The dark, red tinted room of Team RWBY was silent. Weiss looked deeply into Ruby's eyes before saying "Did I ever tell you how I got the scar?..." Ruby shook her head. Weiss lowered her head and began explaining. "when I was six years old; I was asleep in my room, alone, just down the hall from my parents..." she took a breath and continued, "I woke up because I thought I'd heard something; I went to go investigate and found my parents room door open. Something felt off, so I went to go check it out…" Her voice began to tremble and her eyes became watery. Ruby rubbed her right arm gently, frowning. "He… There was a man, standing beside my father's sleeping body. He had a double sided axe in his hands… He was holding it above my father… Naturally, as a little girl I screamed, and I woke up my mother and father, and of course caught the attention of the man trying to kill my parents…" Ruby looked stunned; she was filled with anger and sadness. She wanted to kill this man who had brought Weiss such hardship, but knew there was nothing she could do. "He came after me, and I was too scared to move… My mother, she…" she took in a few more shaky breaths, "The man swung his axe at me, and my mother pulled him back. The axe grazed my eye, but I almost lost it…" Ruby gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. "All I remember is crying on the floor, my mother's screams as the axe… The axe sliced her open…" She began sobbing, rubbing her eyes vigorously. "My father ran over to me and lifted me from the ground, I was bloody and covered in tears… The man had been assigned to assassinate my family; including me. If I… if I hadn't woken up… I.." Ruby pulled her into a tight hug and she began sobbing into Rubys shoulder again.
She gripped Ruby's pyjama top tightly, letting out deep shaky breaths and sobbing. Ruby stroked the girl's smooth white hair, resting her chin on top of Weiss' head. "I would've… I-I would've…!" She cried, letting out little whimpers. "Shh, shh, it's okay, you're fine now…" Ruby fought back tears of her own, seeing Weiss in this state. Ruby could feel wet patches on her pyjamas, and Weiss showed no sign of stopping anytime soon, but she didn't care. Weiss needed her now; it didn't matter if her she got a little damp.
It took a good half hour for the heiress to completely calm down; her breathing steady, her whimpering and shaking had finally sub-sided as well. Ruby slid out from the grip Weiss had on her and started climbing back up onto her bed when she felt a light tugging at the bottom of her vest. She arched a brow and looked to see if it had been caught on something, what she saw was a lightly blushing Weiss who was glancing to the side. "What is it, Weiss?" Ruby whispered, now standing firmly on the ground. "Could… Could you…" she stuttered, blinking and glancing at the younger female, her blush turning a darker hue of red. "Could you sleep with me… please?"
Ruby's cheeks were tinted pink with a faint blush of her own, "Yeah, sure; why not?" she smiled. Weiss got under the sheets and shifted over so that Ruby would have room to climb in. She lay on her side, facing towards Blake and Yang's set of bunk beds; if you could call them that. She closed her eyes, but they shot back open when she felt a slender pair of arms wrap around her waist. "W-Weiss?!" She said in a harsh whisper, glancing down. "Just shut up and go to sleep…" Ruby could practically feel the heat of Weiss' face and smiled slightly. "Y-yes, mam." Weiss rolled her eyes before closing them and nuzzling into Ruby's hair. She smelled of roses.
/ This one's a little shorter than the last one, sorry.
Let me know if you want me to continue this. :)
