It had been a week since the incident at Forever Fall Forest and Weiss was feeling oddly sad. She liked the weird encounter they had even though they were both bleeding and hurt. The fact that Blake had questioned her the way she did proves that Adam and her did date at one point but that didn't bother her in the least. The way he seemed… he seemed nice compared to some of the guys Weiss had met before.
"What's wrong with you?"
Weiss snapped out of her thoughts and turned on the bed to stare at the blonde.
"Do what?"
"Are you ok?"
"Yea just thinking."
"The guy you saved?" Yang asked grinning.
"Actually… yes."
"Talk to me."
Weiss gave her a sheepish grin, "How can I trust you?"
"Because apparently he seems important to you. Look at you! You have barely moved from your bed all week."
"It's because it's more difficult than that…"
"You mean Blake hating on you?"
Weiss sat up, "What?"
"She thinks you made it up," Yang said shrugging her shoulders.
"Why would I make things up?" she asked.
"I have no idea but she's beyond pissed. Maybe… she tried to off someone?"
"I have no idea Yang but its crappy she'd think like that."
Weiss sighed and laid back down.
"Did you get a number?" Yang asked.
She laughed at her teammate, "No… We were too busy bleeding and hurting for that."
"Well… I don't know. Well Ima go meet everyone at the burger shop. You wanna come?"
"No. I think I'll go on a walk… Just don't tell anyone ok?" Weiss said with a pleading look in her eyes.
"Aye, aye captain!"
Yang bounced out of the room leaving Weiss behind with her thoughts. She changed her clothes and put on a black jacket and made her way out of the room. Maybe she'd see him again in the forest; she hoped that he would there waiting… smiling at her as she made her way up to him. She felt her face turn red but she shook the thoughts away.
She felt glad she brought Myrtenaster with her just in case like the last time. Weiss wasn't sure what to expect when she got there- maybe there was nothing there. She gripped her weapon and made her way across the field of flowers. It felt the walk there was going to talk forever but she knew it was always a thirty-minute walk. Weiss took a deep breath and entered the red forest.
It took another twenty minutes until she reached her special tree. She went to step again and she heard a tree branch crunch. She pulled out he rapier and held it out as a White Fang member set out of the door of the tree with a bottle of water. Weiss still held out her weapon waiting for the attack but the guy dropped the water instead.
"Wait! I'm not here to fight! My boss sent me here four days ago to wait for you!" he said waving his hands.
"You've been here four days?" Weiss asked lowering her weapon a little bit.
"Yea! Adam wanted to make sure you got his number so he could talk to you. We are very glad that you are interested in him!" the guy said.
"What? I'm human. I thought you guys hated people."
"Well it's a long story but Blake and Adam had a bad relationship with a lot of cheating on her end. Just please don't cheat on him!" the guy begged dropping to his knees.
"Oh well he never asked me out but I'm not talking to anyone else at the moment."
The guy smiled in relief, "That's great to hear Miss Weiss."
"What's your name?" Weiss asked putting her weapon away.
"Brad."
"Call me Weiss, Brad. It's nice to meet you," she said holding out her hand.
"Thank you Weiss," he said shaking her hand.
"So… Can I have his number?" she asked turning pink.
"OH! Yea! I hid it in your tree!"
Brad turned around and opened the tree door carefully. He pulled out a blue letter with a white rose on top of it. He handed it over to Weiss who took it carefully- she was almost shaking when she took it. She was nervous that she would even be texting someone who was part of a criminal organization. How would she hide this from her team- especially Blake?
"He drenched it in a special chemical to kill his scent off of it."
Weiss looked up, "Oh."
"Blake has a keen sense of smell so… so don't get caught. She's rather vicious when she's mad."
"Thank you… Here some money- get some food and tell Adam I will message him around midnight since it's Thursday and I don't need much sleep for school tomorrow."
"Yes ma'am. Goodnight."

Weiss watched as Brad left the forest a different direction and then sat down against her tree. The rose gave off a wonderful scent that made her smile. She wondered why he would give her such a pretty white rose- maybe it had to do with her hair color? She opened the letter slowly and saw he had hurried hand writing but she could still read it.
Dear Weiss,
It took me two days to decide if I wanted to talk to you or leave you alone. The kindness you showed me made me… feel something and I would like to talk to you more even though I might not get to see you that much.
I hope… You message me back Weiss.
-Adam-
1222-7789-5678
She smiled seeing the number- he just got the scroll so he could talk to her. Her heart pounded hard against her chest as folded it back up and put it into her jacket. She grinned; she had never been so happy before. She wanted to scream with delight like a mad person but it would attract Grimm.
