Chapter 23: Not Exactly Blameless
Heyyyoooo! It's The Draigg here again, with a new chapter for you guys, the loyal readers! Now, I've said it time and time again, but Monty Oum owns RWBY, not I. I don't own anything, really. It's sad, but true. Anyway, let's just get to the story now. Be cautioned, this chapter has a little lemon zest.
Tuesdays were one of Team RWBY's favorite days. They didn't have any classes in the morning at all. That meant all of them could sleep in and relax for a little while longer. So, the whole team was still lying in bed at seven thirty in the morning.
Ruby's mind stirred around that time. Man, this warm pillow was soft. It felt really smooth under her hands. Enjoying the feeling, she ran her hands over the pillow. Weird, there were two buttons there. Ruby had never heard of a pillow with buttons on it before. That's odd, that pillow was also breathing too. Wait, a breathing pillow? Ruby opened her eyes.
Weiss' body was underneath Ruby's. Apparently, Ruby had rolled over on top of Weiss while she was sleeping. As if that wasn't bad enough, Ruby was currently groping Weiss' small chest. Ruby's face went as red as the gem she was named after.
"Oh man oh man oh man. What should I do?", Ruby thought frantically. If she tried to roll off of Weiss, she might accidentally wake her up. But, if she didn't move, Weiss might get angry, since she was currently fondling her breasts. Ruby was frozen with indecision.
Now that she thought about it, Weiss' small breasts fit perfectly in her hands. As Weiss' breathed, she could feel her nipples press through the fabric of her nightgown. It was increasingly apparent to Ruby that Weiss wasn't wearing a bra under there. Ruby tried to move her left hand, but she stopped when Weiss' breath briefly hitched. She could feel Weiss' nipple grow a little stiffer under her hands.
Ruby was now a little curious. She knew that could happen if you were cold or if a baby needed to be nursed. But if she could intentionally stimulate that, how would Weiss react to more? Her fascination growing, Ruby began to move her hands in small circles of Weiss' pert breasts.
The expression on Weiss' face changed. It looked like some tension was building up. Licking her lips in her sleep, Weiss breath became a little more labored.
Weiss began make small, cute noises. "Eep!", went Weiss as Ruby pushed her hand down a little harder.
Hearing that, Ruby wanted to listen to more of her noises. She didn't know why, but the sound Weiss was making was making her feel a little funny in her private area. Ruby shifted around, feeling a little uncomfortable.
Unfortunately, Ruby's agitated movements woke Weiss up. She had been having an odd dream. She and Ruby were playing a board game while wearing elegant, century old dresses. Just as Ruby was about to lose, she suddenly pulled down Weiss' top and started to play with her chest. It felt really good, too. But then for some reason, she was pulled out of her dream. Then, she saw the reason why.
Ruby was lying on top of her, with her hands rested firmly on her chest. A drying stream of drool was on the corner of Ruby's mouth. As Weiss stared at Ruby, Ruby stared back.
"Umm… good morning?", Ruby said, trying to avoid an awkward scenario. She had a look on her face that reminded Weiss of a five year old caught sneaking a cookie out of a jar.
"Ruby… why are you on top of me? And, more pressing, why are you groping me?", Weiss asked in a flat, tired tone. It was too early in the morning to start doing this type of stuff.
"Oh! Well… uh… geez, Weiss…", sputtered Ruby. There wasn't an excuse she could come up with in time.
A sigh came out of Ruby's mouth. "I just woke up like this…", she mumbled. Ruby could see that Weiss was having a hard time believing her.
"No, I'm serious!", Ruby said as she protested Weiss' look. "I must have crawled on top when we were asleep!".
Weiss grabbed Ruby's hands and put them at her sides. Shaking her head, she said, "Look, we can do that later. But, just be sure to tell me, okay?". Groaning, Weiss tried to sit up. In response, Ruby moved off of Weiss and sat to the side of the bed.
"Urrgghhhh… What time is it?", Weiss asked half awake, rubbing her eyes.
"Umm… seven thirty… ish?", Ruby replied.
