Yay more writing... sorry if this comes out late, my last hair tie just broke and my hair is pissing me off...
Chapter 49:
The room was tense to Ruby. She was glad Sun had left at least to go and spend time with his family, just for the sake of her not needing to worry what Weiss would do. She still couldn't see what Weiss was aiming for with her plan.
She was a little glad that whatever Blake and Pyrrha had been fighting about since breakfast. But that still was a distant thought to her. Ruby placed the bite of rice into her mouth as Weiss just continued to stare across the table at her.
That one action was what was causing Ruby issue. The fact Weiss could easily seem so innocent on the surface, but Ruby... She knew something evil was being planned. And that was what she was tearing her hair out about.
Weiss smiled placing the final bite into her mouth. "That was lovely Ruby. Thank you" Weiss spoke for her and Yang. Yang had made it clear that she wouldn't thank for anything out of anger towards the woman. Not that Weiss would blame Yang... she knew what Ruby had done when Ruby was with her. Ruby had made it clear every time.
Yang grunted as she placed her own fork down. In a rather annoyed fashion. She didn't like how it seemed Ruby had kept her skills this long, and after so much self destruction. It enraged her every time she had to eat Ruby's food. That simple thing was more than enough to rub it in Yang's face of everything 'White' had caused her to throw away.
Pyrrha was glad that her hangover had subsided enough to where her head was splitting and she could actually enjoy the delicious meal Ruby had made. Glad that Blake had seemed to calm down a bit more. And at least wasn't trying to slice her throat. Not that she could blame her. From the one scene that had come back, she had to admit Ruby was very skilled with her tongue... it made her already jumbled thoughts even more confused. She wanted more from Ruby. Not even if it was sex... just to feel Ruby curling up behind her, holding her tight.
Blake, the last occupant of the table had just barely began to tolerate Pyrrha again. The talk Yang had with her was enough to get her through the finishing up on the painting. But she still couldn't stand to see Ruby and Pyrrha sitting next to each other. It was hard, but she was glad that she at least could get Pyrrha to agree to not drink for a while again. It helped her out a little to organize her mind.
The entire room was filled with some minor tension and Ruby just knew the cause was staring at her, politely waiting for the rest of the table to finish. The smile on her face only faltering a little, almost unnoticeable amount when she turned to look at Yang. Ruby's blonde sister leaned over and began to whisper something causing Blake's ears to twitch.
Yang turned back to the group and spoke up, "Me and Blake are heading to the bar... Don't drink Pyr... that is a nightmare and a half." Yang and Blake both stood up at that as Ruby just continued to meet The bitter smile on Weiss' face. She knew that Weiss wasn't going to show her true colours while someone was here... she had the saving grace that was Pyrrha at least.
"I don't plan on it... I have work tomorrow and I can't go hungover... my boss already hates he still needs to pay for a psychology practise. I don't want to give him a reason to fire me before my own private one is set up fully." Pyrrha spoke leaning back as Ruby finished the last bite of her dinner. "Bye guys." Ruby started standing up from her chair.
She just couldn't take the pressure Weiss was putting her under. It was getting ridiculous. Not to mention the two or so hours of sleep she had wasn't cutting it to dissect what Weiss' intentions were. "I'm heading to bed..." Ruby said as Pyrrha smiled at her. "Okay, goodnight."
Pyrrha leaned back in her chair tilting her head to see Ruby walk into the bedroom. She smiled once the door closed quickly turning back to the table and began to clean it up as Yang leaned down and gave Weiss a chaste kiss.
"Don't get too drunk Yang... I don't want you spending any time in jail this off season." Weiss said as Yang smirked a little. "If I do it will be from killing someone who deserves it Snowpea. But that is why Blake is coming." Yang continued as Blake held her jacket out.
Yang slipped the jacket on as she turned to Pyrrha. "Pyr... please don't leave Weiss with Ruby... I don't want Ruby's toxicity rubbing off on Weiss." Yang said as Pyrrha rolled her eyes. "She went to bed Yang. Ruby isn't going to do much. She has spent this entire thing thinking about something. If she leaves the room it will be to go to the bathroom. That is it." Pyrrha spoke as Yang frowned a little just looking at her.
