And so it continues~

... I honestly don't know what else to say. So, Ruby goofed up. Weiss is mortified. And Bumblebee is just chillin'.

Ciao~

Ruby Rose and Weiss Schnee: CONFIRMED LOVERS?!

"I like her SO MUCH!" Ruby said.

The JUICIEST interview EVER!

OMG FINALLY! XOXO

Immediately, Ruby turned off her phone. She couldn't handle the sheer embarrassment of it, and she vocalized it... through wailing.

"You took the bait," uttered her less-than-impressed girlfriend.

Weiss wasn't helping either. In fact, she looked frustrated. At what? Ruby couldn't understand.

"Why didn't you tell me the interview was live?!" she whimpered.

Weiss looked at her with that piercing blue eyes then looked forward, muttering, "Thought you knew."

"Yeah, well, I didn't." Ruby sulked. It was a little hard to do so when she and Weiss were in the same cab on her way to her hotel - despite her insisting she could walk there or take the bus. Sometimes she forgot how rich Weiss was. It didn't even look like a normal taxi - it looked like a limo, but shorter, and painted yellow... Either way, it didn't matter! What mattered was "Now everyone thinks we're girlfriends."

Ruby blushed when her girlfriend looked at her with such intense incredulity. She closed the glass pane separating them from the driver before saying, "I was under the impression that we are. Was I wrong?"

Ruby wished her face wasn't as red as it was. She didn't like knowing that Weiss knew how embarrassed she was about all of this. "You know what I mean." She crossed her arms, sulking. No, she was not pouting. She was sixteen. Sixteen-year-olds didn't pout. They sulked. Because they were adults. And she was an adult!

Weiss sighed. Not that she cared. "I know." Her face hardened and her blue eyes sharpened. "But it was inevitable. In fact, I think it's best they hear it from one of us than from anyone else."

Ruby couldn't argue with that. "But still..." Couldn't there have been a better way for her relationship to be known by everyone? Blurting out that she 'liked' Weiss on a live TV show wasn't exactly what she'd been expecting.

Plus, all she'd said was that she liked Weiss. Why had everyone thought that meant she viewed Weiss as more than just a friend?! There was more towards 'liking' than just romantically... even if they weren't wrong in thinking that she meant it as a romantic kind of thing...

Ruby took a deep breath and unlocked her phone, eyes catching on each and every new article relating to Weiss Schnee.

It had only been an hour since the interview ended. How were people able to be this fast? It boggled her mind.

"Welcome to the world of fame, Rozē."

Ruby's anger quickly dissipated at both the endearing nickname and the softness that wrapped Weiss' voice.

She looked up at Weiss sheepishly and said, "Sorry."

To which she responded with a soft smile. "I understand. You were worried."

"And, Weiss..." Ruby felt her cheeks warming but still maintained her gaze with the heiress'. With a soft smile, she said, "Thanks for having my back, back at the interview."

She knew that, based on Miss Lisa's expression for when the heiress revealed herself to the camera, it wasn't scripted. Weiss really shouldn't have been there. She could've gotten herself in trouble for doing that... probably. It was fortunate that Miss Lisa was a nice lady.

Weiss blinked rapidly and looked away. Ruby's blush faded while her girlfriend's increased.

"It was nothing," Weiss mumbled. Ruby rolled her eyes. That wasn't true at all. "I saw you weren't comfortable, so I-"

"You thought you would make me comfortable." Ruby's grin widened when Weiss looked at her in surprise.

"W-well-"

"Because you did," Ruby admitted. When the interview first started, she felt so small and vulnerable and... terrified. She knew she shouldn't be, but her heart couldn't stop its rapid beating and her mind couldn't help but think of dark thoughts.

All her discomfort ebbed away when Weiss made her presence known in front of the camera. And Ruby couldn't help but be relieved when the girl gave her a comforting smile for just a moment.

Presently, Weiss was scowling. It would've been effective if not for her red cheeks.

"You're a dolt."

Ruby's eyes sparkled.

"But I'm-"

"You're my dolt." Silver eyes blinked. "Yes, I've heard you say that a million times by now." Ruby pout- sulked. She sulked. And her sulk turned into a brood when Weiss laughed. The ride was filled with a comfortable silence until Weiss spoke again.

"I'm surprised you went through with my lie."

Ruby glanced at her, finding Weiss looking at the window and what was displayed on it - nothing but buildings. She looked at her own window, asking, "You think I can't lie?"

