this point."

Yang looked like her entire world was flipped upside down. She raised her hands, and just sort of...slowly moved them about as if she couldn't process what she had just learned.

"I'm- I'm just going to go back to bed."

"Ah, yes." Weiss said. "As we are already missing, we might as well discuss our sleeping situation now."

Yang laughed. "Not much to discuss, princess. The lovebirds are gonna leave us to fend for ourselves while they snuggle up a storm."

Ruby blushed. "Yaaaaaang..."

"What? It's true. Guess you're gonna have to get used to waking up next to me, Weissy."

The heiress' faced flushed with heat. "I suppose we have no choice."

"Don't worry Weiss," Ruby offered. "Blake and I are gonna be gone for the first few days, so you'll probably only have to sleep with her every night for like two weeks or so."

Believe it or not, that didn't help.
