Blake finished up brushing her hair out for the night and placed her hairbrush on the top of her dresser. It was fairly late, Weiss already having turned in, but her Faunus eyes easily made out the details of the darkened bedroom.

Including one small but cute brunette who was still sprawled out in the middle of the floor.

Pyrrha had just left a short while ago after they'd finished up watching a movie. Weiss had joined them, and though the heiress wasn't one to often display her feelings they could all tell she'd been pleased to have been invited. So as not to make her overly uncomfortable, they'd kept the affection to a minimum, merely cuddling together in their pajamas on Blake's bed while the movie played out on the opposite wall, projected from Ruby's scroll.

And even though Ruby was ready enough for bed, she wasn't making any move to get into it.

Grinning, the Cat Faunus crept over towards Ruby's head, slowly leaning down to capture a sneaky kiss. When her lips sealed over her girlfriend's, it muffled the startled squeal that issued from her mouth, though it devolved into a pleased moan soon enough.

"Mmm," Blake sighed as she leaned back again. "Gotcha, little rose."

Ruby giggled softly. "You can get me anytime you want, kitty cat."

She smiled softly, liking the nickname that Ruby had started using for her. Unlike when Yang teasingly called her 'kitten', when Ruby said those words it filled her with a warmth that was undeniable.

A little thought in the back of her head wondered if Pyrrha might ever call her that, but it was quickly pushed aside.

"You need to get into your bed," she murmured.

The brunette pouted slightly. "I'm tired. Don't feel like climbing."

Blake sighed and shook her head. "You can't spend the night on the floor."

"Wellllll…." Ruby smiled up at her disarmingly, able to find her face in the dim light of the room. "I could maybe… share your bed?"

Blake's mouth got very dry and her heart gave a little stutter. "O- Okay," she stammered. Gaining her equilibrium, she leaned down and gave Ruby another kiss, this one brief. "You just want snuggles," she whispered.

"Yep!" Ruby cheerfully whispered back.

The raven-haired girl helped Ruby to her feet and then over towards her bed, where she pulled the sheets back and climbed in first. Blake laid on her side facing into the room, and Ruby quickly settled in on her side as well, her back flush up against Blake's front.

Blake draped an arm across her girlfriend's waist after pulling the covers back up, while Ruby placed her own arm along Blake's, stroking along it softly.

Okay, play it cool Belladonna, this is just cuddling… in bed… and under the covers… just like you've dreamed of all these months… Just don't start thinking of the other things you dream about… Oh, Dust damn it all…

She was glad that Ruby at the least was facing away from her so that she wouldn't be able to see her blush.

Ruby let out a soft sigh even as she continued to run her hand along Blake's arm. "I wish Pyrrha could be here too…" she breathed almost inaudibly.

In the span of a couple heartbeats, Blake had a few thoughts run through her head. Even a couple of weeks ago, when they were first trying out this relationship of theirs, she might have been tempted to keep Ruby for herself the first time in her bed like this. But, aside from the fact that she kept placing Ruby's needs before her own, she truly did not mind Pyrrha's presence. In fact, she looked forward to the time that the redhead spent with her and Ruby.

We really are a threesome now, she realized. And… I wish she could be here as well.

And with that, her course of action wasn't even in question.

She slipped her arm out from under Ruby's grasp and reached up for her scroll. Squinting one eye shut, she opened it and tapped out a quick message to Pyrrha.

Are you awake?

The affirmative reply came quickly. She tapped another message back, that she and Ruby requested her presence. She advised the redhead that the door was unlocked as Yang had not yet returned, but to be careful not to wake Weiss.

As she leaned forward to place her scroll back on the desk next to the bed, Ruby gave her a few quick kisses across the edge of her jawline. "I love you," the brunette murmured.

Blake settled back and gave her a kiss of her own on her cheek. "I love you too."

Then the door eased open, a tall figure slipping in noiselessly before it closed once more. Blake watched as Pyrrha cautiously edged into the room towards their side, her arms outstretched.

Blake leaned up and took hold of one of the hands, causing Pyrrha to jump slightly. "Duck your head down," she murmured.

Pyrrha nodded and complied, easing her way onto the bed. After some adjustment, she was settled in against Blake's back and along the wall.

"Thank you," the redhead whispered. "Er, for inviting me."

Blake smiled. "It wouldn't have been the same without you," she replied truthfully.

Ruby squirmed around, leaning over Blake so that she could give Pyrrha a long kiss. "Good night, Pyrrha," she murmured. "Love you."

"Good night, little rose. I love you too."

Ruby laid back down, capturing Blake's lips one more time in a wordless kiss before she snuggled back in against her. Pyrrha tentatively laid her arm across both Blake and Ruby's hips, and Blake ran her hand along her arm before returning it back to where it was before around Ruby's middle.

The Faunus girl felt a warm breath against her cheek as Pyrrha snuck in a kiss. "Good night, Blake," she whispered.

The raven-haired girl turned her head, gazing back into the emerald eyes that shone in the dim light. "Good night, Pyrrha," she murmured.

They stared at each other for almost a full minute until they finally gave each other a soft kiss, long and sweet, before breaking apart with a quick though sheepish grin.

Blake settled her head back down, breathing in the scents of Ruby's strawberry conditioner as a slow smile spread across her face.

Now this… I could get used to.

A/N: D'awww… Well, you knew something like this was gonna happen sooner or later.

Alright, so I need your help, intrepid readers! We have nicknames for Ruby (little rose) and Blake (kitty cat, though Bellabooty was a close second), but even though I have wracked my half-baked brain for hours, I cannot come up with anything decent (or at the least compatible to the other two) for Pyrrha's nickname! Got ideas? PM me or leave 'em in a review.

And finally, for those of you requesting lemons, I've just published a companion piece yesterday afternoon on FF called A Thorny Bind. You're welcome, enjoy the fluffy smut.

Pink Cat Glory: Freezerburn? Hmm, we shall see, we shall see… And thanks, glad you're enjoying the different perspectives!

Demonic Angel C: Thanks! Honestly this is such a departure from the norm for my writings, to just ignore even the pretense of a plot… Also I think perhaps Ruby has had a little bit of a hidden devious side which took some to let out, but certainly she's learned much from both sister and father.

GateMasterGreen: Insert suitably appreciative though generic thanks for support here.

Jazzatron: True enough, and the stage has been set…

SamuraiShippo: Lmao, I can only imagine. Keep thinking of that one comic, "Qrow, your daughter is in jail. The blonde one." "Never scare me like that again." And Weiss' crush shall be revealed in due time…

Silverwing07: Yay! If my little slice of crack insanity can bring happy smiles to people's faces then I can consider this whole endeavour to be a success!

guest21: Thanks, and hope you enjoy this one!

Passerby: Hahaha, "a rewrite of the Battle of Beacon, this time with the school drowning in rose petals," oh that's an awesome image in my head...

Stay shiny!
