Weiss's breath hitched when she saw her. She scanned the girl who stood at her doorstep. For once, Ruby wasn't wearing her usual combat gear, instead she decided to wear a very slim fitting pair of black skinny jeans that fit perfectly. Weiss quickly noticed how well the jeans hugged Ruby's legs and curves.. she thought they fit very well. Ruby wore a simple red shirt, but Weiss was unable to make out the text that ran along it due to her jacket. It was a small black bubble jacket that Ruby paired with a vibrant red scarf. Her outfit was very simple, nothing too fancy, but seeing Ruby out of her combat gear made Weiss's face a deeper shade of red than Ruby's scarf. Weiss's face felt as hot as any summer day but she tried her hardest to stay calm.
"Are you ready to go Weiss?" Ruby asked very politely. Weiss felt as if the light was peeking through the curtains just right, and highlighting all of Ruby's facial features. Just then Weiss noticed Ruby was wearing makeup, the hooded girl never wore makeup. Not even to the Beacon Ball. The girl didn't have a lot on, but it brought in even brighter color to her two silver pools.
"Uh… yeah, of course." The girl stammered out, her voice barely audible. The tint on her face lowered slightly, now matching Ruby's scarf. Ruby quickly sidestepped away from the door allowing Weiss to exit team JNPR's dorm. The blast of cool air coming from the hallway did wonders for Weiss's nerves, finally cooling her down. The two girls quickly paced towards the port so they could catch an airship into downtown Vale. Weiss felt like a ship would never land, and she sat next to Ruby in what she would consider an unwanted silence. However, when she looked towards Ruby, she was smiling from cheek to cheek. Weiss's patience was finally rewarded when an airship landed, and everyone began boarding.
Ruby quickly grabbed Weiss's hand and spoke. "I don't want to lose you in this giant crowd." Her innocence came back for a moment and Weiss just about died at seeing Ruby like this.
Ruby led Weiss to a pair of seats so they could both face towards each other during the brief trip. Both girls looked at one another before Ruby finally spoke.
"Weiss you look beautiful. I'm really excited for tonight, and I'm really really glad you didn't turn me down." All of Ruby's childish characteristics seemed to disappear when she spoke. Weiss had at first thought of Ruby as a childish, hyperactive girl who made poor battlefield decisions. Once Weiss finally started working with the girl, she quickly found her first thoughts to be only slightly off.
"Thank you Ruby, I'm quite shocked you asked me out. I've always been a little… cold towards you, and I'm really really sorry. I wish I could take it back because you are wonderful, and beautiful… and" Weiss quickly began to sniffle, tears threatening to fall in the corner of her eye.
Ruby quickly noticed and pulled her into a tight hug. "
"It's okay Weiss, I know you're sorry and I forgive you. With your style of life, you sometimes have to be cold, it's perfectly human." Once Ruby had finished talking she attempted breaking the hug, only to have Weiss latch around her tighter. This was Weiss's way of showing her gratitude for understanding why she was so cold and distant at times.
The ship was already landing when Weiss finally released Ruby from her firm hold. The pair quickly left the ship, and started their stride towards Stafford's.
"Welcome to Stafford's!" A tall man, who looked a few years older than Weiss, stood tall. "Do you two have a reservation?"
Ruby quickly spoke. "Ah yes, it should be under Rose."
The man scanned until he found the name. "Right this way Ms. Rose."
The restaurant had a white, silver, and blue color scheme running throughout it. It was nothing fancy, and had a few sports jerseys hanging on the wall with the last name Stafford printed on the back. The color scheme was obviously influenced by this jersey, and Weiss hated that she didn't know who this Stafford person was.
"Here we are, a server will be right with you. Enjoy your meal." The young man quickly dashed away, pretending to tackle one of his coworkers on his way back to the front of the restaurant.
"He seemed really nice" Ruby beamed.
"He was something alright…"
While looking over the menu, Weiss quickly looked at Ruby. "Ruby, who's paying? Because some of this stuff is pretty expensive."
"Weiss don't worry about it. I want us to have a great time, get whatever you want." Ruby knew she had plenty of money. What she would never tell Weiss, is that she had been saving her money weeks prior to asking Weiss out.
