Author note: Hey guys I've been out for 2? 3? weeks. I apologize I've been sick and you know school. BUT! I will be uploading the next chapter sooner with a new short series I started, so look out for that. Anyway leave comments and enjoy :)
"Come on Ruby...the dance is tomorrow and you still don't have a dress. We gotta leave now or al the shops will close." Yang stated while trying to drag her sister out the house.
"I said I don't wanna go anymore..." Ruby groaned looking down at her feet, "I ruined everything."
Yang stopped dragging her and turned the younger girl around. She looked at her straight in the eyes but Ruby refused to make eye contact. She let out a long exaggerated sigh and motioned for the girl to sit next to her.
"Okay its sister time. What's wrong?" Yang demanded.
" I don't wanna talk about it."
"Ruby...we are NOT doing this today. Just please tell me...I'm worried." The younger girl sat in silence gathering her thoughts. Her older sister's face showed nothing but concern. She eventually caved in, not wanting Yang to fell anymore guilty than she had to be.
"It was Weiss. She was the one I turned down! And now I messed things up! cuz I think I like her but she probably doesn't like me now a-and some stupid boy came and-" Ruby ranted unable to form complete sentences.
"Whoa whoa calm down little sister." Yang put her hands on Ruby shoulders, she told her to take deep breathes.
"Now let's try that again but a little slower."
The young girl closed her eyes, fillings her lungs with new air. She gathered her words and tried to explain one more time.
"Okay, I'm good." She smiled at the older girl. "Okay first, Weiss was the one that asked me to the dance."
Really Weiss?! That's unexpected…Yang thought to herself. The young heiress gave off this bitchy vibe that Yang wasn't sure if she really liked the girl or not.
"I said no to her because...you know. But anyway I figured out that I actually might like her so I went to tell her, but it was too late."
"What do you mean too late?"
" I heard her and that blue haired boy talking about the dance."
"Oh..." The older sister tried to think of something to encourage the girl. She felt useless. This was her sister's first crush and it ended as soon as it begun.
"You know, Rubes that could just be a coincidence..." Yang explained hoping that her optimism will spread to her sister.
"Well maybe...I did run off instead of asking her."
"See! That's my little sister. Now let's find a dress that knock Weiss icy boots off!"
The sisters set off to the mall. Ruby was feeling a little more confident than she did before hoping she would be able to catch the President's eyes.
Hours went by, countless dress were worn but none stuck out to the younger sister.
"I didn't know you were so picky Ruby." Yang commented.
"I'm not I just want find something comfy but cute. All the dresses you picked out were tight and showed too much skin anyway."
"That's the point! Why wear a dress if you can't show off your curves." Yang pointed at her breast and Ruby just rolled her eyes.
"Come on, this is the last store. If I can't find anything I give up." Ruby huffed.
When the girls entered the shop they went straight to the dress section. Yang grabbed three red dress for Ruby, but the younger girl could already tell she didn't like them. The older sister gave up picking out anymore dresses and let her sister decided what she wanted.
Ruby was grateful she brought her here but their taste were completely different. Yang liked small tight dress or anything that could show off her body. Ruby likes frills, something with a "poof" as she calls it.
After ten minutes of nothing Ruby was ready to go. She walked around one more time and she found it. It was at end of the shop, everything about the dress was perfect.
"Yang! Yang! I found it!" She yelled.
Her sister came running to her side. A big smile crept onto her face when she saw the dress in front of her. It was perfect, so Ruby.
"Come on, get it so we can finally leave."
The younger girl nodded her head, grabbed the dress, and proceeded to check out. On the ride home the girl was nothing but smiles, I can't wait until Weiss sees me!
"You're an idiot." Blake deadpanned.
"Shut up!" Weiss refuted.
Blake started to number off, "First, you decide to go to the dance with some boy YOU don't like. Second, that boy happens to actually LIKE you. And third, THAT boy somehow made the girl YOU like cry and you didn't go after her."
With each blow Weiss sunk a little. Her head hung low, lips formed a pout, and she took a deep breath after hearing her actions out loud, it made her immediately regret her decisions for past week.
Blake put a hand on her shoulder feeling a little bad about being so harsh towards her friend.
"You know, you can fix it." Blake reassured.
"How..?"
"Simple, you ditch Neptune and go alone like the rest of us." A small grin was on the faunus face.
"That seems a bit rude. Especially towards Neptune. I may not like him, but he is still a friend."
"A friend that hurt your girl."
Weiss turned red at the thought of Ruby being hers. She stuttered, "W-we aren't sure he's the one that did it..."
"You're just making excuses now. Just tell him you would rather go alone. Then meet up with Ruby later that night and confess. Easy!"
"Yeah, easy. How about impossible! I'm not even sure she likes me!" Weiss huffed turning herself away from Blake.
