Soundless and Blind love of a Whiterose

Chapter 7

"Weiss?" Ruby thought to herself as she stares straight at her face. Many thoughts run wilds on why she was here. Was she here to buy something or maybe to see her? Ruby couldn't decide which one it was.

"Hello, Miss Rose," David said greeting her as he gently grabbed Weiss hand guiding her toward a chair.

"David, I can move by myself…" Weiss grumbled under her breath.

In response, David released her hand and sighed in response. "Alright, just be careful Weiss." He responded.

Weiss started to walk by herself as she used her cane to guide herself around the store. Ruby watched as Weiss would occasionally bump into a few chairs and tables. She wanted to help her out so badly, but she was too nervous to do so.

Ruby continued to stand still as she observed David pull a chair out as Weiss walked toward it. She hit the chair using her cane and slowly reached out to grab it missing her grip on it a couple of times before finally grabbing hold of it as she held onto it as she pulled it out slightly more before slowly sitting on it.

"Hello… Ruby." Weiss said nervously trying her best to not be awkward around her. "Wow, I wasn't confident at all… I need to be more professional!" Weiss mentally scolded herself, she looked like a complete dolt in front of Ruby.

There was a moment of silence between the two. Ruby smiled and waved back waiting for Weiss to response, but she continued to stare at the chair in front of her not reacting in the slightest. Ruby scratched her head before looking at David.

A panicking David tried to whisper to her before quickly gesturing to Ruby pointing to his eyes.

Ruby then realized what he meant. "HOW COULD I FORGOT! She is blind… Rggh... I feel so bad right now…" She thought as she slapped herself on the face. She decided to walk up to the same table that Weiss was at, Ruby then slowly pulled out the chair in front of Weiss and proceeded to sit down on it.

She was now looking at Weiss…

"On no. Here comes the awkward silence…" Ruby thought to herself as she fidgeted with her fingers nervously. She was trying her best to think of a response. Any response would do, but she just couldn't utter out a single word. She had never felt this nervous before in her life. She was just stunted by Weiss's beautiful appearance. Her dress was perfect…

Ruby started to blush as she continued to stare at her, she then noticed that Weiss looked equally as nervous as her. She was fidgeting with her fingers and breathing heavily. Ruby then looked at her face by inspecting more about, her eyes were white.

How will I be able to communicate with her? I can't speak… wait a minute she still can feel things! I got it!" Ruby thought as an idea popped out. She could use the same method that she used to communicate to Roman to communicate with Weiss.

Ruby slowly took Weiss hand hoping to write down the words in her mind on her palm to communicate with her.

However, Weiss reacted with a sudden jolt of shock as she pulled her hand away. Ruby jumped before trying to calm her down, gesturing to her in an apologetic way. But, Weiss couldn't see it and Ruby had no way of telling her.

"Why did you touch my hand!" Weiss exclaimed in shock.

"Oh my god, I'm sorry! Sorry! Sorry!" Ruby thought to herself. "What was I thinking," She thought as she was embarrassed by what she just did…

"Weiss! It's fine she was not going to hurt her. She is your friend after all…" David said as Weiss slowly calmed down.

"You're right David… but she should have said somethinggg… oh, yeah… sorry." Weiss said now feeling guilty herself as well. "Ha… I forgot that you are mute, and you forgot I'm blind. It's kind of funny actually…"

"Wait, how did she know I didn't remember she was blind?" Ruby thought.

"You are probably thinking how I know you forgot. Well, David wasn't exactly soft was he was trying to tell you just now," Weiss said as she frowned.

"Sorry…" David said.

"No, it's fine, David. It isn't your fault." Weiss said as her eyes continued to stare at Ruby as she was looking at her as she turned her head slightly to where David who was standing beside her. Although she wasn't looking at David she could still tell which direction he was at. She then slowly looked back at her.

Ruby smiled sheepishly and start uncontrollably giggling while looking at the floor as she slowly looked at Weiss, who was also smiling.

Ruby continued seconds felt like minutes as she stared at Weiss, she didn't want to stop.

"Err… Ruby." Ruby turned to look at David. She looked at him with her silver eyes waiting patiently for a response.

"The reason we are here is that Weiss wanted to ask if you're willing to become friends," He said smiling at her. Ruby blinked several times as she stared at him with a confused expression.

"Me and Weiss as friends?! I can't believe it, she wants to be friends. With me!" She thought to herself. "Booyah!" Ruby thought she had never felt so excited in her life. She was overwhelmed with joy as they coursed through her veins.

She nodded her head constantly in response to David as he smiled at her. He wasn't surprised in the slightest. After all, he knew that those two had a lot more in common then they themselves realised.

Ruby looked at Weiss and decided that the only way to communicate with her was to write out the words in her mind on her hands with her finger. "If it works for Roman, I hope it would work for Weiss…" She thought to herself worried that it might not work.

She gently took Weiss's right hand as she watched Weiss jointed sightly in response but continued with what she was going to do. Ruby wrote down the word 'Hi' on her palm. Weiss shocked expression slowly disappeared as Ruby noticed her becoming slightly calmer after she wrote the word on her palm.

"Hello… Ruby." Weiss said nervously. Ruby smiled to herself.

She then wrote the word 'You want to become friends, Weiss?'

"Yes, of course, I would love to!" Weiss exclaimed happily.

To Weiss's surprise, Ruby got out of her chair and dashed toward her hugging her.

"Ruby you are crushing me to death…" Weiss said while patting Ruby on her back. Ruby released her, she then took Weiss's left hand and wrote 'Besties better than the resties?'

Weiss giggled before placing her right hand on top of Ruby's own one.

"Of course." She said smiling.
