My bedbuddy!

Chapter 3

Weiss had done as she had promised and talked with Ruby. She told Ruby that she might have overreacted when it came to the younger girl's nightly habits. She told Ruby that it was perfectly fine to hang around Yang as much as she used to. That she should forget what she had told her earlier and go on like their talk had never happened. That she should stop avoiding her sister.

Ruby took Weiss' words to heart and stopped avoiding Yang. She started to hang out with the blonde more. However, she still didn't do it as much as she used to, and she still wouldn't sleep in the same bed as the blonde.

This all had a bad effect on Yang. The blonde was stressed out and had trouble sleeping. Weiss was also certain that Yang blamed her for all of it. While Yang never voiced this, the heiress could feel her glaring at her and could hear the blonde cracking her knuckles every now and then. She was certain that Yang wanted to beat her to a pulp.

Weiss was desperately trying to get Ruby to act the same way around Yang, like she used to. She was trying like her life depended on it, which it probably did. ''Come on, Ruby! You don't have to act like this around Yang! Like I told you, you can be close to her and even sleep in the same bed, so why won't you do it!?''

''Because what you said had some truth in it, Weiss,'' Ruby answered. ''I am getting too old to be slipping into Yang's bed every time it's either cold or I'm having a nightmare. I'm also supposed to be a huntress and a team leader as well! I need to stop being so childish!''

Weiss was pulling her hair in frustration. ''Oh, for the love of...! Look Ruby, it isn't childish and it would actually have a good effect!''

Ruby raised an eyebrow. ''What kind of a good effect?''

Weiss was about to reply, but her words got caught in her throat. She honestly didn't have any good excuse for this. She couldn't tell the truth either. Weiss didn't know how Ruby would react to it and Yang would most likely kill her for it.

Searching her mind for a good answer, Weiss found one that she hoped would work. ''It's... good for... your complexion?'' she said, trying to convince her partner.

Ruby wasn't convinced. ''Weiss, that's one of the last things I need to worry about. I am training to be a huntress after all!''

''It's still good to think about it, you know!?'' Weiss tried desperately and failed.

Ruby shook her head. ''Weiss, my sister's well-being is far more important to me than my complexion OR my own well-being for that matter. I refuse to drag her down anymore due to my childish antics and that's final,'' she said before turning around and walking away.

Weiss stood still with her mouth hanging open. She couldn't believe that Ruby of all people had managed to beat her in a debate. It just shouldn't be possible.

''That was rather pathetic, if I say so myself,'' a voice said behind Weiss. She turned around and saw Blake walking towards her, with a frown on her face.

Weiss sighed. ''I know I didn't exactly show any great debating skills there, but what could I do? I can't really tell her anything to change her mind.''

Blake raised an eyebrow. ''Maybe you should think about it BEFORE attempting to debate her?''

Weiss shook her head in frustration. ''GOD! The only time Ruby actually listens to me and it's this!''

Blake's mood changed from disappointed to angry. ''What are you talking about? Ruby listens to you all the time! You have more of an effect on her than you know!''

Weiss looked at her teammate with wide eyes. ''What do you mean?''

Blake shook her head. ''Out of all of her teammates, you are the one Ruby wants to gain acceptance from the most! Every time you lecture her about studying, she spends more of her free time in the library studying! Every time you lecture her about her fighting techniques, she starts training more and honing her skills! You're not just her partner and teammate. You're a person Ruby looks up to and admires!''

Weiss blushed at the faunus' words. ''I... didn't know that Ruby thought about me like that.''

Blake sighed. ''And now you're finally seeing it for yourself. Honestly, if it were anyone else, we most likely wouldn't be in this situation!''

''Well, what am I supposed to do? I am completely out of any ideas!''

Blake thought for a moment. ''Hmm... Maybe you need some motivation.''

Weiss gave Blake a questioning look and the faunus motioned for the heiress to follow her. They walked to the gym, where the sound of a punching bag getting hit could be heard.

What Weiss saw, caused her to pale immediately. Yang was hitting the punching bag with all of her might and the bag had a crude painting of Weiss on it. Yang was aiming all of her punches into the picture and the heiress could see Yang's eyes changing to red from time to time. Weiss could also hear the blonde mumbling 'it's all her fault' over and over again.

''See, Weiss? That bag is going to change into you, if you don't fix the mess you caused,'' Blake told the heiress.

Weiss barely registered the faunus' words. She was too busy shaking in fear and feeling the need to change her underpants.

Chapter 3 up. I wanted to put it up because I wanted to show at least a bit of the humorous side of this story. Sorry about the length. Next chapter will be longer. It's a promise!
