With only a week left until their final exams, Blake and Ruby had spent most nights in the library going over notes
Ruby found it a lot easier to study with Blake then with Weiss. Whenever Ruby needed help with something Weiss would always chastise her for not knowing then help where as Blake would show her how to work it out and leave Ruby to find the answer making it easier for the redhead to remember the answer when they would give each other a pop quiz. It also didn't hurt that Ruby got to spend time alone with Blake.
Ruby was still unsure about her sister's plan but Yang would never lie to her about something like this.
Blake had noticed that Ruby seemed to have zoned out for a few minutes.
"Ruby is something wrong?" Blake asked, worried something had bothered Ruby.
"Sorry Blake I just zoned out for a bit" Ruby said while nervously laughing.
"It's ok I think we should take a break anyway i'm feeling pretty hungry." Blake replied, not at all worried about Ruby zoning out.
"Yay food. Maybe they will have tuna tonight." Ruby said hopeful to see the look on Blakes face whenever the dining hall has tuna.
"Please don't get my hopes up." Blake retorted as she packed up her notes and started walking towards the dining hall with the small redhead in tow.
Once the pair grabbed their food they headed over to their normal table to find Velvet and Jaune sitting at the table.
"Hi guys." Ruby called as she approached the table.
"Hi Ruby, hi Blake how's the studying going?" Velvet asked as the pair sat down across from each other.
"not bad. Just needed to get something to eat before Weiss hunts us down." Blake replied watching her team leader nearly devour the plate of cookies she had grabbed with her dinner.
The four friends continued talking about different topics until Cardin and his team came by.
"How can you all eat with an animal sitting at your table." Cardin sneered, obviously trying upset Velvet
Hearing this caused Velvet to hunch over as her ears hung low.
"Back off Cardin." Ruby replied, a hint of anger in her voice.
"Oh look the pipsqueak is trying to stand up for the animal." Cardin spat, displeased someone would try and stand against him
The tables around the group had gone silent. Most were trying to listen to the fight that had started between Ruby and Cardin.
"Considering you're named after a tiny bird you sure do make a lot of noise." Blake said barely turning to face Cardin before getting a book out and starting to read.
This caused a few giggles to breakout from the surrounding tables before Cardin shot them a glare.
"Shut up." Cardin yelled at the people laughing at him
"You really should have been named after a rooster. You're too loud to be a cardinal." Blake stated causing even more laughs to be heard from the surrounding students.
Cardin became more and more agitated as the laughing got louder and louder
"Watch yourself Belladonna this isn't over." Cardin called as he quickly left the dining hall with the rest of team CRDL behind him.
"thank you." Velvet muttered, slowly she straightened up and her ears seemed to rise to their full height.
"Anytime. Bullies like him deserve it." Blake replied barely looking up from her book.
They continued to chatter amongst themselves until they headed back to the dorms to turn in for the night.
As Ruby and Blake approached their dorm room they could hear Yang and Weiss arguing over something. As Ruby opened the door the arguing seemed to stop.
"Do I even want to know?" Blake asked, looking wearily at her teammates as Ruby headed into the bathroom.
"Tomorrow we are studying as a team with no arguments." Weiss replied while shooting Yang a glare that could freeze lava.
"Why are we doing this exactly?" Blake asked as she went to grab her yukata and get ready for bed.
"I will not allow my team to drag down my grades." Weiss responded as she stamped her food to try and prove her point.
"Fine but it seems Yang isn't interested." Blake stated looking at the blonde on the top bunk.
"Damn straight." Yang shouted before returning her attention to her scroll.
"Yang if you don't study with us tomorrow i will shave your head in your sleep." Weiss said while staring directly at the top bunk.
"You wouldn't." Yang replied as she jumped down from her bunk.
The two stared at each other in complete silence until Ruby walked out of the bathroom in her .
"Uhh what's going on?" Ruby asked timidly, watching her sister and her partner stare down each other.
"Weiss wants all of us to study together. I wouldn't argue she already threatened to shave Yang's head." Blake replied as she walked into the bathroom to change.
Yang and Weiss continued to stare at each other for a few moments while Ruby awkwardly stood there waiting for something to happen.
"Fine. You win Ice Queen." Yang sighed before she climbed back up to her bunk to go to sleep.
Pleased with herself Weiss turned towards Ruby. "Well Ruby?" Weiss asked is a slightly sweet tone that seemed just wrong to hear from Weiss.
"O-ok" Ruby stuttered, frightened of what Weiss was going to do to her if she said no.
"Good. Goodnight Ruby." Weiss said as she walked over to her bed.
"Oh Weiss I needed to ask you something." Ruby called after breaking out of the daze she had just been in.
"Well what is it?" Weiss asked, obviously not in the mood to be held up from going to sleep for long.
"Do you want to come with us to Patch for the break?" Ruby said looking hopefully at Weiss.
"I'm sorry Ruby but father wants us all home for Christmas for a dinner party he is hosting. If you want i can be there before new years eve though." Weiss sadly replied. She was honestly sad that she couldn't spend Christmas with her team because her father wanted to look good infront of business associates.
"That's ok we can give you your presents when you get there." Ruby said seeming happy to hear Weiss would be able to make it.
Once Blake came out of the bathroom the four girls all got into bed and drifted off to sleep with goodnights shared by all.
