Despite the fact that since the first semester, Weiss credited herself with being a great new friend towards all her teammates, she still knew very little about them and they in turn, knew very little about her. She had decided to subtly change this fact through the art of shopping, as it was generally something that seemed to always spark conversation without sparking suspicion at the same time.

However, she was regretting her decision to bring Yang along shopping with her.

While she also found herself getting frustrated with having to drag her team leader, Ruby, out of the various weapon stores that littered the local mall Ruby was at least far more manageable. Mostly because she was roughly the same size as her. And Blake, well she couldn't find her. She was probably off reading a book somewhere on the campus out of sight. And even then, she knew when she was spending too long browsing in a book store, clothing store or otherwise. Yang however, was just a blonde brute who's physical strength dwarfed her own. So when Yang wanted to go to a store and shop, there was no sense in arguing.

Well, she may have been exaggerating a bit. Yang wasn't cruel enough to FORCE you to shop with her, she often told her to go off and shop on her own, and she'd catch up when she was done with whatever had caught her attention. But Weiss didn't like doing that, it made her seem impatient and rude.

"How about this one?"

"No."

Her patience was starting to push her to her limits though. Because Yang insisted that they go clothes shopping, thinking that she could inspire the heiress to have a better 'fashion sense' as she called it.

"This would be a whole lot easier if you maybe pointed out some stuff that you liked, Queeny."

"I'm perfectly fine with the wardrobe I have at the dorm, Yang."

"Aah that's all BORING white dresses. Like, I know it's your thing but come it wouldn't kill you to have at least ONE outfit that was a different color!"

"Does our uniform for classes not count?"

"Nope!"

Weiss let out a groan as she scanned the store for something, ANYTHING that could possibly get Yang off her back. Unfortunately, this store was for women with a more... interesting taste. Much like Yang herself. Who was now holding yet another short skirt, this one being a lighter blue that was also paired with an open top.

"Yang, do you just not know the meaning of the word modesty?"

"Pfft. Course I do, I just don't use it."

"Clearly."

"Look, Weiss. I'm just trying to help you out here."

"Then why not look for clothing that I would actually wear, instead of something that YOU would wear."

Yang brought a hand up to her chin, she did have a point. This store was one that she frequented a lot, and she'd be lying to herself if she said that a lot of what they sold were something that she would ever see the Ice Queen wear. But she at least had to TRY, she couldn't help it.

"Maybe for once you could venture out of that little shell of yours and wear something that'll spin some heads."

"I'm more then capable of "spinning heads" with my looks as they are now, thank you very much."

"Oh you mean like with that totally hunky vomit boy across the hall from us?"

Weiss nearly burst out laughing at that. "Perhaps I was wrong about you Yang, you ARE capable of sophisticated and actually funny jokes."

"Aw come on, I'm sure you two would make the cutestest, bestest couple at Beacon!" She took special care to say the last few words with the best baby tone she could, it always flustered Weiss so much when she did.

This time however, she wouldn't let it happen. "I can assure you with one hundred percent certainty, I will NEVER be interested in Jaune."

Yang just rolled her eyes and smirked. "Maybe some day we'll find someone who can melt that icy cage around your heart, Ice Queen."

"I am not one to be caged by my emotions, thank you very much. I'll have you know that I-" Weiss couldn't finish her rant though, as Yang's attention was caught by something that happened to be behind the heiress. Which resulted in Yang pushing Weiss out of the way for her to actually get to what she was ogling. "Hey! I was talking!"

Weiss glanced at the article of clothing that Yang had her attention drawn to. It was nothing that could be defined as special, it was a collared cream top that seemed to also be over a black shirt. It seemed to also be paired with a very short black skirt, that also came with a few belts for some bizarre reason. She was starting to really question the fashion sense of this establishment, now more then ever before.

"Oh my god. This is PERFECT for me!" Yang practically gushed as she grabbed the outfit and made her way to the nearest changing booth. A few moments later, she stepped out in her new outfit.

