talking, walking and... pillows?

Well had some spare time so here's a more mundane chapter ill talk a bit more after

But first, let me tell you a story
======================================================

I walked with Jaune back to his dorm room making small talk about the classes we had, Pyrrha even waited for us and walked with us most of the way but didn't try to get engaged with the conversation. I try ed to include her but she would shut down anything I said with a "well I don't know too much about that" or "that's nice" something along the lines of that.

We reach there dorm and Pyrrha opens the door, inside the room is about the same size as mine just with four beds all in a row. "Man I'm glad I have this aura now, I don't have to share a room with anyone" June looks at me "but sharing is half the fun" I glance over at Pyrrha the look on her face strongly disagrees. Jaune jumps onto one of the bed I making himself comfortable "well make yourself at home" Pyrrha says going over to sit on another bed. I look around the room and spot the desk chair, which is almost identical to the one I have and sit down in that.
The room goes silent, "you mind if I ask you something?" I say in a desperate attempt to start conversation. "What happened after I hit that basilisk?" They both look at me, not quite in shock but close to it. "Well I wasn't looking at first but after I heard this loud boom" Pyrrha started "I looked up to find you on the ground and the basilisk still flying through the air heading for the cliff" super speed and strength and what do you have to pay to get that? Only half your life in a coma, your mom and the chance to die at any second. Nice. "Pyrrha where are Ren and Nora?" I only realise as Jaune said it but Ren and Nora were right in front of us coming up, so they should have been here first. Suddenly in our while still thinking, Jaune's pocket starts to rumble "who could that be?" He mutters to himself as he fumbles his scroll out of his pocket. "Speak of the devil," Jaune says looking at his scroll it seems that Ren is calling him "Hi Ren...yep...yeah...oh god... I'll be right there" Jaune then rushes out of the room saying something about Nora and pancakes. "Well that was unexpected," Pyrrha says as the door swings freely after Jaune forgot to close it. "Should we, go after him or?" I say looking out the open door. "No I'm sure they're able to handle it themselves," Pyrrha says a lot more talkative and cheerful than when we first met. A strange look then covers Pyrrha's face, like she suddenly remembered something, something bad. She looks away almost in embarrassment of letting it slip "Y/N can you close the door" she doesn't look at me and instead remand looking at the corner of the room as I go close the door "there something I need to tell you" she says staring me in the eye "in your last fight, at the start you took a strong kick to the chest right?" I nod slowly absolutely lost in what she is saying "well when it hit it felt as if I took a similar kick" she looks down "I didn't think much of it at first but I asked Ruby if she felt the same thing, she said she felt it, the same as I did" she stops "you think this is because my aura right?" I say, I kinda feel bad now, if I fight as bad as I am now and mess up there going to have to feel the pain I go through "yes I do, I'm also worried it could be felt both ways" Pyrrha says "and if you do manage to add more people to this link, how will it affect you?" I see what she means, I mean everyone gets hit in a flight sometime and if we have eight people being hit I'll feel even blow. I don't think she has thought about if she gets hit and I feel it, will Ruby feel it as well. Best I keep something to myself.
"Well I guess we'll work on it and see then won't we," I say going over and sitting down beside her, not being exactly being positive but not being negative either. "I guess that one way to look at it" she says returning to he more cheerful self "well I should get going I have possibly years of learning to catch up on" I say making my way toward the door "I'm sure it not as bad as you think" she says smiling as she gets up to see me out as if I had to walk more than two feet to get to the door. I open the door and we say our goodbyes as I turn to leave as she closes the door behind me.
I stand there getting my bearings.
It's starting to get late now it's had to tell it the hall with no windows nearby but I can see the rich amber light of the setting sun seep out underneath the doors.
I finally realise I'm on the right floor when the door opposite me opens to reveal Yang standing there with a basket full of clothes. "YOU!" she yells as she spots me "you better be here to apologies" oh, is that her room! All the places it could be and it's there! She really doesn't look happy to see me, I guess it because of how I helped Ruby in that bet. She taps her foot putting one hand on her hip and holding the basket underneath the other her purple eyes fix on me, "oh well I was just leaving after talking to Pyrrha-" before I could finish she grabs me by the collar and start walking down the hall, dragging me behind her. "Yang what are you doing?" say trying to escape her grip (its no use) "your the reason that I have to do the laundry so you can help me!" I don't think there's any bargaining with her as she drags me into the nearest elevator. "ground floor!" she says sill as angry as when she first saw me outside her door, I press the button and watch as the doors close, locking me in a small space with Yang.
