The Ice Queen's Knight
'Thoughts'
"Normal Dialogue"
Chapter 14
"W-winter? What do you mean?"
"You know what I mean Weiss." Winter said as she pushed past her sister and into the room. "Time to discuss this situation with your boyfriend."
Richard looked between the two sisters noticing the differences in their looks. Weiss wore a nervous face and started off towards the ground, no doubt from the damage her sister could cause. While Winter stood tall and confident not letting anything seem to get to her. "So you're Richard correct?"
"Hmm." Richard said, snapping back to reality. "Yes ma'am that's me."
"So you're my little sister's boyfriend. I must say that was quite a impressive match earlier." Winter continued on.
"Oh that was nothing." Richard said confidently. "Besides Weiss has taught me a lot since I got here."
"I see." Winter started, looking over at her sister. "Tell me Richard, how were you able to continue that fight when your opponent was attempting the final blow?"
'Crap! What do I tell her?' Richard thought. "Oh you know, I lived by myself for ten years so I'm use to being in a corner."
"Why was it you lived on your own?"
"Winter that's-" Weiss started but was cut off by her boyfriend.
"It's fine Weiss. To answer your question my parents died when I was two and then my adopted parents died when I was seven." Richard spoke as his fists formed. He did not wish to tell Winter his story, he didn't want to tell anyone his story, but to preserve his relationship with Weiss he needed to impress the elder Schnee. The first step to doing that was to be honest. "Ozpin invited me here himself, I really didn't want to become a hunter but after meeting Weiss….my goals changed."
"How did they change?"
"Revenge has become secondary to something else. That being enjoying life with Weiss and protecting her." Richard stated, causing the heiress to blush bright red and look to the ground.
"Revenge on who exactly?" Winter asked.
Richard fists closed again as his eyes became slightly darker. Winter noticed this and moved a hand slowly to her blade. The Grimm Shifter quickly relaxed upon sight of this action and spoke. "Revenge against the bastards that killed my parents."
"I see, I am sorry to hear about your past. Anyway, what are your feelings for my sister? Winter asked.
"Winter!" Weiss shrieked.
"My feelings for Weiss are obvious, ask anyone. I love her." Richard said, looking the elder Schnee in the eyes.
Winter stared at the boy for a moment as he stared right back, not willing to be intimidated. The tall female then looked to her sister. "Weiss do you feel the same way for him?"
"I do." Weiss answered with the same confIdence as her boyfriend.
"And has he earned that?"
"He has. There is no one more deserving than Richard." She spoke as she'd moved next to the boy.
"Very well, that's all I need to know." Winter said and turned to leave. "I will not inform father of this, however don't make me regret not doing so." With that the Atlassian specialist left the room and the two teens alone.
Richard quickly fell back into the bed as soon as the door closed. "Well that was fun,"
"D-dunce….couldn't you have been a little more discreet with your feelings?" Weiss stammered out.
"Why should I care what anyone else thinks? I love you and you love me, that's all that matters."
"True but that is my older sister." Weiss said back.
"Yes and if she cares about you, which she clearly does, she will see how happy you are right now."
"You think she did?" The white haired girl asked.
"Of course."
Weiss looked to her boyfriend's calmness. He was laying in his bed, after two near death experiences, a close encounter with the elder Schnee and recovering from injuries. 'How can he be this calm?' Weiss thought. 'I mean most of this pales in comparison to what he's gone through but still.'
"Something wrong Sweetie?" Richard asked, earning a quick slap on the head.
"Yes, stop calling me sweetie." The heiress replied.
"So we got another four days before the semifinals, what do you want to do?" Richard asked.
"Train of course."
"You're not even representing your team and you still want to train?"
"Of course, I can always get stronger and it would be good for you." Weiss answered.
"I have an idea, how about we go on a date tomorrow?"
"A-a date?"
"Yeah, we haven't really had a night out together and it could be helpful to unwind."
Weiss looked down to the ground with a pink flush on her face. She had never been on a date before. Of course she went to formal events and meetings with her family but nothing with just her and a boy, let alone her boyfriend. The thoughts ran through her mind. 'I've been alone with him before just not in public. But it can't be that big of a deal right?'
