Chapter 17
A week later at the Schnee mansion, Rouvin slowly opens his eyes and sighs at the familiar arms wrapped around his torso. Weiss had snuck in last night, again.
"Weiss..." The only response he got was a tired groan mixed with something sounding like a moan coloring his cheeks a healthy pink.
Trying to escape from his girlfriend's surprisingly strong embrace leads only to her making it stronger, leaving him no choice but to turn around.
Bad idea.
Weiss has pulled him so close they were practically fused, letting him feel some suspiciously wet spots on her side of their shared bed. With every movement he makes, Weiss moans softly as she grips him tighter. Sometimes he could hear his name "Rouvin…" which has his own body's reactions following, in other words his boxers could now be considered a circus tent.
Shaking her again, but this time stronger, he calls her name louder. "Weiss! Wake up." No reaction.
"Weiss you're late for school!" This did the trick. Her eyes flew open faster than he has ever seen. She practically throws herself out of the bed and rushes to the closet, only to see that none of her clothes were there.
Seeing her face, Rouvin can't help but laugh, forgetting what happened only a moment before.
Turning around, Weiss seemed to finally remember that she isn't in her room. And as soon as she sees Rouvin's laughing face, she starts remembering some rather vivid details from her latest dream, turning her head into the same color as a tomato, and threatening to burst in her embarrassment. The wet spot between her legs was only making this even more uncomfortable.
"Stop laughing!" There is only so much she can bear so early in the morning. Rouvin's laughter slowly comes to a stop.
"Sorry...sorry, I just didn't thought you'd react so fast. You should have seen your face!"
Still embarrassed Weiss stomps to the bed. "You scared me! How else was I supposed to react?" She declares, emphasizing it with a pout and crossed arms.
Rouvin just gives her a soft smile "Well if you hadn't snuck in my bed again and held me prisoner with those freakishly strong arms of yours, than I wouldn't have to wake you up like that."
"I wouldn't have the need to sneak in if you would just agreed to stay in my room." Weiss huffs as she sits on the edge of the bed. Rouvin sits up and wraps his arms around her.
"You know why I can't do that." Rouvin answers, causing Weiss's pout to worsen. "I don't want to get into your personal space too much."
"I don't mind." Weiss replies as turns to face him. "I want you there." She continues as she wraps her arms around his neck.
"You know, I think you enjoyed your dream last night." Rouvin teases her gently as he pulls her closer.
"Why would you say that?" Weiss blushes as she stares into his silver eyes.
Rouvin leans forward. "Because it sounds like you want to...do...it." He responds before pressing his lips onto hers, Weiss moaning as she returns the kiss eagerly. Pressing their bodies even closer and not wanting to separate, Weiss starts to feel something between them. Something hard. Weiss starts to run her hands down Rouvin's back, circling around to his toned stomach. Running her fingers lightly around, she could feel his defined abs. She continues to run down until she brushes something, causing Rouvin to flinch and shiver before breaking the kiss, much to Weiss' disappointment. "Weiss..."
"Rouvin..."
"Weiss, y-your hand." Rouvin said blushing. Weiss blinks in confusion at first, before following where her hand was, she blushes as she realizes that her hand is resting right on Rouvin's crotch. Both teens suddenly look at each other red faced, only to have Klein walk in on them.
"Miss Schnee bre- Oh...My apologizes." Klein said as he turns and leaves, closing the door behind him.
Both teens just sit there, still frozen and looking each other in the eyes. The spell is finally broken when Weiss accidentally squeezed Rouvin's bulge, making him moan and her face even redder. She pulls her hand away so quickly she almost falls backwards over the bed, but Rouvin reacts in time and catches her by the same hand.
Looking to the side she mumbles a "sorry" and is about to stand up and leave, but her hand is still stuck in his.
"It's okay Weiss, it was an accident, we shouldn't rush anything. I mean, I don't mind but if you aren't ready for this kind of intimacy, that's fine. That's why I don't want to stay in your bed, mornings can have this effects."
"I see..." Weiss looks down in an attempt to hide her blush. "...but, I want this kind of intimacy." she adds shyly. Rouvin looks at her and smiles.
"I get it." he replies as he plants a kiss on her forehead. "Just tell me when you're ready." Weiss nods and kisses him on the lips again.
Time seemed to stop for the both of them. Weiss, slowly pushes Rouvin back onto the bed, lips still locked with each other. Rouvin groans as he feels his back hit the mattress as his hands snake down to her thighs, making her moan in his mouth. His hands slip under her nightgown, making Weiss shiver at his touch as they move up to her waist. Both of them are so focus on each other that they barely hear the knock on the door.
