Never did she know that spending the whole day at amity tower could be so exhausting. Added the fact that she had just spent an hour or so talking with Winter about how things were between them.
Utterly mentally and physically exhausted, she was just about to pop up her dorm door when suddenly, something had grabbed hold on to her and forcibly pulled in.
"Ow, watch what you're doing you dolt."
"Sorry Weiss." She watched as Ruby meekly pointed her two fingers together with a pout on her face.
Looking over to her other two family members proved to be a big mistake. Yang was the exact opposite of Ruby, standing in the far corner with the massive grin on her face. Blake was sitting on her bed, reading one of her many books she had managed to bring along but even though she may seem she is engaged in her novel. Weiss could sense that Blake was listening and was involved with something these two sisters had planned.
"Okay, what is going on?"
"Well...as a team...we have known that you have been spending more time with Jaune."
"So what, I admit that we can't deny our feelings for one another but, what's wrong with that?"
"What my dear sister is trying to say Ice Queen, is that we've only seen you do 'stuff' together whenever we're all grouped up." Coming to her sister's aid, Yang moved across the room until she was facing down on Weiss.
"Well our business is nothing for you to be concerned with."
"Let me finish Weiss, first off, every single one of us have agreed that you're very cute together." Bringing a hint of a small blush to their heiress. "As a family, alongside with team ORNJ, we have decided that instead of training. We will be spending our collective time arranging your first official date as a couple."
Weiss just froze on the spot completely, her eyes widened as a result. "W-Wha-"
"Come on Weiss, it'll be fun!" Ruby was in absolute glee in this outrageous idea. Ignoring how uncomfortable Weiss suddenly felt.
"Weiss? Are you okay?" Blake asked, picking up the cues from the awkward Schnee. That managed to stop Yang and Ruby from running in circles with each other, as they noticed that Weiss was almost on the verge of tears.
"I-It's...do you think he would want something l-like that w-with me, of all people." Sniffling with her nose, it took all the remaining strength to pull out that sentence together. Before she completely bursted into tears.
"Awww Weiss." Taking the girl in her embrace, Yang held her as she poured out her entire heart. The other girls followed suit and soon she felt the warmth of her family, coming together to comfort her. Holding her tight until the tears became sniffles.
"It's okay Weiss, we're here for you and I trust me. As your leader and partner I solely believe that Jaune would be happy to spend the evening alone with you."
"Yes, I agree with Ruby wholeheartedly with that statement. Jaune seems like the exact person who you have yearned for."
The three of them looked over to their final member of the team. Awaiting for her wise words of wisdom.
"Hey don't all look at me like that….Okay sheesh, if you want me to spell it out loud then fine. VB, I-I mean Jaune has grown okay. Sure he is still the dorky goofball we still all know and love but he has always cared for you Weiss and I know this for a fact. Sure but don't get me wrong, he can be dense at times but he's loyal, kind, caring and overall the best person you could have as a friend. There, happy now?"
"Very much so Miss Xiao Long." A smile appeared on her face as she took in all the words they have all said. Sure that she was a total nervous wreck when it came to personal details of their relationship but she knew deep down that she did indeed love the man he has become.
Meanwhile
"Say again Nora?" Surrounded by his teammates, Jaune had never felt so pressure as before. Then again he was currently dating the first girl he ever truly loved. The same girl who rejected his many proposals.
"I said." She paused for dramatic effect. "Yang had the brilliant suggestion of skipping our combined team training for something even more important. Getting our fearless leader all geek up for his first official date."
"Wait, Jaune and Weiss haven't been on a date yet?" The pure look of innocence on Oscar did not go unnoticed by everyone, as he was suddenly latched on by Nora.
"Why yes little Oscar, our leader spends too much private time with her. WHEN HE SHOULD'VE BEEN SPENDING IT WITH US!"
Jaune's ears were ringing from the outburst of annoyance that stem from that last sentence. Giving off a sheepish grin, he looked over to Ren. Hoping that the boy could steer this ship around before it charts off-course.
"Now, Jaune, I believe we must ask the most important question of tonight." Thank the Brothers that Ren was on his side of the argument. "Where in mind do you plan for your date with Weiss?" Of course he spoke too soon.
"Ooo I know, how about a live concert. That would surely make her fall over heels for you. Am I right guys?"
"Nora that is ridiculous, Atlas doesn't even offer concerts like that and besides, I don't think Weiss would be thrilled about that option."
"Y-Yeah what Ren said, I don't think Weiss would want to listen to that type of music."
