Chapter 15
The three women from team RWBY started making their way to their dorm as Nora excitedly chattered to Pyrrha, despite their defeat, a short distance behind them. Weiss was exhausted; her aura had taken a beating. Noticing her distress, Neo slipped herself under Weiss's arm and did what she could to support her as they walked. Concern for the white-haired girl covered her face.
Blake gently laughed. "Don't worry about the Ice Queen, Neo. She's always like this after a particularly stressful fight. She's more of a finesse kind of fighter; battling Nora's more 'brute force' kind of strategy rarely works out well for her."
Weiss tried to give Neo a small hug-slash-squeeze, but she was feeling the impact of their recent brawl and was unable to generate much force for the move.
Neo smiled and reached up to Weiss's hand draped across her small shoulders and took it in hers as she laced their fingers together. Weiss leaned down and planted a small kiss on top of Neo's head.
Blake, slipped off behind them a small bit was tapping away at her scroll. She put the device away and told her teammates that she was going to hang out with Pyrrha and Nora, and that Yang and Ruby were on their way to meet them so they could spar Ren and Jaune for a while. Weiss waved her acknowledgement over her shoulder and kept walking as the other three girls diverted towards the gym.
"Can we meet you for lunch afterwards? I need a while to shower and recover a bit." Weiss asked.
"Sounds good. We'll meet you after the boys mop the floor with your teammates!" Nora taunted as the group parted ways.
As they arrived in their room, Weiss fell heavily onto the bed and was determined to seize an opportunity that she knew she couldn't possibly waste while they were going to have some privacy for a while.
"Neo?" Weiss ventured as she pat the spot on the bed next to her.
The small woman sat and pulled one leg up so she could face the girl.
"Do you think that you'd hop in the shower with me?"
Both eyes flashed pink as she stiffened at the suggestion.
"I'm sorry, no. You're right… Forget I said anything."
Jumping up, Neo grabbed Weiss's hands and pulled her to a standing position. Placing her hands on Weiss's shoulders, she gently wobbled the girl and braced her. Even though Weiss seemed fine, Neo gave her a wink.
"Umm, yeah. I am still a little worried about being a bit unstable on my feet after that match."
Winking again, Neo slipped under the heiress's arm and walked the girl over to grab up their toiletries and towels before the lead them into the bathroom. She sat Weiss down on the edge of the tub, positioned all of their essentials, and turned the water on. Neo smiled as she started slipping Weiss's uniform jacket off her shoulders. Folding it neatly, as Neo thought the heiress would appreciate, she placed it on the counter before reaching for the girl's vest and blouse buttons, undoing each in turn, removing both articles at once. She was shocked to see that the heiress wasn't wearing a bra, only a simple camisole that hugged her stunning frame like a second set of skin. She slid to her knees and took the heel of Weiss's shoes and pulled one off, then the other, followed immediately by her over-the-calf dress socks. Neo took her time; she let her fingers linger over the musculature of the girl's calves that was hidden under the dark fabric as she slid them down and off.
Weiss took Neo's extended hand and let her help as they both stood up. Neo turned Weiss around and her fingers found the small zipper at Weiss's hip. With a delicate touch, she slid it down. The fabric of the skirt parted and exposed more fabric than she expected to see. Neo was pleasantly surprised that the posh little princess wore boy-shorts instead of something a little more feminine.
Weiss crossed her hands over her chest and turned to see Neo smirking at her backside. "What?!"
Neo traced the edge of the fabric and ran her finger down the outside of Weiss's hip over the leg of the shorts as she raised an eyebrow and shrugged a little.
"Well, I do wear a combat skirt when fighting and while in class or practicing, I have a uniform with a skirt. And my fighting style is rather acrobatic. A girl of my standing simply must protect her modesty!" She said with a small chuckle.
Neo looped her fingers through the waistband of Weiss's shorts and pulled the stunning heiress close. Standing on her tiptoes, she planted a small, sweet kiss on the girl's lips. Taking a small step back, Neo practically ripped her uniform off and tossed it into a crumpled pile on the floor. A sharp contrast to the care she extended to Weiss's uniform, which was neatly folded and stacked on the counter.
