The next morning, Ruby got up with a distinct feeling of victory. She examined her surroundings, noticing that Blake and Yang weren't in the room. The door to the room opened, revealing the perfection that was Weiss. She walked in with a tray of coffee for the two, compelling Ruby to hop down from her bunk to sit with Weiss on hers.

"Good morning Ruby." Weiss said, practically glowing with happiness.

"It really is Weiss. Thanks for bringing me some coffee too." Ruby said with a smile from ear to ear. Weiss sat down the tray on the nightstand next to the bed.

"No problem Ruby."

"Hey Weiss, do you know where Yang and Blake went?"

"I don't actually, I didn't see them in the cafeteria or in the halls. Maybe they won't be back for a while." Weiss said with a sinister smile.

"Um, Weiss. Do you want to talk about what happened last night?"

"What's there to talk about sweetheart?" Ruby's heart almost jumped at the sound of the heiress calling her sweetheart.

"Oh, I'm not sure. I just hoped you would maybe explain why you... Did it." Weiss took a sip of her coffee, thinking of what she would say to the young girl, staring at her with those silver eyes.

"Don't say it like you're scared of the word. We kissed Ruby, and I did it because I felt like you were talking too much."

"But, did you like it, or did you just do it to shut me up? I thought you had feelings for me. I could see it in your eyes..." Ruby said as her heart sank.

"Ruby calm down. I... Do have feelings or you. I'm not even sure how to explain it. Just know that you have a special in my heart that no one else could occupy. You're my little red rose." The words flowed out of Weiss' mouth so naturally, Ruby could do nothing but believe them. She could feel her cheeks grow a deep red.

"Weiss..." She tried to express herself and the happiness inside of her, but no words came out. Weiss could sense the sudden astonishment of her blushing leader. Her name really fits her.

Ruby almost jumped onto Weiss, giving her a big hug. When she pulled away from the hug, she kept her arms on Weiss' shoulders, staring into her eyes, lost in the blue ocean of perfection. Weiss felt paralyzed, in a purgatory of paradise. She felt her heart speed up so fast she thought it would jump out of her chest. She reached out and put her arms around Ruby's neck drawing her close.

Ruby could feel the breath of her dear partner on her cheeks, unsure of what to do next. She was the first to lean in, closing the short space between them. She could taste the sugar on her lips, only increasing the pleasure she already felt. She moved her hand behind Weiss' head, deepening the kiss she felt could last forever.

Weiss pulled away from the kiss first. Again Ruby couldn't help but yearn for more.

Weiss, playful as she was around Ruby, couldn't help but say, "You're getting better at this." Ruby didn't have a clue how to respond, and Weiss could sense the embarrassment on her face.

Weiss put her hand under Ruby's chin lifting her head up to meet her eyes.

"Hey, look at me."

"Hmm?"

"Sometimes I just like to joke, Ruby. Don't be so shy around me."

"Weiss, are we... Dating?"

Weiss turned her head away, and thought for a brief moment. She felt something special for Ruby, knowing she had never felt it for anyone else, but didn't know how her sister, or Blake would take it. Weiss took a gamble.

"I think we are, my little rose." Weiss said with a bright smile. "I think being with you is worth the trouble of acceptance by our peers. Knowing the effect of happiness we can have on each other, sparking something deep inside of us, the warmth of your touch."

Weiss never ceased to amaze Ruby with her use of words, dropping all defenses to the heiress in white, not knowing how one person could have such an impact on her life. She never really took the time to look her partner up and down, fully taking in her undeniable beauty.

"Well Ruby, are you gonna drink the coffee I brought you?"

"Oh, yes of course I am. Do you want to sit out by the fountain together?"

"I'd love to Ruby."

The two girls went outside to sit together by the fountain and drink their coffee together, discussing their plans for the day, and thinking out loud as to where Blake and Yang could be. They stayed outside for a good hour, enjoying their time together, spent looking into each others eyes, both wondering how the two girls, crazy in love, ended up together at a school of intense battle techniques. When they finished their time together, they went to get ready for another day at Beacon Academy.

What A Girl.
