Thoughts a Nordic Winter au?
“You cant keep doing this to yourself,” Weiss said as she rubbed a little lotion onto Nora’s back, unconsciously following the electricity scars that ran down her skin. “I know you made a promise to him-”
“And I have to keep him safe!” Nora sighed and tried to relax as her muscles tightened from the cold lotion. “Ren needs me too.”
“He does, but that doesnt mean you have to drop everything for him. He can take care of himself too.”
“Yeah but-”
“No buts. He, Yang, and Ruby will be fine.”
“What if they arent though? Ren is all I had for a while and if I lose him… then… where does that leave me?”
“WIth your girlfriend.” Weiss sighed and pulled her hand away from Nora’s back and gently turned her around. A small smile crossed her lips as she put a hand to her girlfriend’s cheek. “But you need to calm down and relax. I know you’re a maiden now and letting your emotions run wild isnt going to help anyone. You need to trust that Ren will be okay and that our friends will come back safe.”
“Is that why you didnt go with Ruby?” Nora asked. “Because you trust her?”
“That… and other things.” Weiss sighed and looked over at her computer, spreadsheet after spreadsheet pulled up from data on the SDC and how her father had been running the company on the screen. “I’m in charge of the SDC, I have you I need to stick by while we figure out how to help you with your powers, Atlas has its own problems… I’ve had to stop with huntressing for now until everything is settled.”
“You say that like staying with me is hurting you.”
“Its not. Its… this is all a bump in the road, but we’ll get through this.” Weiss kissed Nora and stood up. “In the morning we can do more training and tests. I… I think I know a way to help hold back your power for a bit until you can get used to it.”
Nora winced and rubbed her wrists. “Not going to be like last time and those bracelets you had me wear, right?”
“No, not this time. I need some time to go over my father’s notes and I can let you know more in the morning, okay?”
“Fine.”
“Good. Now get some rest. You need to let yourself heal.”
Nora rolled her eyes and smiled a bit. “Who knew you cared so much.”
“I’ve always cared. Even if it never looks like it, I always care about you.”
