"Your sister? And sister-in-law? How did they even get in at this hour?" Ruby nervously chuckled.
"Probably best to not ask, but refer to the blonde one as Yang Xiao Long my sister, her wife Blake is a cat Faunus named Blake Xiao Long, my sister in law. Ok?" Weiss nodded, she got off the bed and grabbed one of her Robes.
"Well, let's go see them." Weiss replied as she exited the Room, followed by Ruby as Yang could be heard growling loudly as soon as she saw Ruby exit the bedroom. "Ah.. Klein, would you mind making us some tea?"
"Of course snowflake! Anything, I'll meet you in the kitchen." Klein bowed and headed off, Weiss then walked up to Blake and Yang.
"Hello, I'm Weiss Schnee, you can call me Weiss. Welcome to my home." Blake smiled.
"Oh, yes hello, I'm Blake Xiao Long, and my wife Yang." As she motions to Yang, who wasn't much in a talking mood.
"Shall we head to the living room?" Weiss asking, as Blake nodded. Ruby and Yang though, kept giving each other death glares.
"Um, actually I'd rather just get a cup of tea. I think these two need to talk." Blake whispered into Weiss' ear, as she nodded in acknowledgement.
Weiss and Blake each grabbed their angry mates and pulling them into the living room as Blake makes Yang sit, Weiss does the same, as she makes Ruby sit and they head off to the kitchen.
Ruby growls from the couch she's sitting on, across from Yang. Yang's eyes were still as red as before, they just kept staring at one another. Blake and Weiss meanwhile were seated and having tea in the next room.
"I am sorry we arrived so late, we didn't have an exact address." Blake now nervously said to Weiss as Weiss shrugged.
"It's ok, I got enough Beauty sleep." Her remark carrying a hint of annoyance in the tone, but nevertheless the less she took a sip of her tea. "Is this to your liking Mrs. Xiao Long? I can have Klein make something else?"
"No, no it's fine." Blake politely declined, she looks into the other room at Yang and Ruby. "I really do wanna apologize for the rude wake up call, my Wife was just pretty adamant we came now regardless, I tried to make her wait till morning."
Weiss looked over through the door to Ruby and Yang. "It's ok, really. Just.. do we do anything? Or?"
"Just… let them simmer. Just to make sure, you do happen to have insurance by chance right?" Weiss looked at Blake with her eyebrow raised.
"Yes…? Why?" Blake casually sipped her tea.
"No reason…" Blake replied as she took another sip.
Yang started bouncing her knee, her arms were crossed tightly under her chest, she started to growl. "Ok Ruby, enough messing around. It's time to go.."
"I'm not going. I'm not a little kid, I'm an adult doing my job Yang.."
"Yeah, well not this one. You are Coming home NOW!" Yang screamed,
"Like hell I am! I'm staying!" Ruby fired back.
"Do you wanna be fired!? I'll fire you if you don't come home this instant!" Yang jumped up.
"Fine! Fire me! I'm not leaving Weiss!" Ruby clenched her fist.
Yang tensed up. "Why not! She's rich! Pay someone else! That's all people like her do! Buy and sell people!!"
"Don't you dare talk about her like that!" Ruby was turning red from pure anger.
"YOU ARE LEAVING WITH US NOW! GET YOUR BAG PACKED! NOW!" Yang started to grit her teeth. You could swear it looked like her hair was on fire,
"I WILL NOT LEAVE HER!" Ruby screamed.
"YES YOU WILL!" Yang screamed back.
Ruby bites her lip, she jumps up and gets into Yang's face before saying the one thing Yang wouldn't have expected from her. "I'M IN LOVE WITH HER!!" The explosion from Ruby felt like an actual gut punch to Yang.
"W-WHAT HELL!? RUBY! IT'S ONLY BEEN LKE THREE DAMN DAYS!? THIS ISN'T SOME GODDAMN FAIRYTALE MOM WOULD READ TO US!" Yang screamed, as she started panting from anger.
"WELL I AM IN LOVE WITH HER! SHE LOVES ME!" Ruby had a devious grin cross her face, as Blake saw her face, she knew what was coming next was the finisher. "AND WE SLEPT TOGETHER! AND IT WAS GOOOOOD!" Ruby screamed as she put emphasis on the end of good, Weiss could be heard doing a spit take, as well as Blake gasping, and as Ruby dragged the end of it out, they watched Yang twitch, gripped her heart and then she just fell to the ground.
"Ruby! You didn't!" Blake yelled, then she looked over to Weiss, who now was trying to hide a blush and sipping her tea, trying to act casual, not sure what the hell she got herself into. Blake started laughing now "Oh damn, you are definitely Yang's sister."
