ENJOT!
What are friends for?
"You know, I had plans to murder you in such a way no one would ever find the body…"
"Ha… so did I…"
Those were the first truly honest things Weiss Schnee and Pyrrha Nikos ever said to each other. Sure, they'd been 'friends', like with any other member of their combined group of RWBYJNPR-chaos, but when it was just them there had always been a sort of underlying animosity or aggression.
"God, you are just so GODDAMN PERFECT!"
"Really? That's what I always thought about you…"
It was ironic, since both really had the most in common with one another than with the rest of those on their teams. Both were famous, had some talent their parents exploited, and knew the oppressive life that fame bought them.
"I mean really! REALLY! It's not enough that you're PYRRHA-FREAKIN'-NIKOS! Mystralian champion! Adored by thousands, NO! you have to be the best in really EVERYTHING!"
"Not everything…"
"Really? Please, almighty one, tell me what Pyrrha-freakin'-Nikos fails at?"
"Romance… apparently."
Not to mention the loneliness.
At the downtrodden tone from the champion, Weiss slowly turned to stare at the redhead.
Pyrrha just sighed in probably the most pathetic, if still strangely adorable, way.
Icy eyes just blinked, "I do not believe you," the white haired girl waved her hands in front of her, "In fact I can't believe you!" she threw her hands up, "You're Pyrrha-freakin'-Nikos! HOW can you fail at romance?!" then grumbled under her breath, "Not to mention anything…"
There was a nervous chuckle from the 'Invincible Girl' as a very unconfident look passed her face, "Very easily… apparently."
Icy blue Schnee eyes bore into the exquisite beauty next to her, "How?!" she waved her hand referencing all of Pyrrha, "Seriously, HOW?! The guy would have to be deaf, mute, and blind with 3rd degree burns covering his entire body and the inability to process memories to not realize this is as close to the perfect Huntress frame as us mere mortals can get!"
All the roundabout praise just made Pyrrha more nervous as she scratched the side of her cheek uncomfortably, "Not… really…"
Weiss sat back in a huff, crossing her arms and glaring at the tall athletically built woman, "Seriously, how?" without uncrossing her arms, the hand nearest Pyrrha waved at her again as the heiress looked away, "You're an incomparable Huntress, unmatched in the arena, flawless skin, cute face, tall, well-'filled out'," she hadn't realized she'd made handgestures until those icy blues glanced over and noticed the champion was blushing and looking like an embarrassed little girl. "Really." Weiss' flat words were accompanied by an equally flat look, "How can someone so obviously capable and menacing look so meek and adorable at a simple compliment?"
"Sorry?" a nervous laugh accompanied the nervous head scratch as the redhead sat on her knees, "Despite all my time with media, I've never really learned to take an honest complement."
Weiss stared at her for a long moment, "Are you for real?"
"Hm?" bright green eyes blinked as Pyrrha looked up confused.
Those icy blue eyes just stared harder as Weiss let slip, "How can someone so perfectly adorable – no, Sweet, Ruby's adorable- and genuinely honest be unable to catch anyone's attention?!" she threw her hands up in the air, not noticing her correction even if Pyrrha did, "People should be lining the walls trying to get a date with you!"
"Eheh…" Pyrrha let the adorable comment drop, for now, as her nervous look became a bit depressed, "I'm sure you know how it feels… Weiss… fame just… makes you unattainable…"
"Pfft," the heiress obliviously waved her hand, dismissing the comment, "Tell that to that leader of yours," she gripped a fist in front of her and glared ahead, "I swear, what does it TAKE for that moron to take a hint I'M-NOT-INTERESTED!" there were blue fires in Weiss Schnee's eyes!
"Heh…" the champion's shoulders slumped as she leaned back to sit against the wall like Weiss.
At the very subdued response, the white haired girl turned her head slowly and stared extra flat at the much taller girl, "You're in love with him aren't you?"
Pyrrha's only response was to tap the tips of her fingers together nervously and allow her face to turn the same shade of red as her hair.
That was all the 'response' Weiss needed, as she turned forward and leaned back against the wall of Beacon the two had escaped to in order to get away from the rest of the crazy on both their teams.
It was quiet for a good long time.
"No wonder you wanted to kill me…"
"You have no idea…"
Pyrrha continued tapping her fingers and Weiss continued staring ahead.
After their comments flat icy blue eyes turned, spotted nervous bright green ones, and the two shared a very subdued, if extremely awkward laugh.
"He's all yours…"
"I know."
Weiss laughed louder at the sheer conviction in the Mystralian's voice, glancing over to spot a moment of that confident warrior she knew the champion to be, "Already staked your claim huh?"
Pyrrha's face went a bit red but she gripped one of her hand in conviction, "I… I will… one day… maybe tell him." Fierce green eyes opened, staring ahead, "For now, I want to help him become the best he can be. That's what's important."
