Ruby leaned back in her chair and looked at her phone, holding her breath and hoping that another message from Weiss was there. The redhead frowned when she saw there were no new notifications. Groaning, she put the phone on her desk and turned her attention back to the computer. Although Weiss had said she was going to bed, Ruby had held out hope that the white-haired girl would send one more text. Ruby felt her face heat up at the thought and was glad she was alone. It was almost midnight and the house had been quiet for an hour, both Yang and their father preferring to go to bed early, leaving Ruby to her own devices. Such as thinking about a certain heiress in ways other than platonic friendship.
Ruby thought back to the friendly outing the two shared a week ago. It had almost been an entire day just doing fun things, and Ruby learned that even Weiss was able to relax and enjoy herself. But since then, the two had fallen back into their old routines. Weiss would work as a barista, Ruby would go and see her every day, and that was it. The only difference, Ruby hated to admit, was that she could no longer hold a steady conversation without getting tongue-tied.
She hated her newfound speech impediment with a passion. How could she convey her feelings if she couldn't even talk about the weather or order a coffee? Not to mention that the lack of progress was insulting for her sister's efforts too. Knowing Ruby's intentions, Yang had selflessly decided to give the young redhead all of the space she needed to woo the white-haired temptress, which meant that she seldom stayed at the coffee shop for long under the pretense of having to work a lot more. Ruby stood up to stretch. Her eyes were starting to hurt from looking at the screen for too long.
Ruby paced around her room, wondering if there was some way for her to spend more time with Weiss. She didn't want to rush into anything, but Ruby felt like her heart was going to explode each time she thought about the heiress. As a result, she couldn't even play The Sims anymore, thanks to the temptation of watching her digital replica kiss the little Weiss all night. That wasn't to say that she had not given in to those urges, but Ruby didn't want to make it a habit.
Ruby stared out of the window, mind filling with questions. How could she make the digital kisses a reality? How could she show Weiss how much she cared?
At that moment, as Ruby gazed upon the stars, the planets fell into perfect alignment, and through the cosmic channels of inspiration, Ruby Rose was struck with an idea from the very heavens. She was going to ask over Weiss for a sleepover.
