Weiss
As she finished tying off Ruby's light bandage, she heard the two voices, coming up to the dorm. Steeling herself Weiss straightened herself turning away from Ruby after giving her girlfriend a quick nod of assurance, which visibly calmed the redhead while simultaneously steeling her own resolve.
As the door swung open to reveal, Yang and Blake who were deep in conversation, not seeming to even notice the White Rose pair.
"I'm telling you Blake, we have to go there tomorrow night. They have the best fish tacos you have ever eaten." Yang said excitedly.
"Yang, just because I'm a cat Faunus doesn't mean I love fish." Blake sighed, just now noticing Weiss and Ruby.
Yang, being completely oblivious to her sister and the heiress, continued. "Yeah I know but you'll like it anyways. You do love it when I scratch your ears!"
"Yang, could you shut up, please?" Blake asked sickly sweet as she stared at the now very amused Weiss and Ruby.
"Aw, then whats that purring noise you make when I do it?…" Yang asked, quietly lowering her voice when she turned mid sentence to realize they were not alone in the room.
The four girls awkwardly stared at each other for a few minutes before Ruby burst out in a brief bout of laughter in an attempt to lighten the mood, only for it to die down when she realized it was not working. Not wanting to leave Ruby alone in the hole she had dug for herself, Weiss coughed and ended the silence. Or she would have liked to if she had been able to talk. As she tried to speak, she immediately realized her mistake and doubled over coughing. Quickly recomposing herself as Ruby grabbed her hand and looked at her with a concerned expression, Weiss bit her lip and motioned to Ruby to let go and pass her the notepad she had been using. Once Weiss had the notepad in her possession, she quickly scribbled out what she had intended to be a dramatic tension breaking comment filled with confidence. Weiss then handed the note to a slightly befuddled Yang to read.
"Yang, I'm sorry for everything I've done to you and your sister. I have caused Ruby so much pain and hardship for the future. I have caused you so much suffering and I have forced you to see something done to your little sister which I would not wish on anyone, and I know the pain is excruciating and I can't help take that pain away as fully and effectively as I would want, but I am trying and will continue to try to for as long as I live. The only consolation I can give you right now is that Ruby means more to me than anyone else, her life is worth far more to me than my own, and if I could switch places I would do it in an instant. Yang, I love Ruby and as long as you will let me, I will protect Ruby and help her through every trouble she should ever face. So please do what you want to me so you can feel better, just as long as you don't let Ruby watch and you let me protect her afterwards."
As Yang dropped the note, there was a flash of light and four glyphs appeared at the end of each of Weiss' limbs fastening her into place preventing her from moving.
Yang glanced at Blake, "Get Ruby out of here for a little while."
Swallowing nervously, not quite understanding what was going on but deciding to take Yangs' lead she walked over to Ruby and tried to persuade Ruby to come with her.
"Weiss? Yang? What are you two going to do? Weiss?! Yang?! Please answer me, what are you going to do?!" Ruby asked,
slowly growing more violent as the concern in her grew along with the realization of what was most likely taking place. Forcing Blake away from her Ruby stood and walked up to Yang.
"Yang, I swear if you do this again…" Ruby started.
Cutting her off Weiss said "Don't worry Ruby we are just going to chat for a bit, if you let us do that alone for a while I will make sure to make you some cookies or something. Okay?"
Ruby looked at Weiss, then to Yang, "If I fined out anything at all happened, you won't like what I will do" She said.
Then Ruby slowly backed out of the room being pulled by Blake, not once disconnecting her eye contact with Yang promising possible retribution, up until the door clicked shut. As her girlfriend was pulled out of the room by Blake, Weiss could't help but be relieved.
Now Ruby won't have to see it like last time, maybe we can finally start to move forward once Yang does what needs to be done. Weiss thought calmly.
Steeling herself for the blows to come, Weiss clenched her muscles inside her Glyphs, trying to prepare for the future torture. Only for it not to come. Instead of a bone shattering rain of punches and kicks, Weiss felt a tender, caring almost motherly embrace engulf her.
She was not at all prepared for this, this act of compassion, especially not from someone who should want her dead. As Yang spoke, Weiss started to feel warm salty drops start to patter across her back and shoulder.
"Weiss, Weiss I was wrong to do all of that to you, I know that you didn't want what happened to Ruby to happen, but I couldn't help myself I was just filled with a rage at everyone and everything. I was so grief stricken and hateful towards the unfairness of the world, and I had to get it out and you just happened to be the perfect conduit for it. So I hurt someone Ruby loves, and who loves Ruby just like me. All I can tell you is how sorry I am. I know you must feel horrible, but don't blame yourself sometimes these things just, happen… "
Yang disengaged slightly from Weiss' shoulder to look her in the eyes, amazingly her normally lilac eyes had lost some of the red tint and had become more dark blue than lilac. Yang gave a small smile to the heiress, and pulled her into another hug, more Yang like or bear like than the last one.
