I took my seat in the stands to watch the next match of the Vytal Festival. Weiss and Yang were about to compete and I was so excited to see them fight. Especially Weiss. I always loved watching her fight. She was so elegant, so strong, and always knew what to do in a tough situation.

Weiss and Yang took the center stage of the arena. Shortly afterward their opponents took the opposite end. One was a girl and one was a guy. The girl was dressed very brightly and wore roller blades for some reason. The guy was dressed really nice and in dark colors. Both had rather odd weapons as well. The guy had a trumpet for some reason and the girl had these neon colored nunchucks.

"Hey" the man goes. "Your Weiss Schnee right? The Heiress…"

"I am!" Weiss replied

"I take your pretty good with Dust then?"

"I do my best!"

"Yeah! My dad was good too! Owned a little Dust shop of his own…'til yo father's company ran him out of business."

"Oh…I'm sorry to hear that!"

"Sure you are!" At that moment I almost got out of my chair to beat that guy, but Yang beat me to it.

"Hey! Why don't you-"said Yang before she was interrupted

"Hey! Why don't you…" replied the other girl "That's what you sound like!"

"Uhh…"

"Hey! Where did you get your hair extensions?"

"This is just my normal hair…"

"Ohh! Really?"

"Yeah, is that a prob-"

"You should try rollerblading sometime! It's super fun! It'd probably take you a while though since you're so… You know… Top heavy!"

"Excuse me!?" This match was turning out to be really annoying. "Ah… Here we go" I said.

The match begun with Flynt playing his trumpet and knocking Yang backwards. Weiss got a foot hold with her glyphs and the other girl went off to fight Yang. Yang and that girl disappeared from my view, but Weiss continued to battle the man with the trumpet. He played once more but Weiss used her semblance to gain ground. He stopped playing and Weiss went in but was knocked into a volcanic crystal area in the arena. They faced one another and Weiss finally made her move. She used her glyphs to throw Ice at the man, but he used his trumpet and a fire pit in the ground to deflect the ice. "Too bad all that money can't buy you skill." The man said. Weiss was beginning to look angry. She switched her dust to an air element to occupy the man in a draw. While he played to ward off her attack, Weiss placed glyphs all around him. Weiss then used them to attack the man in a barrage of attacks from multiple directions.

The man then activated what I would guess was his semblance. He created three clones of himself and continued to play, knocking Weiss really far back.

Just then Neon and Yang reappeared and were still fighting. The man turned around towards Yang and his teammate and activated his semblance once again. He planned on attacking Yang. Seeing her chance, Weiss got up and knocked the man into a pit of fire in the arena. "Weiss!" I yelled. I completely lost track of time after that. Everything was a blur from the moment Weiss went down, to the point where the match was over and Blake and I rushed down to check on Weiss and congratulate them both. Weiss was moved to an infirmary after the match and lost consciousness. I never left her side. When she woke up it was about nine in the evening.

"R-Ruby" she asked "Where am I?"

"You're in the infirmary" I replied "Your aura was completely depleted and they wanted to keep you here until you felt better"

"Oh… Wait did we win?! How is Yang, did we do alright?!"

"Relax, she's fine. You both won the match and Yang will be competing tomorrow in the singles round."

"Oh that's good. I was worried that I might ha-"I rushed in and gave Weiss a hug. "Don't ever do that to me again Weiss, you scared me." Weiss smiled and stroked my back. "I'm fine you dunce. You don't need to worry about me." Tears started to flow from my eyes and I couldn't stop them. "I-I was so worried about you… I didn't know how badly you were hurt and I rushed over as soon as the match was over and…" Weiss pulled my chin up and looked me in the eyes. "Ruby." She said "Y-yeah" I replied. "Just shut up for once you dolt" she leaned in and kissed me. Her lips were warm and cold all at the same time. She embraced me even tighter and when she finally let go I felt warm and loved. But I also felt cold because she let me go.

She looked down at the floor and started blushing. "I-I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me. It's just that… Seeing you sad or hurt makes me feel sad or hurt and I didn't want you to feel sad and..." She continued to talk but I didn't get the rest. I just kept looking at her. I had always thought of Weiss as a friend, but now. I didn't know what to think. She was beautiful, elegant, and strong. I had never seen her this way before and I didn't want to see her in a different way ever again.

I leaned in and kissed her midsentence. She looked surprised, but as we held that kiss, she eased up and closed her eyes, embracing me and I her. I finally broke away and looked at her. "How are you feeling Weiss?" She blushed and looked down. "Much better."

"Well then let's go home." She nodded and got up from her bed and we started to walk back. She reached for my hand and I at first flinched at it, but the held her hand tightly, not wanting to ever let go. We walked back silently, but I could see a smile on her face.

Before we walked into the dorm room, Weiss looked at me and said "We can't let Yang and Blake know about this yet. Yang has the tournament and Blake wouldn't understand right now with all that's going on in her head. So let's keep this a secret between us for now okay?" I looked at her and after a while finally said "Ok." Weiss smiled. "That's my girl." She then leaned in and gave me a quick kiss and we walked into our dorm.
