Prompt: Box
Weiss eyed the box on her bed, observing it's simple red wraps and green ribbon – a sign of the obvious.
She got a gift.
"Oh! I can't wait to see what's inside!" Ruby jumped above her, the supports of the bed ominously signaling it's strain but miraculously doing it's intended duty. "It must be awesome!"
She wondered when it's going to fail.
'And I never thought to move somewhere else – am I an idiot?'
"Relax Weiss-ypie, you're not gonna get crushed by a bed." Yang lazily quipped from the floor, a pile of magazines scattered all over the place. "At least – not now."
"Wow, what a reassuring notion, I'm so grateful."
Yang waved away the comment, diving back to her precious hair mags and humming something quick and full of short moans…..Weiss refocused at her box.
Carefully taking it into her hands, the Schnee heiress examined every detail she could visibly see – a simple white note with her name on it, expertly wrapped emerald green ribbon, velvet red wrapping with clear tape at the edges.
'And this tells me nothing significant.'
"What are you waiting for?!" Ruby jumped down and snatched the red gift deftly, "Is it a secret or something?"
Weiss growled and launched herself at her small leader, hugging her gift securely to her significantly sized…. – and retook her position on her bed, "I'm making sure it's nothing dangerous Ruby, not like you would understand that."
"Hey!"
Weiss shook it a few times, not really hearing anything banging towards the cardboard walls – cushioned or fitting snugly inside it the only explanation. She ignored Ruby's complaints and carefully removed the bright ribbon.
She felt a few stares trying to pierce her, Weiss lay facing away from her overbearing teammates and folded her knees to reduce the weird feeling inside her stomach.
'What could it be? From who? When? Why?' She peeled the tape one by one, 'Is it from Neptune?'
Weiss felt like her blood was trying to overwhelm her senses, her heartbeat a mile a minute. She carefully peeled off the clear tape, not wanting to damage the enigma in her hands.
As the red wrappers came of, a black box came into view, it's soft texture signaling some kind of jewelry inside it….
She took a deep breath-
A small soft earth brown stuffed bunny.
….huh.
She turned her head back towards her teammates, wondering why they were so quiet.
Each one of them minding their own business.
Even Ruby.
'Suspicious.' She thought, 'who in the world would give me a bunny?'
Turning back to her subject of the day, she carefully kept it close – not wanting her roommates to see anything yet and hugged the soft stuffed animal close, seeing a note folded behind it.
'hmm?'
When she read it :
I saw you the other day, walking alone. You seemed to be sad. So, I wanted to cheer you up a bit!
Hope it helps!
"…."
Weiss eyed the soft bunny, it's black bead eyes seemingly looking back and… trying to comfort her(OR SO SHE THOUGHT!)
"…." she realized it was too quiet again.
She turned around, watching her teammates blink simultaneously before realizing their situation.
The significantly sized student raised a delicate eyebrow.
Her team scrambled away.
'Should I be mad or something?'
She hugged the small bunny tighter.
'It does help a bit' she let a small smile show, her eyes crinkled softly at the edges. 'Whoever you are...'
"Thank you."
The bunny vibrated.
