Ruby was nervous. She felt her stomach tie itself in knots and her heart quickened sweat rolling down her neck and chest. She was about to kiss Weiss Schnee…
It was a regular morning having breakfast. Ruby was eating some muffins with butter on them. She decided to skip pancakes for today and instead try something Weiss liked to eat. Today they had decided to have their first date. Mostly cause Blake and Yang were busy doing gods only knew what. But all in all it was a simple outing. Weiss was going to show her a bit of Atlas so it should be a good day.
Weiss was eating a cantaloupe and an english muffin with butter. She ate her food properly with as little effort as possible. The bread and butter melting in her mouth as she chewed it.
Ruby for her part couldn't wait to get the day started. So much so that she was shaking in her seat. Weiss saw this and finished her muffin.
"I guess you're ready to go then huh Ruby?" Weiss said as she cleaned her mouth softly with her napkin.
"Yes I'm excited to see Atlas and to spend time with you." Ruby said sincerely.
Weiss chuckled softly under her breath. She got up from the cafe chair and motioned for Ruby to follow her.
Ruby got up and followed Weiss excitedly. Weiss shook her head goodnaturedly as she walked towards the plaza. It had a very abstract sculpture in the middle. It was silver and had a light blue sheen to it. Ruby looked at it in awe. She looked upward and saw there were carts with all sorts of foods and even though she just ate she wanted to eat more. Weiss stopped her though and took her to a small history museum of Atlas.
"Come Ruby here you can see how Atlas progressed. As you can see it shows how my grandfather Nicholas Schnee started the mines below Atlas. It also says how the dust helped propel us forward and how they managed to bring Atlas to float. Isn't it amazing." Weiss told Ruby as she showed her small videos of the days of old in Atlas.
Ruby watched everything with rapt attention. She loved how passionate Weiss sounded if a little sad.
Ruby looked at Weiss and thought a good lunch was in order, her treat of course.
At the restaurant which was rather fancy but still within Ruby's means Weiss ordered a oranged chicken and green beans with mashed cauliflower. She also ordered a sparkling cider.
Ruby ordered parmesan chicken with spaghetti and meat sauce plus water.
Weiss looked at Ruby."This is rather nice of you Ruby. Thank you for inviting me"
"Its no problem Weiss I told you we wouldn't leave you alone , not for second"
"Yes I know" Weiss said swirling her drink in the glass. She took a sip and smiled at Ruby. Which was returned with a grin from the silver eyed girl.
When the food arrived each young lady started to dig into their food. Ruby eating at a much faster pace than Weiss, who was eating delicately.
As they are they both kept taking glances of each other at one point they both caught one another looking at the other. Their cheeks tinted with pink. Ruby smiled and Weiss shook her head. Once they finished eating Weiss invited Ruby for some crepes.
Weiss smiled as they walked side by side down the sidewalk. They got to a cart where they sold crepes. Weiss ordered Ruby a strawberry one and she got herself a blueberry one. They took a seat on a bench looking over the sky with the shattered moon shining upon them.
Weiss started eating as did Ruby.
"Mmmm these are so good Weiss. Thank you for buying one for me"
"It's no problem Ruby besides you invited me for lunch. Is the least I could do for you." Weiss whispered the last part her eyes shining When she saw a bit of cream on Ruby's cheek. She leaned in and licked off her.
Ruby looked at Weiss and Weiss looked at her. Ruby thought this is it, I can't hold it in any longer, and so she leaned in and kissed Weiss for the first time. Weiss closed her eyes and enjoyed Ruby's lips on hers. They were a bit dry but she didn't care. All she knew was this moment was perfect. When they parted Ruby blushed and swallowed she then looked at Weiss.
"I always wanted to do that, ever since you brought me my coffee back at Beacon. I...thought and still think you're beautiful inside and out. So will you let me continue to kiss you"
Weiss looked at Ruby deeply in her silver eyes. Her own icy blue eyes shining. She leaned in and kissed the rose petal leaving girl and sighed.
"I wouldn't have it any other way" Weiss whispered and thus kissed Ruby once more one of many more kisses to come.
