So, it's no secret Renora week didn't go SUPER hard this year- even I dropped the ball on it SO How about a re-do?
Same prompts, but more time to do it?
I was thinking March 3rd-9th so it lines up with the 3 year anniversary of Risk.
How about it?

4 Times Nora Said Boop. 1 Time She Didn't.
Part 4

Part 3
4. Nobody talked about how traveling the continents really messed with your immune system. Switching from low altitude to high, and back again. Switching climates. Encountering an arctic tundra for the first time. Truly, somebody should’ve warned Nora it would mess with her immunity system before she caught a cold. Fortunately, Atlas Academy had the best doctors around. Unfortunately, they couldn’t make her nose stop running, her throat stop hurting, or her cough to stop coughing without her resting up. And that’s how she ended up getting all of her huntsmen assignments reassigned to others - much to her chagrin. She paced around the small room they gave her in the medical wing. It was basically like her own mini apartment.
While catching a cold was rare with everybody’s aura making them less likely to get sick, it wasn’t impossible. They still took precautions to keep the others well. She was going stir crazy - and she was lonely. She’d never really been alone. She’d always had Ren. She looked out at the window as people lived their lives in Atlas. She wished she could be out there with her team. But she knew she wouldn’t be of any help to anyone if she didn’t feel better. She threw herself into the room’s recliner and harrumphed.
A knock on the door.
“Come in,” she warbled, voice straining with the effort not to cough. Ren and Jaune poked their heads in. “Knock knock,” said Jaune. “We came to check on our favorite patient!” She grinned and jumped up. “Hey guys!” Promptly, she began to feel dizzy and launched into a coughing fit. The guys’ eyes widened as they shared a glance and rushed over to her. “No, no, don’t worry about me, I’m fine,” she rasped. “You both should go, I don’t want to get you sick.” Jaune rolled his eyes. “Honestly, I could use the break from all the parents,” he huffed. “I even brought you a casserole, they’ve given me so many.” Nora finally noticed the dish in his hands. Her eyes softened. “Thank you, Jaune.”
“You should rest,” Ren said briskly. “But that’s all I’ve been doing,” Nora whined. “Nora, you know we love you. We just want you to feel better,” Jaune said. Nora cut her eyes to Ren. He was pointedly looking out the window. She sighed. “Fine. Will you put the casserole in the fridge for me?” She asked, pointing towards the small kitchenette. Jaune promptly did as she asked, and Nora climbed into bed. “Noooo, I forgot my water,” she whined, straining towards the table by the recliner. Ren jumped into action, afraid she’d fall out of the bed since she was hanging off the side of it. Usual Nora - couldn’t do things normally. She always had her own way of doing things. “I’ve got it,” he said, setting it on the nightstand. She flopped back into bed with a sniff, attempting to clear her nose. “Thank you.”
Her hand flailed wildly to the nightstand, almost knocking over the water he had just rescued. “What do you need?” Ren asked. “I’m trying to find my medicine… I thought it was over here…” she said, feeling her way across the nightstand. Jaune smiled at his favorite people’s usual antics. Ren with his “Nora Grin,” as Nora told him she called it. Nora being… well, Nora. Jaune made his way over to the bed and sat down gently. “I found some medicine in the kitchen,” he said, handing it to Ren. Ren followed suit and sat down on Nora’s other side. He shook out a tablet and held it out to Nora. “Here you go.” She shook her head. “No, I don’t want it. It tastes bad.” Ren sighed. “Nora, you have to take it to feel better.” Nora rolled over to Jaune’s side of the bed. “You can’t make me!” She squealed. Jaune stroked Nora’s head. “You’re ridiculous.” She stuck her tongue out at him. “And you’re burning up.” Her tongue went back in.
Ren put his hand on her back. “Please,” he said. It was a wonder how that simple word, along with his touch, undid her. She sat up. “Fine. If I take my medicine, you have to stay and visit.” She croaked. “That is a deal I will happily make,” Ren said seriously, sticking out his hand. They shook on it. And promptly burst into laughter. Which caused Nora to have a coughing fit. “I’m fine, I’m fine, promise.” She said, right before taking her medicine.
Jaune looked at his best friends - the concern in Ren’s eyes for Nora, even if he was trying to hide it, and Nora, seeming a little dimmer than usual. “I think it’s time for me to head out.” He said. “But you promised to stay and visit if I took my medicine!” Nora pouted. “I never made such a promise - Ren did.” Jaune grinned. Somehow, it seemed like Nora pouted even more, and burrito-ed herself in her blankets. “It’s fine. I’m not hurt that you don’t wanna hang out with me.” Jaune rolled his eyes. “You know I do. But you also know as your leader I have things to do - and if you two hang out, I’ve gotta go pick up all the slack,” he responded dramatically, draping himself along Nora’s burrito-ed body. She giggled. “Fine Jaune. You’re dismissed. This time.” “Thank you,” he said, dramatically kissing her forehead. “Ah! Fever’s already going down.” This led to another giggle-cough fest by Nora. “Get out of here before you seriously injure her,” Ren grinned.
With Jaune gone, Nora unwrapped her burritoed blankets and scooched over to make more room for Ren. “Get comfy,” she said, dragging him over and throwing the blankets over him as well, forcing him to lay down. He complied, moving further onto the bed, but still felt stiff. Their communication hadn’t been great recently, and he knew that was partially on him. He wasn’t sure how to act around her right now. Nora, on the other hand, was feeling great. She was beginning to feel that cold-medicine-high, so she did what only seemed rational - she laid her head on his chest, followed by a hand. She could feel his heartbeat - did it… seem to speed up for a moment?
Reflexively, Ren wrapped his arm around her waist. How many nights had they slept like this throughout the years? Whether they started out in that position or not, whenever they shared a bed they almost always ended up wrapped up in each other by morning. But somehow, this time felt different. It wasn’t just to keep warm or take up less space. It meant something.
“I missed you, Ren,” she sighed, half asleep. He looked down at her. She seemed at peace for the first time in a while. “I’ve missed you too, Nora,” he replied. “I lo-” Nora started. “Nope, no chatting. We can do that later. Only rest right now. I need you to get better.” Ren said, unknowingly bringing her body closer to him. There was that feeling again - that feeling of electricity moving through Nora’s body. Except... there was no electricity. Why did it feel like her semblance was lighting her up, from her head to her toes?
Nora was too exhausted to try to parse through Ren’s words, or this feeling. She simply raised her hand in the general vicinity of his face - “Boop!” she announced, thwacking him in the face with her pointer finger. Ren smiled and closed his eyes. They both slept better that afternoon than they had in weeks.

