My bedbuddy!
Chapter 9
Weiss was sitting at her desk, studying. Her teammates were currently away. Yang was in the nurse's office, Blake had gone to the library and Ruby had ran away from Yang to God only knows where. She finally had the peace and quiet she had been longing for a while now, and she was not going to waste it.
'Finally! No Yang to complain about her troubles with Ruby, no Ruby causing noise or Blake to disturb me!' the heiress thought with a smile.
Her peaceful time was interrupted when Yang walked in though. Weiss let out a sigh. 'So much for that...' she thought as she looked over her shoulder at her teammate, who was looking around the room.
''Where are the others?'' Yang asked.
''Blake went to the library. Don't know where Ruby is though,'' Weiss replied as she turned back to her book.
Yang's sight turned towards Weiss. ''So it's just you and me here?''
''Yup.''
The blonde suddenly smirked. ''That's good. I was wondering if you could help me try something out.''
''What's that?''
Yang only smirked wider as she pulled out the bottle she took from the nurse's office.
Meanwhile in the city, the NPR of team JNPR was waiting for their leader at a small restaurant. Their leader had gone to a shop that specialized in selling all sorts of materials for different kinds of hobbies. They had already been waiting for a couple of hours for their leader to return, but Jaune was nowhere to be seen.
''What's taking him so long? I'm bored!'' Nora whined.
''Calm down, Nora,'' Ren told his partner. ''Jaune said he had an idea to help Yang, so we should wait and see what it is. From what I understand, any good idea is in need.''
''But it's been hours already,'' Pyrrha stated with worry. ''What if something happened?''
Ren sighed. ''He's just taking his time. You know how he is.''
Pyrrha was about to speak up again, when the sound of the restaurant's door opening drew her and her teammates' attention. They saw their leader walking towards them with a small plastic bag in hand.
Jaune walked up to his teammates. ''Hey guys! Hope I didn't take too long. This needed a good amount of time.''
''We waited for HOURS, Jaune!'' Nora almost yelled. ''I'd say you took too long!''
''While I don't feel as strongly about this as Nora does, you still had me worried, Jaune. What exactly took you so long?'' Pyrrha asked.
Ren eyed the plastic bag Jaune was holding. ''Does that bag have something to do with it?''
''Yup! This could actually help Yang with her sleeping problems!'' Jaune stated with a smile. ''You guys wanna see?''
After his teammates nodded, Jaune put the bag on the table to allow them to have a look. Their reactions were different.
Pyrrha smiled genuinely, feeling that there was hope for the situation with Yang.
Nora burst out laughing, finding the sight humorous.
Ren raised an eyebrow. ''Seriously?''
Blake was walking back towards her team's dorm. She would have liked to stay longer at the library, but Yang worried her. While she was certain that the nurse could help the blonde, she wanted to be there in case anything bad happened.
She walked into the dorm, fully expecting to see another disaster with Weiss trying to not get killed by Yang. She was surprised to see that nothing bad was going on at all. Weiss was apparently taking a nap on her bed and Yang was humming a happy tune as she was sitting on her bed, while holding something in her hands.
Yang noticed her teammate. ''Hey Blake!''
''Hey Yang. You seem awfully happy. Did your visit to the nurse's office go well?'' Blake asked.
''Yup! It went great! I got something from there and now I have a sure way to get some decent sleep!''
''That's good to hear. Although I'm personally not fond of using drugs to get sleep, I guess it can be of use.''
Yang grinned. ''Oh, don't worry! I tried this stuff on Weiss and she's sleeping like a log!''
Blake turned to look at her sleeping teammate. ''I... guess it's nice to know that your stuff works,... but did you really have to use it on Weiss? I don't think she'll appreciate that,'' the faunus said as she went to look over said heiress. The white-haired girl seemed to be peaceful.
Yang huffed. ''But of course! I needed to see if this stuff really works and get some practice as well!''
