Weiss looked at Blake with horror. The raven haired girl is her best friend, the one person in her life that she tells her secrets to as well as her problems. Blake was to decide some sort of punishment for her and Rouvin now. Knowing Blake, this was going to be something big. She looks at Rouvin who in all fairness had no clue how Blake thinks. Blake was mysterious and introverted in some way, but she does have a very creative and imaginative mind from all the books she has read over the years. Books that have definitely given her a multitude of ideas.
"Hey, don't I get a say in this?" Jaune said, disrupting Weiss' thoughts. 'That's right! Jaune was paired with Blake that means they have to both agree first' she thinks to herself, a small glimmer of hope still alive in her soul.
"No offense Jaune, but your ideas sort of…lack excitement." Yang said.
"Yeah!" Nora added. "We need something fun, exciting and thrilling!"
"Great." Rouvin muttered. "And I thought I just had to worry about Yang." Weiss heard him say under his breath.
"Come on guys. I can think of something fun too." Jaune whined as he defended himself.
"Like what?" Nora asked, a smirk on her face.
Jaune stopped for a moment. He was definitely thinking now. Jaune was a great guy in his own way, he was hardworking and always tried his best in everything he does. He does sometimes complains about things, but otherwise still committed. He then nods at himself.
"How about jumping into the lake at night?" Weiss and Rouvin cringed, as the others just looked at him.
"Nah, too easy." Nora is quick to point out.
"Ahh…how about eating a ghost pepper?" Weiss paled and Rouvin had a poker face on him. Yang snickered and Nora smirked. Much to her horror, they seemed to like that idea.
"Sharing a room for the rest of the vacation?" Nora and Yang brighten at the last suggestion.
At her partner's suggestion, Blake got an idea. Weiss didn't like the slowly growing grin she has, it meant that whatever she came up with was sure to be embarrassing.
"You know Jaune sometimes your ideas aren't so bad."
Everyone looked at the black-haired girl with various looks of surprise.
"Really? I-I meant of course! My ideas are great after all." Jaune puffed his chest out as if he had won a tournament, and the others couldn't help but snicker.
"Rouvin is new in our little group, and we don't want him to feel like he's being left out. So as punishment for being last, Weiss and Rouvin have to be constantly together. You have to sleep in the same room, and can only be a maximum of 3 meters away from each other. That includes also sleeping, and any trips to the bathroom and toilet."
Weiss and Rouvin could only stare wide-eyed at Blake. Their mouths were open, and some people would say that they looked like a pair of goldfish in a bowl.
When Weiss snapped out of her shock her face turned red like a tomato at the mere thought being in the bathroom with the boy.
But it was Rouvin who voiced his complaints first.
"You can't be serious! What about privacy?! Does that mean anything to you?"
The others just laughed at their predicament and unaminously agreed to it.
Yang is of course the most vocal about it" Don't be a wimp! You just have to spend some time with Weiss Queen over there. You don't have to walk around naked or anything." Looking over to Weiss she just grinned wider "Look even Weiss isn't complaining and she does to nearly everything."
Rouvin turns to Weiss. "Weiss are you really okay with this?" he asked her, a hint of desperation in his voice.
Weiss was looking down at the floor, still red as she begins fidgeting. If she does this she'd spend most of her time with Rouvin, which was what she wanted. She'd get to know him better than the others without them getting suspicious. But this was a punishment, and the others would surely do something to embarrass them and tease them. Would she risk it?
"I…I don't mind," she said shyly. This made the rest of the group, except for Rouvin, to smirk. Weiss had never been shy. She would turn you down if she didn't like it and will argue with you afterwords. She then turns to Rouvin, who now was standing still, his face all but unreadable. Just when she was starting to worry, he sighed.
"I can't believe this…"
"Alright, now that it's settled," Nora said. "Who's moving into whose room tonight!?"
"Well, Weiss could, but with the amount Weiss brought with her, I don't think they'll get any sleep tonight," Blake said. Everyone nodded.
"Hey!" Weiss called out, her blush returning rapidly.
"When does this morbid punishment starts," Rouvin asked.
