Work Text:
It was the anniversary of the formation of teams RWBY and JNPR. Yang suggested that they all should get together to commemorate, and they chose the Schnee-Arc house on New Vale to do the party.
There was a knock on the door, Weiss opened it only to see Winter and Qrow.
“Sister, Qrow, so nice of you to join us.” says Weiss with a smile.
Winter smiles back at her sister. "Well, it's been pretty quiet lately so I thought I could take the time to visit."
"You thought that!" grumbled Qrow beside her. "I on the other hand would have taken the kids to a bar and..."
"Don't you dare continue that phrase!" says Winter glaring at Qrow.
Qrow scowled. But keeps his mouth shut.
Weiss giggled and led them through to the living room. "You guys are the last ones, everyone else turned up more or less on time."
"Sorry," said Winter. "But I had some last minute assignments with the Athene Military that I had to finish before coming here… and I had to drag this old bird here as well."
"Winter! Uncle Qrow!" Ruby stood up in excitement. "It's so good to see you again!"
"Hey guys! What's up?" Jaune waves from the couch where he was sitting beside Ren, who smiles and nods in their direction, and Blake, who just waves at them.
Yang and Nora are sitting in front of the TV playing King of Hunters.
"DIE!" Nora squealed. "DIE NOW!!!"
"Sorry about that," said Weiss apologetically. "Yang challenged Nora… And well… It’s Nora."
At that moment Oscar came in from the kitchen, carrying a plate. "Cheese, anyone?" he asks.
After a few minutes Yang turn the game off and stands up. "Hey everyone, gather round, gather round... Now, lets celebrate the anniversary of when our teams were formed and do something fun."
"Oh Gods," says Weiss.
"Let’s play a game." says Yang ignoring Weiss.
"A game?" asks Jaune.
"A drinking game. You see, back when we were fighting White Fang, Salem and whatever, I suggested that when we get back we all have some champagne. But Miss Weiss, nixed that, saying that we shouldn't be drinking while in the middle of a war."
"Well, we shouldn't!" says Weiss.
"So... we're not anymore," continues Yang. "Nora, the champagne!"
"All of it?"
"Yes."
"I can't carry five crates by myself!!!" Nora protests.
"Five... crates????" says Blake. "Um... this is the sort of thing that could get us into lots of trouble."
"I KNEW this was a bad idea." Weiss facepalms.
"Don't worry Blake, we're all friends here." Ruby tries to calm her friend.
"Now I'm worried," says Blake.
"Don't worry about it," says Jaune. "I installed a jammer for tonight, and no recording devices are going to be able to work through it."
Yang and Qrow grimace, *Damn.*
The champagne was lugged in, and the first bottles were poured. Everyone sat around in a circle, and Yang began.
"The rules are quite simple. We go around in a circle, and each person says something they've never done. Like, uh, 'I've never kicked the wall impotently when cookie jar was empty'."
"YANG!" screams Ruby.
"OR like 'I've never eaten a live rat'," Yang amends hastily. "Then, anyone who HAS done that thing, has to drink. NOT the whole glass, unless you want to, but slightly more than a sip. Any questions?"
No one said anything.
"Ok, I will go first," Yang declares. "I have thought long and hard for this one."
Everyone waited with bated breath.
"I have never exchanged wedding vows with the guy I like in my sleep."
Weiss blushes and looks at Jaune. "Damn Yang" whispers Weiss, as she reachs for her glass.
Ren was next. "I've never had my bike blown up by others," he says quietly.
Yang scowls. "Well, MINE wouldn't have been blown up if it hadn't been for a certain SOMEONE in this very room!"
Ren smiles as Yang drank.
Then it was Nora's turn.
"I've never sat on a bike," she says.
Yang, Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Qrow and Jaune reach for their glasses.
Weiss looks surprised at Jaune, raising an eyebrow.
“Well... I saw you guys ridding one and Bubblebee was just SITTING there."
“WHAT???” shouts Yang.
"My turn.” says Ruby “Let's see. I've never cheated at cards!" she glares at Weiss, who didn't move towards her glass. Unlike Yang, Qrow and Winter.
Weiss raises BOTH her eyebrows at Winter, who smiles and looked away. "You don't know EVERYTHING about me little sister."
"It would appear not. Jaune?"
"I've never danced around in my underwear, singing."
Yang groans and reaches for her glass. So did Weiss.
"Weiss?" gasps Ruby.
"I was six!" says Weiss defensively.
"Awww... that must have been so cute," chuckles Jaune.
“It was.” confirms Winter, showing Jaune a picture in her scroll.
“WINTER!!!” screams Weiss blushing.
Ruby taps her shoulder and shows her a photo on her scroll. "Yang doesn't have your age excuse."
Weiss looks at the photo and giggles.
"Hey!!!" complain Yang. "No fair! You're all picking on me," she hiccuped. "Well that's just FINE!"
She fishes a photo out of her jacket pocket and handed it around to everybody. It was a lovely "early morning" shot of Blake.
"Ummm... not a morning person I take it?" asked Ren.
