Author's Note: Hope you guys are enjoying your holidays so far! If you haven't already, you should check out my RWBY One-shot for New Years called 'On a New Year's Eve'.
Her vision was blurred as she raced through the corridors of Beacon, barely dodging other students who were collecting books from their dorms or going to their next class. Certain people had classes off with what had happened, Nora being one of them, Ren being another. She – and the rest of Team JNPR – had been told where Ren was saying in case they needed him, but they were not allowed to enter without his permission. Hastily, she knocked on the door three times. Silence hung around for a few seconds until Nora knocked twice more. A quiet shuffle sounded out of the room which Nora picked up on like a bat.
"Who is it?" Ren weakly croaked from the other side of the door.
"It's me Ren." Nora cheered after hearing his voice again, even if he did sound like he'd been brought back from the dead. The door made a few loud clicks and then one beep. The door opened to reveal Ren in his private room. Nothing was special about the room except it had extra locks and an emergency panel. The beds, windows, closet and bathroom were all located in the same place like every other bedroom.
"Hey Nora, how are you?" Ren struggled out a smile. Nora walked into his room and jumped, butt first, onto her bed.
"I'm doing alright I suppose." Nora chirped.
"So how's Cardin?" Ren asked softly.
Nora shifted awkwardly and sighed, "We aren't really together anymore… Not after all that happened. Besides from that, I think he's good. Well, he lost an arm and his girlfriend… He's been kicked from the school and he's going to jail… So maybe he's not so good…" Nora rambled on, having to have Ren forcefully stop her by pulling her into a gentle hug. Nora swooned in his arms having longed his affectionate touch for a while now. Ren smiled down at her, she replied with one right back at him and a small child-like giggle. They stared into each other's eyes for a few moments, just admiring the other as the sun moved across the sky slowly. Their heads leisurely moved closer together until their lips were only centimetres from touching. Nora puckered her lips, about to explode from desire until Ren looked away and pushed Nora out of his arms.
"I'm sorry, I'm still dating Weiss, remember?" Ren apologised after realising his situation, hanging his head low. Nora tightly gripped his shirt, using his weakness against him, shoving him into a wall and pushing her lips against his. Ren couldn't fight back with how much strength Nora was using, even with his struggling, all his efforts were futile. Nora was insanely enjoying this moment, even though he was being forced to do it, but he'd be lying if he said he hated it. She quickly slithered her tongue into his mouth; Ren forced his tongue to stand its ground. Nora began to slide her hands up his shirt and explore his chest. Ren was beginning to love the feelings he was getting from Nora until someone knocking sounded out from the other side of the door. The ginger-haired girl ignored the knocking as her hands wondered lower, but Ren began to panic as he knew who was behind the door.
Weiss tapped her foot impatiently, waiting for Ren to open the door and greet her with a kiss. She held a bouquet of flowers in one hand and a Schnee Company Teddy Bear with her symbol on the back of its shirt. The bear carried a few mint chocolates in its arms which were Ren's favourites. A few bumps and voices from rung out from inside the room telling her that he was not alone. She listened closer to the noises with her ear up against the door. She could determine that two people were inside, one obviously being Ren and the other was Nora. Weiss had mixed feelings about Nora being alone with Ren, after what happened with Nora and herself over Ren made her despise Nora, but Nora was Ren's friend before she even knew either of them, so she had to respect that they could still be friends with one another. Regardless of this, she felt as if she needed to get in the room more than before, wanting to make sure he was being faithful and she was keeping her lips off him. She knocked harder than before, hearing Ren speak with urgency in his voice. Weiss laid on the hallway floor, trying to peak under the door, with the room's carpet getting in half of her vision. She saw parts of two people of the floor, the one on the bottom struggling to get up and the other holding them down. She could tell by the clothing who was who and began to panic. Weiss shot up from the floor and started pounding on the door using all her weight and might against it hearing it crack slightly with each charge.
"Do you enjoy destroying school property, Miss Schnee?" Ozpin sighed, mainly leaning on his walking stick.
Weiss shrieked with fright and jumped to some extent. "I'm sorry Sir, it's just important I get in there." She apologised with her hands balled into fists.
"What's the reason? If it's locked, it's because he's sleeping or doesn't want to speak to anyone right now." Ozpin explained.
"Yes I know, but I someone else is in there and I think he may be in trouble." Weiss fretted in panic. Ozpin stared at her for a moment, taking in the words she was blabbering.
"And why do you think he's in trouble?" Ozpin asked casually.
"I can hear banging sounds and I heard him say 'help me'." Weiss lied, almost ready to get on her knees and beg.