"... Well, you are you."

Ruby chuckled and tilted her head towards Weiss, in time to find Weiss herself doing the same. "Can't argue with that."

She grinned goofily. Weiss returned it with a shyer, smaller, yet equally genuine smile.

They arrived at the entrance of her apartment shortly after. Despite Ruby's refusal, Weiss insisted on walking her right to her doorsteps.

After the short, awkward elevator ride, Ruby found herself mumbling, "I wonder what they're doing..."

Apparently, her voice wasn't as quiet as she initially thought - or maybe the hallway was just that noiseless - because her girlfriend wondered, "Who?"

"Blake and Yang." She shrugged when white eyebrows rose. "I sort of asked Blake to... well... basically babysit her."

"Why didn't you tell me?" Weiss questioned when they were nearing her familiar door.

When she was right in front of her door, Ruby made a show of crossing her arms and leaning towards the door.

"Thought you knew."

Ruby wiggled her eyebrows, smirking.

Weiss glared.

Ruby's eyebrow-wiggling increased in speed. Her smirk was replaced by a grin.

"Let's get this over with," groaned her girlfriend as she rolled her eyes.

Ruby snickered before complying, grabbing the door handle before... hesitating.

"Umm... hold on."

She pressed her ear towards the doorframe.

"What are you doing?" asked the baffled heiress.

"I'm just... making sure..." Ruby finished her sentence a little awkwardly, not sure how to proceed.

When she was sure she didn't hear inappropriate noises, Ruby twisted the door handle and pushed. The door didn't open. Ruby frowned, confused.

"You forgot to use the keys, you dolt."

"I know that." Truthfully, she didn't. But she would never admit that to her kinda-cocky partner.

After fishing in her pockets for her key, momentarily horrified by not finding said key, before actually finding it, Ruby unlocked her door, then pushed it open.

The brunette cringed when it creaked loudly, like in those horror movies. She bit her lip at finding the lights to be off.

"Yang? Blake?" she called, slowly walking into her room, cursing at her loud footsteps. She found Weiss tailing behind her with an equally concerned look.

I swear to Dust, Yang, if this is some kind of prank, I'm gonna-

BUZZ!

"Eep!" Ruby threw herself at Weiss out of sheer fear before she could help herself, shutting her eyes in futile hope.

Seconds passed. Nothing happened.

"R-Ruby..."

At her girlfriend's whimper, silver eyes opened. Slowly.

Their noses touched. That was how close they were.

Ruby's breath halted.

Ruby's face went red when she realized what kind of position she was in.

Her arms were tangled around Weiss' neck, and her whole weigh was leaning towards the heiress, who stood awkwardly, trying to balance both her own self and the young girl. Her hands touched Ruby's waist in a ghost-like pressure.

"D-do you mind...?"

It took her a few long seconds before she realized what the heiress had meant. Wordlessly and quickly, she disentangled herself from equally embarrassed - if not, more so - girl.

"S-sorry."

Weiss faked a cough and looked away, covering her mouth with her hands. Ruby's blush increased at the cuteness of the action.

"That's your phone, right?" the heiress asked, eyes still glued to the floor, not wanting to meet her eyes.

"U-um, yeah."

Ruby grabbed her phone from her pocket, squinting when the bright light invaded her unsuspecting eyes. She raised an eyebrow when finding that it was a message from Yang. She clicked on that message.

Yoooo, Rubes. So i kinda realize that i've been a jerk to you this couple of days so i thought: hey, y not give her the apartment all 2 herself? also, check the fridge ;)) u will luv it

It took her a while before the entirety of this message got to her.

She had this whole apartment. To herself.

And Weiss was already here with her.

Slowly, her eyes trailed up. She bit her lip when seeing Weiss, who was looking at her with unmasked interest.

"Say... do you have anything you want to do today?"

A sigh. "... No."

Yes!

"Did you send Ruby your message?"

Yang gave her the grin Blake had always found endearing and annoying. "Yup!"

The way she'd said it with such confidence - too much confidence, in fact - filled Blake with suspicion.

"What did you tell her?"

"Eh..." The blonde's eyes trailed to the side. An obvious sign of a lie. "Just the truth."

So her girlfriend didn't tell the truth.

"What did you tell her?" Blake repeated a scowl on her face and more force in her tone. By now she of all people should know that when Yang was up to something, the people close to her would get dragged in that 'something' as well.