Weiss returned to her dorm carrying the flower carefully. She opened the door and suddenly she was on the floor thanks to Ruby who squealed with delight upon her arrival. Weiss gave her a giant smile and turned pink looking at her team leader. Her eyes met with Yang's and she smiled more- Yang already knew.
There was no Blake.
"Where's Blake?" Weiss asked.
"On a date I guess."

Blake pulled on her underwear and sat on Velvet's bed looking at her girlfriend on the floor beside of her boyfriend. She had never been so thrilled in her life- she had always wanted both instead of just one. Sun pulled his condom off and threw it away into the trash can team CFVY had in their room. Blake pulled Velvet up for a kiss.
"Thanks guys I needed it."
Sun grinned, "I could tell. I'm bruised on my legs and my back is full of scratches."
"Sorry," Blake said smiling.
"I enjoyed myself too…" Velvet said drifting off to sleep.
"No, you can't sleep naked! I promised Coco we would vacate the room by eight. Let's shower and be on our way," Blake said smiling.
Sun picked her up and carried her to the bathroom as Blake started the shower. The three of them got in and started washing off together like they had done before. They giggled and threw soap suds at each other and finally rinsed off. It was barely 7:55 at night when they finished dressing. Blake took Velvet's hand and Sun took her other hand as they went down the hall.
"You guys wanna hang in my dorm?" Blake asked and they nodded in unison to her suggestion.
Blake put her hand on the door knob but her ears perked up to the giggling on the inside.
"Weiss! You met the guy again?!" Ruby cried and clapped excitedly.
"Well his… friend brought it to me. I just want to take things slow."
"I would just in case anything crazy happens."
Blake threw open the door in an angry rage.
"Who did you meet?!" she yelled at Weiss grabbing the front of her night gown.
"Wh-what?!"
"I heard it from out there!" she screamed.
Velvet and Sun stared at each other.
"Blake what's wrong?" Velvet asked.
"Why are you talking to him? Do you know what he does?!" she cried her eyes filling with angry tears.
Weiss sat there staring at her gripping the rose stem ignoring the blood beginning to pool in her hand. Blake's eyes fell down to the flower and her eyes became wide.
"Did he give that to you?" she hissed.
In all the years that they had spent together Adam had never given her flowers or even a letter. What made one bratty princess so special that she could get both? She was so furious she almost wanted to beat Weiss to a pulp- she had every right to be angry. They just barely broke up and he's over here talking to her teammate! The nerve of that asshole!
"Blake why are you so angry? You broke up with him remember?" Sun said tapping her shoulder.
Velvet looked close to tears.
"Hey why are you getting so mad? This guy likes Weiss and she may never be with anyone else because she's so princess-y!" Ruby cried standing up.
Weiss shook her head at Ruby's failed attempt at sticking up for her.
"Blake just relax," Yang said, "Are you in love with this guy or what?"
Blake shook her head and turned around, "Do what you like. Don't blame me when it ends in failure."

It was almost midnight and Blake never came back. She probably stayed in team CFVY's room for the night. I can't believe how mad she was at me. I wonder if I should ask Adam about their relationship now and get it over with. Her mind flashed back to when he was silently crying to what his henchmen were saying. She felt horrible…
Weiss took a deep breath and pulled out her scroll. This was it… This would decide the way her and Blake's friendship went and if Adam could be trusted even though he was the head of the White Fang. The only thing she typed: It's Weiss. Are you awake? Her hands began to shake as she hit the send button.
The pounding of her own heart was deafening. She couldn't even think straight- ding!
She looked down and saw it said 1 new message. She hit the open button and began smiling.
A: Hey Weiss. I was wondering if you were going to message me. How is everything?
W: I didn't tell anyone anything really but Blake already knew but I can't figure out how.
A: She broke up with me a short time before you saved me.
W: Oh…
A: I'm sorry I didn't tell you.
W: it's ok. At least I know now. She seems pretty mad though.
A: I wonder why.
W: I haven't a clue. So what… should we talk about?
There was long pause.
A: As long as it isn't about other guys or clothes we are good lol
Weiss giggled softly.
W: Got it. So… Is Blake your only ex?
A: Yes, technically.
W: What does that mean?
A: I never had a girlfriend except for Blake but I have slept with other people. Don't worry I don't have anything for you to worry about.
Weiss felt her face glow bright red. So he was more experienced than she thought.
W: Oh
A: Does that bother you?
W: No.
