Weiss was trying her best to study.

She really, truly, with the best of intentions, was trying to study as hard as she possibly could.

However, no amount of effort was going to break through the heavy sound of footsteps pacing inside the dorm room, as Yang kept going from her bed to the door and back, in some kind of never-ending loop.

At first, Weiss had figured that something like this might happen; Yang could be a little bit overprotective of Ruby at times, and worrying about how the date was going, therefore, seemed only natural. However, Weiss had a fair amount of certainty it had more to do with the fact that Yang probably wanted to take pictures of them on the date – at least if her attempts to do so before they left were any indication of it.

So naturally, Weiss had expected this restlessness to stop after a good twenty or thirty minutes, but…

…Yang had been doing this for hours now.

There was a limit to how much Weiss could focus with that sound. "Could you stop pacing?" Weiss finally asked, her tone showing that she was, perhaps, slightly irked. "It's really distracting."

"Huh? Oh. Sorry." Yang mumbled absentmindedly before sitting down on a bed. For a brief few minutes, silence reigned supreme, as Weiss started to make progress on note taking…

Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap.

Yang's foot was tapping against the ground, as she fidgeted with her hair, once more breaking whatever concentration Weiss had. It was becoming increasingly clear that she wasn't going to get anything productive done today.

Letting out a barely concealed, irritated sigh, Weiss closed her notebook and pushed away the textbook before turning to her clearly distressed friend, and took a deep breath. "So, Yang, what's on your mind?"

Yang's lilac eyes gave her a look that bordered on 'are you kidding me?' and slight panic. "Ruby and Blake's date."

"They'll probably tell you all the details afterwards, if you are worried on missing out…" The massive blond mane shook. "Something else, perhaps?"

"What happens if something goes wrong?" The fear in Yang's voice was almost uncharacteristic of her, something that Weiss had seldom heard. "I mean, if something does go wrong, our team is going to be a mess…"

Weiss' eyes narrowed. I thought she'd be more worried about missing out on seeing her sister's first date… not how it actually goes. "You're worried about nothing."

Yang looked up, lilac eyes clearly not trusting Weiss. "You say that… but this is Ruby and Blake we're talking about. Something could go wrong, and their date could be ruined, and-"

"You're precisely right, this is Ruby and Blake; those two have been enamored with each other for months now. It'll be fine."

"…but what if we made a mistake?" Yang focused on the piles of books holding up one of the bunk beds. "I mean, we kinda pushed them into this; maybe Ruby wasn't ready for dating, or Blake really wasn't even all that interested besides friendship."

"Really?" Weiss' tone was thick with disbelief. "We're talking about the same two girls who spent more time together than with their own partners, or who keep falling asleep in the same bed, unless there are another Ruby and Blake that you are talking about?"

"But… but…" Weiss' words were having little effect on the blonde, as she kept sputtering out scenarios, "but what if their date goes bad, like someone spills a drink, or says something rude or-"

"Yang, stop worrying." Weiss' voice rose a good few decibels. "You are being more than a bit of a worry wort. So what if something goes wrong? They have other dates, it's not like they don't know each other already."

Yang raised a finger in protest before it limply sank back down, whatever she was going to say dying in her throat. "…I guess so…"

"Good." Weiss nodded in approval. "Now then, we have a test tomorrow, that we both should be studying for."

"Weiss, its Port," Yang deadpanned, some of her normal mood returning. "If you can't remember the answer, you can just make something up, and he'll pass you anyways."

"But if you study, you don't have to make anything up. Wait… is that how you've been passing all of his tests?" Accusation filled Weiss' voice. "Is that why you keep making fun of me studying for it?!"

Yang merely shrugged with a shit-eating grin pulling at the corners of her lips. "Pretty much, yeah."

"Why yo-"

"We're back!"

Weiss' body froze for a moment, before turning towards the door, Yang mirroring her.

Standing there, none the worse for wear were Blake and Ruby. Both looked pleasantly content, and nothing seemed amiss. This time, it was Weiss' turn to turn towards Yang with a smug grin. I told you it was going to be fine.

Yet, that didn't stop Yang from jumping out of her seat and rushing them, "So, how was the date?! Tell me all about it, and don't leave anything out!"

"Well…"

AU: To be continued…

[insert JoJo's Bizarre Adventures' music here]

The first date for ladybug will actually be next chapter, I promise this time.

I decided to move this chapter's release up to before Wrath today.

Quick question for everyone, but is it just me, or has there been a decrease in the fandom? I've noticed overall views/reviews going down, as well as followers/favourites rate has decreased sustainably, so I'm curious. Last August and September, the same thing happened too…

I swear, half the reason I write is so I can collect data and make meaningless analyses on what I get.

Anywho, for those who I won't see in the next update of the day, thank you for reading, and I hope you have a wonderful day! :D
