Chapter 5: The Confession

"Come in." Ozpin was interested in who could be knocking on his door at this hour.

As he had the thought, he saw Ruby walk in with the guy he had seen fighting at the docks.

"Hi, professor!" Ruby exclaimed excitedly. "Sorry to bother you this late at night!"

"It's okay Ruby, who is this with you?"

"This is Sun! He is a person we met over the weekend."

"Yes, I know all about what happened, tell me Ruby, are you okay? That was a nasty shot you took."

"Yeah, I'm fine. But that's not why we're here."

"What are you here for then?"

"I want to stay here at Beacon," Sun cut in. "But I don't have a team, can you give me one?"

"Well, I would give you a new team, but to do that we would need teammates. And we don't have any other new initiates."

"So what will you do?" Ruby asked.

"Well, I have been thinking about this since last night, and I came to the conclusion that you would stay with team RWBY for the time being. Is that okay?" Ozpin quickly looked at Ruby to see if it was sinking in.

"WHAT!?" Ruby yelled. Even Sun seemed taken aback by the turn of events that were unfolding.

"Yes," Ozpin replied calmly. "It appears to be the only logical solution."

"I don't really care, but where would I sleep?" Sun asked.

"You will have to sleep on the ground with a sleeping bag or something."

"Well, I guess I can live with that."

"But he will be in a room of four girls!" Ruby was still not happy with the arrangement.

"Yes, but he has nowhere else to go, and he needs somewhere to sleep."

"Thank you professor." Sun replied. "Ruby let's go."

"Wait," Ozpin called after them. "Sun, I know you are a great fighter, I saw that last night, but you have to go through initiation first."

"Why?" Sun was confused. "You've already put me on a team."

"Well, it's a tradition, and I want to see you fight some more."

"But you said you saw me last night."

"And I want to see you again, report back here tomorrow morning and I will tell you your mission. You are dismissed."

As Sun and Ruby got back to the room, they were greeted by Yang.

"Oh, hi sis!"

"Hey Yang, when did you get back?"

"They got back a minute ago." Weiss answered.

"Ok, so Sun will stay in our room with us."

This, of course, brought outrage throughout the room.

"But he's a boy!" Weiss yelled. "I can't sleep in the same room as a boy!"

"Uh Weiss, you did last night." Yang said.

"But I thought that was a one-time thing."

"But you still tolerated it." Blake broke in.

"Ugh, fine!" Weiss replied in disgust. "Just make sure he finds somewhere to sleep that is not anywhere near me."

And with that, she got up and stormed out of the room.

"So, you're rooming with us, eh?" Yang asked, turning towards Sun in the process.

"Yeah, I guess so." He responded.

"Okay, but I have to lay down some ground rules: 1. Don't walk into the bathroom unannounced. 2. Don't go rummaging through our closets. And most importantly, 3. Stay away from my girlfriend."

"So I take it you were successful today?"

"You could say that." Blake said with a smirk as she came over to Yang and hugged her.

Ruby finally got the picture and pointed at her sister, mouth moving but no sounds coming out.

"Calm down, sis. I'm sure you saw it coming."

"But, but, but-" Ruby fell to the ground in shock. "Why did you never tell me before?"

"Didn't cross my mind."

This was probably the worst thing to say in this situation, but it succeded in getting Ruby back to her feet. She walked out of the room, clearly still in shock, and started off to find Weiss.

"So, that was a thing." Yang exclaimed as she saw the abrupt exit.

"You probably should have told her." Blake said.

"Yeah that would have probably been smart." Sun added.

"But, it does solve the issue of finding somewhere to sleep." Yang said with a mischievous grin.

"How?" Blake asked.

"Because there is now an open bed, ready for someone to sleep in."

"There is?"

"Yes, I have now made the move to your bed, so my old one is ready for Sun to sleep in."

"Are you saying we will be sleeping together?"

"Yep, aren't you excited?"

"Wait, hold up, can we at least change the sheets first?" Sun asked, he had not expected to be promoted from the floor so quickly.

"Yeah, fine whatever." Yang replied, quickly bringing the conversation back towards the possibility of sleeping with Blake. "I can't wait to cuddle with you tonight!"

"Well, why wait? We can do it now." Blake said as she pushed Yang on to their bed.

Blake walked over to Sun before she joined Yang, who was laying on the bed looking quite happy with the proceedings.

"Welcome to the team." Blake walked back to the bed and slid in.

Blake felt arms move around her waist and she reciprocated the gesture.

"I'm just going to let myself out." Sun muttered as he strolled out the door, taking his new book with him.

Ruby walked through the hallways, looking for Weiss. She was clearly distressed.

'How could she not tell me?' She asked herself. 'I'm her sister.'

As she thought this, she heard a strange sound from one of the classrooms, it sounded like crying.

Ruby stealthily moved over to the door the sound was coming from. As she peeked in through the glass, she thought she could see Weiss sitting at a desk with her head in her hands.

Ruby cautiously opened the door as silently as she could, she moved to where Weiss was and laid a hand on her shoulder.

"Oh!" Weiss jumped up and whirled around, only to see Ruby standing in front of her. "I'm sorry, I didn't hear you come in."

"What's wrong?" Ruby asked with a hint of concern in her voice.

"Well, it's just that, um, I mean, you wouldn't understand." Weiss replied as she put her head back in her hands.

"I may not understand it, but you can at least voice them to me."

"Well," Weiss took a deep breath, obviously conflicted as to whether she should tell Ruby or not. Out of options, she gave in and started. "During my time at White Castle, I wanted to date a lot of people, but my parents always said no to every person I brought in. They were convinced that I could not make the decision myself and even tried to marry me to the son of another rich dust company head. So, as the day drew nearer to the marriage, I looked more desperately for ways out. Eventually I made a deal with my parents, I would go to Beacon if I could get out of the engagement. So, to cover their tracks, my parents had my fiancee killed. They made it look like an accident, and people believed them. And now every time I see a happy relationship, I think about all of the people I have loved in the past. And how my parents would kill someone just to keep an insignifigant portion of their reputation alive."

"Weiss, I want you to know, that whatever you have been through, and whatever you will go through in the future, I will be here to help you in any way possible. Even if it is just giving you a shoulder to cry on."

"Thanks Ruby." Weiss stood up and hugged her, already crying on the shoulder promised to her.

"You're welcome Weiss." Ruby whispered into Weiss' ear, feeling the racking sobs breaking the fragile girl in front of her.