"Not what you want?" a white brow rose, truly interested in this odd shift. She'd never been 'good' at the whole 'romance-thing' either, her family, their paranoia, and the general life she'd lived that she couldn't trust anyone saw to that. So it was somewhat interest to her to see someone with such obvious passion in their eyes for one thing, but supplant it for another. It wasn't a very Schnee thing to not go straight for your goal, no matter the collateral damage.
Pyrrha gave a firm nod, "H-he doesn't see me as more than his partner, and its my duty as his partner to make him the most capable Hunter at Beacon," she gave another firm nod, even if her fist shook, "I-I'm okay… with just being his… friend…" when she said the last word her eyes opened and they were soft again. she'd never had 'real friends' before, so her team, no matter their dynamic, were very precious to her. That was enough… for now.
Weiss just snorted, practically reading everything on the honest woman's face, " 'For now', huh?" a slight smirk rose on the edge of her lips when she noticed the Mystralian blush again, "I guess that's fine." The white heiress turned to her… friend… with a smirk, "So long as I'm there to see you finally claim that idiot for yourself."
Pyrrha's face may have remained red, but she had enough composure to nod firmly, "As long as I'm there when you do the same with Ruby."
Now it was the Schnee heiress' turn to blush, "Wh-WHAT?!"
The redhead's immediate response was to laugh.
A white brow twitched as icy eyes glared at the fiery-irritatingly-tall woman, "What in the world was that about?!"
Pyrrha just giggled behind her hand, "Nothing, nothing…" she waved her hand.
Again the two were silent, this time the champion smirking while the Schnee fumed.
"So…" Weiss started, adamantly looking away, bored, "Any times on getting that dolt to study?"
Pyrrha just smiled, "I have plenty…"
A silent agreement was met.
"JAUNE!"
"Ack! RUBY!"
The two 'friends', thanks to their position of somewhat 'hidden' behind some bushes sitting against Beacon's shaded wall, were privy to a moment where their team leaders slammed into one another. Namely Ruby running frantically into Jaune at top speed without look.
Both Heiress and Champion cringed.
"Uh… Ruby?" Jaune held his head, everything spinning and red, "Wait… stop moving for a sec…
Ruby, being Ruby, did no such thing. Immediately she stood up, dragging Jaune up with her and started frantically bouncing about, "Have you seen Weiss?! She's left without saying a word and I can't find her!"
Jaune just slowly rubbed his head, trying to get the world to stop spinning, spinning was bad, spinning meant he'd get sick, "Wait-what? The snow queen is missing too?"
In the bushes, icy eyes rolled as green ones rose to the sky.
"Yes! She's-wait, what'd'ya mean 'too'?" Ruby's adorable silver eyes blinked before turning on Jaune and tugging his collar, "Who else is missing!"
Jaune, still dizzy, put a hand over his mouth, "P-Pyrrha… was looking for her in all her usual… ugh… places…" why was the ground moving, the ground wasn't supposed to move.
Speaking of the champion, she perked up in surprise, the heiress the only one to notice she turned a few shades of red and snickered as quietly as she could.
"LET'S GO FIND THEM!" Ruby, always excitable, shouted, dragging Jaune with her.
"RUUUUBY! WHY?!"
Once they were gone, Weiss' snicker became full-blown and Pyrrha tried not to blush too much.
"So, that's them?"
"The girl's kinda cute… ow! Hey!"
"Shut it, dumbass…"
Both Pyrrha and Weiss perked up, spotting a boy with grey hair, a girl with green hair, and another with curly brown all dressed in Haven uniforms.
"Yes, that's them," the brunette said with a slithery smooth voice, "They're both leaders, so prime targets…"
The girls in the bushes bristled.
"Yea," the guy with grey hair smirked, "I'll take little red, you want blondie?"
The girl with green hair just rolled her red eyes, "Pass, I've got enough to handle…"
The other two just kept smirking as the trio continued walking.
Both Weiss and Pyrrha continued following the Haven students as they passed with narrow eyes. As soon as they were out of sight…
"So those plans…"
"I'll get the shovels…"
In another universe this conversation never took place.
In this one, thanks to a moment of comradery, Pyrrha Nikos and her partner in crime Weiss Schnee 'handled' a mysterious trio from Haven before anything ever happened. Neither had any idea what their actions, and plans, averted, but for now it provided a bond between the two that would never be broken.
After all, what were friends for?
A/N: short and terribly snarky way of explaining the 'shift' in this world from canon... Pyrrha-freakin'-Nikos and Weiss happened to off Mercury, Emerald and Cinder before stuff went down because their jealous brains interpreted 'evil plans' wrong... i love it XD
Number 26: brings the shovels!
thanks for all those reading! you guys are fun :3
Till next -salute-waves- Sayounara, Mina!
