"So Ruby got a job that she just barely told me about this morning when she was running out the door. She works in that bakery Tukson runs, remember his annual three kings bread? Goodness that's good. I've been working pretty much non stop and they forced me to take the day off the second I walked into the hospital and here I thought they would be more hospitable… Get it? Aw you know it was funny." Yang chuckled when she was met with silence and settled deeper into the the frost covered grass, ignoring the twigs digging into her back through her dark green scrubs.
"Man I remember when I was just barely getting through medical school before I just threw myself into it so much so that I skipped three years of medical school. I'm no Ruby but I can certainly max out my levels of studying if I try apparently. You of all people should know that Weiss." Yang closed her eyes and listened to the wind as she thought about her happiest moments with the girl she loved.
Yang paced around her room as she attempted to pump herself up. It the big day. It was the day she was going to finally confess her feelings towards Weiss. It was their first day back from the winter break of their sophomore year of high school and Yang had a plan.
She had dressed into her nicest clothes and had been pumping herself up for this the entire morning. No one knew why she had been so off the day before or the one before that when she had finally decided to go for it. She ran down stairs and skipped breakfast out of fear of the possibility of throwing up, she hadn't eaten the night before either but that was just out of pure excitement. Summer gave her a funny look as she dragged Ruby out the door with a her cereal spoon still in her mouth.
As they speed walked to school Ruby glared at Yang. "What's your deal Yang? I didn't even have time to take the spoon out of my mouth before you dragged me away."
"Deal? What deal? I have no deal." Yang said quickly before speeding up.
"Please, I haven't seen you this nervous since… Oh my gosh you have a crush." Ruby grinned and leaning in closer to Yang. "Who is it? Is it Pyrrha?"
"No it's not and Pyrrha is dating Juan."
"Jaune's cousin? Damn that was fast, he literally just moved here."
Yang shrugged, "Love at first sight I guess and have you talked to that guy? The dude is interesting as hell. Some people have this joke going around that he's the most interesting man in the world."
Ruby soon forgot what she had been grilling Yang about and they soon arrived at Signal High. Yang quickly separated herself from Ruby to search for Weiss in their usual spot before anyone else arrived and there under the shade of the of the old oak tree sat Weiss in all her glory. She sat there reading what seemed to be yesterday's notes for the college classes they were taking to get their AA degree.
"I still don't get why we need to get an AA degree during high school." said Yang as she casually flopped down next to Weiss.
"It's so that we can skip the first two years of our undergraduate work." responded Weiss without a single glance in Yang's direction.
"But doesn't that take the whole 'fun' experience out of college?"
"College isn't supposed to be fun Yang. Will you please be quiet I'm trying to study for today's exam." said Weiss as she turned to a new page in her text book.
Yang almost lost her nerve before she scooted closer to Weiss and said "Soooo do you have a crush on anyone?"
Wow Yang that was smoooooth. Why don't you just tell her that you've had a crush on her for the past two years I'm sure that would break the ice much easier than your stupidly random transition.
Weiss' ears began to color as she glared down at her notes, "I don't see how that is any of your business Yang."
"Come ooon, I've gotta know. I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours." said Yang as she bumped her shoulder against Weiss.
Weiss sighed and turned to glare at Yang, "Fine, if it'll get you off my back I'll let you tell me yours."
"Aw but that's no fun you've gotta tell me yours too."
"I might... "
Yang rolled her eyes and said "Fine. Well my crush is a beautiful girl, although she can be a bit angry and mean at times it's not her fault she just has a short fuse. She calls me brute, dummy, blondie and I think she called me bimbo once by accident." Weiss scrunched her eyebrows as she began to put the pieces together. "We met in the awkwardest way possible, I had been hunting her down to beat her up because she made my little sis cry the day before and then when she apologized we got to talking we became quick friends." by the end Yang had looked away from Weiss and waited. They sat in silence until the bell rang to signal everyone to get to their first class. She heard Weiss scribble something onto a piece of paper before she tore it out and tossed it onto Yang's lap as she got up and rushed to class.
I have a crush on you too you big blind oaf. - Weiss.
Yang smiled from ear to ear as rushed after Weiss, it had been on of the best days of her life
Yang snuggled deeper into her girlfriend's neck reveling in the feeling of her soft skin as Weiss tried to shrug her off with a smile beginning to bloom across her face. "Yang get off me, we have to get dressed."
