It's been about 3 hours since Ruby has decided to start taking care of me, she's been bringing me food and has kept people out of the dorm, something that really bugged me was when Jaune came over to check up on me, after only a few words passed between them, Jaune had a mixture of understanding and disappointment in his face, apparently he knew what was going on and I didn't? Anyways, said mystery illness sadly seems to be getting worse with every passing minute, although I don't feel bad at all, quite the opposite in fact, I feel great, which makes this even stranger.

I hope Ruby doesn't get sick again because of me, she has been getting awfully close to me at certain times and I'm not sure if I can pass this sickness on by close contact. But on the brightside, my mood has definitely been improving, I suppose it was because I was with Ruby, as my partner and closest friend, it's quite natural for me to be happier in her presence.

Ruby also seemed to radiate a strange joyful aura, it would be quite difficult to not be happy when Ruby is in a cheerful mood, and currently, Ruby seemed to be in quite a great mood, she kept humming while working cheerily and her smile when she looks at me is bigger than I've ever seen, It makes me feel a bit light when she looks at me...

My mind was long gone from the conversation Ruby and Yang and Blake had last night, and their strange interactions this morning, instead I seemed to be more focused on Ruby, that and how my strange illness seemed to be fluctuating more and more rapidly when Ruby is around, I'm most certainly not stupid, Ruby somehow is affecting me, but how? It may be because she also experienced something similar earlier this month, or her semblance could be affecting me, but I've already ruled that out, and I've never heard anything about a disease that makes people sick after a few months of absence. No, this certainly isn't a disease, something else is going on here, something everyone isn't telling me, and I'm going to find out today.

First I'm going to have to figure out what's going on with me, as no one will tell me what's going on and judging from the fact that even Jaune knows what's going on with me, it should be safe to assume that what's wrong with me is common knowledge and I can find out with a bit of thorough research on my scroll. Then I should figure out why everyone was withholding that information from me. And finally, I have to figure how Ruby ties into all of this.

First I needed to get Ruby occupied, she was too distracting, I'm not saying that as a bad thing, there is just something about her that makes it hard to think, that and the fact that she might try to interfere with my research as she seems to be the reason why the other half of team RWBY won't tell me what's going on. The problem is how to distract her, her semblance makes it so any task she does is done in a fraction of its normal time, luckily I have already thought up a plan.

"Hey Ruby?"

"Yeah Weiss?" Ruby looks up from her homework and over to me from her desk, she recently moved it to be closer to my bed so she can be closer in case of an emergency from my "'illness."

"I've been feeling quite hungry lately, do you think you can get me some food?"

"Sure thing Weiss! Be back in a fla-"

"Wait!" I quickly grabbed her sleeves before she could fly off, "Can you bring me quite a few more things than usual? I'm feeling extra peckish, oh and can you bring them all in separate plates? The flavors might contrast if you bring a large variety of food."

"Um ok sure, I'll be back before you know it!" And with that, she zoomed off, leaving more white rose petals, knowing Ruby, she would attempt the fastest way possible in almost any task, so she would try to bring all the plates of food at once, this can either lead to her dropping all the plates and having her clean it up and try again, or she'll be going slowly, either way buys me some time for research but I'll still have to be quick.

I quickly jump out of bed and head for my dresser, I left my scroll on it earlier when Yang asked to talk to me and I haven't had a chance to get it back, I then head back to my bed and try to look like I haven't moved, if Ruby came back to me out of bed after she told me many times to rest, she would certainly not be happy. I quickly tap a few buttons on the screen and open up the search bar, at first I try the obvious, Net Ph.d, it's sort of an online way of finding out what disease you may have, I've already ruled out sickness but it wouldn't hurt to explore all channels of knowledge, I type in my symptoms, all that pops up are rare and deadly diseases that would kill someone in less than an hour, which obviously ruled that out as I have been like this for about a day.

Time to try a wider search, If I put the symptoms in the main search bar, it would include all the data the net has to offer, I put in all of the information and…

What is this? Articles about what to do if you're in love? Web pages about how to confront a crush? Pages about what to get you significant other for Valentine's Day? What is this nonsense! It makes no sense! Is this some kind of joke? But wait… it kind of does… I can feel something in the back of my head subconsciously connecting the dots, but why would no one tell me? 'Because you're a sheltered princess that overreacts to things, especially things as emotional as this.' Says a small voice in the back of my mind, deep down, It seems I know this is right, it's so bizarre, so...unheard of, how can I? Have...have a crush on someone? But it makes sense. And yet it doesn't, who though? Who has captured my attention like this?

'Ahh but that's a simple question' says the voice in my head 'who is the one person you react most to? Who is the one that is always there? The one that's been taking care of you, the one who is standing right in front of you' Wait a minute, what?

"Weiss! Weiss you're really starting to zone out a lot lately, it must be because of your illness I bet." Ruby was standing in front of me, waving her hand in front of my face to try and get my attention. Besides her, is a large pile of food, separated into about 6 or 7 plates.

"R-Ruby?" I ask with a shaking voice, I'm still coming to terms with my realization and I'm afraid I may be wrong.

"You don't look too good there Weiss, you seem to be shaking a bit. Just lie down and-"

"NO! I mean… wait...Ruby…" I tug her sleeve and make her sit down. "I...I need to ask you something."

Ruby sits down, a slightly nervous look in her face. "Ruby… why did you lie to me?"

"A-about what?"

"I'm not sick...am I?"

"Weiss…I-i'm really sorry," Ruby's voice started cracking slightly, I could see her eyes start to moisten a bit. "After you came back and told us what Oz said I thought you were going through what I was going through a few months and I thought if itookcareofyouthebyouwouldalsolikemethewayilikeyouandimreallyreallysorryaboutlyingtoyouandiunderstandifyoudontwanttobefriendsanymo-" Ruby started rambling and speaking faster and faster until I couldn't understand her, I stopped her by putting my finger up.

"Slow down Ruby."

"I'M SORRY!" Ruby's tears started to flow freely. "I-"

I quickly grabbed Ruby and pulled her into a hug, she started crying into my shoulder, it took quite a while before she stopped.

"Ruby… I'm not sure entirely how I feel… I'm not even sure if I'm right about this, but I do know that I like you a lot, more than normal friends…" Ruby looked up at me. Her smile slowly grew, "Y-you mean it?" She said, staring at me tentatively. I give her a small nod, that's all she seems to need as she throws herself at me, wrapping me in a particularly tight hug.

After what seems like days past, or maybe a few seconds, It was hard to tell, we both pulled away. Ruby was still crying, but these tears seemed different than before, they were tears of joy.

"Ruby...do you… do you want to go out with me?" Ruby nodded her head very quickly, bouncing up and down on the bed.

"Wait hold on, before we go on, when you went to see Ozpin a few months ago…"

Ruby smiled cheerily and said "Well that was when I fell for you of course!"

A/N: Welp that's another story done, I. tried to make this last chapter a bit longer but I don't have any time with school coming up, this also means I won't have as much time to write as I used to have. The next couple of fics are going to be oneshots, but I may work on a few series every now and then, especially during breaks. Also check out my new community I made, its called RWBY WhiteRose. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this and I'll see you guys in the next story.
