Later That Night
"Pyrrha, great job in that fight today, once again! You managed to take out the entire team single-handedly pretty much!" Nora squealed, hugging her teammate with arms of steel.
"Thanks for watching my back, the one with the giant sword would have knocked me off balance if you hadn't pushed him away." Pyrrha replied, being the only one to withstand Nora's bear hugs other than Ren.
"Nora, shouldn't you let Pyrrha at least put Jaune to bed before gluing yourself to her side?" Ren noted, gesturing to the fainted warrior in Pyrrha's arms. Jaune had exhausted himself in the fight, barely able to walk back to the dorms afterwards.
"Right, forgot. Sorry Pyrr." Nora said, letting go of Pyrrha's waist and opening the door for the redhead.
"It's no problem, if I can take four guys attacking me with swords, I think I can take a Nora hug." Pyrrha laughed, setting Jaune down into his bed, who rolled over, his head making a thunk as it hit the wall.
"The knight in shining armor, eh Pyrr?" Nora asked, nudging Pyrrha's side.
"I think I'm going to retire, goodnight you two." Ren yawned, stretching. "Nora, don't forget to lock the door."
"I won't Ren. Any intruders we'll have are friends, as Ruby's the only other one with the keys to the door!" Nora said proudly, her point proven by Ruby and Weiss crashing through their door.
"See? Ruby!" Nora said proudly, pointing to the groaning pile that was Weiss and Ruby on the ground.
"What's the occasion?" Pyrrha asked, unclipping Jaune's chestplate and elbow guards.
"Faunus... Plus fish... Equals bad breath..." Weiss gasped out as Nora looked across the hall at an angry Blake and a shrugging Yang.
"You're free to bunk here if you guys want tonight." Nora said, gesturing to her bed. "Five-star bed all to you."
"Weiss, you can get the bed, I'll take the floor. I know how you get when you can't sleep." Ruby said, passing out on the floor to prove her point.
"Fine, I'll take the bed I guess." Weiss said happily, closing the door behind her and laying down in Nora's bed.
"Goodnight everyone!" Nora said as she turned out the lights. She hopped into Ren's bed, curling up by his side.
"Just do it, I know you want to"
"Boop!"
