Here's chapter 34 everyone.
"Okay, Schnee. You and Vel had some time to think about it, so who do you think you guys should talk to first about this? And if you seriously couldn't think of someone, then I still suggest Yang, since keeping secrets from her really might suck for me." Coco said.
"Honestly, Yang was my choice, but," Velvet placed her hand on Weiss' "We still kind of need to discuss it." Velvet said to Coco.
They were sitting in team CFVY's dorm, with Weiss and Velvet sitting on the rabbit Faunus' bed, while Coco was just sitting on her own. "Alright, well this is the place to talk about that, since it looks like Fox and Yatsuhashi aren't gonna be getting back for a bit." Coco remarked.
With Velvet's hand on her own, Weiss felt more comfortable, obviously due to the feeling of it, and being close to her girlfriend. "I told you already, Yang likes to help, but I just don't know. She might push this on me even more so than you have. Not that I'm saying what you suggested is bad, but with Yang…I believe you may know a bit of what I'm trying to explain."
Coco chuckled at that assumption. "You sell her short you know. I seriously can't see Yang being the kind of person to put pressure on you to tell everyone so quickly. If anything, she'll support the idea of you taking the whole confession thing one at a time."
Velvet patted Weiss' hand. "And you know that Coco can make sure she stays in check." She chuckled lightly, trying to lighten the mood for Weiss.
Weiss shared the chuckle with her, and sighed happily. "How did I get so lucky to find someone that can tolerate something like this?" She smiled, leaning in to kiss her girlfriend on the cheek.
Coco playfully rolled her eyes after Weiss pecked Velvet's cheek. "I'll be honest. I'm happy you guys are taking this whole one person at a time idea, but I so can't wait to see the look on everyone's face when you have the option to kiss in public."
The heiress felt a blush rise on her face, while Velvet was thinking more about how that would feel. "That would be nice to have the option, yes." Velvet smiled. "Weiss, do you have anyone that you'd like to tell first?"
"You and Coco both think Yang is a good option, but I'm still thinking." Weiss closed her eyes and began to think about who in their circle of friends would be the easiest to speak to about the situation.
Ruby already knows, Blake…I don't even know how she would take this. Yang, well Coco and Velvet think that telling her is a good idea. Jaune…would probably tell someone on accident. Pyrrha is trustworthy with this, but would telling her be much? Nora…no. Ren is quiet enough to keep it a secret, but I don't feel like it would help me feel better. Fox is an odd one, but maybe he can help, seeing as he's one of Velvet's teammates. And…Yatsuhashi…
Velvet moved her hand under Weiss' so that she could hold it in her own, making the heiress open her eyes. "Weiss, please tell me what's wrong. I saw you tense up." Velvet said, looking a little concern.
"I was trying to think about what would come from telling each of them individually. And," Weiss sighed. "I thought about what would happen if we told Yatsuhashi."
"Oh." Was all Velvet could say at that point, while Coco just groaned and crossed her arms.
"Yatsuhashi has heard everything besides that, so if he reacts in the worst way, then I just don't know." Coco sighed and lifted her shades up. "I can't see Yatsuhashi ending up being a prick about this, but if he does…I'll just say I really hope he doesn't."
Velvet's ears drooped when she thought about the possible outcome. "I don't want things to go south for all of us, Coco. Yatsuhashi is my friend…" She then looked to Weiss. "And I want him to see that we're both happy together."
Weiss nodded, easily wanting the same thing, but in her mind, it was hard thinking about how Yatsuhashi would be truly able to accept their relationship. "We'll find a way, I promise." It wasn't an empty promise, since while the heiress did have her doubts about Yatsuhashi, she would do whatever she could to make sure her girlfriend was happy.
It dawned on her at that moment that she'd truly go beyond the average attempt at something for someone else.
Do I…Do I love her?
Weiss blushed hard at the thought. It wasn't like she hated the idea either. "Uh, Schnee, what's up with your face? You're almost as red as Ruby's cloak."
"W-What?" Weiss didn't know what to say, and it didn't help when Velvet moved her hand to feel her forehead. "V-Velvet, I don't have a fever."
"Then what's wrong? Did you think of something again?" Velvet asked as she removed her hand.
"How about we just get back to deciding on who we should tell? I'm ready to pick." Weiss said.
"You are?" Velvet smiled at that. "Okay, so who?"
