Alright, so I just want to make this as quick AP. Because no offence, but I'm kinda tired of kissing ass in this a/n all the time. So anyway, getting to the reviews.
Jane: like I said I don't do lemons, so pardon me on that. As for their relationship, I thought it was only fair to give the Whiterose couple a little comfort at an instant pace. I'm not trying to be stereotypical here, but because people with depression usually want to feel like they're loved by someone. I thought I'd make Weiss the loving character that takes care of Ruby both physically and emotionally because of her depression and possible suicidal thoughts (no spoilers). Like I said I don't exactly know how it feels, so I'm just trying to show the viewers that I'm at least giving those with the illness some enlightenment and happiness of this horrible illness.
jaden4321: Thank you for your feedback. You are someone with a good taste in amateur writing, so I appreciate that. I remembered when it snowed in May and June too, that was a shit show.
Zoroark0: thx man, I tried. I will try as best I can
Kagira Tachiki: Alright. I kinda agree on you there, I'll keep it out if you like in other lemon scenes maybe, but I don't expect to do another one soon.
Oh yeah, as you read. When it gets to the part where Ruby falls asleep, the next part of this chapter is in her dream, continuing where I left off. Anyway, thought I would clarify that before venturing on.
Future Edited: as of (10/27/2016)
Chapter 14: White Rose: Part 1
"Okay Ruby, just sign here." The doctor instructed, giving me a clipboard and a pen. I complied as I signed my name on the line provided and handed it back to the doctor at the reception.
"Have a good day hun!" She said as we waved goodbye. "And try not to get hurt again, I don't want to see you here unless it's for a checkup!"
I walked out of the hospital with my small luggage bag, where Blake, Yang and Weiss awaited me at the entrance. The gang greeted me with content smiles as I walked up to them, enveloping me a group hug. "Hey, it's good to see you guys." I said cheerfully as they released me from their holds. The snow had finally melted with the warm weather, leaving no traces of the white stuff anywhere in sight. We all started the trekk back home together as the morning sun rose. I had a welcoming feeling that today was gonna be a good day. Maybe it was because of my fantastic night with Weiss, but it just felt like a great day was dawning upon us. Feeling this, I smiled as we all stolled down the stone pathway of Beacon academy. We finally made it to the cafeteria. I hadn't realized how long the walk was until I saw the time, noting it took us a full hour to get from the hospital to the caf. I looked at the menu, reading the food being served today and imagining it in my mind as my mouth started to water.
"I'll get your food for you Ruby, you go and sit down." Weiss said as she patted me on the back.
"Are you sure? I can get it myself." I asked.
Weiss simply nodded. "It's fine, just tell me what you want, I'll pay for it." She replied.
I nodded as I told her what I wanted. They had a special hot chocolate with little sugar roses in them, and a nice, big eclair that had chocolate syrup along with whipped cream in it that was screaming my name. Weiss nodded as she got into the fairly busy lineup, leaving me to find a seat. I looked around the building, noticing it was a nice day outside. Fortunately all the tables outside weren't taken as well. I smiled as I waved my hand to Weiss, motioning to come outside with the orders when she got them as I walked out the door.
I sat down at one of the picnic benches and took a big whiff of the nice summer air. There was a lovely warm breeze that whistled through the pillars of the dining hall that almost sounded like singing from the gods. As I admired today's weather, Weiss plopped my order down and sat next to me, with Yang and Blake in-tow sitting in front of us, and soon, team JNPR as well.
"Hey guys, Hey Ruby. How're you feeling?" Ren asked, I smiled as I waved to them.
"I'm great. It's a lovely day out, there's a nice warm breeze blowing through here, life's good." I said contently as team JNPR sat down next to us. They talked about their week's so far, how they were doing and what-not, and after breakfast we all walked around the school yard and talked about schooling and stuff for this year.
"...And then I hit 'em with my hammer!" Nora exclaimed with enthusiasm, ending her weird dream about a live game show called 'Smack-A-Grimm'. 'I always wonder what goes on in that little head of Nora's...'
"So Ruby, any weird stories or anything? Annyythiiingg?" Nora asked, sounding like she knew something I didn't.
