Okay now Weiss was nervous. She was done with work for today and she could leave. She just wasn't entirely sure she wanted to. During her work day she occasionally checked on the media and her and Yang had come, a lot. Namely a picture of the kiss she gave the blonde in the cafeteria.
"Penny." Weiss hit a button on her desk.
"Yes?" Penny's voice came from the intercom.
"How many non-employees are in the building?" Weiss held her breath as she waited for the answer.
"Currently there are three hundred sixty eight people not on the company payroll in the building. One hundred four are family of employees. One hundred forty eight are outside clients of the legal department. One hundred are outside contractors for the engineering department. The last sixteen appear to be paparazzi and are clustered in the lobby." Penny reported. "Some reporters have also shown up bring the number up to thirty."
Weiss sighed and cursed internally. "Where's Yang?"
"In your waiting room, along with three security personnel, will that be all Ms Schnee?" Penny asked.
"Yes, thank you Penny." Weiss sighed after she hung up.
She was going to need to face this eventually and with the growing amount of press outside it was as good a time as ever. Weiss breathed in and mentally prepared herself for what she thought would be a flurry of questions.
"Ms Schnee, Aurora Sin from public relations is here to see you." Blake said over the intercom. "And she doesn't look too happy."
"I'll be right out." Weiss got up and walked to the door.
When she opened it she observed a glaring match between Yang and a woman with impossibly red hair, whom she believed to be Set. Three security guards stood at attention by the elevator. Blake swiveled in her chair and looked at Weiss nervously.
"Can I help you Ms Sin?" Weiss said walking over to where they were standing.
"I have some concerns about your little display of affection on the dinning floor at lunch." She broke her glare from Yang and looked at Weiss.
"Such as?" Weiss raised a brow.
"Part of my Job is to manage the look of the company the other is making sure you are in a respectable light. And what you did at lunch." Set glanced at Yang who raised an eyebrow. "Affects the second part of my job."
"Now why is that?" Weiss crossed her arms and started tapping a finger.
"You are a very high profile socialite and Ms Xiao Long, well isn't." Set seemed to stop talking sooner than she wanted as the temperature in the room rose sharply.
"So what are you saying?" Yang hissed.
"I'm saying that it might cause some to question some of her decisions regarding you." She shifted uncomfortable in the heat. "Can someone please do something about the heat?"
"It's tide to my anger, as long as I'm angry it's hot." Yang growled. "And on what grounds will there be questions about her decisions? SSS is the second most successful brand under the Schnee name."
"Yes." Weiss agrees. "Why would anyone question my decisions?"
Aurora didn't say anything more. It was more than obvious the neither of them where going to budge. There was nothing for her and her team to do but try and handle the blow out from this. Hopefully it would be manageable.
"Alright, fine." She finally said. "Me and my team will just try and handle everything that the media is going to do."
She sighed and shook her head as she headed to the elevator. Yang watched her go and her temper cooled with every step away Aurora took.
"So are you ready?" Yang smirked as she looked at Weiss. "Front desk says their getting impatient, had to kick out two or five."
"I'm ready." Weiss closed her eyes and sighed. "You?"
"Only time I was in front of reporters and was the one being asked questions was that time I destroyed a village." Yang sighed. "I wish it was about that. Really wish it was because I broke something, a really big something."
"It'll be fine." Then it hit Weiss. "What about Ruby?"
"I took care of that this morning, that's why I was so late getting in." Yang took Weiss' hand and walked them to the elevator. "I have two of my people there and only family or people that Sage and Scarlet know personally are allowed in, should be fine."
"Okay." Weiss squeezed Yang's hand.
The ride down was silent. The three security personnel that Yang brought with her stood between them and the door. Yang silently gripped Weiss' hand until a few floors from the lobby. She turned Weiss to her and looked her in the eye.
"Penny, keep the doors closed when we reach the lobby." Yang called out to the inter com.
"Yes ma'am." Penny replied.
"Weiss here's what's going to happen." Yang turned her attention back to Weiss. "This isn't going to be an interview or press conference. Some of them might be professional reporters, but a majority looks like paparazzi. So we're just going to go straight to my car. From there we're going to pick up Ruby and head to my house."
"So we act domestic for the cameras?" Weiss mussed.
"That could be part of the reason." Yang hummed and glanced at the security personnel whom were growing obviously uncomfortable. "The other is that I want you safe. You're famous and there's no telling if you have some insane stalkers or something that might pose a threat."
"Oh." Weiss frowned. "Never even thought about that possibility."
