AN: HEY GUYS! I'm back. I'm sorry that it took so long but I have been busy and the fact that I'm currently creating a new Naruto story that is called the Lost King. Anyway I hope that everyone will like this chapter. This chapter will between Rune and Weiss. Where they meet up as kids.
Chapter 5 Meeting Weiss
"Mommy, where are we going?" Rune asked Summer. Summer looked at his son with a smile on her face.
"We're going to Atlas to visit someone, Rune." Summer said to him. After hearing those words, Rune started to think back what happen after learning that he had been able to awaken his aura, semblance (not!) and killing a Grimm.
The news of the incident of how a male child had awaken his aura and defeated a Grimm, a Death Stalker has been spread like a wild fire in a week. Many of the people started to raise questions on how Rune was able to awaken his aura and not die since it was common knowledge that once a male Aura is awaken, it will be cause of its death.
But Rune was a different case that made many people question about him. Many wanted to interview him but Summer, Taiyang and Qrow showed their very scary and protective side of them in scaring the media off with Summer, the most scariest person to dealt with when angering her.
During those weeks, Rune started to read about the book that Monty left him but didn't read much about since he didn't feel different. Since in the book stated, it would take at least 4 years before the bond was complete, giving him the abilities of what the orbs have. So he continued to train his body with his parents supervising him while training his aura at night with all of them asleep while he is awake.
Now the council of all four kingdoms demanded for Rune's presence. Summer didn't want to do it at first but she knew that council had the power to make her family life miserable so she had no choice but to attend the meeting to discuss about Rune's case.
Summer would have just went to the Vale council but she wanted to meet a friend of hers and Taiyang in Atlas, so she decided to take Rune to Atlas while Taiyang watched over the girls.
"But why isn't dad, Yang and Ruby with us?" Rune asked. He never learned the reason why his dad and siblings never came with them.
"The people who wanted to meet us said that we're the only ones that they would like to meet, Rune. Your dad needed to be on his job and also to watch over your siblings with your Aunt Qrow." Summer said. Rune just nodded his head. Soon, the trip was pretty quiet since Rune knew that his mother was deep on her thoughts in what is happening so he just mediate thorough out the whole trip to keep mind calm and at peace.
==Time Skip==
"Here we are, Rune. Atlas, the home of science and technology of Remnant." Summer said as she looked outside and saw that they finally arrived at Atlas. Rune looked out the window and mentally snorted.
Soon, the transporter landed on the ground as it makes it landing. The hatch opened then Rune and Summer walked out from the transporter as their feet were now on solid ground.
"Summer, it's nice to see you again." A voice said. Summer and Rune looked up and different expressions came to them. Summer had a smile on her face while Rune scowled at the person in front of him. Rune recognized that voice and face anywhere.
It was Weiss' father. Wyn Schnee. The man has a gray-white hair and a pale complexion. He has a large gray mustache, and his eyes are a cold blue color.
He is wearing a pure white double-breasted jacket with a red handkerchief in the breast pocket, underneath which he wears a blue shirt and vest and a gray-white tie. He has a silver-colored ring on his right hand.
But Rune noticed something different about the man. Wyn wasn't wearing a scowl on his face – instead the man had a smile on his face. Not a smile with an evil or a malicious intent but a genuine smile, which made Rune think of something.
'Is it possible that that Weiss' mother switch personality with the Father since I'm in another world?' Rune thought, already thinking the possibility of a personality swap. Which means that Weiss' father will be good and caring guy while the Mother will be a manipulative and cold bitch.
"Wyn, it's nice to meet you again. How long has it been?" Summer said as she approached the man and shook his hand. Wyn let out a laugh and it's a good hearted one. Rune started to think that he's right.
"It been too long, my friend. How is your husband?" Wyn asked cheerfully. Rune started to really think that he was right since this guy doesn't hold any bad vibes.
"He's been doing very well. He's with my daughters. He couldn't join us because of his work and he needs to watch them with Qrow," Summer said then she suddenly remembered Rune. She looked down and saw that Rune was staring at Wyn with curiosity, "Rune, say hello to Wyn."
"…Hello Mr. Wyn" Rune said with a childlike and nervous tone. He wanted to lessen the suspicion of his mother to him since she practically already thinks that Rune wasn't a child anymore after that incident.
Wyn smiled at Rune and knelt down to his level and extended his hand. "Nice to meet you Rune. I'm Wyn Schnee, a friend of your mother." Rune just looked at him with curiosity while the man just smiled at him. Soon, Wyn turned back his attention to Summer as he stood up.
"I think that you both need a place to stay. My wife is on a business trip with my eldest, Winter and they will be gone for at least a week. Do you want to stay with us for a while, Summer? I'm sure that my daughter Weiss could use a playmate." Wyn suggested and Rune's eyes widened in surprise upon hearing this. Yup, this guy is not like his father in law in his previous life.
Summer smiled at the man before her. "Thank you Wyn. We really appreciate it." Summer said. She was thankful that her friend would allow them to stay in their mansion for tomorrow's meeting with the council and besides, she wanted Rune to meet other people around his age.
"Splendid! Now follow me so we could go to the mansion now." Wyn said cheerfully. Rune smiled hearing that.
Why?
Because he was going to see Weiss again. He knows that his wife's memories in the previous life was buried away deep but at least he could lessen the loneliness of Weiss since she was practically alone when she was a child with only Winter and her mother at her side.
==At Schnee Mansion==
"Welcome to the Schnee Home." Wyn said as they are now standing before the grand mansion of the Schnee. Rune smiled at seeing the mansion since this became his home after marrying Weiss and a place where they had a family together in his previous life.
"Please come inside." Wyn said as he guided Summer and Rune through the house.