"Well, do I look good or do I look even better?" She questioned as Weiss skeptically looked her up and down.

"I feel like for you, it's still missing something..." Weiss pondered as she found herself being drawn to her friends legs. She had never noticed how... toned they were before. Strange thoughts aside, that was certainly where she was being thrown off. Her bare legs didn't really help with the outfit. After all, Yang normally wore shorts so a lack of leggings didn't really matter too much. But a skirt with leggings was always much more appealing in her opinion then a skirt with no leggings. Though when it came to her, she thought that her longer boots covered that department well enough.

"I feel as though you should get a pair of leggings to match. A skirt without them feels a bit bare, don't you think?"

Yang inspected herself in the mirror a bit longer before she came to the conclusion that Weiss was right. "Yeah, I think so too. Man, never thought I would hear good fashion advice coming from you!"

"My fashion advice is only of the highest caliber! It's just so refined that the more simple folk such as yourself can't comprehend it, that's all."

"Yeah yeah, and my fashion sense is just..." Weiss noticed that Yang's rebuttal seemed to drop off midway as she glanced down at the price tag on her outfit.

"Oh no. This is way too expensive..." Weiss glanced at the tag and noticed that it was indeed very pricey for something coming from a store like this. Not for her of course, but for someone like Yang...

Who then started to burst into tears?

"This is like the most PERFECT outfit ever and I can't even afford it! Why, Oum, WHY?!"

"Yang, calm down. You're making a scene over clothing."

"You don't understand, Weiss! I've been wanting a new outfit for so long, and I finally find one and... UGH!"

She simply rolled her eyes in response. Then she got to thinking... She was such a great friend for even considering this offer.

"How about I just buy you the outfit and you can pay me off at a later date?"

Yang's crying stopped almost immediately in response, as she rushed up to Weiss and grabbed hold of both her hands.

"You... you would do that for me, Ice Queen?"

"Yes, I suppose. It's not that much after all."

Yang was about to offer a rebuttal, but she remembered that her icy friend was sort of loaded. So of course an outfit as pricey as this would seem like chump change to her. Either way, she wasn't about to look a gift horse in the mouth. Or however that saying went. She only heard her dad use it like once, so she knew it had to be some kind of ancient phrase from eons ago.

"Thank you so much Weiss! Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!"

"You're welcome but I'm seriously thinking of reconsidering my offer if you don't GET OFF OF ME!"

In her excitement, Yang failed to notice that she had practically latched onto Weiss in a strange bear hug. How was Ice Queen even holding her up at this point?

After Yang had gotten changed back into her normal attire and they both made their purchases, they left the store only to be greeted by the sound of Yang's stomach loudly demanding sustenance.

"Welp, grub time. Come on, Ice Queen. I'm buying."

"Wait a minute, I thought you said you didn't have money?"

"I said I didn't have enough money to afford those clothes, not that I didn't have money to feed our faces!"

"...Wouldn't it be better to just save... Oh nevermind, you won't listen anyway."

"Nope!"

Weiss at least appreciated the gesture. She had never taken Yang to be someone who offered to take people out for anything, let alone lunch.

And then she was far less appreciative when she saw the establishment that Yang had picked. McDust.

She was right back to regretting asking Yang to go shopping, again.

Author's Notes

So here's some Slowburn Freezerburn! That sounds so redundant to say for some reason.
Anyway, I'll be updating this story essentially whenever I think of something new to write for it.
I've got a decent idea of where I'm going with it, but it's certainly going to be a lot slower then say Wind in his Sails updates.
Most of these will also be short little excursions, since it's all going to be fluff with a few exceptions.

Since Freezerburn is a ship that generally doesn't get much attention comparatively, I figured I'd try writing some fluff for it.
To be perfectly honest, there aren't many Weiss ships that I dislike. At least when it comes to the main cast, but Freezerburn just seems like an interesting one.
So does Monochrome, but I feel like there is a solid amount of Monochrome when compared to Freezerburn.