A: I forgot! You're a virgin lol
Weiss felt her face turn red again.
A: I won't force things like that on you ok? So tell me about yourself.
Weiss tapped her lips. There wasn't much without making her look like a spoiled brat.
W: I don't know if you'd wanna hear about it…
A: because it makes you look like a spoiled human?
W: yea…
A: I don't care tell me.
W: Well I spent most of my childhood alone. My older sister was always at school and studying in her spare time. I stayed in my room learning to sing better because I love it so much. I read a lot when I can and I always did my schoolwork on time… I like animals and I made my weapon Myrtenaster on my own about four years ago.
There was a five-minute pause. Weiss began to panic a little bit but then her phone dinged.
A: That's it? You never had fun?
W: I wasn't allowed too
A: You're kidding?
W: No. My childhood wasn't everything everyone thinks it is.
A: I'm sorry. Is that why you go to the forest?
W: Yes.
A: How are you feeling?
W: About?
A: Well you killed three Faunus… How do you feel about that?
Weiss stared at the scroll. She never gave it much thought after Blake nearly had a death grip on her arm in the infirmary. Her mind was so wrapped around their relationship she forgot about that. Her mind flickered over to Blake yelling at her earlier… What would Blake think about that? Why was Brad so easily ok with his leader for talking to her?
W: I hadn't thought about it. I meant to catch the forest on fire but I guess that method was just as effective…
A: I'm not mad. When it comes to survival we all do something we would never do on a regular basis.
W: You're really understanding for someone who was torn up just a week ago.
Weiss sat up staring at her scroll. Well what was his aim? Did- did he smell the attraction she had for him?!
A: I have been with Blake forever and I just had to accept she would never come back. I wasn't her first like she was mine and she always was the type to have lots of… partners. I mean I'm ok with it and everything except when we started dating. I wanted her to myself but after everything I just have to understand that she is who she is. Our relationship wasn't the best thing ever so… its ok.
W: I'm sorry
A: Hey it's fine and it was my fault. We just been together since we were kids.
Weiss sat down her scroll. She needed a minute. She was beginning to sound more like she was a rebound instead of a love interest. She needed to know where they stood or what he thought.
W: I have one question before I go to bed.
A: Yes?
She let out a shaky sigh and began typing her question.
W: So… where is this all going? Are we just friends?
There she did it. She wanted to die from the wait even though it was literally two minutes. Her heart nearly stopped as her scroll dinged!
A: Right now I'd like to be friends. For a human you sure have me surprised. Even after what you learned about me you didn't treat me any differently. I know what your family is famous for too… I guess Blake did one good thing then- she changed you.
Weiss smiled and hugged her scroll.
W: Thank you
A: Get some sleep princess. Good night
W: Good night Adam

Weiss woke up at 7:30 with a big smile on her face it even freaked Ruby out a little bit. Blake was giving her an evil look which didn't surprise her any. She wished she could see Adam but she knew that would be a little hard to do especially with Blake being the way she was. Weiss sighed and continued down to the mess hall alone. Just as she was about to enter the line a familiar black gloved hand stopped her in her tracks.
"Hello there, Ice Queen."
"Yang."
"Soooo I saw the cute smile on your face last night."
Weiss' face began turning red.
"I-I-
"I won't tell Blake anything. I want you to be happy and you seem to be a lot nicer than usual," she said with a smirk.
"Shut up-
"Shush… Now what happened?"
"We just talk about the stuff in the forest and Blake knowing… We decided to be friends at the moment."
Yang nodded in agreement, "I agree. They just broke up right? Sooo is he sexy?"
Weiss opened her mouth but then his stony eyes came to her mind and she started smiling.
"I thought so!" she squealed making Weiss smile.
They got their food and sat down but Weiss could feel those eyes… They were so full of hatred… She looked up from her tray to see Blake staring at her. They locked eyes not moving once even when Ruby joined them with a huge stack of pancakes. Apparently Ruby finally noticed the tension at the table and sighed.
"Really? It's breakfast!"
"I think she's stupid," Blake said.
"Then let me be stupid," Weiss said picking up her fork.
Blake moved so fast for Weiss to react. She grabbed her wrist with an iron grip making Weiss drop her fork. They locked eyes again but much to Blake's surprise she had gotten a reaction out of Weiss. Her blue eyes turned icy with rage and she was shaking. Out of nowhere Weiss gained some super human strength and pulled Blake across the table with her wrist. Weiss grabbed onto her collar and pulled her in close.
