Oooh, what will Weiss do with Ruby?
Ruby stepped out of her car and took her helmet off, and was immediately wrapped in a crushing hug by her sister.
"You won sis!" said Yang happily.
"Good observation Yang..." said Ruby, voice muffled.
Ruby smiled though because no matter what happened on the track, Yang would always be rooting for Ruby.
The two broke their embrace, and started to walk to the podium. Ruby saw Weiss was still getting out of her car, and immediately started worrying again.
'Will she be mad?' 'Will she not be mad? Will she be absolutely furious?'
All these thought were going through her head, and before she knew it, Weiss was in front of her.
"Eek! Hey Weiss..."
"Ruby." Weiss' face was completely neutral, making it impossible for Ruby to tell what she was feeling right now.
"Look, I'm sorry, I know it was selfish, and-"
"Ruby," interrupted Weiss, with a laugh.
Wait? She laughed?
"It's fine. I completely understand! I would have probably done the same in your position," said Weiss, putting a hand on Ruby's shoulder. "I don't care, okay?"
Ruby's face lit up as she realised Weiss wasn't mad.
"You mean you're not mad?"
Weiss rolled her eyes. "Ruby, did you even listen to what I just said?" she asked with a laugh.
Ruby nodded vigourously. "Yes! Of course I listened to you! I'm not rude, I always-"
Weiss cut Ruby off again by putting a finger to her lips. "Ruby. Stop blabbering..."
Ruby nodded, keeping silent.
Yang had been watching the scene unfold with amused interest. "Well, if you lovebirds are finished, we need to get up on that podium!" And with that, Yang quickly walked towards the podium area, leaving Ruby and Weiss.
"Should we go then?" asked Ruby.
Weiss nodded, and the two followed Yang in order to start the celebrations.
Ruby sat in front of the TV with a huge pile of cookies in front of her on the coffee table. Next to her, sat Weiss, and on another sofa on the left, sat Blake and Yang. The two couples sat contentedly watching a sappy rom-com.
This time, to celebrate, instead of going out to the club and getting wasted, the four of them just decided that they would have a relaxing night in. Ruby smiled as she snuggled closer to Weiss, the older girl's embrace keeping her warm. Weiss responded by pulling Ruby even closer to her, which made the younger girl's smile grow even wider.
Ruby leaned forwards, reluctantly leaving their snuggling, and grabbed two cookies. She kept one and offered the other one to Weiss.
Weiss didn't normally eat sweet foods (That's why she has a frosty personality ;)) but thought that it would make Ruby happy, even more happier than she already was, so she accepted the offer and took a bite from the cookie. She rolled her eyes when Ruby scoffed hers in one go.
"Ruby, don't stuff food in your mouth like that," she gently reprimanded, nudging her girlfriend.
"Schorry Weishh" mumbled Ruby, trying to quickly swallow the cookie.
"Aww, look at the lovebirds," said Yang with a grin, seemingly oblivious to the fact that she was snuggled up next to Blake in a similar position to Ruby and Weiss.
"You're the one to talk," said Blake with a smirk, picking up with this.
"Shush kitty," said Yang, turning to Blake and poking her nose.
Soon, the film had finished, and Ruby yawned, stretching her arms.
"Bed time Ruby," said Yang with a smirk, as she picked Ruby up and ran with her in her arms all the way to Ruby's room, despite the younger girl's protests to put her down.
Yang dumped Ruby on the bed and ran off laughing.
Ruby mumbled about stuff she would do to Yang next time she saw her sister. Suddenly, the door opened, and Weiss' head peeked round the door. Ruby's face lit up immediately, all ill thoughts about Yang gone.
"Weiss!"
"Hey, Ruby, I'm gonna be leaving now, so I just wanted to say goodbye," said Weiss, smiling softly.
Ruby nodded. "Okay Weiss, bye... I guess I'll see you on Friday at practice then?"
"Of course, bye Ruby..."
Weiss turned to leave, but then Ruby called out to her. "Weiss, could you stay with me for a bit longer?"
"I'm not sure Ruby, it's almost midnight..."
"Pretty please?" asked Ruby.
Weiss sighed. Ruby was giving her the puppy eyes. No-one could escape from them.
"Okay, I'll stay," said Weiss, and she walked into the room, sitting on the edge of Ruby's bed where the younger girl was sleeping.
"Thanks Weiss," said Ruby with a smile.
Weiss returned the smile. "It's okay Ruby..."
Ruby pulled Weiss' hand towards her, before interlocking their fingers together. They both smiled at each other, and they both sat in silence, not an awkward one though, but a calm one.
Eventually, Ruby found her eyelids drooping, and she knew she wouldn't be awake that much longer.
"Thanks again for staying with me Weiss," said Ruby as she yawned. She met Weiss' gaze, and smiled.
"I love you Weiss..." she said sleepily.
Weiss blushed. She hadn't heard those words in a long time. Her mother had passed away, and her father rarely spent time with her anyway, after they got into a disagreement about Weiss' future career. Weiss' father was a wealthy businessman who owned a tele-com company. He had wanted Weiss to inherit the company, but Weiss' mind was set on becoming a Formula One driver. This had led to many arguments and disputes, making several years of her life really tough. Eventually, she had gone against her father's wishes, and since then, he had little to do with her. The only person in her family that did care was her younger sister Winter, but Weiss hadn't seen her in a long time.
Weiss had often felt very lonely during those times, which was why she was frosty to Ruby at first, due to little social interaction, but she thought that if anyone could make her feel not so alone now, it would be Ruby.
Ruby felt herself drifting off, closer to slumber, but before she succumbed to it, she felt Weiss kiss her on the forehead gently, before whispering on the skin.
"I love you too, you dunce..."
Ruby smiled just before her eyes closed, and she fell into a peaceful sleep.
N'aww, how cute :D Sorry this chapter's short, but this is why I'm releasing this on a Wednesday, as this isn't a normal update time. I normally do Monday and Friday, and I think this chapter can stand alone anyway. But don't fret, the Friday one will cover the whole of the Grand Prix, Practice, Qualifying, and the race. Until next time folks :D
