Misunderstandings

Greetings and salutations, fellow fanficers (fanfictioners? Faners?). As this is my first posting on the site, I'd like to take the time to thank all of the wonderful authors and fanfiction writers out there that have inspired me to write my own story and give back to the community. Without all of you, I would be without an endless source of entertainment and joy, and the world would be a much duller place. With that out of the way, let's get right to the story.

Disclaimer: I do not own RWBY. That honor goes to the magnificent team of Rooster Teeth and the illustrious Monty Oum, may he rest in peace.

"… And then I punched him into next week," Yang said smugly as she, Blake, and Weiss made their way back to their room. "Literally. Took him a week to get back to Signal." Blake rolled her eyes, but hid a small smile behind her book.

"That was a completely disproportionate response," Weiss murmured, sighing to herself. "Cutting off a few strands of hair doesn't merit being launched a hundred miles away."

Yang brushed a hand through her blonde hair before responding, "No one messes with my hair and gets away with it. No one."

"I seem to remember that Ruby tripped and splattered milk all over your hair just a few days ago," Blake drawled, turning a page in her book. "I'd say that she got away with it."

Yang shook her head, grinning widely. "No, see, since she's my sister I can't just punch her can I? What I can do is ask a few of my friends from Signal to take all the cookies before lunch one day. I'd say that will make us more than even."

Blake inclined her head, conceding the point. She could almost imagine the heartbroken expression that Ruby would have upon realizing that there would be no cookies for lunch. She reached for the doorknob to their room, but Yang grabbed her wrist, making a shushing motion with her other hand. She put her ear to the door, motioning for Blake and Weiss to follow her lead.

"Ruby! What are you doing!" Jaune's frantic voice rang out from team RWBY's room.

"Don't worry Jaune! The rest of my team are in Vale right now – they shouldn't be back for a while yet. We've got plenty of time to do this." Ruby replied cheerfully.

"Oh I see – wait, what does that have to do with this?"

"It means that we won't be disturbed. Unless you want an audience watching us?"

"I guess not," Jaune's voice murmured.

"Then don't worry," Ruby's voice soothed. "You wanted to do this just as much as I did. Unless… I'm not good enough?"

"Nonononono, you're great Ruby, I can't think of anyone else I'd want to do this with. But what happens if we make a mess or something?"

"We should be able to do this and then clean up before they get back – there's nothing to worry about."

"But… in their room? What happens if they find out?"

"Jaune, there's no way that they'll be able to figure out we did anything as long as we make sure to clean up. I bought an air freshener a week or two ago, so there's no need to be worried about the room smelling either!"

"You've really thought of everything haven't you?" A brief pause. "But really, what do we do if they find out?"

"We'll deal with it as it comes. If you don't want to Jaune, we can wait, but I've wanted to do this for a long time now, and this might be our only opportunity for a while. So please?"

Silence fell, and Weiss turned to whisper to the other two, "You don't think… they're doing… that, do you?"

Yang scoffed. "No way. Jaune may have come a long way from being Vomit Boy, but he doesn't have the balls to do something like that with Ruby, and in OUR room, no less. They're probably just going to watch a movie and eat popcorn or something." She grinned. "Besides, Ruby wouldn't do that with someone unless she'd been dating them for a while, and there's no way she or Jaune could hide that from me."

Blake nodded in agreement. "Things like this happen quite often in books. It almost never turns out how the listeners think. We shouldn't jump to conclusions."

Jaune groaned, seeming to have made up his mind. "You know I can't resist when you give me that look Ruby. Alright, fine, but if we get caught, then YOU have to be the one to explain to everyone else."

"Got it!" Ruby chirped happily. "But we won't be. With your team and my team both out, there's no way we'll be caught!"

"Please don't tempt fate like that… things always seem to go wrong after someone does that…"

"That only happens in books and anime, Jaune. Now, come on, get up here!"

"Are you sure Ruby? I'm not entirely sure if your bunk bed could handle having two of us on the top. It seems a bit risky."

A pause. "Good point. The bottom one will be safer."

Fabric rustled as Ruby climbed off the top bunk. "Now things should be okay."

Weiss nodded to herself as the bed began to creak. The bottom bunk would definitely be much safer than the top bunk. Wait a minute… She threw open the door to find…

"WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING ON MY BED!?" She shrieked.

"Whoa there Ice Queen," Yang said, pushing past her. "It's not like… they're… doing… Jaune, I hope that you have your last will and testament written out." Her aura blazed to life as she readied Ember Celica.

"I knew this was a bad idea," a naked Jaune groaned as he glared at an equally naked Ruby.

Yes, they were indeed about to do the deed. I decided to rate this story T for teen, as there isn't any explicit content, but if people find this offensive or feel that it should be rated M, then I will happily oblige and move the rating up a level. I hope to update this soon – how soon, I don't know, but almost certainly within the next week at most. Until next time!
