"Weiss?" Gray asked sounding like a scared kid.
"Mmm?" I mumble, shifting in my sleep.
"Hold me?" I break open my eyes to see Gray smiling softly.
"Fine." I wrap my arms around him and continue to try to sleep.
"Your dad's coming isn't he?" I sigh and snuggle into the crook of his neck.
"Ah, yup."
"And your not worried?"
"Not really."
"You switch between emotions like that." Gray snaps to emphasize his statement.
"That's basically how I put up banging you, honestly."
"Damn. That hurts Schnee."
I move my head to kiss him before laying it back down on his chest. "That do anything?"
"Maybe? You kinda really hurt my soul."
"Well, it's too early to get, that." I yawn. "Now, go back to sleep. I at least want to be awake when my father comes."
"I wanna be asleep when he murders me." I drag the one-eyed man out of my bed and he flops on the floor. "Ugh, fine."
"Thank you." I go to the bathroom and brush my teeth. When I come back, Gray is still on the floor. "Graayy. Come on." He peels his face from the floor and crawls to the bathroom. Eventually, I hear the shower turn on, so I wait patiently for him to get out.
So, big day is finally here, huh? Well, how could Gray fuck this up? Hmm, scratch that, how could he not fuck this up?
"Hey, Schnee!"
"Hmm?" He points to the bathroom in a towel and I jump up, grabbing some clothes on the way inside. After stepping into the already warm shower, I let my mind wonder while I wash myself.
Gray's got this. My dad won't kill him. After all mother said he's dulled down since Winter. Even more so, when he found out that I wouldn't be needing anymore suitors. However, with Gray being…Gray, father will definitely have some disagreements with him. I could see it now. Father running after Gray and Gray begging for my help.
I chuckle at the thought. Not wanting to hold Gray up, I step out of the shower. I dry myself and look in the mirror. "We've got this." I smiled.
"We don't got this." Gray sighed. We were walking down the halls of my home, hand in hand, and we were arriving at the dining hall.
"We totally got this."
"No. We don't. I. Am. Going. To. Die." I pecked his cheek and smiled.
"Don't worry. Mother said that he calmed down ever since Winter. And I'm pretty sure he's even better now that I actually have a boyfriend, instead of a suitor."
"So, your telling me that your father was angry at first with Winter's boyfriend, and you expect that he'll be all sunshine and rainbows when he sees me?"
"Yeah."
"I sometimes wonder how you switch to Weiss and…"
"Dumb?"
"Yes."
"Well, you've rubbed off on me. Don't. Say. Anything." Knowing Gray, he would've said something perverted, but luckily, I beat him. Said boy raised his hands in a sign of defeat, one hand having mine interlocked with it, causing my hand to fly up.
"Well, we can eat breakfast in-" Just before he finished we turned the corner into the dinning hall, seeing my mother…and my father. "Peeeaaccee." Gray came to a stop when he saw my father. My father turned his attention to us, giving a small smile at the sight of me. The smile then faltered slightly when he looked at Gray. "Ah, Weiss. Good morning. And I take it this is your 'boyfriend'"? I was growing more nervous every time he talked.
"Yes, father. This is Gray. Gray this is my father." I motioned the two and my father rose from his seat. Gray's grip on my hand tightened as he walked closer. My father had snow white hair, with small amounts of gray in it. He was slightly taller than Gray and had a look of anger on his face. My father stopped in front of Gray, tilting his head slightly so he could look Gray in the eye.
"I'm Adam. Weiss' father. Please to meet you." My father extended a hand to Gray. My boyfriend cautiously removed his hand from mine to shake my fathers. A million thoughts filled mind as they're hands grew closer and closer.
My father has some electrical Dust in his hand and is going to kill Gray! He's got poison on his hand! Gray might not know how to shake a hand!
The last one seemed a bit off, but I was extremely nervous anyways. The two shook each other's hand firmly before moving them back to they're respective sides. I instantly grasped Gray's hand as soon as it was at his side. "Please come sit. We wouldn't want to stand around, now do we?" My father turned around and walked back to his seat. Gray and I exchanged glances before walking to some seats. I slowly dragged Gray to a seat next to me and we sat down, Gray and I on one side, my mother on the other and my father at the end of the table. We were all pretty close and that only added to my anxiety.
"So, Mr. Gray. You're a member of my daughters team, correct?" Gray nodded.
"Y-yes, sir." He stuttered. I grabbed his hand, trying to relax him. It worked. My father chuckled.
"Oh, there's no reason to be afraid, my boy. I'm just interested on how you met my daughter. Please, relax and then tell me how you met." Gray looked at me and sighed.