"Ready." Yang watched Weiss nod once. "Doors."
The doors slid open and the security personnel stepped out first. They stood in front of the elevator and were shortly joined by ten more guards. In front of them was a crowd of people with cameras and microphones. The guards had just stopped moving one of them spotted them. One called out and soon the entire crowd started to converge towards them.
"Just look ahead and don't talk to any of them." Yang leaned in and whispered in Weiss' ear.
Yang gave Weiss a moment before she took her hand and started walking. The guards that gathered moved forward and parted the group, creating a path from the elevator to the doors.
As Yang and Weiss made their way to the doors Weiss found it increasingly uncomfortable to hear there questions. They ranged from almost professional questions like how did they meet or how long has the relationship lasted, to disgustingly personal questions about the sexual side of the relationship.
Weiss glanced at Yang who had a face she hadn't seen since they went to Destron. Yang was actually serious and it was having an effect. When someone asked too personal question Yang would glare at them and the person would seem to bite their tongue and not speak any more. Weiss glared as well but hers didn't have quite the same effect as Yang's.
Outside was worse, there were twice as many guards creating a human and faunus wall and there were three times as many paparazzi. Yang's red SUV was already up on the street and yang wasted no time putting Weiss in the passenger's seat. When Yang got into the driver's seat she immediately pulled into traffic.
"Must be a slow day for all of them to descend on the tower like that." Yang said after some time of silence. "That or they were waiting for a rumor of your love life."
"I think it's the latter." Weiss nearly giggled. "Did some of their questions make your skin crawl too, or was it just me?"
"Oh I still have goose bumps, look." Yang stretched her arm out for Weiss to feel.
"Which question made you like this?" Weiss asked as she ran a finger over Yang's almost shivering skin.
"A few." Yang said evasively, returning her hand to the wheel.
"You're not shy enough for the sexual ones to have this effect." Weiss hummed. "But you are young enough for maybe the two or three about marriage?"
Weiss watched as Yang shiver slightly at the word.
"This is a conversation for another time." Yang mumbled and turned onto a side street.
"Okay dear, let's just pick up Ruby and head home." Weiss mimicked the tone of a house wife from a very old TV program.
"I'm not going to hear the end of this any time soon, am I?" Yang said as she parked in front of the day care.
"You're still young, I don't hold it against you that you might be afraid to commit like that." Weiss leaned over and kissed Yang's cheek. "But we will be talking about it later tonight."
Yang hanged her head and sighed before she got out of the car. She walked over to the two guards that she assigned here.
"Anything to worry about?" She asked them.
"Nothing Ma'am." The one on the left said as they saluted.
"Just some parents with questions." The other said.
"Did you answer them?" Yang looked past the guards and smiled and waved to Ruby.
"Yes Ma'am, they're still a little uneasy about it but most of them understand." The right guard said. "Will that be all for today?"
"Another team is coming to relieve you in an hour." Yang looked down the street. "We're installing our security system here."
"Yes Ma'am." They said in unison.
Yang walked passed them and into the building. The moment she walked in she saw Ruby ready to go.
"Ready to go?" Yang smiled.
"Been ready, how'd it go at work?" Ruby asked as they walked out.
"Better than I feared, worse than I hoped." Yang opened the door for Ruby to climb in.
"So like all the missions you told me about?" Ruby buckled herself in.
"You have quite the mouth for a five year old." Yang smirked.
"I get it from my mom, and I'm six."Ruby huffed.
"In a few months you'll be six, be patient." Yang shut the door and got in on her side.
"So is Weiss living with us now or have you not asked her yet?" Ruby leaned between the front seats and looked between the two.
"Not yet." Yang hissed between her teeth.
"Yet?" Weiss questioned.
"I was going to ask after dinner." Yang glared slightly at Ruby and then pulled into traffic.
"Half the closet is full of my clothes, I have a tooth brush in the bath room and I spend every night I'm not in the office there." Weiss said coolly. "I was under the impression I was living with you."
Ruby stifled a laugh as Yang pierced her lips and hunched her back slightly.
"I'm new to the relationship thing, sorry." Yang mumbled.
"That can't be your excuse for ever." Weiss glanced at Ruby and smiled.
Ruby started laughing and Weiss started to giggle along with her. While Yang pouted and drove silently. Now that Yang actually thought about it, it was blaringly obvious that they were living together and have been for at least a year. The blonde mentally kicked herself, she could notice the slightest boot print in almost any terrain but she couldn't notice when her girlfriend moved in.