"Are you asking me, or are you telling me?", Weiss shot back.
"I'm telling you!", Ruby replied almost immediately. In her curious state, she had forgotten an important rule with Weiss: don't mess around this early unless she's had her coffee. Thinking quickly, Ruby got up and headed over to the corner where all of their drinks were kept. Digging through all the empty cans of Abomination, Ruby managed to find a lukewarm can of coffee. Walking back over to the bed, Weiss held out her hand expectantly.
Taking the can from Ruby's hand, Weiss chugged it in one fell gulp. Taking aim, she then flung the can at the overflowing trash can. She really wasn't that different from Yang when it came to certain things.
Feeling the caffeine flow through her veins, Weiss began to fully wake up. Climbing out of bed, she gave a large yawn and stretched. She started to walk towards Ruby, but then she tripped over something. Looking around, Weiss saw that she tripped over Blake's boot. That's right! Yang pretty much knocked her out yesterday. That got Weiss' concern.
"Ruby, help me wake up Blake. We should take her to the Medical Ward.", Weiss ordered as she got up.
"Whaa? Why?", Ruby asked, confused.
"She could have a major concussion. Yang did hit her pretty hard, after all.", Weiss explained slowly. Leaping to Weiss' aid, Ruby began to shake Blake's shoulder.
"Blake! Wake up! We have to take you to the hospital!", Ruby yelled. Apparently, Weiss wanted to be a little more discreet, as evidenced when she poked Ruby in the ribs.
"Sshhh! People are sleeping!", Weiss harshly whispered.
"Not anymore…", came a voice from the top bunk. Unsurprisingly, Ruby's shouts had woken up Yang.
Yang swung her legs over the edge of the bed and hopped down. Rubbing her eyes, she asked, "What's with all the noise?".
"Blake might have a concussion. We're going to get her help at the Medical Ward.", Weiss bluntly stated. Then, Yang remembered last evening.
"Oh, yeah. I hit Blake in the head pretty hard, didn't I?", she thought to herself.
All of this noise had woken up Blake. That punch must have killed a lot of brain cells, since she started to act really weird.
Blake shot up out of bed, and started to stare at Yang intensely, their faces only an inch apart. After a moment of silence, she poked Yang on the nose and giggled.
"Boop!", Blake announced, her voice filled with pride. How the hell had Nora rubbed off on Blake?! This action really got the others concerned.
"Uhh… how do we get her there?", Yang asked, right before Blake hit her over the head with a pillow.
"Come on, you guys! Isn't this a fun slumber party, or what?!", Blake yelled as she kept on hitting Yang with a pillow. Yang tried to block the blows without countering them. She didn't need to make that head injury worse.
Meanwhile, Ruby's mind was racing. So, they needed to get Blake to help, but she was convinced that she was at a slumber party. Slumber party… what do people do at slumber parties… Then it hit her! She had an idea!
"Blake! Want to play a fun game!", Ruby announced.
"Yeah!", Blake cheered as she dropped the pillow and sat on the floor, cross legged. She had a look of wonder in her amber eyes. If this wasn't because of head trauma, Ruby would like to hang out with THIS Blake a little more.
"Okay, We…", Ruby gestured to the others, "Are going to make you fly.".
"Wow! Really?!", Blake said, trying to contain her excitement. Wow! That's incredible! Were her friends secretly magic?!
"Great! But, we need you to lay down with your eyes closed. We just need to talk about what spell to use.", Ruby explained. Blake nodded enthusiastically, and closed her eyes and covered them with her hands. This was going to be AWESOME!
Ruby turned to the others and whispered to them. "We can pick her up and carry her to the Medical Ward. But, we need to do it now, okay?", Ruby explained. This is where her leadership skills shone through. The others nodded in agreement. This was a good plan. The others crowed around Blake, ready to carry her.
"Klattu barada niktu!", Ruby mumbled some made up magic words. Blake was having a hard time keeping her excitement contained. She was really going to start flying!
RWY picked up Blake and carried her down the room. Good thing it was early in the morning, so no many people could see three disheveled girls in their pajamas carrying their team mate, who was covering her eyes and grinning like a loon.