"Mmmm you're right. Now what else does Atlas have to offer?" Leaving Nora to ponder away with her thoughts. The others all huddled around each other in a tight group formation.
"While we leave Nora to her devices." Looking over his shoulder to make sure that she didn't hear him, Jaune turned his attention back to the other boys. "If this is actually happening then we need to discuss clothing options here."
"Well, this is Weiss we're talking about; the girl who is always dressed formally for any occasion. Let's see here, since it's the first date. We need to ensure that Jaune is dressed, presented and smells nicely. Also we need to think about the colour scheme here…Do you have any idea Oscar?"
"Ummm, I don't sorry but I can always ask Ruby over in their dorm. Surely she would know what colour would suit the both of them." The sudden idea lit up the dark-skinned farmboy/wizard's face.
"An excellent idea Oscar, the girls would know better what to do."
"Wait wait just one second here. What do you mean the 'girls would know'. Is there something going on here?" It was starting to dawn on him that maybe, both teams might've had this idea planned out for quite some time.
"I got it!" The three of them all turned over to Nora who had the massive grin ever imagined on her face. "There is no way you could mess this up Jaune; our loveable dork of a leader. A dinner date is the ideal first date ever!"
"Mmmmm, she does have a point, the first date is always the hardest as you both want to ensure that nothing goes wrong. Plus that it's the safest option available for all of us. Alright Oscar, go and tell team RWBY about our idea and oh, don't forget to ask about colours."
Scurrying to his feet, rushed towards the door but not before giving a response of some kind. "I'm on it Ren."
"Hehehehe, it's time to play dress up. Get ready Jaune, you're in for a treat I dare say."
"What Nora no no no noooooo!" Specating from the sidelines, Ren shook his head in amusement as Jaune was subjected again to dress up with girls.
"So are you fine now Ice Queen?"
"Please don't call me that Yang."
Patting her back, Yang left her hand resting there. The girls had now shifted positions, Weiss and Yang sitting on her bed. Ruby was standing off to the side, nodding along to whenever Yang said anything meaningful and Blake had taken the only chair in the room.
"How do I prepare myself for this? To be honest, I had always longed for this day to finally come in fruition but it finally dawned on me that Jaune and I are so different...I'm afraid that I will somehow ruin what we have together."
"Awww Weiss, you're not going to ruin this. You want to know why? It's Jaune we're talking about remember, the boy who didn't give you up Beacon for quite some time." With a gleeful expression on her face, Ruby gave her a thumbs up.
"Thanks Ruby, maybe you're right." Wiping her eyes, the girls noticed that a small blush had appeared on her face.
Knock knock knock
Confused by who was at the door, Blake got up and opened up the door, to only be met with an Oscar.
"Oscar? What are you doing here?"
"Hi Blake, ummm, do you mind if I can come in?"
"Of course, hang on for one second." Moving out of his move, Blake allowed him to enter their dorm room. Once he entered, he was met with even more confused glares from Ruby, Yang and Weiss.
"Ummm hi, Ren sent me here." Clearing the air, he tried his best to not look awkward but failed miserably.
"What does Ren want? We're still trying to figure stuff with Weiss." Yang asked, even though both teams were respectively dealing with lovebird, it was still too early for a decision to be made.
"Oh about that, Nora managed to figure it out already. Ren sent me here to ask about umm, something about what colour Jaune should wear for tonight."
Silence engulfed the room, looking over to each girl. He was starting to get nervous at their baffled expression.
"Sorry Oscar, but did you just say Nora figured it out?" Breaking the ice, Weiss asked the most obvious question.
"Yeah, we left her to her own device and she did it. So about my questi-"
"Hang on farmboy. Your question can wait just one sec. I got to know, what did Nora come up with?" Getting up from the bed, Yang grabbed hold of the boy and yanked him towards her.
"Wha- Yang!"
"Ahhh Yang stop it!" Grabbing hold of the other side of Oscar, Ruby and Yang were engaged in a tug of war. Each side not letting up until they gained what they wanted.
Blake and Weiss both sigh as they watch this petty struggle between the two sisters.
"Yang let go of him."
"No, you let go."
"Ahhhh, someone please help me." Oscar pleaded, what turned out to be a simple mission, had turned into a complete disaster.
Yang, Ruby. I think Oscar has already had enough, now why don't you both let go of him." Oscar promised himself that he would make it up to Blake as both sisters finally released him from their grip. Said sisters were now sheepishly standing off on either side of him, casting their eyes anywhere but not him.
"So Oscar, back to your original question." Weiss asked with a chill in her voice. "What exactly do you mean about colours and Jaune for tonight?"
