Hi there! I'm so sorry for the long ass delay, again. I've been having some troubles in my personal life. That and my time arrangement's been fucked up lately. So to make it up, I'm gonna be posting this chapter and chapter 10 very soon. Tonight at the least. So stay tuned for that. Also, I'd like to thank you. At this moment the story has 11 reviews, 34 favourites, 5,826 views and 81 followers. And counting. Also I didn't think last chapter was very great. Like I said, I was going through some shit up in the great white north of Canada (eh). I thought I'd get a TON of bad reviews saying how cheap the story was and that you hated it and blah blah blah. But when I seen the reviews the next day I was very enlightened by your comments. So I'd like to personally thank jaden4321 for his/her honest opinion (sorry, I don't really know which gender you are, I assume it's a girl but nonetheless). It really makes me happy to see someone take the time to tell me they actually like this story. It's one thing to see the views, but to actually have a comment about it makes me inspired. So I encourage all of you that like or dislike the story to comment so I can make it as great as I can. Also, I'd like to thank the anonymous guest who commented on my chapter. Don't worry bud, I'm not gonna incorporate the Bumblebee couple very much, not often. I am focusing more on White rose shit. I MIGHT do special chapters' every now and again, but I'm gonna be doing mainly Weiss and Ruby content, so don't worry. Also yeah, I forgot to add that his dad was only there to see his daughter's team, but had to go as he had something to do with business. I thought it was also just boring write up so I skipped it (and I'm lazy). Also who knows what I might do with Neptune. I laughed when I read about that part in the comments. So anyway, enjoy!

Future Edited. If you've read the previous chapter's you know what that means.

Chapter 9: Secret's: Part 1

(Weiss POV)

I listened in shock of Ruby and Yang's conversation through the crack of the door. I couldn't believe it, Ruby actually admitted she was attracted to me. I was listening to the whole conversation, all this time I was afraid Ruby wouldn't like me for being lesbian. It enlightened me a bit to know she actually had feelings for me.

I walked through the hallway, down the stairs and out of the dormitory. The whole walk I thought about Ruby's words. She must've been really worried to make Yang swear an oath that she wouldn't tell. Ruby told the whole gang EVERYTHING, literally. She once told us about the time at Signal she forgot to put on clothes one day and rushed out of her dorm room late for her class. Yep, that was a mental picture I really did not want to see, not yet anyways.

I went into the library and started to scan the building for Blake, finally finding her cross-legged resting on the wall as I walked up to the cat faunus. 'Maybe she'll know what to do.'

"Hey Blake," I greeted, waving to her. "How and what are you doing this fine night?"

"Alright, just reading." Blake replied, returning back to her book as I sat down next to her.

"Listen, Blake. Can I ask you something?"

Blake looked back at me. "Umm, sure. What is it?" The brunetted replied, unsure of what's to come next.

"Well, I was just wondering if you've heard anything about Ruby liking anyone. I was gonna ask her myself but she's kinda talking in private with Yang. So, have you heard anything?" I asked, sounding almost desperate for the info.

"Well... not really, I've never really heard anything about that topic. But I think I know what you mean though. Yang told me she isn't seeing anyone lately, but she said Ruby's mostly busy with her own problems as being leader so I guess she isn't really in a rush, you know?" Blake replied, looking at me funny. "Is there something I don't know that I should?"

I tensed up. Knowing I just blew it, I sighed. "Okay, I.. kinda like... Ruby." I muttered quietly. Blake smiled.

"I think Ruby does too Weiss." Blake admitted, making my head shoot up.

"R-really?!"

The raven haired girl nodded. "Yang talks about Ruby always getting red in the face whenever your name's presented as the topic, and she does tend to sit next to you often. My guess, she's shy about her feelings to you, she's afraid you will find her unattractive and ruin the friendship you two already have."

"Well, what should I do? I can't just up-and say 'hey, you wanna be girlfriends?'. Ruby's gonna think I'm desperate."

"I don't know. But my opinion is you should tell her when you think the time is most appropriate. Confess that you love her and then ask her out on a date."

"Is it really that simple?"

"Hey, it worked for me." Blake stated, "Yang and I are going out on a date next Saturday."

'I guess the best way to a same-sex relationship is honesty.' I thought to myself as I pondered.

"Alright, but how will I know?"

"When you no longer need to push the question," Blake replied. "Now, I don't mean to be rude but could I get back to my book? I came here so I could avoid conversating, plus I promised myself I'd finish a few more chapters before I went back to the dorm's."

I nodded. "Sorry, it was just stuck on my mind. I just had to talk to someone about it."

"It's alright, I felt the same way you did when I found out someone liked me secretly too."


