Weiss had spent around 10 minutes or so finishing up all she had to do so she could have nothing else to do later, and possibly spend more time with the wolf faunus, she began to slightly speed walk towards the fountain in a much better mood than she had been in a few days. "I hope I didn't take too long.." Weiss looked at her scroll then at the time which showed it was now 10:00, this caused her to frown since Weiss usually liked to be early with stuff, but she couldn't have just abandon everything she was doing, even if she wanted to do just that.
Weiss saw the fountain ahead, and she quickened her pace even more as the strange feelings of affections swelled up in her chest, making her want to be near the other girl even more now! But she slowed down as she reached the fountain and saw no one there... "..." Weiss looked left and right then walked around the fountain in search of Ruby, but she saw no sign of the faunus. "She didn't..I.. Blake? Ruby..?!" Weiss stood there trying to process the fact that no one was there.
"Did they set me up?!" Weiss was slowly growing frustrated as the quiet silence passed by, but she hoped that the silence would be broken by the loud wolf faunus.. But no sounds ever came besides the wind blowing gently and the rustling of the leaves of trees near by, "I cannot believe those two!" Weiss rubs her head and sits down on the fountain's stony side that held the water in, and held her head in her palms, "I looked like an idiot for nothing! I rushed for nothin-?!" As Weiss slowly moved her face from her palms and looked down at the ground, she saw a little piece of a message dug into the walkway, and stopped again.
Weiss finally looked up more and saw the rest of the message, well it wasn't really a message, it was just a bunch of awful drawings of things that Weiss had no clue what they meant. Weiss took a deep breath and stood up and walked to the message before looking down at it, scowling. "Well, at least this is better than being stood up.. And that is definitely Ruby's awful drawling, because I don't know anyone else who would draw in stone.."
Weiss tilted her head at the message while trying to figure out what it meant. Drawn on the stone was an awful picture of what Weiss guess was herself and a picture of what looked like broccoli, and a wolf standing in the middle of the broccoli.. And the broccoli had smiling faces in their leaves, "What is she trying to interpret?!" Weiss looks at the other two pictures and saw they were of a sticky Beowulf dead on the side of the broccoli along with what looked like a glass? "Sweet mother of all that is unnamed.. I think I am really dating a kid.. I don't even know what to say! What was she thinking while writing this? Hold on.."
Weiss crouches slightly and squints to see the last message "Come find me Weiss~!" Weiss stands back up and looks around a few times hoping this was just some kind of joke now, but still, no one popped out and yelled 'Just joking!'
"Well.. It is still early, and my class isn't until an hour.." Weiss knew it wasn't a good idea to bother looking for the faunus, since if she did, she would most likely get so into looking for the faunus she would probably lose track of time. A few words Weiss slightly always did uphold were "A Schnee never gives up", which usually was a good thing if Weiss was intent on doing something that wasn't risky, but this was slightly risky, she would be missing a whole class and if they started to teach something new, she would be behind the class..
Weiss stood there thinking of her options, she could either give a small search, and if she didn't find Ruby within the hour, give up no matter how badly she wanted to accomplish her mission..Or she could save herself the trouble of even dealing with the urges to find Ruby for her own satisfaction.. But Ruby was her.. Weiss gulp since she slightly felt a little uneasy with the words, since if she admitted it, she would be admitting a lot of things, such as the fact she was gay.. Weiss shakes her head.
Weiss wasn't rushing anything, neither was Ruby, they would take this at their own pace and get this right. But Ruby was someone close to Weiss, she couldn't just leave Ruby wherever she was.. Ruby could get in trouble somehow and Weiss had said she would be there for the wolf faunus.. What did Ruby plan?
Ruby or school.. Weiss looked at one hand.."School..Or Ruby.." She clutches her hand as if it was the entire word school.. "Ruby.." Weiss knew there were more downfalls to picking Ruby, but she would fix them later, she was an Schnee and they were never left behind from a small bump in the road! Weiss smiled slightly at the thought before taking off back into the school in search of Ruby..
