RWBY is owned by Rooster Teeth, of which I am not a part of.
As a response to merendinoemiliano's review question, I am sorry to say that I am very busy right now dealing with real life problems whilst also writing this story. I may decide to pick that idea up some day (and I WILL credit you for it if I do) but I'd need to build a whole new backstory for the Schnees with your AU idea and I doubt I am in good condition to deal with more stuff on my plate (I kid you not, the Mother's Day story was a 2-hour, spur of the moment mess and many of the hours spent writing this fic's chapters are made in what little spare time I've had recently). Still, I have seen your many reviews on my works and I greatly appreciate your following; I was very happy to see someone consider one of my chapters as a gift :)
Of course, there are also other fanfics that I've thought of doing (one including a crossover with Code Lyoko, a possible sequel to Promise Ribbons and one for a completely different fandom) but all of that is on hold until I can finish this (by the 20th) and Promise Ribbons (by who knows). And, of course, once I have a consistently considerable amount of free time available.
Basically, what I'm saying is: Maybe one day, but not one soon.
May 16th: Double Dates
"Guys, I'm telling you. This place has the absolute sickest ice cream I've ever had." Sun surmised, his tail wrapping happily around Neptune's waist as he pulled his partner along.
Yang grinned back, the jokes practically writing itself. "I don't know, Sun; I bet Nep could really go for some Weiss cream right n-OWWW!"
The blonde soothed her arm. "What the heck, Princess?!"
The blue glare she was expecting never came, Weiss looking in the complete opposite direction. "If we have to deal with Monkey Boy's lame shenanigans, I'd prefer it if you at least tried to up the quality of your puns."
"I don't know, I thought it was pretty funny." The blue-haired boy chuckled as he nearly tripped over himself trying to keep pace with the excited Faunus.
Weiss's only response was to look down and blush.
The sight of the tiny girl's cheeks tinted pink made Yang's heart soar even as it crumbled. Weiss was adorable when she was embarrassed, but the fact that Neptune was the one making her blush just rubbed her the wrong way.
Admittedly, the fact that she'd promised to help her teammate get the attention of Mistral's very own Casanova (with the added insistence of Sun's help) might have made such a fact hypocritical… if it were not for the fact that the two blondes had planned this situation to make their teammates fall for THEM instead.
At the very least, the brawler wasn't barking up the wrong tree. Weiss definitely wasn't straight; at the very least, she was bisexual. Maybe she could pretend not to be checking out Blake as she did her makeup in the morning or claim decency for her scrambling under her own bedsheets when Yang came out of the shower and changed in the dorm room, but experience had taught the blonde girl what shy lesbians sounded like and if Weiss wasn't one…
As for Sun, it was a well-known fact that Neptune would hit on quite literally anything so that wasn't a major issue.
Sure, the technique was questionable but if Weiss didn't fall for her, that was just one heartbreak she'd have to deal with.
Yang gave off a subtle wink to Sun which he returned a second later. Operation Date-the-Matchmakers is a go!
"Seriously, you two are gonna LOVE this place." The leader exclaimed, throwing his arm around the other boy's shoulder. "The stuff is so good that people often order flavors they don't like because it just tastes BETTER here!" A toothy grin flashed from the boy's face as they rounded the street corner, the shop coming into full view.
"What are you gonna get, Weiss? Though, I bet I already know the answer…" The larger girl bent down to the heiress's level, whispering seductively in her ear, "Its Iceberg Freeze, isn't it?"
Weiss flushed harder than she could ever remember. "I swear, you're a freaking mongrel, you know that?!" Her blow was deflected this time by the cackling blonde, the taller girl sticking out her tongue teasingly.
In spite of the roll of his eyes, Neptune made a small smile, which was quickly replaced by a confused frown as his teammate suddenly pulled him forwards through the glass double doors into the ice cream parlor.
"Uh, don't you guys think we should get a larger bench?"
"Yeah, this is kind of… uncomfortable."
"Huh? What are you two talking about?"