Weiss was blushing, she got up and walked over to Ruby, as Blake followed and began checking on Yang. "Ruby… why did you need to say that…?" Weiss questioned, as she wasn't exactly thrilled to tell anyone about her and Ruby sleeping together, but Ruby puffed her chest out, wrapping an arm around Weiss and holding her.
"I did it, because I got myself a hell of a girlfriend!" Weiss blushes bright red upon hearing Ruby use the word girlfriend, Blake was lightly tapping on Yang's face.
"You definitely do Ruby, I've never seen you like this. I'm very happy for you." Blake happily replied, giving the couple a happy smile, as Yang sat up,
"I will not stand for this Ruby! Do you hear me!"
"Yang… your on the floor, you're not standing anyways.." was Ruby's reply. Yang growled as Blake helped her up.
"You are coming home…" Yang pulls her right sleeve down to expose her prosthetic arm, as Weiss gasps. "You asked me about Adam? Well Adam is the reason why I have this.. he's dangerous.." Blake hugs Yang from behind, putting her head onto her shoulder. As Ruby just holds onto Weiss tighter.
"That maybe.. but Yang.. I'm not leaving Weiss' side." Yang growls but gives up, looking away and sighing.
"Fine… then Blake and I will stay here."
"Y-you're gonna stay here?" Ruby questioned.
"Yeah, if your little innocence stealing harlot don't care.." Weiss leaned into Ruby more, feeling ashamed. Blake's ears went back as Ruby clenched her fist.
"Yang! Stop that! Also, I'm twenty three! What innocence!?" Yang just huffed.
"Come on Blake!" Yang pulls away from Blake, grabbing their bags and heads off towards the hall they had found Ruby and Weiss before. Blake turns to follow, but turns back to Ruby and Weiss.
"I'll.. talk to her Ruby. Truth is, Adam is a monster. And he scares even us." Ruby signed softly, holding on to Weiss. "I'll see about calming her down, I am very sorry Weiss." Blake felt the shame she wished Yang also would share, since most of what she said was uncalled for, but Weiss flashed a small smile.
"It's ok Mrs. Xiao Long, I hope you two enjoy your sleep. You can make yourself at home. We will see you in the morning." Blake nodded, giving a small smile back before leaving to join Yang.
Once Blake was gone, she pulled Weiss into a full hug. "I'm so sorry."
"Ruby, it's fine.. she's just being a big sister" Weiss hugs her back. "I am mad at you though."
"Huh? Why are you mad at me?" Ruby asked in a panic.
"Well.. you're two years younger, and you're taller.." Weiss replied, making Ruby snort laugh. "Oh hush up!" Weiss said jokingly.
"You got it snowflake, let's hit the hay." They shared another smile before heading off to bed.
Hours later, around six forty five in the morning, Weiss yawns loudly as she stretches during her short walk to the kitchen to find Blake sitting at the table she and Blake sat at hours earlier, drinking coffee. "Oh, good morning Mrs. Xiao long."
"Goodmorning Weiss, do you always get up this early?" Weiss just simply shrugged.
"Not really, Ruby started snoring. So figured it was a good time for breakfast. Do you want anything Mrs.Xiao Long?" Weiss asked as she grabbed a box of breakfast sandwiches from her freezer.
"No thank you, I'm fine for now, I do wanna ask you about Ruby though."
Weiss threw a sandwich in the microwave, turned it on and then threw the rest of the box in the freezer, as she turned to Blake. "Yeah? What do you wanna ask?"
"Are you really in love with her? Or is it just because she's your bodyguard?" Weiss sighed and turned to Blake.
"I kind of had a feeling that's what you wanted to ask me, Mrs. Xiao long."
"Please Weiss, call me Blake. The reason I am asking is because I look at Ruby as a little sister. If you really do love her, then I'm happy." Blake smiled.
Weiss smiled Back "To answer your question Blake, yes I do love her. I can't explain what happened the moment I locked eyes with her, I've never seen eyes so bright and warm. When I was told I was even getting a bodyguard, I figured it was a plot by my father.."
"Plot by your father?" Weiss nodded to Blake.
Weiss sighed. "My father is doing everything in his power to keep control of the company, there's been talks of me fully replacing him. Throwing him out of the company I'VE been trying to rebuild both ethnically and morality. To bring humanity and honor back to the company my grandfather built."
"I don't get how that could be a plot by him, what did you mean?" Blake questioned Weiss.
Weiss shrugged again, as she grabbed a cup of coffee and took a sip. "As I and Ruby talked about before, if I get married, my father could name my spouse head of the company."