"I think it's a simple choice at this point. You both were right. Yang is the best one to talk to about this. And if you could, Coco, have her come over here. If Fox and Yatsuhashi aren't coming over for a bit, then now is the best time to let her know." Weiss stated.
Coco nodded and got her scroll out. "Vel, do you have anything else to say before I call her up? This is your choice too after all."
Velvet shook her head and leaned against the heiress, making her blush even more. "I couldn't be happier with how things are about to go."
Coco looked at how red Weiss was again and chuckled. "Oh, so that's why you were red before." That caught Weiss' attention. "I had a feeling you'd be the blushing type, Schnee, especially with Vel being that close to you."
Honestly, Weiss was glad that Coco believed that was the only reason she blushed, when in fact it was much more. "Don't act like you wouldn't blush when you're with Yang."
"Well yeah, but just look at you." Coco smirked.
"Ugh, just call Yang already." Weiss groaned. "I swear Yang is rubbing off on you. You're both insufferable with your teasing."
"Then I'll balance it out for you." Coco responded. "The whole blushing thing. Trust me, you're gonna get used to being seen by other people with your girlfriend when you're being all cute." Coco knew the heiress' embarrassment would show after she said that, hearing the soft groan from the heiress. "Just try to forget about people looking, Weiss." Coco saw the look on Weiss' face, and it wasn't one filled with confidence. "I'm being serious. If you wanna kiss your girlfriend, then you should. Whether people are around you or not."
"You say that like it's easy for any one person." Weiss replied.
"I get what you're trying to defend there, but is thinking so negatively something you wanna do all day? It really isn't smart to do you know." Coco remarked.
"I'd rather we focus on this one at a time, like you said we should do." Weiss spat out.
Coco shrugged, not wanting to tempt her anger more so. She got Yang's number on the scroll and began to call her. After a few moments, Coco heard Yang answer. "Hey! What's up?" Yang had asked when she answered.
"Not much, Yang…well, actually yeah, there is some stuff going on, and I really would appreciate you coming over." Coco requested.
"Okay, you gotta fill me in on what's going on here first. You're making it sound urgent." Yang said.
"Eh, it really is one of those moments where it's better to be here, than me just flat out telling you what's going on." Coco stated.
"You're lucky I'm not busy right now, and if I'm heading over there for whatever reason this is. Do I…you know, get a reward for it later?" Yang asked in a sly tone.
Coco playfully rolled her eyes. "Just hurry and get over here. I'm not waiting all day for you." She then glanced over at the white rabbit pair. "Wait, scratch that, I probably would wait all day, since this isn't really a me thing that's going on right now, and I kinda promised to help out."
"Huh? Oh, wait, are you saying that someone needs help? Is it someone I know?" Yang asked.
"I guess I can tell you that much. It's Weiss, and Vel. They need some help with something and you're the best one that can help with this. So now will you try to hurry?" Coco questioned.
"Weiss? Oh, uh, I guess I'll try, but she hasn't really been in the greatest mood with me. Are you sure she even wants my help?" Yang inquired.
"I'm positive. And when you get here, make sure to only come alone. She says she'd rather not have the others knowing about this little problem she's having." Coco said.
"Any other time, and I would've thought this was something silly, but this is Weiss, and I'm already on her bad side." Yang sighed. "I'll be there in a bit." She ended the call.
Coco turned to the white rabbit pair. "She'll be here soon. You thought about how you're gonna tell her?"
"O-Oh, right." Weiss was visibly shaking at the thought. "M-Maybe you could lead on that." Weiss said to her girlfriend. "I-If you want to that is."
Velvet held Weiss' hand. "Focus on your breathing, Weiss. I'll be able to handle telling her, but I don't want you feeling stressed, so come sit." Velvet led her to the bed and helped her sit. "Is Yang really the person you want to tell?"
Weiss gave a light chuckle. "That's a little too late to go back on. She's heading over here right now."
"Yes, but she doesn't need to know if-." Velvet was stopped when Weiss shook her head. "Weiss?"
"No, you know that isn't the way we're handling this anymore. I just need to think of how to tell her is all." The heiress took a breath and asked. "Any ideas?"
Coco spoke up. "Honestly, telling her right then and there wouldn't be that bad. You'd just have to explain why you guys kept it a secret. And yeah, she might be a little upset that you both wanted to keep something like this from us, she's still gonna be happy that you'll be telling her."
"Just up and telling her still isn't how I wanna start this." Weiss stated.
