"Hello Yang, hello Weiss," Blake said cheerfully as she walked into hospital room 343, carrying a plastic bag in her hand and closing the sliding door behind her.. Both girls looked up at the black haired girl who had entered the neat hospital room, Yang perked up at the sight of the plastic bag in Blake's hand.

"Hello Blake!" Weiss replied with a small wave from her spot next to Ruby's still unconscious form. After she had overcome her guilt with Yang's help Weiss had been immovable from her spot beside Ruby, determined to make up for the time she had missed while she had drowned her sorrows in alcohol.

"YOU BROUGHT FOOD!" Yang exclaimed as she jumped out of her seat on the other side of Ruby's bed, her stomach audibly growling as she rushed towards the Faunus girl.

"Down Yang," Blake commanded as she put her hand on Yang's chest and kept her at arm's length while keeping the bag of food out of her reach. Yang looked down at her chest where Blake's hand was located and smiled, looking up into Blakes amber eyes with a wicked glint in her eyes.

"Well, if you won't give me the food I guess I'll just have to eat something else," she said in a low voice, finishing it with a wink making Blake's face flush a brilliant red, which contrasted with her pale skin and her cat ears lying flat against her head in embarrassment.

"Just take the food you fiend," Blake mumbled as she pushed the bag into a triumphant Yang's hands.

"Thank god you two controlled yourselves," Weiss groused as she sat up a little straighter. Yang threw Weiss an evil look

"Says the girl who I found in bed with my sister."

"Alright, alright, I see your point just stop talking," Weiss hurriedly said as she also turned a deep red, averting her eyes from Yang's. Yang, happy that she had embarrassed both girls in the room, took her seat again and started pulling white to-go boxes out of the bag. Her mouth was practically watering as she started opening the boxes.

"I love chinese food!" she yelled as she found the box with her pork fried rice and her sweet and sour chicken.

Weiss was more dignified in grabbing her food, though she kept her eyes averted from Yang's at all cost. She took her seat back down next to Ruby and opened her container: a cup of egg drop soup.

"Yang, try not to make a mess everywhere," Blake chided as she took a seat beside Yang while the aforementioned girl started digging in. Blake had some sushi made of assorted kinds of fish.

"Yeah, yeah," the blonde girl replied flippantly between bites of her food. Weiss just shook her head at the uncivilized way the other girl ate as she slowly ate her soup. The three girls lapsed into silence while they ate. They had nothing new to talk about after spending days together in Ruby's room. All of them were waiting for the younger girl to awaken. Blake had become the person who left to get food for the girls, because Yang and Weiss were both adamant about not leaving the room for any reason, though Weiss did force herself and Yang to leave the room and bathe.

Weiss was putting another spoonful of soup into her mouth when she felt the bed move slightly. Turning her head to look at Ruby to make sure everything was alright Weiss felt the spoon fall out of her mouth and hit the bed where it rested.

"It… can't be," she thought numbly as she looked at a sight she hadn't seen in nearly two weeks. Blake and Yang hadn't noticed the small movement of the bed like Weiss had, but they had noticed Weiss dropping her spoon.

"Weiss, what's wrong?" Blake asked.

"Weiss…" Yang started before she saw where Weiss' eyes were trained and followed their path until her eyes rested on the same sight.

"This can't be happening," Yang thought, her mouth hanging open agape and her beloved chinese food forgotten as she dropped her fork as well.

Blake by this point saw where both girls were looking and also looked there, she gasped as she looked at Ruby's bed. "This must be a dream," she thought, not believing what she was seeing. None of them quite believed what they were seeing.

Weiss gazed down in shock at the face of her girlfriend, the face she had looked upon for the last week, which was still the same except for one crucial change, and also was the reason all of them were dumbstruck. Ice blue eyes met silver for the first time in two weeks. Weiss felt an immense sense of elation filling her person. "Ruby is… Ruby is awake!" she thought over and over again, not entirely believing that she wasn't dreaming as she looked into Ruby's eyes.

"Ru-Ruby?" Weiss asked after she had swallowed past the lump that had formed in her throat. Ruby looked up into Weiss' eyes for a moment, trying to take everything in as she tried to get her bearings .

"We...Wei...Weiss" Ruby managed to croak out, her throat dry and not used to speaking after two weeks.

"Ruby!" Weiss cried in joy, it finally sinking in that this wasn't a dream now that the younger girl had spoke. Yang and Blake both started tearing up at the realization that Ruby was finally awake was sinking in for them as well. Weiss threw her arms around Ruby's neck and began kissing the girl all over her face. the others completely forgotten as Weiss was lost in her joy. After a moment of this Weiss merely hugged Ruby, content to just be with her again.

"Wei...Weiss," Ruby said as she tried to sit up, failing on account of her casts and her clinging girlfriend. Weiss sat up to look down at Ruby, savoring the sight of those alert silver eyes that she loved.

"Yes, Ruby?" she asked, concern lacing her voice. Ruby locked eyes with Weiss as she coughed a few times to try and clear her throat.

"Come closer, I have something important to tell you."

"What is it?" Weiss asked, Ruby looked at her with a serious expression.

"It's about how I'm feeling. I think something is wrong."

"What is it!?" Weiss asked hurriedly "Oh god no!" she thought in panic, her mind going through all the possible things that could be wrong..

"Lean a little closer," was all Ruby answered with. Weiss leaned in closer, her ear practically brushing against Ruby's lips.

"What is it, Ruby?" she asked quietly since she was so close to the other girl.

"I'm really hungry," was the whispered answer Weiss received. She sat back a little to look Ruby in the eyes, the younger girl smiling as she looked at Weiss. "So what's there to—ow!" Ruby exclaimed as Weiss flicked her forehead as hard as she could. "What was that for?" she asked as she rubbed the red mark on her head with her good arm.