I spent the next few hours on the computer's looking up different ways to confess your love to someone and when you'll see it. I found different reviews on same-sex love stories that they posted online. I searched for any way to know it's true love and how to approach it. I searched and searched until I knew exactly what I had to do; I had to make small gestures to Ruby, something that involved being close that gave off signs that I was interested, like hugging or holding hands, but in a unique way. Because it's normal to see girls holding hands and hugging. I needed to show Ruby I thought of her more than just friends.

"Jeez, you still up? I thought you went back to the dormitory hours ago," Blake spoke. "What're you searching?"

"I'm looking for a way to tell Ruby I love her, through physical gestures." I responded, to which Blake looked at me funny.

"Don't you think it's a little early to be doing that kinda stuff?" Blake asked. I shook my hands in a panic almost.

"No no, not like that! I meant through regular gestures, but with a little more 'umph'."

"A little more umph. What the hell does that mean?"

"Give her the thought that I am comfortable with her by being more than close. I need to show more emotion to it." I explained

Blake shook her finger, understanding my plan. "Oooh, I get it," Blake replied. "So how are you gonna tell her?"

"Well, it says online that when the time's right she'll confess." I answered.

"Alright, guess you'll just have to wait. Come on, it's getting late. Let's head back."

Our walk back to the Dorm's was all about the topic of love. Blake told me stories of how she dated men, but didn't see the attraction in them. She told me about the time with Adam, and a couple other times with some members of the White Fang. That's when something hit her that she forgot to ask.

"...Wait a minute, I thought you liked Neptune. What happened to him?" Blake asked, awaiting my answer. I just laughed.

"I realized Neptune's a dickhead that only thinks about himself. I see how he looks at other women, how he responds to them. He's a man-whore. And I had to figure that out the hard way." I explained. Blake had a surprised look on her face.

"Wow, I really thought you two were gonna hit it off together." Blake admitted.

"Even if we did, it would only be for maybe a year. Maybe. That's the other thing about why I like Ruby. I know if I am in a relationship with her, it will be more fulfilling than with some playboy." I admitted. Blake nodded in agreement as we walked into our dormroom, where Ruby and Yang were already sleeping. After brushing my teeth and going to the washroom I said goodnight to Blake, who was already cuddling up with Yang. I got into my bed and faced the wall, thinking about how this would work out. I could see myself with Ruby, sitting next to her as we watched the sun set with me in her arms. And I hoped that one day that dream would come true.


A few days later (Ruby's POV).

I've been looking up ways to confess my love to Weiss for about 3 days now. I just couldn't find a way to tell her without compromising our friendship negatively. Weiss was too uptight, too formal. It made my confession so much harder to do, not to mention the scars on my arms and my clinical depression. I didn't sleep much last night, between staying up late thinking about how to tell her and just not getting a good enough sleep. I was tired, so I decided to just look it up in my scroll for an hour or so and take a nap in the corner of the library for a few hours. After about half an hour of surfing the web though, I was getting really drowsy. I decided to play a game on my phone to try and wake my mind up. Just as I did though, guess who came up to me? Weiss.

"Ruby? What're you doing here? I thought you had to run into town today?" Weiss analyzed as she walked up to me. "Why're you all alone?"

"Oh, hey Weiss. No, I postponed it for another day. I thought I would just sit here for a few hours. I just don't wanna be in the dorm right now." I answered as Weiss sat down next to me. I couldn't move much down on the wall, seeing as I chose the damn corner to sit in. 'The one time I think my odds are good, not that I'm complaining.'

"Why don't you want to be in the dorms? Are you bored of your top bunk? We could change it up if you want." Weiss asked, scooting closer to me.

"It's not that I don't want to be in the dorms, it's just I-I felt like coming here, if that makes sense. It's alright, I'm perfectly fine with my bunk." I explained. Now the heiress was closer than ever, I could tell something was up. 'I wonder if Yang put her up to this or something.'

"L-listen, Weiss. W-would it be alright if I-I just, took a nap? I-I don't wanna be rude or anything, I just didn't really get much s-sleep last night." I asked, stuttering like a nervous wreck. I felt like I was gonna shoot up in the air and out of the library.

All of a sudden, I felt a calm, warm hand rub against my back. I was certain I was gonna lose it, and I almost did as I let out a small yelp and jumped in the spot. I could feel my hairs standing up on the back of my neck as the white haired girl gently coursed her hand up and down my back with the softest touch. She then proceeded to move her arm up my neck as she massaged it. It felt good, almost too good. "W-Weiss!" I yelped as she continued to massage my neck with her hand.

"Shhhh... It's okay. Just relax your body." Weiss replied calmly. I was about to jump up when the heiress calmly laid my head on her lap and started to stroke my head, her touch soft and calming. I felt comfortable and safe on her lap.

"Weiss, what're you-"

"I read online that laying your head down on a familiar's lap can reduce stress and relax your body. It will help you sleep better," Weiss stated, interrupting me. "Just relax, okay?"