"W-well, there is this one weird dream I've been having about a white-haired Faunus girl lost in the woods. I can't remember her name, but she kept saying her father was missing and she couldn't find him. That's about as odd a dream as I've had all this week." I stated, making all of team JNPR look right at Weiss, whom noted the sudden attention to her in a confused look.
"What?" Weiss asked, to which no one said anything.
"Nothing, don't worry about it." Jaune said, looking at his watch soon later and gasping in his oddly feminine tone.
"Shit! We're gonna be late for our teamwork session!" Jaune exclaimed. "Sorry guys, we gotta go!"
Jaune turned around and ran the way we had originally came, with his team in-tow, opposite of the academy.
"They do realize the training area's in the plaza of the school, right?" Yang asked. As soon as she said that, JNPR bolted the other way.
"Wrong way!" Jaune said as he passed us again, as we all laughed and sat on the bench at the statue.
I looked up to the sky, barely noticing it was already evening until now, I didn't even notice the time until Jaune said something about it. I yawned, rubbing my eyes a bit to wipe away the growing fatigue.
"You tired honey?" Weiss asked in a sweet tone. To which I nodded my head.
"I didn't get much sleep last night, someone kept me up all night." I exaggerated, looking at Weiss surprisingly. Weiss shrugged her arms.
"It was mandatory. Besides, it didn't look like you were annoyed by my company." Weiss shot back. I sighed.
"I guess you're right, thank you by the way." I spoke, making Weiss smile.
"Well. We'll leave you two lovebirds alone. We're gonna go watch Jaune's teamwork training sesh," Yang spoke, grabbing Blake's hand. "See ya!"
And with that, Yang bolted off with Blake. I yawned again, this time a lot louder than the previous one.
"Come on sweetheart. Let's go take a nap." Weiss spoke, grabbing my hand and pulling me up off the bench as we walked hand-in-hand the whole way to our dorms.
Weiss closed the door behind us. I sat on her bed as she closed the curtains as well. Weiss pulled me off of her bed and helped me get undressed, throwing her clothes on the ground next to mine. As I was about to slip on my tank top, Weiss held her hand out, stopping me mid-point.
"You don't need to wear clothes to take a quick nap hun, just keep on your underwear." Weiss stated.
"Okay," I complied, throwing my tank top on the dresser. "If you say so."
Weiss helped me into bed, undoing her hairpin and letting her hair flow down. She threw the band on the bookshelf and walked back. The heiress slipped into bed and wrapped her arms around me as we kissed. Though we were both undressed in bed together, I felt comfortable exposing myself to her. I felt safe near her. I rolled over and moved into Weiss' body, spooning her as she hugged me gently, but snugly. Weiss began to hum quietly, making me drowsier and drowsier as she did so. I soon fell into a deep sleep, cradled in Weiss' body.
I heard the crackling of a fire near me as I started to wake up, noting I was wrapped in my cape. It felt nice and warm as I came to life again. I moaned as I tried to move, but fell hopeless to a striking pain in my body, making me retreat back down. I looked up to see Weiss sitting on the ground with my head in her lap, a smile on her face as she knew I was awake again.
"Hey there. Good to see you awake sleepyhead. I was starting to worry that you fell into a coma from the blood loss," Weiss greeted. I looked to my side to see a warming fire was glowing brightly a few feet away from us. "How are you feeling?"
"My body hurts." I simply replied.
"Alright, hold on."
Weiss held out her closest hand to me, where one of her small red glyph's permeated. She put said hand onto my upper left chest and the glyph started to beat again. My body jolted upwards as I felt the effects of Weiss' spell, but Weiss lowered me back down onto her lap again. I started to breathe more calmly and collectively as I felt the pain fade away from my body again. "Thanks Weiss." I said quietly, though loud enough for her to hear. Weiss smiled.
"Your welcome." She said contently, tilting her head to the side as she did a little giggle. "I made this glyph a little less numbing, to allow you to move a bit at least. But you probably won't be able to eat on your own, with or without the glyph."
"W-why?" I asked, a tad bit scared of her answer.
"It's nothing to worry about. It's just that if I remove the glyph, you'll feel the full effects of the pain. It might make you flinch while you're trying to eat. The wounds aren't too deep, but it's enough to make you weak in the knees and sensitive in the arms."
"And if you keep the glyph on?"