It's their last test before their acceptance to Beacon and Ren and Nora are certain there's nothing that could get in their way! But while smushed together in a tent for their survival test, something tugs at the edges of Nora's mind... Written for Renora Week 2023 (Redeux!) Day 2: Boop!)

4 Times Nora Said Boop. 1 Time She Didn’t.
Part 1
AO3
Inspired by the Day 2 prompt for Renora Week, "Boop!"
As the title suggests, 5 times throughout Renora's relationship where the iconic "boop" was used.
Author’s Note:
This started as a rough idea during/after the initial attempt at Renora week.
It starts off a bit more abstract and gets more fic-like as each occurrence takes on. So Time #1 is pretty brief. Basically, I just wasn't sure how to write about them pre-Beacon, lol.
I'll be posting each occurrence as a different chapter because I. Don't actually have Time #5 finished. But I wanted to have something posted for Renora Week Day 2: Boop!
1. Childhood - shortly after they found each other. Nora loved Ren as a friend but knew how he hid his feelings - both figuratively and literally. And Nora didn’t want to make him uncomfortable, so she kept her big emotions pretty hidden away. One day, Ren injured himself (something minor, like a scrape or twisted ankle) but was obviously in pain. (He hadn’t mastered his aura yet.) She wanted to comfort him but wasn’t sure how. Instead, she kneeled down next to him and booped his nose for the first time. It made him laugh one of his rare, actual laughs. She wasn’t sure she’d heard one from him since they met. She knew she wanted to hear it again. He’d saved her life - the least she could do was make him laugh every now and again.

Reminder!
Late submissions are ALWAYS welcome! It's okay if you didn't finish them during the week, I'M not even gonna finish my fics this week because I'm also con crunching! The point is to share some love for one of the RWBY ships ever. The week was selected because it's the Anniversary of A Night Off. But it's also a busy time of year! The week is more symbolic than a hard deadline. Take care of yourselves, we're all just trying to have fun 🩷💚

3. During the Vytal Festival. Before they attempt to head back to the dorms, see Jaune and Pyrrha, and then go back to the festival.
Ren’s aim was impeccable in battle - but somehow, he managed to be awful at carnival games. Corn hole, balloon pop, knocking over bottles… all of it. He harrumphed as he lost yet another stuffed animal. Nora, being the competitive person she is, won. With others, she’d rub it in their faces, but not Ren.
“C’mon Ren, just choose the one you want.”
“No. I can’t let you win me another one.”
“Why not?”
“Because I wanted to win you one.”
Nora doubled over in laughter seeing the pout on his face coupled with his petulant tone. “Ren, I lo-“ she stopped herself, straightened, and shook her head. “You know I could easily win another.” But Ren was adamant. Nora knew the troubling events of the day were bothering him more than he let on. “I wanted to do something for you,” he confessed, looking away. “Today’s been awful and I just… Wanted to do something to make you smile.”
Nora knew there wasn’t an electrical current around, but her skin still felt that same tingle as when she was using her semblance.
“Oh, Ren…” she sighed, bringing her hand to his face and making him look at her. She couldn’t help it - she caressed his cheek with her thumb and - his eyes closed in brief peace. Nora felt her heart speed up. Ren opened his eyes, and she gave him the biggest smile she could - not completely authentic, because everything with Yang was still weighing heavily on her heart. So was with that green slime thing Ren tried to pass off as juice - it would be a wonder if she didn’t get food poisoning. But still. Ren always made her happy. “Better?” She asked. He smiled back. “Much.” Before she removed her hand from his face - “Boop! Now c’mon - let’s go get some snacks. It’s hard work beating you at everything we do.”

2. When they both got into Beacon. She, of course, had a classic Nora reaction. She squealed, jumped around, and beamed at Ren with more joy in her eyes than he’d ever seen. He gave her what she affectionately thought of as his “Nora Grin” - patient, amused, and endlessly entertained by her. Then he surprised her - he hugged her and spun her around. “We did it!” he said with unbridled joy. Nora’s feelings had recently started changing - she knew she like liked Ren, and was almost overwhelmed at seeing him not guard his emotions. She couldn’t help it. She tapped his nose. “Boop!”