Blake turned to look at Yang, a confused expression on her face. '''Practice'? Why would you need to practice swallowing pills? And how is using them on Weiss practice?''
Now Yang looked confused. ''Who said anything about pills? I don't trust that stuff at all, so I got something really useful,'' the blonde replied and showed Blake the bottle she was holding.
Blake's eyes were wide as she read the label on the bottle. ''Yang,... is that chloroform!? How did you get that!? And did you really use it on Weiss!?''
''Uhhh... Yeah? I had to see how well it works. And I kinda 'happened' to get this,'' Yang replied.
Blake was shaking her head in frustration. ''I can't believe this! You stole it from the nurse's office!? Yang, that stuff can be dangerous! You can kill yourself! It should NOT be used in order to get any sleep!''
Yang looked confused again. ''Who said anything about using it on myself?''
''Wait... Then who...?'' Blake's eyes widened in realization. ''You're going to use it on RUBY!? How would that help!?''
Yang rolled her eyes. ''Well, DUH! I'll get Ruby in my bed, I'll be able to fall asleep and everything is well again! How could you not figure THAT out?''
Blake was getting angry now. She knew that Yang had deep feelings for Ruby, but this was just plain wrong! ''Yang, I can't let you do that to Ruby! Give me that bottle!''
Yang held the bottle closely, not willing to let her partner take it from her. ''NO! IT'S MINE! MINE, YOU HEAR ME!? MINE!''
The two started struggling for the bottle, until they heard a knock on their door. Not wanting anyone else to see them like this, the two girls decided to pretend like nothing was going on and settle this matter later.
''This is not over yet. Okay?'' Blake said and walked up to the door. She opened it and saw Jaune standing there, holding a plastic bag in his arms.
''Hi Blake!'' Jaune greeted. ''Is Yang here? I've got something for her.''
The faunus nodded and let him inside. Yang looked at Jaune with a raised eyebrow. She wondered what he could have for her.
''Yang, I have something for you that I think will help you with your sleeping problem,'' Jaune told the brawler.
''Is it in that bag?'' Yang asked and the boy nodded. ''Jaune, I've already tried all sorts of things. Do you really think that whatever you've got there will help me?''
''Well I think it's worth a try. Here!'' Jaune said and gave the bag to Yang.
Yang took the bag from the boy and looked inside it. Her eyes widened and she pulled out what was inside the bag. It was a plushie that looked like Ruby. The blonde stared at the toy with wide eyes.
''So...'' Jaune began. ''Do you like it?'' he asked nervously.
''Oh, Jaune... I LOVE IT!'' Yang yelled and hugged the toy tightly against her chest.
Jaune smiled. ''I'm glad to hear that. Two of my sisters used to have trouble sleeping sometimes and I had to do all sorts of things to help them, like singing lullabies and such. In the end, I managed to end their troubles by making them plush toys. I thought that might work with you as well.''
''Oh, this is the best thing EVER! I'm going to have to try this out right now!'' Yang exclaimed.
Blake and Jaune stared at Yang with confused expressions. ''Try it out? What are you-?''
Yang grabbed her sleepwear and ran into the bathroom. In just a couple of seconds, she came back in said clothes and jumped into her bed, all the while clutching her stuffed toy.
Both Jaune and Blake understood what Yang had been talking about. Jaune turned to the faunus and said,''I guess I'll be taking my leave now. Hope things go better now.''
Blake nodded and Jaune left. She decided to go take a look at Yang, to see if the toy had actually helped the blonde. When she took a look at Yang's face, she was pleased to see that the brawler was sleeping peacefully. Yang was clutching the stuffed toy as tightly as she could and was even sucking her thumb.
''I guess I was right. Yang really is the most childish out of all of us,'' Blake said to herself with a small smile on her face. She spared a glance at the unconscious Weiss. ''Too bad she didn't get to see this.''
The faunus took a picture of the sleeping Yang with her scroll. Then she went to sit on her bed and read a book. 'All is well that ends well, I guess.'