She wasn't too keen on angering Yang's little sister, especially witnessing firsthand how undeniably scary the young girl could be when she wasn't in her best mood.

"Want me to dramatize it or just the stonecold truth?" Yang offered with a half-apologetic smile.

"The truth." Her glare hardened. Yang actually flinched and bit her lip, looking genuinely scared for a moment before it was replaced by that same cocky smirk.

She leaned back and put her arms behind her head, the action would've succeeded in making her look relaxed if not for the fact that they were on a cab, therefore, making her look more awkward if anything.

"The drama version, then," she said casually, grinning when Blake's glare darkened. After giving a flirty wink that didn't help lift the faunus' moods at all, Yang began her narrating.

"Because yours truly," she said in a mock voice of a theater narrator, even going so far as to use wild hand gestures, "feels guilty of mildly discomforting my sister-"

"Locking her up in a restaurant and lying to her, you mean," Blake corrected with a deadpan.

"- I decided it would be best to surprise her with the best gift of all," continued Yang, unfazed, "the gift of having our apartment all to herself... until yours truly comes back, of course."

Blake's eyes narrowed. "What about the cookies you brought?"

"Eh, didn't want to spoil the surprise."

Blake waited for more words, then gawked when she realized that was all Yang wanted to say. Honestly, why was it that every time the blonde wanted to be mysterious she ended up being more annoying than she already was?

"So?" she coaxed.

"So?" What was worse was the fact that Yang sounded genuinely curious.

Blake gritted her teeth. "So what did you tell her?"

Yang flashed her a smile. "To check her fridge."

Again, Blake waited, thinking there was more to it than that. She blinked when she realized Yang was finished. "That's it?" She paused for a moment, slowly coming to the realization that Yang hadn't made some kind of elaborate scheme that would get them both in trouble. "You just lied to her by telling her you planned to give her some alone time?"

She'd expected something worse. Much worse. This was Yang Xiao Long - the girl who wasn't exactly known for being tame.

Yang cringed a little. "Technically I didn't lie. I have been planning to make it up to her. It just so happens that we're going... somewhere."

Blake smirked. "I guess it isn't a lie when you think about it."

"So... umm... Where are we going?" Yang paused for a moment. "Because you haven't given me, like, any hint and we've been in the cab for... a long time."

"Eh, didn't want to spoil the surprise." It was Yang, for once, who glared.

"Ruby, no." Weiss made sure her voice was tight with authoritativeness.

Ruby pouted towards her. Immediately, Weiss felt as if she was looking at a nine years old child rather than the sixteen years old teenager that Ruby Rose actually was. "But- but-"

"There is a winking emoticon there," Weiss explained, gesturing to Ruby's phone that was displaying the message that the brute had sent to her little sister. "I barely trust Yang-" that was a lie, she actually didn't at all, "- How can I trust a winking emoticon sent by Yang?!"

"C'mon, Weiss, you're being too harsh on her." The girl in mention squinted her eyes. Literally hours ago, Ruby had given off the impression that she was about to disown Yang. How was it possible that the girl had reverted back into being the defensive about her sister?! "Plus," the brunette mumbled, looking away with a small frown. "Why do you have to call them emoticon?..."

One blue eye twitched. "That's not the point," she practically growled out. What was the difference anyway? Emoticon, emoji, they were all the same overrated thing.

Ruby looked back and forth between the fridge, the accursed message being displayed on her phone, and her girlfriend.

After an unnecessarily amount of time passed, the young girl spoke in a whisper, accompanied by a sheepish grin. "I'm still gonna do it."

Weiss said, "No," through gritted teeth.

Ruby was eyeing the fridge. Weiss could see it in her eyes; she was excited about whatever 'gift' her sister had planned for her.

"I'm only trying to protect you, Ruby," she explained.

Ruby, much to her aggravation, raised an eyebrow and asked, "From who? Myself?"

"From her brute of a sister!" she elaborated in a snap. "But you know what, fine, do it for all I care."

Weiss massaged her temples, shutting her eyes. She gave up on convincing her dolt of a partner. Ruby was sweet, but she could be so air-headed at times.

Plus, what harm could it bring? Despite her being... well... Yang, the brute was still Ruby's big sister. Weiss could somehow relate to her protectiveness. So why would she-

A gasp.

Weiss turned to where Ruby was.

"R-Ruby?"

"COOKIES!"

... Why, again, had Weiss fallen in love with such a dolt?