"That was the least reassuring thing I've heard... of all time... and it is far more creepy that you even noticed something like that." Yang continued as Blake opened the door and stood outside waiting for her blonde haired friend to go with her. Slightly getting irritated it was taking this long. Pyrrha could just see Blake reaching undoing the ribbon she tied around her wrist and begin to tie it around her uncovered ears.
"It is my job to see things like that Yang. Now just go and enjoy some time with Blake. If I do need to leave it will be from an emergency... which most likely won't happen. Short of an already hospital bound patient turning suicidal, or the on call psychiatrist being swamped beyond reason." Pyrrha said sliding the plates onto the counter, turning around just in time to see Yang glancing towards Weiss and back to Pyrrha. "Fine." Yang spoke raising her hands as she turned on her heel and began to walk out.
Weiss looked towards Pyrrha and stood up, quickly making her way towards the kitchen to help the red head with the dishes. Not wanting to distort the cover she has going. Not while she had the advantage. The duo fell into a pattern of Pyrrha scrubbing the pans and pots and Weiss drying them.
Weiss just thinking of one simple thought process. 'She should have reacted by now... I guess I should just apply more pressure.' Weiss wasn't sure how long she had been plotting the next stage when Pyrrha snapped her fingers in front of the white haired woman.
Startled, Weiss jumped a little and quickly began to fumble with the plate that was in her hands. Barely catching it in time before it hit the counter where it would bounce onto the floor and shatter. "Why did you do that!?" Weiss snipped, slightly startled by this entire thing. Glad Pyrrha saw some comical aspect from it. She was about to snip back at her, when Pyrrha spoke.
"Sorry... I just asked what you were thinking because you've been drying that plate for just about five minutes. So what are you thinking about?" Pyrrha asked as Weiss just glaring lightly at her. "it was something rather rude for a lady to think..." Weiss huffed as she placed the dried plate down onto the stack she had already started.
"It is okay to have rude thoughts. But what were they? It is just us here." Pyrrha asked reaching into the soapy water feeling around for the plug, blocking the water when Weiss picked up another dish. "How was Ruby in bed? I mean... last time I saw her, was graduation when she was sixteen... and I'm just a little curious." Weiss whispered the lie looking down, hoping to look at least a little bashful.
Pyrrha groaned at both Weiss' comment and the remnants of food in the sink. "I've recovered about three minutes since breakfast... I was that drunk. But from those three minutes... she is good." Pyrrha spoke blushing as she began to scrap at the food in the sink. Hoping that Weiss would drop it there, normally she would.
"Oh..." Weiss gasped looking away before Pyrrha could respond there was a vibrating sound coming from the island counter. Pyrrha glanced and frowned as she opened the message. "And like that... I need to go in... a long time patient just got admitted from a failed suicide attempt." Pyrrha said saddened at the turn this had taken. She would have rather just pass it off, but she knew the female Faunus would only talk to her.
"Go then... I'll be fine. You said it yourself... Ruby is going to be in side the bedroom all night. I'm just going to read once I get this done." Weiss spoke as Pyrrha smiled at her. "Thanks. If you are unsure where anything goes, just leave it on the counter." Pyrrha thanked as she quickly walked towards the door. She didn't want to make it harder for the pink haired Faunus.
Weiss waved Pyrrha off as she picked up the final glass. 'Oh how the fates seem to dislike you pet... she bought my lie, and I get to spend some alone time with you... I wonder if I can get a magical break by breakfast.' Weiss continued as she glanced at the clock that was in the living room. 'Five more minutes, then she should be far enough for me to strike. Yang is going to be gone for a few hours, and Pyrrha may be gone for the entire night... this is going to be fun.' Weiss thought as she placed the final glass down.
She looked at all the dishes and if she was being honest, she really didn't know where any of them went. She hadn't even dried or washed them once. She shrugged her shoulders and walked into the living room and grabbed the book that was resting on the coffee table, keeping one eye on the clock.