Completely naked, with her hands on her hips, Neo raised one corner of her mouth into a half smile and looked down to Weiss's panties then up to the arms crossed over her chest. She raised an eyebrow and flashed her eyes brown before returning them to their normal coloration.
Weiss turned so her back was to Neo and slipped her remaining garment off and promptly stepped into the shower behind the curtain.
Neo shook her head and rolled her eyes as she moved past the curtain and ensured it was closed. Neo closed her eyes and enjoyed the feeling of the water washing over her again. She slicked back her hair and enjoyed the heaviness that accompanied the water weighing it down. After so many years as a criminal that required a great deal of hiding out, she wasn't always able to take regular showers, and she never had an array of clean clothes to change into. Nor was her combat outfit cleaned frequently. She appreciated the chance to learn at Beacon, but even more than that, the simple fact of being able to live like a decent human, with a home, shower, and clean clothing. Say nothing for the simple joy of not being hungry all the time with regular access to incredible food… She felt the tears well in her eyes and knew she couldn't stop them.
Weiss heard a small sound from behind her. Neo's breath caught and was now irregular. She turned and saw the tiny woman leaning against the wall, her body shaking and shoulders heaving. Water, no ~ tears, ran down her face. She reached out to Neo and placed a hand on her cheek. Neo's hand covered Weiss's and held it there. With nothing else she could think to tell the girl, she smiled and placed her other hand over her heart and bowed her head.
"Why are you thanking me?"
Neo realized that a girl of Weiss's upbringing would never understand; she'd figure out how to tell the heiress her story some other time. Instead, she simply shook her head 'no' and tapped at the nonexistent watch on her wrist.
"Okay. Later then."
Neo nodded her head and stepped in towards Weiss. Wrapping her arms around the girl, she hugged her tightly and kissed her neck and earlobe a couple of times. This girl… Neo caressed her back and ran her fingers through the girl's silken white hair. Weiss stiffened a little as Neo's hands cupped her bottom and give its toned shape a squeeze. Weiss looked down into Neo's wide eyes and felt her body relax. Neo felt a pair of hands slip over her shoulders and caress her back, they parted at her lower back and ran over top of her hips. She smiled at Weiss's timidity as she buried her face into the girl's shoulder.
"Since you're one of the first I've ever confessed that I'm a lesbian to, I guess it shouldn't be as hard to tell you that you're the first person I've ever dated, I mean, if, ugh, if that's what we're doing. If not, that's fine too, but I just want you to know that you're the first person I've ever, umm, touched like this or let touch me. I'm still a little nervous about all of it."
Neo pulled back and raised both eyebrows at Weiss's use of the phrase 'a little'.
"Don't be a pest! Fine, more than 'a little' nervous… I'm just afraid that I'm not going to be good enough or pretty enough or whatever enough for you."
Mouth agape; Neo couldn't believe what the girl in front of her was saying. How could Weiss Schnee ever think that she wasn't good enough for anyone, much less a woman of her history? How could this stunning Snow Angel not see how beautiful she was? Neo took Weiss's face in her hands, pulled her downward, and passionately kissed her. She pushed Weiss back slightly she pointed to the girl and extended all of her fingers, drew a line in the air and extended all of her fingers again under where she made the line.
"Umm? I'm ten over ten?" Weiss was confused.
Exasperated, Neo gestured to Weiss's face and made a sweeping motion, taking in the girl's entire body.
"Wait, you're telling me I'm a "perfect ten"?" Weiss asked, unbelieving.
Flipping her hands out with a flamboyant flourish as if saying 'duh', Neo's eyes were wide.
"It's just that no one's has ever said that and really meant it. I knew that boys were only really interested in me because of my last name. As if they saw me as their ticket to wealth and power."
Neo couldn't believe that Weiss didn't fully appreciate her own beauty. Well, there are things about my life that she'll never understand. Makes sense that there's more to Weiss than I can guess at. She let both eyes go pink and looked compassionately at the girl in front of her. Weiss met her gaze, but didn't speak. Realizing that they had already been in the shower a while, Neo reached for her soap and shower poof. She handed the lathered-up item to Weiss and turned her back to the girl. She winked as she looked back at Weiss over her shoulder and pointed to her back.