"O-okay." I replied, fixing myself so my body was resting fully on Weiss' legs. Weiss started to hum gently. The ice queen was right as I felt my eyes close, Weiss humming softly in my ear. Her voice was like roses dancing in the breeze. I closed my eyes completely and let her beautiful singing voice lull me to a deep sleep, rested ever so perfectly on her lap.

A minute later (Weiss' POV).

I watched as the little crimsonette started to snore quietly. It was like watching an animal sleep almost. A cute, red fox laying in my lap. I stopped humming when Ruby fell asleep, but continued to stroke her hair as she slept soundly. Soon I too felt tired, taking in hints of Ruby's hair as the smell of roses lulled me to sleep.

I awoke again, looking at clock on the wall to the left of me as I calculated we were asleep for about an hour. I checked my lap to find Ruby still snoring, but there was something wrong. She was fidgeting a lot in her sleep. I saw her twitching and cringing as if in a terrible dream. I started to stroke her arm, trying to get her to calm down. But it did little to nothing as her nightmare seemed to worsen.

"W-..Weiss..." The cookie monster mumbled in her sleep, a tear ran down her face. It was as if Ruby was looking for me in her nightmare. I kept stroking her arm, as if trying to tell her I was still here. "Weiss..." She actually started to cry this time.

"Hey, hey. It's okay. I'm right here Ruby." I whispered. The little girl started to jolt her head around, not violently, but enough for me to know she was frightened.

"Ruby, wake up. It's just a dream." I stated in a small tone. Ruby didn't respond, she just kept thrashing and twitching. Finally, the hooded girl jolted her head up in a panic.

"WEISS!" Ruby screamed, looking around the library. I spun her around, grabbing her tightly around the arms.

"Ruby, it's just a bad dream! Snap out of it!" I yelled at her, looking in shock at Ruby's eyes. It was as if she was there, but wasn't. She was crying hard now. Her eyes rolled to the back of her head and she collapsed into my body. The redhead pulled me in for a hug as she laid her head on my shoulder.

"Weiss..." Ruby sobbed. It was like she hadn't seen me in forever. "sniff. Don't, ever, leave me.."

That touched my heart, to hear Ruby say that. I didn't know if she was talking in her sleep or not, but it was as if she lost me in her dreams and didn't think she'd ever see me again. I tried to pull her away to see if Ruby was awake or not, but when I tried to pry her off she clung tight, like a kid to her parent. And every time I did so she'd make a scared noise, as if she was gonna lose me again.

"No.. Don't go Weiss. Stay with me..." Ruby begged in her sleeping voice.

"It's okay, I'm not gonna leave you. Just feel the warmth of my touch when you can't see me." I said, trying to connect to her dream. After a moment, she mumbled an 'okay'.

I pulled Ruby slowly away from me, when I did she cringed. The little redhead was unhappy that I moved her away from me. It was strange. Ruby was still deep in sleep, but it was as if she knew of her surroundings.

"Mmm.. Weiss.." Ruby mumbled as she began to cry again. I started to test this a bit, moving the sleeping redhead around my vicinity to see results. From what I gathered, Ruby was most unhappy whenever she was the farthest away from me. The hooded girl even lifted her arms in her sleep when I moved her as far away as my arm span. I pulled her back in, resting her atop my chest, on top of my beating heart. I saw a smile of happiness erupt across her face as she snored soundly in my arms. "Jesus. I gotta see what's wrong with her." I said quietly as I picked her up bridal style. Ruby continued to sleep soundly in my arms as I carried her out of the library. I got just about to the fountain when I heard Yang shout.

"Ruby!" Yang blurted as she ran up to me. "What happened?!"

"Nothing! Ruby's fine!" I said, Yang had a look of relief on her.

"Oh thank god. Why are you carrying her then?"

"I.. don't really know how to explain this, so I'll just show you." I said, giving her the sleeping redhead. Ruby began to thrash about in Yang's arms just afterwards

"Weiss.. Weiss..." Ruby mumbled.

"Ruby. It's me, Yang." Yang spoke, Ruby just continued to fidget.

"No... Where's Weiss... I want Weiss..."

Yang gave Ruby back to me. The redhead calmed down almost instantly as she gripped my jacket like a hawk.

"Well, I've only seen her do that really once. Take her down to the hospital, they might prescribe pills or something. But I can't remember why she did that." Yang concluded. I nodded.

"Alright, I'll be off then." I said as I did a small bow and left with the sleeping hooded girl.

'I hope Ruby's okay.'

Alright, so that was chapter 9. Wow, I can't believe we're already at chapter 9 of this fanfiction. I tried my best to make it as heartwarming as I could, making Ruby seem like the little kid almost. Sorry if it wasn't very action packed or didn't really do much. I wanted to make another 2-part chapter so I figured this would be the perfect time. So I hope more people leave their reviews on it, like Jaden. So as always, Stay tuned!
