Weiss ran away too quickly for Blake to follow. Weiss had spun one of her little speed glyphs and had vanished before Blake could even reach out in attempt to grab her, the door to Yang's room slamming shut in Blake's face. Swiftly, Blake threw the door open, casting a glance behind her to send a reassuring look to Yang before chasing after Weiss. Blake felt a bit bad about leaving Yang alone. After all, Yang seemed just as torn up about all this. But, given the choice between Weiss and anyone, Blake would always choose Weiss.
A second door slammed shut. Judging by the way the air had considerably chilled around Weiss' room, Blake guessed that would be where Weiss was hiding. She knocked on the door, then stepped in without waiting for Weiss' reply.
Weiss threw herself at Blake, clutching her arms tightly around Blake's neck and folding her body into Blake's. She rested her chin on Blake's shoulder, not letting go.
Blake wrapped her arms around Weiss' waist tenderly. She felt a couple of wet droplets tumble onto her nape. "Weiss," Blake pleaded, her heart breaking for the princess.
Weiss didn't answer. She didn't so much as whimper. She just held on as tightly as she could — crying silently, never making a sound.
They stayed like that for a few minutes. Then Blake unwrapped her arms, pushing Weiss away so she could see her face. The anger hadn't left Weiss' expression yet. Leaning down, Blake fluttered kisses on Weiss' face with a smile. She made sure to kiss every last tear away.
Weiss stifled a giggle and playfully pawed at Blake. "Stop it, I'm angry right now."
"Mmm," Blake murmured, nuzzling Weiss' cheek and then resting her forehead against Weiss'.
"Really, Blake," Weiss asserted, pulling away from Blake. "Maybe you should stay away from me for a bit. I'm not going to be very good company." She said as her hand found Blake's and squeezed.
"As long as it's your company," Blake smiled, rubbing her thumb over Weiss' hand.
Weiss blushed and looked away.
"Do you want to talk about it?" Blake prodded gently, moving to sit on the armchair by the window, trailing Weiss behind her.
"It's a long story," Weiss sighed as she rolled her eyes, standing in front of Blake and swinging their interlocked hands back and forth.
"I want to hear it," Blake continued, pulling Weiss closer. Blake beamed up at Weiss. "I want to know everything about you."
Weiss climbed onto Blake's lap, wrapping her arms around Blake's neck so that she could fiddle with Blake's hair and her fuzzy cute little ears. Weiss felt Blake snake her arms around Weiss' waist ever so gently.
"Well," Weiss began. She turned herself around to sit half on Blake and half off then rested her hands on top of Blake's. "In case you haven't gathered already — I never wanted to be heir. At all…"
And so began her story.
Bang… Bang. Bang.
Yang banged her head on her desk.
This wasn't real. This was a dream. A very bad dream. Or a very good dream, depending on how you looked at it. On the bright side — she was the heir. On the downside — she now had to catch up on every little detail she sorta slacked off on when she wasn't she heir.
Also, why was it on the bright side but not on the dark side? Or upside and downside? What was up with that expression?
Focus, Yang. The blonde mentally scolded herself.
But seriously, Yang had to resist the urge to crumple the scroll in front of her and toss it to the other side of the room. The all too formal scroll will thing that stated, very clearly in bold handwriting, that she was, and always will be, the heir — unless she died, of course, in which case if Yang hadn't named a successor by then, Weiss could either take her seat or name a replacement. But anyways, Yang digressed. What the hell? As soon as Yang had resigned herself to becoming the most epic healer in the world, she gets to be heir again.
But then again, she was heir again.
Or not heir. But like, master. Or whatever it was you called people that had inherited what they were supposed to inherit. Master of the house. Yeah, that.
Very mixed feelings, needless to say.
She let her head drop to bang on the table one more time. This time, she stayed there and closed her eyes.
Glass shattered.
Yang perked up immediately. Turning her head in all directions, trying to pinpoint where that sound had come from. That was the sound right? Yang hadn't imagined it? That was the portal-teleportation sound that Neo made right?
Yet all she saw was an empty room.
Yang blinked, assessing everything yet again. She hadn't imagined that had she? The door was closed still, as it was when Blake had left in her worried fury. The medical supplies were all around the room since Yang had a tendency to move about. The bed was still made a bit too neatly. Her posters were still framed on the wall. The air in the room hadn't stirred…
Okay, so Yang probably imagined that.
This is what happens when she gets barely any sleep helping a cute, but feisty and hell-a dangerous assassin, and then is tackled with life-changing stressful news by her also little and feisty and hell-a dangerous sister. People go crazy dealing with people like this.
Yang turned back to the scroll in hand.
So she was the heir.
Yang leaned back in her chair, taking a deep breath and closing her eyes.
When she was ready, she sat up, grabbed the phone and dialled a familiar number.
"Hey, Neptune? Yeah. I'm going to need the last couple weeks of reports… Yeah? Yeah. Well— long story. And could you let Ren know I might need his help for a couple things? Yenno. The usual… No I will. But I want to get things organized and go through a preliminary check first before I talk to Weiss about the finer details…" Yang smiled despite herself. "And do you mind calling a few restaurants for me? I kinda owe Weiss an apology and a huge fucking thank you."
Hey guys~
So I'm back ^^. Although I have some good news and bad news for you guys. Good news: I have plotted the ending of the story! Bad news: You guys will probably kill me when you read it.
LOL. Just kidding. I do have news though. I'm going to start writing a Love Live University AU fanfic with Eri x Umi as the main pairing. Because of this, I'll probably alternate between Love Live updates and RWBY updates daily.
In other words: RWBY updates will now be once every two days, give or take!
Thanks again for reading guys~ I can't express how much your support means to me!