Cafeteria
Weiss walked into the cafeteria to try and figure the first picture out and walked across the lines of half empty tables and towards the back where they stored the foods "I really need to be careful now.. Grr.. Ruby the things I do for you are insane, but they make me crazy because I do them even though I have the choice to not!" Weiss looked around and saw no one around and quickly walked into the back before shutting the door behind her, but a thought popped up in the back of her head of a saying people use to tell her in which she would laugh in their faces, since she never truly believed in love,
"Love can make people do crazy things huh? Hah..I guess this is what I get for laughing in the face of love multiple times, finally getting its revenge." Weiss quietly laughs to herself while walking along the boxes of foods looking for what she thought was broccoli, "I don't see how broccoli has anything to do with this whole issue, but I don't put it behind her to do something stupid like this.." Weiss saw no broccoli on the lower shelf and she groaned before slowly looking up and muttering under her breath, "Please don't tel-"
There sat up on the highest shelf was the crate of frozen broccoli. "Wow! Look at my amazing luck!" Weiss stopped and shook her head since she had been getting way too sarcastic with herself lately and she tried raising on her tiptoes, weakly swatting at the box hoping it would fall down or absolutely anything, but the box just didn't budge from its spot.
Weiss glares at the box "Grr.." Weiss tries to jump up and down a few times to get the box, but still she makes no progress.
Weiss began to get even more frustrated with the box, and kicked the wall since she still had short temper issues, but the kick was hard enough to make the box, move a little forward. Weiss didn't notice and continued to kick the wall when suddenly the box dropped down in front of Weiss scaring the heck out of her, making her jump back with a squeak. "Eep!" Weiss was trying to defend herself when she slowly lowered her arms and saw the box fallen over on its side and all the frozen broccoli filling out.
Weiss blushes darkly at her reaction and coughs a few times before calming back down and walking over to the box. "Alright, hopefully there's something, and I mean anything.."Weiss digs through the broccoli and after a few minutes she hisses, "Nothing! Absolutely nothing! I was sure what she drew was broccoli!" Weiss stands up and storms out of the storage room not even bothering to touch the box of broccoli anymore, "I'm not eating broccoli for a long time and it's again all thanks to Ruby's awful drawling skill!"
Weiss thought of buying Ruby art teachers so she could actually learn art which wasn't actually a bad idea, Ruby seemed like she liked to try and draw on her free time so maybe she would like to actually learn the art..
The dorm
Weiss had gone to the dorm in the hope that would get her any hints, but when she went in she saw nothing beside a sleeping Zwei who looked exhausted from running around the place playing with Yang. Weiss had noticed the pair of sisters always played with Zwei in weird ways, sometimes, Weiss would walk into the room to see Yang holding Zwei balled up and then she would roll him into a bunch of paper made pins before also hearing Ruby squeal from her top bunk, 'Strike!'
Weiss knew never to question them about it, since they also always gave strange responses, but Blake always would fight with Zwei and the two would fight until they fell asleep from exhaustion. Weiss looked at the corgi a little longer before walking over to her and Ruby's beds and began to look around them and move stuff in search of some sort of hint. "Where would I hide a hint if I was a hyper wolf faunus.." Suddenly, Weiss stops searching while going wide eyed.. "She didn't.."
Weiss slowly turns around and looks towards the bathroom. "No.. She wouldn't have made the same mistake twice.. Would she?!" Weiss's face turns to one of terror and she gulps before slowly walking over to the bathroom, "If she did leave hints in the.. The.. Toilet again, I swear, I won't get it! I refuse! There is a limit to what I will do, and digging in a toilet is the limit!"
Zwei lazily lifts his head since Weiss's loud mumbling had woken him up and he watched as Weiss quickly pushed open the bathroom door before storming inside, Weiss stood there glaring at the toilet and Zwei grew more confused by the girls' actions, since the toilet really did nothing to be glared at in such a way since he quite liked the toilet, it provided him water. Zwei was also always amazed by the toilets abilities to have unlimited water, and when all his masters were gone..
He would sit there and paw the handle making it flush over and over while trying to catch the water with his paws, but Weiss looked angry at the toilet.. Zwei tilted his head and barked a few times. "Woof woof?" This slightly gets Weiss's attention and she looks over to the corgi who was lying there on Blake's bed with his head tilted.
"Sorry Zwei, I didn't mean to wake you up buddy."She shakes her head a few times before turning her attention back to the toilet. "Alright Weiss.. She wouldn't willingly put another item in the toilet like last time, we made sure she understood that it wasn't normal!" Weiss slightly still had issues with Ruby doing things that was more dog or wolf like than human, and she only guessed it was the downfalls to being a faunus.
Weiss took a deep breath, and closed her eyes before quickly lifting the toilet seat and kept her eyes shut for a few minutes.. Weiss slowly peeked an eye out and saw the toilet had nothing in it and she clearly relaxed "Oh, thank goodness.." Weiss had to check just to make sure the toilet had nothing hidden under the rims and flushed the toilet once, but the toilet didn't flush.. "Huh?" Weiss tried to flush it again, but the toilet still didn't flush.
