Live life to the fullest, otherwise you'll have nothing to flash before your eyes in your final moments, you'll have no reason to die smiling.
Ruby Rose, 16 year old huntress-in-training, was two years above everyone else she knew. Already heading to Beacon Academy, the most prestigious school in future hunter and huntress training. Some would say she was gifted, lucky maybe. Well, she didn't quite feel like either at the moment. The reason? She was pretty sure she had just ruined any chances of a friendship with the most drop-dead gorgeous girl she'd ever met. Weiss. The name was beautiful by itself, but the girl? The brunette never believed in love at first sight, but Weiss just kinda entered her life, changed that, then left. All because she hadn't been looking where she was going. 'Dammit Ruby.' She had always been bad at first impressions, but blowing someone up? That was like, the second worst introduction she'd ever given. On top of that, she had to face the heiress' wrath afterwards, and man, that's something she'd remember to avoid as much as possible. All in all, it was a pretty terrible day so far.
Though, the day wasn't exactly a total disaster, she met a neat guy named Jaune, he was nice enough, kinda awkward though. They both related when it came to people skills. Much needed improvement. Now Ruby would usually just take the hit and walk away, she had bigger things to worry about than a girl, but Weiss wouldn't leave her mind. That girl was so amazing. Her hair was so beautiful, elegant in every way, she just seemed so perfect in general without much needed effort. The red clad huntress would have to consciously avoid her though, because who was she kidding, there was no way the Schnee heiress swung that way. Still, Ruby wished for nothing more than a second chance at this morning as she walked towards the auditorium in Beacon.
After meeting up with Yang, the younger girl had started to get Weiss off her mind, for the moment at least. That was until she heard a yell from behind her that was all too familiar.
"Hey!" Weiss screamed, scaring Ruby half to death in the process. The brunette turned to see a still fuming heiress staring straight into her soul.
"Oh God it's happening agaaaain!" Ruby whined as she faced another verbal onslaught from the white haired girl. As Weiss continued to yell, the brunette couldn't help but look at the girl's lips. They were thin, beautiful, perfect. This seemed to be an ongoing trend with the heiress.
"Hey! Are you even listening?" Weiss basically spat. It effectively brought Ruby out of her lovesick stupor. She blinked a few times indicating she hadn't heard a thing the heiress had said. "Ugh, do you want to start making this up to me?"
"More than anything in the world." Ruby said, the sincerity in those words a bit too real. The brunette even felt her heart jump up a little at the offer to start over with the older girl.
"Never talk to me again." Weiss' words cut through Ruby's heart, effectively bringing it back down to where it went, she wouldn't show it though. She couldn't afford to show weakness to anyone. She just decided to give a small whine and listen as Professor Ozpin started speaking.
Ruby caught very little of the speech, going through every way this morning could've gone right. She just couldn't get her mind off the beautiful heiress, it was painful to know she already hated her.
After the speech, everyone just kinda went to do their own thing until the provided lunch. Yang had already left to go meet with her own friends so Ruby was left to wander, and she wasn't too keen on meeting new people, it seemed too dangerous at this point.
Ruby had to admit though, the roaming wasn't all that bad. Beacon was a beautiful place and it seemed there was always a new part to explore. She decided she'd head towards the fountain, a nice enough place as any to hang around.
Meanwhile, Weiss Schnee was dealing with an issue she wasn't quite used to, direct confrontation.
"What're you gonna do princess, call for daddy to come save you?" A tall male named Cardin questioned Weiss. Status wise, the heiress had so much more power than this idiot, but strength was something she lacked, shown clearly while being held by her arm by the bully. "Y'know, it's funny how you act so above everyone else when really, you're nothing more than a rich girl with a superiority complex." Cardin spat, he had an extreme distaste for the Schnee corporation, and Weiss would be the one who would suffer for it.
"Release me now you jerk!" Weiss screamed, maybe someone would've been able to help her, but Cardin had caught her by the fountain, which was completely void of people besides them at the moment. The hammer wielding boy sneered at her insult and continued to verbally assault the girl unfairly.