"Where is your daughter?" Summer asked.
Wyn rubbed his chin. "I think Weiss is in her room." Wyn said. He turned to them and looked at Rune. "Do you want to meet my daughter, Rune?"
Rune smiled and nodded his head. Summer smiled happily since she saw that her son was excited to meet someone.
Wyn smiled at Rune's response. Soon, he led them through the hallway and towards Weiss' room. They arrived moments later, standing in front the door. Wyn knocked on the door and said, "Weiss, dear. It's daddy and he brought a playmate." Wyn grabbed the knob and turned it and opened the door. Rune looked around and saw that room was huge and was fit for noble people. Rune's eyes wandered around the room and it landed on the queen size bed. Rune smiled as soon as he saw who was on the bed.
Weiss Schnee. She was wearing a simple white dress and her white hair was short. She had blue eyes and she doesn't have a scar on her face. She was currently playing with a doll in her hands.
"Weiss," Wyn called. Weiss stopped playing with the doll and looked to the door and a smile appeared on her face as she saw her father.
"Daddy!" Weiss said happily as she hopped off her bed and ran towards her father and clung on her father's leg. Wyn chuckled at his daughter's action and ruffled her hair.
"Good to see you too, Weiss. Look, I brought a playmate. Rune, please introduce yourself." Wyn said softly. Rune smiled at Weiss and waved a hand at her.
"Hi! I'm Rune, Nice to meet you!" Rune said cheerfully. He expected that Weiss would greet him back but to his surprise, Weiss was just glaring at him, which made Rune look at her with curiosity.
"…I don't like you." Weiss said. Summer and Rune frowned upon hearing those words while Wyn just let out a disappointed sigh.
"Weiss, please be nice to Rune." Wyn said to Weiss. Weiss just pouted at him. Wyn looked at Summer and smiled at her, "I think that we should leave the children alone, so they could bond." Wyn said to Summer. Summer nodded in agreement and placed a hand on Rune's head, getting the boy's attention.
"Rune, why don't you play with Weiss for a while? I need to do something first. I promised that it won't take long." Summer smiled. Rune just nodded his head in understanding and soon, the adults left the room, leaving only Rune and Weiss in the room.
The two stared at each other. Weiss was glaring at him while Rune just looked at her with curiosity while mentally, he just smiled at Weiss. He never knew that Weiss was this cute when she was a kid.
"So…what do you do?" Rune asked. He really wondered what Weiss would do when she was bored when she was a child.
"I don't know about you but I'm going to play with my dolls." Weiss said before she turned back to her bed and started to play with her dolls again. Rune just sighed since he never liked to play with dolls and he only does it because Ruby or Yang wants him to join him. Rune decided to look around the room and something caught his attention.
'Is that a piano?' Rune thought. Rune knew that Weiss learn to play the piano at a young age. But he never knew when did she started to play. Thankfully, in Rune's past life, he knew how to play the piano even a little bit. He was more of a guitar guy anyway. He went towards the piano that was tall enough for at least for a kid's age. He saw that the piano has complete keys and a smile appeared on his face.
He sat on the chair and close his eyes as he place his hands on the keyboard. Unknown to him that Weiss stop playing with her dolls and looks at Rune with curiosity.
'What is he doing with the piano? Does even know how to play that?' Weiss thought. She started to learn how to play a piano a few days ago and she already knew how to play some of the basic songs. She was called a prodigy for a reason and she was known as a very gifted child. She took pride of that.

Soon, Rune started to play with the piano and his hands were moved around the keyboards. Weiss' eyes widened in surprise as she heard the music. She never knew this song before. She heard a lot of classical music since her mother would mostly play those music in the office.
But this…She never heard this song before but this music…It was so beautiful. She could feel like she dancing in room with someone guiding her. Soon she was lost in her thoughts as she started to move her head around as she follow to the rhythm of the music.
Unknown to her that Rune also has the same thought as her. Imagining himself and Weiss dancing around without a care in world with smiles on their faces. Rune loved to play this song whenever he's not busy because it was his personal favorite in his past life.
Soon, the music come to an end as Rune played the last keys of the song before he finally stopped. He took a deep breath and opened his eyes. A smile appeared on his face.
*END - Thinking out loud Piano version cover*
'Wow…I still got it.' Rune thought happily. He thought that even his memories have returned from his previous life doesn't mean that his skills have fully returned. He was just thankful for his piano skills since it was one of the gifts that Weiss liked about him in being a musician.
"Wow…you're good." Rune turns around and saw that Weiss was approaching with the doll on her hand. Weiss was smiling at him, a genuine one. "Where did you learn to play like that?"
"Um… I don't know. The song just came to my head. Actually this is the first time I played a piano before. All I did is read on how to play a piano." Rune said as he scratch the back of his head. Weiss widened in shock at hearing this.
'Does this mean that he's like me?! A prodigy!' Weiss thought happily. She never met someone who was the same as her. A prodigy. Well except her sister, of course. But still, she finally found someone who was the same as her.
"Can you teach how to play that song?" Weiss asked. Rune was surprised at Weiss' sudden request but smiled and nodded at her.
"Sure, but it will be hard. So, you have to pay attention." Rune said and Weiss smiled and nodded at him. Soon Rune moved aside a little to give some space for Weiss to take a seat beside him. Soon the two bond for the rest of the afternoon learning and teaching with one another. Rune was happy that Weiss was friends with him. He knew that he lessened the loneliness of Weiss since she was a heiress and all but Rune saw her as someone who wanted a friend. So Rune gave that to her. He hoped that one day that Weiss' past life memories will be awakened so they can be together. He can wait for a long time just for Weiss to awaken her memories naturally. Right now, he was just glad he was friends with her in his current life.