"I lived most of my life to where Winter would steal the guys I liked and I stayed quiet ignoring every boy that came my way. I saved his life and he might be your ex-boyfriend but you cheating on him three weeks before you dumped him correct? He just wants to be friends at the moment so you need to calm yourself and worry about what your lovers are doing correct?" she hissed.
"How do you-
"I don't know the whole story but at this point we are just friends. Back off and quit giving me dirty looks. We are teammates."
"You don't know him like I do-
"I know that."
Blake's eyes widened a little bit then she let go of Weiss' wrist and Weiss let go of her. Weiss stood up and straightened out her uniform.
I don't know him and yet I'm fighting to talk to him. What's wrong with me?
"Time for class," Weiss said cheerfully and started walking off. She ignored the fact half of the mess hall was watching them.
Ruby looked at Yang then at Blake, "Well! We will be late and you know how Weiss is when we are late!"
"Aren't you the team leader sis?" Yang said giving her a small smile.
"I am but we each play a special part here!" Ruby said standing up.

Blake sat beside of Weiss in Professor Peach's class for the first time in a week. Weiss smiled at Blake and Blake nodded to her. Weiss liked this class because it was more hands on and it was like a science class of some sort. Professor Peach was a beautiful woman who was short at 4'10 and her hair was the color of peaches with blonde streaks.
"Ok so today we are going to discuss Grimm and no I won't be going on to long stories about battling them either so you can relax. We are talk about why they disappear when you kill them and why they are here."
Weiss perked right up. Blake looked a little bored on the other hand.
"We've talk about this before!" someone said.
"Ah ok. Then come up here and teach me because I'd love to hear it," she said, her orange eyes flashing dangerously.
The student shut his mouth.
"That's what I thought. Now take out your notebooks. I want you to make a chart with: The name of the person who suggested it, the reason why and why it doesn't work. Every theory seems out there and can possibly be disproved because anything is possible."
"Are we going through everyone in the class?" someone else asked.
"Yes we are. I have permission to take up three periods. We have forty people and a lot of people may actually think alike and that will make it easier. Let's begin. Cardin?" Peach said smiling.
"I don't know. I never thought about it."
Peach shook her head, "You fight these beings but you don't think about them? Shameful."
Cardin turned red and started muttering under his breath.
-An hour later-
"Blake do you care to share your thoughts?" Peach asked smiling.
Half the class had agreed and disproved each theory easily.
"I don't know either. It's much like why there are Faunus and why are we here."
Professor Peach smiled, "I see. A deep thinker. Miss Schnee?"
"I think maybe that the Grimm are Dust that had combined and they reacted to the negative emotions the humans had. It's possible that the Grimm are tortured people that wanted revenge on the person that killed them. In my family there was Rikia Snowing who battled them and she died trying to study them with her friend Orda Rosewood.
(I'm reusing my OC's but giving them a different history and background because I love them so much and it makes this class easier with some history)
"That's correct. Rikia discovered they could use Dust and Orda was the first to use it to her advantage. Since we know souls are real and not science fiction this is possible."
"We are all made of Dust and when we die we all fade away but the Dust we produce can be used in battle as well. I think the Grimm are by products of souls with unfinished business and that's why are different Grimm types," Weiss said.
Professor Peach sat on her desk tapping her lips.
"What do you think Blake? Can you disprove this?"
"I think it's a good theory," Blake said smiling.
Peach nodded.
"Alright everyone! Next class we will discuss Faunus and how they came to be. If you skip my class, I will fail you! You are dismissed!"
Weiss stood up and Blake pulled her back down.
"Whatever you do don't make a mockery of my-
"I won't. All people have Faunus heritage… even mine."
Blake's eyebrows disappeared into her bangs, "How is that?"
"My ancestor, Rikia Snowing was a Faunus. That's why. I found out shortly after we found out about you. I guess my father was ashamed of it."

Weiss picked up her scroll and began typing.
W: Hi
She dropped the scroll beside of her waiting. She didn't think he would message her so quickly so she just laid there staring at Ruby's bed above her.
DING!
Weiss nearly jumped out of her bed. She grabbed the scroll quickly and looked.
A: I have something for you in your tree when you can make it.
Amvmaster thank you for approving of the ship lol HHH1 I kinda wanted things to go by fast but for certain reasons and you will soon see why. I did it I do not care I love my Rikia and Orda but I decided to give them a better more slightly happier background than they endured in Dark World. To everyone who favorites, followed me or my story thank you lol I was sitting there working on my chapter and my phone literally exploded in notifications it made me very happy :) Until next time
