Out of boredom, Yang glanced to the side. Anywhere but at professor Port.

To her left, a couple seats over was her partner Blake. She looked just as bored while the teacher rambled about some random story of his tales of bravery.

With a smirk, Yang nudged her sister in her side. That made the leader almost snort from being startled. She was practically falling asleep with her eyes open.

"What is it, Yang?" Ruby asked, curious.

Truth be told, Ruby wanted- needed- a distraction. The leader could've sworn Port's mustache was coming alive by this point. It had wings!

It was then that Yang adorned a shit-eating grin. "Blake has serious RBF right now."

From her sister's comment, Ruby glanced over at her girlfriend. The faunus was staring into space at the professor. The cat ears under her bow were droopy and she had a hand under her chin in disinterest.

"She's so cute," Ruby cooed in a whisper.

Yang couldn't help but chuckle from how often her sister gushed over Blake. "Do I have RBF that bad?"

"Yaaang," Ruby whined softly. "Don't you have other things to worry about?"

"Like what?"

"A test or something, I don't know," Ruby replied murmured. "RBF is a stupid thing to worry about. And to answer your question, no not really. You look okay, but just okay."

"Gee, thanks, Rubes," Yang replied in amusement. "That's a real confidence booster."

"You're already full of yourself," Ruby explained with a smirk. "Why would I want to feed into that?"

"You're such a pain, Rubes," Yang replied jokingly.

"You're a pain…" Ruby paused for dramatic effect. "A pain in the butt."

It was a shame that joke didn't make the blonde laugh. All Yang could do was lean back in her chair with her arms crossed. Hesitantly, she sighed and tried to listen to the lecture. Listening to Port ramble never stopped being a challenge.

Some students- the majority- weren't listening. Ruby tried to pay attention, she really did. But his voice almost coaxed her to sleep. There might've been some drool… so far, she struggled to keep her head up in a desperate attempt to make it look like she was listening.

Blake had given up on taking notes for this class weeks ago. From what she gathered, most of what Port would say was useless. She had to give him credit, though. Every now and then he had his moments.

Weiss was even more gone than the faunus. She always felt defeated after walking out of his class. It was a miracle she maintained a good grade when the professor threw out unnecessary information a lot of the time.

Meanwhile, Yang set her hand under her chin in disinterest. Her sister had been defeated, Blake had been defeated. Even Weiss was defeated. Which was rare, considering she'd usually try to take as many notes as possible.

Interested, Yang glanced over at her girlfriend. She looked pale. She was pale by nature, but she looked even paler than normal. Like the pallor of the blank paper in front of her. She also looked tired. So much so that her eyes were glazed over.

Come to think of it, she hadn't been very talkative today. This caused a pit of dread to well-up in Yang's stomach. That was enough for alarm bells to go off in Yang's head.

Slowly, the blonde leaned into Weiss' ear and whispered. "Hey, are you okay?"

Her concerned voice seemed to snap Weiss out of it. To reassure her, Weiss held her hand under the table. "I'm fine. I think I'm just hungry is all."

Yang was taken aback by how weak her grip was. "When was the last time you ate?"

Briefly, Weiss glanced away as if she was deep in thought. Yang knew that look. It was the look she gave her when she didn't want to worry her.

"Weiss-"

The chime of the school bell. Instantly, the students shot out of their seats. They were just happy to finally be free.

To comfort her, Weiss grabbed her girlfriend's hand and gave her a reassuring smile. "Come on, it's lunchtime."

The reply eased Yang's nerves. Good, she was going to eat something.

"Heck yeah, it is. You'll feel better in no time."

"That should be plenty!" Yang happily announced. "You sure you don't want more food?"

"I'm sure," Weiss nodded in appreciation. "Thank you, Yang."

"If you wanna thank me, eat up," the blonde giddily grinned.

The plate in front of Weiss contained a chicken salad sandwich with a side of pineapples and grapes. When Yang discovered that Weiss was hungry, she made sure to watch her like a hawk and that she grabbed a good, fulfilling lunch.

"Looks yummy," Ruby chimed as she munched on her ham and cheese sandwich. "Oh, can I get a piece of pineapple?"

"Sure," Weiss said.

Happily, Ruby stabbed a yellow slice and chewed greedily. "Thanks, Weissy."

"You're welcome, dunce," the heiress replied. "Try not to leave a mess this time."

"Ugh," Ruby groaned. "That was one time!"

