RWBY: Red Snowflakes

by TheDarkenedRose

They ran as fast as they could, away from their old lives... away from the people that would never approve of their relationship. "Together. Forever." They said to each other softly. As they ran, snow had combined with the red leaves of fall and the falling petals of roses that were flying with the wind. Those two people were Weiss Schnee and Ruby Rose. This is their story of love.

10. Chapter 10: Roses and Houses

Hey guys! Alright, alright, I have my reason for not releasing this chapter early after I promised that I would start releasing quicker. I mentioned making a YouTube Channel for RWBY fanfiction and it ended up being a channel of that but instead, I'm narrating stories that are suggested to me by you guys! The first video is up and it'll be on the story, A Beacon of Hope in a Castle of Ice. Anyways, here is Chapter 10…

"Are they done yet?!" I shouted in the direction of the kitchen.

I heard a sigh. "Just a few more minutes, Ruby!" Weiss replied in an annoyed tone.

I was impatient, and wanting to know how delicious my girlfriend's cookies were made that feeling grow with every second. "Can't you speed up?" I demanded.

Weiss walked out of the kitchen and sighed. "Take it easy on me, okay? I know you have a sweet tooth but things take time." she replied in a soft tone.

I realized what I was doing. God I hate my sweet tooth sometimes, I thought with a sigh. "S-sorry, Weiss… I didn't mean to sound so demanding. Sometimes I just forget who I'm talking to when I want some sweets." I couldn't help but giggle at my statement. "I tend to forget who I am when I'm chowing down on some candy or cookies… and I want to know how your cookies taste." I said, the last part I muttered under my breath.

"What was that?" she asked.

I blushed for no reason. Why am I so nervous to tell her? "I really, really want to know how your cookies taste like." I finally said after minutes had passed.

Weiss smiled. "Well you have to let me take my time; the wait will be worth it."

I nodded and she went back to the kitchen. I sighed and hit myself with the palm of my hand. Way to be so rough, Ruby, and just for cookies too. I yawned and stretched. "Man… I feel tired." I thought aloud.

"Why don't you take a nap?" Weiss asked.

"But you said a few more minutes; that isn't enough for a nap to me."

"I'll wake you up when they're ready. Rest a bit."

"Okay, since you told me to." I leant down on the table, crossed my arms, placed them on the table and rested my head on the shiny ebony wood dining table, the only piece of furniture that didn't make sense in this whole suite. I looked to my left at the fireplace and closed my eyes slowly. Silence and darkness welcomed me as I went into a light nap, waiting for the white-haired heiress to wake me when she was done. I thought about some things as I waited: one of them being the fact that we need to look for a house before the week is up. Weiss had told the receptionist at the lobby that we'd be here for a week and I'm guessing that she had forgotten about it.

I felt a light tap on my shoulder and the soft voice of my girlfriend. "Ruby… the cookies are ready, wake up."

I opened my eyes tiredly and yawned. I could only think of the house. "Hey, Weiss… when are we going to move into a house?" I asked.

Her eyes widened. I was right after all. "We need to start house hunting, we only have three days here and I need time to at least get the paperwork done before we move into one."

I smiled. "Well… we should get Yang and Blake to sit with us so we all have a say to which house we want." Weiss sighed. "Something wrong?" I asked.

"It's nothing… well, I don't know if we should let Yang have a say in it."

I couldn't help but sigh. "Don't worry, Weiss. She's more than you think she is."

"A big buffoon that cares too much about her hair?"
"Well… not completely untrue but she does care about other things and if it's a serious decision like this, then she'll take things seriously; we are talking about buying a house after all."

Weiss still looked troubled about it. "Are you sure?"

I gave her a serious look. "I'm absolutely sure."

She nodded and stood up. "Well I'll get the others; you enjoy your cookies."

I looked at the plate of cookies in front of me and looked back up at her icy blue eyes with a smile. "I'll make sure to save you one," I said and began eating.