"We really should have changed before we left.", Weiss complained to herself as she was carrying Blake on the walkway to the Medical Ward. While she had no mind helping a friend, she did have some objections to her current state. She felt like an exhibitionist, walking out in public wearing nothing but her nightgown. She knew that her nipples were poking through, since Ruby kept on looking at them. The two lovers couldn't stop blushing. Yang would laugh, but she had to stay quiet to keep up the charade. Blake, however, kept on talking.
"Wow, it's so cool outside! I wonder what the temp is!", Blake gushed, still covering her eyes.
That cool temperature certainly wasn't helping Weiss and Ruby's current position. Ruby just couldn't stop staring at Weiss' chest. She had nearly tripped about five times because of it. Somehow, Weiss' chest was pretty mesmerizing. Ruby didn't really know why, though. She tried to shake some unclean thoughts out of her head. She needed to get Blake help, darn it!
Weiss could see the Medical Ward approaching on the distance. Thank goodness, too! If she had to endure this torture any more, she just might break. She was glad to get there, even if it took about twenty minutes.
Waiting in the lobby was an odd experience. When Blake opened her eyes, she was amazed that she had 'flown' to the Medical Ward. Ruby then came up with an excuse that she was here to meet some sorcerers who specialized in healing. Blake was bouncing up and down in her seat, excited to meet those doctor-wizards.
Yang was watching a re-run of some game show on the television that sat in the corner of the waiting room. Holy shit, this was an odd experience. First her lover was convinced she was at a magic slumber party, and now she's waiting in a hospital in her pajamas. If there was a talking swan in the corner making sandwiches, then it would be almost exactly like a dream she had once.
Weiss was still blushing, constantly shoving down the hem of her nightgown. She was thoroughly embarrassed. "Why me? It's indecent to be out in public dressed like this! Actually, it feels kind of goo—NO IT DOES NOT!". No, she wasn't some lewd exhibitionist! She couldn't be! It wasn't right to be exposed in public, with Ruby wanting to fondle her breasts, to kiss the nape of her neck, with everyone watching as th—STOP THAT!
As Weiss was having a crisis with her sexual preferences, Ruby was busy trying to convince the person at the desk to let them in quick.
"Come on! She's hurt!", Ruby pleaded.
The secretary was having none of it. "Like I already said, wait in the lobby until your number is called.", she said, completely uninterested.
Ruby glanced around the room. Literally nobody else was in the room except the secretary and Team RWBY.
"There's nobody here!", protested Ruby.
"Do you want to get kicked out?", asked the secretary rhetorically, not looking up from her computer.
Ruby got the message. Dejectedly, she walked over to her team and sat next to Weiss.
"It's going to be a while.", Ruby reported to her.
Weiss sighed and clutched at her hem tighter. "Maybe I should just pull it up—NO.", is what shew was currently thinking. She wasn't raised to be some creepy pervert!
The others remained unaware at Weiss' interior struggle.
Finally, after waiting for about forty-five minutes, the team was called into an examination room. There, the examining nurse started asking about Blake's health history.
"So, can you tell me exactly why you brought her here today?", asked the nurse, preparing his clipboard.
"Well…", Yang stated, "There was some… dispute. It ended with her getting punched in the head. When she woke up, she was like… this.". Currently, Blake was waving around a tongue depressor as if were a magic wand. She was also occasionally pointing it at random things and saying "Zap!".
"Okay…", the nurse said, writing on a sheet of paper. "Has she received any major blows to the head before?", he asked.
Team RWBY fell silent as they tried to remember all the times Blake had gotten hit in the head. They were too embarrassed to say. None of them were exactly blameless when it came to giving Blake horrible head injuries.
Ruby cringed at a memory:
"Ruby, just adjust your grip like I told you! Don't try anything fancy!", Weiss advised.
Ruby had gotten into her head that she could become a member of Beacon's Golf Team. Currently, the entire team was gathered in the field near the gardens. They were helping Ruby practice. Or rather, Weiss was. Blake was reading a book, and Yang was surfing the web on her scroll.