With a gulp, Weiss began tentatively washing the small woman's back. Sure, she saw Neo naked when the woman pulled her little stunt the other day. Sure, she saw Neo naked when she ripped her clothes off and waited for Weiss to strip off her panties to get into the shower. Sure, they've been naked together for the last several minutes. But now, now Weiss just stared as she took in the sight of this tiny, lithe, toned little ball of feminine beauty in front of her. How could this gorgeous woman, who, despite her past seemed to be incredibly caring with a heart far too big for her tiny frame, have taken an interest in someone as plain as she was?
Neo noticed that Weiss had stopped scrubbing. She turned around and saw the thousand-yard stare in those icy blue eyes. She took the poof, slid past Weiss, and began scrubbing her back. One hand using the poof to soap her while the other slid easily across the girl's slippery back. Weiss seemed to relax against Neo's hands, as she let the woman partially support her. When she finished, she gave Weiss's bottom a nice slap, which echoed in the shower. The girl let out a yelp of surprise that delighted Neo. Silly girl!
They finished up and took turns drying the other off before they settled into their respective routines. Neo's was far quicker than Weiss's, of course. She gave Weiss a hug, gathered her things, and returned to the bedroom. With a bit of effort, she wriggled into her now clean combat outfit; she was going to have to remember that her pants always shrunk a little when she washed them. At least there was one advantage to not cleaning this regularly. Didn't have to look ridiculous doing this weird dance.
After she put her things away, she rifled through Weiss's side of their closet and pulled out the girl's combat skirt. As she laid it out it on the bed, she drifted into thinking about how cute the petite girl looked in it. She then lined up their shoes by the door. She took a seat at Weiss's desk and started to jot a few notes. They still needed to run back to the tailor and pick up the rest of her uniforms – "uniforms" was the first item on the list. But, she was incredibly hungry after the match with Pyrrha and Nora, so he dining hall was more important right now though. They were supposed to go to lunch after, but the additional match between Ruby / Yang and Jaune / Ren and Weiss's idea for a private shower together delayed that task. "Food" was added above "uniforms". She also needed to know what the schedule for the rest of the week looked like. Weiss helped her prepare for Oobleck's class, but none of the others. She should probably get a handle on that since she was now going to have to plan her week a bit more than she was used to doing in her previous life. Writing "schedule? / study" on the paper, she nibbled the end of the pen and thought about what else needed to be done that night. A cheeky thought and smile prompted her final addition as Weiss entered the room – "make out / sexy-times ;-)"
As Weiss pulled on her combat skirt, she asked Neo what she was working on. Neo simply held up her list and waved it around.
"Well, I can't see what it is if you keep thrashing it around."
With a mock huff, Neo turned her chair around and extended her arm and the paper towards Weiss. The girl grabbed it as soon as she finished tying her belt and started looking around for her white bolero jacket.
"Absolutely, I'm starving… We can stop after grabbing food… The schedule's pretty easy, classes are light and the emphasis is on practice. Oobleck's been known to spring surprise tests on us, I just wanted you to be prepared in case he did… Wait! What?" The girl felt a blushing heat on her pale cheeks, as she looked up in shock.
Neo puckered her lips and make a kissy-face at the flustered heiress. Weiss however recovered quickly and growled at her before saying that she was going to abandon Neo to fend for herself if she wasn't ready to head to the cafeteria in the next three seconds.
Given how easy it was to get Weiss so worked up, she realized that it would probably become her new favorite hobby while at Beacon. She joined Weiss at the door and slipped on her shoes, using Weiss as support, before hugging her and darting out the door. She looked back into the room and made an irritated gesture as she tapping her foot and pointed at her wrist ~ the implication was clear, she was accusing Weiss for causing the holdup.
With an annoyed huff, Weiss stormed out, slammed the door, grabbed Neo by the back of her jacket and started to drag her towards the cafeteria. "You're even worse than Ruby normally is."
Despite her the outward annoyance, both women sported huge smiles, unseen by the other, at the others' antics.
A/N: Sorry for the delay ~ but, you were warned that this month is going to be rough! I'm still working on the editing and I'm doing what I can to juggle it with NaNoWriMo and the little thing that happened a couple days ago and some other stuff.
Hope you liked having a bit more of a fight scene from Monday's piece.
Take care and thanks for reading, reviewing, following, and favorite-ing.
