Shelter from the dark - Renora Fanfiction (RWBY)

The Third Night

Nora groaned as she walked out of the bathroom, wearing a white shirt she stole from my luggage and her usual thunder god booty shorts, rubbing her hair dry with her soft pink towel, "I didn't think the classes would be so boring." She whined to me as she plopped down beside me on my bed. I looked up from the book I was reading, a thick book about the creation of the world I stumbled across in the academy's library. "You seemed to enjoy Ms. Glynda's class quite a lot." I smiled down at the disgruntled redhead beside me. "Well yeah she had the only fun class here. Everyone else has us writing and reading." She whined even more, "I wanna learn to beat stuff up more. Not write essays." She flipped over onto her stomach, slowly sliding off the bed and onto the floor before me, curing up at my feet like a hopeless kitten. "Well, Nora, its only been one day. And I'm sure your day has been much better than the leader of team RWBY." I muttered the last sentence, remembering how the ice cold heiress had been so rude to the poor young warrior. Ruby seemed so down all day because of the outburst of the cold hearted Schnee. Nora looked up at me in thought, "I guess you're right. White, or whatever her name was was pretty rude to red riding hood." She muttered back to me as she got off the floor and started to walk over to her own bed to get it ready for sleeping. It had been left in a huge mess since we had to all leave our dorm in such a hurry this morning, we didn't notice what time it was before we hear RWBY screaming about being late for class. "Weiss and Ruby. That's their names." I chuckled at the fact Nora forgot the names of our new friends so fast. Getting up to help Nora fix her bed, knowing that within the next minute Nora would have asked me to assist her anyways.
Once we finished making her bed and choosing which side of her bed we'd sleep on, she began to dance around in a circle, no music was playing but she still swayed around the bed, rocking her hips and flinging her arms around herself as she danced to whatever music was playing in the little thunder cloud's head. I noticed she was about to knock a lamp over so I reached out and pulled her back into my arms quickly, her back against my chest. Nora let out a little gasp of surprise as I held her to me tightly, "Careful, pancake." I whispered to her, "you almost broke the lamp."
I felt her nod slowly, her heartbeat speeding up as I held her from behind. I smiled and let her go slowly before scooping her up bridal style and began to ballroom dance with her in my arms. She giggled as I danced with her against my chest, slowing my breathing to control my heartbeat, Nora was my bestfriend and I couldn't do anything to jeopardize our life long friendship. I wanted nothing more then to kiss Nora's soft, shiny pink lips. Her laugh was so inviting, her smile was intoxicating. The very thought of Nora was nothing short of angelically beautiful in my mind. But I kept my wants at bay to insure the life long joy of my companion. She was the only family I have now.
After a few minutes of dancing around the room, Nora's smile slowly faded, she looked up at me and she looked as if she was about to ask me something before the dorm room door swung open, revealing an out of breath, fluffy haired blond, and a calm and refreshed looking Redhead. "We we're out on a run through the court yard. Sorry we're late." Pyrrha bowed slightly, looking as if she hadn't even been running, while Jayne on the other hand looked like he had been in a marathon. Pyrrha blushed slightly as she looked at us, I slowly began to put Nora down carefully. "It's not what you think- we were just-" Nora was squeaking out as her face flushed a dark pink. Jaune looked confused but forced out a smile, "Nothing to worry about. No judgement here." He shrugged. Nora squeaked louder, "w-we're not together-together. Just dancing because we're getting ready for the dance in a few months." The thunder child muttered. Pyrrha smirked at Nora as if to say "we're having a chat later." And walked over to her bed, lifting her suitcase onto her silken bedsheets. Jaune followed her and started talking to her about possible strategies for their next run. Nora looked up at me again, opened her mouth as if she was going to say something, but then turned and fled to her own respected bed. I sighed and walked slowly to my bed, grabbing my matching pink towel that came in the same pack as Nora's so she forced me to use it, not that she really had to force me, and headed to the bathroom, "anyone need to use he bathroom before I shower?" I called back to them, no one said anything so I calmly walked into the room.
After my short cold shower, I dressed myself in a deep green pair of pyjama pants, I was going to put the matching shirt on but I decided because of the warmth that I'd sleep without it tonight. I walked out of the bathroom to see only one light on, the lamp beside Nora's bed, she looked at me sleepily in the dim light, her eyes sparkling at me from across the room, I smiled softly and walked over to her bed, she moved over to her chosen side of the bed, lifting the blankets for me to join her. I slid into the blankets beside her and pulled her to my chest, feeling her nuzzling her face into my neck, warm puffs of air tickling my neck. After a few minutes I felt a small leg wrap around my torso, Nora's arms slowly intertwining around my neck, her face only inches from mine as she slept calmly beside me. My heart beat out of my chest as her sleeping body grew closer to mine, it took all my strength to turn my back to the sleeping princess, I let out a small chuckle as I slowly drifted off to sleep, my heart still beating fast. "Goodnight my thunder god."

The clock on the wall hit midnight, causing me to awaken once again. I heard a small sniff behind me, Nora's small body was shaking. "Nora..?" I yawned as I flipped myself to see the little queen, seeing her eyes sparkling with tears, her bottom lip quivering, "I had a nightmare.." she choked out, pulling herself tightly against me. I held her as close to me as I could without crushing her. "It's going to be okay, Nora. It was just a dream. I'm here." I whispered Sweetly into her ear, calming her shaking. Even after she stopped crying and rubbed the tears from her eyes, she kept sniffling, resting her head between my chest and my chin, "I'm sorry if I woke you, Renny." My muscles tensed as I felt her soft lips press against my collar bone quickly, "thank you for comforting me like always." She mumbled against my chest. I know her actions were meant as a way of thanks, something she had done since our childhood, but the feeling of her lips against me made my face flush. I thanked the Gods that it was pitch black in the dorm so no one could see his reaction to her simple gesture. "You're always welcome, Nora.. now close your eyes and get back to bed. Lots of classes and essays tomorrow." I teased her. Feeling her groan as she thought of doing homework in the coming day, "goodnight Ren." She yawned as she reached her hand up and poked my nose like she did every day, "Boop..~"