"You can do the leading thing." Coco smirked. "Maybe get a little payback for the teasing you mentioned. It would be pretty funny, and it would ease the tension you might be feeling."
Velvet chuckled at that. "It really wouldn't be that bad of an option if we keep her guessing."
"Well," Weiss started thinking about the options. "I suppose it could work, but what are we supposed to do to lead her to what we want to tell her?"
"Leave that to me." Velvet said, surprising the heiress, and even Coco. "I like to think of this as something to help us, and to have some fun too." Velvet let out a cheeky smile.
Weiss blushed at that, since she wasn't expecting Velvet to want to do something like that. "Y-You seem to be having a little fun with just thinking of what to say to her."
"A little, but only because it's gonna help us out a lot, and it won't be stressful for you." Velvet leaned over and whispered. "That's the actually reason though. I hate seeing you feeling so stressful."
Another moment where Weiss could feel something in her heart just occurred. It was how Velvet was proving how much she cared for her, making Weiss feel even closer to using that word. "I'll try not to seem that way around you then." She gave the rabbit Faunus a small smile in return, just to assure her that she was in fact feeling a bit better.
Coco closed her eyes and nodded as she lay back on her bed. "You two, I swear. Let me know when Yang gets here. I'm gonna take a nap."
"Huh? Yang is probably going to be getting here in a few minutes, and it's not like she won't knock on the do-." Weiss was cut off by the sounds of Coco snoring. "How in the heck did she fall asleep that fast?"
Velvet giggled. "Oh that's just how she gets sometimes. It's actually a little odd though, since she can go from being a heavy sleeper, to a light one every other night."
Weiss raised an eyebrow, but didn't feel like questioning it. What caught her attention next though, was a call from her partner. "Ruby? I wonder what she wants." Weiss answered her scroll. "Hello, Ruby."
"Hey, Weiss. I was just wondering something, and well, I really wanna try this idea I have, but I don't know if you'd like it." Ruby said.
"And what would that be?" Weiss inquired.
"I know you like spending time with Velvet, and I-."
"Ruby Rose, you better not be near a single person right now." Weiss warned.
"I-I'm not. I swear." Ruby assured. "I was just trying to say that maybe we could all have a team day. You know, just the four of us hanging out, or maybe a training day even."
"Oh, well what is the purpose for this kind of thing?" Weiss wasn't the most connected person with people, so the idea was odd to her, seeing as she only really went out the one time to Vale with everyone.
"We need to connect more. We're a team, and as team leader, I need to make sure you guys are working together. So what do you say?" Ruby was really hoping for a yes.
"I don't know, Ruby. I mean, the training sounds okay, but how would spending the day as a team help? We'd all want to do different things." Weiss argued.
Velvet took note of that, and Ruby said. "But that's the whole point, Weiss. We can learn about what the other person likes to do, and that can help us grow as a team."
Velvet spoke up. "Weiss, I'm not sure if Ruby said anything yet, but I think you should do it."
Weiss sighed. "Ruby, I…suppose if you can get Blake and Yang to agree to this, then I suppose we can do that, but don't try to make this a weekly thing. I can only tolerate so much."
The heiress could hear her partner chuckling on the scroll. "I think tolerating us will be a lot easier once you get to really know us, Weiss. And you know, I can find it easier to tolerate some things you do too." She chuckled again to show her partner she wasn't serious.
"And exactly what is that supposed to mean, Ruby Rose?" Weiss questioned in a slightly annoyed tone.
"I was joking, Weiss. Honest." Ruby replied.
Weiss rolled her eyes. "Fine, well look, Ruby, I don't mean to end the call short, but I have something to deal with. And that is telling your sister about Velvet and I."
Ruby gasped happily. "Really?! You're gonna tell her about-."
"Your voice, Ruby!" Weiss warned.
"Woops!" Ruby yelped. "S-Sorry, Weiss. I was just excited that you're actually gonna tell someone else about, well you know." She avoided saying it.
Weiss sighed, slowly getting to a possible point of regret on telling Ruby, but she was still glad someone like her knew. "I'm going to end this call now, just so I don't have you risking anything else on your raised voice. And we'll talk about this team day later."
"Okay. Thanks for hearing me out on that. Good luck with talking to Yang about you know what. Bye!" Ruby then ended the call.
Weiss shook her head and placed her scroll on the bed. "I swear, this is becoming much more than just attending a combat school."
Velvet leaned close and kissed her cheek. "Is that a bad thing?" She smiled.