"What is making the toilet not flush..?" Weiss slowly lifted the back to the toilet and she froze.. Inside the clog was a stuffed animal of a teddy bear. "I should have known.." Weiss slowly places the top back down and turns and walks out the room quietly, not feeling up to even try, she would leave Yang to deal with it..
In the middle of Beacon's walkways
Weiss stood in the middle of the walkway rubbing her face before pulling out her scroll which showed the time. "2:00.. I have been looking for her for 4 hours.. And I have found no clues.." Weiss was starting to get tired and possibly about to give up her search. Weiss had tried everything, she messaged Ruby, she called out for her, she even tried to set up cookie traps! But nothing worked!
Weiss suddenly heard a pair of faunus walk by whispering to themselves about a wolf faunus being on campus, "Hmm.." Weiss slowly turns and acts as if she was heading in the same direction to follow the two faunus.
"I don't know about you, but earlier I saw a strange girl run in the direction of Emerald forest, thing is, she had the scent of a wolf! It really surprised me, and she looked so happy, all those stupid stories on them make me laugh!" The deer boy faunus chuckles while the girl with ram horns nods.
"Well of course, they're exaggerating, but they're not entirely incorrect either.. Wolves are dangerous, both in the wild and out of it.. But it's never good to judge people from stories when you don't give a person a chance." she states.
"Well, I'm just surprised they're still kicking and fighting! Good to see another faunus on campus that truly puts on a fight." Weiss smiles slightly at the two before she stops following them and turns her attention towards the direction of Emerald forest..
"What is she doing now?" Weiss looked back down at her scroll and saw it was now 2:10 "If I run there.. I should make it to Emerald forest in 20 minutes" Weiss started to run towards Emerald forest, but she was slow in heels, but she also didn't feel like taking them off like she did to her other pair. Weiss was still upset she left her heels back in Forever Fall, but couldn't do much about it now..
Weiss ran towards Emerald Forest, but half way there Weiss felt her scroll go off, but she ignored it since she assumed it was either Blake or Yang trying to see what she was doing and after a minute her scroll went off again which caused Weiss to groan in frustration. "Ugh! I don't have time!" Weiss pulls her scroll out, but doesn't even bother turning it on, but what she does do is turn her scroll on silence before shoving the now silent scroll in her pocket and continued her running.
...
...
Weiss finally makes it to the beginning of Emerald Forest and looks around, but she quickly spots, white rose petals trailing down the trees of the forest.. Weiss walks over to one of the white petals and picks it up and examines it, but she feels the petal was slightly cold. Weiss moved the petal to her other hand and looked at the hand that once held the petal and saw.. Paint? "What?" Weiss didn't know why the petals were covered in white paint, and the paint job done on the petals was quite sloppy, but Weiss could find out soon if she followed them..
"This is slightly intriguing me while at the same time making me nervous.. Because the whole day I haven't known what's been running through Ruby's mind.." Weiss slowly began to follow the petals, but she kept her left hand near her rapier since this was still the Emerald Forest, home to most of the Grimm.. And that also worried Weiss, what did the petals mean? Where was Ruby? Why did she lead her out here? Many questions ran through her head as she followed the petals.
Weiss stopped when she heard a noise ahead and crouched slightly while gripping the halt of her rapier tighter and creeped in on the cause of the noise.. Weiss slowly stopped at a bush and peeked over it.. But she slightly froze when she saw Ruby, Ruby was standing in the middle of a clearing with a few tree's around the area cut and fallen and Crescent Rose was in her hand, but the scythe was in what looked like a hold that had no intent to fight, other wise she would have been more positioned and not so..Relaxed? No that wasn't it..She looked relax, but tense at the same time..
Weiss couldn't see Ruby's face, since she was gazing outward into the trees, but Ruby's ears her perked high above her head..Weiss's eyes trailed over to where Ruby was looking and saw a figure..Someone or thing was there, but who? Weiss squinted and tried to make out the person, but all she saw was part of a red dress? Weiss watched as Ruby's tail swayed slightly seeming to be excited by the person's appearance, but also hesitant about it.. It seemed as if the pair were speaking with no words..
Weiss noticed the figure was slightly moving as if about to step out of the tree's shadows, but Weiss hadn't notice exactly how curious she was getting or how she was leaning forward trying to make more of the person out..
Weiss shifted slightly and accidentally placed her hand on a sharp rock and whimpered, but the whimper caught the other person's attention and and their eyes quickly darted over to where Weiss was and she quieted down.. Ruby slowly turned around also with wide eyes and she quickly glanced back over to the person before she gave a quick head shake. The other person stared at the direction of Weiss a little longer before leaving without tracks or any sounds..