He never felt so pressure in his whole life as he could feel the bearing gazes of all four girls upon him. Gulping he continued on, despite his nervousness building up on him.
"W-Well you see, we weren't sure how Jaune should dress up nicely for tonight, so he sent me to ask Ruby what she thought Weiss might wear instead."
"Ahhhh!"
"Ruby no, you're playing dress up with me."
"B-But Weiss!"
"Yeah Weiss, it's fair if you only let Ruby have all the fun. I'll let you know, I'm the perfect person when it comes to stuff like this."
While the two sisters plus Weiss start to argue with each other over her choice of clothing. Oscar looked over to Blake who just shrugged her shoulders.
"Oooo I know, how about something red. That is a good choice."
"Ruby, red is your colour not mine. I can't imagine myself in red and besides, it doesn't go with my hair." An annoyed look on her face, Weiss crossed her arms against her chest at the ridiculous idea that came from her partner.
"Nah Rubaby, we need to think big here." Brushing off Ruby's idea with ease, Yang places a hand on her chin as she contemplates Weiss' figure. Growing self conscious of her body, she shielded her body to the side. Doing her best to hide her dignity.
"Ahhh Weiss, there is nothing to be afraid of." Coming closer to her, Yang offered a hand in support. Which Weiss took swiftly. "There is nothing to be afraid of, Jaune will still find you perfect no matter what."
"I know but, what if he doesn't. I mean, I know his semblance activated because of me but-"
"Nope."
"Nope?" Tilting her head to the side in confusion, Weiss was caught off guard by Ruby's comment.
"Hmmm, Jaune will still find you perfect no matter what. You know that he doesn't care for those sort of things Weiss. All he does care about is how you define yourself as a person."
"I agree with Ruby. Weiss, you need to trust yourself with this, Jaune isn't going to ditch you because of your looks. You already know what his true feelings are and he knows yours. This should be enough to satisfy your jitterbugs." Blake said, showing a smile towards the distressed snow pea.
"Thanks Blake and thank you Ruby for that."
"Hey! What about my thank you?" Yang questioned, wearing a fake look of shock on her face.
"Mmm, you're already enough trouble for all of us to handle."
Weiss took in the pleasure of watching Yang's face changed dramatically for a second before it reverted to her stupid grin. A grin that was enough for her to let loose a giggle.
"Oscar." Weiss said to the boy, who was making his way for the exit.
"Y-Yes Weiss?"
"Tell Jaune I'll be wearing a mix of white and blue for tonight." Giggling at how the boy reacted, Weiss found the whole situation rather amusing now she could think more clearly now.
"You got it Weiss, well I'll see you all later and also, it's going to be a dinner date." Giving a small wave Oscar exited the room and headed back to others. Now that he thought of it, he wondered how Jaune was fairing by himself.
"Nora wait!" Wrestling against Nora was never a good idea but at the moment, his whole life was at stake. Because the orange hair girl was trying her best to tie Jaune up so she could experiment with him. "Ahhh Ren, why aren't you helping!"
"Stay still Jaune, how am I supposed to ensure you look your best for tonight? Now sit still just for one minute."
"Once Nora gets like this, there is no stopping her Jaune."
"Oh great thanks guys, you're very helpful right now."
Opening the door to their dorm room, Oscar peeked his head around the corner to only be met with the strangest sight ever. "Hey guys, umm, what's happening here?"
"Oscar thank Brothers you're here, quick help me get Nora off of me now." Shouting from across the room with a tangled Nora in hand.
"Okay...I'm just going to sit this one out if you don't mind."
"What? Oscar! No please help."
"Ahahaha Jaune, gotcha!" Moving forward with her left foot, that caused Jaune to be off balance. Leaving him to be subjected to be the loser of the bout.
"Oscar, did you find out about the colours?" Rena asked, while sorting through their closet for anything pleasurable that Jaune could pull off.
"Yep, apparently Weiss is going to keep it simple and use blue and white." Nodding his head, he was completely ignorant to Jaune desperately calling out his name.
"Okay, Jaune. Let's see what we're dealing with. Mmmm, okay we need to style your hair, it looks good but we want to dress to impress here." Moving her hands around his body lifting up his arms and legs. She carefully studied the prime specimen in front of her, lost in her own train of thoughts.
"So, what do you think Nora? Should we go red and white or maybe yellow and red?"
"I dunno know Ren, Jaune keeps mixing colour and I can't tell what would suit him better, especially with his hair." With her hand rubbing the bottom of her chin, Nora stared into the depths of Jaune's soul. Making him very uncomfortable; like a spectral penetrating his body and leaving chills.