"That's for making me worry, you dunce!" Weiss cried as tears of worry, relief, and most importantly joy ran down her face. "This nightmare is finally coming to an end" she thought with relief as she threw her arms around Ruby again and just hugged the other girl while she cried into her shoulder.

"Hey, leave some Ruby for the rest of us," Yang said as she rushed over to hug her sister as well, deciding she has let the two lovers have enough time together for now. "Ruby, I can't believe you're awake," Yang kept talking as tears welled up in her own purple eyes.

"Yang... it's so good to see you," Ruby answered, her silver eyes shimmering with unshed tears. Blake had stood apart from this tearful reunion, letting the others have their time with Ruby. She stood apart until Yang stepped aside just a little and Ruby looked over the Faunus girl, gesturing for her to come over

"Come on, give me a hug. I know you missed me," Ruby said with a laugh, sounding a lot like Yang. Blake walked over and gave Ruby a hug.

"It's good to have you back Ruby."

"It's great to be back. Now who wants to fill in the details of what happened?" She asked with a chuckle as all the other girls looked at her with varying degrees of discomfort. Blake was the first to speak.

"Well you crashed while skiing, Weiss called 911, and Yang rushed outside to give you first aid while the ambulance was in its way. "

"I rode with you in the ambulance here to the hospital while Blake and princess came later with our stuff," Yang jumped in, "You were a real mess, Ruby. Broken arm and leg, collapsed lung, three broken ribs and cuts all over your face and hands," she listed off Ruby's injuries, the injured girl whistled as she heard the state she was in.

"I got it good," was her comment. Weiss remained silent throughout this and Blake and Yang could sense that she wanted to talk in private with Ruby.

"Ruby, we're going to go inform the doctor that you are awake," Blake said as she grabbed Yang's arm and pulled her out of the room with her.

"And don't get any funny ideas!" Yang called out behind her, determined to make a joke.

Ruby and Weiss both shook their heads, not surprised by Yang's comment at all.

"Ruby, I'm sorry," Weiss said after a moment breaking the silence that the two had fallen into, causing Ruby to look at her with confusion.

"Sorry? For what?"

"I'm sorry you got hurt and I'm sorry, but when you first got to the hospital I didn't come at all. I blamed myself for you getting hurt and I thought you would blame me as well and I thought you would hate me," Weiss confessed as she felt terrible with herself again. She couldn't make eye contact with her girlfriend, instead staring at her balled fists which rested in her lap. It was at this moment she heard Ruby clear her throat to get her attention.

"I would do something charming right now, but I can't get up so I'm going to need you to move closer," Ruby said completely serious, making Weiss smile and sit closer to Ruby. The younger reached out with her good arm and started rubbing Weiss' shoulder.

"I don't blame you for anything that happened. I never could even if I tried and as for hating you," Ruby stopped talking, moving her hand underneath Weiss' chin and turning the other girl's head to face her. "Weiss Schnee I want you to read my lips carefully. I. Love. You." Ruby enunciated the last three words extremely clear, never breaking eye contact with the older girl even when she leaned forward enough to kiss Weiss.

Weiss instantly melted into the kiss, her mind focused on one thought, "I missed this. I missed her." They didn't pull away from the kiss until both of them were out of were both breathing a little harder, and it made Weiss smirk as she saw Ruby's face flush.

"Just as good as I remember," Ruby said when she had her breathing under control.

"I was thinking the same thing. I love you, Ruby." Weiss said softly as she laid her head on Ruby's good shoulder gently.

"I love you, Weiss, and you don't have to be so careful, I'm not going to break." Ruby told her as she wrapped her arm around the white haired girl's shoulder in a sideways hug.

The two girls sat in a happy silence, both of them just enjoying being with each other after this ordeal. After a large amount of time they started to wonder where the others were, as if sensing their thoughts Yang peeked her head in the door at that exact moment.

"Are you two decent?" she asked.

Weiss groaned, and Ruby threw a pillow at her sister, scoring a direct hit on Yangs face.

"I'll take that as a yes," she said to herself as she walked in followed shortly by Blake and a doctor.

"When can I go home?" Ruby asked as soon as the door was closed. The middle aged woman looked Ruby up and down

"Well, we are going to run a few tests and keep you for a little longer to keep you under observation, but I would guess within three days," she answered with a smile. This answer made the four other girls in the room grin as well, with the two biggest smiles belonging to Ruby and Weiss.

"So Weiss..." Ruby started saying before she paused

"What is it Ruby?"

"...when can we go skiing again?" She asked with a sheepish smile. Weiss stared at her with an incredulous look in her face that Blake and Yang also shared.

"Never."

"Bu—"

"Never again...We can go to the beach instead," Weiss answered after a bit of thought. Her reply was well received by the other girls.

"I'm still hungry. Do you have any chocolate chip cookies?"

"We can get you some. Until then you can have the rest of my egg drop soup," Weiss answered as she smiled affectionately at Ruby. "Things are better now," she thought happily.

"Okay!" Ruby chirped happily before looking at both of her arms. "I'm going to need a little help" she said while looking to Weiss with her best puppy dog look on her face.

"Alright" Weiss answered with a smile as she picked up the cup of soup in one hand and her spoon in the other. "Open wide" she said as she put the spoon in Ruby's awaiting mouth.

"That's what she said" Yang said with an evil grin, making everyone else in the room shake their heads as Weiss put down the soup and threw a pillow at the blonde, also scoring a direct hit on her head. "alright i'll be quiet…for now" she responded making everyone laugh. "Things can finally go back to normal" Yang and Blake both thought as they looked at the sight of Weiss feeding Ruby, both girls happy as could be.
