Our young heroines were reduced to their beds, pinned by boredom. Their classes had eased, White Fang activity at an all time low, and Ruby's ideas had fallen flat. All was quiet, Blake reading a book, Weiss was studying, shiny gauntlets were being polish by Yang, and Ruby sighed on her bed.

"We get it, we have nothing to do." Weiss said with a stern look of annoyance, "Even Zwei knows" she pointed to the dark haired corgi fast asleep.

"There has to be something we can do!" The red hooded girl groaned.

Blake blinked, "Maybe you can read a book." The blonde laughed, "Ruby? Read? A book?"

"Hey, I can read if want to!" Ruby whined.

Weiss raised a finger, "How about you and Yang go to the library?"

"But it's more fun with all four of us!"

"I guess I could come" The Faunus nodded.

"Fine" The Ice Queen muttered

Closing her book, Blake's stomach growled like frustrated beowolf, "I might go to the cafeteria first, then I'll meet you there," before she even finished, the sisters had dashed off.

"I'll go with you...I can't study on a empty stomach" Weiss took hold of her books as Blake stood up, coughing slightly.

"Are you ok?"

"It's just a respiratory thing, it'll go away"

The cafeteria was mostly empty, since no food was being served. This also meant the two teammates had to resort to the vending machine. Blake and Weiss stared at the bags of snacks behind the glass.

"Ugh, I hate junk food" Weiss stated

Blake sighed, "Just get something to hold you over until we get something else," she typed in the ID number for a somewhat medium size bag of pretzels, seeing the chips as too greasy.

"I'll just nibble off of yours"

"Thanks for asking" Blake murmured sarcastically as she opened the bag.

The girls walked down the hall towards the library, Blake coughed again before eating a salty pretzel.

"You're sure you're ok?" Asked the Ice Queen

"It's nothi-" Blake had heard a loud noise and looked down, Weiss had tripped, she laughed slightly.

Weiss shot back up with a blush of embarrassment, she never never falls, she had prided herself on her gracefulness.

"Shut up, you dolt" She attempted to stop the giggling Faunus.

The duo was slightly surprised to see the library still in one piece when they arrived. Blake disposed of their empty bag of pretzels and they rendezvoused with the sisters.

To their surprise both girls had found a book, well, the 'books' were more of the comic type.

"Never thought I'd see this" Weiss sat with a smirk.

"Shut up or I'll break your legs" The blonde responded as Blake sat, setting her book on the table.

Blake tilted her head slightly, "Where did you even find a X-Ray and Vav comic in here anyway?"

"Jaune" Ruby replied from behind her 'book'.

Blake's case of the cough resurfaced again, she pounded on her chest slightly, trying to clear something; she felt a grip in her chest.

"You ok, Blake?" Yang raised an eyebrow

"She's been coughing ever since you two left, all she says is, 'Oh, it's nothing'" Weiss mimicked her

Blake growled lightly, "I assure you, I'm fine. Is your nose, ok?" The yellow-eyed girl referenced Weiss' embarrassing moment.

"Oh, shut it" The Ice Queen scolded

Yang put her comic down, "You should just go to the medical ward just in case"

Blake sighed, "Fine"

A yellow-eyed girl walked into the medical ward; Ren was unconscious on one of the beds, most likely from Nora's hijinks. Blake's cough had seemed to simmer down, it was almost gone, also with the tightening in her chest.

"Oh, Hello" A nurse looked down at her scroll, "Blake Belladonna, is it?" The huntress nodded.

"Good, follow me"

Blake followed the member of the medical staff past many beds until she halted at one.

"Hop up on here" The nurse patted the board-like berth.

The Faunus girl lowered herself onto the bed, explaining her symptoms, "I've had this persistent cough and a weird tightening feeling in my chest"

The nurse took mental note of her words, "Ok, is it your lungs, esophagus, or an other thing that is 'tightening'?"

Blake thought for a moment, "It's more of a general constraint, like something is gently crushing me. It also takes the wind out of me, I find it hard to breathe"

The nurse looked at her with a blank face before laughing, Blake crossed her arms in anger. The nurse reconnected eye contact, "You're fine, don't worry about it!;" She pulled the huntress off of the cot and pushed her out of the ward. Blake growled, frustrated at the nurse's frivolousness; she turned on her heel and left the ward.

Blake opened the door to her team's dorm, only to be caught off guard by her teammates.

"What happened?" Weiss asked.

The hooded girl blinked, "Is it anything serious?"

"The nurse said I was fine," Belladonna pushed through her teammates to her bunk, her coughing arising slightly. Her teammates sighed and returned to their beds; Weiss had almost fell again before flopping onto the berth.

Weiss frowned, feeling light headed; she pulled her blanket over herself.

Ruby turned to see the alarm clock, "We should be heading off to sleep," she said with a yawn.

The next day's classes moved with ease, except for Blake's coughing and Weiss' newfound clumsiness. Yang and Ruby had also noticed their lack of concentration.

"We probably shouldn't fight right now" Yang suggested to her sister.

"Huh?"

"I mean, Blake and Weiss have been out of it all day, whatever is up with them should be sorted out before we put ourselves in danger."

Ruby nodded, "I just hope they can sort it out soon"

The bell rang, "Remember! If you don't learn from history! You will repeat it!" Dr. Oobleck took a sip of his coffee as his students left.

Weiss rubbed her head, "I think I'm going to head to the medical ward."

"I'll come with you," Blake said, still wanting to know what was wrong with herself, and to not get laughed at in the process.

The Ice Queen was too far out of her head to ask why.

The sisters looked at each other as the two walked away, "Hope it's nothing bad!" Ruby said as they as walked off.

Walking down an empty hallway, the two teammates were silent, besides Blake's cough. Blake turned to face the Ice Queen, stopping the girl in her tracks. The Faunus placed the back of her hand on Weiss' forehead; the Schnee blinked.

"What are you doing?" She asked.

"I'm checking if you have a fever"

"Let the nurse do it." The blue-eyed girl started to walk again, but her clumsiness doomed her to trip. Weiss had fallen onto Blake, who had froze with wide eyes.

"S-Sorry," Weiss' hair hovered above the other girl. Both girls felt their symptoms melt away, though neither seemed to have the ability to move. It was as if time had stopped for a moment.

"Weiss...c-could you get up?"

"Y-Yeah..." Neither moved.

Blake's eyes widened even more in shock; Weiss' lips had locked onto hers!

When time caught up with the girls, they jumped off each other.

Their screams echoed Beacon; Yang and Ruby perked up and ran to the scene...

AN: And that's it, next chapter will come out whenever! So, stay tuned!

Love