"Then you won't feel your arms at all. The way the glyph works, it numbs the receptors in any area of your body with a sort of ice semblance. It dulls the pain, but also makes you weak as well," Weiss explained, trying to balance my options. "Look. I know it's a little close for your comfort. But I want to make sure you eat something, even if it's just a little-"
"Can you help me eat?" I asked Weiss, looking right at her as I cut her off mid-point.
"Y-you're okay with me, helping you?" Weiss asked, confused.
"I'm fine with it," I said. "If it means I eat without pain, then so be it."
"E-even if it's, like,'close' close?" Weiss persisted.
"Whatever it takes." I replied. Weiss sat, speechless for a quick moment as she tried to compute what I said.
"Y-you're okay with letting a total stranger, especially a Faunus, assist you in eating, getting changed, cleaning out your wounds-"
"Of course," I interrupted again. Weiss looked at me with the strangest of looks. "I might not know you all too well, but I trust you in helping me as much as I would my sister."
I looked at her with admiration in my eyes. "Even if you're a Faunus."
The last comment made her stunned as ever. Weiss couldn't believe my trust in her. She was shocked by my words of honesty.
"O-okay,"Weiss said, strangely unconfident. "Let me get you a bowl and something to drink then."
In about twenty minutes of watching the faunus run back and forth with the food and the drink. Weiss finally sat back down next to me, putting the meal down beside me as she lifted me up slowly. I felt no pain, as it was replaced by a numbing high as she lowered me back down onto her kneeling leg, resting me gently on her thigh as she got the food ready beside me. Weiss picked up the bowl and took a moderate sized spoonful from the bowl. It was a sort of vegetable soup. It looked like it was made with fresh plants around the forest, which was the only explanation because I hadn't packed any vegetables with me the morning before the trek. Well, none that I saw myself pack. I opened my mouth as she put the spoon in my mouth, pulling it back out empty.
"How is it?" Weiss asked, awaiting my answer. I opened my mouth as steam from the soup left my trap.
"It's a little hot." I answered.
"Oh, sorry, hold on." Weiss said. She made another glyph on the top of the bowl and it began to spin. It disappeared about a moment later as Weiss took another spoonful and fed it to me. I nodded in perfection as I swallowed.
"That's delicious Weiss," I said, smiling. "Where'd you learn to make this?"
"My mother showed me. We live mostly in the forest, in a cabin my father built out of the raw materials of the forest." Weiss replied, giving me another helping.
"How cool, I live in the forest too." I replied as we both smiled.
I finished my bowl of soup, licking my lips in happiness. "Weiss, can I have some more?" I asked Weiss, giving her the best puppy-ish look I could give her. Weiss grinned.
"Of course." The white haired girl said as lowered me back onto the ground and went to the pot above the fire. She took another spoonful and put it in the bowl, fixing the temperature with her glyph.
"Hey Ruby. Can I ask you something?" Weiss asked.
"Of course, what is it?" I replied, unable to nod my head in acceptance of her question. Weiss walked back up to me, resting me back onto her leg again.
"I was just wondering why you were so acceptive of me doing this for you. You know I'm a Faunus, so why don't you hate me like everyone else does in society?" Weiss asked, feeding me as she spoke. I cleared my throat before confessing.
"Well, you just seemed so lost, so afraid. I didn't want you to be hurt in this thick forest all by yourself, so I decided to help you find your parents." I answered, half the truth. Weiss looked at me sympathetically.
"Is that it, or is there another reason?" Weiss asked. I sighed.
"Well, I once had a friend who was a Faunus, just like you. Her name was Silica, she was a fox Faunus. When we grew up together at our huntress academy called Signal, she was bullied a lot for her majestic tail and her ears. They picked on her, bullied her, called her names. She'd always come to me, with bruises and black eyes, looking for comfort and love. One day it was just the worst. Her uncle just passed away and she just got word of it a day later, the girls smacked her around and called her a bitch, cutting her hair off and scratching her ears with the scissors as they took all her hair out. Silica looked like a shaved sheep when they were finished, throwing her out in the hallways for the bullies to start calling her names and beating her up. Before I knew it, she was running away with tears in her eyes," I paused, looking down at my feet emotionlessly. "I don't remember exactly what I did, but from what I heard from one of my girl friends, I took out Crescent Rose and I pummelled all of them, everyone that was involved, to literally a bloody pulp. I made the girl who cut her hair off eat the strands as I gave her a swirly, apparently I cut off one of the girls' uniforms also. When they tried to bring me back to society I was spazzing out. I continued to fight each and every last one of them until they all had a brutal punishment. Windows were smashed, unconscious bodies everywhere. It looked like a murder scene."
