"Ruby, we need to talk."

It wasn't often that Ruby heard her girlfriend's serious tone. In fact, she could probably count the number of times that Pyrrha had raised her voice on one hand for the entirety that the two knew each other.

So when Ruby turned away from her video game, and saw the deadly serious emerald eyes, she didn't just pause her game – she turned off the console. "S-sure Pyrrha, what's up?"

Pyrrha let out a sigh, looking away from Ruby – and giving her a moment to realize just how empty the team RWBY dorm was; the only other living soul in the room was Zwei napping on Weiss' bed. In that instant, the team leader just realized how truly alone she was… alone with a very, very serious Pyrrha. "I've been thinking about this for a long while… like a very long time, Ruby." Silver eyes frantically studied the tall redhead as she continued. "It's something I can't ignore anymore."

"You're scaring me…" Where is this going? Ruby had not the faintest of ideas – not for a lack of trying as her brain ran through countless scenarios, each one more concerning then the last, Ruby's thoughts ran amok, as Pyrrha let out an almost pained sigh. "Did I do something wrong?"

Long crimson hair swished as Pyrrha solemnly shook her head before stopping. "Perhaps? It's hard to say." For some reason it was getting hard to breathe for Ruby. "It's kept me up late at night thinking about it, agonizing over it."

Pyrrha scooched closer to Ruby, her hands gently clasping around her own, emerald eyes locking on to silver ones. "You need to get a better bed."

"Pyrrhaaaa, we talked about this!"

"I know, I know." Pyrrha shifted uncomfortably. "But I still think that it's rather… dangerous."

"Pyrrha, I've had it, for like, ever." Ruby deadpanned. "It hasn't fallen yet, and it's still holding up pretty good!" She gestured towards the bunk bed which was currently hovering above the snoozing corgi by only a few lengths of rope. "If it wasn't safe, Zwei wouldn't be sleeping under it… or Weiss, really."

"That's precisely it! What if the bed fell on him, or Oum forbid, on Weiss?" Ruby was entirely unconvinced. "I'm fairly certain that Weiss has prepared a glyph in case your bed does fall on her-"

"See, she'd be fine!" Ruby threw her arms up in exasperation at her girlfriend's stubbornness on such a minor thing, I thought we had this conversation already, like a few months ago!

"But you'll still get knocked around, and that could hurt." Pyrrha's lips had affixed into an almost permanent frown. "It makes me worry, a lot at night."

"We have aura, it's not like that would actually hurt all that much…" Ruby mumbled under the unflinching gaze from her girlfriend, cowed slightly by the sweet sentiment.

"All I'm saying is that, maybe now would be a better time to think about getting a proper bunk bed, instead of after it falls on Weiss," Pyrrha gently suggested. "I know everyone will chip in to help, and I will too-"

"Wait one second!" Ruby jumped to her feet and pointed an accusatory finger at Pyrrha. "Did you already talk to everyone about this?!"

Pyrrha's gaze anchored to the floor, as she slouched forward ever so slightly. "I may have talked to your teammates once or twice about it…"

"You went behind my back." Ruby felt genuinely hurt at the lack of trust – something that never happened between them. Something that she thought Pyrrha was better than doing. "I don't ever do that to you. Never. Even when it'd be really, really easy. I trust you."

"I'm sorry! I just worry about something happening, like a rope breaks and you get hurt and it's only been getting more and more unstable… I'm sorry." Pyrrha pitifully hung her head in shame, the normally composed huntress fidgeting with the hem of her skirt, clearly not knowing what else to say or do. It was a sight that Ruby had seldom seen: Pyrrha was helpless.

Seeing the all-star student, the Invincible Girl, the person that Ruby had given her heart to, helplessly flounder because of something that she said finally did what Pyrrha's words couldn't achieve.

Ruby cracked.

"I-I didn't mean to say… um…" Words were not Ruby's friend as she struggled with them.

That helplessness had eroded ever so slightly as Pyrrha looked up, with wide emerald eyes, clearly hanging on to every word that Ruby said. "I didn't mean to say that I didn't think you trust me, uh…"

"I know I shouldn't have gone around you're back, that was wrong of me." Pyrrha guiltily admitted. "I was just hoping that you'd be a bit more… receptive to change if the other were too, I'm really sorry."

"I-I suppose it's a bit unsteady…" Ruby finally conceded. "I guess we could reinforce the supports… would that work?"

"Yeah." Pyrrha nodded quickly, her frown inverting into a smile. "If you're okay with that?"

"Yup."

"Did… did we just have our first fight?" Pyrrha hesitantly asked after a few moments.

"Maybe?" Ruby scratched her head in thought. "Is that what it was?" Pyrrha shrugged. "Can we never do that again?"

Instead of answering immediately, Pyrrha scooped Ruby up into a tight hug and a deep kiss.

"Never again it is." Ruby could feel Pyrrha nod in the embrace. "I love you."

"I love you more," Pyrrha murmured after a moment, muffled by Ruby's neck.

"Nu-uh, I love you even more!" Ruby insisted without missing a beat.

"Didn't we just agree we weren't going to fight again?"

"There!"

Ruby, Pyrrha and Zwei surveyed the combined handiwork of the two girlfriends with a mixture of pride and tiredness.

Not only had the two of them taken Ruby's bed off its current supports to replace the heavily used rope with a new one, but they had made wall mounts for the bed to further anchor it in place.

"Phew, now do you feel less worried?" The shake that Pyrrha gave Ruby only led to confusion which was only furthered when Pyrrha clambered up onto it. "What are you doing up the-eep!" Ruby was cut off as Pyrrha pulled her up to the lofted bed.

"We still need to test it~" Pyrrha had an almost sickening grin on her lips as she gently pushed Ruby down, straddling the smaller woman. "Once we test it, I'll be happy."

"Wait, did you only bring this up so we could make out on it?" The lack of denial was most damning. "Pyrrhaaaa-ahh~" The kisses traveling up Ruby's neck quickly silenced her protests, as Pyrrha pinned her hands to the sheets. "N-not that I-I'm complaining or anything-"

Unfortunately for involved, that was the exact moment that the new supports decided to give out. Ruby's bed came crashing down, pulling the two startled redheads with it.

"…so how much did you say you would be willing to help me out with buying a new bed…?"

AU: So I was trying to figure out where or not to break before the final scene, and end the chapter there or add more. Originally the last scene was added as an omake before I made it part of the chapter proper.

I'm very much on the fence about that, which is something I want to quickly talk about.

Basically, I'm worried if it was a bit formulaic, because the moment that things started to happen, you, the read KNEW where it was going to go, right? Namely, that they would get interrupted the moment intimate things began… Is that a bad thing or a good thing? Do you guys and gals dislike or like that?

I'd really, REALLY like to know, if that's okay?

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