Hi everyone! I'd like to apologize for the long hiatus, life and school like to get mixed up in my pastime and I appreciate all of you waiting, anyway, enough gab! On with the show!

Female Neptune x Male Weiss- Scent of a Woman

Weiss awaited outside of the bathroom, it was a Saturday and he usually likes to start his day off right with a nice hot shower followed by a decent breakfast, the only problem being that he has to share said bathroom with not one, not two, but three girls. Usually it's filled with the overbearing and corrosive scent of perfume, not to mention he nearly cracked his head open because of the asinine amounts of shampoo and conditioner that is always left in the tub. And the… feminine sundries, that are left lying about makes him rather uncomfortable, he misses having his private latrine, it was so clean, so crisp, now it feels like he's just bathing himself in mud. The impatience was growing as he finally let out a barrage of fists on the door "whoever is in there, you better hurry up!"

"Will you please give me a minute!" Yang called, she was the worst, her and her ridiculous hair, the blow drier was going for a solid ten minutes now, no way her hair is still wet; Weiss had half a mind to shorten it some himself. But he knows better, Winter was the same way "it's been fifteen minutes Yang!"

"Shut up! I have a lot of hair!"

"Then cut it!"

"How dare you Weiss Schnee!" He heard the blow drier fall to the ground, and Yang flung the door open, he expected her to wear a towel, but nope, Weiss immediately looked away "you know how I feel about people touching my hair!"

"Y-Yes I do, just please hurry up I feel repulsive not having taken a shower yet."

"Wait. Five. Minutes." And with that, the door slammed, and he was left to his own devices again, out of the blue, Blake handed him a cup of coffee "thank you."

"You're welcome; one can get tired waiting for the bathroom to open up." They took a sip together, Weiss and Blake never saw eye to eye during the beginning of their relationship, but overtime, and some thorough convincing, Weiss warmed up to the Faunus. Usually he would shun them, but he's had a different outlook, or is starting to have one "who's in there?"

"Yang."

"That explains everything."

"Indeed, but can I ask you something Blake?"

"Shoot."

"Why do women, take so long in the bathroom, she's been in there for well over half an hour."

"That's… hard to explain, some girls take longer than others, if you were born one maybe you would understand a bit better."

"I have a sister, but she didn't take this long."

"I can hear you two out there!" Yang flung the door open once more, this time she was nice enough to wrap herself in a towel "it's free your majesty."

"Finally you recognize me and my royalty, only took you several months" Yang grunted and sped off to her room to get dressed "thank you for the coffee Blake."

"It'll be in the microwave when you get out; Ruby was going to go get breakfast for us." Weiss nodded and dove into the bathroom 'oh sweet maidens' he leaned on the door, but he was assaulted by various scents of fruits and chemicals, so much so his stomach flipped. He really needs to pay someone to install a vent or a window, looking at the sink it was completely decimated with razors, three different blow driers, a straightener, pounds of makeup, and various other womanly tools 'I need a vacation.' Don't get him wrong, their the sisters he never knew he wanted, but all of the femininity can grate a man's nerves, not to mention he rarely gets a moment of peace inside of his own dorm, but he doesn't need to think about that now. What he really needs is to wash up; yesterday's events had him sweating like a mad man, eliminating Grimm in a simulation room followed by team exercises followed by physical conditioning followed by sparring, too tired to pick up his feet properly.

With Glee Weiss jumped into the shower and proceeded to wash all of the grime and grit away, feeling reborn, he smiled feeling the dirt wash out of his hair and covering his body in cleansing soap. After about five minutes he stepped out of the shower and dried himself off and dressing himself, ten minutes flat he was cleaned, dry, and dressed, and he asked his question again, how and why do women take so long? He approached the blonde, who, by the way, most likely took damn near an hour in the bathroom "see how long that took Yang?"

"Don't test me Schnee" she bit, Weiss stopped prodding the beast "where's Ruby?"

"She went to a restaurant to pick up some breakfast, why?"

"I can't wonder where our team leader is on a Saturday?"

"No" Yang said drinking her coffee "never took you for someone who liked coffee Yang."

"I don't, I'm just hungry." Weiss gave up, seeing Blake dressed and nearly out the door "and where are you going Blake?"

"Sun wanted to meet up for a bit, is that a problem dad?"

"I would just like to know where my team is at is all."

"It's a Saturday Weiss, not a battleground."

"Mind if I tag along? I've been cooped up in this school for what feels like days."

"Yeah, if Yang is fine being left alone?" Yang shrugged "I have ways of entertaining myself."

"We know Yang" Weiss began "we heard your 'entertainment' last night!"

"You know what Schnee!" Weiss hopped out of the room before Yang could get a hold of the boy, Blake shook her head "you have some brass Weiss."

