My bedbuddy!

Chapter 2

Yang noticed something was wrong with Ruby. After her talk with Weiss, Ruby had been acting strangely around her. It was like Ruby was avoiding her, talking only very little to her and keeping her distance. This hurt Yang deeply. She wondered if she had done something to upset her sister, but couldn't think of anything.

When it was time to go to bed, Yang noticed that it would be a really cold night. 'Guess I'm going to have Ruby in my bed tonight,' Yang thought to herself with a smirk.

Yang was still awake when Ruby started moving around in her bed. She looked at Ruby as she quietly hopped off her bed. Yang was smirking the whole time, thinking that Ruby would ask her if she could sleep with her.

However, she was shocked when Ruby walked to the closet, pulled out an extra blanket and went back to her own bed. Yang was staring at Ruby with wide eyes as she tried to comprehend what just happened. With a pained heart, Yang went back to sleep while thinking about her sister's strange behaviour and hoping all would go back to normal the next day.

The next day things were similar. Ruby was keeping distance to Yang and it broke the blonde's heart. Yang kept wondering what could have caused all of this.

When it was night and the whole team RWBY was sleeping, Yang was woken up by Ruby tossing around in her bed. She immediately understood that Ruby was having a nightmare and wanted to do nothing more than to go to Ruby's bed and comfort the younger girl. However, because of the day's events, she was hesitating. She didn't know how Ruby would react.

In the end, Ruby woke up and got out of bed. Yang was sure that this time Ruby would ask to sleep with the blonde, but instead she went to the closet again. She pulled out the cloak her mother gave her and wrapped it around her shoulders, before going back to bed and falling asleep again.

Yang could feel her heart breaking more. Whenever Ruby had a nightmare before, she would always come to Yang for comfort. Now she didn't even spare a glance at the blonde while she was walking across the room. Yang went back to sleep with one thought in her head, 'Tomorrow I'll ask her what this is about.'

After they were done with their classes the next day, Yang decided to ask Ruby what was going on with her. As she entered their dorm, she saw Ruby reading on her bed, while both Weiss and Blake were doing the same on their beds. While she would have liked to discuss her issue with Ruby in private, she couldn't hold her feelings down anymore. She needed to get answers and she needed them now.

''Ruby, we need to talk. Now,'' Yang said to Ruby.

Ruby hopped off her bed and walked up to Yang. ''Is something wrong, Yang?'' Weiss and Blake were staring at the two sisters now, wondering what was going on.

Yang's eyes narrowed. ''Oh, you bet there is.''

Ruby gulped and was starting to get nervous. She couldn't understand why Yang would be so upset.

''You have been avoiding me lately, Ruby. Not only that, but last night you had a nightmare and you didn't climb up to my bed. You also didn't do it the night before, when it was really cold. So what is wrong with you Ruby!? Why are you avoiding me suddenly!?''

Ruby looked down at her feet. For a moment there was complete silence. Yang thought that she may have been too hard and was about to apologize, until Ruby spoke up,''I'm sorry Yang. I am so sorry... for everything.''

Yang was confused by Ruby's words. ''Sorry for everything? What are you talking about?''

''I've been hurting you all this time without even realizing it. You had to put up with me all this time, because I was too weak and too pathetic. Because of that, I have practically ruined your life.''

Yang was even more confused now. ''Ruined my life!? Ruby, what are you-''

''All the time you could have used for your own needs, you had to waste on me. You could have hung out with your friends or spent time with your hobbies, yet I took that time from you, like a selfish, spoiled child.''

Yang was starting to realize what Ruby meant with her words. ''Ruby, you didn't do anything wrong! I-''

''No Yang. I did. I was afraid of other people. Of making friends. So I latched myself onto you. Because of that, I hurt you. I... I wouldn't blame you, if you were tired of me. Or even hated me.''

Yang's eyes widened. ''I don't! Why would you even think that!?''

Ruby gave a sad smile. ''I'm glad you don't. However, it's time for me to grow up, Yang.'' Ruby walked past Yang to the door. ''I can't keep holding onto you all my life. I need to let you live your own life finally and start living mine. We have to go our separate ways one day. That means I have to stop dragging you down and especially I need to stop waking you up in the middle of the night for childish reasons.''

