"Urgh," Weiss groaned, waking up with a mild headache. She tried to bring her hand to her her head in order to massage her temples, but found that it was an impossible task. 'What the?' she questioned, finding her arms bound behind her, her legs strapped to the chair she was sitting upon. And if that weren't all, she could feel what she assumed was a blindfold over her eyes. She had been kidnapped. Again.

"How many times is this going to happen?" she asked herself, believing this to be the fourteenth time this month. She shook away the thought, now was not the time to complain. She needed to gather information, what kind of rope was binding her? From what she could tell, it was the fines, gentle rope one could find. She could tell her blindfold was made of the world's finest silk, and finally she smelled something exquisite, the smell of finely cooked chicken and scented candles permeated the room.

She heard the door squeak open, someone gasping in shock. "Ah? Are you awake already?" a familiar voice called out, causing Weiss to groan.

'Of course this wasn't a normal abduction,' Weiss thought bitterly, though she knew she really should have assumed this from the start. Only one person in all of Atlas could get past her bodyguard Blake. Of course only one person would bind her with the greatest of care and set up a delicious dinner for her. Only one person would go so far to risk their lives for a measly dinner date.

Her insane stalker, Ruby Rose.

"Ah, by that grimace on your face, you really are awake," Ruby sang as she went to undo Weiss' bindings. "Sorry about tying you up, but you know, royal kidnapping-"

"Abduction," Weiss growled, earning a chuckle from Ruby.

"Right, royal abduction has a certain protocol, you know?" as soon as Ruby had finished untieing her she took Weiss' hands into her own. "I didn't hurt you, did I?" she asked gently, causing Weiss to blush.

"No, but I could do without the drugging," Weiss muttered, not bothering to fight back. Despite her annoyance with her stalker she rather disliked the idea of seeing the silver eyed girl hurt.

That and she secretly liked the attention, though she would never admit it.

"Sorry, but you know...protocol," Ruby said with a shrug, standing up and moving a table in front of Weiss. "Now, if you're not feeling groggy or anything, let's have some delicious chicken dinner with a nice, cold glass of milk."

"Wine is more romantic."

"Milk is more delicious," Ruby shot back with a grin, setting Weiss' chicken dinner and a baked potato in front of her. "And besides, it might help you grow bigger!" she teased, earning a glare from Weiss.

"I'm an inch taller than you-"

"In heels, and I'm two years younger than you," Ruby interrupted, smiling as she poured Weiss a glass of milk.

"Keep that up and I'll have you executed," Weiss growled, cutting a piece of chicken and shoving it into her mouth.

"No, you won't," Ruby said as she sat down, leaning on one arm as she gazed lovingly at Weiss.

"...No, I won't," Weiss muttered, unwilling to look into the other girl's eyes. 'Why does she have to be so cute?' Weiss lamented before deciding to just enjoy her little day off.

-LineBreak-

"And then, with the dragon distracted by Yang's yodeling, I flanked its side, put the saddle on it, and rode it all the way-"

"You fell off and Yang had to save you, didn't she?" Weiss interrupted, earning a glare from Ruby.

"Do you have to ruin all my stories?"

"Only when you lie," Weiss replied with a smirk. After dinner Ruby had taken her outside, revealing to her that they were currently on the outskirts of the capital. They had decided to go on a walk through the snow covered town, browsing through the wares, not looking for anything in particular.

"I don't lie, I just...embellish a little bit," Ruby said with a shrug.

"Aw, isn't that cute? You're expanding your vocabu-chuu!" Weiss sneezed before she could finish, much to her embarrassment.

"Too cold?" Had it been anyone else, Weiss would have taken that as condescending, but she knew by now that wasn't Ruby's intent.

"I might be coming down with something," she admitted quietly. "I should go home soon, I don't want to come down with a cold, plus my father must be worried by now."

"Oh, that's...fine," Ruby muttered, casting her eyes down. "I'll take you home now, make sure no bandits attack you," Ruby said as she wrapped her cloak around Weiss' shoulders.

"Hey, don't be like that," Weiss whispered, bringing Ruby underneath the cloak with her. "You can always kidnap me at any time, you know that. So cheer up," Weiss ordered, leaning into Ruby affectionately.

"...Heh, I thought I abducted you?" Ruby asked with a smile, earning a soft elbow to the ribs.

"Don't be a pest." Weiss couldn't help but smile despite herself. "Now take me home, before I actually catch a-chuu!"

"Yup, pretty sure you have a cold," Ruby nodded, earning a glare from Weiss. "Come on, Princess, if I sneak you in I might be able to cuddle with you!" and with that Ruby picked up Weiss bridal style and whisked her away towards the castle, intent on keeping her promise.

Well, she would have if Blake didn't catch her and ran her out of the castle. Ruby assumed it was because she trapped Blake in a box, but she couldn't be a hundred percent certain.
