MABfan11: It's implied that she was referring to Adam when she said that love is the person you care about doesn't hurt you. Emotionally and physically.

AntonSlavik020: I need more infatuated Blake in my life in general.


What is Love?

Moment Two: With Tea

Thing were falling apart in the Beacon dormitories. And not in the figurative sense. Team JNPR's heater exploded, Team CFVY's roof fell through, Team SSSN's showers were scalding. And as for Team RWBY…

"The kettle's broken." Yang hummed as she attempted to make what would've been hot coffee.

Weiss's blue eyes comically went wide as she sprinted to the kettle, rattling it as if it would change anything, "It can't be! I need to stay awake in all my classes today! And we have an exam later this week!"

"Maybe you shouldn't have pulled that extra three-hour study session last night, Weiss." Blake muttered from her bed just loud enough to be heard, her amber eyes already laced with amusement. Leaving her bed, she stretched, and let her fangs shine in the sunlight. Blake then drifted towards Ruby's bed just to see that her leader didn't even bother to rise from the bed just yet.

"Ruby, do you need anything from the kettle today?"

"Nope!"

Ears flicked, "What about actually getting ready for the school day?"

"Ugh. You sound like Yang!"

After Ruby, more or less, tumbled out of bed, Team RWBY tried to have their normal breakfast. Cold cereal and even colder coffee. And before Weiss could bring it up, Yang already interjected, "Yes, yes, Weiss, I will heat it up for you. Just this one time!"

In speeds that Blake would say could outbeat Ruby on her best, Weiss grabbed her usual coffee mix before another swear escaped her lips. The heiress pounded a fist against the counter, with a small pout on her face. "There's no more of my usual!"

Blake and Ruby tried to hold back a laugh, if there was something that Weiss loved more other than her grades and Zwei, it was coffee.

Of course, the Faunus can sympathize…to an extent. She was a tea addict. Her collection of teabags rivaled Weiss and her tins of coffee. With a small blush, she thought about offering Weiss a cup, but judging from the murderous look on Weiss's face… maybe after the Weiss calmed down just a little.

"Well, I guess it can't be helped, we needed to go grocery shopping but we kept putting it off." Yang said sagely, although she was the advocate of putting it off.

"We can always go later?"

"Not after combat practice though, that runs late." Ruby added.

"I guess it'll have to wait for the weekend." Blake said, not hiding her amused grin at all; adding to the horror.

Weiss growled before stalking off, heading to class straight away. Yang and Ruby couldn't contain their giggles any longer.

When the cramps in their stomachs ceased, the giggles some time later, the trio rushed off to class, finally realizing that they only had 5 minutes to class. Again.

But maybe they should hold off on teasing Weiss for the rest of the day actually. After all, a non-caffeinated Weiss was a very cranky non-caffeinated Weiss. And with all the teasing aside, Blake was actually just a little bit worried.

Weiss is cranky. Of course, and understandably so. She's a person who doesn't like things going unplanned. Not being able to start her day on the right foot tends to lead Weiss on a tirade.

Presently, Weiss was obviously trying to stay awake during class. It was kinda cute to Blake, actually. Her left hand almost sloppily writing notes, while her head bobbed back and forth. And it just so happens that Professor Port had an excruciatingly slow lecture about the history of…something.

Blake knew that she stopped writing notes, and spent most of the lecture on Weiss.

When the class was over, Weiss didn't even have it in her to feel all that guilty for falling asleep during the lecture. She sounded pretty done.

Blake ushered her to the rest of her classes with the promises of writing her notes for the sleepy heiress. Weiss made a non-committable grunt and let it happen.

Somehow, the duo got through the day, definitely feeding off Yang and Ruby's ever boundless energy. But, before Weiss could finally go to the confines of their room and probably sleepy the night away - or, at least until she is able to go get her coffee - she's resigned to sleep early for the next couple nights.

"Weiss, can you come with me real quick?"

"Blake, I'm really not in the mood-"

The bow on top of Blake's head flattened slightly, and there goes Weiss's heart, "It's real quick I promise."