Yang felt like her heart was stabbed with each word Ruby spoke. She looked at Ruby and reached a trembling hand towards her. ''Ruby... please... I...''

Ruby gave a bright smile to Yang. ''It must have been frustrating to get woken up by me all those times, right? Well, you don't have to worry about it anymore, because I am going to start standing on my own from now on. No matter how hard it gets.'' With that Ruby walked out of the room.

The three older girls were left staring at the door with wide eyes. Especially Yang, who looked just dumbstruck. Her face was pale and her left eye was twitching.

The room was silent for a moment until Weiss spoke up,''I am so proud of her.'' Yang's ear twitched at the heiress' words.

''What do you mean?'' Blake asked.

''I told Ruby she needed to finally stop latching onto Yang so much, especially sleeping in her bed. It could have had bad effects on all of us, so I decided to put a stop on it. Now she is finally acting mature, like she should!'' Weiss was practically beaming with happiness.

Blake frowned and was about to say how unnecessary Weiss' actions were, but Yang spoke before she could. ''So this is all your fault, Weiss?''

Weiss flinched at Yang's emotionless voice. ''Well... I guess so. Although, I think that's a rather negative way of putting it.''

Yang slowly turned her head towards Weiss. The heiress was shocked to see that Yang's eyes were red and full of hate and rage. Blake was also shocked by this.

''Weiss,'' Yang said while gritting her teeth.

''Y-Yes?''

''I... am... going to KILL YOU!'' With a fierce yell Yang ran towards Weiss. Blake knew that she needed to interfere and grabbed a hold of Yang, keeping her away from killing Weiss.

''I'LL KILL YOU! I'LL KILL YOU! I'LL KILL YOU!'' Yang kept yelling the same thing over and over again. Blake could only barely hold the raging blonde from killing Weiss and started calling for help. Luckily, team JNPR was nearby and came to Blake's aid. With the five of them they managed to hold down Yang long enough for her to calm down.

After the whole incident was over, Yang was sitting on Blake's bed with her head down, while the others were all standing around her. Silence loomed over the room as everyone was looking at Yang.

Finally the silence was broken by Jaune,''So... Could one of you tell us, what exactly happened over here? I have seen Yang angry before, but never THAT angry.''

Blake quickly told team JNPR, what had happened. After her explanation, they were even more confused.

''So let me get this straight. Yang got upset because Ruby doesn't sleep with her anymore?'' Ren asked.

Yang decided to finally speak up, ''It's more than just that. Thanks to Weiss, Ruby thinks that she has been ruining my life. In reality, it's the opposite.''

''Care to elaborate?'' Pyrrha asked. All the occupants in the room were paying close attention to Yang now, wanting to know the meaning behind her words.

Yang sighed deeply. ''It's a long story. You see... Ruby is not actually my sister. She is adopted.''

Everyone was looking at Yang with wide eyes. ''She's adopted? Does she know?'' Blake asked.

Yang shook her head. ''No. She still thinks that we are related. Even I shouldn't know yet. I only managed to find out by listening on our parents' conversation one night when I was eight.''

''That doesn't explain why you were trying to kill me a second ago.'' Weiss said with a frown. Her expression changed to fearful, when Yang glared at her.

''I was getting to that. I told you it was a long story, didn't I?'' Yang took a deep breath before continuing. ''Ruby and her mother, Summer, joined our family soon after my own mother disappeared. Apparently, Ruby's dad had left her and Summer, and they were without a home. My father knew Summer from old times and offered her a place to stay. Soon they fell in love and were married.''

Everyone was processing this new information. They had no idea that their friends would have such a past. It did explain why Ruby and Yang had different names and appearances, despite being sisters.

Yang continued,''Ruby was always a very shy and awkward person. When she was a kid, she had a lot of trouble making friends. Especially after her mother died. She was almost always alone and even got bullied. In the end, I was the only real friend she ever had. I began spending more and more time with her, so that she wouldn't be alone.''

Weiss decided to speak up at that point,''That's exactly the problem! She shouldn't hang onto you all the time! You're not kids anymore!''