"No, no it's not." Weiss responded with a kiss of her own, and then looked down at her scroll. "Where is she? I know it isn't a long walk from my dorm to yours."
"Maybe she wasn't in the dorm. Do you want me to call her to see?" Velvet offered.
Before Weiss could answer, they both heard a knock on the door. They separated quickly, and Velvet went to answer the door, while Weiss walked over to wake up Coco. "Okay, why is this door locked?" Yang asked from the other side of the door.
"I got it, Yang." Velvet said as she opened the door. "Hey."
"Hey, Velvet." Yang looked over and snorted at the sight of Weiss trying to wake Coco up. "You doing alright there, Weiss?" She grinned.
Weiss groaned. "Just come over here and wake her up. Apparently shaking this girl doesn't do a thing."
"That's because you're too gentle." Yang walked over. "Now then. " She flicked Coco's forehead, getting a groan from her. "It's really not that hard, Weiss."
Coco slowly opened her eyes. "Oh, it's you." She sat up. "Why the heck did you flick my forehead…again?" She rubbed her forehead and glared at her girlfriend.
Yang leaned over and kissed the spot on Coco's forehead that she flicked. "Does that make it better?"
Coco rolled her eyes, but then let out a smile. "Yeah, I guess it does." She looked over at Weiss. "Right, well let's talk about what I wanted you here for."
Yang noticed Coco was looking at Weiss. "Huh?" She turned to the heiress. "Oh, what's wrong, Weiss? Coco told me you and Velvet needed some help." Yang was still a little worried about helping Weiss.
Weiss looked to Velvet for a little help, so the rabbit Faunus nodded. "I can answer that, Yang." Velvet said. "We're dealing with a bit of a problem. And the thing is, you're the one person we need to talk to about it."
"Me? But Coco is right here, and doesn't she know about whatever it is you're talking about?" Yang asked.
"Yes, but," Velvet smirked. "The truth is…Weiss and I both love you so much." After Velvet said that, Weiss and Yang's eyes widen, while Coco was trying to hold back her laughter.
"W-Whoa what?!" Yang exclaimed. "What the heck are you talking about? You both…love me? W-What?!" Yang was still utterly confused by Velvet's fake confession.
Velvet giggled and walked over. "Well you and Coco seem so happy together, so Weiss and I thought we could all share you, right, Weiss." She glanced over her shoulder and winked at the heiress.
This idea Velvet thought of made the heiress see that she can have a teasing, and fun side to her. Instead of not following up, Weiss decided to let go and join in on the fun, but only because it was her girlfriend that started it. "Oh, why yes, that sounds like a great idea." She walked over and grinned. "Yang, we would love it if you said yes."
Yang was in shock by how even Weiss was saying those things, so she looked to Coco. "Are you just gonna sit there?! Help me out with this!"
"Nah, you gotta decide, blondie. Do you want one girlfriend, or three?" Coco questioned, still wishing to laugh, but she held it in.
Yang turned back to Weiss and Velvet, who were both offering their hands to her. "Come on, Yang. You know it wouldn't hurt to be in this kind of relationship. All of us get to be with you." Velvet said, secretly loving how embarrassed Yang looked.
"I-I…Well…I mean, like, I don't," Yang turned to Coco. "Please help me!" Weiss started to laugh, causing Yang to turn to her. Since Weiss laughed, Coco and Velvet joined in on the laughter. "W-What the heck is so funny?!"
Weiss laughed for a good twenty seconds before she took a few breaths. "I-I'm sorry, Yang." She giggled a bit. "It's just that I never expected something like that to be so funny."
"I told you it was a good idea." Velvet smiled.
"Good idea? Okay, that's it! Spill it already!" Yang demanded.
Coco got up and patted her back. "Hey, don't get all pissed off so easily. Let them explain, and then you'll understand why we were laughing. And if you do calm down, you can stay here after we're done, for some…alone time."
Yang blushed at that, but she did want that, so she nodded and took a breath. "Alright, I'm calm. Now will you guys tell me what's going on?"
Velvet nodded. "Please sit down first." Yang walked over and sat on Coco's bed, while Weiss and Velvet sat on the opposite one. "That whole thing with us saying we love you was just a joke. We kinda wanted to lead you on something, but I thought it be better to ease some tension and have a little fun with some teasing."
Yang sighed. "Shit, guys. Don't scare me like that. I can't handle three girlfriends, and no offense, but I only like Coco…"
"Aw, I'm so flattered." Coco said as she sat next to Yang.
