Hello everyone! Ugh, six weeks have passed and the first round of school grades are over. But it's all good because I'm jamming to remixes of some songs from Persona 4 that were on the new Persona 4 Dancing All Night game. So far from watching one of my favorite streamers stream it, I love it so much that I just need to buy it. Anyways, this was a strange chapter to write so I hope you guys will still enjoy it. There's a song in this chapter and if you're wondering what it's called, it is "December" by Neck Deep.

Movie night went on for a long time… and it helped me forget the trouble of yesterday's events when we finished. During the movies we watched, Blake fell asleep first and Yang joined after, wrapping her arms around the faunus and snuggling against her which made me feel surprised at my sister. U-ummm… I hope Blake doesn't get angry at her for doing that. I thought. I sighed and realized the only ones left awake were me and my lover.

For some reason tonight, I wasn't tired and I noticed by her expression of interest in the movie that was playing, she wasn't going to fall asleep anytime soon. I leaned into her ear and whispered that the others were asleep. She turned herself to face me completely and sighed before grabbing the remote on the coffee table to my left and pausing the movie. "Do you want to head upstairs and rest?" she asked.

I sighed. "Weiss… we both know that we're wide awake and…" I gave her my puppy dog eyes, "I don't wanna sleep~!" I whined. My response was Weiss trying to keep me quiet.

"You're gonna wake them up." she scolded but I kept my eyes on her, making her sigh softly. "Fine, we won't go to bed… yet. But what do you want to do?" she asked.

"I don't know Weiss. I think we should-" I suddenly stopped, an idea popping into my head immediately.

"Should what Ruby?" Weiss asked but I stayed silent. "Ummm, Ruby? Hello~? Earth to Ruby."

The idea finally became clear to me. "Weiss, can we go to the studio?" I asked.

She gave me a confused look. "You want to go to the studio at a time like this?" she replied.

I nodded and smiled. "I've played guitar to you… but you never sang to me."

Her eyes widened but then she looked down, her surprised expression replaced with doubt. "I-I don't know Ruby; I haven't done that in a long time and I'm not sure if I can." she said softly.

Weiss… why is she doubt herself on her singing? I thought. It has been a while since she last sang. It was at a stadium in Atlus and thousands of people went to see her. Weiss was such a beautiful vocalist and she never failed to impress those that are musicians themselves. I begged my mom and dad to take me there on the day of the event and her singing made me go into a reverie of happiness, sadness, and hope. Now… she's with me, the same girl from that stadium a year ago and now she wasn't sure she could be that great again. I'm not letting you think less of yourself Weiss Schnee.

"You can do it Weiss… I'll sing with you if it will encourage you to try." I said, cupping her cheek with one of my hands and getting closer to her.

She blushed at my sudden move but smiled. "You dunce… fine, I'll do it. I'm glad that I won't be alone in the music process."

I giggled softly. "I wouldn't let you do that… unless it's a solo act, but I'll lend you my voice and guitar playing anytime."

Weiss pushed me away gently before getting up. "Then let's go to the studio." She lended me a hand and I took it, pulling me up and leading me to the studio.

A few minutes later...

"Are you ready Weiss?" I asked energetically, my guitar sitting on my lap in preparation to the song Weiss and I will be playing. "I'm totally ready whenever you are."

My white-haired princess had headphones on her ears still, playing music while in her hands was a white piece of paper that had written lyrics of a song on it. "Ruby, why didn't you just print out the lyrics sheet for this song, I'm not even sure if it's right!?" she exclaimed, pulling out one of the earbuds in her ears as she looked up at me.

I motioned for her to quiet down and sighed softly. "Well umm… you see, we don't have a printer and I realized the lyrics sheet I wrote was still in the bag I took with me when we ran away so why should I look the song lyrics up if I already have them?" I asked.

"But you didn't say anything about them being right or-"

I made a gesture for Weiss to calm down, which made her stop talking. "They're correct, I can assure you that. I wouldn't mess up a set of lyrics if I'm singing them or if someone else will be doing the singing for me."

She sighed and looked down. "Okay, I believe you. Sorry for doubting you like that."

I placed a hand on her shoulder and smiled. "Hey, it's alright. People do have those times of doubt to someone they know and even care about." I replied and chuckled.

Weiss looked back up at me and sighed. "You're too forgiving Ruby… but that makes you adorable to me."

I blushed and looked away. "I-I'm just a very nice person Weiss. There's no need to say that." I quickly said, which caused her to giggle.

"Alright, alright," she put down the piece of paper on the ground next to her seat and she smiled, "I'm ready when you are." she said.

I nodded and made sure that my guitar had the right tuning before starting with a series of single notes. a few seconds later, Weiss started her role in the song.

Stumbled around the block a thousand times
You missed every call that I had tried
So now I'm giving up
A heartbreak in mid-December
You don't give a fuck
You never remember me

Her voice was still the same angelic voice that I heard a year back. Tears threatened to spill from my eyes as she poured out the feelings this song conveyed but I kept myself from doing that, I had to play the music.

