Hello everyone and here is another chapter of Red Snowflakes. Y'know when I work on this, I seem to be more focused on it than anything… until someone calls for me in the house but I am seriously focused on it more than the other things I do. It's pretty funny since school has already started and that may cause some serious problems. Eh, what the hell, story time's just a better way to pass the time. Anyways enough blabbering, here's Chapter 16…
You're so not alright Ruby! What the heck are you doing?! Why did you lie to Weiss?! I screamed mentally. She can't know. She can't know that our time together was short lived. They'll know later of what Yang and I did when we were out and it'll make everything we did so far feel like a waste of time.
I hate myself so much. Even though what we did in ValeTech was good for the people that were there, the side-effects of our acts will cause us to lose the people we care about and make us go back to my old life. I don't want to be alone… I don't want to go back to the crappy days of living at home with mom and dad, but what the hell do I do?! There's no other way around this! Okay, okay, get it together Ruby. What's done is done. You should be more than glad you helped those people there. They may have seen your face but they don't know where you live and you could easily change yourself. I thought.
Sometimes, I'm glad that I think to myself or else I could have went insane a few years ago. I snapped out of my thinking when I heard shouting from what seemed to be downstairs. "Who wants to order some food?!" I realized that the shouting was coming from Yang as I traveled to the stairs. I mean no one but my sister would shout about food.
I walked downstairs and sighed softly. "What could we order?" I asked.
"I don't know… pizza?" Yang suggested.
Blake walked out of the kitchen and hummed for a moment before giving me a suggestion. "What about sushi?" she asked.
My sister moved herself on the couch to face Blake. "That can be good too. I haven't had sushi in a while."
They both turned to me and stared at me as if they were waiting for me to give another suggestion. "U-ummm… I…" I sighed, "I don't have anything."
Then I suddenly heard a voice behind me. "Why don't we just go out to eat instead of ordering something; I do know some great places we can-"
"Weren't we going to have a movie night tonight?" Blake asked, stopping Weiss.
"Yes but it doesn't seem like we might not be able to do it tonight, and plus it's barely seven in the evening. We have more than enough time to go out and eat."
I turned to Yang and noticed she was already giving me a worried look. We can't go out. There is no way we're heading out after the events of today. I thought and cleared my throat, getting Blake's attention along with my girlfriend's. "Maybe it's not a great idea to head out today."
"What? Why Ruby?" she asked.
"I-I mean… it's seven and I heard there's going to be a crazy amount of snowfall tonight so we shouldn't be out there with a risk of freezing to death." I replied and scratched the back of my head nervously.
"If that's the case, then going out isn't an option. We'll just order food then." Weiss sighed and took her scroll out. "What are we ordering?"
Two hours later…
The four of us lied down on the couches in the living room, filled with sushi that we ordered long ago. The experience with eating it was godly… and I would do anything to have more. During our wait, members of the SDC showed up and installed what Weiss called their 'supreme internet' to the house, ensuring that there was no dead zones and explaining to us what we could do with it. To put it simply, we could do anything without compromise.
There was another knock on the door after the SDC workers left. Yang got up and went to it and opened it and gasped, making the three of us turn to her. I realized that I had forgotten about Yang ordering a TV when a large box was rolled in by cart courteous of the delivery man… or boy.
"U-ummm… you must be Yin, correct?" he asked, giving the clipboard that had a form for Yang to sign.
Yang smiled and nodded. "Yep, this is Yin."
The guy looked nervous. From his looks, he was just a year older than her and was clearly blushing… something that Yang always expects when things get delivered to her. "I-I didn't expect to be delivering this to… s-someone as p-pretty as you." he said.
Yang definitely noticed he was going to explode with nervousness and tried to calm him down. "You don't need to be nervous… I mean geez, you look like you're about to lose it."
"S-sorry… I just get really nervous when it comes to people, specifically women." He took a deep breath and sighed before giving her a smile. "I was thinking you were the type to snap when someone makes a wrong move y'know? Plus, it looks like you can easily kill someone."
Blake tried to contain her laughter and Yang's eyes widened. "Do I really look like a person with a short fuse? I mean if you want someone like that, talk to ice queen over there." She pointed at Weiss and as if on cue, my girlfriend gasped at the accusation.
"I do not have a short temper you brute!" Weiss stopped and covered her mouth quickly.
"See what I mean? Anyways, here's the form and pen and have a great day." Yang said as she handed back the clipboard to him.
"I will… u-ummm… see ya." He put the television down on the floor along with a wall mount and tools to aid us in our installation.
Weiss huffed at Yang and I heard the door close, signaling the delivery man was gone.
"I swear Yang, you're the only reason why I have a short temper." she said.
My sister shrugged and chuckled. "It's true though, just about anything will piss you off."
"Ugh, whatever! Anyways, how did it get here so fast Yang?!" Weiss exclaimed, finally getting to the fact that the television had arrived on the same day it was ordered.
"Well umm… I did pay over two hundred lien for same-day shipping soooo-"
Blake widened her eyes and looked at her. "Two hundred?" the faunus asked, sounding shocked with a pinch of anger to it.
Yang took a step back and shook her head. "We have a lot of money Blake and I really wanted to make sure that movie night would happen. You and everyone else should be thanking me for being considerate… sheesh."