"Miss Schnee, Mr. Rose, I'm sorry for the interruption, but if you don't get ready right now, you will be late." Klein's voice rings through the room, snapping both of them out of their trances,
both teens panting and in a deep shade of red.
And with that, the moment is gone again. Not wanting to be late, they both took separate cold showers, not wanting to take any further chances.
Meeting downstairs for breakfast, Klein, Jacques and Willow were giving them weird looks.
"Is something wrong?" Weiss asks while raising one of her eyebrows, but the adults just seem to look away and begin their usual morning routine. Still confused, Weiss and Rouvin just shrug it off and start their own breakfast, which consists of freshly made blueberry pancakes and orange juice.
"Good morning you two, I hope you had a good night." Jacques asks once both teens are seated and he finishes the newspaper.
"A good morning to you too, papa and yes the night was rather pleasant." She smiles a bit while remembering how she got to cuddle with Rouvin.
Besides the weird looks they received, everything was normal like always. They ate and talked a bit before Rouvin and Weiss need to get going. Klein approaches the two teens and hands Rouvin the keys to a white BMW. After what happened with Rouvin and his parents, he got his car back from Cinder. The day after, Rose Enterprises confiscated his car, leaving both him and Weiss stranded at a café they were having a snack at. Weiss had to call one of the Schnee Company drivers to come and pick them up.
After telling Jacques and Willow how their day went, the next day Jacques gave them the BMW they are now using.
Rouvin takes the keys and stands. "Thank you Klein." Klein simply nods. Weiss then stands and approaches Jacques and Willow, kissing them each on their cheeks.
"We'll be heading to school now. Love you!" Weiss calls out as she follows Rouvin out. Jacques and Willow watch as their daughter wraps her arms around Rouvin's arm, which brings a smile to his face as he chuckles.
As the two teens leave, Willow stands and walks back into the manor proper. Jacques looks at her, a confused look on his features.
"Willow?" he calls out. Willow stops and turns to him, a wide smile on her face.
"I'm going to see if we can turn one of the rooms into a nursery." she answers matter of factly, making Jacques and Klein both laugh.
Arriving early as always, Rouvin and Weiss were some of the first at School. Parking the car in the back where usually Rouvin's own car once stood, they smile as they begin to walk towards the main building, where they encounter Cinder.
"Hey Cin." Rouvin greets her. Weiss gives her a smile and a "good morning", which Cinder returns.
"So how has your morning gone so far? No new declarations to rescue the princess out of the clutches of the gruesome monster?"
Weiss sighs dramatically. "Unfortunately," she starts. "Rouvin hasn't declared his love for me yet." Weiss plays along. Over the past month both girls have become close, thanks to their shared interest in teasing Rouvin every chance they get.
Cinder gasps, placing a hand to her chest, "Oh my. How unthoughtful."
Rouvin looks at the two ladies and sighs, while Weiss and Cinder smile and start giggling.
"Weiss, " Cinder starts. "We really need to hang out more."
"Agreed" Weiss nods.
"Then, are you free after school?"
"Yes I am."
"Then we are hanging out." Cinder declares.
"What about Rouvin?" Weiss asks.
"He can busy himself with something for the time being" Cinder answers.
"HEY!" Rouvin calls out. "I heard that!" Weiss and Cinder starts laughing once more.
The morning was otherwise no different than their week has been. Ever since the incident with Neptune happened, everyone knows that Rouvin and Weiss are dating. And with Rouvin's image as a delinquente, people have started to spread rumors of him forcing himself on Weiss like at the party a few months ago. In their minds, Weiss is a victim and participating against her will in their relationship.
So many of their fellow male and even some female students have started to attack Rouvin verbal and physical, while swearing to Weiss their undying love and to protect her from the brute.
To say the least both Rouvin and Weiss are starting to become tired and increasingly pissed at this.
It is almost funny how shallow they all may be the honor Student, but she is more than capable of deciding who she wants to date, thank you very much. And Rouvin may get into fights, but it is almost always because he is protecting or helping someone.
When lunch came around, Rouvin was planning to just go to the roof again, like he always does, but Weiss has other plans as she catches him before he can make it to the stairs "Not today. Let's go to the cafeteria and eat with the others."
Rouvin looks at Weiss in surprise at her sudden action. "Weiss?" Rouvin asks as Weiss starts to drag him bodily into the cafeteria.
It is a scene no one in school would have ever imagined even in their strangest dreams. Walking inside the cafeteria is Weiss Schnee, her hand locked in a death grip on Rouvin's arm, while he is being dragged in against his will. It was a comedical sight, especially considering that Weiss is shorter than Rouvin by a head, so he was slightly hunched over as Weiss pulls him onward. And of course, more than a few whispers and rumors were being spread as they walked.