"I never realized the joy in messing with people, and now, I do" Blake giggled and lead the way to the rendezvous point where she would meet up with Sun, Weiss liked the boy, the monkey was alright in his book. Though sometimes his pranks were a bit more then Weiss could deal with

\/\/\/\/\/

/\/\/\/\/\

"And, that's why I don't really like being in a dorm with a boy" Blake finished, Weiss didn't know if he should feel insulted for himself, or for the entire male gender. From what Blake just explained, some men are pigs, but women aren't without their faults either, and the two went back and forth about which gender was superior, though it was all in good fun… mostly. "Well, at least we arrive to events on time."

"If that's the case, please tell me where Sun is" he was about to be cornered, but, Sun wandered around in looking for his favorite Faunus "right there." Blake waved him down "you got lucky Weiss."

"Sure I did" Weiss saw the cheerful chimp wave back, but he noticed that a rather eccentric looking girl was with him, but with hair that blue she should be happy looking "hey Sun!"

"Blake!" The two hugged, and Weiss got a good look at the girl, she had a relaxed demeanor, hands in her pockets, nonchalantly looking around the room as the monkey and the cat talked to day away, forgetting about the third and fourth wheels "y'know Sun" she spoke, she had a very soothing voice. It was deep, but not masculine, it was very… proper, for a lady of her stature "I am still here."

"Right, sorry" Sun cleared his throat "Blake, Weiss this is my bestest friend Neptune."

"Oh stop you" Neptune gave Blake a smile and a nod "well, Neptune this is my teammate, and my somewhat friend."

"Classy Blake."

"Weiss Schnee" Weiss gently gripped her hand, and he felt a charge course through his limbs, something strange, tricking his body into thinking the heat was on "Neptune" she said with a small smile "the pleasure is mine Ms. Neptune."

Weiss let go and he felt the shock leave his body, he racked his brain trying to decipher such a feeling, or if he even experienced something remotely like that before, none that he could remember "well, now that we're all here, what's the plan for today Blake?"

"Do you remember the date?" Sun was in trouble, he played it off well, but a woman knows these things "it's the… uh, tenth?"

"The fourteenth, do you remember what you promise me?" Again, Sun looked as if he had a gun to his head, Weiss couldn't stop himself from chuckling along with Neptune next to him, something about her giggle made his stomach turn, in a good way of course. Weiss turned his attention back to the episode being performed "yeah… I do."

"No you don't."

"You're right, I'm sorry" Blake shook her head with a disappointing sigh "well, you promised to take me to the premiere of that new movie."

"Right!" He stopped dead, Weiss took this opportunity to talk to Neptune "is Sun always this…"

"Airheaded?"

"I was going to say forgetful, but I like yours a lot better" Neptune giggled again, but she only gave a shrug as her response "usually he's pretty good with remembering important things, but with Blake, you can see he's…"

"Airheaded?"

"That's the word" they shared a tiny laugh amongst each other "are you a student at Beacon Ms. Neptune?"

"Nope, but I plan on transferring, Haven academy has been pretty lackluster as of late."

"Really? You're from Mistral?"

"Born and raised there, it was alright" she shrugged it off "I like Beacon a lot more."

"How so?"

"Besides the fact that this has the highest graduation rate out of all of the academies, I saw that foodfight with you and Blake and the others" Weiss cleared his throat and awkwardly adjusted himself, not really wanting anybody to know about how he practically ruined the very cafeteria they are conversing in "yes, I hope that it was a good first impression?" Neptune gave a smug smirk, arms crossed and hips cocked "I'll say, you were very good with that swordfish."

"Oh… well, thank you."

"Sure thing" they turned to see that the two Faunus were missing, both Blake and Sun has apparently ditched them "well, that's fantastic" Weiss complained "ah well, who needs them?"

"I believe we don't, do we?"

"You're darn right, we can have fun by ourselves" she emphasized the word 'fun' and gifted Weiss with a wink and a simper, he felt a bit hot under the collar "did you have anything in mind?"

"Well, on the subject of movies, I figure we could go and see one, it is the weekend, and last time I checked we have fun on weekends am I right?"

"You're not wrong."

"Alrighty, you're driving."

"What makes you think that I have a car?"

"Please, a Schnee without a ride? That's like a chef without a knife."

"Point taken" they continued to spew nonsense, laughing and smiling at each other, all the while Weiss was feeling these strange waves of temperature differentiation, even though it was a cool fall day he was boiling. His stomach was throwing itself around like it had a mind of its own, not to mention that sometimes he would babble like an idiot when his vocabulary is limitless. Nonetheless Neptune seemed to not mind, or ignore it, or spend time with him because she had nothing else better to do.