"Yeah! We're all close friends, this is fine!"
Yang had to admit, even Neptune looked kinda cute all flustered like that.
The ice queen and the blue-haired boy were squished between the two beaming blondes on a park bench, both too busy staring at their laps sheepishly.
Weiss suddenly spoke up. "Uh, Neptune, your ice cream's melting!"
Slightly dazed, the boy shook himself. "Huh? Oh…" He looked down at the chocolate for a second before angling it towards the heiress's face. "Want some?"
Sweat suddenly built up on Yang's forehead. She knew the kid was suave, but she hadn't expected him to pull something like this whilst he was panicking internally.
Before the smaller girl could even open her mouth to reply, with all the grace of a shrieking Nevermore, Yang shot herself forward over her teammate to take a huge bite out of the cone. Neptune reeled back in surprise.
And understandable disgust.
For the first time in a while, Yang questioned her impulse behavior. Three pairs of blue eyes stared back at her; even Sun was shocked!
Lilac shifted nervously under the attention. "Uh…"
That's when she noticed that one pair of azure dulled into an almost trance-like state.
Her mind went blank as a tongue passed across on her cheek, only able to gape in… something as her snow-haired teammate removed a spot of the dessert from her face in a rather forward manner.
She could only look on as the heiress underwent a much slower and far more flushed reaction than hers.
"Uh, perhaps we should give you two a little privacy." Sun shuttered out, once again almost pulling Neptune's arm out of its socket as he dragged the barely conscious boy into a more secluded part of the park.
That left the two girls alone, and the embarrassment was so thick, the brawler could almost feel it in the air, suffocating her.
"W-Weiss…?" She managed, looking down at the back of the girl's head. She could hear the hitched breathing and that scared her more than anything her snow-haired teammate might say.
After a long pause, she heard Weiss practically whispering. 'D-did you really have to jump the gun like that?! Acting all cute and…'
Confusion crashed over her. "M-me? You're the one who…" Even if she'd consider herself bolder than most, there was no way Yang was going to say the right words out loud. "...jumped the gun with that stunt. I thought you were here after Neptune? Why were you blushing so much whenever he flirted with you?"
Blue came up to meet her gaze, the humiliation behind it obvious and palpable. "You… you oaf! I was turning crimson because of everything YOU said! Because YOU were whispering stuff in my ear! Because YOU were the one squishing into my side!" Her lips began to purse in anger. "To think, Neptune and I managed to organize this jealousy plan so perfectly only for you to come along and blindside me!"
Despite her stubbornness against any wrongdoings, her hands shot up to her face to hide her mortified look, quietly wishing that she'd just stayed at home, wrapped up in her blanket.
…
After a few awkward seconds of silence, Yang burst into laughter.
"Holy dust, snowflake! If I knew you were gonna pull the exact same thing I was, I wouldn't of even bothered trying anything!"
As Weiss released her face from her palms, her eyes wide with shock, she let out a small 'Eep!' as two large arms wrapped themselves around her, seconds before their lips touched. Though her mind was screaming, the blue eyes slowly fell, fingers coming up to thread through golden locks. Weiss's lips tasted like strawberry, the flavor of her ice cream, while Yang's obviously tasted like the chocolate that she'd stolen from Neptune.
Though both could easily have agreed that the other's lips tasted far better than the frozen treats.
…
As the two boys broke apart for air, Neptune spoke up. "Hey, Sun?"
"Hmm?"
"Do you feel like we're forgetting something?"
The Faunus's face twisted upwards in thought as he tried to recall jumbled memories.
"Oh, yeah. We forgot to pay Weiss back for the ice cream."
Both guys looked at each other for a few seconds.
"Meh, we can pay her back later."
Neptune smirked as he drew his head back in.
Sea Monkeys. 'Cause why not? I have many guilty pleasures. Was gonna do Arkos but these two seemed to fit better; after all, there's no two-way-attraction between either of those two and Weiss.
And I'd probably accidently end up killing Pyrrha by accident if she spent too much time in this fanfic.