"If you think it's that important, I'll open the door, but you cannot enter unless he says its okay, alright Miss Schnee?" Ozpin exhaled loudly, fumbling with his master key card. Weiss nodded enthusiastically. He placed his card up against the lock and it clicked multiple times until it opened for him. "Is everything alright he-" He stopped after seeing the sight of Nora rubbing against Ren, with him enjoying it intently. "Sorry, another time perhaps." Ozpin coughed, mildly disturb even though it wasn't the first time he'd walked in on two students getting wild. Ozpin grasped the door handle and began to close the door until Weiss dashed under his arm and through the sealing crack in the door and frame. After seeing sight in front of her, she dropped her bouquet and bear, then dropped to her knees, beginning to cry. Nora looked at her, intently watching the tears fall from her eyes down to her cheeks. She wasn't sure whether she was happy seeing Weiss upset or sadden that she really cared about Ren that much. Ren laid on the floor, helplessly, trying to muster up some words to help with the condition Weiss was in, but left speechless.
Ozpin stood in the doorway, holding a hand for Weiss to grab. "Come on Weiss, I'll walk you to your room if you'd like." Weiss grabbed a hold of his hand and stomped on the flowers she'd brought for Ren on her way out. Tears still ran down her face as she tried to muffle the sobs that popped out every now and then. "Would you prefer to go to your room, my office or some other place to rest for a few hours?" Ozpin asked generously.
She spent some time thinking before answering, "Can I go to your office? People will try and find me if I'm in my room…"
"Sure thing." He smiled, trying to cheer her up.
The rest of the walk was in silence until they arrived at his office. "Here we are Miss Schnee. I'll bring you a cup of hot chocolate. Make yourself comfortable." He said soothingly as he opened the door and walked away with his empty cup in hand. Blake and Velvet sat together in the corner of the room. She noticed that Blake's eyes were red from tears as hers would be soon. She didn't know what was wrong with Blake as they were still on the rocks from when Weiss snapped at her a few days ago, then finding out she was a Faunus. The room was noiseless, no one speaking or even moving after Weiss sat down on Ozpin's large window ceil looking over the courtyard, the garden, Forever Fall and a large portion of Vale City.
A few minutes past with Weiss crying and staring out over the city and Blake and Velvet now smiling and cuddling in the corner until Velvet stood up and spoke, "I'm sorry babe, but I've gotta run since I've got a meeting with Professor Oobleck about racism at the school." She pecked her on the cheek, gave her a reassuring rub on the back that turned into a flirtatious fondle as it reached the front of her chest. She waved goodbye to Weiss as she left the room leaving Blake and Weiss alone together.
Weiss continued to wipe the tears from her face as Blake built up the courage to stand up and walk over to her. "What's up?" Blake said softly, placing a careful, but caring hand on her shoulder.
Weiss flinched when the hand touched her and replied. "N… Nothing."
"Come on and tell me, I might be able to help." Blake gave a small smile.
"Why are you being nice to me after I said nasty things to you?" Weiss asked curiously.
Blake responded, "Because even though those words hurt, and still do, I think friends are, sort of… important." She realised how impactful friends are on bad situations such as almost being raped and how they can help you see the light.
Weiss stared silently for a short while before speaking back at her, "What happened was, um, Nora and Ren…" She didn't need to say anything more for Blake to figure out what had happened.
"That scumbag!" Blake gritted her teeth. Weiss wasn't overly happy with Blake calling the man she still loved a scumbag, but she ignored it as she felt like saying things like that too. "Do you want me to talk to him…? Or beat him up?" Blake asked.
"No, don't do that. I'll talk to him when I feel better." Weiss sighed and looked back out the window, seeing the light shine across the red leaves of Forever Fall. Blake felt oddly happy compared to a few hours ago, she didn't know if it was because of her and Weiss being friends once more or the fact that she had her mind taken out of the dark for a while, but she liked the feeling of being happy again.
"I've been going through a tough time lately as well… I didn't want to talk about it and I pushed it down in my mind, but when I started talking to friends like Velvet, Ozpin and now you, I feel a whole lot better now." Blake smiled into Weiss' frosty eyes, leaving a trail of hope behind. "I don't know why you're here though. Did you stab Nora or something?" Blake asked, hiding her smile in case that's actually what happened, or worse.
"No, nothing at all happened really, which, in a way, makes me even more upset. I just froze and my knees buckled and I fell to the ground. I didn't fight back, I just looked weak as Nora stared at me with her endless gaze…" Weiss held her knees up to her chin, leaning against the window, watching her breath leave small amounts of fog as she spoke.
"Well at least you're not in trouble, but as I asked before why are you here then?" Blake sat down on Ozpin's desk, awaiting the response.
"Ozpin asked if he could escort me to my room, his office or some other place. I chose her since I didn't want someone to come find me so easily after they hear about the news."
"Ah, alright. I've done more than enough talking to last me a year today, so I think I'm going to collapse in one of these chairs. Goodnight Weiss." Blake beamed as she snuggled down into the most comfortable chair she could find in his office.
"Why don't you go to our bedroom?" Weiss asked.
"Can't, part of my 'tough time' is that I'm under questioning from the police and I can't leave this room until Ozpin or the cops give me the 'okay'." Blake sighed before shutting her eyes. Weiss still didn't know what her 'tough time' was, but that could wait as the normally quiet girl needed her rest after whatever happened to her today. After a few minutes of almost dead silence – Blake's soft snoring chimed out every so-often – Weiss was feeling drowsy and began drifting off, sick of the day and tired of waiting for her hot chocolate.
