Bed Crasher

Chapter 1: That Night

Weiss couldn't sleep again as she stared up at the underside of Ruby's makeshift canopy bed-slash-hammock thing. She didn't think she'd ever get any sleep with the looming threat that is her partner's bed. What she couldn't believe was that Ruby was peacefully asleep atop the dangerous thing.

Weiss wouldn't usually mind if it weren't for the fact that she was the one who was going to get crushed if, heaven forbid, the bed falls down. Grumbling to herself, Weiss laid on her side and closed her eyes, desperately trying to sleep. She is so going to throttle Ruby if her face started showing blemishes from sleepless nights.

A minute later, Weiss' ice blue eyes opened once more as she still couldn't get herself to relax. She saw Blake fast asleep, also on her side but was turned away from Weiss. She didn't even need to peek at Yang to see if she was asleep too, as that soft snoring could only be hers.

It's no fair that she's the only one who can't sleep over this... arrangement. The heiress then turned around and gave out a huff before determinedly closing her eyes. She didn't know how many more minutes passed before Weiss' body started to relax as she was already exhausted from classes. Just as she was about to finally drift off to sleep, she heard a tell-tale snapping noise that immediately jolted her awake.

She carefully sat up only to see that the left leg of Ruby's bed had sagged down. Alarmed, she immediately stood up and saw that one of the ropes that kept her partner's bed suspended had snapped... And all the others were dangerously close to doing so as well.

"Ruby!" Weiss screamed in warning. Blake was the one that awoke on Weiss' call and she was on her feet in an instant. Ruby just started sliding down, still fast asleep while Yang just turned to her side with a moan, dangerously close to the edge of her bed.

"Wake up you dunce!" Weiss yelled again as she can practically hear the ropes straining.

"Five more minutes mom..." Was Ruby's mumbled reply even as the other ropes finally snapped under the weight.

"Look out!" Blake yelled in alarm as Ruby's bed fell.

Weiss reacted immediately as her aura activated, the white snowflake rune that appeared below her shining brightly in the darkness as she jumped and grabbed Ruby in her arms before the bed completely collapsed on the bed below, making quite a ruckus that no doubt would be heard through the whole dorm.

Ruby finally opened her eyes in Weiss' arms as the heiress landed on her feet, struggling to keep the younger girl in her arms. Yang had also awoken, startled as she went over the edge of her bed.

Blake was already below the falling blonde, having immediately reacted to the thought that her partner was going to fall. The black-haired girl grunted a bit as Yang dropped heavily into her waiting arms. Thankfully though, Blake's strength held as she held Yang bridal style.

"What the hell was that?!" Yang had awoken to the sound of a large crash and right in the arms of her partner, her own arms automatically encircling around Blake's neck in a vice-grip as she landed. Finding herself face to face with the black-haired girl, Yang yelped in surprise.

"Yang... Could you please not choke me..?" Blake requested calmly even as Yang had clung to her tightly. Blake could already feel her muscles straining but she was sure the redness on her face was not being caused by that.

"Oh... right, sorry." Yang smiled sheepishly as she loosened her grip and Blake carefully placed her down so that she can stand up.

"...Weiss?" Ruby asked groggily, as the crash seemed like it hadn't completely woken the girl up as silver eyes looked almost dreamily at the heiress.

"Ruby, you idiot." Weiss growled as she glared down at her partner. Ruby felt a bit more alert at the familiar growl. Weiss looked really pissed off. It was then that she noticed that she was being princess-carried by Weiss Schnee herself.