I could see from the corner of my left eye that she gave me an angelic smile and walked away. It's what partners would do right? I stopped eating for a moment. "Partners," I said quietly to no one in particular and chuckled, "that sounds like a great title for the both of us." I went back to devouring the cookies with that thought in mind until my partner arrived with my sister and Blake in tow.

I left a cookie just like I said for her and she smiled. "Thanks." She took it and and began munching on it. You're welcome… even though that took a great deal of suffering to not eat it. I thought and sighed.

Yang and Blake sat on the opposite sides of the table while Weiss sat down next to me on my right. "Alright, so what's this really important thing you wanted to discuss with us all Weiss?" my blonde sister asked. I could tell she was still trying to wake up fully; parts of her golden hair still stuck out in some places.

Weiss cleared her throat after finishing the cookie and took a deep breath, exhaling slowly before giving a calm look at the two of them. "Well… we have three days left before we have to check out of here and I realized that we have yet to begin looking for a home for us four to live in."

Just as I expected of Yang, she began acting serious. "What's the budget that we'll spend for a home?" Blake asked.

Weiss thought for a moment. "I think about seven-hundred thousand lien."

We all looked at her with our eyes widened… well except for Blake. "S-s-s-seven hundred t-thousand?!" Yang and I exclaimed.

My white-haired girlfriend looked at us in confusion. "Is there something wrong about that number?" she asked.

We both shook our heads quickly. "N-no, it's just that… that's a crazy number." I said with a shocked tone.

"What? How much did your house cost?"

I looked at Yang, wanting her to answer the question since I didn't know how much it did cost. "Well um… maybe about a hundred and fifty thousand lien?" Yang said.

"Wow… now I can see why it's a high number for you two. What about you, Blake, how much did-" I stopped Weiss by placing my hand on her shoulder.

She turned to me and I shook my head.

Blake spoke up. "It's alright, Ruby… I don't mind getting people to know me… even though most of it is personal anyways." I gave her a worried look but she replied with a smile and turned to Weiss. "Well… I had a poor life so my family and I resided in a eighty thousand lien home… it seems like a low amount for a normal sized house, I mean it was almost as big as Ruby and Yang's home but that was because it was a house that no one ever wanted."

"Did it have any problems?" Weiss asked, curious to know more by the sound of her voice.

"There was leaks from the ceiling when it rained, the bathroom had problems with getting water into the shower and the toilet as well," she scratched her head and sighed. "There was a serious bug problem that had to be taken care of a week after we settled in… I still think I have fleas sometimes, even though I made sure that I had none at all."

Yang gasped. "I forgot you had that bug problem, no wonder you took forever in the shower this morning!"

Blake sighed. "What other reason do I have for taking a long shower this morning, Yang?"

"Well um… I don't know." she said.

I looked at the time; it was already four in the afternoon. I spoke up in an attempt to hurry things along. "Anyways, Weiss and I were thinking of buying a nice house and when I wanted you two to jump on board… well I wanted to make sure that we all had a say in which house to choose."

Blake smiled. "That's nice of you, Ruby." she said in a motherly tone.

I blushed and looked away. "I-I just wanted to make sure that everything was fair y'know?"

Yang laughed. "She's just thanking you, Ruby. There's no need to get all embarrassed."

I turned back and snapped. "I am not embarrassed!"

This only made her laugh harder. Weiss cracked a smile. My sister replied in a sarcastic voice. "Alright, whatever you say, Rubes." So much for trying to waste less time… I just hope we don't miss dinner time.

Weiss eventually got us back to focusing on the house subject but I wondered about something. "Are we looking up houses or did you choose some?" I asked.

Weiss bent down and a few seconds later, she had a bag on the table. Why haven't I noticed that bag? I asked myself mentally. "That's why I at least brought another piece of technology other than just my scroll." I raised a brow but I realized that she was just talking about a laptop. It was a slim, white laptop with the logo of the Schnee Dust Company on the front of the top panel. I've never seen a laptop like that before. She lifted the lid and powered it on. "In case you're wondering, this isn't a normal laptop. It was made specially for my family and I, though it runs on the same OS as everyone else, there's special hardware inside the laptop that gives it the power of a supercomputer."

