The study session after Monday's classes was probably the most awkward thing Weiss had lived through, and she'd grown up dealing with her family.
"Yang, I.."
"Nope." Yang said, cutting Weiss off as she flipped the page of her text book. She didn't need to read it, but you could only do so much in a library before beowolves hunting patterns became interesting.
"I'm sorry." Weiss murmured. Apologies were still not her strong suit.
"One job, You had one job." Yang sighed, not looking up from her textbook. She wasn't angry with Weiss per se, just annoyed at the situation she found herself in.
"In my defence, I did my job." Weiss argued, before cowering at her girlfriends glare.
"How long have I got until this is over?" Yang groaned, rubbing her eyes after she flung her head back.
"Half an hour." Weiss stated before looking around the room. "We could just sneak out?"
"Are you suggesting we go against our leaders orders?" Yang asked, faking shock at her girlfriends comment.
"Well, an order made without the proper information can risk lives." Weiss answered, looking away guiltily. "And this was my fault after all. I should make it up to you."
"Well alright then, how are you planning to make it up to me?"Yang inquired, winking suggestively after her question.
"N-nothing like that you brute!" Weiss replied, blushing like mad while Yang giggled at her reaction. "I was thinking we could go down to Vale for a date."
"Alright, so what are we waiting for?" Yang asked before grabbing Weiss' hand and running out of the library.
Having made it to the bullheads, and convincing a certain noirette that what they were doing was okay, the happy couple started planning out their afternoon.
"So where are we going first?" Yang asked, resting her arms behind her head. Her carefree demeanour worn on her sleeve.
"Well since this is my apology to you, I decided we should go wherever you wanted." Weiss answered. Even now while on a date with Yang, the heiress sat rigid and proper.
"Hmm… Alright, let's go to the arcade!" Yang smiled, happy that her first choice would be something fun for both of them.
"I don't entirely know what an arcade is." Weiss said, staring out the window next to her.
"How do you not know what an arcade is?" Yang exclaimed, earning a glare from Weiss for her loudness. "And how have we never taken you to one?" this time Yang kept her voice down.
"firstly, my father didn't exactly let me leave the house as a child. Secondly, because you, Nora and Ren were banned from that one in the centre of town."Weiss answered, giving her girlfriend a deadpanned look.
"Oh yeah… Then we'll go to the one near the docks. They have way better games anyway. " Yang replied leaning back into her chair "I'm gonna blow you world tonight."
About half an hour of hand holding later, the pair had arrived at the dockside arcade. The first thing that caught Weiss' attention once they walked in was the noise. Sirens, alarms and screaming all assaulted her hearing.
"Is it always this loud?" Weiss shouted, doing her best to be heard over the noise.
"Pretty much." Yang replied, not giving Weiss any more time to adjust before dragging her over to a counter.
Before Weiss could fully understand what Yang was doing, the blonde had dragged her off once again into the centre of the arcade.
"Alright we've got fifty lien, what do you want to play first?" Yang asked, holding some type of card Weiss didn't recognise in her hand.
"I have no idea." Weiss replied, scanning all the different machines around them. How was she meant to pick, she didn't fully understand what an arcade was until ten minutes ago.
"Oh let's play this." Yang beamed, once again dragging Weiss in another direction until the pair stopped in front of a claw machine.
"Would you stop dragging me everywhere!" Weiss chastised, having now given up on figuring out what direction she was going."
"Heh sorry." Yang replied, seeming at least a little embarrassed for her excitement getting the better of her.
"Now, how does this work?" Weiss asked turning her attention to the machine she had been dragged to.
Yang's mood changed from embarrassed to excited in an instant. "It's simple, just line the claw above a prize and try and grab it."
At first, the Heiress thought the entire idea was a waste. After all, most of the plushies she could see could be bought for much less than it would cost to fish one out of the machine. She was about to voice that opinion too until her eyes fixed onto a yellow ursa plush in the middle.
