Yang and Weiss followed in the wake of the three girls ahead of them who'd been seemingly joined at the hip for the past few weeks. Ruby was, as usual, skipping along excitedly, hanging onto the hands of Blake and Pyrrha to either side of her.

"So it would seem their Valentine's Day activities went well?" the heiress murmured subtly, aware of her Faunus roommate's exceptional hearing.

"Seems that way," Yang answered nonchalantly, as usual making little effort to keep her voice down appreciatively. "Leastways, Rubes has been bouncin' off the walls all weekend."

"Have you even seen her over the weekend? The three of them have been rather… scarce."

"Only at meals and bedtime. I 'spect same for you?"

"Mmhmm," Weiss replied quietly. "I think the three of them even did a study session together yesterday."

Yang let out an amused snort. "Yeah, that's likely Blake and Pyrrha's influence. At least we know her grades won't slack off any."

They strolled for a few moments more before Weiss spoke up again. "How are you feeling about all of this?"

Yang turned halfway to face her, hand raised to her ample bosom in feigned shock. "Why, Princess, are you showin' care for my well-being?"

"Oh, hush, you big oaf," she grumbled back irritably. "I just… Does it bother you, your sister spending all of her time with the other two now?"

"Nah," Yang shrugged unconcernedly and with an easy grin. "For starters, I trust my partner, I know she's only gonna have her best interests at heart. I think I can trust Pyrrha with that too, y'know?"

Weiss nodded slowly. "Yes, I suppose I can see that…"

"And, really Weissy, have you even seen the three of them together? Have you ever seen any of them be that happy by themselves, before they started dating?"

The white-haired girl glanced askance at the taller blonde. "You keep this up, and I'll start to believe there's actually a functioning brain in that bimbo head of yours."

"Ohhh, nice burn there, Princess! Gimme an ice shot, heal my wound for me…"

"Oh, do shut up."

They'd gotten close to their destination by this point where Team RWBY had a shared class, though Pyrrha was in the next classroom over with her own team. Yang paused within sight of the door and turned to Weiss, an unusually solemn look on her face.

"What about you? Not feelin' left out, are ya, with your partner bein' gone so much?"

Weiss frowned but gave the notion serious contemplation. "I… don't believe so, no. I would like to spend more time with her, but I understand she has other priorities now."

"Weiss."

The heiress looked up into lilac eyes that were boring into hers, full of warm compassion.

"I know my sister," the blonde stated gently. "If you wanna spend time with her, let her know. She'll make the time. But she's not gonna think anything's wrong if you don't speak up."

She offered Yang a small smile. "Very well. I will do so." She held her fist up to her mouth and cleared her throat gently. "Er… thank you."

"Anytime, Princess."

They turned to resume walking towards their classroom where Ruby was standing up on her tiptoes, giving Pyrrha a warm kiss goodbye.

"Now that's an odd thing to see," Yang mused. "Suppose it was bound to happen eventually, huh?"

"Well, yes," Weiss replied. "It would seem that-"

The two of them froze in their tracks as Pyrrha, having finished kissing Ruby, now faced Blake. The Cat Faunus, only a few inches shorter than the redhead, shyly leaned up and gave her a quick peck on the lips as well, the both of them blushing furiously. Then a giggling Ruby pulled Blake into the classroom while Pyrrha headed off.

"C'mon, you guys!" the brunette called out over her shoulder to her other two teammates. "You're gonna miss the bell!"

Yang turned towards Weiss, a dumbfounded look on her face. "Since when has that been a thing?"

"You're asking me?" Weiss huffed. "I can't keep up with the three of them at all anymore."

They continued to walk in together, sitting down next to Blake and Ruby well before the professor had set up for his lecture.

"So, Weissy," Yang murmured under her breath. "You gotten the nerve up yet to ask out that certain someone?"

Weiss rolled her eyes irritably. "I don't know why I even told you about that. But, to answer your question… no. Not yet. And before you ask again, no I will not tell you who it is."

"Hmm." Yang leaned back with her hands behind her head. "You want any help or advice?"

"From you? No."

The blonde chuckled ruefully. "Actually, I was gonna recommend my sister over me. I think I've been surpassed."

Weiss lifted a hand to her mouth to stifle a giggle, which made Yang grin widely.

"Seriously!" she continued. "The student has become the teacher!"

The heiress sighed thoughtfully. "What has this world come to?"

"You got me, Princess," Yang replied with a shake of her head, sitting upright as the professor entered the classroom. "You got me."

A/N: Itty-bitty little update. Just thought it'd be fun to check in with the other members of Ruby's team and see what they're thinking of the whole thing. And yes, there was a small hint there of a side thing with Weiss. It'll come out eventually. No, it doesn't count as a plot. This is a plot-free zone, I tell you!

RedWing36: Glad you liked Nora!

THB4: Yeah the pancakes were overdosed with chocolate chips. Perfect for Ruby and Nora but a little on the sugary side for mere mortals… Thanks for the summer break ideas, I do jot things down to see if they'll be included later.

Vipermagi: I think the diabetes would almost be worth it, both for the pancakes and the girls.

Jazzatron: Welcome to the crack ship! Hope you enjoy the ride!

ShadowedPolygons: Pussy Magnet has evolved! I can imagine Ruby jumping into their makeout session, screaming "THIS ISN'T EVEN MY FINAL FORM!" and the other two are just like "Wat".

Growlscout: Indeed. Everything's better when you add sloth assassins into the mix.

Stay shiny!
