*Robotic Whir* Hello there. This is; CHAPTER 63, I hope you appreciate it. This author cannot think of a greeting, and is currently out. As his replacement, I shall do my best to entertain you with maximum efficiency.
"Yo, we're goin to be out for a while. You two wanna come with?"
"That's up to Ruby." Weiss responded.
"Nah, not today Yang." The redhead in question answered.
"Ok then, See you guys later then."
With that, Yang followed Blake out the door, leaving Ruby and Weiss alone.
"Hey Weiss, can we talk?"
"Sure Ruby, whats wrong?" The heiress asked.
"Nothings wrong. I just want to talk about some- never mind. It's nothing important." Ruby replied halfheartedly.
"Ruby, I know that face. Your kind of smiling, but it's not a real smile. And if you brought it up it's obviously important. So, what's wrong? You know you can talk about anything bothering you." Weiss replied, sitting next to Ruby on their bed.
The younger girl scooted closer to the older, holding onto Weiss' left arm and leaning on her.
"Well, I-"
The beeping of Ruby's scroll interrupted her.
"Oh, JNPR wanted to see if we were free. Well we're not really doing anything so I'll tell them-"
Again Ruby was interrupted, this time by Weiss taking her scroll and locking their door.
"W-Weiss, what are you-"
"We're not going anywhere until we sort out your problems. I don't like seeing you distressed, so please, let me help you."
Ruby, now rejoined by Weiss on their bed, leaned into her wife once more.
"Can... Can we lay down for a bit?" The young huntress asked.
"Of course Ruby."
There was a silence forming over the scene. It was dark out now, the lights had been turned off and the only movement was the small motions of the two girls laying against each other.
"Do you feel any better?"
"A little..." Ruby said, answering Weiss' question.
"So, what's wrong Ruby?"
"I... I don't really know. I just feel so, drained. I don't want to do anything, and I just feel... Tired, that's it. Just tired."
The silver eyes that belonged to Ruby, began tearing up as she squeezed Weiss closer. She then closed them as she buried her face in the crook of her love's neck.
"I've never felt like this. I've felt sad before, but this is different. Is something wrong with me, Weiss?"
"Of course not! You're amazing, Ruby! No matter what, you are perfect, so don't forget that. You've been doing more work lately, haven't you?" Weiss asked as she slowly pet Ruby's hair and traced small circles on her back.
"W-well, I have been practicing more. And I've had alot of tests and projects to do, and I haven't even had time to just sit with you recently..." The small redhead replied.
"Well, I think I know what's going on now. You're probably overworking yourself." Weiss stated.
"Yeah, that's probably it..."
"But, I also think you are a little depressed. You haven't been able to spend that much time with me, plus you have had more work to do AND I bet you've been doubting your own work, haven't you?" The heiress asked, letting Ruby squeeze her tighter.
"Y-yeah but, how did you know? It could be anything really, so how do you know that's it?" Ruby questioned.
"Well, remember how I told you I had my own issues before Beacon? Well, I could tell that my depression was getting worse every time my work declined. I'd be reminded of it each time, and that only made my condition worse. Not feeling anything but depression, no will to get anything done, feeling alone and isolated. It's something I know too well for my liking..." Weiss trailed off.
Ruby brought her head up to Weiss', looking into those ice blue eyes with her own. She saw a little pain in them, but there was more love, especially when they brought their lips together for a short, but passionate kiss.
"Just remember, Ruby. I'll always be here for you."
"Boom! whats that sound? Oh, it's me winning!"
"Okay, you've won 15 times in a row, can you please explain the controls now?" Weiss asked, confusion showing on her face.
The heiress in question had agreed to play Ruby's game with her, to take her mind off everything, even though she knew nothing about it.
"Alright, you press this button to... lose cause I just started again!" Ruby exclaimed as the next round started.
"I'm getting the hang of this now, so you'd better watch it!" Weiss responded while she started fighting back with her own character.
"I shall not allow this!"
Even with her best attempts, Weiss couldn't beat Ruby's experience.
"I told you, ya can't beat me Weiss!"
"Yeah yeah, you beat me. Just you wait though, I'll learn how to play more, and I'll get you yet."
Weiss' "warning" was met with a hmph! as Ruby turned her head away. The white haired heiress took this time to pounce on the younger girl, pushing her down onto their bed.
"You may be good at the game, but you made the mistake of taking your eyes off me. So now I'll take advantage of that." Weiss stated while she pinned Ruby's arms above her head.
Ruby was about to yell at herself internally, when she realized Weiss was kissing her. The young redhead's thoughts weren't allowed to wander, as her loving wife moved lower, to her neck. The soft - then slightly rough kisses Weiss left on nearly every inch of Ruby's neck made her squirm with each touch.
"Since you got so full of yourself before, I'll have to break out the big guns on you this time. Prepare yourself!"
Ruby was ready for the worst, not knowing what to expect. Maybe Weiss would start taking her clothes off her, maybe she'd make her read textbooks for hours on end. There were many things she knew Weiss could do to her.
But she didn't do any of those.
"hahahahehee! Haaaah! S-stop! N-no more, Weiss! Please, anything but thaaaaat!"
Weiss pretended not to hear Ruby's pleas as she continued her merciless tickling on the younger girls sides. She knew that if any place on Ruby was vulnerable, it would be her sides.
"Well, I guess that will teach you, huh Ruby?" Weiss asked after minutes of torturing her leader with tickling.
"Huff huff W... Weiss... L... Let me catch... m-my breath..." Ruby said taking ragged breaths.
"Alright, I suppose I've punished you enough for now..."
After a few moments, Ruby did catch her breath, and resolved to hugging closer to Weiss as they laid on their bed. The two spent a good few moments like that, as they closed any gap between them.
"Hey Weiss."
"Yes Ruby?"
"Thanks for doing all that with me. I know you wanted to take my mind off things, so thank you for spending the time with me. Things are really tough right now, so it's nice to just not think about it." Ruby said, as she stared into the ice blue globes in front of her.
"I know how you feel, Ruby. But don't worry, I'm always here with you. And I don't care if you get sick of me, I'm not letting you go through it alone." Weiss replied, returning Ruby's stare.
"You know I'd never get sick you you Weiss."
"Yeah, I know."
