Weiss laughs as she spins in the arms of her girlfriend Yang Xiao Long. Out on the town for a night of dancing and merriment to celebrate their two year anniversary, Weiss can't remember the last time she has had so much fun. It's a hot summer's night in Vale, and she and Yang both want to make it a night to remember.
The two of them had lost Ruby and Blake hours ago at some club or another, and the brawler and the former heiress had simply kept going. They now found themselves at a salsa club in the middle of Vale, not far from Junior's bar. To Weiss's surprise, Yang once again earns her dancing queen title as she spins her around and around, the hem of her white skirt spinning along with her. Stopping her spin, she presses herself back against Yang, their bodies moving in time together with the beat of the music that is blaring through the club's sound system. The two of them are so close that it seems as if they are one person, her hands wound around the brawler's waist as Yang's arms stay wrapped around her princess's shoulders.
The song reaches it's end, and the club full of dancers clap and cheer for a moment before the next song starts, but Weiss needs a drink. With a giggle and a smile, she pulls Yang towards the bar, her long white hair streaming behind her. There is a certain freedom that she has found ever since she was disowned by her dictator father, and she has a newfound zeal for enjoying life. All thanks to Yang.
"A mojito for me, and a strawberry sunrise for the most beautiful woman in Vale!" She orders enthusiastically as she feels a pair of lips press lightly to the back of her neck, causing her entire body to shiver in delight.
"Coming right up!" The bartender, an ox faunus by the horns on his head answers with a wink. No one gives the two of them a second glance in the predominantly faunus club anymore. They were well known in Vale, being two of the heroines of the battle of Beacon. Weiss especially is well known since she has become a media sensation for being a lesbian as well as an outspoken supporter of faunus rights. But right now, all Weiss wants to be is a woman in love, and at this club she and Yang both know they won't be swarmed by paparazzi or attention seekers.
They can just be Yang Xiao Long and Weiss. Just Weiss.
"It's a good thing we're on break, Princess." She hears the voice that sends shivers through her spine whisper into her ear. "Sooner or later we need to head back to Patch to get some Schneep."
Weiss whirls around and pulls her Dragon down into a kiss so full of passion Yang immediately melts into the shorter woman. "And just for that bad pun, you are going to give me one more dance before we leave you pun happy Dragon."
Yang's grin widens as she keeps her arms wrapped around her Princess. "I think I can manage one more dance for you then Princess." she replies with a wink. "But drinks first. And check on the the kittie and the bunny, will ya? I left my scroll at home."
"So did I Yang." She smiles gratefully as the bartender sets her mojito down before her. "It's our anniversary tonight, and I did not want to be disturbed."
Yang smiles and winks as the bartender reaches over slightly to hand her the Strawberry Sunrise. "Well hopefully our two favorite faunus teammates didn't end up in the pound."
Weiss groans before she takes a sip of her drink. "You owe me one hell of a last dance, you brute!"
"Oi." The bartender calls out gently to get their attention. "Is it true? Tonight's the anniversary of two of the boss's favorite customers?"
"Sure is! Two full years of lesbian love and hijinks!" Yang answers back with a grin.
"Indeed. I'm amazed my head hasn't exploded from all the bad jokes and puns yet." Weiss adds with a grin.
True to form, Yang follows through with her normal response by laying a hand across her heart in mock hurt. "You wound me Princess! I knew it wasn't Weiss of me to start dating you!"
The bartender chuckles as he slides the Lien cards back towards them. "You two are as fucking adorable as always. These are on the house, and I'll send the DJ a note telling him to get something special ready just for you two."
Weiss smiles as she slides the Lien cards back. "Keep them. Just split it between you and the DJ." She smiles as the Bartender takes them back, a grateful look on his face. The two of them stay at the bar for a short while, nursing their drinks while chatting amiably with this person or that person. Yang is her normal social butterfly self, while Weiss has gotten far more friendly and outgoing without the constant pressure of being a heiress constantly resting on her shoulders. And they stayed within arms length of each other the entire time, their hands clasped lightly together more often than not.
Feeling a tap on her shoulder, Weiss turns to see the bartender looking at her, a grin on his lips. "That special song is coming up Miss Weiss, and it's last call."
"Ok everyone!" The DJ suddenly announces from her booth. "It's last call! Time to get those last drinks before all the good little faunus boys and girls go home to get some sleep!" This statement is met with a chorus of groans along with scattered applause. "But before we all go, I got a special request. This one is for the Dragon and the Princess, so get out onto the dance floor and show us how it's done!"
Yang grins as she pulls Weiss back out onto the dance floor, Weiss laughing and following behind quickly. As soon as the deep bass and melodies start in the two of them begin to dance, Yang keeping her Princess's back pressed to her front, while Weiss runs one long slim arm around her neck while the other stays wrapped around Yang's arms. As the music reaches a crescendo, Weiss pulls her lover's head down to meet in a kiss full of passion as well as a promise for what is yet to come.
Weiss stopped wondering a while ago how she could be so happy, now she just never wants it to end.

Yang Xiao Long smiles as she feels the familiar warmth of Weiss snuggle in closer. They are laying on a pallet of soft blankets and furs in the middle of the living room of the house in Patch, enjoying the extended Winter Break they earned by completing their mission well ahead of schedule. Ruby and Blake opted to go to Menagerie to visit Blake's family, taking Zwei with them, and Taiyang is gone as well on an extended mission to Mistral that will last until after the Winter Break ends.