"You're sure? I can pay for myself if you need. Or both of us even, its not big deal!" Weiss didn't want to take advantage of Ruby in any way possible. She didn't want to push away one of the few people who was actually interested in her for her, and not her wealth.
"Weiss, if you ask me about money again, I'll make you just get water and a slice of bread." Ruby then blew a raspberry, lightening the statement.
"Okay, I won't ask again dolt, sheesh." Weiss flashed a brief smile and continued looking over the menu.
Before any server came to the table, both Weiss and Ruby knew what they were going to order. Both of the girls made small talk about one of Port's many stories until the waitress came to the table.
"Welcome to Stafford's! What would you like order?" The waitress was emitting happiness as she spoke. Weiss quickly noticed as she spoke, the waitress's pitch rose. Ruby began her order first.
"I'd like the homemade Mac and Cheese, and a large glass of water please."
"And for you Miss?" She smiled as she spoke.
"I'd like a large chicken salad with a side of ranch please. Oh, and I would also like a glass of water."
The waitress quickly dashed off leaving the two girls to talk.
Ruby was making small talk until she cut herself off. She then spoke quickly.
"Hey, uhm Weiss, I know this is only our first date, and we are partners and stuff, but I was wondering maybe after this, if you wanted to be my girlfriend?" Ruby was tugging the bottom of her bubble jacket lightly, her eyes glued to her lap.
Weiss sat there dazed. Did she want to be Ruby's girlfriend? She did really like Ruby, but this was moving incredibly fast. What if things didn't work out? The girl finally came to a conclusion that she felt was best.
"How about, I give you an answer after dinner? Would that be okay?"
Ruby quickly nodded her head, happy that Weiss was even considering her offer. Ruby had very strong feelings for Weiss. Ever since initiation, Ruby had a very physical crush on Weiss, since she never really talked to her, but she always saw Weiss as this adorable girl. Once she finally started talking to Weiss, she realized she wanted to be with this person. Ruby always got excited just sitting on the same couch in the library when the two girls studied. Her heart would skip a beat when the two girls hands brushed each others when they would walk to class. Now here she was, having dinner with the heiress. Here she was on a date with the heiress!
The food came and both girls quickly ate their meals. Ruby finished hers first, but Weiss was a short second. Once they got the bill, Ruby didn't let Weiss touch it. She was too worried the heiress would stress herself out over the price for both of their meals.
Leaving the restaurant, night had fallen over the city. Street lights illuminated the faces of passing by people. Ruby reached for Weiss's hand, and Weiss never once argued. They walked to the port swinging their arms back and forth while their hands were locked together.
The mood was cut short when someone on the airship got a bad case of nausea. The poor girl made Juane look like he handled himself pretty well on airships.
Still in eachothers grip, the two girls made it to their dorm. Before entering Ruby tugged at Weiss's arm.
"Did you think it over? You know, the girlfriend thing?" Ruby's cheeks grew a very faint pink.
"Yes I have. Yes I will" Weiss said with a smile covering her face.
Ruby quickly wrapped her arms around the heiress's waist and spun her around. Thank yous, and your the bests, were escaping Ruby's mouth before she stopped spinning heiress.
"Don't ever do that again Ruby! I could have di…." Weiss's words were cut short when she looked up, her face incredibly close to Ruby's. Ruby made quick eye contact to check if what she wanted to do was okay with the heiress. She gave a quick nod and pulled the heiress in.
It was just a quick peck to her lips. It was the very definition of unromantic, but both girls loved every millisecond of it. Ruby went and her tiptoes and quickly kissed the heiress's forehead.
"C'mon, lets go see how my sister teases us about going out on a date." Ruby was almost chuckling she was so happy. She did it. She dreamed of kissing this beautiful girl. She finally did it. She opened the door and was quickly greeted.
"Blakey! Look! The two little love birds are home! How'd my little sister do on her very first date?" Yang pulled Ruby in, giving the little sister a small noogie.
Weiss looked at the two sisters wrestling. She briefly thought, "You have to share now Yang, she's ours." Weiss smiled at her thought and quickly went into the bathroom to change into her pajamas.
"This day couldn't have gone any better"