The more she stared at it, the more it reminded her of Yang. Ursi were strong and fearsome like Yang, while the yellow reminded her of her girlfriends hair, her bike, her clothes. Everything about it screamed Yang to the heiress and because of that, she had to get it.
"Uh, Weiss, you OK?" Yang asked, worried that Weiss had been staring at the machine for a couple minutes.
"I'm going to win that Ursa." Weiss said, completely ignoring Yang's question.
"Alright then… " Yang replied, slightly weirded out by her girlfriend. "Just be prepared, these aren't as easy as they look."
Weiss either ignored Yang's comment or didn't hear it, Yang wasn't quite sure, as she lined the claw above her prey, meticulously nudging the joystick to get the claw exactly where she wanted it. Once the Heiress was happy with her placement she slammed down on the red button with strength even Yang was impressed by. The claw slowly descended on the Ursa before closing around its body and slowly lifting it into the air. The pair waited with bated breath as Weiss' prize edged closer and closer to the Shute, only to drop at the last miss.
"Oh come on!" Yang shouted, looking visibly angry at the machine. "That should have gone in!"
"Don't worry Yang." Weiss replied, her voice void of emotions. "A Schnee never loses."
Twenty minutes and a near freezing later, Weiss was victorious. With her stuffed ursa in her arms, she smiled victoriously at her girlfriend like she had just saved the world. "What shall we play next? "
"Well, ya kinda used all the lien I had on the claw machine." Yang answered, not sounding as disappointed as most would expect. Honestly she was just happy Weiss was happy.
"I'll put some lien on then." Weiss offered, taking the card from the blonde.
"Alright, just head over to the counter and ask for them to put her ever much you want on the card." "Yang said, pointing towards the counter they had first visited.
Weiss nodded and quickly disappeared into the crowd leaving Yang to ponder on her next choice. Should she show Weiss the basketball hoops, or maybe one of the racing games?
Faster than the blonde had expected, Weiss had returned and handed the card back to Yang. "Now then, what would you like to play?"
"Hmm…" Yang thought, rubbing her chin before snapping her fingers. "How bout bumper cars?"
"What is bumper cars? Weiss asked as Yang lend her over to the small track.
"Basically you drive those cars around the track and try to crash into each other." Yang explained as they joined the queue for the token machine.
"It sounds barbaric."
"It's fun, trust me." Yang replied, swiping the card through the scanner and seeing how much was now on the card. "Weiss, did you put two hundred lien on the card?"
"Of course, is that a problem?" Weiss asked, not finding any fault in her actions.
"No, not really. Just didn't expect it." Yang answered, deciding then and there that she would show Weiss every arcade machine in the building. "So, ready to have your butt kicked?"
"I'd like to see you try Xiao Long." Weiss smirked, joining in on the fun banter.
The couple didn't have to wait long before they were able to pick a car, as the group in front of them was just leaving the track as they joined the queue.
Yang of course when for the brightest yellow one she could while Weiss chose a light blue car further around the track.
"Welcome to Dockside Bumper Cars!" An announcer called once everyone was settled. "Please keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle at all times and have a great time!"
As soon as the music started, Yang hit the gas and started chasing down Weiss. She wasn't hard to spot with her ponytail fluttering behind her.
Once the front of her car lined up with the back corner of Weiss', Yang slammed into the the back causing the heiress to spin out.
"Got ya Ice Queen!" Yang shouted, laughing as she drove away. What Yang probably didn't plan for was Weiss' competitive attitude to kick in.
Locking on to Yang's car, Weiss sped off as fast as the bumper car could go, avoiding other drivers in her path, until she was right behind her target.
As Yang took the turn, Weiss slammed into the side of her car, pushing her into the wall. "Got you, Xiao Long."
Yang just laughed as Weiss drove away, she knew Weiss was enjoying herself and that's what mattered.
The pair continued hunting each other round the course until the music stopped and the cars ceased moving.
"Thank you for riding with us!" the announcer called. "Please exit through the gate on the left and please come again!"
Yang was the first off the track and waited near the exit for the heiress.
