Yo Peeps, GMG here with chapter 20. Breaking down this barrier, which only one other of my fics has, is pretty cool. Also, about to surpass review count on BCB, so hype! Onwards!

Disclaimer: I do not own RWBY...

It was palpable, the sexual tension between Yang and Weiss. Ruby and Blake, who were acting as mediators contemplated leaving at multiple times, whilst the girls argued. The bickering reached peak once already, seeing the two rolling around on the ground, lips locked in a vicious battle for control.

Blake was embarrassed by the display, thankful that no random students were around to witness it. Meanwhile, Ruby was a bit queasy at the sight of her sister making out with one of her teammates.

And it started over doilies! DOILIES!.

Finally, Blake snapped and walked over, kicking the pair in their sides. "I would say get a room, but I'd rather not contemplate what you'd do in the dorm."

The couple groaned and stood, Yang smirking. "Oh, we go to a different room for such things. OW!" She grabbed the back of her head, Weiss having slapped her.

Face burning, the prim girl coughed awkwardly. "Let's just pretend she didn't say that, shall we?"

Ruby had her head in her hands and was groaning. "I really didn't need to know that, Yang."

A big grin crossed Yang's face. Teasing mode engaged. "So you and Blake haven't-"

"YANG STOP!" The girl cried. "Shutupshutupshutupshutupshutupshutupshutupshutupshutupshutupshutup!"

Yang fell over laughing, both at her sister's reaction and the mortified face of Blake. She pat the Faunus on the shoulder, still wheezing from her laughter. "Just messing with you two. I know you wouldn't." She doubled over as Blake's fist impacted her gut. "Ooof! Yeah, I deserved that."

"Solve you own issues, then," Blake grumbled. She walked over and grabbed Ruby, leading her from the room.

As they walked through the halls, Ruby had her hood up, steaming about Yang's comments and refusing to make eye contact with Blake. The ravenette giggled at the childish behavior before bumping Ruby with her hip playfully. "Ignore her, Ruby. She's just being an annoying sister."

Ruby didn't reply, instead leaning against Blake. The two walked a bit further before settling down on a bench in one of the open areas around the school. Cargo boxes littered the field, a few wooden frames marking the beginnings of the set ups for the Vytal Festival's fair.

Leaning back, Blake took the time to enjoy the weather. Beside her, Ruby was leaned over, resting her head on Blake's lap. Her hood was down once more and Blake smiled affectionately at the girl, whose eyes were closed.

Ruby jumped a bit when fingers pulled through her hair before she realized it was Blake. Sighing slightly, she smiled at the feeling. "Shouldn't I be the one to pet you?"

A smooth chuckle caused her grin to widen. "I suppose," Blake replied. "But you're the one curled up on my lap, so..."

"Do you have a dress picked out for the dance?"

Blake hummed an affirmative. "Indeed. It wasn't too hard to find. Weiss and I went out to find ours a few days ago, figuring that Yang was likely to drag you off to find dresses for you two."

A groan answered her. "We're going this afternoon. She's making me get high heels." The shoes were mentioned with such contempt, that it was obvious the girl detested them. Ruby had stuck to flats and her combat boots, even going so far as to try and wear the boots with her uniform.

Weiss had put a stop to that quickly. The strict girl wasn't wanting her leader to wear her cloak, but to prevent the boots, she had begrudgingly allowed the girl to wear it. That it was Ruby's mother's cloak only served to help.

"I'll sneak some flats in for you," Blake said. "Maybe you can tolerate Yang dressing you up like a doll for one night?"

"It's not the dresses that are a pain," Ruby griped. "Even if you bring the flats, and I appreciate you doing so, I'll still have to walk around in different pair until Yang is satisfied with one pair or another."

Blake mulled it over. "Maybe I can see about her letting you wear flats."

Ruby's eyes snapped open and she looked up at the girl. "Did I ever say that I love you?"

Golden eyes shined with happiness, belying the small smile on her face. "Once or twice."

XXXGMGXXX

"You want her to wear what?"

"Flats, Yang." Blake was already annoyed. Yang was being frustrating about the subject. "She doesn't want to wear heels, Yang."

The blonde gasped. "But she'll look so pretty in them, Blake. I want her to look nice for the dance."

Blake let out a breath of air. "Yang, as her date, the one she's dressing to impress, I'm saying that I'd prefer she wear flats because it is what she wants." She prodded the brawler's shoulder. "Not sneakers, mind you, or her combat boots. Just find her something fancy that doesn't have heels."

"Fine," Yang grumbled. "You win."

The faunus smiled. "Good, now get going. Ruby's probably already at the air station, waiting."

Snapping a jaunty salute, Yang left.

Once the door closed, Blake glanced at Weiss. "How long do you think we have?"

The heiress thought it over. "A few hours most likely." She pulled out her books and spread a few pages over the desk. "Finally some time to study in quiet."

Blake nodded before relaxing on her bed with a book in hand. She could finally finish the book she was working through. After that, the only noises heard were breathing and the sound of paper moving every now and again.

XXXGMGXXX

When the two returned, it was to the sight of their respective girls sleeping. Weiss was resting on her bed, hair down as per usual. Ruby snickered when she saw Blake passed out with a book laying open on her chest. Yang ruffled Ruby's hair before heading into the bathroom to change. Setting the dresses aside, Ruby looked back at Blake's sleeping form.

The scythe wielder tip toed over and carefully removed the book, marking the page and setting it aside. When Yang exited the bathroom, Ruby swapped places before returning to her bed and slipping in beside Blake.

After a few minutes, as she was soon about to doze off, she felt the other girl's arm loop over her and Blake pulling her close. Ruby 'eeped' lightly before relaxing and taking in the other girl's calming scent. Smiling, she drifted off, feeling safe.

End...