Weiss silently hoped that Ruby didn't know she was there, but after a minute of silence, a red blur pounced out the bushes and caused them to roll back a bit. Weiss's back was hardly pushed to the ground and caused her to grunt loudly..The minutes of silence was Ruby actually activating her semblance and making a quick turn, but now Ruby had Weiss pinned below her, and her ears were still perking up high and her tail was going nuts behind her.
Weiss didn't know why the wolf faunus was so happy, but the happy feeling emanating off Ruby was starting to effect her and she slowly tried to sit up, but Ruby didn't move. Ruby stared down at Weiss with a toothy grin and quietly whispered to her, "Hey Weiss."
"Hello Ruby.. Uh.. Could you move so I can get up maybe? Or I will push you off me..The ground is ruining my skirt.." Ruby nods and slowly gets up before helping Weiss up, and Weiss was about to ask who the other person was, but she remembered she had something she wanted to talk to Ruby about before that.. "R-Ruby..?" Ruby had grabbed Weiss's hand and was now dragging Weiss to the clearing, but she didn't speak until she sat Weiss down on the grass with on one of the cut trees behind her before sitting down next to her.
"Weiss! Before you speak, I want to say..I care for you so much Weiss, I really do! I know I do.. I really do.." Ruby clutched the hem of her skirt and gulps "It's not heat that's making me feel this way Weiss.. Please don't think it is! I-It can prove it! I cleared out the area of grim and cut a few trees down! Look! And the petals!" Ruby moves back a bit of her hair to show white paint in parts of her hair on her face, along with her hands and arms, "I tried Weiss! I'm sorry I caused confusions o-or! If I upset you with my touchy feelings"
Weiss's eyes were widened at Ruby declare since Ruby was blushing brightly and talking loudly.. "Not h-heat?" Weiss nervously eyes the wolf faunus "You're telling me that's what you want from me?" Ruby nods quickly and it causes Weiss's heart to pound hardly and her to blush brightly.
"I want you to..." Ruby pauses.
"You want me to..?"
"I..I..I want you to hug me and stay my mate and that thing people call 'girlfriend'! I want you to know I care for you and stuff! I'm sorry this is so embarrassing~!" Ruby squeaks before quickly hiding her face behind her hands while her tail sways around quickly next to her.. Weiss stares at her in disbelief, and then slowly stopped and rubbed her face at their opposite understanding levels, had they been thinking two different things the whole time? Of course. She was never on the same level as the wolf faunus, and if she was, that would be the demise of Beacon.
"There I go again.." Weiss shakes her head and was about to speak, but Ruby cut her off with a kiss that was extremely sloppy, and hurt Weiss since Ruby's sharp teeth cut her lip slightly "OwOw!" Weiss tried re-adjusting her position in the kiss, but all she continued to feel was pain as Ruby's teeth were dragging along her lips.. Weiss pushed Ruby back and held her mouth while panting.. Ruby looked at Weiss with a hopeful expression.
"Did I.. Did I prove it?" Ruby licks her lips while her nails dug into the ground and she was tilting her head
"Ruby..I.. That really hurt.. And what are you talking about 'proving it'? You proved it a month ago, you dolt.. Is that what all this is for?" Weiss moves Ruby's bangs and tries getting rid of the paint, but it doesn't come off and she gives up and this time correctly kisses Ruby once. "Ruby, you never did have to apologize to me, you dork.." She laughs quietly, "Really, you didn't have to do all this, and that hunt earlier, I'm going to have to teach you to correctly draw..And please do tell me what the rose petals were, because I've figured everything else out now, but not the rose petals."
Ruby frowns "Whaaat Weiss? C'mon! I mean it's pretty simple! There were trees and me and also you! And the rose petals r-represent.." Ruby blushes, "Us.." Weiss flicks Ruby's head, making her wince back and Rub her forehead.
"That was very sweet of you Ruby, but It still doesn't change the fact it took me a very long time to find you! That was not drawn clearly enough! Also, why was there a teddy bear clogging the toilet?!" Ruby pulls her hands off the ground and pokes her fingers together
"I was hiding it.." Ruby mumbled since she knew Weiss was clearly agitated with her habits,
"Excuse me? Speak up Ruby.."
"I was hiding it! So someone wouldn't steal it! The toilet is an amazing place to hide it Weiss! Why can't you just let me do it!" Ruby begins to whine and pout "It feels normal to me! So it is normal! The toilet is my friend!" Ruby blurts out loudly.
"That is unclean and not normal! Hide your stuff like a normal person! I don't know, under your pillow or anything! You can't be friends with a toilet.."Ruby shakes her head and pouts more.