"Weiss you okay?" Richard asked, sitting up and looking worriedly at his girlfriend.
Weiss replied by giving the boy a quick peck on the lips. "Of course, and yes I would enjoy going out with you tomorrow."
Richard contained his excitement into a little fist bump as he lay back down in the bed. Weiss looked on as she rolled her eyes at the excitement of her boyfriend. "You really are a child aren't you?"
"Was I ever?" Richard replied.
Just then the two heard a thump on the outside of their door. Again charging over to it Weiss opened it to see the three other members of her team. Ruby was laying on the ground rubbing her head. "Well Rubes you gave away our position." Yang said.
"What are you talking about! You're the one that pushed me down!" Ruby whined.
"What are you all doing here!?" Weiss yelled, Interrupting the sisterly argument.
"Hehe well we were coming to see you and we saw Winter leave and then we overheard a conversation about a date and-" Ruby began.
"You wanted to hear more and not alert us." Richard finished for her, still lying down on the bed.
"Exactly! See I told you Wolfy would understand." Yang said.
"Ugh that nickname." Richard moaned.
"Hey, you let the ice queen call you it all the time!" Yang said as she walked over to the boy.
"Well she's my girlfriend." Richard retorted.
"That doesn't mean I can't do it." Yang said as the two stood face to face.
"Sometimes people would think you two are the couple." Blake said, causing the two to blush, Ruby to laugh and Weiss to get angry.
"What is that supposed to mean Blake?!" Weiss yelled.
Yang quickly smiled as a devious plot came into her mind. "Come on Weiss don't you think Wolfy and I would make a cute couple?" Yang asked smothering the black haired boy into her chest.
Ruby fell to the ground crying in laughter while even Blake had to let out a giggle as Weiss completely went berserk after seeing her boyfriend smothered into the voluptuous woman's chest. "Yang put him down right now." Weiss said sternly.
"Aww comes on he's enjoying it. Right Wolfy?"
Richard couldn't answer as his eyes were now replaced with swirls. He loved Weiss with all his heart but being smothered into the blonde brawlers chest was the dream of every boy at Beacon, and he was living it.
"You put him down right now!" Wiess ordered.
"Aww fine." Yang said releasing the Grimm Shifter to the ground. "You're no fun Weiss. Till next time Wolfy."
"Their will not be a next time." Weiss said walking over to her boyfriend and hitting him on top of the head. "Am I clear mister?"
"Yes ma'am!" Richard said subordinately.
Ruby was just now recovering from the laughter as she slowly stood up. "Geez Yang if I didn't know better I would think that you wanted to date Rich when he first showed up."
"Of course I did." Yang replied honestly, a small blush appearing on her cheeks.
Weiss then turned as her face was red with anger. She pulled out Myrtenaster and pointed it at the sisters. "Umm girls I think you should run." Richard said from behind the heiress.
The two sisters quickly took off down the hallway as the heiress followed behind them in close pursuit. Blake and Riched poked their heads out the door in time to the see the group turn the corner. "Should we help them?" Blake asked.
"Nah they will be alright."
"Weiss no!" They could hear Ruby scream.
"Probably" Richard finished.
"You're just saying that cause you enjoyed it." Blake said.
I will not lie." Richard said with a smirk.
"Now you just need Ruby and I."
"You offering?"
"I don't know, am I?" Blake said with a wink as she walked out of the room.
"I will take that as a raincheck!" Richard yelled after her, causing the Faunus to smile.
Later that night the couple rested in Richard's room ready for bed. Richard had already changed into his night clothes as he awaited the return of his girlfriend who was changing. "Why must you sleep here again?" The boy asked.
"Because Yang and Ruby are being immature little brats." The heiress replied from the bathroom.
"They locked you out of the room again didn't they?"
"Yeah." The heiress said lowly as she walked out of the bathroom. "Do you want me to leave?"
"Of course not. I love when you sleep with me." Richard said with a smirk.
"Dolt! Don't say it like that. Someone could get the wrong idea."
