A/N: I cry at how I can't update immediately. Hello to all those who read this story. If you have any comments, suggestions, or whatever you'd like to say with regard to this fanfiction, please do say so by leaving a review :) Thank you!
Weiss didn't respond to the kiss. She wasn't repulsed by it. She was just… frozen. Ruby, realizing that her kiss wasn't reciprocated, pulled back and closed her eyes. She was scared to see Weiss's reaction. A million thoughts ran through her mind. But among all those, fear was the one that topped. Ruby acted on her own impulses, not being able to resist Weiss. And now that she had done something, and by something, it meant she kissed Weiss, Ruby was scared that it could destroy whatever they've been building up together all this time.
But Ruby knew better. She had to calm herself down and be brave. She did this and she had to face it. She opened her eyes to see a blank expression on Weiss. It was as if Weiss's thought process stopped and she was just shocked. Her face wasn't contorted in disgust either. Taking that as somewhat an 'okay' sign, Ruby decided to speak up. "You don't… like it?", Ruby could have asked so many mire questions. She could have explained her actions. But second to her fear was her curiosity. She really wanted to know if Weiss was okay with this or not.
When Ruby spoke, Weiss was brought back to earth. Only then did it register to her that Ruby had kissed her. No, that wasn't quite correct. Ruby had taken her first kiss. And only now did Ruby's action seem to make sense. How she couldn't look Weiss in the eye, how when her cheeks would turn red, it was her blushing, how she had recklessly hurt herself, how she said her heart hurt… It was all because of Weiss. "You don't… like it?", Ruby asked. Hearing Ruby's voice brought her back to that moment. Weiss was pinned under Ruby and she kissed her.
Weiss immediately turned red. She touched her lips with her fingers, trying to feel the sensation of Ruby's lips on her again. However, Weiss was disappointed because she couldn't feel or relive the moment as detailed as she could because her thought process stopped when it happened. Annoyance over took her. Something screamed inside her to feel Ruby's lips against hers one more time. "Kiss me", Weiss tried to say. However, her voice was too soft. She was used to getting what she wanted, but asking for this sort of thing was something else.
"What? Sorry, Weiss, I couldn't hear you", Ruby said. "K-Kiss me..", Weiss was faltering now. She turned redder and she really wasn't comfortable asking for this. She didn't even know why she had to bear this embarrassment. "Weiss? I really can't -" "I said KISS ME, you dolt!", Weiss screamed. "…", Ruby fell silent, obviously shocked at Weiss's sudden demand. Weiss, realizing that she had just snapped, decided to explain herself. "I… I froze earlier… I couldn't tell if I liked it or not… So kiss me.. again…", She said.
Ruby's heart raced again. It beat wilder than it did when she kissed Weiss. Weiss was asking her for a kiss. "A-are you sure…?", Ruby asked, not knowing why Weiss suddenly decided for this. Also, from what she recalled earlier, Weiss was kind of frustrated over Neptune. Was this kiss perhaps just an outlet for Weiss? Was Ruby thinking too much? Should she just go with it?
"D-don't make me repeat myself!", Weiss stuttered. She sat up to level herself with Ruby and closed her eyes. Seeing how Weiss was so willing in front of her, Ruby tossed aside her qualms and approached Weiss again. She closed her eyes and kissed Weiss. Weiss didn't return the kiss. Instead of pulling back, Ruby decided to wait a bit more and started moving her lips. Ruby was delighted to find that when she started, Weiss kissed her back and tried to mimic her movements.
They lasted for a few seconds until Ruby pulled back to catch her breath. She was surprised to see that Weiss was perfectly okay and could only attribute her non-lack of breath due to her being a singer. Ruby brushed off the thought and calmed down. "So… do you… like it..?", Ruby asked again. She was nervous. Getting to kiss Weiss was like a dream come true for Ruby. And she really wanted to get to know who Weiss was on a much deeper level than being just friends. Trying to hold her emotions in, Ruby decided that whatever answer Weiss would give after this, she would confess.
