I do not own RWBY.
Weiss watched as the girl she loved ran from her. She wanted to chase after Ruby; she could probably catch her too. The girl clad in red was not calling upon the speed boost granted to her by her semblance, and Weiss is normally faster than Ruby's normal speed. So why is she not chasing after her. Maybe she just wanted to let Ruby have some time to herself to come to terms with her emotions. When her focus returned to reality, Ruby was already gone.
"I'm sorry, Ruby," she whispered to no one.
Weiss stood there silently alone with her thoughts. Clouds flying with the wind obscured the shattered moon, darkening the area. The heiress could hardly see her own hand at this level of darkness. Was it a mistake to tell Ruby that she loved her? Should she have kept her feelings bottled up? No. She overheard Little Red's conversation with Neptune, and the way she talked about her implied that she still had feelings for her. Maybe it was a good thing to have told Ruby, but still she should have anticipated the emotional turmoil it would cause for the younger girl.
What is she going to do now? Now they both know that they have feelings for each other, but Ruby is still torn up over their break up. Ruby probably wouldn't start dating Weiss again in fear that she might have her heart broken again. Then again, Ruby could also be happy to get back with her, give their relationship another try. It was killing Weiss not knowing what the consequences of her actions will come to.
"Hey, Schnee!" Uh oh.
The heiress felt a hand grab the front of her dress tightly, pulling her forward. The clouds covering the moon flew away, letting the moonlight soak the earth once again. The dim light revealed Yang as the one grabbing Weiss's dress. The blonde did not look pleased. Actually, it would be more accurate to say that she appeared to be beyond pissed.
"What the hell did you do to my baby sister?" Yang spat out.
Pyrrha cane running up, concern written across her face. "Yang, calm down," she pleaded, trying to calm the brute's rage.
"Why should I? Ruby and Neptune goes out, Neptune comes back in, Weiss goes out, and then Ruby comes running through the ball room barefooted crying her heart out! Surely Weiss did something to hurt her!"
Pyrrha said nothing. There was nothing she could do to calm the wrath of Hurricane Xiao Long. All she could do is let things run their course and hope that no casualties will result in the process.
"Spill it! What did you do to my darling sister?"
"I-I j-just kissed her," Weiss stuttered out quickly.
She could feel the grip on her dress loosen; Pyrrha and Yang looked at her with shock. The blonde started shaking, her brain struggling to put the pieces together.
"So, what? Were you just trying to play with her emotions or something?" She questioned quietly. Deep down, Yang knew that her teammate would never do such a thing, but her mind was clouded with rage making her think irrationally. She just does not understand what is going on.
"N-no, Yang! I would never do that! I love Ruby!
The three of them stood frozen in the moonlight. The sound of the smooth breeze drowning out the echoes of the dance music playing from within the building. Pyrrha continued to watch the two girls wide eyed. Yang had completely let go of Weiss's dress, slowly lowering her hand, and the latter took a couple steps back, smoothing out her dress. She watched the blonde whose eyes were hidden behind her bangs.
"You… love Ruby?" she muttered out loud enough for Weiss to hear.
Weiss nodded. "I do."
"For real, this time?"
"Yes."
"So, if you and Ruby were to start up a relationship again, I can count on you not to leave her again, not to break her heart again?"
"When we first started dating, I couldn't realize my feelings for Ruby because we had already spent so much time together. To me, everything felt normal, like we were just best friends. However, after I broke up with her and I started to see less of her, all I wanted was to be able to spend more time with Ruby." Weiss stopped talking for a sec, allowing her time to catch her breath and think of how to put the next words together. Yang quietly observed Weiss, waiting to hear what she has left to say. "I love Ruby, Yang. I want nothing more than to spend the rest of my life with her. I want her to be happy, and I'll do anything to make it happen. I will never leave her again, and I will never do anything to break her heart again either. "
Pyrrha can honestly say she was touched by Weiss' answer. Weiss continued to watch her blonde friend quietly standing in front of her. Yang suddenly reached forward and pull Weiss into a hug. "You have no idea how happy it makes me to hear you say that. I truly think that you're the only one in the world who can give Ruby the happiness she deserves." She pulled back and looked sternly into Weiss' eyes. "However, this time around, if you break her heart no matter the reason, I will hunt you down like a Grimm. Got it?"
Weiss smiled confidently. "Got it!"
Pyrrha had tears forming in the corner of her eyes. She'd be lying to say if she didn't feel line she were watching a good soap opera. Wiping away the tears, she said, "You should probably go to speak with Ruby about this now. I bet she's having a tough time sorting out her emotions right now."
The heiress looked down in shame. "I'm afraid to say that I have no idea where she could be."
"You should try checking by the cliff side," suggested Yang. "She loves to watch the ocean whenever she's feeling stressed or sad."
Now that she thought about it, Weiss did find Ruby hiding out by the cliff the day she discovered the hooded girl's feelings. "Thanks, Yang. I'll go talk to her now."
"Good luck."
Weiss ran off in search to find the girl she loves. Pyrrha and Yang saw her off with smiling faces. They just knew that things would work out between Ruby and Weiss. The two were perfect for each other.
Ruby sat quietly by the cliff side, her hand covering her eyes as she tried to cry out the last of her tears. She doesn't get it. Weiss, WEISS, broke up with her. She broke her heart. Ruby had been left depressed for weeks, and when she is finally ready to move on and let Weiss go, Weiss comes to her, kisses her, and tells her that she loves her. If Weiss loves her, why could she not have realized her feelings earlier? Why did she have to deal with the emotional suffering of the break up?