Yang glared at Weiss again. ''Who the hell are you to decide what we should do!? You know almost nothing about me, Ruby or our past! So shut up and listen to the end!''

Weiss hid behind Pyrrha. She decided not to speak until Yang was done talking. Otherwise she might not live to see another day.

Yang continued her story, ''The thing about Ruby is that she's too kind for her own good. She noticed how I started to spend more time with her over my friends and tried to distance herself from me. She was willing to be alone for the sake of me and my friends.'' Yang shed a tear at the memory. ''I couldn't allow that. Ruby was more important to me than all my friends combined. So I became inseparable from her. I started hanging out with her more and more. I even started ignoring some of my friends.''

''Why would you go that far for her?'' Blake asked.

Yang gave a small smile. ''Because I wanted to. While you thought that Ruby was clinging to me, it was actually the other way around. Ruby was something truly special to me. One of a kind and I couldn't get enough of her. In time, my feelings only grew more. I wanted to be near Ruby more and more. I wondered about this for a long time. In the end, I could only come to one conclusion.''

''And that was?'' Ren asked.

''I loved her. I loved Ruby with all my heart,'' Yang said, while shedding more tears and smiling. The others were somewhat shocked by this. They weren't exactly expecting something like this to be revealed to them.

After a moment of silence, Yang stood up, wiped her eyes and gave a hard look at everybody in the room. ''I don't care what you think about me. I love Ruby. She is my most precious person in the entire world and I would do anything for her. So if you guys don't accept the fact that I have feelings for her, then you can go straight to hell.''

''No one is thinking like that,'' Blake said and smiled at Yang.

''Yeah! There's no reason for us to think less of you for your feelings!'' Jaune said, cheering up his friend.

Yang looked at all of her friends and saw acceptance and happiness in their eyes. She felt like a heavy weight was lifted off of her shoulders. ''Thank you. Thank you all. You have no idea how much this means to me.''

''But I do have a couple of questions,'' Weiss said. ''When you got here with Ruby, you seemed to want her to partner with someone other than you and go to a different team. Why's that?''

''Although I want to be with her, I do think she needs to have friends of her own. I don't like the idea of her being completely alone, if something were to happen to me. Also, at that time I was thinking that a relationship between us couldn't be possible and tried to push her away. I have gotten rid of that thought some time ago now,'' Yang answered.

''Why haven't you confessed to her yet?''

''There isn't exactly a good way to say 'Hey! You're adopted and your big sis is in love with you!', or is there?'' Everyone sweatdropped at that. She did have a point. ''Also, I haven't exactly worked up the courage to tell her.''

Nora smirked and decided to tease Yang a bit. ''Are you sure that's a good idea? I mean, she is pretty cute and I could-''

Yang cut her off, ''You better be joking Nora! I swear to God!'' Yang's eyes were red and her hair was glowing. Everyone immediately paled at the sight.

Nora hid behind Ren. ''It was a joke! A joke! I swear it was only a joke!''

After Yang had calmed down, Weiss decided to ask her one last question, ''Lastly, why is her not sleeping with you such a bad thing? I don't understand why you're so upset about that.''

Yang looked down sadly. ''It's the only way I can be somewhat intimate with her. When she is sleeping with me, I feel like a future with her is possible. It's those moments that calm down my anxious heart.'' She shed more tears as she continued, ''And now that is gone. And she's also avoiding me. And it's all your fault, Weiss.''

Weiss, feeling guilty, walked up to Yang and hugged her. ''It's okay Yang. I'll talk to Ruby. Soon all will be just like normal. Don't worry.''

''Yeah, Yang! We'll help you! There's no need to worry!'' Nora exclaimed. The others nodded in agreement. They would help their friend, no matter what.

Yang felt relieved that she had such good friends, yet felt that things wouldn't go as well as she hoped.

Second chapter up! I just couldn't wait to put this out there, so I decided to simply go for it. Also, it's good practice for figuring out how things work here. I actually have all the chapters ready. I just need to check them out first for errors, before uploading them.

Also one more thing. Sorry if this chapter felt rushed. I honestly wanted to get through it so I could get into the more comedic parts of the story. Hope you still enjoyed it though!
