"Are you ready yet, Yang? I swear you take longer than me!"
Weiss stood in the doorway of her condo with Snowflake at her heels; waiting. It was finally Halloween and Snowflake made sure to remind her and Yang that they had to go out trick or treating. Weiss of course had more work to finish, but after the business trip to Atlas last weekend, she wanted to spend more time as a family, even with…
"Yang! I swear if you're not out here in five seconds I'll-"
Weiss caught sight of the blonde buffoon as she finally exited their shared bedroom. She cocked her head in confusion as to what Yang was currently wearing. She had on a somewhat normal attire of black shorts, and a yellow tee shirt with brown boots on; but that wasn't the confusing part.
It was the giant yellow star necklace she wore around her neck that seemed to be made out of styrofoam and was about eleven inches wide; and with the giant rock she held in her left hand, holding it up for her to see.
Yang walked towards her with a giant smile on her face. "You guys ready?"
Weiss stood motionless in the doorway still holding Snowflake's hand before she finally was able to form words in her mind and say something. And the first thing that came out of her mouth was;
"What the heck are you supposed to be?!"
Yang's smile grew even wider as she held the rock even higher in her left hand and pointed towards the star with her other hand.
Weiss just continued staring at her idiot of a wife, and started to even question how she fell in love with the oaf. She stared at Yang as the girl continued pointing at the star and hoisting the rock up as if it was some kind of clue.
"She's a rock-star mommy!" Snowflake cheered out finally.
"Yes! That's my girl! She's as witty as her mama!" Yang stated.
Weiss just stared at the two. And now it hit her. The giant star on the necklace… and a rock.
"Really, Yang? That's what took you so long?! That's not even a real costume! No one would ever figure that out!" Weiss sputtered as she prepared to slam the door on her blonde soul mate.
Yang however squeezed right through the crack of the door and grabbed Snowflake's other hand and together the three headed down the elevator and outside into the cool evening air.
"Well, Snowflake figured it out in about a minute!" Yang stated casually.
Weiss looked over just in time to see Snowflake nod her head towards her mama, agreeing with her.
Weiss just sighed dejectedly. She didn't want to get worked up over something as little as this but she wasn't going to go down without the last word.
"I bet you no one else will know what you're supposed to be!" Weiss announced matter-of-factly, as she huffed and looked away from the blonde.
"Other than yours." Yang countered.
Weiss blushed at the small flirt but fought against the urge to look at the other woman and continued to walk down the street in silence.
"Mama do you like my costume?!" Snowflake asked suddenly.
Weiss took this time to look down at her daughter's outfit. She was dressed in white tights and a white sweater with a giant cut out suit of a light blue and silver snowflake. The curves and edges designed by Weiss herself, she made it look exactly like the Schnee logo's Snowflake. A fitting costume for her own daughter as the girl looked beautiful and precious; just like a snowflake.
"Mhm! You look awesome Snowy! Mama made it for ya, right?" Yang asked the small girl.
"Yup! She said she was good at making costumes so she made this one, and she let me help her too! See I made this part!" Snow explained as she showed off a piece of the uniform to Yang.
"Yeah, I bet she's good at making costumes now, after all she poses in a few of them at night for me." Yang mused out loud.
Needless to say it was a fun night out trick or treating…
"Candies candies!" Snowflake cheered out as she ran inside her home with two bags full of treats.
Behind her was a beaming Yang and annoyed Weiss. As soon as Weiss shut the door to their home, Yang began her gloating.
"Ren, Nora, and their twins both knew what I was! Not to mention the police officer who came up to us!" Yang affirmed kicking her boots off.
Weiss scowled at the woman. "That cop only came up to us because you kept shoving your rock into people's faces demanding them to figure out what you were. You looked like some kind of crazy person!"
Yang waved off Weiss' complaints before grabbing the pumpkin on the counter and examining it.
"Weren't we supposed to carve a pumpkin before Halloween?"
Weiss shrugged her shoulders before walking over to the counter but before she could answer, a little bundle of white hair bounded into view with chocolate already smeared over her mouth.
"Pumpkin!"
"Chocolate covered monkey!"
"Yang what did I say about calling our daughter a monkey?"