That aside, Weiss admitted that she loved her. That's good, right? However, at the same time, she was scared. What if Weiss is wrong about her feelings? If the two of them do date again and Weiss brakes up with her for a second time, Ruby does not know if she will be able to handle it a second time. She wants to spend her life with Weiss, but she does not want to risk getting hurt again. What should she do?
Ruby felt a pair of arms wrap around her, pulling her into a warm embrace as a head rested on her shoulder. "A sweet girl like you shouldn't be crying. It doesn't suit you." Weiss was down on her knees behind Ruby, embracing the younger girl gently. Ruby's heart rate increased. Weiss began to run her hand through Ruby's short, silky hair. Ruby grabbed the arm that still wrapped around her with both of her hands.
"Weiss," Ruby called out quietly, almost sounding like a sob. The girl in question hummed in answer to the call. "Did you really mean what you said? Do you really love me?"
"I do, Ruby," the older girl answered without hesitation, whispering the answer into her ear. "I can't imagine living my life without you, Ruby. I want to spend everyday with you for the rest of our lives."
Ruby turned to face Weiss. The young girl had new tears forming in her eyes. These were not tears of sorrow. No. They were tears of happiness. "R-really?" she choked out.
Smiling warmly, she replied, "Really. I love you, Ruby."
Tightly wrapping her arms around Weiss' waist and burying her face into her chest, Ruby let her tears flow freely. "I love you too!" Weiss held the girl gently as she cried out everything she was feeling. The two sat there for what felt like hours to Weiss, and Ruby finally exhausted her tears. Sitting silently for an additional few minutes, Ruby pulled back and looked Into Weiss eyes. She asked quietly, "Weiss, do you promise never to leave me again?"
"I promise, Ruby. I'll stay by your side forever." Weiss stood up, holding out her hand. "You know, it's still dance night, Ruby. I was wondering if I could have this dance."
Smiling, Ruby accepted Weiss's hand. "I would love to dance with you." The heiress pulled up her love, placing her free arm on Ruby's shoulder. "By the way, I don't know how to lead."
"That's fine, Ruby. I'll lead."
As if music have been playing, their feet started to move in rhythm to the beat of a song. The two swayed back and forth, swirling around each other as they moved. The moonlight once again illuminated Weiss' face, drawing out her beauty. Weiss thought the same thing about Ruby. The two continued to dance for who knows how long. Time was irrelevant to the both of them. They were too focused on the other to even care about the time. Eventually, their dance came to an end. They didn't separate, bow, or do any fancy move to end the dance. They just naturally came to a stop, staring into each other's eyes.
Thinking as one, the girls closed their eyes and leaned toward each other. Their lips met. A spark ran through the both of them as they expressed their love for each other. In need for air, the two pulled apart, staring lovingly into each other's eyes.
"I love you, Weiss."
"I love you too, Ruby."
Ruby and Weiss returned to the dance hand in hand. Entering the room, they found that most of the students have gone back to the dorm, but they found Yang, Pyrrha, Blake, and Sun sitting around the punch bowl. Their friends all turned to face them as they walked up. Yang noticed that the two of them were holding hands. Smiling, she asked, "Hey, what's up you two?"
Giving the happiest smile for the first time in weeks, Ruby replied, "Weiss and I are together again." All of them smiled back. After a rough few weeks, their friend was finally truly happy again.
"Oh, really?" Yang said slyly. Not like she didn't see that coming. Turning to her white-haired friend, she winked. "You better take good care of my baby sister, Schnee."
Weiss replied, "Oh, I intend to Xiao Long."
Off to the side, Blake quietly said to Sun, "It would appear that you were right, Sun."
The monkey faunus smiled. "I told you. The two of them are perfect for each other."
"Strangely enough, that is true." Blake remembered back to their first day at Beacon. She never would have thought that with the way Weiss and Ruby treated each other back then that would ever be a perfect match.
Ruby walked up to Pyrrha, looking a bit shy. "Pyrrha, I'm sorry."
"Sorry for what?" The tall red-head inquired.
"You asked me out to the dance so that we could have a good time together and help me move on, but in the end I ran off after our first dance. I didn't even say anything to you before leaving. I feel like I ruined your night because of my selfishness."
Pyrrha wrapped her arms around the shorter girl. "It's fine, Ruby. I don't care that you ran off. Tonight, you got back together Weiss, and you are genuinely happy for the first time in weeks. I'm just happy that you're happy again."
Ruby pulled back smiling. "Thank you, Pyrrha. You've done a lot for me these past few week. I am truly thankful for that."
"You're welcome, Ruby. Anything for one of my dear friends."
Yang spoke up, "It's getting kinda late now. We should probably get going now."
Blake yawned. "That sounds like a good idea."
Ruby gripped onto Weiss' hand. "Come on, Weiss. Let's go home."
The older girl asked, "So, does that mean you're moving back in with us."
Ruby smiled. "Of course. Team RWBY's dorm is my home, and there is no other place I'd rather be than at home with you."
The group returned to the dorms. Making a quick stop at Team JNPR's dorm, Ruby grabbed her stuff. Nora congratulated Ruby on getting back together with Weiss, Ren commented that it was nice having her stay with them, and Jaune said that they would miss having her stay with them. After saying their good nights to each other, Ruby returned to Team RWBY's dorm. Yang and Blake were already asleep, and Weiss was sitting in her bed, half covered up under the blanket. After Ruby got changed into her pajamas, Weiss patted her bed, signaling for Ruby to get into bed with her. She complied. She got onto the bed and under the covers with Weiss, cuddling up close to her. she felt as if she were in Heaven.
"Good night, Weiss."
"Good night, Ruby."
"I love you."
