Blake's cane tapped against the sidewalk; she felt the sun's heat on her body. She smiled and looked over at her teammate, who had become extremely shy over the past week. The azure eyes still contained some uneasiness about this idea, but Weiss owed the girl this.
"Are you ok, Weiss?" Blake asked, giving the other girl a slight nudge.
The Schnee snapped out of her daze, "Oh, uh, yeah, I'm great"
"Are you sure? You still seem..jumpy about this...date thing"
"D-Don't say that!" Weiss blushed, checking her surrounds for anyone.
Blake chuckled, "Keep yourself in your skin."
Weiss sighed, "I'm just still nervous about this and Ruby and Yang, she we tell them? How would we tell them?"
"We'll make a plan later, because right now, it's just us, Ice Queen," Blake gave her best Torchwick impression, which she had been improving on ever since she recieved cane.
"I thought you said you were going to stop that?"
"I would, but you know, It really grows on you" She gave Weiss a Roman patented chuckle.
"I think Blake started with, 'I still never got an answer about the dream. The one about us.'" Pyrrha read aloud to Jaune. The champion had seen the two girls passing notes in the library before Weiss had ran off with Blake following; she had snatched the used paper to attempt and gather some information. Jaune had refused to let her read it before, respecting the girls' privacy; but after they heard about the stabbing, they needed to know anything about the situation at hand.
"Weiss said, 'It could be an indicator for something.' Then Blake wrote back, 'Do you think there is a chance that we might? You know?' And that's when Weiss left."
"That's it?" Arc asked, surprised at the low word count.
Pyrrha nodded, "Yup. Blake managed to push Weiss over the edge for some reason with two sentences." She scratched her head, thinking.
"Blake said something about a dream about both of them, so what happened in that dream to ask if they were 'You know'"
Jaune cited, "Maybe they 'looove' each other."
He received a swift punch from Pyrrha, "Come on, be serious! We need to figure this out; maybe we need some fresh air to clear our heads" She scolded
He gave Pyrrha a nervous chuckle, "We could head to that new café that opened-" He was yanked out of the room before speaking another word.
Weiss pushed a door open, setting off a bell. "Welcome to the Emerald Tree Café! Please help yourself to any seat you'd like!" A greeter welcomed the girls as they took a step in. They took in the relaxing café environment; the brightly lit place that was crafted with a modern combination of birch wood and chrome metal, to set the mood was a live jazz group playing a calm tune. The couple sat at a short table, next to a window that stretched from the floor to the ceiling.
"I should come here more often" Blake said, "Yang isn't here."
"Are you ok?" Weiss questioned
Amber-eye blinked at the Schnee, "Well, it doesn't hurt to walk anymore"
"No, I mean...you've been really, uh, talkative...it's somewhat unsettling"
"Oh..uh, well to be honest-"
"Welcome to the Emerald Tree! Have you two branched out into your menu selections?" A waiter interrupted
After ordering the bell ran as somebody walked into the café; Weiss' eyes widened, she dashed off into the nearby restroom. Blake turned around slightly before snapping back, she groaned from the pain in her abdomen; Pyrrha and Jaune had entered the bistro. She dug her face deep into the menu, hoping not to be spotted by JNPR members.
Blake's scroll vibrated, she pulled the device from her pocket, it was a message from Weiss.
"Come into the bathroom..." She read softly to herself from behind the menu. Blake snatched her cane and quickly walked off.
Jaune flipped over a page in the menu, Pyrrha just rubbed her temples, trying to understand the conflict between their friends.
"You need to take a break, Pyrrha, get a drink or something."
The girl sighed, "Sorry, I'm just working alone on this"
"Look, I don't have the slightest clue. Maybe we should just ask them, instead of trying to gather information from behind their backs."
Two girls held up menus over their faces as they sidestepped past Pyrrha and Jaune.
"Oof!" One girl tripped and fell to the floor, attracting the attention of many.
"Weiss?" Arc asked, recognizing her.
Blake folded her menu and held it behind her back, "Wow, it's weird seeing you two here!" She attempted to seem anonymous.
Pyrrha shook her head slightly, "Uh, yeah...what are you and Weiss doing here?"
"J-Just talking," The Schnee responded
"So, how's the...?" Jaune pointed to his abdomen.
"O-Oh, that? That's doing fine, it's healing well." Blake nodded.
"Hey, so what's-" Arc started before getting a punch to his arm from Pyrrha.
"What's your day been like?" She tried to keep the blonde from exposing them.
Weiss dawned a suspicious look, "Uh...Good...but we have to leave now...goodbye!"
Weiss and Blake casually walked off.
"That was close..." Blake announced, as she sat on her bunk.
"What were you going to say?" Weiss quickly changed the subject.
She tilted her head, "What do you mean?"
"Back at the Emerald Tree, the waiter cut you off."
"Oh, I...I've felt more comfortable around you, I feel like I don't have to constrain myself to meet other's standards anymore." Blake's eyes wandered off only to be brought back to attention by Weiss lifting her up.
"Blake… you were the first person to set aside where I came from...and just look at me...for who I am, so I am happy to return the favor."
The two girls leaned in for a kiss, their lips barely grazing each other when suddenly.
"What are you doing?!" Yang and Ruby shouted
AN: Yes I'm evil, muahahahaha! Oh, I love cliffhangers.