"Also thanks Ice Queen, I hope you know that I really appreciate your promise to keep her safe, just make sure to remember that you aren't the only one looking out for her." Yang said.
Disbelieving, Weiss let her glyphs dissipate and as they disappeared she let her arms encircle Yang and return the hug she was being given. Feeling the prickly sting of her own tears coming to the surface she thought,
Damn it Yang, why did you have to go and make me cry too?
Weiss hiccuped and sobbed lightly into Yangs shoulder, although with Weiss' throat injury it came out more like a few raspy coughs. Suddenly The door flung open to Ruby and a reluctant Blake.
Ruby
"Why did you do that?" Ruby hissed at Blake.
"Well Yang told us to leave, and Weiss didn't seem opposed to it." Blake said unsure of how to handle Ruby in this situation.
"If you are really concerned about what might happen, you can listen to make sure nothing is happening." Blake suggested hopefully.
Glaring at Blake, Ruby nodded lightly and spun on her heels, walking quietly to the door of their dorm listening intently for any sign of violence. Once she arrived she could tell that Yang was talking but couldn't quite understand what she was saying. Although once she heard a rasping cough from her own girlfriend, Ruby lifted her boot and kicked as hard as she could, slamming the unlocked door against the inside wall of the dorm. Though instead of a scene of blood and violence that Ruby expected to see, she was amazed and very confused by the scene with which she was presented.
Inside the room Weiss and Yang were clutching at each other in a deep embrace, crying on each others shoulders. Rubys' jaw dropped, she had no IDEA how this had happened. Convinced she was seeing things she rubbed her eyes to just see the same thing when she opened them. By this time Yang and Weiss let go of each other both of them smiling and wiping away tears from their faces. Stepping up to Ruby, Yang bent down picked up her sister in a bear hug,
"Don't worry there is no way I would hurt some one who loves you as much as I do. Not anymore at least." Yang said, quickly pecking her little sister on the forehead.
"Now go appreciate her, will ya?" Yang said, chuckling under her breath.
Did they make up or something? Well I will get Weiss' side of the story later, as long as I don't have to worry anymore, I'm happy! Ruby thought as she crossed the room to pounce on Weiss.
Catching Ruby in her outstretched arms, Weiss smiled and unlike Yang gave Ruby a very unsisterly kiss. Laughing into the kiss, Ruby pulled away after a few seconds.
"Well now that we are all feeling a bit better, do you guys want to go to that fish taco place?" Ruby asked.
Yang burst out into laughter, Ruby and Weiss smiled, and Blake just groaned.
As they made their way out of the dorm after having set up Rubys' Stem again, they made their way over to the restaurant in question. Once they arrived, they quickly found seats and got started looking through the menu. Seeing one of the deserts, Ruby started to drool, but quickly stopped after Weiss gave her an elbow in her ribs. Grinning Ruby realized something, Weiss hadn't brought her notepad, meaning there was no way to say what she wanted to order.
The waiter arrived and started to take their orders. Yang ordered a club sandwhich, Blake (predictably) ordered the fish tacos, but once it got to Weiss' turn she realized the same thing Ruby had realized moments before. Ruby quickly stepped in once Weiss started to look around for some assistance in ordering. Weiss happily smiled at Ruby for assisting her.
"Um, She will be getting what I'm having." Ruby said. Once the waiter nodded, she continued.
"I will be getting, the extra large chocolate chip volcano cookie, please." Ruby said risking a sidelong glance at Weiss, whose expression had gone from pleasure to absolute horror.
The waiter nodded again, and walked away with their orders. Ruby sat down, content with her victory and with the victory of all things sweet. Ruby looked to Weiss and saw just how flustered she had made her girlfriend. Weiss was red faced franticly looking for something to write on so she could rant at and scold Ruby. Finding nothing she just started to sulk piteously. Ruby looked at Weiss and thought,
She says I'm the childish one! Although, I did just order two giant cookies for lunch…
Shaking the thought out of her head, Ruby leaned over and kissed Weiss on her cheek trying to brighten her mood.
"Come on, Weiss I'm sure you'll love it, I bet you haven't ever had anything like this before." Ruby said.
"You aren't the only one being forced here Weiss." Blake said.
"What are you talking about Blake? I for one have no idea what you mean." Yang said, trying to look nonchalant, and failing miserably.
"You know exactly what I'm talking about." Grumbled Blake.
Ruby laughed and gave Weiss a quick squeeze, as she thought,
I'm so glad we are back to normal, well our version of normal at least.
They continued joking and laughing and generally having a good time until their food arrived. Things really were returning to a form of normal for the team RWBY.