"That's the best you got? Listen, not all of us can have perfect lives like you. You probably didn't even earn your way here did you? Just bought your way in meanwhile I'm in debt because people like you take everything for yourselves and leave no opportunity for people like me!" Cardin grew angrier with every word as he violently shook the girls arm, putting Weiss in extreme pain.
"Ah! Dammit!" Weiss screamed in agony, hoping to any God out there that something would help her. Cardin quickly wrenched the heiress' arm upwards, hurting her even more and bringing her to his face.
"Last chance bitch, share some of your wealth with the ones you stole it from!" Cardin yelled right into the fragile girl's face. Weiss, being too stubborn for her own good, did the first thing that came to her mind.
She kicked him in the knee, hard.
"Ow! Fuck!" Cardin yelled as he threw Weiss backwards, trying to recover from his recently gained injury. As she tried to regain her footing while backpedaling, the white haired girl tripped on the fountain, feeling herself slowly fall backwards. She shut her eyes and braced for the slam of her head against the bottom of the marble structure that was only covered by a thin layer of water.
But that pain never came, it was replaced with the sound of a strong wind along with the feeling of her being placed on the ground. When Weiss opened her eyes, she saw rose petals floating down to the earth and Ruby standing above her, and unreadable face masking the red clad girl.
Before Weiss could respond, Ruby moved at lightning speeds towards the boy who had recently been harassing the older girl. All the heiress caught of the event was the brunette's hand grabbing the collar of Cardin's armor, and the next moment he was unconscious and sprawled across the floor, a dark bruise already forming on his forehead. Ruby turned to Weiss and approached her, offering her a hand up without changing her expression. Weiss gratefully took the hand but didn't know how to respond.
"Ruby, I-" She started, but was cut off by the brunette as she was brought up, still holding the girl's hand.
"Your arm looks quite messed up, let's get you to the infirmary." Ruby said, sporting a small smile. Weiss just nodded in agreement and let the girl walk her towards the building, still recovering from the recent events. It was at this time that the heiress took some time to look down at her arm and see the damage that'd been done. There were cuts and bruises along her forearm, but she would've sustained at the very least, a concussion if not for Ruby. Plus, who knew what Cardin would've done while she was unconscious, probably robbed her and thrown her off the land Beacon sat on. Weiss shuddered at the horrible thoughts entering her mind. She'd have to thank the brunette later, which would probably be extremely difficult considering she had just basically bullied the girl. Which got Weiss thinking…
Why did Ruby do that for her? She had already been so mean to the girl just because she made a slight mistake. Weiss hadn't had something that selfless done for her by anyone, much less by someone who she treated like an idiot. Maybe Ruby wasn't all that bad, just a little childish, but tolerable.
She'd have to think more about it later as the brunette led her to the infirmary. The two didn't speak the whole way there.
After Ruby dropped Weiss off at the infirmary, giving the Beacon medical staff a brief summary of what happened, including mentioning the unconscious guy by the fountain, the brunette went back to roaming around. She finally had time to process what had just happened. She had seen a guy, apparently named Cardin as she was informed by Weiss, hurting said heiress. Something within the brunette kinda snapped when she saw that, and caused her to start running towards the two, but she used her semblance to get there in an instant when she saw the older girl falling.
Without even thinking she saved the girl who had been horrible to her from one hell of a nasty fall. Sure, if Weiss was falling on her back it wouldn't have been a big issue, but this was head first. Plus, judging from the bruises, it seems her aura level must've already been drained by the time Ruby had come to her aid. Maybe it was just her instinct to protect people, or her weird crush for the heiress? she wasn't sure, but she wouldn't let the girl get hurt again, 'No matter what.' After thinking things over for a bit, Ruby started heading towards the cafeteria, hoping to not have to deal with anymore fear inducing situations for the rest of the day.
As Ruby walked out of the food line, she was waved down by Yang. The brunette quickly made her way over to her sister, glad to see a familiar face around here.
"Hey Rubes, how's your day been so far?" Yang asked, smiling at Ruby slightly. This, however, only earned her a scowl from the red clad girl.