"Ummm, how yellow and white? It's the colour of Crocea Mors and maybe a hint of bronze somewhere as well to complete the look." Giving his opinion, he was not expecting for Nora to shout in excitement.
"Ahhh Oscar, you're a genius!"
"Ahhhhh." Suddenly finding himself in her tight vice like grip, Oscar was subjected to having to twirl around the room.
"An excellent idea Oscar, now what do we have in terms of white and yellow?" Ren mumbles to himself, digging in deeper through the clothes.
"Guys guys, it's okay alright. I already got some idea in mind for-"
"Nonsense. Now sit back and relax as team 'NRO' take over for you, oh fearless leader." Advancing on the bound boy, Nora was rubbing her hands together in excitement. Finally receiving the chance to play around with Jaune.
"Brothers kill me now please."
After two hours of preparation, Weiss was studying herself in the mirror. Yang and Ruby made the decision to let down her hair and have neatly combed it. Making it look flawless, no knots or looking messy. Holding it together at the front, Weiss had dorn a tiara. Her dress choice was fairly easy, a long overflowing dress that reached to the end of her ankles.
Starting with white from the bottom to all the way to her waist line, a blue stripe separated the two sections of the dress. From upwards, patterns of snowflakes littered around the dress, with a blue background and standing out in white. Her arms were a mix of blue and white running down to her hands. Evenly separated to show white on one and blue on the other.
Finishing off her looks, Blake had suggested a necklace of some thought that went well with her dress. Rummaging through her belongings, she managed to find an old necklace that Winter had given to her before she left for the military. Made of silver, in the middle of it, there held a gemstone made out of blue and white.
Smiling at how her sister would be proud of how she looked, well in her own way Weiss thought. Giggling at that ridiculous that thought was, she exited the bathroom. To where her awaiting teammates would be the judges of how she looked.
"My, my, my Weiss, I think we did a pretty good job if I do say so myself. Isn't that right Ruby."
Shaking her head in agreement, Ruby was at a total loss of words as Weiss seemed to look like a princess from a fairy tale.
"That necklace does suit you Weiss, it goes nicely with your dress and as well as your tiara." Smiling along, Blake was proud of how Weiss turned out to be in the end.
"Thank you for that guys." Never would she have thought that the girls in front of her, would've become a family to her. Touching the necklace and feeling the coldness of it, she played around with it, thinking of how she would really impress Jaune once he arrived.
"Alright ladies" Clapping her hands together, bringing Weiss out of her thoughts, Yang looked at each one of them with a hidden motive behind it. "Now that we've received the chance to admire Weiss firsthand. It's our sole responsibility to ensure that when Jaune arrives, that whatever he's wearing. They both compliment each other to a certain degree."
"Yeah!"
"We don't wait too long, because I can hear him coming down the hallway now." Cloying smiling as the increasing noise of footsteps echoed from outside the room. They all turned to the door with many different expressions.
Weiss was calm on the outside but inside, she was a nervous wreck. Ruby had stars in her eyes as she couldn't stop fidgeting around, Yang was leaning back on the bed ladder with a sly grin directed towards Weiss and Blake didn't show any emotions whatsoever but her ears were perked up.
The footsteps suddenly halted and were soon replaced with a hefty knock on the door.
"Come on Weiss, it's time to meet your prince charming." Shoving her towards the door, Yang was way too happy about all of this.
"Ahhhh, Yang wait." Subjected to the girl's strength, Weiss soon found herself in front of the door, the only barrier separating between her and Jaune. Taking in one deep breath, she slowly opened the door and was met with the most unexpected sight ever.
Standing out there, Jaune had a white suit with a light shade of yellow scattered across his arms. A yellow stripe similar to hers, separating his lower body from his upper body and finishing off his looks; a badge pinned to the right hand side of his body, depicting his family's insignia.
Her eyes traced upwards and she was impressed by how his short spiky hair was neatly combed and his face was clean shaved.
Jaune on the other hand was at a complete loss of words. The girl in front of him couldn't be associated with Weiss but he knew better. She was a literal princess brought out of a fairy tale and he couldn't help but to feel like the Brothers had granted him the most precious creation ever.
"Ahhhh Weiss you look so pretty!" Weiss was brought out of her trance as a wild Nora had appeared from behind him. Ren and Oscar were also quick on their heels, with a proud face.
"You look very nice Weiss, I hope you appreciate our efforts in how Jaune looks tonight." Ren said, brushing Jaune's shoulder for any uneveniness.
