The next few days were quiet. Now that we'd finally gotten our hands on each other, we were able to think of other things besides how much we wanted to bend each other over a table. Team RWBY prepared for our fight in the tournaments, training every day to make sure that we'd be a force to be reckoned with, no matter what kind of team we'd face. But after every long day at school or every brutally exhausting training session, instead of reading Ruby a story alone or hopping into my bed alone, I had Blake with me. She'd curl up in a tight ball, sometimes with a book and sometimes not, and lean against me. I don't know why that drove me crazy- just the small touches that made my heart race. It was like she wanted me there just as much as I needed her.
Not much else happened that week. We trained together, laughed together, ate together. Most times as a team and sometimes as a couple. Sometimes JNPR and SSSN came over and Nora, Pyrrha and I wrestled while Blake and Ren read stories. Everything felt normal. As if Blake was just another part of my life. It was weird, but… nice. Sometimes she'd make her way from her bunk into mine late at night, not even bothering to ask anymore- she already knew she was more than welcome. We drank tea together and I read her stories over her shoulder while she purred in my arms. Spending intimate time with her became like spending sister time with Ruby. It was just something that happened.
"We got a package! Who ordered something," Ruby chanted as she signed the Scroll the delivery man handed her.
"It's mine," Blake called, untangling herself from my arms to lean forward off my bunk and reach for the box. Ruby tossed it to her, not even bothering to watch to see if Blake would catch it- she knew she would.
"What's in the box, babe," I asked curiously. It wasn't often Blake bought things- having grown up outside the kingdoms in the White Fang, she didn't exactly have family to ask for money. She never made a big deal out of it, but I always made sure to buy extra food whenever Ruby and I ordered take-out.
"It's… well…" Blush ran to her cheeks as she held the cardboard box in her hand. It was small and rectangular- about the size of a book- but sounded empty and looked to weigh a lot less than a book that size should. Instead of answering, Blake opened the box, tearing the tape used to seal the cardboard and emptying its contents on my sheets. About a dozen yellow ribbons sipped out, about a foot long and four inches wide. I touched one and could tell they were made of pretty soft silk, but I couldn't tell what they were for.
"Ribbons," I asked curiously.
"For a bow," Blake responded. I didn't understand until she reached for her head, untying the black bow off her ears. The black ribbon floated to the bed as she tied on the new one, bright yellow and twice as soft. Her ears twitched as she finished the knot, testing to make sure it was secure.
"Aw, Blake you two are matching," Ruby giggled excitedly as she sat in her bed. Weiss poked her head out from the small cave her bed and Ruby's made, and smirked as she saw Blake's bow. She pulled her head back just as quickly as Zwei whined for more attention. She got back to petting him with her free hand, and studying for her Grimmology test.
"It took a while to find a color that matched your hair," she whispered softly, cheeks red.
"You look adorable," I told her. I'd never seen anything cuter.