"Not great after you ditched me!" Ruby almost growled, too bad she was naturally adorable, it made it difficult for anyone, including Yang, to take her seriously. "I guess something did go moderately well though…"
"That's good to hear! What, may I ask, went so well?" The brawler questioned, causing the brunette to mentally go over the events, once again, that had transpired about an hour or so ago.
"Well do you remember that girl, Weiss?" Ruby asked, Yang nodded in response and the brunette tried to form her recounts of the situation into words. "Well basically-" Ruby cut herself off when she spotted white out of the corner of her eye, she turned to see an heiress approaching her at a brisk pace. It seemed almost angry, and the glare she was receiving would've scared her too if she hadn't been more worried about the bandages she spotted around the girls arms. Yang turned as well and quickly took notice of the white-haired girl approaching.
"Uh oh." The blonde worried, but could tell Ruby was prepared to deal with Weiss this time, she didn't look worried at all. The ice queen finally reached the brunette and simply stopped in front of her and stared down for a moment.
"Ruby, what you did…" Weiss started, an expression that meant trouble dawning the girl's face. "It was reckless, childish, put you in danger and could still get you in major trouble…" The heiress was getting angrier with every word but took a breath and calmed herself down. "But, you did save me, both from severe injuries and an angry and dangerous person. So…" Weiss' breath hitched as she tried to get the words out, a hint of pink adorning her face.
"Soooooo?" Ruby inquired, noting the blush on the heiress even as she tried to hide it by turning her head. Weiss took one more breath before continuing.
"So, I'd like t-to start over, possibly over a dinner in V-Vale tonight, anywhere you'd like. M-my treat." Weiss finished before quickly becoming embarrassed and sputtering out her next words, her blush growing all the while. "I-I mean, if th-that's okay w-with you."
Ruby was dumbfounded, Weiss was apologizing, or at least trying to, and was offering her a night in Vale along with a chance to start over. The brunette was overflowing with joy. "Really?! I'd love to Weiss!" Ruby exclaimed, putting the heiress in a calmer state than before. Still though, she could feel that damn heat radiating on her face.
"Thank you Ruby, be ready by 7:30 and meet me by the fountain." Weiss said swiftly before turning on her heel and walking away as briskly as she came, covering her face due to the pink that still tinted it. The younger girl just smiled to herself until she remembered Yang was there. Said blonde's jaw was dropped before a wicked grin formed on her face.
"Wow Rubes, first day and you already got yourself a date with a hot chick." Yang teased, immediately causing Ruby to blush immensely before yelling back.
"It's not a date Yang!"
'Dammit dammit dammit! What were you thinking!' Weiss yelled at herself in her head. On her way to the cafeteria, she had planned to apologize to Ruby and give her another chance, not borderline ask the girl on a date! And of all times the brunette's sister was there! She hadn't seen much of the blonde, but she heard her while walking away from Ruby. There was no way the heiress would ever live this down.
Weiss calmed herself as she stopped walking, managing to think straight about her upcoming events.
"No matter, I promised her a night out, so I'll have to go through with it." The heiress concluded aloud, mentally preparing herself for the upcoming night.
Later that evening, Weiss sat at the fountain, trying to keep memories of the last time she was here out of her head. her bandages had now removed and her wounds were healing fast. That was the first time anyone had ever been that violent towards her. Well, first non-Schnee. Sure people hated her but no one ever directly did anything to her about it, no one wanted to lose everything they had. What was dangerous about Cardin, was that he had nothing to lose due to the heiress' father. He had already lost everything so he wasn't scared to hurt her in order to gain. She would have to be careful in this school due to him, he most likely wasn't done.
Weiss was brought out her reverie by a bouncing red huntress approaching her.
"Heya Weiss!" Ruby greeted cheerfully, the older girl nodded calmly but was feeling slightly uneasy. She felt... guilty for what she had done to the younger girl this morning, and a tiny voice in the back of her head told her the brunette hated her. It made logical sense, but it still hurt all the same.
"Hello." She managed calmly, despite her best efforts though, Ruby saw through her tranquil facade. The brunette gave a skeptical look but decided to leave it at that for now. "Did you have any place in mind for our night out?"
