07/30/1999…

It was during the wedding of Mina and Ozpin did something exciting occur in Weiss's Schnee's life. Wearing the best silver dress she owned she say next to Blake in the time before the reception.

Weiss had found it harder to alone with Blake like this, ever since she started coming to terms with the frankly, in her own eyes, unnatural feelings she had for Blake. Weiss would try to vent off the feelings she was bottling up in private or by giving Blake playful hugs once in a while.

But when they were talking about how handsome certain boys looked at the wedding. A distraction to say the very least for Weiss. Blake said something that smacked the wind out of her sails in an instant.

"I think it's about time I got back into the dating game, what do you think?" Blake asked her best friend.

Weiss was flustered slightly stammering out "I mean I guess, your the only one who can really make that kind of decision for yourself right?"

Blake hid her face and said a muffled "I know, and I realistically know that I'm not going to let myself get together with another Adam, but I'm so nervous at the idea!"

Weiss steeled herself against the coming heartache by boldly declaring to her friend. "I'll help you wing yourself back into the dating game the best I can okay?"

Blake smiled and said "Thanks Weiss, I really mean it. I wish I had a friend like you years ago."

Weiss sighed out thinking "Girl if you knew where my mind goes when it comes to you, you'd run screaming." before she said, "Yeah, well, I don't know."

Blake smiled and put a hand on Weiss's shoulder. "I mean it, I mean I owe a lot to the others, but your the one that always stood right beside me throughout it all." Blake smiled "That's why I know I can trust you with this one okay? I know you won't hurt me."

Weiss was confused for a second "I won't… Blake, what do you mean you know I won't hurt you?"

Blake blushed "I guess I need to spell it out then... " Blake took a deep breath "I'm sorry if this bothers you, but… Well, I'm Bi…"

Weiss blinked "Oh my god is this happening?!" Before she stammered out "I-I mean that will make this easier for us to-"

Blake nervously stammered out "I know this is a one in a million shot in the dark, your family goes to church every Sunday and on some Wednesdays for God's sake. I know you probably don't feel the same but-"

"Yes." Weiss blurted out.

"W-What?" Blake blurted out in shock. "Yes, what?"

"Yes, we should try dating." Weiss blurted quietly while looking around to make sure her parents are not around.

Blake blushed and stammered "O-oh…. O-okay then, just like that?"

Weiss stammered quietly with a wide smile on her face "Well… Yeah actually just like that."

Blake leaned in and said with a wavering voice "So, wait, are you… well… Gay?"

Weiss rubbed her neck nervously "I mean I know it kinda goes against everything I learned at church, but… Well, I'm not attracted to guys, I'm attracted to you… I guess that makes me gay right?" Weiss didn't catch herself finger her cross necklace around her neck as she talked to Blake.

"You know if your parents were not here I'd kiss you right now?" Blake said.

"Yeah? Well if your parents were somewhere else I'd let you." Weiss said back with a smile and a nervous giggle.

It was at that point that Jaune and Yang sat down to chat with them for a few moments, they would have to finish the conversation later…


08/11/1999…

It would be the last big get together they gang would have before the new school year. Jaune still had the run of his place as his parents wouldn't be back for a few more days and today was Blake's birthday, it was not natural that Jaune would open his doors for his friends, with permission of course.

Weiss was not accustomed to being pinned against the wall like this. But there she was being pressed against the wall of the spacious guest restroom feeling small soft lips on her neck as she stared at the ceiling…

"Someone's going to come in here eventually…" Weiss whimpered out. It's not that she wasn't having just the best time here, and honestly, they do make out more often. But her legs were starting to cramp up.

Blake just purred into her neck before Weiss started to buckle as Weiss said "B-Blake, Walker please!"

Blake pulled back and Caught Weiss as she was about to start to drop and helped her to the counter "Oh Jesus Weiss sorry, I don't know what came over me?" Blake said with a worried look on her face.

"It's okay, I'll be sore for a few hours but I'll take it over the damn chair," Weiss said as she rubbed her rather sore legs for a few moments.

Blake got a playful smirk on her face as she started Rubbing Weiss's legs for her. Weiss's eyes drifted closed for a few moments before she heard a knock on the wall next to them.

Both Blake and Weiss found themselves making eye contact with Jaune who looked at the pair with a raised eyebrow before he signed out [Hey so uh… I kinda have to use the restroom…]

Blake and Weiss looked at each other then at Jaune before the pair stepped out of Jaune's bathroom and he closed the door behind him.

Weiss giggled as she leaned on her walker. "So we're here overnight right?"

