A.N: Hey, kept it to a fortnight this time. As usual, hope you enjoy!
Weiss and I – Prequel – 12 – Call
"Finally..."
I let out a relieved sigh as I did a lofty belly-flop onto the bed. At long last a day where I can be by my lone self. Weiss, along with the rest of her team were out on some assignment out of the Academy for the whole day.
This came as a huge relief to me as I finally didn't need to fight, study or anything even remotely productive. Call me lazy all you want but I've been looking forward to actually spending a weekend as such. Ever since I met my new friends Weiss has been dragging (some days more literally than others) me out to revise lessons, battle or sometimes a sadistic combination of the two.
So it was with much excitement that I got to make full use of my day by not making any use with it whatsoever.
Weiss did leave me with a list of things she wanted me to read up on but I think even she knew writing it would not, in any way, shape or form compel me to do any of them.
So instead I resided myself to taking in the fact that for once in a long while I got to do what I wanted.
Which at the time was nothing.
I could almost hear the heiress's furious tirade the next day. When she got angry, that was when you truly see the heiress, her bloated arrogance and acidic words worked wonders on any victims unfortunate enough to wrong her.
This was reflected at how she could almost always find a way to talk back to her team. However, if anyone is completely familiar with her verbal lashings it would be me.
Weiss and I were, highly reactive when mixed, starting arguments almost on command and always able to draw the ire from each other.
"Jeez…why do I even stomach her?"
I asked myself, I wasn't going to paint myself as a saint and say it was never me that started arguments, it was just that I probably started a lower percentage of them than the heiress. It's her fault for constantly seeing herself as a better-than-everyone-else princess.
"So what if she's to inherit a multi-million dollar company, so what if she's a genius in the classroom and in the battlefield, so what if she's drop dead gorgeous? Doesn't give her the right to…boss…me…a-around…"
My face got uncomfortably warm in my pillow, turning to my side I opened up my Scroll, in hopes of diverting my attention elsewhere.
Opening up the message that Weiss sent me regarding the stuff I had to read up I gave it a quick read-through.
"Ugh… Grimm studies… Vale History… Math…"
The list went on and on endlessly, the small tab that kept track of how far down the page I was hardly seemed to move.
Eventually making it to the bottom of the page I let out a miserable groan.
"Weiss…you're really outdoing yourself here."
Resting the Scroll on my chest I shut my eyes and tried to get some sleep, rather undeserving but why should I care?
*THUD*
A sudden and violent knocking on my door forced my eyes back open.
'Great, I can't get even a day of peace and quiet it seems.'
I grumbled in my head as I picked myself up from the bed and towards the door.
Yanking the door open I was suddenly and tightly gripped on the side of my arms. Much to my surprise it was Weiss.
"W-Weiss?! Didn't you say you and the others were…"
I babbled in complete shock, she stared at me intensely, not saying a word and instead looked at me, her eyes burning and her face a deep crimson.
Realizing that this meant I was caught completely red-handed ignoring the work she assigned me and was probably furious, I started to fear for my life a little.
"Weiss I-I-I can explain I was-."
There was little time to explain myself as my mouth was sealed up by the last thing I expected.
The heiress has pushed her lips onto mine, locking me in a deep kiss.
"HMMM!"
Was all I would get out. Opening my mouth to try to break up the lip-contact, Weiss rebelled and I felt her searing hot tongue enter my mouth. My entire body went limp, my mind swirling in a thick mix of confusion and mush.
'Has Weiss lost it?! She's-She's kissing me!'
I thought as was left powerless to resist the heiress advances, she was able to force my down onto my bed where, mercifully, she pulled away from me.
"W-W-We-Weiss…"
I could barely get her name out past the pants of exhaustion.
"I-I can't take it anymore!"
She exclaimed. With her hands pressed down on my chest to keep me on my back she puts her legs on either side of my waist. Her eyes hot and hungry as she did.
Ever so slowly she unbuttoned her jacket and vest, exposing the thin white shirt underneath.
I couldn't move.
"I-I want you…"
She panted, at this point my heart was pounding at my chest and blood was shooting through my face, damn near knocking me out.
"W-What?!"
'She… confessed to me… that was what that was right?'
It was unbelievable, I didn't even think Weiss liked me all that much let alone…this.
Now I was on the spot quite literally, Weiss was sitting on me, partially undressed, a loud and passionate confession.
My stunned silence seemed to have a profound effect on the heiress as her shoulders fell and she began shriveling up, the energy she had a second ago vanished in an instant.
"Y-You don't feel the same way?"
She looked destroyed, her eyes burgeoning with more sadness than I have ever seen.
"I-I."
I couldn't, how could I? The distraught look on her face… the sadness.
"Weiss…I-I…"
I didn't like her that much…did I? I should tell her how I feel but I wasn't even sure now. There she is, one of if not the prettiest girl I've ever met, her eyes overflowing with grief. I couldn't tell her I didn't feel the same way, I couldn't hurt her like that.
"I…do…I do like you…"
I said nervously.
"R-Really?"
She nasally asked back, leaning closer to down to me.
"Y-Yeah…really Weiss."
I tried to make myself sound more believably certain.
What I saw next I couldn't believe, the corners of her lips turned up in the brightest smile I had ever witnessed, practically shining like a second sun.
"Yes…Yes…"
She lay her head down on my chest, her hands squeezing their way between me and my bed, holding me in an endearing embrace.