Ruby felt pretty confident in her (non-existent) skills. "I got this!", she cried out.
Winding back to hit the ball on the grass, Ruby didn't really heed Weiss' advice. So, when she tried to hit the ball, the club went flying out of her hands.
It did, however, manage to hit something as it sailed through the air: Blake's forehead. She was knocked out cold when the club hit her.
Weiss was feeling embarrassed at a memory that was similar to Ruby's:
Team RWBY had been rowing a small boat down a stream. Apparently, Ruby thought his would be a good 'team building exercise'. Weiss naturally disagreed. Being stuck in the mud with mosquitos swarming at you wasn't her idea of a good time.
So, when they finally got to shore, Weiss was too angry to pay attention to her surroundings.
"Wow, isn't this place great!", Ruby exclaimed as she climbed out of the boat.
Weiss whipped around to face Ruby. "No, it isn't!", she declared. "It smells and it's hot! How is any of this great!".
Unfortunately for Blake, she was standing right behind Weiss when she turned around. Plus, Weiss was also carrying one of their boat paddles. Of course, the blunt end collided with the back of Blake's head.
Nobody really noticed Blake face down in the mud until a few minutes later, after they were done arguing.
Yang was also recalling a painful memory:
Blake had a real nasty habit of sneaking up and scaring Yang whenever they visited the library. Given that Blake was an avid reader, this was an incredibly often scenario. However, this time she had gotten the drop on Blake.
Sneaking up behind Blake, Yang grabbed a heavy book.
"Hey! Think fast!", she called out.
Yang thought that since Blake was a cat Faunus, she would use her reflexes to catch the book. She was wrong. Instead, the book collided with the side of her face when she turned to look at Yang.
It was a pretty heavy book, too. Who knew The History of the Third Age was so extensive?
"Not really.", all of them lied to the nurse at the same time.
Writing down what they had told him, the nurse then decided to check Blake's eyes with a penlight.
"Fairies! I KNEW it!", cheered Blake. Apparently, that light was a fairy in her mind.
The nurse then turned to the others.
"Just as I thought. She has a pretty severe concussion. Now, we can get her back to normal, but it'll take a few days. But, we'll stimulate her aura to help her healing along.", the attending nurse reported.
"Great!", said Ruby, as she walked over to the door, ready to leave.
"Wait.", commanded the nurse. "All of you need to fill out the proper forms before you leave here.". He then reached into a drawer and pulled out a large stack of papers. Dumping them on a nearby counter, he said:
"Now, there are pens at the front desk. If you want your friend…", he paused to look at the clipboard, "…Blake to get the proper help, you need to fill all this out.".
The team collectively gulped at the mountain of paperwork. This was clearly going to take a while. Resigned to her fate, Ruby picked up the stack of papers and walked back into the lobby. Dejectedly, the others followed.
About two hours later, the paperwork had mostly gotten filled out. For some reason, the sapient being related health forms were much more extensive than Grimm related ones. Apparently, Human/Faunus attacks were more of an insurance liability than creatures of darkness. Go figure.
The team sat there, their hands cramped from all of that writing. After finally finishing the form about berry allergies, Ruby stood up out of her chair.
"I'm done.", she declared, tired from all of that paperwork. The others nodded, and handed their finished work to Ruby. Ruby then walked over to the front desk and dumped all of the papers into the collection slot.
The others joined Ruby as she walked out of the door.
Outside, the walkways were bustling with student activity, as they moved from one class to another. Looking at a nearby clock, Ruby saw that it was past twelve already. Realizing this, the team's hearts collectively sunk. If one could slow down footage of the group, they could see the exact moment they realized they were completely screwed over.
Not only had they missed their class, but they were stuck halfway across the campus from their dorm room, still in their pajamas. They couldn't call anyone, since they left their scrolls there as well. On top of all that, Ruby messaged the others yesterday before going to bed to talk about the show around one o'clock at the cafeteria. One clear thought ran through each of Team RWY's minds:
Today was going to suck.
HARD.