"Jeez Weiss you make it sound like we're going out on a date." The brunette laughed, causing Weiss to blush profusely and pout. Ruby took note that the heiress' pouting was one of the cutest things she'd ever seen.
"Just pick a place you dolt!" Weiss retorted shortly, turning away from the younger huntress, only causing Ruby to laugh more before calming down and finally responding.
"Well, I did have one place in mind…"
"A pizza place? Really?" Weiss dead-panned, the brunette honestly confused her.
"What's wrong with pizza?!" Ruby asked, sounding almost offended. The older of the two held the bridge of her nose between her pointer and thumb to stop the oncoming migraine rushing to her head.
"Ruby, we could've gone anywhere, since I have basically no spending limit, and you chose a cheap pizza place." Weiss said flatly, sounding disappointed more than anything.
"I don't like fancy food. Plus, let's be honest, I don't fit into a crowd of rich people." Ruby replied simply, choosing a booth to sit at, Weiss close behind her.
"Still, this seems like a bit of a waste of a free meal." The heiress tried, Ruby just shook her head and sat down, ushering Weiss to do the same. She did, soon having a menu placed in front of her by a waiter. The older girl was mostly disgusted by the greasy foods pictured on the menu she saw, but she settled for a cheese pizza, small. Ruby was flabbergasted by the tiny amount of food the girl in front of her had ordered.
"A large meat lovers, extra cheese and stuffed crust please." The brunette ordered, earning a shocked expression from Weiss.
"Please tell me that isn't all for you." The heiress looked horrified at the amount of food Ruby was daring to eat. The younger girl just gave her a confused look.
"That's my usual Weiss." The heiress was dumbfounded, taking a second to glance at Ruby's figure. Just a little longer than she meant to. She brushed it off and returned to the conversation at hand.
"How do you stay so, y'know… Thin?" Weiss asked, turning away and growing quieter with each word due to embarrassment. It wasn't exactly a question to ask someone she had just met. Ruby seemed unaffected by how personal it was though.
"I… don't know." The brunette trailed off, just as confused. Weiss almost giggled at the girl's expression, but stopped herself short. She wasn't sure why, but Ruby seemed to soften her just a bit. She'd never admit it to the girl though. "Fast metabolism I'm guessing." The younger girl said, before noticing the food being placed in front of them. "Yaaaaaaayyyyy!" The silver-eyed girl nearly jumped out of her seat. Ruby's life was run by three core things; her cloak, Crescent Rose, and food, mostly sugary snacks though.
"Oh joy…" Weiss said, not daring to touch the greasy and extremely unhealthy food lying in front of her. It just looked so... inedible. She wasn't sure how people could eat something that literally shouted fat. Ruby, on the other hand, had wasted no time digging into the cheesy food. The white haired girl decided she'd try it. 'For Ruby.'
Weiss took a single bite of her small pizza, and noticed two things at that moment. One, Ruby had torn through a whole fourth of her pizza by the time she took a bite, and two, this… Wasn't half bad. Sure, she was going to have an extreme disagreement with her stomach later, but maybe eating this… Stuff, wasn't so bad. The heiress would have to ask Ruby on another one of these nights again. She immediately had to hide her face as she felt heat rushing to it. 'I can't think straight with her around me!' The older girl said in her head. She was actually considering asking this, this dolt, on another date. Weiss was able to calm herself down, looking back at Ruby who had just finished her last piece of pizza. The rose girl gave a happy sigh as she patted her belly, completely content.
Weiss subconsciously grinned at this display, Ruby did it rather cutely. Only a little though!
After Weiss finished, Ruby called for the bill. The brunette was slightly impatient due to the fact the older of the two had taken her time eating, and if it was anyone else, the brunette would've moaned and groaned, wanting to do something more fun. The person she was with seemed to be the only exception. Something about Weiss made Ruby okay with spending most of her time with the girl, no matter how snobby or rude she was sometimes… most of the time. The two had just been having some bland conversation until Weiss decided to bring it in a new direction..
