Weiss
It had been a few weeks since Weiss had carried Ruby into Oobleks' classroom and had gained permission for Ruby to enter the huntress program again. In the time after, the two girls had spent all their time together, looking to be inseparable to everyone around them. Though very few of those people would have guessed the two were dating. Most of them just assumed they were becoming very good friends and enjoyed each other's company. Even Yang had calmed down and started to act normal around the couple. Now though, Weiss was getting ready for a daunting task, planning for her and Ruby's first date.
Weiss groaned in frustration, I can't think of anything Ruby would like. Knowing her, she would just fidget to no end at any symphony or play we went to, bored out of her mind, refusing to leave because that's were I planned the date. She thought.
She was sitting on her bunk, pretending to look at her scroll, hoping that the answer would present itself on her blank screen. Above her, Ruby was sitting on the edge of her bunk legs hanging and bouncing away to the beat of her music. Glad that Ruby couldn't hear her sighing frustratedly every few minutes, Weiss flopped backwards allowing herself to watch Ruby's legs as they bounced back and forth in their rhythm. She felt as she watched the bouncing that she could almost hear the rhythm of the music Ruby was listening to, losing herself in her imaginary music Weiss closed her eyes slowly, drifting along with the beat.
After what felt like just a few seconds Weiss felt her pillow depress behind her and a warm curvature carefully place itself on her forehead. Opening her eyes Weiss' gaze was met with the eyes of a grinning Ruby,
"I heard you humming the same tune as the one I was listening to, so I thought you might want to listen." Ruby said in a low whisper.
She took her headphones off her ears with her one hand and put them on Weiss' with almost no trouble. Ruby had gotten into the habit recently of taking Ruby's Stem off in the dorm room, to stop her from rubbing anymore of her skin raw.
Looking into Ruby's eyes as the redhead pressed the play button, she was surprised to hear that the song was far different than she had thought. It was the same beat that Weiss had inadvertently been humming and Ruby had been tapping, but instead of it being a more up beat and pop song like Weiss had expected, it was fast but complex and to her great surprise was an orchestral piece. After another moment Ruby spoke,
"I wanted to try and branch out to the things you liked, and I don't mind it, it carries you and lets you fall, but catches you and swoops you away again."
Ruby lied down next to Weiss and taking one of the headphone sides placed it over her own ear content to lie next to her girlfriend and listen to music. Weiss on the other hand was no longer even paying attention to the music and instead had her mind elsewhere.
Thanks Ruby, I can give you a worthwhile date now. I wont plan on what I know and enjoy, I will find something you love, learn everything I can about it, then use it to astonish you! Weiss thought triumphantly.
Ruby
A little while after Ruby had lain down with Weiss to listen to music, the heiress had gotten up, giving an excuse for needing to head in to town and left leaving Ruby alone for really the first time in weeks. Not really sure what to do, Ruby decided that it would probably be a good idea to catch up on some of the homework she had been missing, at least until Weiss got back.
After a few hours Weiss arrived back at the dorm, looking very pleased with herself.
"What's made you so happy?" Ruby questioned, sporting her own grin at her girlfriends return.
"Well, I just happened to have finished planning our very first date, and before you ask, no. You cannot know where we are going, it's a surprise." Weiss proclaimed proudly.
Giving her best puppy dog eyes and pout, Ruby asked,
"So, can you tell me when it is at least?" She continued
"Um, it's right now actually, I planned for us to start it right away." Weiss said.
"Oh, well lead the way then!" Ruby replied excitedly.
The pair left the dorm and started to walk away from Beacon. Once they took an airship to Vale, Ruby had begun to get a little impatient.
"Weiss, where are we going? Is it this place? Oooh or is it this place?" Ruby asked as they walked down the streets of Vale.
"I already told you Ruby, I won't tell you till we get there. Which I'm happy to say wont be much longer." Weiss said.
Ruby squealed sounding even more excited then before.
I can't believe I'm actually going on a date with Weiss, we've been together for a while but it kind of never really hit me that we're dating! Ruby thought.
"Here we are, the Vale Theater, currently playing "The Hunters Power" and I know you aren't usually a fan of these but trust me you will like this one." Weiss said.
"I'm sure I'll love it Weiss." Ruby replied.
Since Weiss had already bought tickets earlier in the day, they could just walk right in and get their seats. Soon after they got to their seats and got settled, the show began. It was a show about an unknown Hunter hundreds of years ago who had arrived in a village, terribly injured. A village girl nursed him back to health, they quickly fell in love but just before they could realize it a vicious and monstrous Grimm appeared and after a long battle the Grimm was finally defeated by the Hunter, afterwards the two realized their love and they lived happily ever after…
Once the credits began to roll the two walked out of the theater and continued down the street, they struck up a conversation on the show quite quickly.
