Yo Peeps, GMG back with chapter 7. Been messing around on some of my games I play. Might need a controller to try some new techniques, but mostly just screwing around with my friends. Found some more music to listen to, didn't even know the artist had released a third album, until I was looking up some lyrics for older songs. The artist, if you were curious, is Blake Lewis. The guy likes beatboxing and electrical or poppy music, not sure of how to describe it very well. I liked his other two albums, so I'm probably gonna like this one too. That said, onto the story.

Disclaimer: I do not own RWBY…

Yang was sure of it now. Ruby and Blake were meant to be, even if neither realized it… yet. She wasn't even sure if Ruby knew she was flirting with the older girl in her own quirky way. Almost every day, the blonde swore it was true, Ruby would give Blake a cookie or some similar treat. Ruby would wait with anticipation while Blake would try whatever treat was procured that day, and the younger girl would beam if the Faunus enjoyed the gift.

Of course, some other interesting things happened. Yang was surprised that neither her nor the rest of the team realized the issue in Ruby having the top bunk. It was a bit obvious, looking back on it, but hindsight is twenty-twenty.

Flashback…

Blake was sound asleep in her bunk, her calm breathing even. Suddenly, the bed jerked and bounced, startling the Faunus awake. Her golden eyes glowed in the low lighting as she looked around wildly. Beside her on the bed was Ruby, the girl face down in the mattress and sleeping as if nothing happened. Rolling back her covers, Blake got up, being careful to not disturb the sleeping girl. Crossing the space between the two bunks, she shook the blonde brawler awake.

"Yang," Blake hissed lowly. "I need some help."

Groaning, Yang's eyes opened and she turned her bleary eyes to look at Blake. "Is something wrong with Ruby?"

Nodding slowly, Blake motioned to her bed. Ruby was still passed out, unfazed. "I think she fell through her bed again. Do I wake her?"

"Nah, she's probably fine. If anything, she'll land on the floor again." Yang yawned. "If you want, I'll help you get her back up to her bunk."

Blake made to stop her when the blonde tried to pull back her covers. "It's fine. I don't mind, given that she can't control it. Aren't you worried that she'll fall through the floor, though?"

Looking thoughtful, Yang fixed her hair and hummed. "No, not really. For all the things that have happened, she's never gone through the floor. I remember Dad being worried about that when her semblance started, but she's never gone through the floor or phased through her clothes, so we figured that something kept her from doing it."

The Faunus seemed relieved. "Goodnight, Yang. Sorry for waking you."

"No problem, Blakey. Glad to see you care." Leaning back on her pillow, Yang was out within minutes.

Blake looked back at her bed and sighed. Sliding back under her covers, she closed her eyes and waited for sleep to come, trying to ignore the presence not so far from her.

XXXGMGXXX

The next morning was interesting, to say the least. Yang woke up early, her disturbed sleep having not done much to screw her over. Stifling a yawn, she checked to see if Weiss was still asleep. Miss grouchy was still asleep, so Yang decided it was safe enough to drop down. A light thump could be heard, but no one woke. Remembering her conversation with Blake from the night before, she glanced over to the other girl.

She was sleeping peacefully, but she wasn't alone. Her arms were encircled around Ruby, Yang's sister was curled into the older teen's embrace, a small smile on her face. Team RWBY's leader was snoring lightly, occasionally mumbling to herself. Blake's face was pressed into the raven locks of her sleeping partner, humming in content. Yang had to bite her fist from crooning loudly over the adorable sight.

She settled instead for taking a multitude of pictures.

Need for pictures taken care of, the blonde disappeared into the team's shared bathroom for a quick shower.

Yang was not present for what followed. Blake slowly woke, feeling warm and content. Inhaling, she was met with the pleasant scent of strawberries and… cookies? Oh well, she snuggled into the source of the smell, eyes still closed. Her mind slowly regained conscious thought and it struck her that she should check on Ruby. Opening her eyes, she squinted before her eyes adjusted. That was when the situation grew apparent. At first, she expected to have to look under her bed for the younger girl, but the familiar red-tinged hair was the first thing she saw.

Flushing in embarrassment, she extracted her arms from around Ruby. After she did, the warm feeling faded away and she almost regretted pulling away. Ruby's soft snoring teetered off and the girl yawned, signaling that she was awake. She sat up and blinked before catching Blake's gaze. Smiling brightly, she greeted the older girl. "Hiya, Blake! I hope I didn't wake you when I crashed with ya."

"You're fine, Ruby. You already said you can't control it, so it's understandable." Blake was happy to see the girl's smile widen. "We should get ready for class, though." She chuckled when the redhead pouted and grumbled.

Flashback over…

Currently, the team was sitting in the cafeteria, Ruby having gone off to get more to eat. Yang and Blake both watched with interest as various guys walked up to the young leader and she smiled at them and had little chats with each one, every guy walking off, slightly upset. Blake looked at her teammate in surprise. "You're not going to go into 'Big Sister' mode and crowd her?"

Yang laughed at the title. "Don't have to. It's no issue if guys talk with her, it's not like she'll go out on a date with any of them."

Realization clicked in Blake. "Ah. I see." Some small part of her was pleased with this information.

"I don't understand," Weiss said, causing the other two to look at her. "Why wouldn't she date them? Is she already in a relationship?

Yang snickered. "Let's just say she prefers the sheath to the sword, Weissicle."(1)

It took the heiress a moment to process the information. When it clicked for her, she blushed furiously. "Oh…"

"Just like her sis," Yang continued, taking a bite from her chicken leg. "We told Dad and he said he wasn't surprised." Swallowing the bite, she shrugged. "He said something about all Xiao Longs being lady killers and left it at that."

"Your manners certainly attest to that," Blake said dryly.

A loud commotion drew the notice from the three, their eyes landing on Ruby yelling at Cardin Winchester, the bully having been picking on Velvet, a rabbit Faunus in a class above them. It was amusing to see the short leader yelling at Cardin and actually striking fear into him. The brute of a guy left quickly, his team not too far behind.

It was a short trip back to the table after that. Ruby sat down and looked at them with a smile. "Is something wrong?"

Yang was the first to reply. "What happened?"

Ruby shrugged. "Cardin was being a nimrod and picking on Velvet. I kinda told him off and he ran off. Why?"

"No reason," Yang replied. "It's just strange to see you step up for someone. It's been awhile since the last incident in Signal."

Blake frowned, wondering what had happened at Signal. She could ask later.

End…

1) A quote from Fate-117. Aside from the Weissicle part. I just thought it was a bit funny and got permission to use that line.

So, another chapter out of the way. A little more about Ruby's semblance, though not everything has been said yet. There's more to come with this story, so I look forward to writing it some more. It's been awhile since I've written a chapter while listening to music, but it got done, so I'm pleased with that. With that said…

Adieu, for now!