"Now," Blake answered. Rouvin sighs and nods.
"I'll get my stuff." He turns and stops looking at Weiss. "You coming? Or are we both just going to stand here?"
"Ahh..coming." Weiss then hurried forward to walk beside him.
Before they could get too far they heard Blake shout "Before I forget it, if you guys break the rules you will be punished by Yang." Yang had a devilish smile, and Rouvin and Weiss both shuddered at the thought at the humiliating punishments Yang was well known to give.
Making their way in the house, it didn't take long for Rouvin to grab his bag from his former room and to follow Weiss back to her's.
Entering the room, it was obvious that it was far larger than any of the others, and there was a good bit more decorations.
The walls were painted a light blue, with some family pictures on one wall, and a large portrait of the forever fall forest on another. There was a large heavy looking oak desk with a professional looking executive's chair, a huge walk in closet and a heavy four poster Queen-sized bed. It quickly became painfully obvious to both of them that they had to sleep in the same bed.
At the very thought of sharing a bed with the silver eyed boy, Weiss's cheeks got a bit pink. Rouvin on the other hand, didn't seem to care, he was looking around curiously and paid Weiss no attention.
Coughing slightly to draw his attention onto her, she quickly began to speak before she lost her nerve. "You can put your clothes in the closet, there should be more than enough space. The bathroom is right across from the closet, and the kitchen is downstairs."
"Good, I really need to take a shower and get changed, I really don't want to get sick."
Weiss stopped at hearing the words 'take a shower'. They are currently in a punishment game together and have to stay within 3 meters of each other's space. Rouvin wants to take a shower of course, it's normal since he go and swim in the lake earlier.
"Something wrong Weiss?" Rouvin asked.
"N-no…" she answered shaking her head. "It's just that…" she stopped for a moment. "I think it's best if you saw it yourself." Rouvin gave her a puzzled look before both of them headed to the bathroom.
"I know they said we have to be within 3 meters of each other, so you don't have to follow me to the bathroom you know."
"Yes, but Blake has a sixth sense that no one can understand. She'll find out and we both have to do what Yang says." Rouvin shivered at that.
Arriving at the bathroom Weiss opened it revealing a not so normal bathroom. It was as big as a normal person's house, with a bathtub that could possibly double as a hot spring, a shower big enough for four people, and of course a variety of toiletries that could rival a spa. In addition to the ridiculous bathroom was an angel statue placed in the middle of the hot springs sized bathtub. Rouvin stopped and stared before turning to Weiss, causing her to laugh awkwardly.
"Seriously?" he asked, one eyebrow arched in higher than the other.
"Yes." she answered simply.
"I don't suppose you have a divider lying around."
"We'll have to look around for that."
"Unbelievable," he said as he facepalms. "Can't your parents have a normal bathroom?"
"Well it's not like you can talk yourself you know." Rouvin was about to argue when he remembered that one of the bathrooms in the Rose Mansion was also just as ridiculously big and just as ridiculously well appointed.
"Point taken."
And so they went on their small adventure to find a shower divider. They searched in all the closets, cabinets and in the small shed behind the house. After an hour of futilely searching, Weiss got the idea to ask Klein, who had to know if they had one.
On their way to the kitchen where Weiss assumed Klein would be, they passed the living room.
Everyone else was sitting on the couches in front of a huge screen that was more like a home movie theater. They were all focused on the movie they were watching, the Lion King. Weiss and Rouvin both stood back and watched quietly as Yang and Nora sat arm in arm on the love seat singing along to Hakuna Matata. Weiss smiled at the sight, and even Rouvin cracked a small grin as he watched his sister making a complete fool of herself. With a nudge, Weiss motioned to Rouvin to follow her onward.
As predicted they found Klein in the kitchen preparing drinks for everyone.
"Klein do you know if we have a divider for the shower somewhere?"
Klein looked up to Weiss a bit confused at the request. Thinking for a moment he started to shake his head. "I don't think so Miss Weiss, it was never needed."
Both Rouvin's and Weiss's faces fell at the answer.
"May I ask what it's needed for?"
