Ruby yawned and rolled over from where she'd been snuggled up against Blake's chest to see what the time was. It turned into a soft groan as the early predawn hour glared back at her from the clock.

'S what I get for drinkin' so much milk before bed, she thought to herself sleepily.

She sat up, scratching at her sides and making sure she was still fully clothed. Her girlfriends and her teammates had come to an agreement that, to avoid future embarrassment, the three of them should sleep with clothes on when either Yang or Weiss were in the room if at all possible. Pyrrha was quick to agree, though Ruby didn't really see what the issue was if they were covered by sheets.

Though, she supposed accidents could happen. She giggled to herself at the memory of the uncomfortable look on Weiss' face when she'd participated in the discussion.

Yeah, I suppose it's worth it to spare Weiss from seeing anything that would scar her.

She laughed quietly to herself as she scampered into the bathroom and took advantage of the facilities. She had a feeling that, behind the cool and authoritative exterior, Weiss wasn't nearly as prissy as she let on. Still, even though they were friends and partners, some things just didn't need to be shared. Partial nudity being one of them, seeing how they usually changed clothing in the bathroom.

Well, except for Yang, but the blonde just didn't seem to care overmuch who saw her.

On her way back to bed, Ruby glanced with instinctual concern to make sure her partner was still sleeping well.

Only to spy an empty bed.

The brunette stood in the middle of the room, blinking uncertainly. Now, it had been said before that she wasn't always the brightest cookie in the cookie jar, but in reality it was more her sleepy state of mind that explained why she stood there for a full minute before even thinking of glancing over at the bunk bed above Blake's.

Sure enough, alongside the expected mane of blonde hair were long white locks that glowed in the dim light of the room.

She slapped her hands over her mouth before she could let an incredulous laugh escape. Once she was sure she had herself under control, she tiptoed back to Blake's bed and gently shook the Cat Faunus awake.

Blake blinked her eyes open and parted her mouth, but Ruby placed a finger over the raven-haired girl's lips while laying another alongside her own. She repeated the process with Pyrrha while the bemused Faunus girl watched, then the brunette motioned for the both of them to join her.

Ruby stood with her toes on the edge of Blake's bed frame so that she could peer over the edge, while Blake was forced to stand on her tiptoes. Pyrrha, of course, could stand flat-footed. The three of them, all lined up, stared at the sight.

"Weiiiss…" Ruby murmured quietly, a mischievous grin on her face. She reached out and gently poked the heiress' arm from where it resting on top of the one that Yang had draped around her midsection.

The white-haired girl mumbled something sleepily as she cracked her eyelids open.

Three sets of eyes, silver, amber, and emerald green, all twinkled at her merrily.

"Whatcha doin'?" Ruby asked in a sing-song voice.

Suddenly wide awake, Weiss bolted upright, the motion rousing Yang as well.

"Huh?" the blonde mumbled blearily. "Whazzat?"

"Ruby!" Weiss exclaimed, her pale face blushing brightly. "I- I- I can explain, you see, er… I was cold!"

"Uh-huh," Ruby drawled, unconvinced. "Nope, not buying it, Weissy."

"I do believe you are busted," Pyrrha proclaimed humorously.

Yang sighed, pulling Weiss back against her chest though the smaller girl remained sitting. "Well, it was gonna come out eventually, especially if you're really coming home with us over summer break…"

Ruby quirked an eyebrow at this, and glanced up at the flustered heiress for confirmation.

Blake decided to take pity on the poor girl. "You know we don't mind," she murmured. "But I'm sure there's a story here."

"Yes, well…" Weiss sighed softly, playing with her hair before resting her hands atop Yang's arm. "After my… date with Velvet, Yang was very supportive. We talked quite a bit…"

"I was all comfortin' an' all," Yang mumbled sleepily.

Weiss smiled softly before giving the blonde a light slap on the arm that remained firmly wrapped around her waist. "Hush. Let me finish." She looked back at the trio of girls who were waiting expectantly. "In any case, we, er, broke past some of our barriers we'd erected with our… bickering…"

"Huh," Ruby mused. "There has been a lot less of that, hasn't there…"

"Yes, well… Initially it really was because I was cold one night, honestly," Weiss insisted mildly. "But then… I kept coming back. I've been sneaking back into my own bed every morning since I'm the first one up usually."

Yang chuckled lightly. "Yeah, who knew she could be so Schnee-ky," she quipped.

The blonde cheerfully ignored the four glares sent her way.

"But how did you manage to get in and out of bed without Blake noticing?" Pyrrha asked curiously, glancing at her raven-haired girlfriend.

Weiss rubbed the back of her neck self-consciously. "Well… I noticed she's been a much heavier sleeper ever since, er… the three of you began sharing a bed."

"It's true," Blake shrugged, unconcerned.

"I just… was perhaps a little bit embarrassed about what you all might think…" Weiss trailed off hesitantly.

"Whelp," Ruby smiled. "At least now you don't have to sneak back down in the morning anymore, right?"

"Er… right?"

The brunette giggled lightly before ducking back down. "G'night again, Weiss, Yang."

Pyrrha and Blake nodded and smiled as they each bid them goodnight as well, dropping down onto the bed below once more.

Yang gave a sleepy yawn as she dragged Weiss back down into her embrace. "Toldja it wouldn't be a big deal."

The heiress sighed and rolled her eyes while snuggling back into the warmth of her blonde teammate. "Yes, fine, you were right. Happy?"

The blonde placed a quick kiss onto the side of Weiss' neck, making the heiress giggle lightly. "Yep, am now."

Just then, Ruby popped back up, her silver eyes shining. "Hey, Weiss?"

"Yes, Ruby?"

"I'm really happy for you."

Weiss smiled softly. "Thank you, Ruby."