Walking past Cinder and the rest of Rouvin's small group of friends, he mouths 'Help me!' to which Cinder just smiles and waves him off. Rouvin scrowls.
As they approach Blake and the others, the first one to notice them is Blake, who looks up from her book. Smiling at Weiss who is dragging Rouvin in with her, Blake leans towards Yang and whispers. "Look who's here."
Yang arches an eyebrow as she follows where Blake is looking. Seeing Weiss and Rouvin brings a smile to her face, and causes Nora and the rest to turn towards Weiss.
"WEISS!" Nora calls out. "About time you came back here, and you brought Rouvin!"
"Well, I thought it was about time he tries to eat with us together instead of being alone as usual. I hope none of you mind of course?."
"Of course we don't mind! We were waiting for the day you guys finally decide to show yourselves to us again. You are the only theme everyone is talking about and we'd like to try again a friendship with Rouvin." Pyrrha calls out with a welcoming voice.
Rouvin didn't say anything as he and Weiss go to get their food.
They could feel how everyone was looking at them, with pity at Weiss for being "forced" to date this delinquent, and with hate at Rouvin for daring to lay his hands on their favorite student.
There were also the whispers,
"Poor Weiss, it must be horrible to be in her situation."
"She is so brave for pretending everything is fine, always having a smile on her face."
"That bastard better not dirty her pure heart."
"Someone should teach him a lesson!"
and so on.
Just as they get their food, one of the other students threw their pudding at Rouvin, hitting him on the back.
This causes Weiss to stop in her tracks and glares in the direction the pudding came from.
This is it! She has finally had enough! She will show them exactly how dedicated she is to this relationship! With a iron resolve, Weiss starts to walk quickly to Rouvin, who is standing in front of the table their friends are seated at.
"Weiss, there isn't e-"Rouvin was cut off by Weiss when she pushes him onto the last seat of the table, his tray landing in front of him. Rouvin looks up to Weiss. "Weiss whamphmmm-" Is all that comes out of his mouth before Weiss' lips lock on his. He then feels her climb up on his lap, as her arms wrap around his neck.
The cafeteria goes completely silent at what is happening. Everyone's attention is on the school's honor student sitting on the lap of the school's delinquent, their lips locked with each other. Weiss then slowly slips her tongue into his mouth, moaning at the warmth of it before continuing to play with his tongue. After what seems like forever Weiss pulls away, allowing a string of saliva between them.
Rouvin has a bright red blush on his face and is panting, while Weiss smiles at her work. Catching the boy off guard is something she was proud of.
In the background a tray falls to the ground causing a plate to break.
"Well that was a thing." Is the first thing heard from Yang, causing some of her friends to groan.
Still sitting on Rouvin's lap, Weiss turns to the rest of the cafeteria "To make it crystal clear once and for all, I am more than capable of deciding for myself who I want to date and whom not and Rouvin never forced me into anything! In fact it was me who asked him out, so go and tell that all the others who think I need to be "rescued" and leave us alone!"
There are more than a few whispers before the noise dissolves back to normal. Weiss turns back to Rouvin, who is still dumbfounded as to what just happened. Weiss giggles then leans down to him pecking his lips once, snapping him out of his trance.
"That's for getting called in for an audition for college." She says as he looks up at her.
"Looks like someone's getting laid tonight.." Yang comments with a snicker.
Rouvin turns to Yang and shouts while blushing even redder. "DAMN IT YANG!" causing everyone at their table to laugh.
After the tension disappears and they continued to eat, Yang gives both Rouvin and Weiss a smile. "But seriously, it took you guys long enough to tell us that you're dating. When did that even happen?"
The others were also curious and give them their full attention.
"Well… you see…" Rouvin starts nervously.
"Like I already said, I asked him out about a month ago and since then we are dating" Weiss finishes matter of factly.
Feeling that she left out some details, Yang is about to probe further when Blake interrupts her. "Anyways I think I speak for all of us when I congratulate you both on your relationship. It was really obvious that you like him Weiss so I'm glad he returns that feeling."
Rouvin nods as he wraps his arms around Weiss. "You have no idea."
"Okay.." Nora said. "So before the love birds start making out again, Rooouuuvvvin..." she turns to Rouvin as he looks at her. "We are so sorry about what happened during the vacation."
"Yes, what we did was completely out of line." Pyrrha adds.
"We should have made you feel more welcome." Ren continues.
"And I am so sorry I took that pendant. I honestly didn't know." Jaune finishes.