"Well Ruby, it's been a fun night, but I think we should start heading back. We do have to be back by 10, and the last flight that leaves before then is scheduled for 9:30." The heiress said, earning a slightly disappointed look from Ruby. It was almost too much for Weiss to handle. It caused her to let her mind take control and say what she didn't mean to. "M-maybe we can do this again s-sometime?" The brunette immediately perked up and gave the white-haired girl a huge grin.
"Really?!" Ruby asked excitedly. Weiss simply nodded and the red-clad girl had to stop herself from giving the older girl in front of her a hug then and there. She was lucky enough to have gotten on good terms with the heiress, physical contact would be a whole other gap to cross. Needless to say, Weiss was pleased with the happiness she had caused the brunette. Why though, she wasn't exactly sure.
As the bill was placed on their table, Weiss went to grab her wallet, only to hear a bang and see Ruby had slammed 40 lien on the table. The heiress would have objected to the girl paying if she'd of had time to process what was happening. By the time she had come to realize this though, Ruby had already pulled her out of the restaurant, borderline dragging the stunned girl. Weiss didn't say anything for the moment, just followed as the younger girl continued to lead her through the streets of Vale towards the docks so they could be transported back to Beacon.
After a bit of walking, conversation started up, just about home life and upcoming events at Beacon. Until then Weiss hadn't brought up the fact Ruby had paid for the night that she had promised. Sure, the heiress had a fun-filled night with the rose girl, but she felt terrible about how much Ruby had done for her. Saving her from Cardin, giving her a fun night, and on top of it all, the brunette paid. She paid for Weiss Schnee, the richest girl in Beacon! It just confused her the more she thought about it. She had to ask.
"Hey Ruby, mind if I ask you something?" Weiss spoke up. Ruby looked over to the older girl, hoping she wasn't going to be scolded for paying for the dinner.
"Go for it." Was the brunette's reply. Might as well get all the Weiss-y stuff out of the way before she could move on with the girl.
"Why did you save me from Cardin?" Weiss asked. Ruby wasn't expecting that question, it even threw her off guard for a bit. Anyone would have, right? Then again the heiress had grown up, as the younger girl had come to learn, without people really being there for her.
"Well, why wouldn't I have?" Ruby answered with another question. The white-haired girl started to get a little frustrated, she could usually figure out anyone, not this girl.
"Well, at first I just assumed you were after my money like most, but you just paid. You paid for me! So now I have no idea why you would've saved me or helped me, or agreed to come to this!" Weiss stomped her foot in frustration. Ruby had to stop herself from giggling at the adorable scene in front of her.
"Weiss, you could be the richest person in the world or the poorest person in the world, I wouldn't care." Ruby took a minute to stop and smile at the heiress looking at her. "You may have quite the temper, but I'm not after you for your money. I can tell there's a kind and sweet person hiding within you."
"What do you mean by that?!" Weiss said defensively, feeling like she was being looked through by this girl.
"I mean, I don't care what your status or fortune is, I just want to be your friend." Ruby said, still adorning a beautiful smile. Weiss blushed slightly at this before both girls continued to walk in silence. Thoughts swirled in the older girl's mind, as did they the brunette's. They both really weren't sure what terms they were on with each other. Ruby feared losing the progress they'd already made, and Weiss feared being questioned about it. Unfortunately, one of the duo's fears was about to become reality.
Ruby stopped dead in her tracks. "Weiss, do you... hate me?" The brunette asked. Weiss stopped shortly after, not daring to look the younger girl in the eye out of shame. She had hated Ruby before tonight, just quickly assuming she was childish and clumsy. The dinner had shown her a different side of the girl though. Sure, some would argue it was still the same girl, but the brunette, when she was comfortable, was sweet, kind, selfless and endearing. Weiss definitely had hated the first impression Ruby gave her, but there was so much more to the girl than she had known, and probably so much more she still didn't. It intrigued her, made her comfortable around the cape wearing huntress.
"No, not at all Ruby. I'd like to… Apologize for my actions towards you earlier, I'll agree I sometimes have quite the temper. I actually wanted to ask you something." Weiss finished, turning to the brunette who had an anxious look on her face. "Would you want to start over and be… Friends?" Ruby's heart fluttered and the smile that adorned her barely fit her face.