"How does that even work? I mean why can't it be just you?" Weiss walks
"Because I don't exactly do as my father asks of me, I want to save our name from the pit he forces it into. My father isn't even a real Schnee, he took the name when he married my mother. So the Schnee name being so dishonored doesn't even phase him, he only cares about power and money." Weiss looked into her coffee, she felt so sick every time she thought about it.
"Weiss, can I ask. Why isn't your mother running the company?" Blake's question seemed to have hit a nerve, as Weiss gripped her cup, she looked up to Blake, her eyes letting a few tears flow down her face.
"It's pretty hard to run a company, when you're in rehab for alcohol abuse…" Blake felt her stomach drop, she covered her mouth, as her ears flattened. "My father drove her to drink, making her lose her control, but hey, it's business.."
"Weiss, I am so sorry! I didn't mean to bring anything up to hurt you.. I just wanted to make sure you honestly loved Ruby." Weiss looked away, bringing her eyes back to Blake.
"I really do love Ruby, the moment we locked eyes.. I felt so warm. So happy to meet her." Weiss had to wipe her eyes free of the tears, "what's funny is, after meeting Ruby I feel safe enough to actually have emotions.." as tears fell into her coffee, Weiss still smiled. "I've never felt this way ever, especially with someone I only met a few days ago, it's something from a fairytale.."
Blake grabbed a hold of Weiss' wrist, "your like me when I met Yang, I was scared of opening up, my.. ah EX.. made it very hard to trust people… Yang changed all that. Truth is, she was my bodyguard too." Blake said with a slight giggle.
"Wait? Your bodyguard?" Weiss questioned Blake out of pure surprise. To which Blake blushed and ears flattened.
"Yeah, well you see my dad is the chieftain of Menagerie, Ghira Belladonna." Weiss' eye about buldged from her head.
"Y-you're the daughter who Ruby's mother saved!?"
Blake was blown away, she too had her eyes bulging out. "H-how did you know that?"
"My sister, she was a private under her in the military." Weiss then had a question pop into her head. She nervously gulped. "So.. I wanna ask, did you meet their mom?" Weiss' saw her question had brought a sad smile to Blake's face.
"I actually did, she was so very sweet, so is yang's dad. Yang I had met then too. I was so smitten when we met, but I was just a kitten.." Blake blushed as she thought back to that day, but it faded soon after. " I became very upset when I found out from my father, Summer had perished in the bombing. I can't remember everything, I do remember the fear… I was so scared. Till summer picked me up and ran me out."
"You said Yang was also your bodyguard?" Blake nodded.
"Yeah, when I started school abroad. I needed protection from an ex.. I asked my father to hire their father. He wasn't available… and well Yang was, and one thing led to another and we ended up in love and married, celebrating three years next month." Weiss watched as Blake looked at the ring on her hand. Weiss could see the love and happiness in Blake's eyes as she stared at the ring. Weiss couldn't help but smile, a small feeling of jealousy as also crossing her mind, as she stated at her own hand,
By this time yang had entered the kitchen, her normal black shirt and orange tank top, she kissed the top of Blake's head and groaned as she groggily opened, and looked in the fridge for food. "Morning babe." Blake said in a tone that make Yang look at her.
"Morning babe, morning Harlot.." Weiss sighed as Blake got upset, she gave Yang the stink.
"Yang! We talked about this!" Yang rolled her eyes. "Apologize!" Yang groaned loudly.
"I'm sorry Miss Schnee…" Weiss sighed again.
"I-it's ok, I'm gonna go check on Ruby." Weiss gets up and leaves the room, as the microwave goes off and Yang pops it open.
"Guess her food is ready." Yang yawns,
"Yang.. you should be nicer!"
"How can I Blake!? She stole my baby sister's innocence!" Blake had to face palm. She took a deep breath and rubbed her eyes.
"Yang.. Ruby is an adult.." Blake said as she stopped rubbing her eyes and turned her attention to Yang. "You need to see that, she was gonna grow up, I know you're worried, I was worried too. Especially with him running around, but can't you see she's actually in love.. doesn't it remind you of something?"
Yang thought for a moment. Then shrugged. "Nothing I can think of." She closed her eyes and shrugged with her arms in the air and a small smirk.
Blake could only stare at Yang in disbelief. "Yang.. you were my bodyguard.."
"Yeah? Your point?" Yang questioned.
"Are you seriously gonna make me spell it out for you?" Blake was getting a tad bit annoyed now, as Yang kept trying to play dumb. "Yang, my father hired you as my bodyguard, we ended up in bed a day later.. you know damn well Ruby isn't a fool. Please try to give her a chance, I know you didn't plan for this, but please give her a chance."