Weiss sighed and rubbed the bridge of her nose to stave off the incoming headache, "Okay, fine. Be quick about it though."

It was still pretty early in the evening in Vale, and stores were still open till later. Weiss was confused to see that Blake led her to a local coffee shop.

"You know, Blake drinking coffee this late is kind of a moot point. Then I'd be up all night."

Blake chuckled, enough to let her two fangs show, "I know, that's not why I brought you here. I'm buying you these."

She held up some coffee beans, a brand that Weiss was unfamiliar with.

"It'll last you to the weekend, at least." Blake said softly.

"Thanks."

"And…um, if you'd like, there's this drink I'd like you to try…it's going to help you sleep." Blake quickly retraced as Weiss almost glowered at the teacup in her hand, "I mean, just even two simple sips, it'll help."

Weiss was about to rebuke the offer, only because she wasn't very fond of tea. She's a coffee drinker, through and through. But with Blake putting effort to help tide over her…cravings, it's hard to deny her right now.

"Okay."

From her view, Weiss saw the Faunus's ears perk up ever so slightly underneath that bow of hers. It's cute, but Weiss definitely liked it more when she saw them out in the open. Alas, it was a public place.

The pair sat down on a small table with the teacup pushed to Weiss's side. Weiss took in the slight fragrance and it reminded her of the scent that lingered on Blake's person. It was subtle, sweet like lavender, and not that garbage that Yang sprays (literally the whole can). Anyways…Weiss knew that Blake liked tea, and the type of tea in front of her might be one of Blake's favorite. It couldn't hurt to try it and it's just one time.

She took a sip gingerly, and found that the taste was subtle. Almost sweet and barely there.

'She must have watered it down, so the taste didn't overwhelm me. And it actually taste really good though.'

Before she knew it, Weiss had finished the cup and was left with a warmth that filled her veins and she honestly felt more at peace than she ever did with her usual cup of coffee.

"Comfy?"

Weiss let out a little hum.

Blake chuckled before leading Weiss back to the doors with her order in hand. The Faunus relished that Weiss enjoyed their quick little "tea" time; with Weiss slightly out of it, Blake couldn't help but let a purr rumble through her chest. Weiss didn't seem to mind, in fact Blake was able to catch just a subtle hint of a blush under the streetlight. It was enough to let Blake's heart flutter for the rest of the walk home.

Yang and Ruby were already settling for bed, and were relieved that Blake and Weiss returned safely. The sisters ushered them to get changed and to get ready for bed early. Blake placed the new coffee tin cans away neatly in the cupboard, and, of course, on the lower shelf so that Weiss can reach them. The heiress was grateful, overall, flashing Blake one of her rare sincere smiles as she got ready for bed.

The moment she wound up in bed, she felt her eyes flutter shut.

Blake, who just came out the bathroom, took a peek at her bunkmate and saw that Yang was waggling her brows in a teasing matter. Blake's amber eyes flashed dangerously, enough to make Yang concede just this one time.

The Faunus strode to Weiss's bed to see that her crush in question was already in deep sleep. Blake smiled, and pulled the sheets closer to cover her shoulders before returning to her own bunk.

But before she was able to fall asleep herself, she heard her partner speak up from above her.

"Was it a date?"

Blake responded by kicking the bed in front of her, "Yang!"

"Monty Oum! I just did a back workout today Blake! That hurt!"

"Then shut it. It wasn't a date." Blake denied, "I was just helping her."

"Riiiiiight."

Blake didn't bother responding, she just rolled over with a huff, with her body facing the heiress. She had to admit, she did drink some tea prior before taking Weiss on that impromptu trip. Now she's wide awake, instead of sleepy (as it said on the intended effects).

Maybe it was because her heart had been racing. Or maybe it was the lingering warmth of Weiss's grateful smile. Either way, she was glad that Weiss was sleeping and maybe having good dreams.

Maybe next time, Blake will actually ask Weiss to go with her just for tea and coffee.
