Chapter One
Favor For A Friend
'I want more.
This fire burns, from your pores.'
This idea was beyond foolish. She must have gone brain dead. Ruby was clearly rubbing off on her.
Propped up on the edge of the bed, cerulean pools peered across their shared bedroom at the other woman. It was just the two of them. Opportune time to put her plans into action - if she could only force herself to move. Words were lodged in her larynx. Naturally cool porcelain skin burning ever so slightly as her heart hammered violently against her rib-cage. As illogical as she knew it was, she feared it would break through her chest. 'Ridiculous.'
Skeletal fingers curled into the mattress. Heels of boot clad feet clacking absentmindedly against the floor.
'Clack. Clack. Clack.'
Lucky for her, the other woman was lost in her own world. Playing some stupid video game. How people could waste their time with something so childish was beyond Weiss.
"Gotcha!" Yang shouted, tossing a victorious hand into the air as she defeated one of the enemies in the game. Wholeheartedly oblivious to the fact that anyone else was even in the room. Let alone, staring holes into the back of her skull.
The howl that escaped the blonde, caused Weiss to practically jump out of her own skin. Small squeak passing her lips.
Still, no notice from the other.
'Yang more than likely doesn't have the brain capacity to realize I am watching her.' She internally scolded her "friend," if you could call her that. Heiress couldn't call any of the girls her "friends." They were teammates. Forced to work together. Nothing more. Most of the time she could barely stand any of them.
'Clack. Clack. Clack.'
The longer Weiss sat there, the more she was doubting this idiotic plan.
It was slowly driving her insane.
She needed to take charge and ask Yang for help, at the risk of highly bruising her ego and embarrassing herself, or give up and leave. Sitting here was torture.
"Ahem!" A cough to get the brute's attention. Chin lifted confidently, despite the way her insides were twisting with anxiety and her heart was thundering in her ears. She was Weiss Schnee. She could do anything she set her mind to. Asking for help now would aid in improving herself. Which was her ultimate goal in life. Constantly growing and improving her skills.
"That a girl! Right in the face!" Yang hollered, pointing at the screen and tossing the controller to the ground.
Still, ignoring the other.
"AHEM!"
"Huh?" Her face scrunched up in confusion as she was finally drawn out of the game she was playing. She recognized the voice, but didn't know why Weiss would be trying to get her attention. The two rarely spoke outside of missions and when the group was all together. This was weird. Glancing over her shoulder, lilac eyes glimmered with confusion. "You talkin' to me, Princess?"
"Trying to. Though it seems you are too simple-minded to get the hint."
"Ouch." Yang teased, smirk twisting onto her lips as she moved to turn off the game she was playing. Weiss wouldn't waste her time talking to her if this wasn't important. Something was eating the girl up inside. It was written across that pretty face of hers. "There ya go. My 'simple' mind is all yours now. What's up?"
Blinking a few times, confidence drained from her features and she turned her attention away from the other. She couldn't look at her while she spoke about this. It was too embarrassing. For a Schnee, pride was everything. Asking for help with something as stupid as this was pathetic.
"Weiss, what's goin' on?"
"Never mind. It's nothing."
"Oh, no ya don't, missy!" Yang wasn't about to let her friend backpedal outta this one. She'd come to her for a reason. Crossing the room, the blonde plopped down recklessly on the bed beside the heiress. Causing her tiny, frail form to bounce around. 'She needs to put some meat on them bones, I swear!' "If ya got somethin' to say, just say it. I ain't gonna judge. Promise."
"Trust me, you will judge me for this." Weiss assured, confidently.
"Oh God, do you have a crush on Jaune?"
"What!?" Blue eyes shot wide with disgust. "No! Oh god, no! Please never say that again!"
"Then what?"
Weiss let out a defeated sigh, glancing down at her lap and continuing to tap her boots against the floor. Was this better or worse than having a crush on Jaune? 'Nothing could be worse than that. Gross.' "You may, or may not know, that Neptune asked me out on a date this evening."
Of course Yang knew. Word spread around Beacon like a wildfire. Why her friend would be embarrassed about something like that was beyond her, though. The two had been dancing around their feelings for what seemed like a lifetime! It wasn't that crazy that they were going on a date tonight. Hell, it was about damn time!
"Pretty sure everyone knows about that."
"Wish that everyone in Beacon would just keep their mouths shut-" 'Not the point Weiss.' She internally cut herself off before going on a rant about gossip around Beacon Academy, that was not the point of this conversation. "The truth is, I've never been out on a date with a boy before."
"Ahhhh! Now this is makin' sense!"
"It is?"
"Sure, you're nervous about your big date so you've come to me for advice! Not like any of our other friends have a clue about boys!" It made perfect sense. Weiss couldn't exactly ask Ruby about boys. While Yang loved her baby sister to death, the girl was more in love with weapons than people. Blake...Blake didn't seem to like people at all. She was the obvious choice to help with this problem!
