Weiss
A pair of hands cupped over my eyes while I waited patiently for the bus to roll by. My lips curled into a frown when my sight had been hindered. At first, I would have thought this would be an attempt of kidnapping, but I wasn't that foolish. No idiot would abduct me at broad daylight. It was one of those childish 'Guess Who' games I often see.
And I decided to play along.
"Um…" I mumbled contemplatively. I reached over my shoulders and traced the person's face.
I started with her jawline and slowly moved up her skin. My fingertips felt every fine details and curves to paint a image in my head until they brushed some kind of… Gauze?
"Ow," the girl hissed and retracted her hands.
The high pitched voice gave the person away.
"Ruby?" I spun around on my toes and face her.
Ruby offered a sheepish smile, her fingers lamely touching her injury to soothe the pain away.
"Hey Weiss."
"Oh my god, what happened to you?" I took a step forward to pull her hand away to keep them from touching her own cheek even more. My heart tugged with guilt considering I hit her with a racket the other day.
"I fought a… Um… Raccoon!"
"Really?" I deadpanned.
"It was a big raccoon…"
"The truth, Ruby." I demanded.
Her shoulders shrunk forward and her head was downcast.
"A basketball crashed through the classroom's window and hit me…"
"What?" My face pulled back in disbelief.
Her bottom lips pulled forward, and before I even realized what I was doing, my hand pulled up to her face and gently stroked her other unscathed cheek.
"Are you okay?" I looked at her softly and deeply with concern.
"No…" Her eyes instantly darted to the floor and she leaned into my touch. She stayed like that until her eyes suddenly flung wide and she jerked herself away. "I-I think I'm better now."
I knew she wasn't. She had that odd look on her face. Her eyes scrambled around, looking anywhere but me for some reason. Off to the side, I could hear the bus's engine sighing when it pulled over to the curb. I watched students climb over the steps with the corner of my eyes and I sighed, a tiny smile forming on my lips.
"Come on Ruby." I grabbed her wrist and tugged her along with me. We went the opposite direction from the bus. "Let's go get some ice cream."
I like my Weiss as a useless lesbian if you haven't noticed.