My eyes widened. "So you're saying that you have a supercomputer in a bag?" I asked with a shocked tone. "That's kinda overkill, don't you think?"

"Meh, I don't think so."

Yang sighed. "What you think is not overkill is overkill to us."

"Well… I am the heiress to the Schnee Dust Company… well, I used to be the heiress actually now that I think about it."

"Gee, what a bummer… now, let's pull up some houses close to our budget and-"

Weiss stopped her. "Why don't we say what we prefer in a house, oh and it needs to be somewhere nice and quiet… that's a way to start."

I smiled and spoke up. "Well… I like a house to smell like strawberries and cookies and-"

"Real preferences, Ruby." Blake said, which made me groan.

"Okay… well I like the house to have two stories because stairs are cool and it should be spacious so we can do some fun stuff."

"That sounds nice and dangerous… why does it sound dangerous to me?" Weiss asked.

Yang and I chuckled. "Because we'll be doing awesome activities?"

"Ah, well the last thing we need is to cause damages to the house we buy so no dangerous activities." Weiss said in a cold tone.

"Fine." I said, crossing my arms and sighing.

My sister took this as a transition to her turn to add some things. "Why don't we have a big backyard with a pool so in the summer we can swim in it and play games."

"That sounds awesome sis!" I exclaimed and we executed the world's worst high five, our hands not even making contact with each other.

"You idiots." I heard Weiss say while Blake laughed loudly. We both looked away in embarrassment. God that was stupid. "Alright, alright, calm down Blake and you two," we turned to look at her, "don't ever do that again."

We both laughed nervously. "We won't." Yang replied and sat down, sighing.

Blake cleared her throat. "Well, I guess it's my turn; Not much has been said about the interior of the house such as the color or amount of rooms but I would love a room that I can read my books in."

Yang gasped. "Why don't we share a room Blake?" she asked.

The cat faunus looked at Yang for a few seconds in silence and a grin appeared. "I don't mind that idea… as long as you be quiet when I want to read."

"Awesome… Ruby, you should share a room with Weiss too."

My eyes widened at the thought… well it did make sense since we are dating but I would love to have a room for other things. "Nice idea Yang."

"I don't mind that option." Weiss said.

I smiled at my white-haired girlfriend. "Of course you wouldn't mind; we're dating remember?"
She chuckled. "Of course I remember you dunce."

I giggled. "I'll make it an awesome room for us."

"You don't need to work on our room by yourself."

"I insist Weiss Schnee."

She blushed when I said her full name. "N-no need to be so formal with me Ruby." she said.

Yang spoke up. "You two are getting sidetracked."

I realized that she was right. "Oh, yeah… well um… I guess we could add another room for recreational stuff. It'll be cool if I can- oh crap!"

"What's wrong Ruby?" Weiss asked in a worried voice.

"How could I forget that?!" I exclaimed.

"Forget what Rubes?" Yang asked.

"You know, my guitar! Oh man how could I forget my baby Roseline… she's probably thinking that I abandoned her."

Weiss stared at me in shock. "You play the guitar?"

Oh… I never showed her my guitar at all. I thought and slammed the palm of my hand onto my forehead. "Yeah… sorry for not telling you that, it must have crossed my mind when we talked."

"Don't worry sis… we'll get it later." Yang said in a reassuring voice.

I shook my head. "Now that I think about it, I really need it right now so that I don't need to get it later when we move."

"But we can't just walk back to our old home and expect mom and dad to give it to you."

"Did I say I was going to just walk in the front door?" I asked. My sister stayed silent. "I am so glad that I live on the second floor, I can just sneak in through the window and grab Roseline."

Yang looked down. "I just… won't it be hard to get it? Sneaking in through the window seems too easy."

