Sleep
Nora: Hey Jaune? Could you give me and Ren the room for the night?
Jaune: Yeah sure. I'll just room with Ruby for the night.
Nora: *glomps him* Thanks Jaune-Jaune! You're the best!
After getting Nora off of him, Jaune walks to Ruby's room.
Jaune: *knock knock knock*
Ruby: *opening the door* Oh, hey Jaune!
Jaune: Hey. Uh, is it alright if I room with you and Weiss for the night? Nora and Ren want the room for themselves.
Ruby: Sorry Jaune, me and Oscar are having our movie night/sleep over today.
Oscar: *on Ruby's bed* Hi Jaune.
Jaune: Oh. Where's Weiss?
Ruby: I don't know.
Jaune: Alright. You guys have a good night.
Ruby: You too Jaune! I hope you find somewhere to sleep.
As Jaune walked down the hall, he passed the room where Blake and Yang were sleeping. He was about to knock on the door, but then he started to hear certain... sounds. He wisely decided not to knock on their door.
Maybe he could sleep in Qrow's room? Surely, he wasn't sleeping with anyone. He knocked on his door, only to be greeted by not Qrow, but Winter. Wearing one of Qrow's undershirts.
Winter: ...
Jaune: ...
Winter: Do you need something?
Jaune: No! No, I'm... I'm good. Uhhh, have a nice night.
Winter: I hope you have a nice night as well, Mr. Arc.
Jaune was desparate. There had to be a room somewhere. He walked passed Emerald's room. No. He was desparate, but not that desparate.
Jaune sighed, and went to the kitchen. Maybe he could drown his sorrows in snacks and hot chocolate. But to his surprise, Weiss was there, making coffee.
Jaune: Weiss?
Weiss: *tired* Jaune. Would you like some coffee?
Jaune: No thanks. You couldn't find a room either?
Weiss: No. Every room was occupied. So I've decided to stay up all night.
Jaune: This sucks.
Weiss: Mmhmm.
Jaune:
Jaune:
Jaune: Fuck it.
Weiss: Hmm?
Jaune: I'm getting my sleeping bag, and sleeping on the balcony.
Weiss: That's... Not a bad idea. I'll get mine.
Jaune: Are you sure? It gets pretty cold at night.
Weiss: Please, I'm an Atlesian. I was born into the cold. This will be nothing.
It wasn't nothing. It was freezing. Weiss couldn't stop shivering, and her teeth were starting to chatter. How could a desert be so cold?! She should've brought a jacket, or something. She looked up at the starry night sky.
Weiss: Stupid stars, mocking me with their cold light. Aren't you supposed to be far away suns? Why can't you warm me up like it?
She then looked at Jaune, sleeping next to her. He looked unbothered by the cold. His eyes were closed. He looked warm.
She had an idea.
She poked Jaune in the face.
Weiss: Jaune. Jaune wake up.
Jaune: Hmm? What is it?
Weiss: Combine your sleeping bag with mine.
Jaune: Huh? Why?
Weiss: I'm cold. You're warm. Move. Now.
Jaune: Okay, okay.
They both unzipped their sleeping bags and attached them to each other. Jaune continued sleeping on his back, while Weiss slept with her back to him.
Weiss: *teeth chattering* I'm still cold.
Weiss had another idea.
Weiss turned around, wrapping her arms around Jaune, and laying her head on his chest.
Jaune: W-W-WEISS?!
Weiss: Shut up and hold me.
Jaune: What?
Weiss: Now.
Jaune: A-Alright.
Jaune turned to her, and held her in his arms. Weiss felt much warmer, both from the body heat, and the sheer embarrassment she felt for even having the courage to Jaune to do those things. Any other day, she wouldn't have been able to fall asleep. But now, she was just too tired.
Her eyes started to get heavier. Her last thought of the night was of how warm Jaune was, and how she'd like to feel that warmth again.
Maybe tomorrow, she could ask Jaune if they could sleep on the balcony again?

Winter: (Memory loss + 3) Ugh... My head.
Qrow: Don't worry. I made sure you got the good medicine. Vacuo likes to keep the best stuff to themselves.
Winter: Oh, thank you. I'm so lucky to have such a kind... uncle?
Qrow: Unc- Win, I'm your husband!
Winter: What?!
Qrow: It's true! We're the same age, too!
Winter: But you look so much more... ravaged than I am.