Rouvin smiles at them. There is a gasp around the cafeteria, the sound of several more trays falling and plates breaking. "Sorry girls he is taken!" Cinder shouts from the other side of the room. The gang looks at Cinder who winks at them, making them laugh as Rouvin shakes his head.
"Nice one Cin!" Yang calls out while giving her a thumbs up.
"I owe you one!" Weiss adds.
"Anyways," Rouvin starts. "It's fine. It was all in the past, and I might have also overreacted."
Yang smiles. This is the first time she's seen her brother open up a bit ever since... "Hey Rubes..." Yang calls out.
Rouvin looks at Yang. "Yah?"
"Congrats on the audition." Yang says with a smile.
Rouvin looks surprised at first, but nods and smiles back at Yang. "Thanks." he says holding up his fist in front of her. Yang looks at him then his fist, tears forming in her eyes. She holds up her fist and fist bumps his as she smiles. This was the gesture they do every time one asks for luck. Him asking it from her now means a lot to Yang.
"Show them what you can do!"
"You bet!"
"Hey Rouvin! Wait up!" Rouvin and Weiss both stop right outside her next class and turn to see Yang running towards them, waving an arm in the air. Rouvin raises an eyebrow as Yang slides to a stop in front of them, panting heavily.
"What's up?"
"Can I talk to you Rouvin? Like, in private?"
Weiss smiles as she stands on her toes to give Rouvin a peck on the cheek. "Go talk to your sister. I'll see you after class."
Motioning with his head, Rouvin leads the way to the roof access, while Yang follows behind him silently. Once the door closes, he moves towards the bench and sits down as he motions for her to take a seat. "What's up Yang?"
She beams happily as she takes a seat opposite him. "I wanted to tell you about what happened after you took off."
Rouvin sighs as his face turns into his mask once more. "Yeah, you better let me know. I'm going to have to go back sooner or later, and I need to know what I may be walking into."
Yang sighs as she looks Rouvin in the eyes. "I got into it with Dad after you left…"
Yang's hand turns white as her fist clenched tightly. Watching Rouvin leave like that is something she has gotten used to, but something inside her told her to stand up for him. Turning to her father, she glares at him.
"How could you do that!?" she shouts. "You know he doesn't want to go to military school. You know perfectly well what he wants."
"What he wants doesn't matter anymore!" Tai shouts back. "If he wants to act like a man, then he is going to go somewhere that is going to teach him how!"
"Have you ever even considered that he was doing what you would do!?" Yang fires back. "Or were all those stories of you defending the weak and the innocent just a load of crap?"
But Yang is not finished yet as she keeps her gaze locked on her father's. "Not only that, but you were always the one who supported him with his dream of being a pianist." Tai just glares at Yang as Summer stares at the two. This is the first time she has ever seen Yang fight back against her father. "You even brought him his first piano." Tai's expression changes. He remembers that perfectly. "And now you're taking everything back, all because you can't handle the fact that Rouvin is more like you than you think." Yang finishes before turning walking away to her room.
Still angry, Yang slams the door shut and throws herself on her bed. She can't believe that her father would go and try force his will on her brother just because he protected someone. She knows that the relationship between them was tense but this? This is all just too much! And her stepmother just stood there, not helping Rouvin or even trying to protect him. It isn't new that they were arguing with him, she is as bad as Tai there, but this is the first time it got physical. At least the first time she knows about.
But Yang was more than anything else angry at herself. She also just stood there, doing nothing even though she planned on helping him every time. To at least be there for him, she is his older sister but acts nothing like it!
As her frustration builds up, she hears her phone ring. Groaning in annoyance, she grabs it and answers.
"What!?"
"Yang, It's Blake." Blake greets her calmly.
Hearing Blake's voice, Yang starts to calm down. Blake has always have this sixth sense of knowing if she was upset or angry. Yang doesn't know how, but it's one of the things she really likes about Blake.
"Are you okay?" Blake asks. "Your dad just took you guys away like that, so I wanted to make sure."
"I'm fine Blake." Yang answered. "Just a fight between my dad and I after Rouvin left."
"You fought with your dad?"
"Argued with him..."
"Well that's something new"
"Yeah. Rouvin ran off to Uncle Qrow again"
"He really should just face his problems." Blake suggests. Blake has known Yang has a brother for a long time now, and just recently found out who that brother actually is.
"It's not that easy Blake" Yang answers as she turns and looks up at the ceiling. "He's dealing with a lot of things. He's still working things out from the incident, all while dealing with our parents. I don't have the details on what happened, but I'm a hundred and one percent sure he was framed for it." There is a pregnant pause between them. Blake knows that Yang just wants to help Rouvin, but doesn't know how. Out of respect, she decides to change the topic.