While you're pulling on his jeans
Getting lost in the big city
I was looking out our window
Watching all the cars go
Wondering if I'll see Chicago
Or a sunset on the west coast
Or will I die in the cold
Feeling blue and alone

I wonder if you'll ever hear this song on your stereo

I prepared myself for one of the best parts of the song… because I knew that I wouldn't be able to handle it with Weiss behind vocals.

I hope you get your ball room floor
Your perfect house with rose red doors
I'm the last thing you'd remember
It's been a long lonely December
I wish I'd known that less is more
But I was passed out on the floor
That's the last thing I remember
It's been a long lonely December

I couldn't but think about her amazing her voice was, and now that I got to hear it here in person, I never want to lose it.

Cast me aside to show yourself in a better light
I came out grieving, barely breathing and you came out alright
But I'm sure you'll take his hand
I hope he's better than I ever could have been
My mistakes were not intentions this is a list of my confessions I couldn't say

Weiss looked at me as I played and noticed just how focused I was to not mess up my role as the guitarist. So far in the song, I made sure that I didn't screw up, for I think that I will lose the privilege to have Weiss sing for me again. She turned back towards the glass window despite nobody being there and she closed her eyes again.

Pain is never permanent but tonight it's killing me
I hope you get your ball room floor
Your perfect house with rose red doors
I'm the last thing you'd remember
It's been a long lonely December
I wish I'd known that less is more
But I was passed out on the floor
That's the last thing I remember
It's been a long lonely December

Weiss and I agreed that in this portion of the song, we would take turns singing this verse since it repeated once. I wanted to take the repeated portion since I didn't want to stress her out and I felt like I would be more fit for it than her.

I miss your face
You're in my head
There's so many things that I should have said
A year of suffering, a lesson learned

Now it's my turn to sing. I took a deep breath and sang my heart out. All of the stress and loss of hope for the future I thought of hours earlier were gone

I miss your face!
You're in my head!
There's so many things that I should have said!
A year of suffering, a lesson learned~!

From there on out, we sang together… the finale of the song.

I hope you get your ball room floor
Your perfect house with rose red doors
I'm the last thing you'd remember
It's been a long lonely December
I wish I'd known that less is more
(I miss you, but I wish you're well)
But I was passed out on the floor
(I miss you, but I wish you're well)
That's the last thing I remember
(I miss you, I miss you)
It's been a long lonely December

There was a long period of silence after we finished. I held Roseline in one hand and stood up, breaking the quiet atmosphere. "That was really nice Weiss. Your voice was so beautiful." I said softly but Weiss stayed silent. I grew confused and sat my guitar down with the upper part of it leaning against the wall so it wouldn't fall. "U-umm… Weiss?" I called but she still didn't respond.

She looked up at me suddenly and smiled. "You did great too. I'm glad that I sang this song with you." Weiss said softly and got up, walking out of the recording booth and exiting the studio.

"Weiss! Wait!" I shouted and picked up Roseline. I ran out of the recording booth and placed my guitar on the wall hanger before leaving the studio, turning off the lights as I closed the door.

Not far from me, I saw Weiss open the door to our bedroom and enter before closing it. What's going on? I need to know what's wrong. I thought and made my way to the door, quickly entering our bedroom and closing the door but I noticed she wasn't here. "Weiss?" I called softly. No response.

I slowly scanned the room as I walked closer to the center of the room but I still didn't see her. Maybe you should have turned on the lights you idiot. You're not a faunus. I kicked myself mentally and turned around to head for the light switch but I was suddenly tackled onto the bed by none other than Weiss. She immediately kissed my lips and I melted into the kiss instantly. Was this the reason why she left the studio without me? There was so many thoughts that ran through my head but one of those thoughts reached me. I want her so much… and she has me here, pinned onto the bed with her kissing me.

Weiss pulled herself away from me slowly but her hands kept me from moving. "I love you so much Ruby." she said softly.

I smiled and replied in a soft tone. "I love you too… Weiss."

After finishing my sentence, the actions and choices we made will make this night become one to remember for the rest of our lives.

So… ummm… that was a thing. You can assume that there may be some lemon in this story but don't be too sure. *sigh* Anyways, I'm back after a long leave of absence and I can say it's because of school. Dealing with three projects at once can be a pain in the ass and not give any time to write.
I actually enjoyed writing this chapter because I never wrote a chapter that was just so… filled with romance if I can call it that. But thank you for being patient, I wish I had time to actually write an update to keep you guys in check with what's going on in my life but I've been very busy. I apologize for that. Anyways, if you guys want to know what's been happening in my life (it'll take too long to explain and I don't want another person to review with words like "this isn't your personal blog", which happened on The Snowy Rose), come down to my Twitch stream tonight at 7 PM CST (Link is in my profile bio). I'll be happy to answer questions from you guys and to those that do, I'll be hinting some things about my next work. Here's the first, major hint. It may be a Monochrome fic.
