Chapter 1 - Laid Up

An injured Yang has to deal with a very mad Weiss.

Yang sat in bed with her leg propped up as she watched Weiss pace. Her left knee had been bandaged, but there was still a dull ache even with her semblance working to heal it.

"You could have been killed, what were you thinking?!" the heiress yelled at her.

"Well first off I'm nearly killed most days. Second, you were kinda in trouble, so I wasn't really thinking. It was more an impulse thing," Yang answered her irate girlfriend.

The white haired woman's eyes flared at Yang's response.

Oh right she gets mad when I rush in without thinking. She just yelled at me about that on Tuesday, or was it Saturday? ...No I think it was both of those days actually.

Yang's focus snapped back into place and she realized that Weiss was pinching the bridge of her nose.

"What?!" the blond exclaimed. "You're my princess," she smiled in a way she knew Weiss wouldn't be able to resist, "It's my job to protect you."

The smaller woman scowled at Yang with her arms straight at her sides and her tiny fists clenched, "For the last time don't call me a princess, I'm an heiress. And more importantly I'm a skilled huntress just like you." Weiss stamped her foot for emphasis. "You need to let me take care of myself."

As much as she tried Yang could not keep a grin from her face. She loved it when Weiss got all worked up and went into tsundere mode. It was stinking adorable how hard Weiss tried to hide that she cared.

"Do not you dare make that face, it's utterly patronizing when you don't trust me to take care of myself," Weiss fumed.

Yang smiled and let out a gentle laugh, "It's not like that at all. I'd trust my life to your skill even on your worst day."

Weiss looked over at her, irritation slightly deflated, "Then why did you jump in front of me? I could have taken that hit, in fact I was halfway to countering it when you barged in."

Yang crossed her arms and shook her head as a soft smile met her lips, "Because I love you Weiss."

The Ice Queen's eyes went wide with shock and her jaw hung slightly open.

"Oh," Weiss answered quietly, "I see."

And like that the ice storm was over. It wasn't like it was the first time that Yang had told Weiss that she loved her, but every time she got pretty much the same response. It always made Yang think about just how cold Weiss's childhood must have been if those simple words still staggered her. It never failed to make Yang's heart ache.

Yang held out her hand for Weiss to come over. The heiress blushed and looked away nervously, but eventually made her way over to take the offered hand.

The blond smirked before she pulled on Weiss hard enough that the smaller woman landed on top of her.

"Yang, no!" Weiss shrieked, "You're leg!"

"Don't worry, I'm fine," Yang laughed. She pulled on Weiss so that the smaller woman would cuddle up on her.

As the heiress nuzzled her face into Yang's shoulder she quietly spoke, "I love you as well," small hands held tight to Yang's jacket, "and… thank you… you dumb dragon. Just don't do that again!"

Yang wrapped her arms around Weiss and smiled as she kissed the top of her girlfriend's head.

I don't care what you say, you'll always be my tsundere princess. And I will always be there to protect you.

Author's Notes:

If you have ideas for a quick story about Weiss, Yang, or both then please leave me a message in a PM, Review, or on Tumblr (ShippingK8). I can usually get a drabble out quickly if I have a good bit of inspiration and it helps me take a breather from the main story so I don't get hyper focus.