"But Blake! They ain't us! She's a rich heiress, and my baby sister!" Yang said as Blake rolled her eyes.
"Yang, I'm the daughter of a leader of a whole nation.. We are pretty much the princess and the Pauper here, same thing Weiss and Ruby are, and you know it. Now please, give her a chance…"
Yang looked blake in the eyes. She knew Blake well enough that if she was trying this hard, she might as well try. It still didn't keep Yang from groaning though. "Fine… I'll give her a chance.."
Blake smiled. "Thank you sweetie, and I know your still scared, I am too but when or if we have to deal with Adam.. we will handle it. I have faith so long as we stick together." Yang smiled, and nodded. "now help me make breakfast." Blake teased.
Yang gave a soft chuckle. "You got it hon." Yang stretches before she and Blake begin breakfast. Meanwhile, Weiss was just now entering her bedroom, where Ruby was still fast asleep.
Weiss leaned down and kissed Ruby's cheek. "Hey it's time to wake up." Ruby squirmed, she groaned a bit, as she opened her eyes and yawned.
"Goodmorning Weiss, did you sleep well?" Ruby asked with her toothy grin.
Weiss' eye twitched at the question, she grabbed a pillow and started to hit Ruby as Ruby began giggling and hold off her arms up in defense. "Don't ask me that when you snore." Ruby kept giggling.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Just stop hitting me!" Ruby managed to get out between the pillow attacks and giggles. "I promise I'll control my snoring!" Weiss stops her assault, but once Ruby pulls herself up she hits her once more. "Hey! What was that for?"
"That was for saying it was good, you very well damn know it was perfect! You were with me, after all." Weiss said with confidence and teasing Ruby a little bit, making her roll her eyes and pounce her down on the bed.
"Fine, it was perfect. Now, can we stop with the Weiss pillow attack?"
Weiss chuckled. "Yes Ruby." Ruby grinned as she let Weiss sit up, Ruby then stretched as she jumped from the bed.
"I'm hungry, wanna make breakfast?" Ruby asked, as she held her hand out to help pull Weiss from the bed.
"Definitely, I got a few breakfast… oh damn it… I left my sandwich in the microwave.."
"Hey! You made yourself one, without asking me Weiss?"
"You were asleep, you dolt. Now if you want one. Follow me." Weiss grabbed ahold of Ruby's hand and pulled her to the kitchen, by the time they both make it to the kitchen, Klein and Blake were making eggs, bacon and sausage, while Yang and Penny sat at the table and talked, Penny was the first to notice the two and greet them.
"Good morning and salutations Miss Schnee and Ruby!" Yang gives a soft wave as Klein and Blake smile and wave.
"Good morning snowflake! And to you Ruby!"
"Good Morning everyone… Why is everyone up so early?" Ruby questioned but she didn't really receive an answer before Weiss pulled her down into the chair next to her. "H-hey! Easy Weiss!"
"Oh hush, like I hurt you pulling you down into the chair, just relax and enjoy it, ok?" Weiss said with a smile, as Ruby smiled back, Yang watched the two of them. She had a small smile across her face.
"Hey, Rubes?"
"Yeah Yang?"
"I'm sorry about last night.. I shouldn't have said what I did, I'm sorry to you too Weiss. I can tell my sister is really happy with you." Yang extends her hand across the table to Weiss and smiles. "Let bygones be bygones, what do ya say?" Weiss smiled so happily and took Yang's hand and with a Penny level enthusiastic hold shook her hand.
"Gladly Mrs. Xiao Long!" Klein and Blake began setting plates down, as Weiss let go of Yang's hand, she nodded to Klein thank you, and began to eat, everyone else started eating.
"You know Weiss, it's probably better we do get along. After all I'm sure it would make your marriage to my sister weird." Once Yang said marriage, Ruby blushes and Weiss started to choke.
"Weiss!?" Ruby was quick to smack Weiss in the back as she coughs up the food, she was attempting to eat, "you ok?"
"Y-yeah.. ugh, damn," Weiss huffed as she tried to catch her breath, Yang grinned nervously.
"S-sorry.. didn't mean to make you choke sista." Weiss finally caught her breath.
"I-it's ok, just.. you said marriage." Weiss was blushing as she saw Ruby was too.
"Well, don't you plan to marry my sister? Or….?" Ruby and Weiss both continued to blush. Penny and Klein both were smiling ear to ear, watching the duo blush in embarrassment. "Well….?"
