A loud smacking sound brought most of Team RWBY and Team JNPR out of their shocked trance, and turned to see a red hand print left on Sam's face, courtesy of Weiss. "Do you have any idea how much you scared me when Cardin hit you!?" she screamed at him.
"Relax, Weiss. I'm ok," Sam tried to reassure her, not particularly phased by the hand print on his left cheek.
"You complete dolt, I thought that you actually got hurt!" Weiss smacked him again, this time his right cheek.
Sam showed no recoil as the smack hit him and kept a constant gaze on Weiss. "I'm sorry if I scared you, but you should've known the only reason he hit me was because I let him," he told her.
"Is that supposed to make me feel better?!" she yelled, stomping her foot down.
"Yes, because the only reason I let him hit me was because I knew it wouldn't do anything!" Sam matched her. "Weiss, I know you worry about me, but it's ok. I know what I'm doing out there and I appreciate the fact you care enough about me to be concerned, but you don't need to yell at me." Sam's tone softened, as did his gaze.
Weiss was preparing a counter of her own, but after hearing Sam's words, her expression also softened, and she look to the ground next to her. "I'm sorry, Sam. I just… I lost you once," she said softly. "I don't even want to think about, let alone see someone try and hurt you, or worse."
"I know, Weiss. I'm sorry too, I shouldn't have let him hit me," Sam told her soothingly. He walked up to her and lifted his hand to her cheek, brushing it softly. Weiss leaned her head into Sam's hand, wanting and needing the contact. Sam gently pulled Weiss' face back to where Weiss looked into Sam's eyes. "I love you, Weiss. I'm not going to let anything take me away from you ever again," he said low, but confident.
Weiss was about to reply when Sam leaned forward and pressed his lips against Weiss'. Weiss was shocked at the sudden move, and then returned the kiss fervently, enjoying the taste of his lips. Sam reluctantly pulled away, knowing they had an audience behind Weiss. Weiss wondered why Sam had stopped, and then her face turned a deep crimson that could rival Ruby's cape, rushing around behind Sam, so the others wouldn't see her face.
"That was amazing Sam! The way you just disappeared and reappeared like that! How did you do that anyway?" Jaune asked excitedly, paying little attention to Weiss' embarrassed actions.
"My semblance is electricity, or lightning," Sam answered. "Using my semblance, I could move at the speed of light. Your eyes can't keep up with that speed, so to you I disappear."
"That is SOOOOOOOO cool!" Nora said, bouncing around. Ren smiled and shook his head at the pink girl.
"So what is your weapon?" Pyrrha asked.
"You guys will see soon enough," Sam smirked.
"And why didn't you use it against Cardin?" Ren asked after he managed to get Nora to stand still.
"It's just the way I fight," Sam answered. When he received puzzled looks from the eight team members, he continued, "Either at the beginning of a fight or right in the middle of one, I drop my weapon once I know I've won."
"What do you mean?" Blake asked.
"Well let's say that Cardin actually stood a chance against me," Sam grinned as the other eight figures laughed at his comment. "I would have pulled out my weapon to use against him. Once his aura was down in the yellow, or I had the instinct that the match was over and that I had won, I would throw my weapon to the side and finish the fight with my hands."
"That's definitely an interesting battle strategy," Pyrrha commented.
"I like to think of it as my trademark way of winning my battles," Sam smiled, puts his hands behind his head.
"Well I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm starved!" Yang commented from the back of the group.
"Yeah, let's go get some dinner!" Ruby said, leading the way out of the stands. The rest of Team RWBY, excluding Weiss, followed Ruby, with Team JNPR right behind them. Ruby looked back at Weiss and Sam as they stood there motionless. Ruby tilted her head to the side as if to ask if they were coming or not. Sam quietly mouthed the words "give us a moment." Ruby nodded and left with the rest of their group.
Sam turned around to see that Weiss had been burying herself in the back of Sam's uniform, trying to hide the blush that spread across her face. She was incredibly embarrassed by the fact she had acted so weak and needy around her teammates, and Sam noticed that. "It's ok Weiss, were allowed to love each other in front of them," Sam told her, brushing hair that was dangling on her face behind one of her ears.
"I know, it's just the way I acted so weak. Like I need to have you or else I would just be a mess," Weiss said, looking up into Sam's eyes.
"So you're telling me you don't need me?" Sam asked with mock hurt in his eyes.
Weiss retaliated by punching his shoulder playfully, "Of course I do, I just don't like others to see me like that. People see that as weak and foolish."
"Weiss they aren't going to judge you about that, the most they will do is say 'Aww' and tease you a little bit about it," Sam told her. Weiss scoffed at his comment and looked down towards the arena.
"It's just… since you've been gone Sam I had to put up the tough and cold act to other people," Weiss explained, refusing to look anywhere but the arena as she continued. "People always expected me to be proper and do what I had to do because of my father and his business. People in that regard saw love and acts of it a weakness in the business world. We would always have to be cold and calculating to continue to grow as a business."
"Weiss you aren't around that anymore," Sam told her, taking a step toward her. "Your with me and your friends. We aren't those heartless business leaders, and neither are you."
Weiss was taken aback by his comment, suspecting he knew about some of her inner fears. "You are beautiful and amazing. No matter what happens you are always ready to stand by those who you believe in. If no one else would stand with you, then you would stand strong by what you did believe in. I don't care what others say about our relationship, but I think that our relationship almost couldn't be any better," Sam said, snaking his arms around her waist.
Weiss' face grew red at his complements and from the closeness of him right now. She still looked down into the arena, but she snuggled her head onto Sam's shoulder and placed her arms on his shoulders, connecting her hands behind his neck.
"I love you Weiss, everything about you. I don't see anything you do as a weakness, and I only keep finding out more reasons to love you the way I do," Sam kissed her head.
Weiss finally turned her head from the arena and looked into Sam's eyes longingly. Rather than answer his own words of affection, she gave her own by claiming his lips with hers. Sam moved his hands to her back and deepened the kiss, with Weiss moaning into it as he did so. Sam decided to go a little further by prodding his tongue at the entrance of her mouth, and she accepted it excitedly, and as they continued to kiss their tongues danced in each other's mouth. Eventually, Sam pulled out of the kiss when they both finally needed oxygen and looked into Weiss' eyes. Weiss returned his gaze, and Sam laid his forehead onto hers. They stayed like that for a couple of minutes, just enjoying each other's company. Eventually, they knew they had to follow RWBY and JNPR to the cafeteria, so Sam kept one arm around Weiss and began to lead her that way. Eventually they stopped at the door to the cafeteria, a quick walk from the coliseum, and Weiss stopped them. She turned towards Sam and they connected their lips together again. It was a quick and delicate contact, but in that kiss they put in all of their love and affection for each other.
"I love you too, Sam," Weiss smiled and walked into the cafeteria, with Sam soon following.