"That's what I thought too, with Yang. But you never know until you try. You might get surprised."
Weiss stared at her friend not sure if she was being serious or just getting messed with. She sighed and decided to let it go.
"You're gonna stop until I cancel this date huh."
The faunus smiled, "Nope!"
"Fine hand me my phone. I'll ask Neptune to meet me here, a text would be rude coming from me."
"Sure." She gave Weiss her phone, "You want me to stay or go?"
"Stay please. Neptune can get a little...upset? With rejection."
"Got it. I'll head downstairs and wait for him. I'll shake him up before he sees you!" She pretends there is a knife in her hand, "I'll put a knife to his throat and say don't put your nasty hands on my bestie or we're going to have problems!" She makes a slashing noise while pretending vut his throat.
Weiss does nothing but roll her eyes and laugh a little at her friends antics.
"Don't scare him too much. He might not ever come in."
Blake nodded her head and walked downstairs to wait for the boy.
Weiss sent a text,
Hey can you come over? We need to talk
Sure. I'll be there in 10
Weiss let out a sigh, this had to the millionth times she's had to turn down Neptune and part of her feels bad.
The young boy was attractive and plenty of nice to her, but something about them didn't click the way he though they did. Mostly because of the heiress hidden sexuality, I guess now is a good enough time to tell him.
15 minutes pass and there is a knock on the door. The young man was escorted into the living until Weiss would come down to get him.
He took a seat on the nearby love seat, not noticing he wasn't alone. A shadow crept behind him and grabbed his shoulders. A shriek that could put any girl to shame came from the boy. He turned around ready to attack the assaulter but quickly calmed down when he saw the smiling girl in front of him.
He took a couple of deep breathes and greeted the girl, "Jeez Blake! You almost gave me a heart attack!"
"That was the point." She smirked.
"Still don't like me huh? Well too bad! I'm here to stay." He crosses his arms over chest, "Weiss finally said yes. She probably wants to discuss our outfit colors are something."
Blake just started at the poor boy. He had no idea he is about to get rejected, again. A brief moment of sadness came over Blake, but it passed. Blake never really liked Neptune, he never got a hint and she just found that a little annoying.
"Sure. Whatever you say Neptune. Just don't touch her, got it!" Her eyes went into a stern glare while she waited for the boys reply.
"Yeah yeah. I would never do that okay!"
Weiss entered the living room and motioned for the boy to come near.
"Now Neptune I want to make this quick so I'll just talk to you here." Weiss glanced at Blake silently informing her to leave them alone.
Blake hesitated for a moment but realized she will just be one room away if her friend needed help.
Weiss waited until she couldn't see her friend to begin talking, she took a deep breath and stared at the boy, "I'm sorry Neptune."
The boy's earlier behavior completely vanished. That cockiness he was once had was filled with sadness and a bit of anger.
"Am I not good enough?" He asked.
"NO! It's not that...I-I already like someone..." She avoided making eye contact with the boy.
"Who? Who is he!" Neptune yelled. He was infuriated, he thought he was the only boy good enough to take Weiss heart.
"It's not a guy..." She admitted.
His mouth hung open, his chest was tight, and no words came out his mouth. He sat down on the couch trying to comprehend what Weiss just told him. For a moment he thought to his self, I lost…to a girl?
His throat was still dry. His eyes slowly turned red but refused to let tears fall.
"S-so you're gay?" He finally asked.
"Yes."
"Why didn't you tell? I must have looked like a jerk trying to go after you!"
"I hadn't really accepted it myself."
Silence filled the room. Neptune knew Weiss always seemed awkward around him but he simply thought it was because how she was raised. He never would have guess she was hiding her sexuality. Guilt overcame him, as a friend he should have noticed her attitude but he ignored it for his on purpose. And when Weiss was finally able to open up to him, he felt jealous for some girl he didn't even know yet. He decided to swallow his pride and be the proper friend she needed.
"Well thank you for telling me. I'll back off now." Neptune said.
Weiss walked up to the boy and gave him a hug, "Thank you, you don't understand how much that means to me."
He wrapped his arms around the girl and smiled. "So, who is this girl you like?"
The girl stepped back and stared at the floor.
"It's Ruby. You know the new girl."
"Oh! The one that came crying to the office right?"
Hearing someone else remind her of Ruby crying out brought back that tightness in her chest.
"Yeah, that's her."
"Well! Good luck, I'm sure she'll love to be with you." Neptune gave Weiss one last hug and left.
Blake entered the room when she heard the front door close. "So, how did it go?"
"Better than I thought it would." Weiss admitted.
"Great! Now let's pick out a dress that Ruby will love."
"What's wrong with the one I have?"
"Not enough skin." Blake winked at the girl, and dragged her to the closet to find a new dress that will turn heads.