"Weiss, I'd love to be your friend!" The scythe wielder exclaimed. It felt like a huge weight had been taken off of Weiss' shoulders as she sighed in relief. Ruby barely thought about her next action, too happy to think straight. As soon as she did it though, she was brought back to reality and her blood ran cold. The younger girl hugged Weiss. The heiress didn't move for a few seconds, stunned. She wasn't quite used to physical contact, but after getting her head wrapped around what was happening, the white haired girl made a critical decision, one that most likely set the coming future in stone.
Weiss Schnee, heiress to the Schnee Dust Company, hugged back.
Ruby's heart soared. Sure, to anyone else it was just a hug, but to the brunette it was a small victory. The heiress holding her felt so warm despite her icy outer layer. Ruby could tell there was more to Weiss than meets the eye, and she would do everything she could to learn what was really under that frigid demeanor.
As each of them released the embrace, Weiss took the time to look at her scroll, only to see the time was 9:25.
"RUBY! WE'RE GOING TO BE LATE!" The heiress screamed suddenly, shoving the screen in the brunette's face. Ruby only smirked slightly, moving into a position where she was slightly crouching and holding her arms out.
"Not if I can help it, hop on princess, bridal style." The brunette said, prompting Weiss to blush as she realized what Ruby meant. She had seen how fast the girl was, but this was embarrassing. Then again, it wasn't like she had a whole lot of options. The heiress was so caught up in her thoughts she didn't realize Ruby was blushing along with her.
"Y-you never speak o-of this to anyone." Weiss ordered while slightly stuttering, it wasn't something she did much before she met the girl offering to carry her. Ruby just giggled as the heiress climbed into her arms. "And d-don't call me princess!"
"Whatever you say ice queen, now hold on tight." The brunette teased before running forward at extreme speeds, turning into roses. As Weiss was carried by the petals, all she could feel was a sense of comfort and warmth. It would've been soothing if she wasn't currently screaming due to the speeds she was going.
"RUBY! STOOOOOOOP!" Was all that was heard through the moonlit streets of Vale.
Due to Ruby's speed, the duo arrived at the docks at 9:29, a minute before the departure of the last flight. Weiss, being Weiss, was a little upset at the girl but thanked her all the same. The flight back was mostly sitting silently next to each other. That was until the heiress felt a new weight upon her shoulders. That weight being Ruby's head.
"Ruby what are you-" Weiss cut herself off as she looked over to see the younger girl sleeping. Her semblance seemed to drain her more than she realized. 'Did that dolt really just pass out on me?' The heiress questioned to no one in particular but smiled all the same. She started battling between waking the girl or letting her sleep. The latter decision won out as Weiss sighed to herself and looked over at the resting Rose on her. 'She's kinda cute like this… Wait, what?!' The heiress brought her thoughts to a halt immediately as they traveled past where she wanted. That was definitely different for her. Then again, she seemed to do unusual things when around Ruby, like laugh a lot and smile often. It was different, it was… Nice.
Weiss shook her head quickly, not trusting nor understanding her mind at the moment. There was one thing she was sure of at the moment though, the ship had arrived at Beacon and it was time to wake Ruby up.
"Hey, Ruby, get up you dolt." Weiss said in a softer and sweeter voice than what she was used to, slightly nudging the brunette until her eyes started to flutter open. After Ruby awoke, her face went from tired to confused to fearful in just a few moments.
"Weiss! Ohmygodiamsosorry!" Ruby spoke at a messy speed making it nearly impossible to understand. The brunette was obviously embarrassed, shown by the red and pink spreading across her pale face. Weiss just giggled at the girl, calming her nerves. "I uh… Really am sorry about that Weiss, I didn't mean to drift off…"
"It's fine Ruby." The heiress said through giggles. all while giving the girl a reassuring smile. Ruby smiled back slightly, still tinted pink. "Now let's get going, fast, I don't want to be subjected to that semblance of yours any more than necessary." The brunette nodded and followed Weiss to all the way to the entrance of the sleeping quarters they were all provided. They each turned to each other as they stood outside the room.
