Weiss was not having the best of days.
It had started out well enough with a breakfast of eggs and toast, along with coffee that was the perfect temperature. But before long she was joined by the others, the rest of her team and those of Team JNPR.
Which, of course, included her partner and her two girlfriends.
The heiress glanced at the trio of girls as unobtrusively as possible out of the corner of her eye as she blew across the top of her coffee mug. They were relaxed and joking as always, contented happy smiles on their faces. Blake was gently teasing Ruby about the amount of sugar in her coffee, while Pyrrha tried to sneak a bite of cheesy eggs off of the brunette's plate. Ruby noticed and tried fending her off with a fork, which the redhead responded to by quickly darting in to give her a kiss.
Leaving Ruby distracted enough for Blake to take a bite off of her plate.
The white-haired girl shook her head slowly, an unwilling and rueful smile spreading across her face. There was just something about the three of them, the way they were so comfortable with each other, so carefree and lighthearted.
She couldn't say she was jealous, really, because Weiss Schnee does not get jealous.
But she did really, really wish she had something as wonderful as the three of them shared.
And the thought simply would not leave her for the rest of the day. Certainly, she'd given them some consideration before, quite a bit when they had started out in their relationship. It was a rather difficult concept for the heiress to wrap her head around, the fact that Ruby could be in love with two women at the same time. Much less that each woman returned the gesture. And then, when it became obvious that Blake and Pyrrha were also in love with each other?
To put it succinctly, her mind was blown.
After their morning classes, the group of them had headed out to the grounds to enjoy the nice weather and get some studying in. Ruby, Blake, and Pyrrha were all clustered around a large tree that she'd seen the Cat Faunus recline beneath previously, while Yang hung out with Nora, Ren, and Jaune several yards away. The latter group was mostly chatting away, though Ren did try to keep them on task.
Weiss sat by herself in between the two groups, facing the trio under the tree. She kept observing them, and every interaction they had, every loving gesture no matter how small, was carefully dissected in her mind, trying to figure out how they worked.
"What is it about them that I cannot seem to leave alone?" she mused to herself quietly.
Her face flushed in embarrassment as Blake's bow twitched, but she quickly buried her face in a textbook before the raven-haired girl could meet her gaze.
Stupid, stupid, stupid… Why would I say something like that out loud when I know she can hear me?
And she could feel those amber eyes boring into her now, joined by silver and emerald green ones now that the quiet conversation across the way had stopped. Unable to keep her calm demeanor any further, Weiss quickly scooped up her books and papers and hurried back to the dorm.
It's bad enough I can't seem to keep my mind off of them, but now they know it! I'm sure the teasing will be endless, especially if Yang gets wind of this…
Her face was hot from the blush covering her cheeks, and she kept her head resolutely down as she raced up the stairs. Whipping out her scroll, she unlocked the door and hurried into the room, slamming it behind her.
Weiss strode over to her desk, setting the objects in her hands down with an irritable huff.
Calm… Just breathe, it is not like me to be this flustered…
"What is even wrong with me?" she whispered, her hands clenched where they rested on the desk.
She jumped slightly as the door opened behind her, and the three subjects of her odd recent obsession walked through.
Oh, Dust damn it all…
"Weiss?" her brunette partner spoke up hesitantly. "Are you okay?"
"I'm… fine, Ruby. Honestly. Just… a bit warm outside, I needed to cool off."
Blake walked over to sit on the edge of the bed she now shared with the other two. "It's more than that, Weiss. You've been acting very strangely lately, staring at the three of us when you don't think we'd notice. And I heard what you said outside."
The tall redhead sat next to her Faunus girlfriend while Ruby remained standing close to Weiss. "I realize I am not your teammate, but I do consider you a friend," Pyrrha stated solemnly. "Please let us help you."
"I just…" Weiss closed her eyes in frustration. "I don't know what's wrong with me, I can't seem to stop thinking about the three of you, and what you have, and…"
She was startled by a small pair of strong arms that slipped around her. Ruby pulled her in close and into a warm hug. "It's okay, Weiss," the brunette murmured. "We're here for you, alright?"
The heiress relaxed into the embrace, uncharacteristic in her acceptance of the physical comfort.
She was not, however, prepared for another pair of bodies pressing into her and surrounding her in warmth.
"W- What…?" she stammered.
"Is this what you want?" Blake asked softly.
"Something like this, in a group?" Pyrrha added.
"I d- don't know…" Weiss closed her eyes once more against the sensation. Was this what she wanted, or was it just the promise of intimacy with one person?
Did she really desire to be this close to more than one girl?
"You know," Ruby murmured. "There's always room for one more."
"R- Really?" Weiss breathed. "I'm, um… I'm not sure about… well…"
Her brow furrowed at the sound of her alarm going off. It's the middle of the day, why did I even have my alarm set?
And then she blinked her eyes open, ensconced beneath the covers of her bed. She automatically reached over to silence her alarm, gazing across the room to where Ruby, Blake, and Pyrrha slept peacefully.
With a grunt of irritation, the heiress flopped her head back against her pillow. "That is the last time I borrow one of Blake's books to read before bed," she groaned in embarrassment.
A/N: Sooo… April Fool's! Heh. I actually did have another chapter lined up, but then I read THB4's review, and I was like, 'oh that's too awesome an opportunity to pass up', so there we go. What would we even call a four-way with Purruby and Weiss? Frozen Purruby? Greek Pollination?
Dream chapters are always enjoyable to write.
Tomorrow's posting will be fun, though, I think y'all might enjoy it. For real this time.
ILikeHotDogs: I'm with ya on the beer. Can't stand the stuff.
FelipeCH98: Many thanks for the kind words. Yeah, this fluffy crack is definitely going to stay off-rails and become AU, but it's still fun nonetheless. What could have been, right?
TheDemonAngel935: There is no plot here, what is this heresy! Well, okay, maybe a teeny tiny little bit of plot, just to keep things moving along… otherwise such contrivances shall be cheerfully ignored.
Guest: It's so fluffy I'm gonna die!
growlscout: Heh, I think perhaps Pyrrha just hadn't really considered it before. And yeah, they definitely have their little Alpha's back, just as she has theirs.
Gorsouul: And as always, thanks for the review and the kind words!
THB4: You're really pushing for the Sloth Queen shenanigans, ain't ya? Whelp, instead of Purruby pranking others, you'll just have to be satisfied with me pranking you. Even if it was only a little bitty prank.
kaiju62: Ehhh see you keep using this 'plot', of which I studiously try to avoid… I mean, yes there's still other stuff going on, we have a side thing with Weiss (spoiler alert, might just get some resolution next chapter), and then the trip to Patch which will include meeting Taiyang, oh and at some point you know they're gonna take the final step ('cause that's what Bind is all about)... We've got gaming, clubbing, drinking, nurturing… And all that's just what I have planned out so far. But! I steadfastly refuse to call any of this plot. It is all for the love of fluff.
TacoKing23: Heh, Ruby does truly defy expectations...
Stay shiny!
