Hey guys sorry for taking so long with the chapter I have been hella busy I am also working on getting back to Tears of the Valkrie soon as well with a new chapter. I will try to expand the story more now that I have more experience and I thank everyone for their patience also since I received a new laptop so I had to export my stuff across. Well I wont keep rambling here is Chapter 11
Ruby POV
As I walk back to Beacon with Weiss I can still feel tension between us. I know it is because of how I acted and for not listening to her about keeping a cool head. I look over at her and stare at her icy blue eyes the ones that envelope me in wonder and happiness whenever I see them. This time is different all I feel from looking at them is regret and disappointment. I sigh to myself knowing what was to come when we arrived back at the dorm room. I slowly start trailing behind her looking at her back...her long hair...her swaying hips. I snap back to reality at the thought of what I just said to myself. I look away from Weiss and stare at the scenery around us. The lush forrest around us was beautiful. Walking slowly I didn't notice that Weiss had stopped in front of me.
"Oof!" I grunt while stumbling backwards before falling down.
"Hey watch out where you're going Ruby." Weiss said sternly turning around.
"Im sorry" I said looking away from her sharp gaze. I look up slightly and catch a glance of her icy blue eyes that seem to shimmer in the sunlight that fell through the trees. I silently stared at her before she brought me back to reality again.
"Hey dolt what in dust are you staring at?" She asked coldly squinting her eyes. I could tell she was still mad but trying not to be to hard on me .
"I uh was looking at.." I trailed off trying to think of something I could say that would make since. Telling her that I was staring at her because I thought she looked pretty would be way to awkward of a conversation.
"Well?" She asked her patience running thin. "And don't you lie to me either."
"I was...looking at you" I said without a second thought. Shit why did I say that I told myself that I wouldn't and yet I did. She is going to be mad...or confused..or jeez Ruby you out did yourself this time. I look at her again and see a giant blush creeping across her soft pale skin.
"Y-you were looking at me" She asked trying to maintain her composure.
"Yeah.." I tell her with a nervous tone in my voice. Im already this deep so there was no turning back anyway.
"W-why?" Weiss asked still struggling to keep a stern voice.
"Well...when we were walking back to the dorm I started to drop back cause I thought you were mad at me and when I did the sunlight from the setting sun shone on you and the forrest made everything look so pretty especially you." I rambled off quickly laughing nervously through out.
Weiss stood there and looked at me not saying a word. I could tell that I had just made things more awkward between us. Weiss turned around and began walking towards the school again. I quickly got up to follow but hesitated for a moment. I wasn't sure if I should keep following her after everything I have done to her.
"Come on dolt I want to get back before dark." Weiss yelled back to me while still walking.
Blake POV
I walk back to the school next to Yang I can still feel the heat radiating from her anger. I slowly slip my hand next to hers and lock our fingers together. She lets out a sigh and squeezes my hand in appreciation. She has been silent for most of the walk and it bothers me. Since Raven showed up in the forest she has been in a frenzy of emotions. Yang leans over and places her head on my shoulder as we walk. I put my head on hers and sigh trying to come up with something that could cheer her up.
"Blake?" came Yang's voice quietly
"Hmm" I whisper to her while maintaining my train of thought.
"Thanks for being here for me." she said before returning to silence.
I think to myself that there has to be some way to make her smile. Dammit this is unlike her and me to be so lost and confused. As we walk a small breeze sends shivers down our spines. I feel Yang get closer possibly to try and keep me warm with her semblance. I kiss her head in thanks when the idea came to me. I stop walking and Yang looks at me confused.
"Whats wrong Blake?" She asks raising her eye brow a bit.
"Nothings wrong...with me Yang." I tell her gripping her hands "but there is something bothering you."
"If you are referring to Raven Im fine." Yang says sharply turning her head.
"I wasn't making any assumptions Yang" I say to her putting my hand on her cheek turning her to face me again. "I just want you to know that I am here for you."
"Thank you...again" She says giving me a weak forced smile. I sigh knowing she hadn't caught on to what I am trying to do.
"Yang" I say to her lovingly before using my hand to bring our lips together. Yang was a bit shocked at my sudden public display but soon found herself enjoying it herself. After a bit it started to become hard to breath as we parted and we started gasping in air Yang boasted a great smile on her face. I smile back happy to see her back to her normal self for the time being.
"We should probably get going it is almost dark" She says to me before continuing to walk. I look at her in the evening light and all I can think of is how much I love her.