The more important question was; how had she fallen in love with her in the first place?

Where is Blake taking me?

Yang had been asking this question ever since... well... ever since Blake suddenly invited her to go to 'somewhere they can enjoy themselves'... so, maybe about three hours.

She had a sneaking suspicion, based on a couple of things.

"Are you... taking me to the beach?" she asked.

"Hmm... Can't answer that." Aha! So Blake was taking her to the beach! If she truly wasn't, then she'd reply with a simple "No"! Instead, she hesitated!

"You so are," Yang said, leaning against the doorframe as her eyes squinted. "I saw a couple of palm trees on the way." She turned towards the driver, who had been quiet all this time. "Hey, Driver," she poked a finger to his upper arm, despite Blake's glare of disapproval, "where are we going?"

The driver's head was directly facing the road, being the dutiful driver that he was. His eyes only briefly glanced at Yang, more than a little startled, and he was about to open his mouth and give her the answer she'd been looking for when-

"Don't answer that or your ratings will go down."

Ugh. Blake came in and ruined her chance of finding out. And she did it in a way Yang hadn't thought she was capable of; threats. The driver actually flinched and, later, tensely nodded. She even saw sweat dripping out his forehead. The poor guy.

Yang sighed. Well, it was no use trying to get info out of him now. The dude's too scared to say anything. Damn it.

She turned towards her girlfriend, who was now reading a novel - Yang didn't even know she was bringing one - and asked, "Yaiks, Blake, isn't that a little cruel?"

A noncommittal shrug. "Weiss is rubbing off of me." Ah. That would explain it. "And I've never considered myself to be kind, either."

Yang frowned at that.

"I don't know what you're talking about, Blake. You're tons of kind to me."

Yang blinked when Blake looked at her with shock because, well... what was there to be surprised about? It wasn't like Yang was lying. Blake was nice, it was a common fact. She'd thought that everyone knew... Who knew that, out of everyone, Blake herself was the one to disregard her kindness.

Her thoughts were swept away and was replaced by giddy excitement when she saw the ocean nearing her.

"Are we going swimming?!" she spoke, probably a bit louder than intended, but she couldn't help herself. "You should've told me, Blake!" She pointed an accusatory finger towards Blake, who looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "I didn't bring any swimming suits..." She trailed off. Then, her eyes widened and her grin turned into a smirk full of mirth. "Unless... you want me to-"

A hand covering her mouth, turning her next words into nothing more than muffles.

Blake's cheeks were blazing with redness, yet somehow she managed to give her an effective scowl.

"We're not going swimming and we're definitely not alone, so quit it with your dirty jokes." The last words came out as a whispered hiss.

Yang grabbed her delicate hand and planted a soft kiss there.

She didn't think Blake could get any redder. Apparently, she was wrong.

She chuckled, still holding onto her hand. Blake didn't try to let go either.

She leaned forward... and winked. "Pretty sure if words get anywhere, he'll get a bad rating," she suddenly said, sporting a seemingly innocent grin. "Isn't that right, Mister Driver?" she said, turning her head to look at the man who was also blushing.

"Y-yes," he stammered out, much to her delight.

Yang stared at Blake, who was equally embarrassed as she was furious. It was as if she'd forgotten how much of a tease Yang could be.

"Heh."

Yellow eyes narrowed. Blake's hand let go of hers, only to flick her in the forehead.

"You are insufferable."

"Hey, Weiss?"

The heiress gulped the last of her coffee before putting it down, raising an eyebrow when looking at the cup, impressed by how good it tasted. She never knew Ruby could make good coffee. She never knew Ruby could make coffee period.

She regarded her girlfriend, who sat by her side, fidgeting a little. She was nervous - about what, Weiss didn't know.

"Yes?"

Ruby didn't speak until after a while.

"What'll we do?" The brunette took a deep breath before continuing as if it was painful for her to say her next words. "You know, since you'll be leaving in a week and stuff."

Ah. That.

Weight settled on her stomach.

"I... don't know," Weiss replied truthfully. She herself was a bundle of uncertainty, just like her girlfriend, if not, more. "People already know about us," she pointed out, then narrowed her eyes. "They've suspected long before we have."

Theories upon theories of Weiss Schnee seeing someone in a romantic way had been building months before the heiress had reunited with Ruby. At the time, Weiss had only dismissed it as her fans being absurd and wanting to gain some form of excitement to try and get rid of their boredom.