"Then it would suck and everyone would find it! A toilet is a much better hiding place! The toilet is really cool, and even Zwei agrees with me!"
"Zwei is a dog, and now your teddy bear is soaking wet in dirty water.. You know what, we can talk about this later dolt, I have been looking for you all day and now that I have found you.." Weiss quiets down, but slightly scoot to Ruby side more hoping to pass the hints that she wanted to relax next to the wolf faunus since Weiss was slightly reluctant when she was the one to start their intimate moments, but Ruby smiled and stood up and pulled Weiss along.
"Weiss you know~ If you were a faunus, you'd be a cat!" Weiss huffs and raises a brow since she just wanted to relax next to Ruby,
"What makes you say that now you dolt?" Weiss asks,
"You're secretly affectionate, but you never say what you want.. You only drop hints~" Ruby giggled while letting go of Weiss's hand before spinning back around to face the clearing "Let's play, my white kitty!" Weiss frowns at the name since she couldn't really imagine herself with animal ears, and sighed quietly, but she really didn't care what she and Ruby had done.. Weiss just wanted to spend time with the wolf faunus since they hadn't talked a lot in a few days from the awkwardness..But an idea of how to calm the faunus down popped into her head and she slightly smiled.
"Play? That seems a bit childish to me Ruby.. But.." This get's Ruby's attention and she turned to see Weiss walking over to her.. Weiss leaned over to Ruby's ear and mumbled a few words before walking off over to a fallen tree, and sat down on the tree's trunk while Ruby stood there blushing brightly. "Hmm?" Weiss hummed while tilting her head at the frozen faunus who quickly shook her head
"C-Coming Weiss!" Ruby runs over to Weiss and sits next to her once more and Weiss slightly scooted into Ruby's side sneakily, before closing her eyes while Ruby sat there smiling as her ears twitched around a couple of times as they started hearing a soft melody, Ruby looked down to see Weiss's eyes were closed while she sung..Weiss's voice sounded so perfect to Ruby that she was slowly getting tired by Weiss's singing, but stayed awake..
Weiss opened her eyes while not stopping her singing and noticed Ruby was looking back down at her with a small smile, the smile made Weiss's heart thump rapidly, but continued her song, "I like this.." thought while singing her heart out to the wolf faunus who was quietly enjoying her singing, and they both were relaxed and happy to have the other one back close to them..And that was all it really took to make them both happy, just one person, two people..Sitting in a forest, enjoying the feelings of acceptance, understanding , and the one feeling that they both knew were there, but hadn't said..Love..Pure unlimited love..A love that was frowned upon, but they had stopped caring about it all when Weiss started to sing, everything was forgotten, yet everything was remembered.
Back at the dorms
Yang walked into the bathroom with a killed spider before she dropped it in the toilet and quickly flushed while waiting for the spider to be washed away, but the toilet doesn't flush.."What the.." Yang continues to try and flush, but every time she did so, the teddy bear would get more and more stuck in the toilets clog and the water was slowly starting to rise, "Stupid toilet! Work!" Zwei walked into the bathroom and noticed his owner shaking the toilet while trying to flush it.
"Blaaake! I need help! The darn toilet is jammed again!" Yang hears Blake call out from her top bunk,
"Fix it yourself Yang! I still don't like the dog.."
"So you steal my bed?" Yang laughs while accidentally shaking the toilet too hard in her frustration, and caused the hold on the toilet to be pulled up out the floor.. "Oh no, plea-" Water sprays Yang back and she yelps as she falls down and drops the toilet and Zwei barks happily at the magic toilet, before running around in the spraying water, "Zwei no! That water isn't clean!" Yang tries to get up, but slips on some soaked toilet paper, "DA-" Yang falls on her chest and grunts.
Blake looks at the pair destroying the bathroom and shakes her head "this is far too much in one day.. Yang, dear.. Please keep your crisis on a low level, I'm going to bed.. I've had enough." Blake turns off the light in their dorm and slides under Yang's sheets since she had claimed Yang's bed as her own until Zwei left.
"You're what?! The toilet! Help!" Yang places her hands on the spraying water trying to stop it, but was failing and it was spraying her in the face. "This isn't cool! Not cool at all!" Yang wails while Zwei happily rolls around in the massive puddle in the bathroom "Whhhyyyy!", Blake pulls out a pair of ear plugs and sticks them in her ears before sighing in content
"Goodnight Yang." Blake hears more muffled yelling and barks and closes her eyes satisfied.
(I can't help but write cute whiterose moments like these!) Alright, this chapter connects with chapter 33!