"I.. Ah… well…" Weiss was struggling to respond, as she thought of Ruby and Ruby thought the same as Weiss. Blake rolled her eyes, and Flicks Yang in the head. "Ow! Hey, what's the big deal?"
"Nothing Yang, just stop teasing. You wanna tease them? But it took you two years to even ask me to marry you." Blake said as she smirked at Yang.
"Fine… I'll stop." Yang said in embarrassment from being ratted out on by Blake.
Klein smiled, watching all the faces as the table, he remembered his favorite thing he'd do during breakfast with Weiss and her sibling. He pushed his seat out and walked over to the radio. As they all turned him. "Hey Klein what are you doing?" Weiss asked as he winked.
"Oh, just reliving some happy times." As he clicked on the radio the music started to play.
"Keep dreaming 'bout a better world
You keep wishing for some clarity
Always hoping that a lightning bolt
Is gonna save you from this gravity"
"Oh I love this song!" Ruby said, grabing ahold of Weiss and pulling her up and to her feet."
"R-Ruby!? What are you doing!?" Weiss asked in almost a panic.
"Just hush and follow my lead." Ruby winked as Ruby started dancing with Weiss.
"You're holdin' out for some romantic life
Maybe you'll wake up in a world of charm
Oh, but what's here can set you free, you don't have to dream"
Ruby spun and twisted Weiss around as Penny started clapping along to the song, Yang and Blake watched as Ruby and Weiss danced and Weiss couldn't help but laugh.
"Your life's a masterpiece, if you just believe
Then all you see is all you need"
Yang jumped up and held her hand out to Blake. Blake looked confused at first, as her ears twitched. "Are you asking me to Dance?"
"Right now your hopes are shattered (Shattered)
Just pointless ever after
But in time you'll find, through love, your power just shines"
Yang winked with a small crooked grin. "Yeah! Nobody puts baby in the corner." Blake started to laugh at the movie reference, but takes her hand as Yang pulls her up and they do as Ruby and Weiss.
"When you don't know where to turn to
And you're sure all hope is gone
When the day you waited for won't come
And dark won't yield to dawn"
Klein couldn't keep his happiness controled, he had gotten so use to the quiet, and sad look on his snowflake's face, that the smile she had was almost a god sent miracle to him.
"Trust love and open up your eyes
Trust love, the truth is there, but sometimes in disguise The way's uncertain, but we're together, movin' toward the light When we trust in love and open up our eyes If you could only open up the door Spread your wings and fly away from here
Write yourself into a fairytale All your problems would just disappear"
Penny started clapping more, but jumped up and starting doing a few moves herself.
"And still, you're counting on a second sight
To somehow wrest you from the way of harm
When what you need to do is see, all you have to be Is here in reality, leave your fantasy
You'll find the key to victory"
Ruby kept her eyes locked with Weiss' as they didn't even listen to the music from the radio, only thing they were doing, was listening to their hearts.
"I know the dark's returning (Turning)
Fires of hate are burning
But the lies can't hide what's true when love's alive"
Ruby pulled Weiss close, as they moved in complete sync, like they've done it for years. So happy and so close.
"There's not a miracle that's gonna show you how
The secret to your life is here and now
Look inside, end your search and be alive
It's time to rise, to realize, to open up your eyes"
Yang and Blake stopped dancing just to watch Ruby and Weiss, make the large kitchen a ball room almost. "Who taught Ruby how to dance?" Blake asked as Yang shrugged.
"I don't know, but she's great!" Yang said,
"Maybe get her to teach you a few steps." Blake teased as Yang just bumped her hip into Blake jokingly.
"When you don't know where to turn to
And you're sure all hope is gone
When the day you waited for won't come
And dark won't yield to dawn"
Ruby was moved so gracefully, even with her full attention on Weiss face, they finally stop, as Weiss and Ruby hold onto one another. They can't stop smiling, as they stare into one another's eyes.
"Weiss.."
"Yes Ruby.."
"Trust love and open up your eyes
Trust love, the truth is there, but sometimes in disguise"
"I never thought I'd feel this way with anyone.. I love you."
"I love you too, it's all like a fairy tale, till I met you, I had stopped believing, thanks for making me believe again,"
"The way's uncertain, but we're together, movin' toward the light When we trust in love and open up our eyes"
Ruby pulled Weiss into a strong, and passionate kiss. Yang sighed, but smiled, her baby sister was the happiest she's been in a long time. Even with all the chaos going on, Ruby had truly found her missing place. As Yang watched, she held onto Blake's hand tightly, as they both knew they had to not only protect Ruby, but also Weiss, for Ruby's sake.