Weiss suppressed these feelings down until he could get a solid grasp on what they exactly were, maybe one of his teammates will tell him, if they even know what he's going through.

The pair wandered through the city of Vale, parading through shop to shop talking about mundane and uninteresting things, but to Weiss they seemed interesting. To be completely honest he's never had much experience with women, more specifically dealing with the feelings he's getting, the odd sickly hot-cold feeling that overtakes his entire body. The awful pit that twists in his stomach and makes him want to throw up, but not actually throw up, these feelings he hated and wanted to go away, but the only way for them to go away would be to part from Neptune, but he also likes being around Neptune, the human body is weird "hey Weiss!" Said heir turned at the mention of his name, and saw Neptune in all of her glory. Her alluring blue hair, smooth voice, porcelain skin, it made those abhorrent feelings come back again "what do you think?" Neptune revealed herself in a deep blue dress, a shade deeper from matching her hair, it highlighted her figure fantastically, Weiss felt himself get a bit hot wondering what was underneath the clothing, and him wanting to know what was underneath made him all the more warm "it looks very flattering Neptune, you should get it."

"I should, shouldn't I?" Neptune played with the frills of the dress, eventually finding the tag "but I can't."

"And why not?" Weiss snagged the price tag, and it was a ridiculous amount for a piece of fabric, near two hundred dollars for a seemingly simple dress "oh my."

"Yep, it's one hundred and eighty dollars more than I'd like to spend" Neptune frowned "damn, I really wanted this to, ah well, there's got to be something else around here that's nice and cheap."

"Would you like me to hold onto it whilst you look around?"

"Oh you're such a gentlemen."

"I do try" Neptune giggled that perfect giggle, hopping into the changing room his pocket buzzed, and it was Blake on the scroll. He frowned, but answered "hello Blake"

"I can see that you've figured out Sun and I, uh, disappeared"

"I did, but I must thank you."

"Okay, might I ask why?"

"You've given me a moment with possibly the most attractive woman I've had the pleasure to accompany."

"Don't know exactly how to take that, so I'll just say you're welcome" Weiss chuckled "now, I do have a favor to ask while you're out and about."

"Sure."

"Could you possibly pick up something for stomach pains?"

"Not feeling to well?"

"I don't know what it could possibly be, ever since I started walking with Neptune I found myself queasy and not at one hundred percent" Blake snickered, Weiss was flustered "is something funny Blake?"

"I'm sorry I just… oh Weiss, you're so oblivious."

"Oh am I?"

"Indeed, what do you feel?" Weiss described his symptoms to Blake "you like her."

"I'm sorry?"

"Weiss, you like her, you like being around her, you like looking at her, you like talking to her, as long as it involves Neptune, you're going to keep those feelings."

"So… how do I get rid of them?"
"As scary as it seems you can try asking her out, but that's completely up to you, you guys just met."

"We've been having a good time so far" Weiss snuck a glance at Neptune surfing through a hanger of dresses, Neptune looked back and gave him a smirk, Weiss felt the heat turn on in his face again "so, what've you got to lose?"

"Nothing except my pride" Weiss drew a sharp breath "alright, wish me luck."

"You'll do fine, have fun!" Weiss hung up, and returned to his companion "any luck finding anything else Neptune?"

"I'm afraid not, maybe we walked into the expensive store by accident" Weiss chuckled "did you still want that blue dress?"

"Of course I do" Weiss said nothing, only revealing his card "you're going to buy it for me?"

"I will, but I have something to ask you first."

"Shoot" Weiss took a deep breath, collecting and organizing his thoughts, looking Neptune into the clear pools of blue that just seemed to warble and move in the light. Weiss smiled "I would like you to accompany me tonight, perhaps dinner at a nice place? My treat" he waved the little sliver of plastic, Neptune eyed the card, and Weiss, and the dress "I don't think I really need the dress" Weiss's heart immediately shattered, he tried his best to show it, but having everything happen so fast made him angry and sad at the same time "I see…"

"You didn't let me finish" Weiss sighed "I don't need the dress, I have plenty at home, and you don't need to take me out to an incredibly expensive place." Weiss smiled as Neptune grabbed his hand "a local diner would be just as nice, as long as my company is good" the two locked eyes again, Weiss always gets woozy when such a thing happens "I think I'll have a decent time."

"Good… I'm glad" Weiss and Neptune continued shopping around, not for anything, just to spend time still. Weiss was amped up on adrenaline, happy, elated about tonight, he managed to get a date, a date with someone he was immediately attracted to. In a time when everything is fairly bleak and the future is unsure, Weiss is happy to know that the little things make him that much happier.

That, and he might get his first kiss tonight.
