Huh, never thought I'd do a fic, focusing on these two together. But I guess when it comes to Fanfiction anything can happen.
Regardless; Hey everybody, Ace here, bringing you guys another RWBY fanfic for your enjoyment.
From the Writer's Studio that brought you "Strawberries & Lemons" Blackace70 is proud to present this new series.
A SNOWFLAKE AMONGST ROSES
Just like with my other series, this going to be a one-shot/drabble series. Taking place in my S&L AU. Focusing on the relationship between Garnet Rose (Male Ruby) and Weiss Schnee.
Please Note: This is NOT a White Rose fanfic. So when I say relationship, what I mean is a friendship, near sibling like bond between the two teens.
So for those expecting a romance series within this story. I'm sorry to say, do not get your hopes up. But I digress; in terms of actual pairings. While this isn't a Male!RubyxWeiss; they ARE paired up with other people. Like I said, this coincides with my Strawberries & Lemons verse. If you've read that story, then you know who they're with.
Now if there's nothing else, let's get this underway.

Chapter 1: Let's get along
"Hey Weiss, wait up!"
The white haired teen let out an irritable sigh as she slowed her pace down to allow the person that was following her to catch up. The person was none other than a slightly taller teenage boy who was roughly two years younger than her. He had a slightly unkempt blackish crimson red hair with silver eyes. He was currently wearing a light red hoodie with a white shirt that had a picture of Seras Victoria from Hellsing on it, gray camo-shorts, and a pair of red and black boots.
15-year old Garnet Rose slowly came to a stop as he hunched over to catch his breath. For someone who was wearing sandals. Weiss sure could walk fast.
"Is there something you need?" Weiss asked folding her arms. Wanting to be done with this conversation and the boy in question.
Unfortunately for her, it didn't seem like she would get that luxury, as Garnet said the following
"I just thought that maybe we could walk and talk some more." Garnet responded with a smile, that soon faltered seeing Weiss' raised brow "We uh, didn't really talk much after Yang introduced me to you and the others. And I want to change that."
Weiss let out a huff "Really?" She turned to start walking "Well, as much as this sounds tempting. I have other matters to attend to so...bye."
With that, Weiss started walking. Not waiting to hear Garnet's response. She assumed that the boy would leave her alone after that. So she was surprised (and mildly annoyed) when she saw him fall in step with her and started strolling casually with her.
"Can I help you?"
"Oh, I thought I could tag along and help out. After all, wouldn't you get your errands done faster if you had some extra help?" He beamed a smile to her, causing her to scowl
"Thanks but...no." She said bluntly, brushing him off once again
"H-Hey wait!"
Dear Oum, this guy was stubborn.
"What?!" She practically shouted at him, shocking and slightly scaring Garnet, as well as earning looks from everyone around them. But a quick glare sent the growing audience back on their way "What...do you want from me?"
"I...I wanted to actually say, sorry."
Weiss blinked in surprise, not expecting to hear that.
"I wanted to say sorry; for what happened on the first day in Beacon. Even though I had been rushing, I should've been paying attention to my surroundings. And even then at least I should've helped you up. Even if you were trying to kill me."
Garnet scratched his head "I guess what I'm trying to get at is that, I'm really sorry."
Weiss was speechless; here was Garnet. Someone who she had gotten off on a bad start with. And therefore, held nothing but contempt for him. Giving her a sincere apology for his actions. While she's heard some pretty half-hearted apologies in the past. Garnet's sounded not but absolutely remorseful. As if the whole thing had been eating him up inside since their encounter. For all she knew, it probably did.
Realizing that this had probably been his real intention the whole time. She started to feel guilty; she acted like a total bitch, for a lack of better term. All because of her inexcusable pettiness. Before she could delve deeper into it, Garnet spoke up once again.
"I'm not really expecting us to be friends. Heck, I'm not even expecting you to accept my apology." She winced at the unintentional jab "But I do hope that we can at least get along in the future, whenever that may be."
The teenage boy turned and gave a quick wave "Well, that's all I wanted to say Weiss. I'd better not keep you from your errands."
Before Garnet could even take two steps, a voice called out to him. Stopping him in his tracks.