"I really liked the show, but it was a lot like the stories Yang used to read to me, did she happen to have anything to do with this?" Ruby asked, one eyebrow raised, looking side long at Weiss.
Weiss glanced at Ruby and sighed, "Yeah, I talked to Yang and got her to tell me about those stories, so I went and found this show which was the closest thing I could find to them."
Ruby sprang at Weiss, wrapping her in a big hug, "Thank you! That is so sweet that you would do all that for me."
Weiss blushed and grumbled, "Ruby your welcome, now could you stop hugging me? People are beginning to stare."
"Oops. Ok!" Ruby said, smiling from ear to ear.
She stopped hugging Weiss but in the place of the embrace she grabbed a hold of her girlfriends hand with Ruby's Stem as they walked. To her great happiness Weiss didn't pull away out of the grip due to the embarrassment of a public display of affection, instead she interlocked her fingers with Ruby's Stem's and continued on walking.
"So where are we going? This isn't the way back to Beacon." Ruby asked, as she massaged the back of Weiss' thumb with her own.
"I guess I forgot to tell you but, the date isn't over yet, we haven't gone to dinner. So I have reservations at a restaurant I am sure you will like as much as the show if not more so."" Weiss admitted.
"Oh my gosh Weiss you planned so much for our first date! I don't know how I will be able to top this." Ruby said frowning slightly then widening her eyes hurriedly added, "As long as you want to, of course." She looked at Weiss nervously who chuckled.
"I'm sure I will want another date Ruby, but lets just wait for the end of the first one before you start making any plans? Okay?" Weiss reassured.
Ruby quickly agreed and shortly after they arrived at the place they would be having dinner. When they walked in the door and Ruby caught a whiff of the scents and a glance at the sights within this restaurant, she made a sound somewhat like a cross between a predator's growl and a starving animals whine. They were in a bakery/diner and Ruby could smell and see it.
"Weiss… this place, how did you find out about this place?" Ruby managed to gasp as she tried to wipe away the drool, forming in vast quantities on her lips.
"Well this is one of the places my father and other company members would come to meet when they didn't want to be too obvious about it." Weiss explained.
After a few minutes they were taken to their seats and once they had their orders taken, a meat pie for Weiss and a sugar pie for Ruby, they enjoyed some light conversation. After a little longer the White Rose pair's food came, but before they could start to enjoy their meal Weiss stiffened. Concerned Ruby was about to ask what was wrong when she felt someone behind her, grasping the back of her chair.
Weiss
"My, my! Miss Schnee! I never would have thought to meet you here on anything but company business." The man, it sounded like a man at least said.
"Daniel, I'm not really in the mood to talk right now okay? I am here with someone after all." Weiss said through extremely gritted teeth.
Daniel grinned, looking down at Ruby, "Oh you mean this little girl? What is she for? Are you taking her out to a dinner for some child's charity or something of the kind?"
Straining herself in the effort not to yell at the man she continued to grind away at her teeth and responded,
"No, Daniel, Miss Rose and I are here because we enjoy each others company and wished to have something to eat, now I would very much like to get back to that."
"Really? I wouldn't have imagined that you would take someone who you simply get along with on such a, if I do say so, romantic looking dinner?" Daniel said, grinning devilishly at her.
Weiss could his abrasive nature, usually but he was also making slights toward Ruby as well which meant that she would need to let him know what that redhead meant to her before he said anything else.
"If you must know, I happen to be on a date with Miss Rose and was enjoying myself immensely before you showed up." Weiss said haughtily, hoping but not really believing Daniel would leave with that.
He looked shocked, "R-really? You? A homosexual? I would never have believed. Although I suppose that is not anything to be upset about, especially in this day and age." Daniel said.
Weiss internally sighed, thankful that he wasn't also secretly a homophobic as well,
Maybe now that he has some gossip to spread to everyone else in the circle of company heads he will finally leave us alone. Weiss could hope.
But Daniel continued on to say "Although why would you choose a girl so much younger than you, to indulge your fantasies? And even more importantly why would you choose one so broken?" he grabbed Ruby's Stem and lifted it above Ruby's head, "Can't you see that this toy is crippled and useless to you?
Sorry for being late again, I really don't know how I'm always late with these updates. Before you ask sugar pie is a real food as well as meat pie both are French Canadian dishes. Also hope you enjoyed the read it was tough since I didn't really know how to get them to the restaurant, which is what I wrote this chapter for. Anyways have a good day! Happy reading!
