A/N: IT/Programing…Does anybody of you have the same course as I am? I need help TwT;;
And I have to read fluff to continue this. Why do I get block so easily…T T
The silence of the forest trails were comforting enough even if both Weiss and Ruby had to stay up with their guard to watch out for Grimm that were ready to attack them. Neither was speaking however but was too preoccupied to drink the scenery of the Emerald forest.
Weiss could smell the scent of the girl next by her side, mostly of roses and vanilla that made her so tempting. She knew Ruby always has rose petals trailing when she uses her semblance but when she's not and is just close by her like this, she sells as fragrant.
"Ruby…" Weiss was locked in a daze and paused from walking to meet Ruby's eyes even if her thoughts were somewhere over the clouds.
"We…When we met, we weren't exactly the type who would get along that fast but being in the same team as you…it helped me so much." Ruby stopped and turned around to look at Weiss. Something told her that she should be the one starting the talking like this if she was to continue with her plan.
"Help with what, Weiss..? As I recall, you didn't really like my childishness back then." Ruby interjected and chuckled, remembering the things she did not too long before.
"Oh, Haha. Yes, I did but…That's one of the things so charming about you." Weiss caught herself and blushed as she continued to walk, deeper and deeper in the forest. Ruby followed close by with a reddish tint on her cheeks as well.
"Thanks. But…one of your charms should your mature and princess like demeanor. People really didn't look forward to that kind of attitude before but it seems like more and more people are helping you warm up." Ruby hooked her arm around Weiss' and odd enough, the girl didn't seem to mind for she knows that the scythe-wielder was a little clingy to her. She wasn't that much around Yang or Blake, just her.
Those charms that Ruby mentioned might not be a charm for her at all because it was a bat trait she had, being raised in an uptight family. Only then did she realize that she should take a different path from everyone else in her family. Her sister chose to stay in Atlas. Weiss wanted to leave so she did and went to Beacon instead. It was a choice she didn't and will never regret.
"I don't like being called the Ice Queen you know." She pointed out with a pout but Ruby gave the older a grin.
"…But you are my Snow Angel."
Weiss couldn't believe Ruby just said that because she never really guessed that she, of all people would speak her mind out in matters as this. What got into her mind? She has not one idea but she was flustered by the statement.
"Ruby..?"
The brunette pulled away with a small smile, her heart beating out of her chest, a blush obvious on her cheeks. Ruby was doing something reckless but this was going to be a gamble for her. A gamble for her feelings, their friendship, everything they have been for the past year. Ruby was ready and she braced her heart for the worst and the best but even that didn't seem to be enough for this. She was going to do it anyway.
Weiss suddenly felt dread. She wasn't oblivious of Ruby's feelings that were showing around her. Fair enough, she was actually observing the girl by movements and even if she knows of why she actually invited her for a walk in the forest, she didn't rat it out to spoil the girl's mood. There's only one thing she didn't like.
The fact that the fear of her immortality will be her bane…and the very fact that she's not human like Ruby.
"Weiss…I wanted to tell you something." Ruby started and gathered all her resolve, all just to look at Weiss at the eye and not break contact. "Here goes nothing.."
The heiress can hear her heart break. She didn't want to break Ruby's too but how..? How will she say it without hurting her? It was nearly impossible. Nearly…
Both took a deep breath in before saying their thoughts out loud.
"I love you, Weiss."
"I love you, Ruby but…"
Ruby heard the words of the girl and made her blush redder than the leaves in Forever Fall and the hue of her cape but the latter part…Weiss still had something to say. That made her nervous all of a sudden. Did she do it wrong? Was she sounding eager..? What was it..?
Weiss saw the devastation on Ruby's face and that's something that made her cringe. Obviously, anyone can get a hint on where she's going after her last word but she had one thing to ask her.
"…But are you going to love me even if I'm not the person you think I am..?"
That question frankly surprised the scythe-wielder but somehow knew her answer to that one question. She wasn't an idiot to not get the essence of the question but something in her says that Weiss was hoping for something. Acceptance on a matter she wasn't very open with and at this point, Ruby doesn't know what else could surprise her.
She took the liberty to approach Weiss and closed the distance with a soft and gentle kiss on her pale pink lips and held her by her waist.
Weiss was surprised by the bold move must her heart melted and fluttered into a mushy goo of nothing that she couldn't understand. She harbors the same feeling as Ruby for her but why was it that something like this still made her so confused.
This was harder than she actually thought.
"Of course I will." Those words were enough to assure her for now. The real test was to come later on and Weiss was sure that by then, Ruby might get even just a little of whatever's with her. Hopefully.
The rustle of the leaves and the stillness of the air made the two grow stiff for a moment. Their alertness didn't abandon them while they were having the conversation earlier. At this situation, both were rather enthralled.
"What could possibly be bothering us at a time like this?" Weiss complained out loud with a snarl and Ruby could say the same. It was such a bad timing.
Both heard hissing not too far from where they were standing and for a lucky guess of a King Taijutu, they weren't wrong. Weiss scolded herself for having doubts, uncertainty and negative feelings that attracted a grim this big.
"Let's go on a dinner date later after this. Sounds good?" Ruby pulled away and unsheathed Crescent Rose from its latch with a small smile on her lips.
"You dolt, it's just lunch." Weiss corrected as she pulled out her rapier out of its scabbard, turning the dust chambers to the one she was to use.
"Oh, I forgot."
The grim showed itself at the girls and both heads were eager to eat them for brunch. Ruby and Weiss wasn't really eager to die yet so fighting was the best way to finish it off. After all, fighting and body movement was stress relief. At least for them.
"I call dibs on the black."
"Take whatever you want. Just be careful when you fight."
That made Ruby blush but she knew what Weiss meant. She found it cute.
They didn't have to say another word because the reptilian grim attacked without hesitation and soon enough, both girls were locked in a battle, synchronization and team work present on their moves.
For the whole while, they were glad that none of them got injured, moreover, they even had the chance to exchange kisses here and there when they had a few seconds.
Finally, both delivered the finishing blow, slicing the grim's head out of its place and watched it evaporate, their hands intertwined together.
Weiss didn't think of what she really is for the moment. It didn't matter to her for now.
"Come on, I know a good place for lunch." Weiss invited and Ruby gave a simple gleeful nod before following the white haired girl out of the forest and on to town and seen in Ruby's eyes were pure bliss.
"…I wish I can have you for dessert."
"Only if you allow me to do the same with you."
That…was one surprising statement from Ruby Rose.