"Damn Jaune, looking very slick tonight. Very nice if I do say so myself." Nodding her head in approval, Yang was proud of team ORNJ's hard work. "Well the night is wasted if you're both going to stay here all night. Come on you two, have fun and remember to be back before midnight."
"Y-Yang! Stop it!" Stamping her foot down, she looked away from the group to hide her ever growing blush.
"Hehehe, so, ummm. Sure we get going Weiss?" Stretching out his hand, she took it eagerly and they both left the room with a cheer of triumph from the other members.
"I hate them you know."
"Sure you do, just like how you used to hate me." Chuckling at how his girlfriend was acting, he was amused at how easily she flustered she got.
"Hey!" Elbowing him in the ribs, she huffed and looked away from him. Annoyed at how he found this very amusing.
"Ahhh, it's okay Weiss. Tonight is about us now, let's not have them ruin our fun." He gently squeezed her hand, while cooing at the angry teenager.
Feeling the warmth that radiated from his hand, she blushed at the thought that they would be alone for the next few hours. Just the two of them enjoying what the night had in store for them. "Okay, lead the way my white knight."
Smiling, he took the lead and they soon found themselves outside of the academy. The cold air would've sent shivers down their spines but, they were both too focused on each other to even notice it. The night sky was illuminated with many bright stars, allowing her dress to shine out; thanks to her team's ingenious idea of implementing blue and white dust into it.
Amazed by how she glowed in the night sky, he was too shocked for words which she took as a compliment. Deciding that it was better to not say anything in case he said something stupid.
He took the lead and they found themselves heading down the main street, passing through many different stores along the way. All usually filled with rich people, dressed up for the occasion.
Now that he had the chance to gather his thoughts properly. He turned his head over to hers, he said. "Wow Weiss, you are stunning. You're like a literal princess."
She was glad that dress had the intended effect on him. Content with his reaction, she leaned in and planted a short kiss on his cheek Giggling when it was his turn to be flustered.
"So what have you got planned? Ruby told me that you had something planned for tonight." Fluttering her eyelids flirtatious, she moved his hand closer to her body. Letting their body come into contact with each other.
"Well thanks to Nora, we managed to find a nice restaurant. Fancy but not too expensive at the same time, saving me from wasting all my lien."
"But I could pay for whatever we want." Confused at how Jaune was frugal to his money as she could spare whatever expense they both wanted.
"No Weiss, it's not about that. It's more about…..It's more polite for us men to pay the bill, rather than having you waste your money."
Breaking off his grip, she stood in front of him. A hand on her waist and tapping her heels rapidly in annoyance. "You know I'm perfectly capable of handling whatever expenses I wish and I think that it's a rather stupid idea if you have to pay for both of our meals Jaune Arc."
"Hehehe, well it makes me seem more chivalrous, rather than the goofball I am."
Shaking her head in response, with a slight frown on her face. "You don't have anything to prove tonight, you want to know why? I fell in love with the goofball you are, the man who strives to protect the people around him and you're different from the past suitors who went after me for my name and money. You, Jaune Arc, are nothing like those pigs and that is why I love you."
Huffing heavily, she finally let go of her frustration of how he was striving to become someone else when the perfect man she wanted was standing right in front of her. Deep inside, she was secretly glad that she poured her heart to his ears alone. Because if the others found out about this, then they will stop teasing her for it. Especially Yang Xiao Long.
Taken back, she felt a set of lips brushed against hers. Stunned at first, she proceeded to deepen the kiss. Closing her eyes and letting her body do all the work. She felt connected to the boy she loves the most in all of Remnant.
"Mmmm, Weiss. Come on, let off. We can't spend the whole night just kissing. Mmmm."
"Mmmm, I don't see why not and I don't see you letting up either."
Gently pushing the girl away, they both grasp for air. Their eyes hungrily met each other but it took all their restraint to not continue where they left off.
"Let's eat first and then we can continue this later."
"Mmmmm, okay but you have to promise me later. On an Arc's word no less." Pointing to his chest, she gave a coy smile before latching onto his arm this time.
"I promise on an Arc's word. Weiss Schnee, that we will continue where we left off later." Grinning at her, he was lost in pleasure as the feeling of having Weiss locked onto his arm felt.
Walking for another ten minutes in total silence as Weiss was latched onto his arm. They finally arrived at Polar De Ice, where their dinner for the night awaited them.
Author Note: Whew this chapter took longer than I actually anticipated and yes you guess, this is in two parts. Originally one part but it felt like it would just drag on further. On that note hope you enjoy and leave a review for whatever reason.
Now back onto the grind.
