It started with a simple spark. Weiss knew something was wrong but couldn't tell what. Looking towards the woman on her right Weiss took a deep breath. "Ruby do you feel that?" Weiss asked gently as she looked towards her lover. Ruby looked down towards Weiss, her red eyes meeting Weiss' blue ones.
"No, what, is something wrong?" the red eyed Ruby questioned. Weiss shook her head no, and turned her attention back to what was ahead of her. Did Ruby always have red eyes?, Weiss thought to herself as she chanced a glance towards Ruby. She couldn't quite remember how Ruby's eyes were.
"Weiss don't do this," Weiss swore she heard Ruby spoke. "Did you say something?" Weiss asked softly.
"No, did you hear something, maybe I should take you to a doctor, you're not acting like yourself," Ruby said gently as she pressed the back of her hand to Weiss' forehead.
"I'm fine, I just thought I heard you say something," Weiss answered shaking the hand away. Weiss saw the flash of Myrtenaster in Ruby's stomach, the blood pooling, but when she blinked it disappeared.
"I can't wait to move in," Ruby said softly looking towards the decent sized house that stood before them. Weiss' eyes however were glued to the spot Myrtenaster was on Ruby's stomach. "Weiss, are you sure you don't want to go to a doctor, you really do seem out of it."
Weiss saw a flash of their wedding, a small one. Ruby's red eyes seemed so caring and loving then. However in that flash Weiss just saw, she saw the silver eyes.
The spark in Weiss grew, heat filled her cold body as she looked towards Ruby. The red eyes met her's and her breath was caught in her chest. Ruby was wearing a grimm mask. "Ruby, where did you get that?" Weiss' voice was shaky. Ruby just looked towards Weiss, unsure of what she meant. There was another flash of the blood pooling at Ruby's stomach, the way it slowly dripped.
Their lips were connected, her hand on Myrtenaster. She blinked away and it disappeared. "Maybe, maybe I should go see a doctor," Weiss admitted. Another flash, each flash the scene became more and more realistic.
"Ruby," the shout is what finally shook Weiss free. Her eyes snapped open and she saw the flash. Ruby was kissing Weiss, blood was pooling, Weiss' hand was on Myrtenaster. Weiss blinked several times hoping she would return to her red eyed wife's side, but the growl behind her almost assured her that wouldn't happen. Weiss pulled away from the kiss and using her free hand grabbed the hand Ruby was using to cup her face.
"Weiss," Ruby said gently, a small smile on her face. If Weiss' face could have gone straight white it did in the moment. A quick scan of the surrounding area shook Weiss to her core. "Everyone stop," Weiss barked loudly as she quickly pulled Myrtenaster from Ruby and pulled her close. "I need first aid now," Weiss roared as she lowered herself and Ruby to the ground. Weiss made sure to keep pressure on the wound as the medic ran over.
"General," the medic said once he saw who she wanted him to help. "Help her, that's an order," emotion filled Weiss' voice as the medic, fearful of what Weiss might do if angered in this state, went to work.
"Ruby," Yang said softly as she ran over to Ruby, Blake following shortly behind. Weiss finally removed her hands from Ruby's wound to allow the medic to work, but upon doing so she was terrified of all the blood that was on her hands.
A heavy object came down on Weiss' shoulder gently. Weiss slowly looked to see it was Onirun who was sitting behind her. "She'll be okay," Onirun said gently, his low growl startling the medic. Weiss' eyes returned to Ruby who was looking towards Weiss.
"You're back," she said weakly. Slowly she reached up and grabbed Weiss' bloodied hand and lightly squeezed it. Weiss felt tears come to the corner of her eyes, she tightly squeezed Ruby's hand and forced a smile. "For future reference, red doesn't look good on you," Ruby added with a laugh. Ruby winced as she the medic cleaned the wound, but her eyes kept on Weiss.
"I'm so sorry Ruby," Weiss said as her silent tears ran down her face. "It wasn't you Weiss, I know it wasn't. And I did this on purpose, to get close enough," Ruby said softly.
"You dolt," Weiss laughed weakly. Once Ruby was bandaged she was pulled into a hug by Weiss.
"Not too tight," Ruby muttered as Weiss clinged to her. Weiss loosened her grip on Ruby but still held her close. Ruby hugged Weiss back, and Weiss felt herself break, her sobs came faster as she held Ruby there. Ruby smiled and hugged as tightly as she could back.
For several long moments all of the soldiers watch their general and who they were told was the enemy embrace. Yang grabbed Blake's hand and smile softly at the seen. "The way those two care for each other really is dangerous," Yang said softly.
"I know," Blake answered gently. The couple were standing far enough away not to be heard by the other half of their team. "Just like us," Blake squeezed Yang's hand tightly at the thought of having to fight her beloved partner seriously. They fell silent and watched their friends happily embrace. "I hope we never have to do what they did," Blake's soft voice was only heard by Yang, making Yang smile gently.
"They won't leave each other's side now, you know," Yang said. "Like we ever do if we have a choice," Blake shot back.
*Double double finger guns to everyone* And you thought I'd kill one of them off. HA!
I don't hate myself enough to do that, yet...
This was yet another scene that I extensively planned out, and I'm sure some of you will figure out the inspiration behind this chapter.
I had a lot of fun writing this mini arc, and even more fun torturing my friend, and a few of you readers, with it.
Did you really think I'd kill characters off so early on in this story?
Okay, it's not that early on in the story, but we're before the midway point okay.