Weiss started to blush again when she had to explain to her butler the punishment game.
"W-Well you see, we got last at the hunt, A-and now we have to stay within 3 meters from each other for the whole week." She fidgeted a bit more "A-and Rouvin wants to take a shower and well..."
Surprised and amused by this Klein just chuckled when he thought about a solution. "You could just turn around or wear a blindfold while he is in the shower."
Embarrassed they themselves didn't think about that, Weiss and Rouvin both blushed and went back upstairs.
Once back in the room, Rouvin digs through his bag, finding a sleeping mask he wears. He then turns to Weiss and hands it to her. "Here." he said. "You can use this." Weiss then takes the mask with a nod.
"Let's?" she asked shyly. Rouvin nodded and headed for the bathroom with Weiss in tow. Once they entered the bathroom, Weiss slipped the mask over her eyes and Rouvin lead her near the shower, but just far enough that she won't get wet.
"I'm going to strip now ok?" he said.
Weiss nodded with a blush across her face. She could hear his clothes hitting the floor and his foot steps on the wet floor. The next thing Weiss heard was the noise of the shower turning on. She sat there with her back facing Rouvin, her heart beating at the thought of the young heir naked right behind her.
"Weiss…" Rouvin called.
"Y-yes?"
"You asked me, what my plan is after high school. What about you?"
"I plan on taking over my family's company," she answered. "It's always been my dream to make a change in the world, even if it's just a small one."
Rouvin hummed. "I see…I'm guessing you have your whole life planned out huh."
"No…there's still so much I didn't expect but happened to me." Like meeting you she thought to herself. There was a pregnant pause between them. Only the running water of the shower could be heard.
Rouvin the turns off the shower. Again, there was a rustle of a cloth as Rouvin dried himself off. She then heard footsteps approaching her and a moment later, she felt a shadow over her.
"You're good." he said. "You can take off the blindfold now." Weiss nodded and removed the mask. What greeted her was something she would never forget. Rouvin was standing there a towel in hand drying his hair, in his boxer shorts and nothing more.
It was just like in those romantic comedies she liked to watch.
Composing herself, she stood up and followed him back to their room. Rouvin put on a shirt and some baggy pants before they went to the others.
Weiss could smell their dinner and saw that Ren was about to set the table while Klein finished cooking. The others were still watching their movie, Nora and Yang cheering Simba on as he fought Scar.
Weiss saw that the only place still available was an armchair. Looking over to Rouvin who noticed it too, she saw that he was already sitting there. This left her with no other choice but to sit on his lap.
After she found a comfortable position, Yang started to laugh. "Wow, you guys are really fast, already sitting on each other's lap!"
Blake also chuckled when she saw that Rouvin's hair was a bit wet. "Did you take a shower?"
Blushing Weiss just nodded "Rouvin took one because he was swimming earlier in the lake."
This caused Yang, Blake, and Nora to laugh harder.
"Seems like you got some eye candy" Yang ended her sentence with a wink.
Rouvin sighed at his sister's antics. "Stop teasing her Yang, she wore a sleeping mask."
Before anyone else could say something, Klein informed them that their dinner was finished.
At the sight of the meal, some stomachs started to growl and other started to drool.
On their plates were Steaks with a red wine sauce, mashed potatoes and vegetables. It was simple but smelled divine.
After dinner and much laughter, they returned to their room and prepared to go to bed.
Changing in her night-gown with her back turned to Rouvin, she heard how he took off his clothes.
"You can turn around, you know?" When she did, she saw that he again was just in his boxers.
They both stood in front of the bed in awkward silence.
Rouvin was the first one to speak. "So the bed is big enough, so we shouldn't bother each other."
If you don't mind, I'll take the wall side." Weiss replied, fighting hard to not blush.
"That's ok for me." Climbing in the bed Rouvin turned to the wall and just laid there under the blanket.
After a short moment of hesitation, Weiss turned out the light and climbed in as well. "Goodnight"
She heard a silent "night" but the room was otherwise silent.
She turned her back to Rouvin and tried to fall asleep, but her heart was pounding in her chest far too hard for it to be possible.
