My dear Ruby.
Sorry I'm a bit late. I had a awfully rough week, the people i work with are complete idiots!
I couldn't run and hide to write you there was so much to be done. Thankfully just the thought of you reading this letter and smiling gave me the strength to go trough with it.
Did you miss me? I really hope so, I certainly missed you... Well, I miss you.
You're the last thing on my mind at night. You fill every dream I have. You're the very first thing I think of when I wake up.
I hope I'm not scaring you with my words. I just want a day when it's just you and me. I just want a day when my heart can sing true. I pray every day that you'll tell me that you want me the same way I want you. I pray every day that you will one day be mine.
Valentine.
Ruby read the letter over and over in her head and squealed. It has been almost two weeks since the last one, she thought her Valentine got bored with her or that something happened, something bad... Anxiety makes people over think the worst sometimes.
«Is it the secret stalker guy again I take it?» Yang asked playfully. «Stop calling him that!» Ruby exclaimed. «Ruby is right, you're being offensive. He's just trying to be ni-...» Blake remarked before being interrupted. «Yeah! Stop it Yang! You don't know nothing about this person... He couldn't even be a guy in the first place!» Weiss roared, visibly flustered.
«What's that suppose to mean? Wha- Weiss what do you mean he could not be a guy? I mean, why would a girl write me in the first place?» Ruby muttered a bit confused by her friend statement.
«You think someone is trying to make fun of Ruby? Wait, do you know something we don't?» Blake exclaimed.
Weiss didn't answer, not that she had any to give... Yang was the first one to break the awkward silence with an equally awkward sentence. «Gee I hope is not one of those freaks... You know, the girl likes girl think... I mean yeah you can do whatever you want but still... Eww, gross!» She said with nonchalance like she was asking for the time.
Who would have known the temperature inside one room could drop so dramatically that the outside of the academy that was now covered in snow would be like the Bahamas confronted to the inside?
If you squint your eyes you can even see the stalagmites under Blake nose!
«Y-You... Brute! I can't even... AARGH! » Tiny tears prickled the white princess eyes, making them red and irritated. Her face red as well, with a very large vein in her neck that threaten to explode in the next few seconds. «What the hell is your problem now?» Yang snapped at her friend.
«My prob-... MY PROBLEM?! You are my problem! How can you be such a bigot? Who did I anger to be paired with such a troglody-... You know what? Screw this I'm going OUT!» Weiss shouted throwing her hands up in the air before storming out of the room headed who knows where.
«Weiss wait!» Blake exclaimed «You forgot... you coat.» she said before dashing after her friend.
«What crawled up her shnee now?» Yang wondered. «Maybe we should go after her, it's already dark outside, she might get lost» Ruby replied. «Ugh, fiiiine» With a sigh the older one grabbed her coat as did her sister and they went off.
They spent hours looking for Weiss up and down, they searched everywhere: the dorms, the cafeteria, the classes, bathrooms, even the kitchen. Unfortunately the two sisters found no sign of her; as they went outside the cold January air hit them making them shiver all over.
«Jee, it's cold! I hope princess Popsicle not out here or we'll have to defrost her in the microwave.» Yang said sneering. «Don't even joke about it she might be hurt!» «Ooor, she went back to the dorm and we're out here freezing our asses like idiots!» The older one continued. They looked around a few minutes, white puffs of smoke came out of their mouth, the air was getting even colder now.
It didn't matter if they couldn't keep their eyes open or if their cheeks turned red and sore from the frostbite. They needed to find Weiss and soon!
«GUYS!» Blake approached waiving at them. «Blake! Did you find Weiss?» Ruby asked preoccupied. «No, listen... We need to find Goodwitch or someone to help us find her. I searched everywhere but nothing..» «What the fuck made her think it was a good idea to storm off like that? Like... "Oh yeah lets go for a stroll in the middle of fucking nowhere practicly half naked in my pajamas"» Yang commented in a mocking tone. «OH! And pray tell who's fault was that?» Blake replied.
«ENOUGH!» A loud shout echoed from the empty courtyard. The sound of clacking heels followed. «Professor Goodwitch!» Ruby exclaimed. «Well isn't this convenient?» Yang whispered leaning to Blake.
«What do you girls think you're doing at this time of night outside your dorm room?» «W-well.. You see..uuh...» The young rose voice trailed off before she could finish the sentence. That woman could be really intimidating sometimes. «Professor Goodwitch, Weiss is missing. We can't find her, we searched e-everywhere!» Blake blurted out in a very agitated state. « I've heard enough! Go back to your dorm this instant.»
«B-but Weiss! We need t-...» «Miss Shnee, is fine. We found her an hour ago, she was suffering from hypothermia. She will spend the night in the infirmary... Go. Back. To. Your. Dorm... NOW!» She cracked her riding crop menacing making the girls sprint like a pack of Ursa was going after them.
Nobody fucks with Goodwitch NOBODY!
After closing the door behind them, they changed and they went to bed «Goodwitch was piiiiiised!» Yang commented rolling on her side. «Shut up Yang!» The other two responded simultaneously.
They all drifted all to sleep eventually the only sound that could be heard in the room was Yang's snoring: it was loud enough to cover up the light creaking of the door.
Footsteps light as cat paws entered the room, this person definitely knew something about being stealthy, that's for sure. The sound of somebody rummaging through the desk drawers made Ruby stir in her slumber.
«Mmhh... Weiss... Is that you?» Her speech was slurred, she was still half asleep.«Shh... It's nothing... Go back to sleep» The voice whispered in her ear. She mumbled something and turned the other way as she dozed off again.
"Sweet dreams" Could be herd before the door closed again. The mysterious visitor disappeared into the dark, nobody noticed, nobody saw.
I imagined Weiss throwing up hands like "screw this shit, I'm out bitches" wearing the "cool" sunglasses.