Weiss spoke up next. "That's the next thing…we…um," She looked to Velvet. "C-Can you?"
"Of course." The rabbit Faunus assured. "Yang, do you ever think about how you started to like Coco? And how you wanted to approach her?"
"Oh, well I mean, yeah, but to be honest, I don't look back on the past that often with that. We're together now, and I couldn't be happier." Yang said as she scooted closer to Coco.
Velvet smiled. "I'm happy for you guys, and I hope you'd be happy for…well two other people, which leads me to my next question. How well can you keep a secret?"
Yang started wondering more at that point. "Okay, you're really starting to freak me out here. I can keep a secret and all, but why is it that you're saying I'm the only one that can help? And why are you making it sound so dire."
Weiss was glad that Velvet helped her relax more, so the next thing she did was all the easier for her. She moved her hand onto Velvet's. "Yang, back when Velvet was in the hospital after that day…I…told her something that I don't regret."
Yang looked down at Weiss' hand on Velvet's. "Weiss."
"I told her that I cared a lot about her, and I wanted to be with her." Weiss took a breath. "What I'm saying is, well, we're together." Weiss admitted.
Yang blinked, and thought about the time she locked Velvet and Weiss in a room together. She also thought about how much Weiss would go out just to talk with Velvet, and how she helped take care of her during her recovery. "How the hell was I that blind?" Yang placed her hands on her head in shock by how she didn't catch on the whole time.
"Yang, focus." Weiss said. "This is serious. I…I don't want anyone else to know at the moment, since we plan on telling the others one at a time."
"Weiss, I already said I'd keep it a secret, but…you know I kinda wanna know more about this. Like, shit, this is so out of nowhere." Yang stated.
Velvet spoke up. "You deserve to know that much."
It didn't take long to tell Yang about all the events that led up to them getting together. Yang was actually feeling a bit better about that day she locked them in a room. She did still feel a little bad, but she thought about how it may have actually helped the two out. They even told her how Ruby, Vezel, and Winter all know at that point too.
"Damn, that's just…well unexpected to be honest, but I guess that's cause I was blind to it. Still though, I am happy for you guys." Yang smiled.
Weiss frowned. "Yang, about when you said you like to help your friends. I just wanted to say thank you. I don't…I don't know a lot about being close to people. So the fact that you even consider me a friend-."
Yang stopped her when she got up and hugged her. "Weiss, you know you have a bunch of friends here. Look at Ruby, Blake, all of JNPR, CFVY. You have friends, so don't ever doubt that." She pulled away. "And yeah, we get on each other's nerves sometimes, but that won't change anything between all of us."
Velvet held Weiss' hand a little tighter. "You know she's right, Weiss."
Weiss looked at the smile on Yang's face. "You and Ruby can really do wonders with words. It makes sense, since you are sisters." That got a chuckle from Yang. "Thank you, Yang."
Yang nodded and patted Weiss' shoulder. "No problem, Weiss. And hey, now that I know about you and Vel, we should so go on double dates."
"Oh you know that's gonna happen." Coco suddenly said.
"W-What?" Weiss was a little nervous about the idea.
"Trust me, Weiss. You'd actually really like it. It takes out the stress of a date, and we can have a lot of fun around town." Coco assured.
Weiss took a breath. "Velvet, how do you feel about that? Would a double date be okay?"
"It really does sound fun, so I'm in." Velvet happily leaned over and rested her head on Weiss' shoulder.
Yang was still a little surprised at that, but in all honesty, she was happy she learned about it. "I can't wait to see how Weiss is on a date."
"Are you insinuating that I can't handle being on a date, you blonde brute?" Weiss glared at the blonde.
Coco looked over at Velvet and gave her a light chuckle at how their girlfriends began to argue with each other. Their double date was going to be one to remember, if those two were going to argue a bunch during it.
I may start including more than one person being told each chapter, just so I won't drag it out too long. And yes, the double date chapter will happen. I just don't know when.
To JJ- That chapter is going to be fun when I get to it. All that is in the way, is them telling the others, and the double date night. And the reactions are more on the 'whoa, I didn't expect that' side.
To the guest on chapter 33- I'm glad you like it and all, but please refrain from leaving comments like that. I have 4 stories I work on my own, so it isn't easy bringing out updates that quickly.
I hoped you all enjoyed chapter 34. Remember, reviews are welcomed, but not required. See you all in chapter 35.
