day 1
Weiss woke up feeling refreshed after a good sleep. She was surprised by this. She hadn't thought that sleeping on a bedroll to be comfortable at all. She felt relaxed as she let the bedroll embrace her. It almost felt like a hug. She really liked this sensation. Maybe this was what it felt like being hugged.
Before this, she never once had someone hug her. Maybe her mother did at one time. But that was a distant memory. Her cold father would never do that to her. And her sister wasn't the most prolific at showing affection even though they cared for each other since she could remember.
But she couldn't stay here forever. She attempted to sit, but she finds that she couldn't. looking down, She could see somebody's arm wrap around her. She hadn't expected that someone was sleeping beside her. This person's touch made Weiss felt reassured in a weird way. Weirdly it smelled like rose perfume which she finds very alluring in a way. All she could think of was this was probably her soulmate.
she heard about the rumors about soulmates and how they show up right next to you when you wake up. Weiss remembered a tale her grandfather once told her when she was little. How he and grandmother met when the Schnee Dust Company first started. He was sleeping after working in the mines, and when he woke up, he was in an inn nearby. Sleeping with the inn owner's daughter. And the rest was history.
Weiss hope that this was Pyrrha. But that hope was dashed when she felt this person was way shorter than Pyrrha. Looking at the person cuddling her. Instead of seeing a tall redhead. It was non other than that silver eyed girl she met earlier, Ruby Rose.
She was asleep still. All of her limbs were attached to Weiss in a tight bear hug. Weiss struggled to get out of this death lock. With difficulty, She wiggled her right hand out and he grabbed her sleeping mask in an attempt to wake Ruby.
She removed the sleeping mask and is greeted by a still asleep girl. This caused Ruby to hug her even more. Her face came closer until it was about inches apart. Weiss now realized how close their faces were. Close to the point where their noses touched. She could hear Ruby's soft snoring. And how she could feel the sensation of Ruby's breathing.
This closeness almost overwhelmed Weiss. A little bit closer and they would be basically kissing each other. This train of thought made her heartbeat uncontrollable. She steeled her feelings and thought of a way to get out of here.
She tried to wiggle out some more.
This commotion stirred Ruby a little. Ruby blinked a few times until she went back to closing them.
"Yes yang, I want cookies for breakfast..." Ruby murmured half asleep. Lessening the grip hold on Weiss. But not nearly enough for her to escape.
"First, cookies in the morning is bad for you. Second, let go of me!" With one final struggle. She successfully got out of the bear hug. She stood up and crossed her arms menacingly.
"Wait wha-" she saw Ruby awoken from the sudden movement. And was confused on why she was in a different bed and also why she was sleeping with Weiss. after the initial shock had happened. She stood up and was doing her best to look sorry.
"Look Ruby, let's just forget what had just happened and never talk about it again. Okay?"
"But, why am I here? I was sleeping next to Yang last night... Unless... You're my soulmate! It has to be it." Her eyes widened by the sudden revelation.
"No. This doesn't make us soulmates or anything. This was just a fluke surely." Weiss said. Denying the fact that they were soulmates in any way.
"But-"
Weiss stared down on Ruby. But then she sighed and left Ruby on her own. She hoped that this was a one time thing. Or maybe the last time them seeing each other.
day 3
"Ruby, I think you have what it takes to be a good leader." Weiss said. After some time thinking about what professor Port said earlier. She agreed that she would rather be a good person than be a leader.
All she could do is support her current leader with all she power. All Ruby did to reply was an appreciative smile.
"Good luck studying!" Weiss went down for only a second before coming right back up."That's wrong, by the way." Pointing at a small error Ruby had made in her notebook
She went back down to close the door. As she was getting closer. She had a final thought. "Hey, Ruby?" Weiss said. As she stood beside the door, ready to close the door.
"Huh?"
"I always wanted bunk beds as a kid." Weiss said as she close the door.
Weiss woke up and this time she was in Ruby's bed. All of Ruby's notes were strewed all over the bed. The coffee mug Weiss had given to her was still there. As for the owner of the bed. She was asleep with her sleep mask on. Cuddling Weiss again.
It didn't last long, however. With a yawn. Ruby removed her sleep mask, looking a little bit groggy from her last night study. When she looked at Weiss, however. She was wide awake and in full alert.
Both of them slowly sat up at on opposite sides bed. Looking at each other, she saw Ruby being a little embarrassed of what happened.
"Uhh... so... Does this make us soulmates? You know. Since we always wake up besides each other on my bed every morning." Ruby said as she try to clean up her bed. Putting all the papers and books away. She picked up the mug she used last night and holding it with her two hands.
"You do know that the first time this happened. you went into my bed." Weiss pointed out. "And yes I think so too. Being soulmates I mean."
"Awesome! We are totally together now right? Wait! I didn't say together together. I wouldn't complain if we were. But More like besties in a way." Ruby mumbled on. "Anyway... Would you like something to eat? I gotta repay you for bringing me coffee last night."
Weiss noticed what she said earlier about the together part. And to be honest. She was fine with that, they were soulmates after all.
"Oh? A personal servant I see. Well then, go fetch me breakfast my dear." Weiss ordered Ruby jokingly.
She liked how Ruby's only reply to that was pouting at her with those wife silver eyes..
But then she gave Weiss a warm smile. "I'm just glad we're soulmates now. It hadn't crossed my mind that out of all people I've met, it was you who is my soulmate. Oh my gosh that was so cheesy." Hiding her embarrassed face from Weiss, using the mug she was holding for cover.
"I should be the one saying that you know?" Weiss replied.
"Wait, what I meant was. I can't believe such an amazing person is my soulmate. You're smart, beautiful, and kind even though on the surface you sometimes act like a ice queen." Ruby looked away from Weiss for a short while. Before coming back and smiling like the dolt she was.
"I could say the same thing to you. I meant what I said last night. About being a great leader for this team. And even more. And I'll do my best as a teammate to support you. And also as your soulmate."
Weiss hadn't thought that this dolt of a partner would be her soulmate. Was she ready to have someone as important, like a soulmate into her life? Before, she only imagined being with someone only for their money and influence for the company.
Weiss dropped down from the top bunk. Not before grabbing the mug Ruby was holding. "Now, go and get food for us. I'll be making coffee for the both of us."
"That's a great idea Weiss!" She jumped from her bed. Landing right next to Weiss. She stood there for a moment before coming closer. Ruby grabbed Weiss's shoulders and then tiptoing to kiss her in the forehead.
She smiled at Weiss before disappearing in a cloud of rose petals. Leaving her rose-scented smell behind. Weiss stood there in blushing on the spot.
A cloud of rose petals Ruby left circled all around Weiss. She opened her hand and saw a single rose petal landing on her palm. She gave it a kiss before scattering it with the rest.
"Yes, I think it is a good idea."
Did she want Ruby as her Soulmate? could she make it work for the both of them? She honestly couldn't tell for now. But from what she saw for now. Ruby got what it takes to be a good leader and friend. And maybe even something more as soulmates.
Note: day 1 is set during the morning after 'shining Beacon pt2' and day 3 is set after the end of The 'Badge and The Burden, Pt.2'
