Pov: Ruby

Weiss was mad. I can see that easily. She was constantly telling me to hurry up and would refuse to talk to me. This went on all day. Finally, the day was over and we could have some time to ourselves.

Weiss and I walked into the room and I grabbed her shoulder.

"Weiss what's wrong?" I asked.

"What's wrong? You didn't notice how Neptune was acting? Escorting you to class, moving your hair around." She said.

"I'm sure tat he was just being nice."

"Uh huh." Weiss said.

"Weiss, I'm not into guys. You of all people should know that." I wrapped my arms around her stomach.

"Yes but-"

"I'll tell him to not try anything like that again, okay?" I asked.

Weiss sighed and kissed my hand.

"Okay." She said.

"Thank you Weiss." I smiled.

"Oh hush you dolt." Weiss said.

We walked to our desks and worked on our homework. It took about twenty minutes with Weiss' help. She placed her hand on my hand.

"I'm sorry for getting jealous." Weiss said.

"It's fine Weiss. I get why you were suspicious. Tell you what, how about I get you your specialty."

"A coffee with three sugar?" Weiss asked.

"It's two with cream." I smiled.

"Good girl." Weiss pecked my lips.

I ran out of the door and saw a flower on the floor.

'To my rose petal.'

I blushed and continued to walk towards the cafe.

"Good afternoon Ruby. Rose special?"

"Not today, Gus. It's the Schnee special today."

"Coming right up." He said.

"So, I see that you got my flower." I heard.

I turned to see Neptune.

"Neptune, I appreciate the flower, but look I need to tell you something." I said.

"Oh yeah?" He asked.

"Neptune, I'm Weiss' girlfriend."

"Well let me tell you something as well. I don't know if you see it, but Weiss treats you like a pet. She also treats you as if you're her property. After I helped you yesterday, she pushed me into the wall and told me 'you were hers' I believe the exact words were." He said.

I didn't know if he was telling the truth or not.

"She doesn't treat me like a pet." I said.

"So her calling you a dolt and you not calling her anything doesn't make you suspicious?" He asked.

"Well I…"

"Schnee special." Gus said.

"And now you're her pack mule." He sighed.

"Uh…"

"Just tell her that I talked to you and watch how defensive she gets." He said.

I walked up and grabbed Weiss's coffee and started to walk towards my room.

'It's not like that at all. Weiss doesn't treat me like I'm a pet or her property. And this is an peace offering… but Weiss does call me dolt a lot. But she doesn't mean it as an insult…'

I opened my door and saw Weiss was writing her essay.

"Hey I got you your drink."

"Thanks Ruby." She didn't even look up.

"I got a flower from Neptune just now." I said, testing her based off of what Neptune said.

Weiss stopped writing and looked at me.

"What?" She asked.

"It was just a rose." I said.

"Ruby, I told you not to interact with him." She said.

"I didn't, he left it here."

"Did he write anything?"

"No. Why do you care?" I asked.

"Why do I care?! Because I don't want him trying to make a move on you, you dolt!" She yelled.

"I-I'm sorry!" I yelled back.

Weiss seemed to calm down. She walked up and hugged me.

"I-I'm sorry Ruby." She said. "I don't want him taking you from me."

I pushed her back.

"I'm not your property!" I yelled.

"What? Ruby, I know you're not." Weiss said.

"Then stop treating me like I'm your property." I said as I got into my bed.

"Ruby-"

"I think you should sleep in your bed tonight Weiss." I said.

I didn't hear Weiss, I only heard her walk away.

Pov change: Weiss

I don't know what happened to Ruby, but I'm gonna have a talk with Neptune tomorrow.

The next day

I woke up and saw Ruby was already gone.

"Ruby…"

I walked out and saw Yang and Neo were talking.

"Hey Yang." I said.

"Hey Weiss, where's Ruby?" Yang asked.

"We got in a bit of an argument, I'm gonna apologize and ask her to dinner." I said. "I just need to talk to someone first."

'I last saw Ruby heading towards the cafe.' Neo wrote.

"Thanks Neo." I said as I walked towards the cafe.

I almost made it to the cafe when I saw Ruby… talking with Neptune.

I snuck behind the corner and listened.

"I told you didn't I?"

"I… I don't know what to think. I love Weiss but…"

"What did she say when you told her about my flower?"

"She got mad like you said…" Ruby looked down.

"Well hey, I'm not like that." He lifted her head up.

He leaned towards her when I walked around the corner.

"Hey!" I said.

"Weiss!" Ruby jumped.

"Ruby, can I talk to you?" I asked.

"What?" She asked.

"Privately?" I asked, looking at Neptune.

"See you later, rose petal." Neptune shrugged and walked away.

When I knew he was gone, I talked to Ruby.

"What the hell was that?" I asked.

"What do you mean 'what the hell was that?'" Ruby crossed her arms.

"Ruby, I-"

"Let me guess, you're mad that I was talking to Neptune again. You're mad that I wasn't there to wake you up so you can call me a dolt, you were mad for no reason." Ruby said.

"Ruby, that's not-"

"Weiss, I meant what I said, I'm not your property."

"When have I ever said that?!" I asked.

"He told me what you did. How you pushed him against the wall and told him 'I was yours.' Does that ring a bell?"

I didn't say anything.

"Oh got nothing to say?" Ruby asked.

"Ruby… I was angry and…"

"You were angry… wow is that a great excuse."

"What has happened to you?" I asked.

"What has happened to me? Neptune showed me what you are. And that is a rich, manipulative, bitch." She said.

That pinched a very thick nerve. I've been teased and made fun of for being rich for years.

"Well at least I'm not some idiotic little brat who talks to a fucking scarf and is too stupid to realize that Neptune is just trying to get in your pants." I said.

Ruby stepped back.

"Ruby… I…"

*SLAP*

"How dare you! You and I are through." She said as she walked away.
