"Achoo! Achoo!" Weiss groaned loudly before blowing her nose on a really fancy handkerchief. I was pretty sure they were the most expensive boogers I'd ever seen.
"Weiss Schneezed," I chuckled. She'd been sneezing all day. Runny nose, itchy eyes, bad cough and a sore throat. She was totally sick and confined to our tiny dorm. Great.
"Say that terrible pun one more time, Yang Xiao Lo- achoo!" Even her sneezes were prim and proper. I wanted to make another joke, but I decided she was already suffering enough.
"Yang, I think she's allergic to your puns," Ruby chuckled. Our fearless leader was wrapped up in her blankets on her bed, tentatively looking down on us. To be fair I didn't want her to get sick, so I told her not to get up from her bed or touch anything Weiss might've sneezed on before I cleaned the room.
"She loves them, Rubbles." Everyone loves my puns. Everyone.
"Weiss? Do you think this might be allergies?" Blake's soft was a little muffled behind her book, but still loud enough for us to hear. She was sitting down in her bunk, her legs crossed while she fidgeted with random pages.
"I'm not allergic to anything but- achoo! Achoo! Achooo!" This sneezing fit was the biggest yet. Weiss blew her nose into her handkerchief one last time and rolled over. Two sniffles and a moan and she was already dreaming.
I locked eyes with Ruby who was trying really hard not to laugh.
"Don't touch anything, okay? And remember to wash your hands," I reminded her as seriously as I could. I didn't want her missing any classes because of Weiss' cold.
"Yeah, yeah, I know. I'll be fine," she sighed, closing the curtain blanket and sealing herself off from the rest of us.
I looked over to Blake and realized she was still on the same level as Weiss. Who knew how contagious the Ice Queen might be? "You'll probably catch what she has if you stay on your bunk, Blakey. Sleep with me tonight!"
"I doubt I could catch Weiss' allergies," Blake shuffled in her bed and reached for her bow. With one hand on her book, she tied it in a really neat bow. She was so great at tying it, and I really felt bad that she had to be that good at hiding who she was. Although I wasn't really sure why she was doing it now…
"Time for another joke."
"Didn't you hear? She's only allergic to sneezes." Ruby giggled a lot harder than Blake did, but Blake's face did soften a bit when she finished.
"Come on. Free cuddles with your favorite radiator," I promised, sweetening the deal. She rolled her eyes and crawled up into my bed.
"Night, Rubes!" I called before crawling into bed next to Blake.
"Good night guys," Ruby called back. I didn't have to worry about her falling asleep. She was snoring just as fast as Weiss had. I tucked myself in beside Blake and wrapped an arm around her. She pressed her face into my chest and tangled one of her legs in mine, getting comfortable pretty quickly. I really didn't mind. I was always glad to make my friends comfortable, and I was just a comfortable person. I guess it helps when people have two warm pillows to rest against thanks to me.