"So, did ya have fun?" Yang asked bumping her shoulder into Weiss'.
"It was… enjoyable." Weiss answered, following Yang to their next game.
"You had fun." Yang smirked before stopping in front of their new game.
"So, what's this game?" Weiss asked, staring at the odd, rectangular machine.
"It's Whack a Grimm!" Yang cheered, waving her arms in front of her for added flair.
"How does it work?" Weiss questioned, eyeing the machine like it would attack her.
"Simple, watch and learn Princess." Yang replied, swiping her card and grabbing the small padded mallet.
Within moments, music began to play from the machine, as tiny models of Grimm popped up from the machine. Each Grimm made a small roar as they popped up, and a whimper as Yang smacked them back down.
Yang swung the mallet down hard onto the heads of the Grimm, earning whimper after whimper. Her strikes were wild and unorganised and Weiss could spot many ways that her girlfriend could improve.
Yangs score was a respectable 13090, but still under the high score of 14010.
"Damn, I was so close." Yang pouted, before quickly rebounding. "Alright, your turn!"
Cautiously, Weiss took the padded mallet from the blonde, who swiped her card again.
Once again the music played, and once again the Grimm popped up. Unlike Yang's wild attacks, Weiss focused her energy and made quick and precise strikes. By the end of the game, the Heiress' score was 15630, claiming the new high score.
"You did it!" Yang cheered, picking Weiss up in a hug and spinning her around.
"Put me down!" Weiss shrieked, pushing against Yang's shoulders until she was on solid ground again. It didn't matter how long the pair were together, Weiss would always hate when Yang did that.
Yang for her part, didn't seem sorry at all for what she had done. "Seriously, that's so cool though!"
"Thank you." Weiss said, blushing slightly from Yang's compliments over a silly game.
"I think you deserve an award." Yang smirked, causing Weiss' blush to darken. "Wait right here."
The heiress didn't even get a chance to protest before Yang sprinted off. It was moments like this that showed how similar the sisters could be.
Weiss was pulled from her thoughts however as she was once again lifted into the air. "I'm back~."
Having been entirely unprepared for Yang's antics, Weiss let out the most unladylike squeak once her feet were off the ground.
"Y-You brute!" Weiss stuttered, her blush darkening hearing Yang's joyous laughter.
"Aww you're so cute." Yang cooed as she put Weiss down again. "Now then, it's time for your wonderful girlfriend to win you a prize."
This time, Yang calmly walked towards one of the corners of the arcade, with Weiss following behind. When Yang stopped, Weiss could see two machines in front of her. One looked like a speed ball she would see Yang use during her work outs. The other looked like a strength test you would see at a carnival, though the heiress couldn't see where you were suppose to hit.
"Alright." Yang grunted, cracking her knuckles. "time to earn my girlfriend a prize."
Yang swiped her card through both machines, activating both. The speed ball dropped down enough for Yang to swing at while the strength test popped up a target to hit with the mallet. Armed with the mallet in one hand and and the strongest punch on team RWBY, Yang went to work on both machines to earn as many tokens as she needed.
Nearly half an hour later, Yang finally put down the mallet and turned around to face Weiss.
"Phew, done." Yang smiled, wiping imaginary sweat from her brow. Even though she hadn't taken a break through out her grind, Yang hadn't even come close to breaking a sweat.
"So what is this prize?" Weiss asked, following Yang through the crowds towards the main desk.
"you'll see." Yang smirked, joining the small line at the main desk.
Weiss however, wasn't one for patience. Like the true proper and respectable Heiress she was, Weiss crossed her arms and pouted like a sad child.
"Hi girls, how can I help you?" The attendant asked, smiling brightly at the pair as they reached the font of the line.
"I'd like to cash in some tokens." Yang answered, handing the attendant her card.
The attendant swiped Yang's card through a scanner, his eyebrows raising in surprise once the machine displayed the token count. "Wow, that's a lot of tokens. What were you looking at getting?"
Yang scanned the items on the wall behind the attendant, already knowing exactly what she wanted but wanting to build up suspense. "I'd like the giant corgi and dragon plushies."
