A/n: yayy im back
Waking up the next morning, Weiss looked out the window to the hill where the ruins of beacon remained. When she had purchased her house she had specifically requested view of the ruins. She needed the constant reminder, she needed to always remember what she had done, and what it had cost her. As the hotel was directly in line with her house and beacon, she had almost the exact same view from here. She looked at where ruby had been sleeping, panic washing through her as she realised the absence of the small girl.
A scent wafted through her nose, it was indescribable. But Weiss knew exactly what it was. The year that they have spent apart was never going to make her forget the smell that three years of living with Ruby and the others had drilled into her. Ruby was cooking pancakes. Smiling to herself, she walked into the kitchen, sneaking up behind the occupied girl and kissing her on the neck.
Of course Ruby screamed. Dropping the pancakes it was lucky that Ruby was fast enough to catch them. Laughing Weiss was content enough to wait at the table for her friend/girlfriend. Laughing inwardly she added that conversation to the list of things that they needed to talk about. As Ruby sat down at the table. She slid one of two plates across to Weiss. The two ate like they hadn't seen food in weeks.
Weiss finished first, her usually elegance had been dulled over the year as they had been no one that she cared enough for to keep up the appearance. She ate like a slob, she rarely showered and when she walked she no longer glided or strutted to her destination, instead she trudged. Ruby looked at Weiss's empty plate and realized what had happened in the year of her absence.