Blake leaned in and purred into Weiss's ear "Oh the things I plan on doing to you tonight." which caused Weiss to blush as she remembered that they were technically chaperoned.

She remembered Jaune had told his mother that Ms. Neo from next door would keep an eye on things but she left after saying something along the lines of "Don't knock anyone up." Looking at Jaune in particular.

Now that she thought about it she hasn't seen her since then.

When Jaune stepped out of the bathroom drying his hands he leaned tossed the damp towel back into the restroom and signed out [I'm glad to see you two are happy. I know I didn't get a chance to say that before now, but I really am.]

Blake spoke up with a playful smirk "Well don't get idea's Arc, we're not letting you watch." she paused and tapped him on the chest. "Or join in."

Jaune shook his head [Sorry, there's not enough of me to go around.] He signed as he started to walk back [Speaking of which for god sake get out here! Ruby is destroying us in Street Fighter Alpha 3, and we need all the help we can get]

Both girls laughed as Weiss shouted "Tell them help is on the way!" at Jaune as he rounded the corner.

Blake laughed as they were both left in the hallway, As Blake caught the look on Weiss's face she could only say "What?"

Weiss smirked and said, "You would not have said that a few weeks ago."

Blake giggled "A few weeks ago I would have still been hiding what I am, No one here cares that were not straight, that's so freaking awesome. Our friends are the best."

Weiss couldn't deny it, she hid what she is for so long that it feels… liberating to just be able to, for a lack of a better word "Just be".

Blake pulled her in for a last kiss before they both split up and to help the rest of their friend rally against the unstoppable might of Ruby's "Sakura Game."


The following morning Weiss had to head home. Her parents didn't exactly have plans for them that day, but her mother wanted her to restrict the amount of time she spent around "The poor folks" as she often referred to Jaune and her mother.

When Weiss walked into the main sitting room where her father and mother were watching the news seemingly fixated on a story about that whole "Y2K thing" that had been making the rounds she sat down and waited for one of them to acknowledge her.

"Weiss my dear, how was your evening with friends?" Her father said with a jovial tone in his voice.

Weiss smiled and said "I went fine dad, it was good to spend time with my friends."

Jacques looked at her daughter with a smile as Weiss noticed her mother was side-eyeing her. "Any boys there?"

Weiss shrugged and said honestly "Well Jaune was there obviously, and I saw Neptune for a while there when Yang showed up, but otherwise no."

Winter had pulled up a seat behind her parents and finger signed [Play it cool but they saw your computer unlocked last night.]

Weiss internally cringed at that idea, just before she left for Jaune's she was chatting with…

"So, I have to ask hon, who's this boy you were talking to on IM last night, and were they at this party as well?" Weiss's mother asked her.

"Boy? I mean I talk with Ren on IM sometimes, but I wouldn't say he's a friend, he's just in the group chat sometimes."

"Honestly Weiss, if you have a boyfriend, it's okay, if anything we'd want to meet whoever they are at some point," Her father said with a chuckle.

Weiss chuckled as she felt the color drain slightly from her face. Honestly, it wouldn't be so bad if it was a boy, but her parents didn't choose the conservative and rather religious part of the state for nothing, they were both as devout as the came. The idea of being outed to them horrified them to her core.

While she was in thought her dad said "Well I guess she's a bit embarrassed maybe we should leave her be for now."

Winter chimed in "Yeah I mean I know you scared off the last guy I brought home dad."

Weiss sighed out in relief as she muttered out "Yeah that's fair, maybe I'll bring her over sometime when I'm more comfortable with it." before her eyes shot wide hoping they didn't just catch what she said.

Her mom looked at Weiss with a raised eyebrow. "Her?" As she sat up and said, "What do you mean her?"

Jacques sat up and shifted slightly closer to her daughter. "Dear, let Weiss speak, I'm sure she'll be willing to clarify what she meant."

Winter moved over to sit with Weiss as she felt panic pumping in her chest. "What did I do, What the fuck did I just do!?"

Jacques leaned in close with a fatherly smile on his face. "It's okay if you need to get something off your chest."

Weiss folded her arms around herself, she's seen people be thrown out of their homes over this, she's read stories of people ended up on the streets because of this. "I… I'm sorry daddy I c-can't change who I am."

"Oh my god, is my daughter a fucking dyke?" Weiss's mother screamed out.

"Lillian, you've had a couple drinks today, why don't you lay down for a bit and let me handle this," Jacques said as he held his hand out towards his wife.

"A Couple dri- Jesus mother it's nine in the morning!" Winter barked out.

