Chapter 7

Weiss was in a predicament, she was in love with her partner Ruby Rose and didn't have anyone to talk to about it. Obviously she couldn't talk to ruby about her feelings, for she did not know if the dark haired girl even swung that way and did not want to endanger the friendship that they had. Blake would probobally tell their leader during one of their weekly teas, and Yang would probobally beat her to death for thinking of her dear little sister that way. So Weiss decided to just not talk to anyone about it at first, though this caused her to enter many embarassing situations where she would lie about leaving a text book behind after class to avoid being alone with the girl.

So when Yang dragged her to the roof that saturday she was at a complete loss as to why she was doing this. When they reached the roof top Yang looked around making sure no one was around to over hear their conversation. When she was satisfied that no one was around she simply asked Weiss the one thing she did not expect from the blonde.

"I know you have feelings for Ruby," She said it with a confidant smirk on her face. Yang had seen the way the rich girl had been staring longingly at her baby sister every chance she got. She noticed every time weiss would make an excuse to be closer to the young team leader. And she had noticed that Weiss seemingly had no one she could talk to about her feelings. Yang remembered when she was Weiss' age and had had her first crush on a boy, she had felt lost before she eventually went to her aunt, Qrow's wife, and let all of her feelings out. She remembered the advice her aunt gave her that day 'Just go tell the poor boy how you feel, even if he says no, at least you will not think thoughts on what could have been,'. She also remembered how her aunt laughed when she was sent home for beating the shit out of the boy who had so cruelly dismissed her feelings.

"Was I that obvious," Weiss asked a shocked look on her face. Yang simply nodded, before she comforted the girl in the fact that no one but Yang had noticed. "What should I do Yang? I've never felt this strongly about someone before. I've never been in love with someone," Yang was not expecting that, she had thought that the Ice Queen had only a crush on Ruby. She thought quietly about what her teammate should do.

"Tell her how you feel, it'll be better than not knowing," Yang said putting a comforting hand on the younger girl's shoulder.

"But what if she isn't into girls, what if this ruins our friendship. I wouldn't be able to continue at this school if that happens," Yang sighs at the younger girls excuses, some of them would have been valid if you didn't already know that Ruby was gay.

"Weiss, what i'm about to tell you doesn't leave this rooftop got it, this stays between us," Weiss nods and Yang continues. "Ruby is gay, she came out of the closet about a year and a half ago," Weiss looks shocked how could she, Weiss Schnee queen of knowing everything, not know this. "What you didn't notice how she always leaves the room while we change, or how she is the only girl not to stare at Sun's abs. It's kinda obvious,"

"They are nice abs after all, I guess I was to busy drooling over them to notice," Yang looks shocked. "What I swing both ways, I like both guys and girls,"

Yang laughs, she never would have thought that the perfect little Schnee girl would swing both ways, she always thought that Weiss would be firmly standing on one side of the fence or the other. Soon both girls go into a fit of giggles before going back to their dorm room to study, or in Yang's case play games on her scroll. When they arrived, Weiss asks a question that shocks the brawler.

"Can I brush you're hair, it'll calm me down and I kind of want to talk some more. I haven't had anyone to talk to do to fear," Yang sighs and hands Weiss a brush before sitting down, normally she would never let anyone touch her precious hair but Weiss seemed trust worthy enough. They fall into a rythm as Weiss carefully brushes her friend's hair. They talk about Yang and Ruby's childhood, how they were raised by their uncle after Ruby's mom died and their father took more jobs to provide for them. They talked about Weiss' feelings for Ruby, Yang giving Ruby tips on how to confess her love. But all things come to an end, even ones as peacefull as this as Weiss accidently pulls out a bit of hair while fighting a large knot in Yang's hair. "Uh oh,"

Lavender eyes flash red and and the room begins to heat up as Yang holds the pieces of hair that were pulled out. Weiss begins running from the enraged blonde, she ducks multiple left hooks before jumping onto Ruby's bed. Yang, being the kind and loving older sister, just stands there glaring at the little rich girl who dared seek safety in the one place Yang would never destroy for fear of breaking her sister's heart.

"Get down here Ice Queen, I swear you probobally won't feel a thing as I beat you to death,"

"I'm sorry Yang it was an accident, please don't kill me," Weiss moves so that her back is against the wall, with a look of a scared little rabbit adorning her normally cold exterior.

"Should've been more carefull, you knew the risks. NOW GET DOWN HERE," Weiss just trembles. niether girl notice the door open as their teammates step into the room.

"It was an accident Yang, i already apologized about it! Now calm down before you're sister comes in and notices me on her bed. I do not need the girl I love seeing me in this matter,"

Ruby was stunned at what Weiss said. "You love me," Ruby whispers, Weiss and yang finally notice the two standing in the doorway. Ruby vanishes in a poof of rose petals.

"Ruby! Come Back!," Weiss yells as she jumps from the bed and uses her glyphs to keep up with the red tipped beuty. "Please, just talk to me,"

Ruby just keeps running untill they reach the roof and she had no where left to run. Ruby falls to her knees holding her head in her hands as she begins to cry. 'Why did this have to happen today of all days' Ruby thought to herself. 'I'm still not over Rote's death, but I don't want to hurt Weiss. What should I do.' She was so caught up in her thoughts that she didn't notice Weiss standing behind her with a worried look.

"Ruby, can we please talk," Ruby jumps at the sound of Weiss' voice. She simply nods her head and Weiss sits next to her on the roof. "Ruby, I've had feelings for you for a while. Probobally ever since that night at the docks. They've grown over time and now I can firmly say that I love you," Ruby just groans at how unlucky she must be for someone to confess to her on the day she was just beginning to get over her past.

"Weiss, I would love to be able to go out with you," Weiss' face gleems with joy that is cut off with Ruby's next few words. "But I can't. Not now at least,"

"Why not, please let me know," Weiss practically begs, tears streaming down her face. "Why can't you love me,"

"Because I'm not over the death of my last girlfriend," Weiss falls silent at that. She had had no idea that Ruby had gone through something like that. She felt angry at herself for not even considering the fact that Ruby may have been heartbroken. But how could she have known, Ruby was always cheerfull always happy. "But...but i think I might be able to get over it soon. I've been holding my self back from being truly happy since then. And Rote would be furious with me if I denied myself happiness because of her," Ruby smiles at the thought of Rote being cross, it rarely happened in fact it only ever happened once, the day she and Yang found Ruby on the bathroom floor with blood running down her wrists.

"So I have a chance," Weiss asks still afraid of causing her friend any more harm.

"Yes, but give a week to work things out in my head. it's been a year but I still have a few things I need to think about. Next saturday how about you ask me out properly and, if I believe I'm ready, I will go on a date with you. we will need to take things slow at first, i'm a bit out of practice in the whole dateing department," Ruby grins at Weiss before standing up. Weiss follows suit and the two girls walk back to their dorm room both thinking how they were going to get through the next week. Ruby thinking of a way to get the feeling of guilt off of her chest, and Weiss thinking of a way to make the date really special. It was going to be a long week for both of them.