After the kiss, Weiss touched her lips once more. She liked it. She liked how soft Ruby's lips were and she liked how gentle Ruby could be when they had their little making out session. But now her heart was partly torn. She can now confirm that Ruby likes her. And the look on Ruby's face gives her the impression that she'll confess to Weiss at this moment. However, she still likes Neptune despite the incident that happened in their date earlier. Weiss had to think of this thoroughly. She doesn't know what exactly she feels for Ruby at this moment, but she knows it's not just something in the line of being friends. But then again, she only looked at Ruby as a friend up until she found out that Ruby liked someone. And as much as she hated to admit it, Weiss felt jealousy within the days that Ruby hid that fact from her. And now that Ruby's special someone was in fact, her, Weiss also felt happy.
Ruby stared at Weiss, patiently waiting for an answer. However, it seemed that Weiss was conflicted and really thinking this matter through. Ruby was never good with romance, but she had watched some movies with Yang. She recalled a particular scene wherein the female lead had asked for some time to think and the male lead gave that to her. Ruby didn't want things to end up that way though. That would mean that Weiss was uncertain of her feelings towards Ruby and if Ruby sat there idly and just waited, Weiss may not change her mind. Having come to this conclusion, Ruby decided to help Weiss a little bit.
"Weiss, are you straight?", Ruby asked, breaking Weiss's train of thought. "Yes? No? Maybe?... Does it really matter when it comes to things like love?", Weiss responded. Ruby giggled. One of her major worries was also addressed when she asked this and she was very satisfied with Weiss's answer. "I guess not," Ruby sheepishly smiled. "Are you and Neptune official? Because I think… dating and being in a relationship are two different things. Like, you can date many people since it's just getting to know them, but being official is like being hooked to just one", Ruby explained.
Weiss thought about it. "I guess we're just dating as of now.", she concluded. With this, Ruby went down from Weiss's bed and knelt in front of Weiss. "Ruby, what are you - " "Since you and Neptune aren't official yet, that means I have a chance", Ruby mischievously smiled. This smile always succeeds to annoy Weiss, but for this matter, it seemed to excite her instead. Ruby faked coughing, as if to announce something: "And so, Weiss Schnee", Ruby said as she bowed her head, "I love you. I love every single part of you. I love your personality, I love how you always try to hide your feelings, I love your passion and consideration. I love every part of you and I still want to get to know more.. I even think that I can spend my entire life with you, you know?", Ruby looked up at Weiss as she gave her a sheepish smile.
Weiss was blushing. Her entire face was red and Ruby guessed that she was in the same state. Still kneeling, Ruby continued, "I know you have Neptune right now and to be honest that hurts me. But I'll fight for you. I'll show you that no matter how childish I am, I can win you over. I love you and I'm serious about you. I won't expect you to reciprocate my feelings immediately. All I'm asking is that you don't reject me. I promise you, no matter how much of a reckless leader I am, I can make you happy".
Weiss couldn't help but feel overwhelmed at all that Ruby was saying. Tears involuntarily streamed down her cheeks. Tears of happiness, that is. "You dunce… I never knew you could say that… Of course I'll give you a chance.. I mean, who wouldn't..?", Weiss said as she furiously tried to wipe her tears. She hated crying. She hated showing her weak side to anybody. Even if her tears were out of joy.
Ruby stood up and went to hug Weiss. She took Weiss's hands away from her eyes and wiped her eyes with her sleeve instead. "You can show this side of yourself to me too, Weiss. I said that I wanted to know more of you. Besides, even this side of you is beautiful", Ruby said. "Gosh.. just.. stop… are you trying to kill me with your words…? My heart is pounding right now…", Weiss said in between her sobs. "Mine too", Ruby said. "And uh, Weiss?" "Yes?" "Is it bad timing to ask for a date?" "I.. of course not, Ruby. Sure, let's go on a date", Weiss snuggled up to Ruby as she smiled at the brunette.
Ruby couldn't contain her excitement anymore. She jumped up from the bed and pointed to Weiss, "Weiss Schnee, you better be ready for me. Because starting this day, I, Ruby Rose, will make you fall for me!"