"Well, Mr. Schnee, we meet in the most…dramatic of ways. Me and a friend of mine were walking through the campus of Beacon, when my friend fell over Weiss' luggage. Weiss being Weiss, she proceeded to yell at the both of us, while shaking a vial of Dust to prove her point." I blush and hide my face whole Gray continues.
Well, at least he's more open then deathly afraid.
"…Then after the smoke cleared, Weiss yelled at us some more before walking off." My parents chuckled softly after the reenactment. I playfully slap Gray under the table and his laughs.
"Well, you two didn't have a great introduction to each other." He turned his attention to Gray. "So, what made you fall for my daughter? Looks? Or because her last name is 'Schnee'?"
"Well Mr. Schnee, it was her personality, looks and her determination to be the best of the best. Even if it included helped me."
"So, she was like a role model to you."
"Actually, it's the other way around. Before the night I lost my eye, we got into a argument. Weiss called me some things, and our leader explained to her that what she said was awful. I went through a lot when I was a kid. Abuse. Everything awful."
"That's right, you're a Beast correct?"
"Yeah. Anyways, she apologized and hugged me." Father raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"Is that so? That's a rare thing to hear, isn't Annalise?" My mother smiled.
"Yes, we don't hear that very often, Gray. You see, Weiss has the signature 'Schnee cold shell'. So, hearing that she's doing these things is very, surprising, to say the least."
"Oh, I'm sorry if-"
"Oh, no Gray your just fine. You've made more progress in a few months, then I did in years." My mother retorted. "Weiss was always shut away from people because of us. I'm glad she has someone to show her things."
"Now, Annalise, let's not get ahead of ourselves. I still need to justify if he's right for her." I decide to interrupt.
"Father, I don't think you can decide what's best for my relationsh-"
"Weiss, please. I still don't know much about him." I sit back in my chair, arms crossed. Gray runs a thumb on my hand, and I quickly smile at him. "As I was saying, you may have slightly change our daughter much to our surprise…" I say.
Change? You haven't even seen me yet. Flaunting myself because of Gray? Being flaunted?
"…However, that doesn't mean I trust you with her safety."
"That's a understandable reason. Please, continue asking so your…justification, is done. If I said that right." My father scratches his chin while he thought. I balled my hand into a fist, waiting impatiently.
"So," He began. "What makes you think that your right for my daughter?" Gray glanced at me before staring back at the man who asked the question.
"Well, with all due respect Mr. Schnee, Weiss has really chosen me. I didn't really go up to her and ask her, she kinda chose me." Gray explained. "Also, she must have been on hundreds of dates with suitors you sent, all of them ending up denied. She also had even more guys at Beacon ask her out, so I must be something special." He continued matter-of-factly. My parents both nodded as Gray spoke, both of them seem to be judging him.
"He's not wrong, Adam."
"Yes, he is correct. Please, continue." My father gestured.
"Well, Weiss has known me for, what was it two years?" He asked me.
"Yes. About two."
"Yeah, so we're pretty well acquainted. We were close after my mental breakdown, which was pretty close to the middle of the year."
"Hmm…what do you think, Annalise?"
"With the small amounts of time I talked with Gray, it seems that he is…just right for our daughter." I slump into my chair slightly in relief. My father hummed at my mother's choice.
"Mr. Gray. You know I'm a family man and a business man."
"Yes."
"And you know that my family comes before business, correct?"
"Yes."
"So," My father sat back into his chair while interlacing his fingers together. "You know that I care deeply for my daughter, Weiss."
"Yes." Gray was looking more and more nervous as my father went on.
"So, I want her to be safe. Be safe with anyone. Including you." He stared at Gray intensely before speaking. "Would you keep her safe? Can you keep my daughter safe? Will, you keep her safe?" Gray looked down and thought as me, and my parents stare at him, waiting for a answer. The room was filled with a long silence, until, Gray finally anwsered.
"I'm not one hundred percent sure but, I know I'll try my hardest." My father smiled.
"A man that knows his limits. A good trait to have. Alright. From what I've heard and seen, you and Weiss are extremely close. I will allow you to 'date' my daughter." I sigh and laugh while looking at Gray. "Now, that doesn't mean I agree with this. However, I will let this pass." My father rises up and leaves. My mother watched him leave before getting up as well and walk to us.
"Congratulations, Gray. Oh, and don't worry. He does like this relationship. He's just a bit on the cold feeling side." She pretended to whisper. Once my parents were out of sight, Gray sighed loudly and slid down his chair.
"God damn. That, was stressful."
"I know. I wonder if that's how it was for Winter and her boyfriend."
"Don't know, don't care." We sit in a comfortable, relaxing silence as we calm down.
