I wanted to thank you all for sticking with me, as well as for all the positive feedback you've been giving. It makes me happy to know that people like my writing, despite that it's not very good. I am just a high school senior (soon to be college freshman) after all. Anyways, thank you all so much for the support! :) Alright, on with the story!

Weiss smiled at the young girl wrapped in her arms. She gently brushed Ruby's hair from her face, so she could gaze at her beautiful silver eyes. Ruby looked up at her, giving her a soft smile. The two perked up when they heard a small knock. They looked towards the opening door to see Taiyang holding a tea tray.
"Am I interrupting?" he asked with a smirk on his face.
The two girls quickly pulled away from each other, their faces red with embarrassment.
"Don't worry, I heard everything," said Taiyang.
"You did?!" Ruby said, her face, along with Weiss's, turning as red as her cloak.
"Yup, and from what I heard, I know that you two need each other," Taiyang said, "You make each other happy."
Ruby reached for Weiss's hand, taking it in her own. Taiyang smiled as he saw this.
"That's all I could ever ask for," he said, handing them their tea.
"Does that mean...?" Ruby asked, her smile growing as she saw her father nod in approval.
Weiss and Ruby looked at each other, as Taiyang pulled them both in for a hug.
"Thank you for understanding," Ruby said happily, tears of joy in her eyes.
"Anything to make you happy," he said.
He released them from his hug, and picked up the tea tray, leaving the girls alone once again. After Taiyang had closed the door, Weiss crawled into bed with Ruby, allowing the young girl to rest her head against the Heiress's chest and wrap her arms around Weiss's neck. Weiss leaned her head down and kissed Ruby on the head, who in turn tilted her head upwards to give Weiss a small kiss on the lips.
"I missed you," Ruby said, blushing slightly.
"I missed you too," Weiss replied, giving her new girlfriend a soft smile.
"Is it okay if I go talk to Yang for a little bit? To let her know I'm okay?" Ruby asked.
In all honesty, Weiss wanted Ruby to stay here in her arms, but that wouldn't be fair to her or Yang.
"Of course," Weiss said, allowing Ruby to get up, "I'll be in the living room if you need me, okay?"
Ruby smiled and nodded.
"I love you," Ruby said, smiling in the doorway.
"I love you too," Weiss replied, with a large smile on her face.
And with that, Weiss went into the living room, sitting down on the couch. After a few minutes, she heard a knock on the door. She got up opened it, revealing Jaune.
"Hey, Weiss," he said with a half-hearted smile, "I hadn't heard from you in a while, so I decided to stop by and check on you. May I come in?"
Weiss nodded as she stood aside, letting the blonde boy in the house.
"Thank you for your concern. I'm doing okay," Weiss said, smiling softly.
"I can see that," Jaune said jokingly, "Any change in Ruby's condition?"
"Well.. Actually.." Weiss nodded towards the hallway behind Jaune.
The blonde boy turned around, as Ruby came out down the hall. She froze when she saw him standing there, sadness growing in her eyes.
"J-Jaune?" Ruby asked, tears beginning to form.
"Ruby," he said, surprised to see her out of bed.
Ruby suddenly rushed forward, hugging Jaune as tight as she could.
"I'm so sorry," she cried, as tears began streaking down her cheeks, "I'm so sorry I couldn't save her."
Jaune embraced the crying young girl, trying to calm her down.
"Hey, hey, it's okay, I don't blame you, neither do Ren or Nora," he said, trying to reassure Ruby, "It wasn't your fault. It was that woman. She did it. Not you."
Ruby nodded, sniffling as she pulled away. She wiped her tears and sat down next to Weiss, who immediately grabbed her hand, as she rested her head against Weiss' shoulder. Jaune tilted his head slightly, confused at what he was looking at.
"Wait, what?" he said, his voiced laced with confusion, "When did this happen?"
"Literally this morning," Weiss replied, she and Ruby blushing slightly.
Well, I guess I lost, Jaune thought.
He smiled to the young couple.
"Well, looks like I owe Nora 50 Lien," he said.
"Wait what?" Ruby said, now confused.
"Nora and I had a bet on if you two ended up a couple or not, looks like I lost," he said, chuckling a bit.
Ruby and Weiss blushed again.
"Anyway, I better get back, I'm sure they'll be glad to know that you're alright," he said, heading towards the door.
The three said their goodbyes as he walked out the door. Ruby once again sat down next to Weiss, and gave her a kiss, before draping her legs over the Heiress's lap and resting her head against her chest.
Jaune walked into the house where he, Ren and Nora were staying. As he walked in the door, he pulled out 50 Lien and gave it to Nora.
"Ha! I knew it!" she yelled, ecstatic that she was right.
"At least we know that their okay," Ren chimed in.