The elevator starts to descend as Yang releases me "so tell me about yourself" Yang says looking at the closed doors, thank Monty she calmed down "well there not much to say I'm afraid" Yang then turns to me, Her eyes now a rich red (ok maybe she's not so calm). "well where to start, I grew up in a small house outside the city, it was only me and my mom but she wasn't around much so it was mainly just me" I say "ha, you'er like me then" she says "me and Rwby grew up on patch" (writers note: I guess thats where it is because of what Qrow says in one of the world of remnent videos. correct me if im wrong [update: never mind Yang says it herself Se2 ep6]) the elevator doors open, we both walk out going down were I assume the laundry room is. Yang carries her basket which is about half the size of me down "so how do you have so much laundry to do anyway?" I ask realizing that we have only been here like two, three days "it's mainly Ruby's stuff, she only knows she was coming here a few days beforehand, then she left it until the last second to pack. So being Ruby she through in whatever she could find" eventually we come to the laundry room. A large room filled with rows of matches like washing machines, tumble driers, ironing stations. basically everything my mam couldn't afford when I was at home, not that we were poor or anything. my mom just spent a lot of what she earned on getting better equipment for me.
Yang goes to a free washing machine and starts to separate the red and black form, the red and black plus some bits of yellow and I think some school clothes but not much else. she then puts them into washing machines and adds some washing powder, probably some off brand Nevermore Staines (obviously the best one) then turns them on sit on top of one and waits. "why did you need my help again?" I say still waiting for instruction or the right moment to run away, "I needed you to talk to, doing this by my self is a nightmare," "so you don't need me?" I say looking around the room for someone for Yang to talk to, sadly I'm out of luck as the only other person in the room, a fanunus with bunny eyes leaves. "I also wanted to know you more," Yang says still sitting on top of the watching machine filled with reading and now a pink sock. walk to the machines opposite her and lean on them, "well what else do you want to know?" I ask "so how does your arua work anyway," she says getting off the watching machine and slowly walking toward me "I mean me got the brief talk by Oz but not much else," she says as she reaches the machine next to me and leans on it in a similar fashion to me. "right now I know about as much as you know" reply "it unstable and it can connect with other peoples aura" I say making air quotes when I say connect. "right" Yang says as her washing machines go off, there so much faster than doing it by hand. Yang gets get the clothes and moves them into a tumble drier "so do you have any laundry to do you know, while your here" Yang says as she closes the door and puts it on, somethings up with her "em, no unless I go back up to my room" she walks back over to me "you could always wash you your jumper and maybe your shirt" NOPE "I don't mind" Yang says leaning in closer. *WAIM!* a pillow hits Yang square in the face, seemingly from out of nowhere "YANG! we went over this!" I turn to see Ruby at the door to the, where did she get that pillow form? "Ruby! I wasn't doing anything, he was just here to help me do the-" *WAIM!* another pillow hit Yang in the face "RUBY! I swear if you through one more pillow I will-" yet another pillow goes for Yang but she catches it in front of her face and slowly brings it down to reveal her red eyes "PILLOW FIGHT!!!" Yang yells throwing it back at Ruby as Ruby launches two more Yangs direction.
Finally after a while, the fight ceases and the two get their stuff and leave. I only come out from under one of the ironing stations about a half an hour after they both leave. Well, I guess I know what Yang was talking to Ruby about the other night.
As make my way back I notice that its quite late, the sun is completely set and only the fragmented moon remains in the sky as I make my way back to the elevator. The place is silent as I call the elevator apart from a few distant voices of people returning to there rooms. The elevator arrives its dim light the only one still left on, even the ride up in the lift is silent and devoid of any cheery but repetitive music like I use to see on TV the doors open again and I walk down the hall and around the corner to pass team RWBY and JNPR rooms to get to my own, when I spot Weiss standing outside her door. "Goodnight Weiss," I say as I walk past here, keeping my voice down as not to wake anyone. "Goodnight Y/N... Oh Y/N" i turn to look at Wiess who is also trying to be quiet "what do you do when you, you " she stops to think for a moment "want to make a neutral agreement not to annoy one" huh I think she about to apologise to Ruby for yelling at her "well, what I used to do to make it up to my mom for doing something, I just made her a cup of coffee or tea whatever was appropriate" Weiss looked back to her "coffee, at this hour?" "well I did say or tea" I reply "it sounds like something my butler would do," she says crossing her arms "well thank you for your.. help," she says turning back to me "Goodnight Weiss," I say making my way down the hall "Goodnight Y/N, tomorrows our day off and we will need to you to be up early " oh yeah my surprise, I'm really dreading that.
I get to my room and open the door the room is completely dark apart from the slight moonlight coming in through the windows. I do the usual thing anyone does, before getting into bed. I think this is the first time I went to sleep rather than just waking up again after being knocked out in a long time. feels, strange.