She inhaled deeply as the second hand ticked across the large numbers. She had no idea why she was feeling so excited about this. Like a child on Christmas morning. Desperately waiting for their parents to wake up so they could tear the paper to reveal the presents they all wanted. Or that was her understanding of the situation. She hadn't experienced that rush with the minor exceptions of the presents Yang had gotten her every year. No matter how childish the presents were, Yang had made her smile. Something she would be damned if Ruby destroyed.
The second the clock hand ticked past the time Weiss closed the book and rested it on the table, quickly stalking back to the room she had to smile at. She twisted the doorknob and slowly opened the door to see Ruby sitting facing away from the door boring holes into the wall. Her fingers on her hands slowly twitched in seeming random patterns. But to Weiss... she knew exactly what she was doing.
Weiss slowly crept towards Ruby, and took a seat on the bed. Slowly watching Ruby's mouth twitch as her eyes were clamped shut. Desperately trying to figure this out. Weiss' already sinister smile grew. She knew that she was effecting Ruby by merely being there. But clearly they would need to stay longer in a place she didn't like.
"Nice to see your mind is as sharp as always." Weiss spoke leaning down on the clean sheets. Enjoying the smell of lavender that was flooding her nose from them. The second the words left Weiss' mouth Ruby literally jumped up and clung to the wall facing the white haired woman, just casually laying down, slowly twirling her finger on top of the sheets, acting like she had never done anything to Ruby.
"Pyrrha had to go to work... that means we are all alone till midnight at least... so what do you want to do? We can still call Cinder up... get fucking strung up and then have sex. Or we can chat about how Sun may be your only reliable fall back... or even perhaps sell you out for shits and giggles again. Remember that week? Fun times." Weiss laughed looking up as Ruby glared daggers at her.
"Of course, you can leave the room and I can stay in here... maybe hit my face once or twice make it look like you attacked me... I wonder how Yang would react? Not good I think... I mean when I got Roman to rob us, she already wasn't happy. So it is up to you really." Weiss continued shifting her look to look like she was still innocent, her lips forming a little faux pout.
Ruby's fists clenched, as she looked at Weiss. She could feel her blood boiling with anger as she looked at Weiss. "Leave. Sun. Alone." Ruby seethed as Weiss just smiled a little. "That depends entirely on your next actions. Turns out my father who you know well, has a taste for buying flats largely populated by Faunus and tearing them down. Or buying building companies that he then purges of Faunus Labourers and moves them to the mines... funny how if I accidentally offer information to him of the sort..."
Ruby felt her knuckles clench tighter as she reiterated her same statement, with more force behind it. "Leave. Sun. Alone." the blood dripping freely as Weiss smiled. "Well then... here is what you are going to do if you want to protect that riff raff..."
Author's Note:
Oh no... evil white haired lady pinning Ruby against Big Bro Sun... am I really that evil? Probably... I mean I've gotten about three hours each day the last few weeks... but let me know what you think. so i'm posting this early… and then going to go try and get more sleep, so no double upload like I know a few would want. Onto the guest reviews...
Guest #1: You seem to have been mislead... small pet peeve I know from people who have been to AA they do not want to get lumped in with NA. One is for drunks, the other is for people who do illegal drugs. Sponsors are not mandatory either from my understanding. It is just highly suggested, just for someone to call if you feel the urge to go back, someone to talk you off the proverbial ledge. Ruby could very well opt out of a sponsor willingly because she feels the overwhelming statistic of relapse for opioid abusers could very well be pointless to make an unneeded emotional connection that sponsors need. For the connection of sex… sex can just be meaningless sex. As for the testing, Ruby should, but even if she doesn't consent to one there would be enough on stock during her weekly drug test to test for that. But even if she does have some, most can be treated fully if not managed well.
Guest #2: Well... that is subjective... I find this ending a little sunshine and rainbows…but I know what is going to happen.
Guest 4: Every single guest review you see on my page I have free range to edit or just delete... I could have easily changed your review to 'I love Weiss soooo much'... I didn't to prove a point.
