A/N: Cause i like Weiss, and i feel like she has a lot to build on~ and i figure, if ANYONE would get half the insecurities Pyrrha had, it'd be Weiss, they were 'almost' the same :3
so a little friend crack to throw on this fire~
ENJOY!
P-Money Lite
Weiss hated being second best. Period.
She was a lot of things; successful, smart, had her own singing career, was an outstanding Huntress-in-training, beautiful if she said so herself! She had it all! Money! Fame! Power! She was awesome!
But standing next to Pyrrha freakin' Nikos she was reminded she sure as hell wasn't the only one.
Pyrrha had her own jet. She had the love of her team leader. She was the record holding champion of Mystral for her outstanding PERFECT four straight wins in their regional tournament. And as much as Weiss hated to admit it, the woman had done WONDERS to Jaune, the damn Mr. Universe of Beacon was now permanently unobtainable because Ms. Perfect snagged that underneath everyone's noses. Weiss had the chance… but boy did she waste it.
Oh well, noodly blonde guys weren't her interest anyway…
And she could still sing, damnit!
… well, she had that in the bag until that freakin' talent competition where Pyrrha rocked a tragic Mystralian ballad of forlorn love and SERIOUSLY there was no damn way ANYONE could out do Ms. Perfect on THAT!
She won, of course, because any time Pyrrha freakin' Nikos competes, she WINS! No exceptions, it was like a rule of the Universe, Weiss was convinced.
Which meant no matter what, she'd always be second.
And Weiss hated being second.
Pyrrha was always better, it was like being back in Atlus with her sister Winter all over again.
Only Pyrrha was individually wealthy, everything she had she gained herself through her championship winnings or sponsors. Weiss would admit the Mystralian trained like crazy, so she couldn't say she didn't deserve anything she had, making the extra wholesomeness of the red head's outstanding victories in EVERYTHING that much more grating. She was individually wealthy, good with her money, charitable, genuinely nice in every way possible (except maybe a competitive streak no one could fault her for) and all of her talents, while seeming gods-given, were genuinely developed with hardwork and hours of practice and dedication.
Pyrrha freakin' 'P-Money' Nikos was goddamn perfect.
It seemed for Weiss the closest she could ever get was 'P-Money lite' as Nora once called her, much to her absolute chagrin.
It was an extra insult since Weiss took it as a jab at the differences in their physical characteristics. Sure, she was short, she accepted that when she was 14 and everyone else was taller than her, vainly hoping she'd grow to at least be as tall as Winter but that ship seemed to have sailed. At twenty she was still petite at best…
And don't even get her started on her 'humble' assets…
While Pyrrha goddamn Nikos was an impressive six feet, well 'developed', even the fact she was muscular didn't detract from how proportionally voluptuous the damn woman was! Breasts that were perfect, even compared to Yang's which were a bit bigger, hips that matched them just right, despite Blake's being wider, all culminating in a perfect hourglass figure and athletic build and overflowing confidence that made her the number one desirable woman at Beacon.
Pyrrha GODDAMN Nikos was perfect.
And Weiss hated it.
Or at least, she felt she should.
Maybe it was her time at Beacon, surrounded by roudy individuals, psychotic deviants like her teammates, lunatics like Ren and Nora, and enough Faunus to give her father and aneurism, but somehow she'd… mellowed out.
For the longest time she hated Pyrrha for being perfect. This of course was after she'd had enough reality checks to realize she wasn't perfect or 'the best', Pyrrha was, and her wounded pride wanted to blame something. Then, Weiss supposed, she just 'grew up'.
Pyrrha wasn't perfect, in fact the taller girl had become a decent friend to her, the two of them having a level of understanding between each other. Both had been prodigies, were socially awkward in that 'I can fake it' kind of way, and for all intents and purposes were superior to rest of the students at Beacon but where Weiss used to flaunt it Pyrrha was humble about it. They were also rich as hell, Weiss because of her family, Pyrrha from her competitions, so they knew the annoyances that brought and could only really talk to each other about it without feeling… 'weird' about it to the rest of these poor chumps.
Honestly, if it weren't for Pyrrha, Weiss was almost positive she'd have snapped and gone on a murderous rampage years ago, specifically when Blake and Yang started getting their deviant kink all over their room and she was forced to spend more time with Ruby sheltering the poor naïve girl.
It was actually Pyrrha's idea that Weiss try to 'enjoy' those trips away from the lunacy that was the weird couple-triple-whatever that took up the other half of their dorm room. The Mystralian was surprisingly open-minded about a lot of things, though apparently that was just part of Mystral culture and probably helped that Pyrrha wasn't raised in a crazy strict family like the Schnees.
Weiss remembered last summer where all of Team RWBY and JNPR were invited to Pyrrha's ancestral home. Okay, it wasn't really that auspicious, her small apartment she grew up in with her mother was rather quant, but the rest of the country was insane with pictures of Pyrrha freakin' Nikos everywhere! Those people DID NOT skimp on merchandising what they considered a national treasure.
No, both teams did NOT spend their time in the cramped little apartment. Yang and Blake stopped by to see the place then disappeared, likely to wherever Sun was so they could shack up for the whole week. Ren and Nora said hi, ate pancakes then disappeared for the whole time too, returning to the jet with all manner of strange things no one wanted to bother asking about or why Ren was in a dress. Jaune was forced to sleep on the couch, Momma-Nikos' orders, while the girls shared Pyrrha's old room. It was cozy enough, made more so when Pyrrha insisted they take the bed and they said nothing about her slipping out in the middle of the night. Momma-Nikos' be damned!
Luckily Mystral culture seemed to encourage people NEVER slept. The people were up before dawn and out the door doing whatever in the cities and didn't return to nearly two in the morning. Weiss finally had a reason for just HOW Pyrrha could do so much in one damn day, apparently it was just part of her upbringing. Breakfast, training, cleaning, shopping, wondering, more shopping, haggling, training, meeting with family, etc. all before lunch, it was maddening. From what Weiss could tell only Ruby could keep up, and that was only for the first two days, then the little speedster crashed and Momma-Nikos laughed, calling her lazy.
Weiss was so worn out from the trip, in a good way, that her and Ruby slept the whole way back (on Pyrrha's freakin' jet!) and were apparently carried back and thrown on her bed to sleep for the rest of the day.
Weiss would never admit she was thankful for the damnably perfect redhead distracting their other teammates too much to put her and Ruby in separate beds.
Weiss would never have invited her team or JNPR to her home, they'd be thrown out in a second due to her crazy father. All the 'traditions' being broken and whatever else he could shout about. Then there was Winter and she wasn't sure how her older sister would react to half the things that happened when her friends were together. The world for Weiss Schnee had gotten extremely strange over the years.
She wasn't the 'best' and she was okay with that. She was friends with a number of certifiably insane individuals, including several faunus, and arguably her 'best' friend was the one woman she had plotted several times, and in great detail, how to murder and get away with it, for something as petty as being 'first' for once.
Weiss Schnee hated being second best, but maybe, just for once she was fine with being 'P-Money lite'.
A/N: also celebrating my midterms being over and my new icon, Weiss, you might just be starting to become my new favorite~ enjoy it~
and soon Weiss, soon~
Mystral, like the crack-infused spawn of Italy and Greece, get your expresso, merchandise, and cramped apartments with weird family just down the street~ :D hell Japan might have gotten in there somehow too~ XD
Till next -salute-waves- Sayounara, Mina!