She did have a point but I can't just forget about my guitar and live on without it. "That's the only option I can think of… you can come along too so you can grab some stuff from your room… I'm thinking that you might need to take some things you think of as something special."

Weiss interrupted our planning. "I know you need your guitar and any other belonging that you forgot to take but we need to choose a house today… we can't wait any longer." We both turned to her and nodded, bringing our focus back to house hunting. "Okay… what about this?" She turned her laptop for us to see what she has suggested. "It has four rooms, all of them being on the second floor and two of the rooms are larger than your standard rec room so one of them can be a studio for Ruby's needs and the other can be for…"

"We can make that other room as a study or a gym?" Yang suggested.

"That makes sense… well we know what that room will be so we can decide on what type of rec room it'll be later."

"Can you give us more details about the house other than the bedrooms?" Blake asked, curiosity present in her voice.

Weiss cleared her throat and nodded. "The living room is pretty big so it can be a great place for watching movies."

"Oh, oh, we can put like a huge plasma screen tv there and hook speakers up to it so it looks totally legit!" Yang quickly said.

"That's another awesome idea!" I shouted. "I heard they have like these TV's called SmartTv's or," I gasped, "why not get a Ultra HD TV, that would be totally awesome to see!"

Weiss sighed and continued with the house details. "It has a huge backyard with a pool that's a couple of yards long."

"That's a pretty big pool… wait, don't you hate pools Blake?" Yang asked to the silent girl.

Blake glared at my sister. "Just because I'm a cat faunus does not make me afraid of water."

"Whoa, okay, sorry for asking."

"Alright, other than the pool, there is still a lot of space to do some activities, even activities that need a huge area."

"Nice… y'know it would have been nice if we had pictures to go on so we know it's true… it sounds awesome but where's the visuals?" I asked.

"Wait what, I thought it was going through photos of the place…" she turned the laptop back to her so she can see the screen and she sighed, "even though this is a nice hotel, the internet's still too slow for loading up pictures."

"Wouldn't you have noticed if it was slow since you had to load up the website?" Blake asked.

"Oh, w-well I was um…"

"You were too busy looking at my sister weren't you?" Yang asked.

Weiss blushed and turned away which made my cheeks flush pink. "N-no I wasn't!" Weiss snapped.

Yang turned the laptop back around. "So how much is it?" She scrolled the page until she saw six digits typed in a bold font. "Wow… it's six hundred and eighty-five thousand lien."

"Let's buy it!" I shouted, excitement filling inside me.

"Are you all sure?" Weiss asked as she turned back to face us.

We all nodded but I wanted to make sure everyone was agreeing. "What about you Weiss? Speaking of which, you didn't give a preference to anything relating to the interior of the house." I said.

She shook her head and replied in a soft voice. "I want to keep my preference as a secret… it's there but I don't want to say it… it also seems like a great place for us to stay in."

"Then that settles it… we're taking it." I said.

"Alright, I'll call the real estate agency that's selling the house… maybe I might get them to lower the price too." Weiss pulled out her scroll and dialed the number that was on the screen of her laptop into it. "I'm going to head to our room… it'll be better if I just do all the talking." She stood up and walked to our room, closing the door behind her.

"Well… looks like we got ourselves a house!" Yang shouted.

"We don't know that for sure Yang, let's just wait before we celebrate." Blake said.

"Fine… so Rubes, about the plan to get your guitar…"

"Oh, yeah… Roseline." I said. "Well… we can go and get it tonight?" I suggested.

Yang hummed softly for a while, thinking about it, then she snapped her fingers and smiled. "That sounds good."

"Alright… tonight, we head over to our home, sneak in, grab Roseline and any other stuff, then we get back here."

"Perfect."

"That settles it… now we wait."

Blake sighed and stood up. "Well, while we're waiting for Weiss and for your plan to commence, what do you all want for dinner?"

Holy shit… I went over 3,000 words on this chapter… awesome. Anyways, Roseline's sooooo going to be worth getting because it's awesome… well in my mind it is. I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter and I'm sorry again for making you all wait.