All of this combined meant the two young women find themselves alone to enjoy the peace and quiet of a cold winter's morning, wrapped up in every blanket they could find in the house. Yang isn't complaining of course, she adores her Princess and is still thanking whatever deity decided to let the stars align so they can have a private Yule day. Especially considering what she has planned for today.
Ruby had helped of course when she had told her adorable bunny faunus younger sister what she was planning, and what Ruby created for her older sister was nothing short of a masterpiece. Getting up slowly so as not to disturb a sleeping Weiss (No Grimm can stand against a sleepy, grumpy Weiss so she doesn't stand a chance of course) and pads quietly upstairs to Ruby's room. Looking swiftly through the pile of ammunition boxes, parts boxes for both Crescent Rose as well as Blake's Gambol Shroud, she finally finds the small, shoe sized box she is looking for. With a smile, she sneaks back downstairs quickly with her perfect gift for her Princess in hand.
To her surprise, she apparently isn't the only one who has been waiting for a private moment, as Weiss greets her sleepily from the middle of the nest, a box of her own sitting before her. Yang takes a moment to appreciate the sight before her. Her Princess has let her already long hair grow out more, and it now drapes across the blankets like a curtain of the finest white silks, while the most beautiful blue eyes she has ever seen blink at her sleepily. But the smile on Weiss's face is a smile that she has learned is only for her and her alone. And Yang can't help but stare at the vision of perfection sitting patiently for her.
"Are you enjoying gawking at me at this ungodly time of the morning, Dragon?"
Yang rubs the back of her head sheepishly as she she finally starts walking forward to sit next to Weiss. "Well yeah, I mean it's kind of impossible not to stare at perfection you know."
"Oh yes, I can agree on that as well. I am staring at perfection as we speak." Both women share a short sweet kiss which causes Yang's toes to curl before she breaks it herself.
"So, before we get wrapped up in a thing, want to open presents?" Yang grins as she waggles her eyebrows, causing the white haired Princess to snort and push her gently away.
"There is more to life than sex, my horny Dragon."
"Like what, my beautiful Princess?" Yang grins as she gets the expected rise from Weiss.
"Coffee, breakfast, a trip to the bathroom, opening presents, then perhaps some lovemaking before an open fire?" Weiss purrs out in response, cuddling into the golden haired woman as her fingers begin to trace small lines in her skin, causing her to shudder in response.
"Sold! But first, presents since we're already here!" Yang responds with a grin. If everything goes according to plan, they will be skipping straight to the lovemaking part next.
"As you wish, my precious Dragon. Well then, mine first." Weiss pushes the long box towards her, a small smile on her luscious lips. Yang takes it in both hands, ripping the wrapping paper apart in her eagerness to see what her Princess got her. With a gasp, she lifts the brand new brown leather duster out of the box, her own emblem of a burning heart emblazoned on the left breast.
"Wow Weiss, this must have cost you a fortune!"
"The cost is immaterial Yang. I simply wanted to give you something special this year. Especially considering the fact that you and your sister just rebuilt the engine on that death trap you adore riding on." Yang can't help but chuckle at the statement. Weiss loathes riding on Bumblebee, but doesn't have too many other choices since she was disowned. Blake and Ruby both have tried to teach her how to drive, but Weiss's road rage issues thus far have prevented her from learning to be an actual good driver. And as Blake pointed out after the last abortive lesson, there is nothing scarier than a short white haired woman yelling profanities at her fellow drivers and summoning all sorts of Grimm to try to clear the roads ahead of her. The Goliath had been Blake's last straw, and she now refuses to try to teach Weiss anymore.
Chuckling at the memory of having to bail an enraged Weiss and an embarrassed Blake out of jail, she puts the new duster to the side as she presents her Princess with the much smaller box. "Merry Yule, Weiss."
She sits patiently as Weiss opens her present carefully, cooing happily over the snowflake patterned wrapping paper, which she sets gently to the side as she opens the box. Her gasp of surprise brings a wider smile to Yang's face as she lifts the small statuette of a golden dragon up. Ruby had outdone herself, and it had cost Yang a small fortune to afford all the materials for it. The dragon itself appears to be reared back on it's haunches, while it's wings were spread as if ready to take flight. But the level of detail was incredible, as each scale appears to almost shine with an inner light, and the eyes themselves glimmer with the small diamonds set into them. But what makes the dragon stand out the most is the ring it clutches between its front claws, a ring made of gold, with an amethyst and a diamond set into the middle.
Weiss stares the ring in shock as Yang rises to one knee, her smile plastered across her face. "So Weiss, I gotta know something."
She watches as Weiss swallows nervously as she looks up at her. "Y-Yes Yang?"
"So I was wondering if you wanted to marry me? You know, make it a permanent thing?" Yang suddenly gets nervous as Weiss looks from her to the ring and back again, her beautiful blue eyes as wide as the pancakes their friend Nora lives off of. She starts to bite her lip as tears begin to fall from those sky blue orbs she adores. But her nervousness reaches its peak as Weiss opens her mouth to answer…...