tears started to trickle down. Weiss put down the bowl and consoled me as I continued my story. "After my payback, I heard a large bang of a gun above me. I remembered that Silica had run up the stairs and probably in our dormrooms. I ran as fast as I could with my semblance. When I got to my dormroom everyone was crowded around the entrance and the door was wide open. My best friend who was at the scene looked at me with worry as she touched my shoulder and said she was sorry. When I finally got through the crowd, I saw Silica laying on the floor, campus paramedics on the scene as they picked up her body and put it in a bag."
Tears started to roll down my face. "There was blood all over the walls, 'mistake' and 'just die' in bold letters, the gun she used was in an evidence bag. I just sunk to the floor and cried. I let my feelings for her loss go as my friends and the people at the scene comforted me. When I got a hold of myself finally the paramedics gave me a letter addressed to me. They said it was from her and they found it on her bed. It was a long letter, but it basically told me that she loved me for being her friend, how she was gonna miss me and stuff. But she asked me to swear an oath to her that I would never make fun of Faunuses and I would always do my best for them. Even if it was the smallest things. So that's kinda why I respect you, because I want to help you as best as I can."
Weiss smiled. She too with tears in her eyes. She wiped my face with a napkin and hugged me. "Thank you Ruby."
After my second helping and my drink Weiss talked all about her family. She told me of how her father was an amazing huntsman and her mother a medic with special powers. Weiss told me of her special powers that can replace certain medicine in emergencies, and how her mother has saved many lives with it. Afterwards Weiss picked up a bucket and a cloth and came up to me.
"U-um.. is it alright if I... undo your dress so I can clean your wounds?" Weiss asked hesitantly as she looked away in embarrassment.
"Mhmm. It's alright. I'm comfortable with you helping me in my time of need." I said. Weiss turned her head back to me.
"O-okay." Weiss said. She undid my bandages first, wrapping them up in a ball and throwing them aside. She then undid my dress, lifting me up as it fell to the ground in a ball, then putting me back down using my cape as a blanket. Weiss increased the dosage on the glyph as she started to coat the wounds with rubbing alcohol. My body fell completely numb as I laid there, barely able to even move my eyes around as Weiss did her job. After finishing the task of wrapping me in bandages and gauze she lowered the dosage again, making my body vibrate as I started to regain feeling. The spell was still in effect, but I was able to slightly move some parts of my body as I laid there. Weiss put my dress back on and laid me near the fire. "There, all done," Weiss stated as she threw the bandages away, and sat down beside me. "Now. I know a spell that can put you to sleep, but it kinda requires.. a bit of courage."
I looked at her confusedly. "Courage?" I asked.
"Do you want me to do it or not?!" Weiss asked, defensive of her request. To which I quickly and cautiously nodded in compliance.
"I'm alright with it, As long as it puts me to sleep." I responded as Weiss nodded.
"Alright, just don't say I didn't warn you." She said.
"But you didn't even tell me wh-"
I was suddenly interrupted by soft lips against mine. My eyes widened as I laid in Weiss' arms, unable to object or react in any way other way other than acceptance. I let out a shocked muffle, but was soon replaced by a moan in bliss as my eyes started to lose focus. I closed my eyes and let sleep, and Weiss' medical spell, lure me into a deep sleep. I felt Weiss lower me back down to the ground as she kissed my forehead.
"Goodnight. Sweet, little rose."
So I thought I should say this now before I forget this part of the plot completely. I thought Silica should actually be one of Ruby's friends from Signal academy. It's another reason Ruby's illness' gotten worse. So spoiler alert. Anyway. Also, I'm sorry to do this, but I want to work on my other story (Broken novel I was talking about in the first few chapters). Because I honestly haven't even looked into it for about a month now, so I want to make adjustments to it and hopefully finish editing the tenth chapter of that. Anyway, I look forward to reading your reviews. And as always, stay tuned!
