The Secrets that Lie
Keeping secrets from my own sister Yang. I don't know if she would judge me for my sexual preferences. I felt a sickness in the pit of my stomach.
"Ruby? Ruby," Blake nudged her.
"Huh? Oh, what is it Blake?" Ruby asked.
"Class is done. Yang and Weiss went ahead to the lunch room," she told Ruby.
I got up and walked with Blake. The thoughts racing in my head. What Yang would say and/or do? If Weiss and I were a serious couple. We haven't told each other we love one another. Though the pleasure that goes on between us.
"Ruby, there's something I know about you. Or do I mean you and Weiss," Blake spoke up.
"Whaaaa… what makes you think that Blake," Ruby asked cautiously.
Is it possible that Blake knew about Weiss and me in a taboo relationship? What exactly does she want because it had to be blackmail.
"Well you've acted differently around Weiss. I can see how Weiss has been meaner to you. Not that it bothers you," she said and looked at Ruby.
Say something Ruby, just lie. Lie like your life depends on it. Blake can't know this and blackmail the both of us.
Blake tapped on Ruby's shoulder, "I won't tell anyone. Your sexual preferences are your choice. You're probably hiding it for some reason. Maybe your upbringing and all. Lets get going and don't worry."
Ruby sighed, Thank God that wasn't too problematic. I know Weiss and I have been together for a couple months so far. When would be a good time to ask her how serious our relationship is so far?
The team was eating lunch and talking about classes. Weiss noticed Ruby probably fantasizing all sorts of things between them. "Our leader can be a pain sometimes," Weiss spoke out.
Yang laughed and said, "Like my sister can be phased by the truth. You'll have to try another way to get her attention."
"Maybe your sister is thinking about love or someone she's in love with?" Blake suggested.
I ate my food slowly and surely but barely heard what the others were talking about. Then I felt Weiss' cool touch under the table. She was playing footsie with me. Act calm, don't smile too much or the others will notice something's up.
"My sister isn't one for thinking about love or romance. If I meet a guy and like him. That's just it for me but I'll still be a huntress," Yang said and took a bite of her apple.
I saw Blake have a mischievous grin and I started to panic a little and I accidently reacted by reflex that kicked Weiss in the leg.
"Ow, you dunce! What did I do to you?!" Weiss in an outburst.
"Oh! I'm sorry. Must've been a nervous reflex or something." Ruby said and blushed embarrassed that she might have soured the moment.
Later in the day, Weiss invited Ruby to head to town for a couple things. This is it. Weiss is going to break things off. I know all good things come to an end but I didn't want it to end. If Blake hadn't made me react the way I did.
Weiss sat down at the bench and Ruby sat a distance from her. "What's wrong Ruby? You've been funny since lunch time. Tell me what's wrong."
Should I tell her? I don't know what to do. Things could change and yet I can't keep this secret. Or was it a secret honestly? "Weiss, I don't know what to do or say. I feel like it might change things," Ruby spoke up.
"What are you talking about Ruby? You can tell me." Weiss reassured.
Ruby took a deep breath and said, "Blake knows about us Weiss. I'm scared she'll tell Yang."
Weiss took Ruby's hands and spoke up, "What did she say to you Ruby?"
"Well she said how she wouldn't tell and my preferences are my choice and all," she said.
"So what are you worried about?" Weiss asked.
"I don't know. I guess I didn't think it out," Ruby told Weiss and sighed in relief.
"You dolt," she told her sweetly and hugged her.
I can't believe I got worked up over nothing. I'm glad Weiss helped me see this through. What would I do if she wasn't around. I love her, I knew that much.