"Thank you Weiss, I had a really fun night! I'd love to do it again sometime!" Ruby said, smiling shyly at the heiress in front of her.
"I'd like that as well." Weiss replied simply. It seemed almost like instinct as both of them moved forward into a calm and more comfortable hug than the last. Ruby was nearly exploding with joy as she felt the heiress embrace her. It was so natural, and gave her hope- even if small- for the both of them in the future. As both girls let go, they shared a smile between each other.
"Good luck tomorrow on the initiation, princess!" Ruby yelled back as she ran into the room. Weiss would've chased after her to chastise the girl for the nickname, but decided against it due to the blonde she knew was lurking in there. She instead walked over to her plentiful belongings and got ready to sleep.
Weiss laid down on her bedspread. Well, it was more like a miniature bed that seemed like, as some of the students around her described, a little much. As she did so she brought out a journal that was pleasantly designed with whites and blues along with the Schnee crest- a snowflake- adorning the front. The padlock with a number lock on it held tight so it was only accessible to the owner or anyone else who knew the code. The older girl put in the code and opened her personal journal, looking over the past few entries. Most of them just spoke of her excitement about heading to Beacon and her impatience in waiting to leave the Schnee Mansion. It wasn't exactly a happy place, rigid, cold and disciplined to extreme lengths. She found no happiness in the place after Winter left.
Weiss shook her head quickly, removing those memories from her head in order to make room for the new ones she'd be making here, at Beacon. 'With Ruby, hopefully.' The heiress took her pen and brought it down to the page, starting a new entry.
Dear Diary,
My first day of Beacon was quite… Eventful to say the least. I was blown up by some girl who is apparently here as a 16 year old, 2 years younger than everyone else. Long story there. I was also harassed by some undignified boy named Cardin, and I can't really blame him. Father took everything from the Winchester family because of a simple mistake. I wish I could change what he did but it's out of my control, I just have to avoid him for now. I'm just glad I was saved by Ruby, that's the girl I mentioned earlier. I wasn't very kind to her after her little mistake, and she borderline saved me from a lengthy hospital stay right before initiation, father would have not been pleased. I made it up to her, I think? She seemed happy by the end of the night after I brought her to dinner, but she paid. It turns out she isn't after my money, she just wants to be my friend. It's… different than what I'm used to, but I appreciate someone genuine nonetheless. I'll have to learn more about her eventually, I can tell there's something more under that kind demeanor, but I can't exactly force it out of her. Maybe I'll enjoy this whole friendship situation.
Weiss closed the journal, locked it and placed it back with the rest of her stuff. As she laid down, ready for sleep, she heard a whine across the room from an all too familiar voice. A certain brunette's.
"It wasn't a date Yaaaaang!" Weiss just giggled when she heard the voice of Ruby, obviously being teased by her sister. Yang, as she'd come to learn, thrived on teasing the younger girl.
"That girl is going to be the death of me." Weiss mumbled to herself as she closed her eyes, letting sleep take over and bring her to a nicer world. One where she was free of royal bonds and constant discipline. One where she didn't have to be Weiss Schnee, heiress to the Schnee Dust Company, just Weiss. This world was all she ever wanted, and Ruby seemed like the one gateway she'd get to this reality. These were her last thoughts as she finally drifted fully into this nicer world.
Oh this is such a pleasing feeling, I'm writing again. I used to write for the RWBY fandom way back when on a different account, but I can definitely say I've improved! I can't say whether I'll continue this or not, life's kind of a clutter right now and I'm using this as my reintroduction to writing, but if you guys like this enough I'll make it into my main focus story. I'm also gonna try some other ship stories such as Bumblebee and Renora, but Whiterose is kind of my favorite. Either way, review, don't be afraid to give me ideas and let me know if I should continue this! Love you all!
Before this becomes an issue, I should point out that this is technically an AU, for now it'll follow some plot points of the main series but there will be a lot less world drama and more friendship and relationship drama, that's all! One more thing for future reference, Blake didn't meet Weiss or Ruby yet in this timeline yet. Have a nice day!