"You know, I thought it was going to be more of 'I'm gonna kill you' then a interrogation."
"Yeah. I was expecting, oh I don't know, suitors to jump out of the walls and attack me." Gray explained while flailing his arms.
"If that happened, I wouldn't even be mad. It be a funny sight."
"How was it, having suitors I mean."
"Well, let's just say we didn't get to do anything that me and you did before we dated."
"What, like 'cuddling'?"
"Yeah, if you could call whatever we were doing cuddling." After a few minutes Gray groans.
"Hey, can we go back to your room? I feel like your parents are listening in while forming a plan to murder me with some crazy Dust invention."
"Sure. And my mother would never do that. She actually seems to like you. Your different then the people she meets every day. Now, my father. That's a different story." Gray stands up and takes my hand and we walk back to my room. "You know, it's still weird seeing you be a gentlemen."
"What? I can be one. I'm just not one most of the time. Besides, you like being treated like crap sometimes. Hair pulling, calling you names, hey I got an entire list."
"Yeah, yeah. Whatever." Gray opens the door and we both fall onto my bed, sighing in relief. "Do you believe my father."
"Fuck no. But, I have to try to."
"So, are we gonna hide here until we go back to lovely Beacon?" I nod while snuggling my head into Gray's neck. "Well, movies?"
"Huh?"
"Oh, come on Weiss. Your father is here. We can't do that. Even if your mom knows."
"Ugh, that weirds me out so much."
"Trust me, it's worse for me. I'm the one that's doin' it!"
"Alright! You don't have to say it. Let's watch something." Gray grabs his scroll and started up a movie while I got comfortable by his side.
"Weiss. Hey, Schnee. Sexy!"
"Mm?"
"It's about that time to go." I sat up and rubbed my eyes groggily. Gray poked my cheek and I groaned at him. "Come on. Let's get our stuff. We can sleep on the train." I yawn and stretched, while Gray grabbed his thrown clothes and placed them in his bags. I quickly joined him, while still rubbing the sleep out of my eyes.
Few hours later,
After we packed our stuff, Gray grabbed our luggage and we walked through the halls of my home one final time. A 'servant', a poor Faunus girl, walked up to us with a nervous look on her face. "E-excuse me, Miss. Schnee? Y-you're parents want you to go t-to your father's study. Only you." I looked at Gray worried. I hesitantly walked out the corridor and into the main entrance of the mansion. Up the stairs, I turned left an walked down the hallway, the hallway felt much longer then it was. At the end of the hallway, there was a door. Of course, the hallway had doors on the way down but, this one was much more intimidating. I knocked on the door.
A muffled 'come in, Weiss' came from the room. Opening the door, I was greeted by my parents. My father was sitting behind his desk, arms on desk while hiding his face with his bounded hands. My mother was right behind him. "Weiss. Please sit down. I won't take long." I sat down and hid my shaking legs. "So, about Gray."
"You said you'd allowed us to be together."
"I know. But I have one question for you." My father gazed into my eyes, making me feel more uneasy. "Are you, in love with that boy?" I flinched slightly at the question. I hesitated and my father grew slightly impatient. "Well?"
"I-I do. I do love Gray." My father chuckled along with my mother.
"See, Adam? I knew it." My mother said.
"Well, that is unexpected. I thought this was 'puppy love'. You are just like Winter. Madly in love with a boy. Only to break off the ties with him." I hold my tongue so I don't make things worse. "Well, I don't want you two to wait much longer. You're dismissed Weiss."
Honestly, that's him being affectionate?
I stand and head to the door. "Oh, and Weiss?"
"Yes, father?"
"We love you." I smile slightly before running down the hall. I see Gray fiddling with our stuff and I jump into his arms.
And then he does that?!
"Weiss! What the heck?!"
"Nothing, let's just go."
"Are you ok?"
"I'm fine. Let's just go!" I basically drag Gray out the door and shove him into the limo, with him still holding our stuff.
"Weiss! It's really cramped!" I jumped into the back of the limo, with the difficulty of the sizeable luggage, and the chauffer drives off and to my family's private station. Looking out the window I see my mother waving in my father's study. I smile and wave back.
Thank you.
Whew! That was a long one! Did you guys like it? I'm starting to write more and more long chapters for all of the stories that I'm doing. Gray Rose, Burning Beast, One-eyed Assistance and we can't forget this! But, I do hope you guys like this.
Don't you think that went a little to well with Weiss' father?
And one last thing to say and a little bit of foreshadowing, we always hear Weiss say the three words, but never someone else. I wonder why…
NEH HEH HEH HEH. Have a nice Day / Night everyone!
