Chapter 1 Date night
A/N this is me just messing around and having fun, but constructive criticism still wanted. Pls review! ENJOY
Ruby is standing by the airship that supposed to take both her and Weiss to Vale, but the heiress is cutting it close, and Ruby is starting to freak out a bit.
'Please tell me she will be here on time! Please tell me she wants to be here on time! What if she has decided that she just doesn't want to show at all... what would I do... I don't know that if she did that, I would be able to look at her again...'
Ruby's thoughts were interrupted by the on-the-dot arrival of the white haired heiress.
"Weiss you came!" Ruby exploded giving the heiress a hug.
"Of course I came you dolt! I said I would didn't I?"
Ruby pulled away, sheepish. "Well, yeah, but when it started getting near the time I thought..." Ruby's words were cut off by Weiss pointing out that both of them would be late if they didn't board the ship.
Ruby sat awkwardly next to Weiss and started fidgeting; wringing her hands together. Weiss noticed the movement and sighed, placing one of her hands on both of Ruby's. The heiress felt the smaller girl tense from contact, but then relax from the comforting gesture. They stayed like this the whole way; Weiss's hand resting gently on Ruby's intertwined fingers.
The pair exited the ship and made their way through Vale; enjoying the sights, and each others company. Ruby spots a cozy looking café, and her and the heiress make their way to it.
The menu was small, but the sandwiches looked good and they both made their orders. Weiss getting the 'Chicken, avocado, over Artisan bread' and Ruby getting the 'Potato chowder with bacon and green onion'. They struck up small talk, mostly about Blake's new smut series, but ended up talking about Yang's obvious crush on her.
"I really don't get how someone as perceptive, and knowledged as Blake, could miss it!"
"I know," Ruby replied, with just as much vigor. "It's so obvious! I mean Yang follows her around like a dog to a bone!"
The food arrived and their impassioned conversation was put on hold as they ate the yummy meal before them.
When they were done; Weiss paid the bill, and Ruby the tip.
They made their way back to airship dock, both of them feeling happy and full from the good night they were currently enjoying.
They were in a secluded part of town, the landing airship in sight, when Weiss grabbed Ruby's hand stopping her from moving forward.
"What is it Weiss?" Ruby asked her, staring cheerily into the taller girls eyes.
The heiress quailed at the petite face looking up at her, curiously. She wanted to tell Ruby that she wanted to do this again: enjoy the small talk, watch her slurp her soup quietly (Weiss didn't even know that was possible to do), and watch her pretty face grow excited over her older sister's crush. She wanted to tell Ruby that she liked her; she wanted to pull her into a kiss, and stay in that kiss forever. But she couldn't, she couldn't open up... not yet.
So Weiss shrugged off the other words in her head, and using her quick thinking skills found something new to say.
Giving Ruby a tight smile she made her escape.
"I just wanted to inform you that, I will be paying the airship fare again. You have less money so it is only a courtesy."
Ruby started to protest but Weiss walked quickly ahead of her.
Tears welled up in the heiresses eyes, but she shook them away; she wasn't ready.
She may never be.
A/N Any suggestions? Let me know, I'll be willing to take them! I'll update asap (I have plenty of time so the largest gap would probably be a week). Have a good week!