To prove a point, Blake jokingly wiped her napkin on Ruby's lips. "And the last time."

While the ladybug pair conversed, Weiss looked to Yang.

"Thank you for looking after me, Yang," Weiss said genuinely. "I didn't mean to worry you."

That elicited a wide smile from her blonde teammate. "No need to thank me. I just- I care about you too much…"

The revelation caused Weiss' heart to skip a few beats. Azure and lilac met, each yearning for the other.

"Get a room, you two."

Yang looked up to see it was Ruby who made the remark.

"I could say the same thing about you guys!" Yang exclaimed. "You were getting all goo-goo eyed!"

"Says you!" Ruby yelped.

While the sisters bickered, Weiss stared down at her plate. It was true that she felt hungry earlier, but when she saw the food she almost felt sick. Just the sight and smell made her cringe.

However, she had to eat something or she'd worry her girlfriend. After a tiny sigh, the heiress picked up her sandwich and nibbled on it. Reluctantly, she swallowed.

Just as she thought. She didn't feel hungry at all. Yet, it'd been about a day since she last ate.

She was too stressed to eat. She couldn't...

And set the food down.

Why am I here when I have a mountain of reports to read?

It was then that Yang noticed her girlfriend set the food down like she was done with her meal. When she'd only taken a tiny bite. Weiss didn't miss the worried look and picked up the fork, attempting to eat a slice of pineapple.

The blonde's girlfriend usually took small bites. Instead of nagging her, Yang left her alone to eat at her own pace.

Curious, Yang faced her partner. "Did ya finish the math assignment yet, Blakey?"

Blake set the tuna sandwich on the napkin that acted as a plate. After she swallowed, she spoke. "Yeah. I figured out most of the equations."

After a tiny gasp, Yang leaned in. "Can I sneak a peek? Please, please pretty please."

Ruby set her water bottle down before she could take a sip. "You should really start doing your own homework."

"Aw, come on," Yang said in a bargaining tone. "Just one more time? You know physics isn't my best subject."

Blake pushed her strawberries to the side so Ruby could grab some. "You did well on the last test."

"Because I studied my ass off for two weeks straight!" the blonde exclaimed. "I can't keep goin' forever!"

Ruby adorned a smirk as she glanced at the shorter girl sitting next to her. "Why not ask Weiss? She's in AP physics! She's better at it than anyone."

All Weiss could do was lightly smile as she drank some water. Being praised for academics was something she thrived on. Yang sensed an overwhelming confidence coming from the heiress and whispered.

"She'd never let me copy!"

"Hey!"

Apparently, her whisper wasn't quiet enough.

"It's true!" Yang exclaimed.

"I'm not going to argue with that," Weiss admitted.

"Even she knows it's true," the blonde pointed out.

Instead of retorting like Weiss normally would, she placed her hands in her lap. Her eyes rested on her lap. Her food had barely been touched. Her water bottle was nearly full.

From the troubling observations, Blake, Yang, and Ruby's concerned eyes met. Their meals were almost gone.

Ruby spoke for them. "Weiss, are you gonna-"

Before she could finish her question, a scroll vibrated on the table. It was true that the cafeteria was full, but the tremors were violent. From the noise, Weiss flinched.

He's calling again? Weiss thought. What could it be this time?

Just yesterday during their intimate session, her and Yang were interrupted by a phone call. Yang thought that maybe it was the same person calling her girlfriend. If that was the case, it must've been urgent.

"They must really want to get a hold of you," Yang observed. "Did ya call 'em back?"

"I'm going to take this," Weiss said as she grabbed her phone, her voice almost shaking. "I'll be back."

Before any of her teammates could get in a word, the heiress was out of sight and down the hallway. The cafeteria was too noisy, so they understood why she left.

There was this nagging feeling in Yang's mind. A terrible, horrible feeling. Something was wrong. Something was really wrong.

"Go, Yang," Ruby suggested. "You should check on her."

"You noticed she was actin' weird, too?" Yang asked, skeptical.

"Duh, she's my partner," the leader stated. "You've also been worried."

Sadly, Yang looked at Blake. "It was that obvious?"

"Yeah," Blake confirmed. "Go and bring her back. I'll shove some grapes down her throat if it comes down to it."

Yang couldn't help but chuckle from that.

"Let's hope you don't have to."

Whaaaat is our Weissy hiding?! Spill the beans!

Stay dandy,