"It's Sunday and was have the house to ourselves for the rest of the day. We can stay naked all we like, no one is going to walk in and interrupt our fun."
"I think we've had enough fun to last a lifetime, considering what happened last night." A dark blush spread across Weiss' cheeks as she remembered the night before.
"...You don't regret it do you?" said Yang in a worried tone as she began to unwrap her arm from Weiss' naked waist.
Weiss pulled her back and into a kiss as she rewrapped Yang's arms around herself and slid her own around the girl she had been dating for nearly a year and a half. When the kiss finally broke she looked into Yang's eyes and smiled, "I would never regret anything I do with you. Yang you make me the happiest girl in the world and I love you for it."
Yang's heart flew and threatened to break mach one with how fast it was going. Weiss had said she loved her for the first time and Yang could do nothing but smile and attack her with kisses. Finally snuggling back into Weiss' neck she said, "I love you too Weiss."
Ruby ran across the house muttering about being late in her usual blue and silver colored attire. She walked out the front door and soon ran back inside not a minute later holding a letter for Yang not bothering to glance at it twice. "Hey here's a letter for you I didn't look at where it's from because I'm late meeting Penny and Sun."
"Gonna finally rent out a hotel room and fuck each others brains out?" said Yang as she took the envelope from Ruby.
"Yang for the last time, Sun is gay and me and Penny are just friends."
"Suuuure you are."
Ruby just rolled her eyes not bothering to get into another argument with her sister. She left and slammed the door behind herself. Yang chuckled at her sister before looking down at the envelope to see who sent it.
Beacon University followed by an insignia of two crossed axes sat on the paper in clearly printed black ink. Yang sat on the the couch and stared at the paper for what felt like ages before she reached over to the end table next the couch and called Weiss.
"Hello?" answered Weiss after three dreadful rings.
"Weiss I got a letter from Beacon today…"
She heard Weiss gasp, "What did it say?"
"I don't know I'm too afraid to open it… can you please come over?"
"I'll be there in ten." with that Weiss hung up the phone and Yang continued to stare at the piece of paper that would more than likely determine her future with Weiss. She knew if she didn't get into Beacon it would seriously strain their relationship to it's limit and she wasn't planning on giving up on Weiss just yet.
Weiss soon arrived and opened the heavy wooden door with the key Yang had given her for emergencies. She quickly found Yang frozen on the couch and sped to her. "I'm here Yang."
Yang finally tore her eyes away from the envelope and gave Weiss a weak smile."Weiss I'm gonna be honest. I don't even think I can open it… would you mind opening it and reading it for me?..."
Weiss matched her smile and slipped the envelope out of Yang's hands. As soon as she tore it open she almost heard Yang's grip on the sofa tighten. Weiss thoroughly read and re-read the paper in her hands before a large grin stretched across her face. "You have been accepted into Beacon. Congratulations Ya-" before Weiss could finish her sentence Yang tackled down onto the couch with a hug.
Weiss giggled and hugged Yang back, the laughing soon turned into kisses and those turned into something more.
Weiss moaned as Yang bit down on her lower lip and ground her hips against hers. Yang soon released her mouth and traced the side of her jaw with her lips until she made it to Weiss' ear. "Care to continue the celebration in my room? I wouldn't want us to get interrupted like last time."
Weiss' ears began to burn at the memory of the time Summer and Tai had caught them half naked on the couch and forced them to get dressed before giving them, the talk…
"Ugh. Don't even remind me, but I would love to continue this in your room." Weiss purred the last of her sentence. Yang gave her a sultry smile before getting off Weiss and lifting her into her arms before carrying her into her room.
Tears began to blur Yang's vision as she tried to will the unwanted train of thoughts from flooding her mind. More and more flashes ran through her mind until it landed on the ones she hated the most. Yang soon sat up and and hugged her legs as she leaned against a familiar stone.
Yang had paced the length of their apartment so many times she was afraid of starting to wear away the carpet. She took out the small velvet box from her pocket one last time and opened it to look at the engagement ring she had bought. They had recently come back from their first winter break of college and Yang wanted this to be special, she had decorated the apartment she shared with Weiss with christmas lights. They littered the walls and ceiling, she had set up an amazing meal for the both of them to enjoy before she popped the question. She knew she loved Weiss and she wanted to spend the rest of her life with her and just the thought of that made Yang giddy.