"Thank you? We should all be thanking Weiss for letting us use the money in the first place." Blake corrected, making Yang sigh softly.
"Thank me or Weiss but all that matters is that we can watch movies tonight just as we planned. Now, can someone help me get this mounted onto the wall?"
A couple of minutes later, Yang and I finished installing the TV to the wall mount with the help of Blake and reading the instructions. I sighed in relief and squeaked in excitement. "I can't wait to plug this in and watch some movies!" I shouted, bursting with joy at the thought of what awaits us.
Blake picked up the power cord and inserted it into the nearest outlet while the three of us sat down, Weiss sitting next to me while Yang sat at the couch on the other side of the coffee table. "At least we don't need popcorn after eating all that sushi. I mean I'm still full from it." Weiss said with a sigh of relief. "Plus, I'd rather not go out right now when it's almost late." Blake went through the process of setting up the TV for us with Weiss helping her input the code for the internet. Yang had gotten one of those kinds of televisions where it can support an internet connection and apps like Netflix which makes things a lot easier on our end to get our movie night up and running. In just a few minutes, we were ready.
"Alright, so what should we watch girls? I could go for some comedy right now." Yang said, earning a huff from Weiss. "What? There's some pretty good comedy movies out right now and I want to have a laugh. Do you have any better ideas for a movie we could watch?" she asked to the heiress.
"Well…" she blushed before continuing, "I could go for a romance movie."
"Nuh uh, that's not happening. Most of those movies are cheesy and… I'd rather not let Ruby see things that she hasn't seen and won't be seeing for a while."
I raised a brow at Yang. "Things I haven't seen? What do you mean sis?" I asked.
"I'll tell you when you're old enough. I'm alright with you knowing some bad language but I'm not going to further taint your mind with adult stuff." she said, her eyes suddenly shining red and making me look away.
Maybe it's best if I stop prying for information on that subject.
"S-so ummm… maybe we can watch an anime?" I suggested, making Blake turn to me with a smile.
"We could do something like that. I mean it's been some time since you and I have sat down and watched some of the good stuff." The black-haired girl said. "Plus I've found some animes you might be interested in-"
"Stop right there kitty cat!" Yang exclaimed, making Blake sigh.
"What is it Yang?" she asked, clearly annoyed at my sister's interruption.
"Have you been showing my sister some funny stuff?!"
For the first time in months, Blake's eyes widened in shock. "W-what?! Yang, I wouldn't do something like that to Ruby! Why would you suspect that?!" she exclaimed.
"Y-Yang? Funny stuff?" I asked, confused about what she was talking about.
"Okay, please stop saying things Yang before you end up saying something you don't mean to say." Blake said, trying to calm down my sister.
Yang raised her hands up. "I'll stop; you're totally right. I'd rather keep this night peaceful."
Weiss cleared her throat, getting our attention and she sighed. "So what will it be? Anime, comedy, or action? For one, I don't prefer that anime blasphemy… they just seem to oversexualize women."
"Awww c'mon Weiss, not every anime does that and Blake picks the best!" I argued.
"Uh huh, we'll see… IF we choose to go that path."
"Actually, now that I think about it, I want to see what the kitty cat will put on." Yang said, almost as if she were mumbling the words.
Weiss groaned. "Fine… we'll go watch your anime."
I hugged her and repeatedly pecked her cheek like I've gone mad with excitement. "Thank you, thank you, thank you~!"
She pushed me away and blushed. "Q-quit it you dolt!"
And so the night went on. Blake sat down on the couch and quickly browsed for what she wanted me to see. It was an anime based on a video game that had to do with a boy moving to a rural town named Inaba. He had cool looking grey hair and later on in the show, he got something known as a Persona and a lot of cool action happened along with some moments that gave me the feels.
Looking over to Weiss, I noticed that she was actually absorbed into the show, which surprised me by a ton. I never thought Weiss would ever like an anime. Blake chose right. I thought and smiled. I leaned my head onto her shoulder and she pulled me closer. "So… what do you think of it so far?" I asked softly, not wanting to be too loud to interrupt the others from watching.
She turned her head to me and sighed."I suppose it's… alright. It did have everything we suggested and a bit of romance on the side so that's good." she replied in the same tone.
"I'm glad it wasn't a waste of time to you." She smiled and I couldn't help but let out a quiet giggle. Tonight was a success… but what about today's events? How long until it shows itself to Weiss and Blake? How long until it breaks us apart forcefully?
Please leave a review you guys... it's been a while since a chapter has been uploaded.
I am so sorry. It took me a long time because I had to catch up on some summer work that I was NOT aware of before the Summer Break and it didn't let me have time to write but it's settled down and I can get back to putting out more content. This took two weeks to write and it was hard to keep it nice. Anyways, my two year anniversary of writing had passed and it's now been a year since I began writing this story so that's kind of nice… except for the year of writing this story. That's bad. I really want to write another story that I've been actually planning and I know you'll enjoy it. For now though, I'd rather not rush this story and see it through to it's end. Thank you to those that have stuck with me along the way and favorited and followed me… it means a lot and it always will as my third year goes on. :) As always… stay classy.
