Weiss was nervous. Why? Ruby had invited her to visit her home back in Patch during the break, and she wasn't one to refuse her girlfriend. It didn't help that Ruby wanted to introduce Weiss to her father, either.
So when they were at the front door, Ruby holding onto Weiss's hand, the younger woman looked at her girlfriend.
"He's a really nice guy, Weiss. You don't have to be that nervous." Ruby grinned as she knocked on the door.
"Ruby… you know why I'm a little nervous… don't you…?" Weiss mumbled the last part and looked up when she saw the door opening.
"Hey Ruby, welcome ho…me… Who's this?" Tai blinked as he tilted his head.
Ruby grinned brightly. "This is Weiss! My partner!" She took Weiss's hand and pulled her closer. "Weiss, this is my dad!"
"I-It's nice to meet you, Mr…" Weiss hesitated for a moment but Tai shook his head.
"Please, just call me Tai! It's nice to finally meet you, Weiss! Ruby's told me a bit about you, and you really are as beautiful as she described." He grinned when he saw Ruby blushing.
"Dad!" Ruby pushed past him and walked with Weiss into the living room. "M-Make yourself at home, I'll bring you some coffee!"
Weiss nodded, watching her girlfriend speeding towards the kitchen and flinching a bit when Tai walked past her.
"Weiss? Are you alright?" Tai frowned, noticing her reaction when he passed by and scratching the back of his head. "I didn't scare you, did I?"
"Oh no." Weiss shook her head. "I'm just… not used to this." She admitted, looking down regretfully.
"Make yourself at home. We want you to feel comfortable here, after all." Tai grinned and patted her shoulder before walking towards the kitchen. "Ruby, wanna help me make some hamburgers for our guest?"
"Sure thing, dad!" Ruby made her way towards Weiss and handed her the cup of coffee before following after him. She stopped halfway and looked at Weiss. "Do you uh… wanna watch us make the burgers? Or do you wanna hang out in my room?" She wanted to help her father, but at the same time she didn't want to leave Weiss alone.
"I'll be fine on my own. Go help your father." Weiss forced a smile and waved her girlfriend off.
"O-Ok. We'll be back soon!" Ruby gave her a weak smile and ran after her father, having a feeling that Weiss was hiding something from her but couldn't figure out what.
As soon as Ruby left, Weiss frowned. She watched Ruby happily chatting with Tai as they were cooking outside and sighed. Weiss took a seat on the couch and took a sip of her coffee as she continued watching Ruby.
She couldn't remember the last time that she spent time with her father like this. All she remembered were stern words, and a lack of the warmth that she was feeling here. Weiss frowned and pulled her legs to her chest, wrapping her arms around them and hiding her face within her knees. She hated this feeling and she hated herself for feeling this way.
Ruby took a plate of hamburgers, worried about leaving her girlfriend alone for too long, and frowned at what she saw.
"Weiss?" she spoke gently as she set the plate down onto the coffee table and sat next to her, placing a hand onto her shoulder.
Weiss jumped at the sudden touch and looked towards her left where she saw Ruby's concerned eyes.
"Are you feeling alright? You should've told me if you weren't feeling that well!" Ruby pouted as she rubbed her shoulder.
"I-It's not that Ruby!" Weiss shook her head then looked away from her, feeling ashamed. "It's just…" She bit her lip, unsure of how to admit her feelings to her girlfriend.
Ruby frowned. "You can tell me…" she whispered as she watched Weiss carefully so that she could talk.
"…I'm jealous of your relationship with your father." Weiss sighed, burying her face so that she didn't have to look at Ruby's disappointed expression.
When she didn't hear anything from Ruby for a few minutes, Weiss risked a glance and just saw Ruby giving her a sad expression and was suddenly pulled into her arms.
"Marry me."
Weiss blushed madly and pulled away. "W-What?!" Was she being serious or…?
"I want you to marry me." Ruby started to blush. "T-That way, you can have a good dad and uh… I want you to have some type of good family relations, and dad's a really good guy and well…" she started to ramble to distract herself from the sudden confession.
Weiss soon realized that Ruby was trying to make her feel better and leaned close to kiss her on the lips.
"I'll think about it…" She paused then gave a sly smirk. "Until you get a formal ring, dolt."
Ruby blinked then grinned. "It shouldn't take too long! You better be ready for it!"
"I'll be waiting."