Weiss POV
I try to keep myself from smiling and my face from blushing. Ruby did not notice it but when she was sitting down and the light was around her she never looked cuter. I stop and think about what I just said to myself. I just called my team leader cute. I mean it isn't like I think of her in a romantic way she can be cute and only be a friend. I sigh to myself just wanting to get back to the dorm and go to sleep.
"Weiss?" I hear Ruby say behind me nervously.
"What is it now Ruby?" I ask not turning to face her.
"Thanks" She says before going back to silence
"Thanks for what?" I ask hesitantly
"You know for...caring" She shyly says with a blush I feel is forming on her face because it was coming back on mine.
"Its nothing we are teammates after all" I say blowing off the apparent affection she was possibly trying to get across.
Once I see the spires that dot the school grounds come into view I speed up my pace wanting to get back as fast as possible. I hear Ruby running to keep up behind me at this point I don't care that I am running. I need to have a moment to my self to process all that has happened today. I get to our dorm building and I start to rush to the room when I suddenly feel myself lifted off the ground and flying through the air. I close my eyes and scream as I have no idea whats going on. I open my eyes and see that I am outside our room door and Ruby was standing next to me. I look around and notice a bunch of rose petals scattered on the floor. I look to Ruby who was sporting a giant smile.
"Ruby what did I tell you about using your semblance on me without speaking up first." I scolded her
Ruby immediately lost her smile and hung her head "Sorry Weiss I just thought you might be tired after walking all day." She said quietly.
I felt a rush of guilt overcome me as I looked at her. I sighed in defeat and opened the door. Once inside I went straight to my bed and flopped down it felt like heaven after today. I feel the presence of Ruby standing next to me so I turn and look at her. She was next to my bed changing clothes possibly thinking I was asleep as soon as I hit the bed. She pulled off her shirt and that was the moment I saw how bad her injury was. The bandage wrapped around her entire abdomen and her right side was a scarlet color possibly due to over stressing the wound today. Her aura could only heal so much she should have said something the dolt. She turned and started to try and climb into her bed when I heard her wince in pain. I guess it cant be helped but only until she is healed.
"Ruby?" I say to her getting her attention.
"W-Weiss you awake still sorry I will be going to bed soon also." She said shocked
"Hey dolt let me at least change your bandage first." I say to her.
"Oh...ok" She says taking a seat in the desk chair.
I slowly unwrap the bandage and I get a clear look at the wound. Her skin was ripped open from the front all the way around her side to her back it was wide and I could tell that when it was fresh it was a deep cut as well. I got a pained look on my face and I lost color to the point that I was paler than normal. I look at the wound and realized that could have been it she could have died out there.
"Hey Weiss I am getting kind of cold so umm could you please hurry." Ruby said to me blushing as she sat shirtless in the middle of the room.
"Oh..yeah" I say quietly. I finish wrapping the new bandage on her and allowed her to get dressed for bed. I watch her as she once again attempts to get into her bed but backs down out of pain. I feel guilty knowing that earlier I probably contributed to her wound opening while running.
"Ruby?" I say to her softly. "If it's too hard to get into your bed I guess we could...share...mine" I trail off the end of the sentence as I realized what I just said.
"I-I-I...if it's ok with you" Ruby says blushing like crazy.
I nod to her as I walk to the restroom to change. When I come out Ruby is in bed covered up and already asleep. She really must have been tired. I slide into the bed next to her and lay my head on the pillow. I feel her breathing next to me and it for some reason calms my thoughts down. I start to feel sleep take over me when I feel an arm wrap around me. I turn and look at Ruby who had turned over. She looked so peaceful sleeping I soon found myself snuggled up against her drifting off to sleep. I will not let anything else happen to her as long as I am there to stop it.
Yang POV
Blake and me enter the dorm room and see that the lights are already off. I look for Ruby on her bed but don't see her. Blake taps my shoulder and points to Weiss's bed where the two were cuddled together asleep. I am too tired at the moment to care I will talk with Weiss in the morning but for right now I need sleep. I look to Blake who had gone to the washroom to change. I decided to change right next to the bed. As I finished changing Blake walked out. She looked at me with her amber eyes which shone brighter in the dark. The moon light illuminated her skin in a soft pale light and her kimono glistened. I was awe struck at how beautiful she looked. I walked over to her and kissed her softly on the lips. She smiled at me before walking to her bed.
"Good night kitty" I say to her winking
"Good night my love" she replied soliciting a blush from me as I climbed into my own bed.
I lay there awake thinking how lucky I am. Today I found my sister who I possibly could have lost forever and I bonded with the woman that has my heart. For the first time in a long time I fell asleep with a smile on my face surrounded by those I love and who love me.
