Weiss smiled as she woke up, leaning lazily into the warmth next to her. The silken sheets of their custom-made bed felt heavenly against her skin, and the soft snores of Blake and Ruby beside her still made her heart flutter, even after all these years. She turned slightly to smell Ruby's hair and in the same motion pressed her bare body back into Blake's.

"Mmmm…." she moaned lazily at the familiar smell of roses and sugar. Ruby shivered, as if cold, and snuggled back cutely against Weiss, who only smiled and wrapped her arms around the smaller girl.

"Mmm…" Ruby groaned,

"Weissssss." She mumbled, still half-asleep. Weiss stroked her hair gently, urging her back to sleep. She was cuter that way.

Blake blinked her eyes open slowly, silently. She saw the familiar scene of Weiss and Ruby snuggling together. A part of her felt left out, but she understood. It happened every day that it was Yang's turn to cook breakfast. Ruby got cold without the fiery blonde around to keep her warm, and so, ironically, their Snowy Princess had to step in and keep her warm.

Besides, Blake thought with a smirk, They're so cute like that. Mmm…. I wonder if I have time to…

She reigned her carnal urges in. They had a mission today. No time to play, though Ruby and Weiss were very tempting. Especially now that they'd grown up a little.

Sure, they were cute and sexy way back when– Blake's pillow from the dorm knew that better than anyone. It had been called every one of their names in whispered, hot breaths in the dead of night as Blake relieved her frustrations with it– but they were older now. Now they were cute and…

More sexy?

Blake wondered. She tried to puzzle out exactly what made them more enticing now that they'd grown up as she slipped out of bed. She was silent and stealthy enough to not be detected by trained huntresses, even as they were lazily lying right next to her. Sometimes Blake wondered if they were just humoring her. She was the team's stealth specialist, sure, but was she really that good?

More to ponder while she slunk into the kitchen, wondering if maybe Yang would have time to play.

Yang was humming contentedly. On the upside, she was making a big hearty breakfast for herself and her girls. Chocolate-chip pancakes for Ruby, french toast for Weiss, grilled trout and toast for Blake, and a nice hearty breakfast burrito stuffed with cheese, eggs, peppers, and onions for herself.

The downside, of course, was that she'd been up since 6:40 AM.

Yang was not a morning person. She needed her beauty sleep, and she was annoyed she wasn't getting it, but…

… The look on their faces when they eat what I make them… Worth it~

"Hi Yang~." A sly cat murmured in Yang's ear at the same time that two lithe, pale arms wrapped around her midsection. Blake nibbled at Yang's ear. Yang grinned. Frisky little kitty.

"Morning, Blakey!" She said, deciding to tease her. She didn't react at all to Blake's advances, wondering what she'd do about it. Yang was hoping she'd decide to escalate.

Blake purred in her ear and rubbed up against her back,

"Is it? I don't know yet… I haven't gotten any of my morning kisses….~" She said suggestively.

Yang rolled her eyes. Mushy and frisky? She didn't know whether to feel flattered and lucky or just plain nauseous.

"Mmm. And what, putting all the blame on me, Kitty? That's hardly fair, huh? You were just next to Weissy and Ruby, weren't you? Why didn't they kiss you?" She teased.

Blake let out a little whine.

"Yanggggggggg." She said, giving up any attempt at seduction and now just pouting. Yang laughed. Blake had gotten so spoiled in the last few years… not that she minded so much. She turned around and gave her a passionate, but quick, kiss good morning. Blake of course tried to escalate, but Yang pushed her gently away,

"There you go, now shoo, ok? I gotta make sure I don't burn our breakfast." She chided. Blake smiled, pleased with herself, and she swayed over to her normal seat at the table to wait

Ruby was trying hard to convince Weiss she was still sleeping. She kept her breathing even, her eyes shut, her body still. It was hard for someone that had so much energy pent up all the time, but worth it in this case. These lazy mornings where Weiss held her were the gentlest, sweetest moments with Weiss that Ruby ever got. Weiss had opened up a lot over the years, becoming comfortable with all her girlfriends, but still, she had grown up with reasons to push people away, and a lifetime to reinforce the habit.

Which is why Ruby so treasured these moments. When Weiss was half-asleep, and thought she was alone save a sleeping Ruby, she was always her most affectionate.

But of course, all things must end at some point. Ruby had to shift. She tried to make it slight, but...

"Mmm… I know you're awake, Ruby.~" Weiss said fondly, and already she had pulled away a little. Ruby sighed, though it was a content sigh. She wouldn't be greedy for something Weiss wasn't ready to give. She was just grateful for the time Weiss did give her like that.

"No I'm not. Who told you that~?" Ruby teased back, trying to cuddle back into her.

Weiss just let out an amused "Hmph" and rolled out of bed. Ruby sighed contentedly again. It was worth a shot.

"We need to get ready anyway, Ruby." Weiss chided gently. "We have a mission today. We don't have time to lay about. Yang is almost done with breakfast."

Ruby looked over to the clock, but… strangely she couldn't read it. She shrugged. It didn't bother her much.

"Yeah, ok." She mumbled, walking over to Weiss and taking her hand. Weiss did that cute little blush she did whenever anyone touched her like that, but didn't pull away, and together they walked to their kitchen.

"Morning Ruby, Weissy~!" Yang called as she heard them enter.

"Morningggg~." Blake purred, turning slightly and smiling at them with that love-lust mixture that seemed to never really go away, no matter how much they indulged her. Not that any of them really minded.

Suddenly, right as Ruby was about to return the greeting, the ground shook.

"W-what was that?" Blake asked.

Ruby was about to answer that she didn't know, when the constant rumbling started to get worse. The whole house shook and Yang dived over to catch Ruby and Weiss when they bumped into each other. Blake, eyes wide with fear, dove down with them, pinning Weiss down and covering the smaller girl with her body as Yang did the same to Ruby.

Ruby whimpered as the earthquake got even worse. What could she do though? She racked her mind, trying to think of someway to save them, somewhere to run, but her thoughts were so strangely slow. To Ruby's surprise, Yang smiled down at her and brushed some hair out of her face.

"Hey." Yang said softly, "Don't worry. Don't be scared. I'm right here, Sis." She cupped her cheek tenderly.

Ruby looked up into her eyes and felt calm.

"I'm not afraid." She said solemnly, and leaned up to kiss Yang.

And then they woke up.

Hello again. A short chapter this time, and yes it's a dream, but it's not really allll fluff. And it's cute. We're gonna need that for what comes next, I think.

Also, sorry for the longer wait this time. I won't make any promises, because I'm really bad at doing anything on time, and also at just sitting down and writing, but the next chapter shouldn't take tooooo long.