Before Yang could answer Weiss though, the pumpkin that was sitting on the counter top was being hauled away by a pair of small chocolate covered hands.
"Snowflake!" Weiss shouted, but already the small girl was running back to her room with the pumpkin held over her head and giggling uncontrollably.
Yang grabbed Weiss by the shoulder and chuckled. "Just let her go crazy. It is Halloween after all."
Weiss was baffled at the sheer amount of recklessness!
"So let me get this straight; you want us to leave our five year old daughter in her room, with two bags of chocolate, and a giant pumpkin, alone?!" Weiss asked incredulously.
She stared into Yang's lilac colored eyes as the woman nodded her head up and down with a wide grin on her face.
"Okay, while you act like the irresponsible child, I'll go do the right thing and actually be a parent!" Weiss hissed, before attempting to stomp off in search of her daughter.
But without warning her arm was jerked back towards where Yang was sitting on the stool at the counter.
"Yang let me-"
Weiss froze at the sight of Yang's usually cheerful demeanor gone and replaced with an uncertain and distant look in her eyes.
"I- I'm sorry Weiss, it's just… You know how I told you about how my mom wasn't around? I- I just want Snowflake to have fun ya know?" Yang muttered as she cast her gaze downwards as if deep in thought about her painful past.
Weiss sat down next to the girl and held onto her hand softly. She had heard the story a while back from Ruby, but never from Yang herself. She knew it pained the usually cheery girl, and Weiss noticed that every time Snowflake and Yang were together, the blonde would be at her happiest; which Weiss figured was cause of her past. She truly loved Snowflake and wanted nothing but happy memories for the young girl.
"I- sometimes just… I just wonder if I'll end up like my mom, like I- I'll just leave one day and not come back. And it scares me, I- I- I"
Yang began to sniffle and that was enough for Weiss. She instantly jumped to her feet and wrapped the taller girl into a loving embrace. One thing Weiss could not tolerate seeing, was Yang upset to the point of tears. It wounded Weiss to the point of her too succumbing to tears.
She felt the blonde sob into her shoulder, but Weiss only tightened her hug around her, as she fought the urge to cry as well.
"Y- You and I both know you would never do that Yang. I see the way you are with Snowflake! You love her way too much to ever want to hurt her. Just right now, you stopped me from taking her chocolate and pumpkin away! As irresponsible as that is, you only look out for her happiness." Weiss reassured her wife, as she embraced her.
She could feel Yang's sobs dying down as the girl seemed to calm herself slightly.
"Sometimes I wonder if you love her more than yours truly." Weiss chided softly in a playful tone.
This caused Yang to tense up slightly and pull out of the embrace. Weiss looked into her reddened eyes and felt her heart melt at the sight. Witnessing a sad Yang was like looking at an injured puppy.
Weiss leaned forward and brushed her lips against her wife's own. It had been too long since she tasted the sweet flavor of Yang's strawberry flavored gloss. Weiss pressed harder into the kiss; tasting all of Yang's emotions. The sadness she feared, the happiness of being loved and needed, and the uncertainty of what the future held.
Weiss pushed her true feelings into the passionate lock of lips, pressing her own emotions into Yang; hoping the girl knew what she was really feeling. How Weiss would never give up on Yang, she knew the blonde oaf wanted nothing but happiness for their small family and how Weiss would always be behind her supporting any and all decisions she made.
But Weiss suddenly felt a pair of small hands around her waist.
Yang really does like to move fast.
"Mama would never leave me! She loves me way too much! Right mommy?"
Weiss pulled away from the kiss and glanced down at her side spotting Snowflake still covered in chocolate. The girl was hugging both her and Yang with the same goofy smile she had no doubt adopted from the blonde.
The image was enough to bring tears to Weiss' eyes finally.
"You're right, Snowflake! Mama would never leave us." Weiss agreed as she stared into Yang's eyes as she let a tear roll down her cheek.
Weiss lifted her daughter onto her lap and embraced both of her girls.
There was nothing that could pull this family apart. Any problems that they would ever encounter, they would be able to get through together. Yang was a great mother and although sometimes she was just as irresponsible as Ruby; she knew that the woman wanted nothing but the best for them.
And Weiss along with Snowflake loved her more than anything for that very reason.