"Are you done with that Math homework?" Blake asks out of the blue.
Yang flinches. "BLAKE!"
"You seriously told him all that?!" Rouvin looks at Yang in surprise as she shrugs.
"The truth is the truth. And sometimes people need to hear the truth little brother." Yang replies. "I don't know what happened, and I know it may still be a long time before you tell me, if you ever even do. But I'm done being quiet Rouvin. I'm sick and tired of not having my little brother in my life."
Rouvin smiles brightly. Awkwardly he steps closer raising his arms but hesitates. Yang notices this, then steps closer to him and hugs him first. Her hug was loose to allow him to pull away when he needed to. Yang then slowly pulls away, Rouvin comes around the table and pulls Yang into an almost bone crushing hug. Yang was surprised but she returns in kind. "I miss having my big sister in my life too Yang. One day I promise I'll tell you, but not yet."
"That's fine Rubes, whenever your ready. I'll be here to listen."
The siblings keep the hug going for a minute longer before Yang pulls away with a grin. "Hey, can I use your car while you're gone? I promise to be careful!"
"Damn it Yang!" Rouvin growls at her even as he puts his keys in her hand. "Not one scratch on it, got it?"
"Yeah yeah yeah."
The rest of the day is uneventful, aside from the looks Weiss and Rouvin are getting from the other girls after they saw him smile, causing Weiss to hug his arm closer whenever they walked the down the halls together.
After School they part ways, Weiss planning on hanging out with Cinder for a while Rouvin drives back to the manor. He is planning on practicing a bit before he makes his way to Vale University, where the auditions for all three School will be.
Giving Rouvin one last kiss for good luck, Weiss pats his chest gently as she smiles up at him. "Good luck and message me when you are there." The drive would take four hours and Rouvin has already cleared it with Ozpin to get the next three days off.
"Will do." Leaning down to get another kiss, they are interrupted by Cinder, who puts their hand between them.
"If you don't stop, you'll never get there on time and still be standing here tomorrow."
With a sigh, Rouvin steps away. "You're right. Anyway have fun but don't you dare try to steal my girlfriend Cin!" Giving his best friend a playful glare he finally made his way to the car.
Smirking Cinder puts one arm around Weiss's shoulders "I don't know if I can resist the temptation. I mean she is a cute one."
Playing along, Weiss put one of her arms around Cinder waist "We'll see if we can manage to not start making out as soon as you're gone."
Giving them one last smile he just says "I love you too" before finally driving away.
It isn't unusual for Rouvin to return alone to the Schnee mansion. Usually Weiss stays back at the school to finish some Student council work or she goes to hang out with Blake and her other friends. It was fine since it wouldn't be healthy for them to spend every second together.
Rouvin always uses this time to play the piano, enjoying the comfortable calmness of the house.
To be honest, in the one week he has lived here, the Schnee's have become more of a family to him than his own. He doesn't mind playing for them, and Jacques and Willow comment on his pieces, as well as say that they also love to have music in the house.
After getting home, he didn't waste much time getting to the music room. Sitting at the piano, he starts to let his fingers dance across the keys. As the piano starts to sing Rouvin gets engulfed in the sound. He continues to play not noticing someone walking in.
Rouvin reaches the end before he notices Whitley standing there.
"Whitley?" he calls out. Whitley looks at Rouvin.
"Hey, Rouvin." he replies. His hands are behind him, trying to hide something. Rouvin turns to him.
"Is something wrong?" Whitley shakes his head.
"Well...I was...ahhh...hoping you could help me with something?" Whitley asks as he shows a music book. Rouvin looks at the book and smiles. It was the same book he himself started with. Rouvin nods and makes space for the 9 year old. Whitley smiles and walks over to Rouvin and sits beside him.
"So where are you stuck at?" Rouvin asks. Whitley opens the book and rest it in front of them.
"Right here" Whitley answers. Rouvin then starts teaching him the basics to avoid confusion.
As Rouvin places his fingers on the keys, Whitley would follow and try to copy the movements. Before they both know it, it was time for Rouvin to leave.
"Sorry Whitley, but I have to go." Rouvin says.
"Awww..." Whitley pouts as Rouvin smiles and ruffles his hair.
"Just practice what I taught you" Whitley looks at Rouvin as he smiles and nods. "Good."
Rouvin then makes his way to the car and gets in. "Have a safe trip!" Whitley shouts, making Rouvin smile.
The car starts and Rouvin starts driving. A four hour drive, this is going to be a long night for him.
