It was Sunday, the last day of their vacation, and they couldn't leave the house because of a storm. You would think that some deity was trying to stop them from leaving this peaceful and fun filled vacation behind, or that it was a bad omen for the upcoming future.
Or it was just a storm, but then it wouldn't be as interesting. Those were at least Weiss's thoughts while she and Rouvin sat in the living room with the others.
They were all huddled on the couches and love seats watching some Bruce Spills movie with, in her opinion at least, too much action and not enough plot. She would much rather watch some romantic comedy, but most of the others wanted to watch that. And with most of the others she meant Yang, Nora and Ren (because of Nora), Jaune and Pyrrha (because she agrees to everything he does).
Blake remained silent, and Rouvin was the only one who sided with Weiss, because apparently he isn't a fan of action movies either.
The only silver lining was that she had to sit on Rouvin's lap again, and if she leaned a bit more on his chest than before, none of them mentioned it.
Weiss leaned a little closer to him. Rouvin just turned to look at her and shrugged, then continued to watch the movie. Weiss couldn't help but smile. She shifted a little bit, and slowly she started to move to her side, her arm wrapped around his waist. She was now hugging him, she felt happy that he was comfortable with her now. Seconds later, she felt like something was off. She glanced up to him, and noticed his tense expression. He looked uncomfortable. Was it too sudden? She shifted back to her previous position and he relaxed a bit.
There was an awkward atmosphere between them now.
"Sorry…" Weiss whispered loud enough for him to hear.
"it's fine…" he replied. "I'm just…uncomfortable about it…no harm done.." Weiss nodded. They continued to watch the movie after.
Just when the movie ended, Blake stood and inserted a flash dive into the TV set.
Turning to the rest of them, she had an unusual smirk on her face as she looked straight at Weiss and Rouvin.
"So, this is the last day of our vacation and I hope you all remember that at the beginning two of us had to be punished." Everyone turned to look at the white and red duo "Their punishment was to constantly stay with each other and that they could be not more than 3 meter away from each other. And, if they couldn't fulfill that condition, they would be punished by Yang. And it should be said that some of us gave their best to separate them, but it seems they escaped the worst."
Both Weiss and Rouvin sighed in relief that this stupid punishment was finally over, but there was something about this that made Weiss more than suspicious. She had known Blake since they were children, and if there was one thing she could say about her, it was that she never did something without a reason. So why was she telling them all this? Looking at the USB drive Blake put into the TV set, she couldn't help but have a bad feeling.
"And to make this vacation more memorable, I took the liberty of filming everything."
That confuses Weiss more, so she voiced her thoughts. "Filmed? You never had a camera with you, so how did you film us?"
Blake's smirk just got a bit wider, if that was even possible. "With a bit of help from Klein along with some pre-installed cameras, as well as a drone."
And with those words Blake started her self-made film. Weiss could feel how Rouvin tensed up even more than before.
In the film were all of them to see, starting with the treasure hunt. You could tell that it was filmed with a flying drone from the constant overhead view. They watched as Nora tried to drag Pyrrha around, or Yang making some god-awful puns about the hints. Jaune apparently kissed the forest ground more than once, while Blake let him lead.
The next few scenes involved the baking incident, the interrogation, Weiss slipping and falling on to Rouvin. The incident with Weiss losing her bikini top that caused her to cling on to Rouvin while covering his eyes, as they made their way quickly back to the house. The game of twister where Weiss was faced up, her arms and legs occupied, while Rouvin hovering over her so close that a gentle push could actually make them kiss.
But the one that caused Rouvin to stiffen and changed his aura was a scene shown with Jaune sneaking inside their room. The camera was then redirected to the bed where they were still sleeping. Weiss blushed at what she saw, as she was cuddled up against Rouvin, using his chest as a pillow and her arms wrapped around him. Jaune then grabbed what seems to be a locket placed on the bed side table on Rouvin's side.
Rouvin shifted in real life and stood up, gently standing Weiss on her feet. Walking towards the TV set, he forcefully turned it off, then turns to Jaune as he glares daggers towards him. He held out his hand and said with a cold voice. "Give it back."
Looking in those silver eyes, the blonde boy started to shiver and he swore it just got several degrees colder. It was as if he was paralyzed and couldn't move under this gaze. Suddenly there was a loud bang pulling him out of his paralysis. Turning to his left, Jaune saw Rouvin's fist had collided with the wall and left a sizable hole there.
This time the dark-haired boy talked louder and looked to the rest in the room "Do you do this often? Inviting someone to something just to have something to laugh about?"
Yang was the first to react to his accusation and looked at her brother with confusion "What are you talking about? I don't understand what your problem is?" She flinched and immediately knew she said the wrong thing when his piercing gaze was directed at her.
Rouvin took a step closer to her with his fists clenched at his sides "My problem is that you and your friends think it's funny to invade my privacy and steal things that are clearly important to me."
Always the peacekeeper Pyrrha stood up and tried to calm down the angry young man. "We know it wasn't right to take the locket, but none of us knew of the cameras."
Unfortunately, her words had the opposite effect "There is a difference if you secretly film friends or someone you don't know. And the last time I checked, we were merely acquaintances. And a sorry doesn't change anything, if you made a bad decision than you have to face the consequences."
Still angry Rouvin turned to leave the room, with Weiss hot on his heels "Rouvin wait!" Ignoring Weiss, he grabbed his car keys and jacked and made his way to the front door.
"Rouvin! You can't seriously be thinking about leaving in this storm!" He stopped at the door and glared at her over his shoulder
"I have no interest in staying in this house anymore and be the laughing stock of your friends."
The rest of the group were all standing behind Weiss when he said those words, and were trying to stop him, but he just opened the door and left.
Not wanting to give up so easily they ran to the door, while Weiss following him in the rain. "ROUVIN!" She saw that he had pulled out his phone and was calling someone, but she was able to hear parts of what he was saying.
"Hey Cin…are you already home?...Is it ok if I come over?...Yes I know that there's a storm…please I need you…Thanks."
Weiss followed him to his car, and tried to stop it when he was pulling out of the driveway. Not caring how soaked she got from the rain she banged at his car window. "Rouvin Stop! Please!" When he looked at her, Weiss couldn't help but finally stop and watch while he drove away.
Standing there in the rain and getting soaked, all she could think about was the look in his eyes. She could see that he was clearly angry and hurt, but she could also see that he was sorry.
Startled out of thoughts by the hand on her shoulder, she saw Blake standing beside her. It was clear in her expression that she was sorry about the whole disaster. "We should probably get inside." The white-haired girl just nodded and made her way back.
Everyone headed back to the house, as Klein handed them towels to dry off as they slowly walked in. The silence was almost deafening between them all. Pyrrha was able to approach Weiss and hand her Rouvin's locket, which she takes and puts in her pocket. The rest of the evening, everyone just kept quiet, save Blake apologizing to Weiss several times. The silence was finally broken by Yang as everyone prepared to go to bed.
"Ahh…guys, I know this must be insensitive right now, but…" Yang said, "Who's going to give me a ride home?"