"Hold it!"
Garnet looked back and was stunned to see Weiss marching up to him. Standing face to face, the Schnee heiress fiddled with the strap to her bag as she looked away. A slightly bashful look on her face.
"I suppose," She mumbled "I may have been a little harsh with you. Not just back then, but today as well. Honestly speaking, I didn't mean to cause the scene I did back the cafe. So you could say, I'm sorry too."
Garnet could only gape slightly at what he was hearing. From what Yang told him about Weiss, he hadn't been expecting her to acknowledge him when he wanted apologize, much less apologize back to him.
This was definitely a surprise. But by no means was it an unpleasant one.
Weiss clear her throat gaining the crimsonette's attention "Listen, I know I can off...strong towards others. And I can be socially awkward as well. But that doesn't mean I don't want to be friends. Contrary to what you may think, I actually do want to get along with you."
Garnet beamed "Really?!" He asked hopefully
Weiss nodded enthusiastically "Really; So...apology accepted?"
"Apology accepted?" Garnet said "And likewise?"
Weiss let out a giggle "Likewise"
With that out of the way. The two teenagers found themselves standing in a bit of an awkward silence. Only the sounds of the city background filling their ears.
"So, what now?" Garnet inquired
Weiss put a finger to her chin "Well, I don't know about you. But I feel like having another macchiato." She told him swaying a little from side to side "Wanna join me, I'll buy."
"Eh? Are you sure, I thought you had some things to take care of?"
"Oh, don't worry about that. I can put it off till tomorrow." She assured
Especially since her supposed errands were actually non-existent. But he didn't need to know that.
"But-"
"Now Garnet," Weiss smirked "Are you actually turning down a free generous offer? Where I'm going, they have the best chocolate chips cookies." She coaxed
That perked the 15-year old "Cookies?"
Weiss nodded "Possibly, the best ones you'll ever eat." She proclaimed "Well?"
Garnet looked thoughtful "Well, I guess if it's alright with you...why not?"
He then pumped his fist up "To a new friendship."
Despite being completely unethical, Weiss couldn't help but join in "Right, a new friendship." She said with a genuine smile on her face

"Huh, this might work out after all." Blake said impressed
Blake and Yang, along with Pyrrha, Velvet, and Nora were seated inside of Yang's car. Watching the interaction between Weiss and Garnet from afar.
"What I tell ya, instant friends." Yang told them proudly
"I knew Garnet had a welcoming aura to him. But I never imagined him befriending Weiss so easily." Pyrrha stated
"Especially with how cold Miss Grumpy can be." Nora added
"Hey guys, come on now." Velvet chastised softly, though she had a smile on her face.
"On another note," Yang spoke up "Regardless of how true some of those statements. I honestly feel that Weiss being friends with Garnet is a good things. This just might be the thing she needs. Even if she doesn't know it yet." She finished as she watched Garnet and Weiss start to walk off
The girls in her car all nodded in agreement.
"Now that, that's done with...wanna spy on Weiss and my boyfriend?"
Yang was met with various cheers and eagers nods from Pyrrha, Nora, and Velvet. And a blank look from Blake.
"Really?" The raven haired girl question
"Yeah," Yang chirped "Well?"
Blake maintained her look before sighing "Well, I could use some blackmail material."
"Great" the blonde started her car enthusiastically "All right girls, if you're ready. Let's go."
And with that, the girls drove off to witness the birth of a new friendship.
End
And with this, a new story is born. Not really a great start, I'll admit. But I promise that it'll get better as I go on.
Just like with my S&L, you are completely free to request any one-shots or drabbles you want to see between Garnet and Weiss. Just remember, keep it on friendship/sibling-like level. NO ROMANCE; but I can be a bit lenient to some affectionate hints, but nothing more.
Now if there is nothing else; As usual I hope you enjoyed the first one-shot. If you did, please be kind enough to leave a Fave/Follow/And or Review. And if you prefer, leave a suggestion and/or request on a one-shot or drabble you wish to see happen with Garnet and Weiss. Hm, gotta get used to this. But anyway, until then…
See you next time ^_^