Weiss soon arrived from her distraction Yang had set up so that she had time to decorate and cook the food she had prepared for tonight. Weiss followed the trail of rose petals into the living room with wide eyes and her mouth slightly agape. "Y-yang what's all this?"
Yang shrugged, "I wanted to do something special for my Snowpea."
Weiss smiled, "Yang I don't even know what to say. This is so amazing."
"Don't say anything, just sit down and have dinner with me."
Weiss nodded and sat down on the chair across from Yang before taking a bite out of the meal Yang had prepared. Weiss moaned the moment the food hit her tongue. "Oh my gosh this is amazing, what is it?"
"It's just shrimp risotto." laughed Yang.
"It's heavenly. You are definitely going to be making this more often."
"Maybe."
They ate mostly is comfortable silence until Yang said, "Hey Weiss I wanna ask you something."
Noticing the note of seriousness Yang's voice she put down her spoon and reached across their small table to place her hand on Yang's. "What is it?"
"Um well.." Yang took a deep breath before pulling out the small box from earlier and dropping down on one knee. "Weiss I now we just turned eighteen and nineteen not too long ago but… I know that I want to spent the rest of my life with you. I know it's quick and people will question it but I don't care Weiss. I love you and I really want to marry you so um… Weiss Schnee will you marry me?"
Weiss stared at Yang for a full minute before sighing, "I'm sorry Yang but… I can't…" In that moment Yang's heart shattered into a million pieces, but she stayed silent as Weiss continued. "Yang… my father doesn't even know I'm gay."
"What? We've been together for almost four years. How does he not know? And isn't Winter gay? I'm sure if you came out it would be fine. He seems pretty accepting towards Winter." Yang stood up from her kneeling position and sat back down at the table.
"Yang do you know the reason Winter is in the military?" Yang shook her head. "My father sent her there after she came to him in hopes that they would straighten her out. No pun intended. Yang I am literally my dad's last hope for an air to the Schnee fortune. I couldn't marry you even if I wanted to."
"So what was your plan in all this? To string me along until you found yourself a nice man?" Yang surprised herself with how calm she was being.
"No! That's not it. Yang I love you but… just give it time okay?" Weiss attempted to reach out and touch Yang but Yang had pulled away just before their hands could touch.
A week later the fighting began, they no longer playfully bickered and teased. They yelled and screamed at each other until the nabors pounded on their door telling them to stop, Weiss would throw things and Yang would put holes in walls that she would later fix. They stopped touching each other completely two months after that and three months after that Weiss had agreed to go on a trip with Yang's family. Unfortunately they had had another fight the day of and Yang had ended up not going on the trip out of spite.
That had been the biggest mistake of her life.
Not a day later she got a phone call from a nearby hospital apparently her family didn't even make it out of the city before a sixteen wheeler hit their tiny Honda with full force, killing the front passengers instantly. A piece of shrapnel had flown and lodged itself into Weiss's neck giving her a very slow and painful death. The only one to survive the accident with minimal injuries had been Ruby.
When Yang had rushed to the hospital she had not been allowed to seen Weiss, but she also had to be the one to identify her parents bodies because Ruby had still been in a coma at the time. Seeing them lying on cold metal slaps sickened Yang to her core.
Never again would she hear Summer sing the beautiful songs from her french homeland. Never again would she hear her father yell at her in mandarin. Never again would she be able to take back the horrible last words she spoke to Weiss. The horrible pain of loss tore her insides and spiked through the shell she had built around her heart the day Weiss rejected her proposal.
Tears streamed down Yang's face as she turned to read the inscription that has already been burned into her retinas.
Weiss Schnee
Beloved Daughter and Sister
May She Rest in Peace
"Got dammit Weiss I miss you so much. I'm sorry I wasn't there. I could have protected you. I could have done something. Not just let you die thinking I hated you." Yang wanted to scream she wanted to punch a hole in the universe and bring back the girl she loved. She wanted to do so many things but all she could do at the moment was sit and cry over what could have been.
…