"No! You don't tell me anything, I will not have one of my children be indoctrinated into degeneracy!" Weiss's mother screamed out.

"Literally not how that works mother," Weiss added to the conversation.

"Actually Weiss might have a-" Jacques

"Do not take her side, Jacques, we are a god-fearing house and that is a hell worthy sin!" Lillian screamed at her husband. "This is happening because she's always hanging out with those two retarded kids!"

Weiss was about to say something but was stopped by her father whose face was turning increasingly enraged. "You need to step out an allow me to handle this before you say something you're going to regret when you sober up Lillian!" Jacques shouted in a rare display of anger.

Lillian Schnee scoffed and started walking out of the room shouting "I will never regret saying what needs to be said."

Once she was out of the room Winter spoke out "I can not believe that woman birthed us." After a pause, she also followed up with "I also can't believe you put it i-"

"Stop!" Weiss said holding up a hand "I do not need that mental image."

Jacques scoffed to hide the fact he was trying not to laugh before he turned to Weiss "So…"

Weiss still shaking from the nerves "Yeah?"

"If I had to guess, I'd say the Belladonna girl?" Her father asked directly.

Weiss couldn't make eye contact and looked off to the side "I'm sorry daddy I can't control how I feel."

Jacques nodded as he rubbed his hands together. "Well, I suppose none of us can." He reached over and rubbed his daughter's neck "I won't treat you different, you're still my little girl… but it might not be a bad idea for us to find you a place to stay for a few days while I try to get your mother on the same page as the rest of us."

"Well, I have been considering getting myself my own place for a while now," Winter said. "She can stay with me, but won't be immediate right?"

Jacques pulled out his expensive-looking blackberry phone "I might be able to help out, let me see what I can do."

"Uh… I could ask Jaune if he didn't mind a roommate for now, they have a guest bedroom" Weiss asked. "Winter, can you get my laptop?"

Winter got up walked off to get her laptop. Leaving Weiss and her father alone.

"You don't have to pretend for my sake dad, I know that what I'm doing is wrong…" Weiss said.

Jacques raised an eyebrow. "Lord almighty your wound up way too tight kiddo." Jacques said, "I suspected something like this for a while now, I mean most girls your age would have been one on a date with a boy or two by now." He reached over and patted her back before he continued "I mean this puts more pressure on your sister to settle down and give us some grandbabies sure…"

Weiss nervously chucked out. "But… Mom's going to hate me, I might not be able to come back here right?"

"Just because I go to church and vote republican doesn't mean I would ever turn my back on my child for who she is or who she dates. Quite frankly, if she ever tried to force any of my kids out of my home over something as frankly trivial as who they want to date. Well, she would be in for quite the surprise." Her father said with a warm smile.

Winter came back with her laptop a few moments later. "Okay let us hope he's online right?" she said as she plugged into the nearby phone jack.


By mid-afternoon she was back at the Arc house. As winter helped move a few things into the house that Weiss would need for a few days. Jaune stood there looking stoic watching Winter.

Weiss was sitting on a chair with her walker next to her "I'm sorry about this Jaune."

Jaune signed back [It's all good, my mom was surprisingly understanding of everything.]

"I mean it though, your mother didn't have to step up to the plate like this," Weiss said.

[Well, getting tossed out because of the fact that you have a girlfriend and not a boyfriend is not something my mother tolerates.] Jaune signed with a stern look [We don't talk about it much, but I have an aunt I never met. I never met her because she came out to my grandparents when she was all of fourteen and they tossed her out her ass.]

"Does your mother ever see her sister?" Weiss asked.

Jaune paused for a moment getting a pained look on her face [We don't talk about it...] Jaune signed as moved out of winters way. [Needless to say, your welcome to stay as long as you need to okay?]

Weiss smiled and sighed. "Thanks, I mean that."

Jaune smiled and signed out. [We know how to treat family here Weiss.] Jaune signed before he led her inside to her temporary home.

Weiss looked around and followed soon afterward.


So I guess I need to take the [Not a Monochrome fic] out of the description now right?

I know I said I was going to put this fic on hold while I worked on "Broken Shield", but I'll be honest, no one is reading it, and I had a pretty good idea for this one, so where we are. So I think I'm going to mix it up and rotate updates between this story and "Broken Shield" When I'm not updating Dust eater.

Also to everyone that's been commenting on this story, looking at you "Ways" I do appreciate the feedback of course. I hope this scratches that Monochrome itch for you "Chinaluv" and to everyone else, thank you again. I hope you all enjoy this chapter and I'll catch you all next time!