These theories exploded when Ruby and Weiss uploaded the video of them singing covers to the internet, which gained massive hits. Her fans had claimed that the mysterious lover had finally revealed herself to. the public.

It was honestly baffling; the fact that her fans had already suspected of Weiss' affection towards Ruby long before she herself did. What was worse was that they were right... eventually.

"We don't keep it a secret, then?"

"No," replied the older girl, shaking her head. "It'll be pointless." But when she sensed the distress and embarrassment aura emanating from her girlfriend, she added as an afterthought, "Unless... you want to?"

Ruby's head shot up as if what she'd suggested was a preposterous idea.

A blush began to grow on the young girl's cheeks as she quietly muttered, "If I were being honest, no, I don't." Weiss blinked at this revelation. Because of the girl's shy nature, she would've expected they try to play it off as some misunderstanding - even if it really wasn't. It appeared she was incorrect. Ruby suddenly grinned and declared a little bashfully, "I want the world to know I'm dating the coolest girl in the world!"

Weiss couldn't fight the smile threatening to break from her lips. This, she realized, was why she'd fallen for Ruby Rose. Amongst many, many more things.

She purposely raised an eyebrow and playfully teased the girl by asking, "Was that supposed to be a pun?"

"... Maybe?" How was it possible that the dolt looked both endearing and irritating?

"You and that brute really are siblings." Weiss groaned in disgust. She could only pray that Ruby. wouldn't grow up to be a perfect carbon copy of Yang Xiao Long. Weiss wasn't able to handle one Yang, how was she able to handle two? Especially when one of them happened to be her girlfriend?

"Hey, she's not all bad," Ruby tried to defend with a small shrug. At least the girl knew Weiss' disgust wasn't completely exaggerated.

Weiss looked at her blankly.

"She locks us up against our wishes. You're lucky I didn't accuse her of kidnapping."

"No, you didn't report her because you like her~" replied Ruby impishly.

Weiss scoffed.

"More like I tolerate her because she's my best friend's girlfriend and my girlfriend's sister."

Ruby frowned. "... Oh yeah, I forgot about that... Wow... That's... complicated."

Weiss couldn't agree more.

"Blake. We are at the beach. You can't seriously tell me we're not going swimming."

The noirette had never heard Yang sound so annoyed. And, even though a part of her did feel a little bad about keeping her girlfriend in the dark for so long... the other part was entertained at the sight of a pouting Yang Xiao Long.

That was right.

Yang Xiao Long. Pouting.

It was a rare sight to behold. And Blake didn't want to stop seeing it. And to do that, Blake would have to poke fun at the normally laidback girl.

"We're not swimming," she said, shielding her eyes from the sun. They were currently already outside on the open beach. Thankfully, it wasn't crowded as she first feared.

Blake frowned when her shoes drowned a little in the white sand. She'd forgotten about how... annoying sands could be.

She walked, and Yang followed behind her.

"Then what are we doing here?" whined the blonde. "I know being mysterious is your thing and all, but this is getting a little frustrating..." Blake turned her head towards her just so Yang could see her raised eyebrow. Yang quickly crossed her arms, looked away, and mumbled, "Okay, a lot frustrating."

... Cute.

But unfortunately, doing this - not telling Yang about her plans - for any longer would be mean, even for her. And so, Blake should tell Yang.

"Remember when we were walking on the street that one time," she started, slowing her pace so she and Yang could walk side-by-side. "I asked you if you were afraid of heights..."

Blake could feel Yang's gaze. She squirmed a little at the intensity of it.

"Yeah. I did. Didn't think you'd remember that." How could she not? It was an amazing walk... there was also lots of kisses.

"I remember plenty," Blake said simply, hoping Yang wasn't going to read too much of it. "That's why I brought us..." she gestured towards what was in front of her, "here."

There were boats. There were people wearing life-jackets. There were surfers.

"... I still don't understand." Of course, she didn't.

Blake chuckled and planted a kiss on her lips. Yang, not expecting such an act, squeaked and blushed after they've broken away, much to her enjoyment.

"My silly Dragon, don't you see?" She cocked her head a little. Her voice was a purr when she said, "We're going to dine."

Umm... yeah, that just happened.

Oh yeah, and Volume 6 is out and I am loving the new episode! There are lots of White Rose fluff and Bumblebee angst~ and I am greedily drinking all of the content like Qrow with his whiskey~

See you all next week, oh, and I hope you have a good day! :D
