"Do you think we're weird?"

Pyrrha looked down at her girlfriend, a feat that was made difficult by how close the two were cuddled together in the elder one's bed. "I… don't think so?"

"Oh. Okay." Silver eyes broke eye contact as Ruby nestled against the crook of Pyrrha's neck.

Seconds passed as the reasoning behind the question started to eat at Pyrrha as she couldn't figure out what would even prompt such a concern – did I do something? No, everything was ordinary and they'd been cuddled in a pile of blankets for the better part of an hour… "Why do you ask, Ruby?"

The smaller girl shifted slightly. "Spooning," Ruby mumbled after a moment.

"Spooning?" Pyrrha parroted back, confusion clear in her voice. "That's not something weird, other couples do that too."

"Yeah, well… um, they don't make games of it," Ruby said with a sigh. "For everyone else, it just sorta happens…"

Pyrrha thought for a moment, is it really that abnormal? Sure, no other couple – not that Pyrrha knew all that many – had to play a game to figure out who was the big spoon every night, but this felt… sudden. "Do you want to stop? Playing games, that is."

Red-streaked hair tickled Pyrrha's chin as Ruby shook her head. "I have fun whenever we play, even if you cheat sometimes."

"It's not cheating if there are no rules against kisses," Pyrrha gently reminded her girlfriend, who rolled her eyes in return. "Is there a reason it's bothering?"

Ruby shrugged, leaving Pyrrha in want of an answer. "Not really? I guess?"

Yet, Pyrrha didn't press her girlfriend for any further reason, instead basking in her warmth – her hair lightly touching her face. That was something that Pyrrha had learned about Ruby; if she is going to tell you, she'll do it when she feels like she needs to talk about it. Forcing the issue would just makes her uncomfortable. Which was something that Pyrrha most assuredly did not want.

"…Weiss sorta-kinda-maybe mentioned that if we keep her up with another 'weird' game that she's going to steal Zwei and take him to Atlas…" Ruby half-heartedly murmured.

"Doesn't Zwei actually belong to your dad?" Pyrrha pointed out. "Plus, I don't think he'd make it through border control."

"I don't know, I'm pretty sure Weiss would figure out a way. She always does."

Pyrrha shrugged. "Do you think our games are weird?"

"I dunno… I guess?"

"We could always figure out another way to do it."

"Like how?" Curious silver eyes stared up at her.

"Hmm… we could alternate every night?" Pyrrha suggested after a moment. "That way it's even and there is no fuss?"

"I guess but that sounds boring." Ruby pouted, eliciting a giggle from Pyrrha.

"Then what would you suggest?"

"Um… whoever… um… eats the most cookies gets to be the big spoon!" There was a hopeful tone to Ruby's voice.

"I'd rather not have it be something that's quite so… unhealthy," Pyrrha gently admonished. "What about we fight for it?"

"Like sparring?"

"Possibly."

"Nah, you'd just pull Crescent Rose away with your magneto powers and kick my butt in like an instant."

Now it was Pyrrha's turn to pout under the untrue – but slightly accurate – accusations. "…I wouldn't need to do that to win… but you make a good point… we could do it without weapons?"

"That's worse!"

"How is it worse?"

"Pyrrha, your biceps are the size of my head," Ruby deadpanned.

"Oh. Right."

"Whoever runs the fastest mile?"

"Ruby…"

"Uhh…" Ruby had clearly ran out of ideas. "Rock paper scissors?"

"We did that last night."

"Oh."

"…"

"…"

"…we could just not change it…"

Ruby, however, didn't accept that answer, shaking her head in a resounding 'no'. "…we could do whoever wants to be the big spoon for the night?"

"Hmm… I suppose so?" The moment Pyrrha agreed, Ruby started to try and wiggle out of her embrace.

"I want to be the big spoon now." Yet Pyrrha's arms didn't budge; Ruby struggled in vain for several minutes before letting out an exasperated sigh. "Pyrrhaaa!"

"But I want to be the big spoon too..." That was the flaw in the plan – doesn't work out so well when we both want to be the big spoon.

"…maybe, you are right." Ruby conceded after a few minutes of silent contemplation. "Maybe we could just not change it?"

Pyrrha hummed in agreement. "I'm fine with what you decide, Ruby. Just as long as you are comfortable." Which earned a rather lovely smile from her girlfriend. "Though… I think Weiss might have taken issue with what game we we're playing last night and less with the concept."

Ruby's brow furrowed in confusion as she looked towards the game which Nora had recommended to them.

"…what's wrong with a five foot Jenga tower?"

AU: Turns out that a five foot tall Jenga tower falling over in the middle of the night is considered 'weird' by Weiss. No idea why.

To be honest, I was hoping for this chapter to turn out a bit more serious than the end product... oh well. It's cute at least.

Interestingly enough, the first hundred words had been sitting in my folder labelled "chapter 59" for several months – possibly more than half a year – and I am just getting around to finishing it and putting it up as chapter 60.

In other news, Acceptance is moving along. I should have a first draft done by next weekend and still be able to post in early December!

…I don't have much else to say today/this week, I suppose? I've been playing 'I am bread' and everything in that game is evil. Or at least the controls are. Yeah.

Thank you for reading, I hope everyone has a wonderful day! :D
