Blake and Pyrrha...hmm...have they even spoken a word to each other so far in the show?
Since I don't really see them as being in a relationship ever (maybe I need to read some more fan fics about that...) I wrote them as friends. And Yang makes an appearance, because she tends to take up the majority of my mind at all times lol
"Blake, are you ready?"
Blake looked up from the book she was reading, finding Pyrrha sticking her head through Team RWBY's door. Glancing quickly towards the clock on the table beside her bed, she nodded her head, snapping the book shut and throwing it down on her pillow as she jumped to her feet. She grabbed Gambol Shroud as she met Pyrrha in the hallway and the two of them began walking down towards the student lounge together.
When she had first arrived at Beacon, Blake had fully expected to be an outcast for her four years of schooling. She was a Faunus in disguise, an ex-member of the notorious White Fang, an orphan who had been without any semblance of family for years.
If someone had tried to tell her that she would actually find something in common with Pyrrha Nikos, the golden girl of up-and-coming huntresses, the model seen on everyone's favorite box of cereal in the morning, and the winner of every tournament held for their age group for the past…gazillion years…well, Blake would have told that person to go take a hike.
But, as it turned out, Pyrrha and Blake actually shared a very particular hobby in common. Something which both of them had been immensely ashamed to admit, until they realized that they had found a compatriot in each other.
Hunters Paradise. The super popular (with middle aged women) daytime television show with super bad acting, but very pretty people.
Blake and Pyrrha both loved it. And while they could never watch the first airing due to having to attend classes, there was always a replay on Thursday nights at 8 o'clock.
The two of them had decided that they would watch the show together each week when it was on, even at the expense of potentially being ridiculed by their classmates.
But, seeing as how there was only one TV in the student lounge, they often had to come prepared to fight for the right to watch their show.
Of course, with Pyrrha on her side, Blake had yet to go a single week without wrestling the TV away from begrudging students. In fact, now most of them would get up and walk away as soon as the two girls strode into the room, weapons in hand.
Such was the case today, with everyone clearing out of the room instantly, allowing Pyrrha and Blake to sit down on the sofa without so much as a glare, placing their unused weapons down at their feet.
"It seems like fewer and fewer people want to fight for the TV anymore…" Pyrrha commented as she picked up the remote and flipped the television set to the right channel.
"I think word may have gotten around when you threw Cardin through that wall."
Blake looked in the direction of said wall, which had since been patched over and given a fresh layer of paint along with a sign which read, "DO NOT smash through the walls."
"That was a complete accident," Pyrrha replied with a light laugh, but Blake knew better. The redhead was normally a calm and honorable fighter, but place someone in the way of her favorite television show and she became a ruthless monster. Blake had had to drag Pyrrha away from Cardin and beg for the boy's mercy that day…
They both silenced as the opening credits began playing on the screen, preparing themselves to be sucked into helpless romance over the next hour.
"Oh, hey, Blake!"
"Shh!" Blake and Pyrrha shushed in unison as they turned to see who would dare cause a disturbance when their show was starting.
Yang looked back at them with wide eyes, mouth hanging open in shock.
"I…uh…brought you some snacks," the blonde replied hesitantly, stepping forward and setting the plastic bag down on the floor in front of them much like a peace offering.
Blake instantly felt guilty, and knew (or at least hoped) that Pyrrha felt the same for snapping at Yang's kind gesture.
"Sorry, Yang. That was very nice of you," Blake said, giving her partner a small smile.
"Yes, thank you," Pyrrha absentmindedly remarked as her eyes were drawn back to the TV.
Blake stole a sideways glance at the show before looking back to her partner.
"Do you want to watch with us?" she offered cautiously. She knew that Yang could be a talker during shows, and Pyrrha and she both insisted on being able to hear every last word. She knew that either Yang was quiet, or the blonde would risk the wrath of a very irritable Pyrrha Nikos.
But Yang split into a big smile as she nodded and took a seat beside Blake.
"Just be quiet, ok?" Blake whispered quietly as Yang settled in beside her, receiving a nod in response.
Finally, Blake was able to return her attention to the show.
"Woahhhh….he's cute!" the blonde exclaimed a few minutes later when the main character appeared on screen for the first time.
Blake sighed as Pyrrha stiffened on her other side.
"Yang, get out."