"True enough." A small chuckle passed icy lips.
"Consider me Yang, the dating guru. What do ya need to know?"
This was going better than Weiss could have ever expected. She'd figured the other would poke fun at her. Tease her for not having been out with a boy before. Way Yang talked about boys, it was evident she'd been around the block a few times. One of the only things she could say she envied in the blonde. Her ease in social situations and how she always managed to have fun. It was idiotic. She really should think more before she acted, but there was a freedom that came with that.
A freedom she'd always wanted on some level, but could never obtain.
Her brain just didn't work like that.
"Well, you are always talking about boys and how hot they are, I assume that means you have kissed one of them?"
"One? Honey, I've done more than kissed plenty a em."
Oh.
Weiss honestly hadn't even allowed her thoughts to go beyond kissing a boy. She was not even close to prepared to delve into that physical realm of a relationship. Now, knowing that Yang had done more with boys, her mind was going to those places. It terrified her! What if Neptune tried to go to that place? What if he tried to touch her-'I would slap him!'
"I'm not ready to do more than kiss Neptune. I'm-I'm not even sure I'm ready to kiss him." A pause and she moved her hands, pawing at the bottom of her skirt nervously. "Oh, God. Do you think he will try and do more than kiss me?" Finally her worried gaze shot up to Lilac.
"I meeean, boys will be boys!" A laugh, but when she realized just how frightened Weiss looked, she instantly got serious. "Look. If the jerk tries anything you don't want just tell me and I'll pummel him!"
That earned a smile from the heiress. "Thank you, you big brute."
"No prob." A wink.
Weiss rolled her eyes and coughed to clear her throat of the laugh crawling up it. She didn't want to get sidetracked from what they were talking about. It was truly sweet that Yang would beat Neptune up if he tried anything, and she knew those weren't empty promises. The brawler loved pummeling things any chance she got. But, the date was in a few hours and she really needed some advice on the topic at hand. A kiss. She expected it. Wanted it. Her first kiss. Romantic and loving like in all the movies.
She needed tonight to go perfectly.
"I fully expect a kiss at the end of the date. Any proper gentleman would do so..." Her voice trailed off and she tugged her bottom lip between her teeth, chewing at it in thought. Tonight he would be kissing her. His lips would be against hers, like in all the cheesy romance novels and movies. He would be her first. It was such a big night for her and she was scared to death.
"Annnnd, that's a bad thing?" Yang wasn't following along. She'd had her first kiss over a year ago. Since then she'd gone out to the bar and messed around with tons of guys. It was not that big of a deal to her. Never had been. Even the first time.
"No!" Weiss insisted. "No. It is definitely not a bad thing. I just, I have no clue how to kiss a boy. Neptune has been with other girls. What if I can't measure up?"
This was weird. Hearing the naturally confident woman talking down on herself like this. Had they entered an alternative dimension or something!?
"Oh, c'moon! You're Weiss Schnee! He's the one who should be worried 'bout measurin' up!"
"If you aren't going to actually help, then just leave me be!"
Yang was used to having the other girl snap at her. It happened on a regular basis. Weiss was frustrated and scared for her date tonight. She wasn't gonna take it personal. Hell, she never took it personal. Letting out a breath, she turned to face her white-haired friend, reaching up and cupping her cheeks with gloved hands. "I'm tryin' to help, Princess. Just tell me what you need!"
"I need-" Swallowing hard, she tried to look away, only to have strong hands hold her head in place. This position wasn't helping with her anxiety. Being forced to stare directly into those eyes as she talked about something so childish. Yang must have thought her so silly. Stupid. "I need to know how to do it."
"To do what?"
"Kiss."
Yang's brows knit together in genuine confusion. How could someone not know how to kiss? I mean, sure, she'd never done it before, but she'd seen people kiss! It was one of the easiest things in the world! This was Weiss, heiress of Schnee Dust Company, one of the top minds and fighters in all of Beacon Academy and she didn't know how to kiss?
"Seriously?" Insensitive? Probably.
"Yes! Seriously!" She shouted, trying to pull out of the brawler's grip, growing more and more frustrated and embarrassed by the minute. Was it really that crazy that she didn't know how to kiss a boy!? "I understand the concept, but I'm sure there is more to it than just pushing our lips together, right?"
"I mean, kinda. I dunno?" A sigh and she dropped her hands, releasing Weiss from her grip and starting to think.
'Oh, great. Yang has that thinking face on, which is never a good thing! Yang and thinking DO NOT go together well!'
"It ain't really that hard, y'know? I could just show ya before your big date!"
"Show me..." A pause for thought. "How?"
'You know you like the way it feels
Push back the spite, let's make a deal.'