The attendant nodded and turned around to face the desired plushies, grabbing a step stool on his way.
"Are they my prize?" Weiss asked, mostly curiously but also slightly excited.
"Well, the dragon is, so you'll never forget me." Yang smiled, scratching the back on her neck.
"Yang, we live in the same dorm, I see you everyday." Weiss replied. It wasn't that the heiress thought Yang's gift was dumb, far from it. The fact someone would go out of their way to get her a gift was endearing. Weiss just wasn't use to someone bothering without wanting something in return.
"I know, but you never know what will happen in the future." Yang spoke, waving her arms for added effect. "What if I'm on a mission and you're here? This way you'll have something to hold till I get back."
Before Weiss could say anything in response the attendant returned with the two large plushies Yang had chosen.
"Here you go, have a good day." the attendant beamed, handing one plush to each girl.
"You too!" Yang called back as she and Weiss waddled out of the arcade, carrying plushies half as big as themselves.
The couple walked back towards the airships with an awkward air between them. Yang was worried her gift wasn't good enough, after all her girlfriend is an heiress.
"This was fun." Yang spoke, finally breaking the awkward silence.
"It was, the arcade was.. Interesting…" Weiss replied, trying her hardest to sound honest. "And… thank you, I appreciate your gift."
Hearing that brought the biggest smile to Yang's face, to the point Weiss feared she would go blind from the shine. "I'm glad you like it!"
"I never got the chance to ask but who is the corgi for?" Weiss asked, staring at the giant plush Yang was carrying.
"Oh, I promised Ruby I'd get it for her the next time we had enough tokens." Yang replied, still smiling.
All in all, Yang decided that their impromptu date had been been a great time, even if It did start out with a team leader declared detention.
"RUBY I HAVE A SURPRISE FOR YOU!" Yang shouted as she entered the dorm room giant corgi plush in front of her.
"OhmygodhesadorableIlovehim!" Ruby squealed, having jumped from Blake's bed and ran over to her new soft friend.
"You both need a volume control." Weiss sighed as she entered the room behind her girlfriend.
Looking around the room, the heiress noticed Blake was sitting on her bed glaring at the blush their team leader now held.
"Did you really need to buy her a dog plush?" Blake asked, not taking eyes off the plush.
"Oh c'mon, you can't hate the plush because it looks like a dog." Yang groaned avoiding Ruby as she hopped around the room in circles.
"I do not like anything associated with dogs in any way shape or form." Blake replied, taking eyes off of the plush to look at Yang.
"But he's so adorable and soft. Feel it Blake!" Ruby whined, having rejoined the world around her enough to realise what was going on.
Blake stared at her girlfriend for a few moments, struggling not to imagine the redhead with a pair of floppy ears and a tail wagging behind her. "I guess there are two thing related to dogs I like." Blake sighed.
"I knew you'd warm up to Zwei." Ruby beamed, almost instantaneously perking up from before.
"I wasn't talking about Zwei." Blake replied before returning to her book.
"Who did you mean then?" Ruby asked. Yang tried her best not to laugh, though she failed horribly Weiss sighed and shook her head and Blake just continued reading.
"What's so funny? C'mon tell me!" Ruby whined as Yang finally cracked and burst into laughter.
*Walks around looking for the angry mob*
Huh, guess things have calmed down. HELLO? I'M Back! I BROUGHT SOME FREEZERBURN WITH ME!
So, I'm sorry this has taken so very long. Not long after I posted the last chapter my uncle passed away very unexpectedly and that basically stopped everything for about a month. Since then I have jumped around with a lot of ideas and currently have 11 other fics in various stages.
I honestly don't know when the next chapter of this will be but don't fear this ship hasn't sunk yet.
*Sees arrays of cannons pointed in my direction.*
Huh… when did you all get cannons?
As always, if you enjoyed, hated, have constructive criticism or have a question please let me know so I can make this story and any future stories I write better.
Thanks for reading and have an awesome day.