'S-She's so warm…it's amazing.'
I thought as I returned the hug. As unexpected as all this was, very little of it felt wrong. It was a new and dramatic sense of nirvana being held in the heiress's arms.
I picked up on her exquisite smell, the soft vanilla scent that rose from her body as all of the parts I thought she would strangle me for even thinking about touching. I guess…that was just her trying to hide her feelings all this time.
She lifted her head back up to meet my eyes, her light blue orbs now dry of tears they shone with affection.
"I love you."
It was almost alien to have those three words come out from between Weiss's lips. An intense surge of emotion welled up inside me. It felt like I was going to pass out.
"I…"
My extremities went numb, I reached up and cupped her cheeks.
"I l-love you too-AGHHH!"
My eyes were filled with darkness and the back of my head throbbed painfully.
"Ugh…Wha…"
I grumbled as I opened my eyes.
I was staring at the ceiling of my room. Planting my hands down to try to pick myself up off the ground.
"It was a dream…?"
Of course it was a dream, Weiss wasn't here, she didn't barge into my room, she definitely didn't kiss me and she most certainly didn't confess to me.
Crawling back into the bed I fell off. I felt the moist warmth of my sweat-soaked pillow.
That dream was a lot more visceral than I would've liked. It almost felt like I was with Weiss and I…
Well…
"I said I love her didn't I?"
This wasn't fair. Weiss said it first and she had me pinned down beneath her. Putting my hand on my forehead I let out a short huff. It was infuriating, I couldn't blame anyone or anything else making me think this way, I mean, it was MY dream.
It was a product of my own consciousness which only meant one thing.
"N-No... No way..."
But no other answer made sense. It had to be.
I have a crush on Weiss.
Just the mention of such of it sent a deep warmth through my body that seemed to build in my chest, I felt the entire room lurch side to side as I, finally after all this introspection had been forced to admit.
B-But why? Weiss was never that particularly nice to me, sure she was pretty but...
Just then I felt my chest vibrate, it was slightly slower than my overclocked heart so I could tell it was my Scroll, smothered between me and my bed.
Lifting it up over my face I took a look at the screen to see who was calling.
I subsequently dropped the device onto my nose the moment I saw Weiss's name pop out.
"Why now?!"
I vocalized as I tried to quell my inflamed cheeks, as if they were such an intense shade of red Weiss would be able to see it on the other end of the line.
I clutched onto the device so tight I probably could've shattered it. My finger hovering shakily over the answer button.
I thought for a while if I could just let it continue to ring and just tell her I wasn't there.
Of course, this would only upset the heiress. Probably the last thing I wanted now was her to confront me.
Sucking in my gut I pressed the answer button. A moment of dreadful silence followed.
"Hello?"
Despite expecting to hear the heiress voice I still flinched violently nearly dropping the Scroll on me for a second time.
"H-Hey Weiss…um…what's up?"
Any attempt at masking my nervous was met with a staggeringly embarrassing failure, Weiss seemed too preoccupied with whatever she was doing.
"Were you asleep?"
'What?! How does she know these things?'
"Um…no…why?"
"You took ages to answer the call."
"I was in the bathroom."
That was probably the most convincing lie I had told to anyone or myself the all day.
"You better not be lying. Have you done the work?"
She asked, meanwhile a loud commotion was happening over her end of the call.
"Um…"
I got that far into my response before I heard a loud sigh from Weiss.
"Ugh…why do I ask?"
"Sorry Weiss…"
I felt awful that the girl I apparently liked was disappointed in me so I timidly apologized.
"Dunce…"
The muffled grumble from the heiress only sunk that feeling in deeper. The commotion soon got louder, nearly matching Weiss's voice. I decided to use that as a way to divert attention from my tardiness.
"What's that noise?"
"Just Ruby and Yang being idiots."
She replied, ire dripping from her words. Quickly I could hear Weiss yelling at the girls.
"Hey! Do you two mind keeping it down?"
There were murmurs by all the girls but I couldn't make them out. Eventually she returned to speaking to me, a little more panic in her voice than before, I guess whatever they were doing out there was starting to kick into gear.
"Um… I got to go, something's up, just…just do the work alright?"
"Yeah, h-hey Weiss..."
I wasn't really sure how I was going to continue that sentence.
"Yeah?"
"I-I…um…"
I had to pull myself away from what exactly I was about to do. Was I really going to tell Weiss what I myself just realized? This would change a lot more than I was prepared for. What if Weiss hates me for feeling this way? I wasn't going to lose a friend over a small crush.
"B-Be careful."
"Oh…um…t-thanks. Don't think this gets you out of work. I'm trying to help you."
"Of course Weiss."
The line goes dead. Yet I continued to hold the Scroll in front of me. Weiss still fresh in my mind.
I stared as the clock on my Scroll continued to tick on. 3:30pm turned to 3:31pm, then 3:32pm…
'Maybe I should tell Weiss once she's back…tomorrow.'
Opening the message back up I went back to the top of the list of topics wanted to me to work on.
Rolling back off the bed I dragged myself over to my desk at the opposite side of the room. The uncomfortable stiffness of the chair only made the bed more inviting. However, now was not the time to give into such basic desires, this was for…
For Weiss.
Why do I feel like I'm not going to be able to get any work done today…
A.N: Don't have much of any end announcement other than the work on other projects are still in works in progress to varying degrees.
In any case thank you for reading!