"YANG!!!!" shouts Blake.
"Winter, you're up!" shouts Jaune, trying to head off the carnage.
Winter tried to think of something no one could ever have done. "I've never used whipped cream for anything other than food."
Weiss and Jaune pale. "How did you..." they both stopped and reach for their drinks. So did Yang and Blake.
"My turn, My turn" said Nora. She shot Ruby a penetrating glance. "I've never slept with Weiss."
Ruby merely stared at her whilst Weiss sputtered and choked. And Jaune drank… a lot.
Weiss ground her teeth. How could she? This meant war!
"My turn!" she said. "I've NEVER crept NAKED into another person's room to try and seduce them with my feminine wiles!"
Nora turned on her, infuriated. "How could you..." she drank from her glass… and so did Blake.
Everyone tried real hard not to think about this.

Several more rounds passed, as more and more secrets came out.
"I've never had sex on a glyph," hiccuped Ruby.
Jaune and Weiss sigh and reached for their glasses.
"How the hell did you know about that?" demands Jaune.
Weiss sniffed. "Ruby, I thought you'd keep that a secret!"
"Ooops, sorry..."
Qrow sighed. "I've never had sex in..." his mind wandered. "A Bullhead."
Jaune and Weiss went bright red and picked up their glasses.
"Oh you're kidding..."
***
"I've never sneaked a kiss on the object of my affection," said Winter.
There was a mass movement towards the glasses as Yang, Weiss, Blake, Jaune, and Ruby all moved forwards.
"Hmmmm..."
However, this was soon dwarfed by Ren's next statement.
"I've never been insulted by Yang." says Ren.
Everyone but Ren and Yang went for their glasses.
"What's THAT supposed to mean!" Yang demanded.
Jaune pats her shoulder. "Don'cha worry Yang. We all know that'sh how you show affection."
"Yes, we noticed how you sculled your glass Jaune," said Blake.
***
"I've never had sex with Jaune," Blake says abruptly. Everyone turn to look at Ruby, who raises her hands. "Not guilty." she said. "Look at Weiss - look at Weiss! For goodness sake stop looking at me... she's practically inhaling the whole bottle. Why won't you believe me? There's nothing between us. Nothing I tell you! See, I'll prove it!" She grabs Oscar and kisses him.
"Oh..." says Blake disappointingly. No scandals here. "Okay Ruby, we believe you."
"Ruby... you can stop now."
"Ruby... don't you have to come up for air or something. Ruby? RUBY!!!"
***
The evening wore on:
"I've never been turned on by my bike - or anyone else's. Why is everyone looking at me disbelievingly?"
***
"I've never had sex in the kitchen."
"Do you guys have cameras in our house or something?"
***
"I've never cheated my way to enter school."
"Did you have a problem with that Weiss?"
"Not really, I got to meet you."
"Hmph."
***
"I've never had sexual fantasies about Sun."
"Damn you Jaune!"
***
"I've never tried practicing the kama sutra!"
"You guys DO have cameras in our house!"
"Do you two ever STOP???!!!"
"Umm... is that an I've Never statement?"
"ARGH!!!"
***
"I've never had sexual fantasies about Jaune."
"I can't believe that so many of you... Ruby! Blake! Weiss! Yang! Winter?????"
Weiss hugged Jaune really hard and glared at all the girls especially her sister.
***
Around 3 am things began to run down. Ruby had gone to sleep in the corner. Ren and Nora were leaning together drunkenly on the couch. Qrow was languidly draped over Winter who was still sitting bolt upright despite the two empty champagne bottles in front of her. Jaune and Weiss were still sitting together, both still blushing and avoiding looking at Yang and Blake. Oscar was sitting beside Ruby and watching as Weiss tried to think of a safe question that didn't involve sex in strange places or poses.
"Ummmm... I've never... been locked outside in my underwear." she says finally.
Qrow chuckled and reached for one of the champagne glasses in front of him. Damn things kept moving about!
"You drunken fool," said Winter.
"Hey, it was deliberate," he said. "I was trying to get away from the girl on the other side of the door!"
"You... you... you... went out with someone?"
"Hey... not everyone's totally resistant to my charms," said Qrow. "Anyway, it was a long time ago."
"Immoral man!"
"What's your problem? You don't have any right to criticize me or be judgmental - it's not like we're married or anything."
"If we were married things would be different."
"But we're not, Ice Queen, so this is pointless," said Qrow crossly.
Oscar gently woke Ruby up to watch as they all drew closer to the argument.
"I know that we're not but you should listen to me!"
"I don't think so."
Winter's eyes flashed. "You are so stubborn! Who would want to marry such a man as you anyway?"
"Well you don't have to worry about it." Qrow shrugged and turned away, reaching once more for his drink.
"Fine! Will you marry me or not?" Winter shouted. The room held its collective breath.
There was a short pause. "Okay," said Qrow, just before passing out.
Winter looked at him as the last conversation trickled through her skull. She looked up at her audience, who were all grinning at her.
"Congratulations!" said Yang. "I've never proposed to someone in a drunken rage."