The boy just laughed as he looked over his girlfriend. She had her hair down to her back as her silver sleeping gown covered down to her knees. The heiress saw the stares of her boyfriend and looked away blushing. "Why are you staring at me?"
"Hmm, oh sorry. You just look really beautiful." Richard replied.
Weiss looked back at him startled. "D-dunce, why do I let you fluster me like this."
"Cause you love me." The boy said smugly, laying down in the bed.
The heiress let out a simple smile as she walked over to the bed and laid down with her boyfriend. Who in return quickly wrapped his arms around her and pulled her to his chest. "Go to bed Wolfy." She whispered as the two closed their eyes.
The next morning the heiress felt a sense of loneliness as she awoke. Opening her eyes she was met by a pair of red as before her stood her boyfriend hunched over and looking at her. The heiress quickly screamed and jumped out of the bed, landing back on it much to the amusement of the boy. "Woah calm down." He said between laughs.
"Dunce! What were you doing?"
"I could see you weren't awake so I waited for you and kinda wanted to be the first thing you saw." The boy spoke with a blush coming to his face.
Weiss simply blushed herself as she blinked a few times. "How is it your so sweet yet so dumb at the same time?" She asked.
"Hey I'm not dumb, just misinformed." The boy replied, sitting down next to the girl.
He looked at her to see her hair had not been ruined by a night of sleep. He gently ran his fingers through it. "Seems that even when you sleep you have perfect hair."
Weiss again slapped his hand away. "Dolt, how many times do I have to tell you." She then blushed and delivered a quick kiss to the boy's cheek. "But thank you."
"So when should we go on that date?"
The heiress took a second to ponder before she answered. "How about after lunch? That way we have time before dinner."
"Sounds like a plan." The boy said as he stretched. "So time for breakfast?" He asked while extending his hand to the heiress.
"Don't you think we should get dressed first?"
"Nope. I have no problem going like this." Richard replied with a grin.
"Well maybe you don't but I do, please excuse me for a second." The heiress said as she walked to the bathroom.
After Weiss had changed she and Richard walked down to the cafeteria for breakfast, the boy still wearing his night clothes. The pair caught numerous looks from people walking past as Weiss blushed red and clung to the boy. "You dolt people are staring at us."
"I can't help if people think we're a cute couple." Richard said with a laugh.
"That's not why they're staring and you know that."
Richard simply shot the heiress another smile and she rolled her eyes, accepting that this was the boy she decided to love.
Continuing on the couple arrived at the cafeteria and was able to get their breakfast. They were soon waved over by the other members of RWBY, Weiss was still upset over the actions of the sisters. As they sat the heiress turned her head away from the rest of her team.
"Aww come on Ice Queen don't be mad at your team." Yang poked.
"For the record I am not mad at Blake." Weiss retorted.
"Well that helps." Yang mumbled.
"Come on girls you should all make up. Weiss you know I love you and that you're the only girl for me, and Yang you should know how protective Weiss is and that we will always be friends." Richard said proudly.
The four girls all sat blinking at the boy. They all had the same thought of their minds. Did Richard actually say something smart?
"What is it?" The boy asked.
"Did you actually say something smart?" Yang asked.
"Hey! I can be very smart when I want to." The boy replied.
Weiss rolled her eyes before speaking. "Maybe so but it's a rare event."
"Very funny." The boy said pouting.
"Oh don't be such a baby, if it means that much to you I'll make it up to you during our date."
"Oh yeah you two have your date today." Ruby said.
"Yep I can't wait!" Richard said with a smile.
"Calm down it's just a date, I swear you act like such a child sometimes." Weiss said back a touch of malice entering her voice.
"Well it's not like I ever got a chance to be one.." Richard said beginning to poke at his food.
"Rich I didn't meant it like that-" Weiss began but was cut off as the boy stood up.
"I'm going to get ready. Cya back at my room." The boy said as he walked away.
The group all watched as he walked away, confusion on the face of all of them. Richard walked into the room and slammed the door behind him. He grabbed one of his blades and sliced the wall in frustration letting the sword stick into the wood. When he tried to pull it out the blade cut him and blood ran down his hand. He angrily slammed his hands on the desk as his scroll began to buzz.
