baby blues , normally reflecting strength now dull with dread. with fear. weiss should’ve known vernal would leave eventually , like most good things do , but why did it have to be now ? weiss schnee , the girl so used to obtaining anything she desires , though now it seems what she wants the most is just out of reach. funny. ❛ y - you don ‘ t have to leave , you know — !! you . . . have a place here with us. with me. ❜

unprompted @unroyale.  

          “ don’t do this. ”  her voice is firm, however, tears stinging her eyes defy her verbal wishes.  “ that’d be like — like me asking you to leave your team — it isn’t fair, weiss, and you know it! ”  the brunette’s distress overtakes her, and she turns to face weiss fully despite not wanting to do so.  the more i look at her the more i’ll want to stay.  torn between her origins and her future, between those who made her who she is and the one who loves her for who she is.  no, fuck, shit.  she can’t refrain from comforting that shaking voice, and those big doe eyes.  vernal’s quick to run back to her across the gravel path, wrap her arms around her, hold weiss’s head to her chest.  the false maiden is like a wild animal, being re - released into the wild, but unable to part from the connections she’d made.  she’s suffering for it, her stupidity, her feelings for a girl far out of her league.  

         “ weiss … ”  i love you.  no, that’s stupid, don’t say that.  make it easy for her to hate you.  “ i know i’ll never mean as much to you as your team does. ”  she says it matter of factly, so that her lover cannot argue, and her voice is colder than weiss’s typical exterior.  “ it would be much easier if you forgot about me, i promise you— ”  she starts, parting slightly from the embrace to cup ice - knight’s cheek and look in her eyes.  ah, but vernal’s own baby blues are vulnerable, and a lump of emotion forms in her throat like a rock.  trembling fingertips brush schnee’s bangs from her eyes, and back behind her ear.  “ i don’t belong here, babygirl.  with your team, ozpin— i don’t belong with you. ”  she says it through the tears nearly blinding her, shaking her head and allowing sobs to come up.  no matter how she tries to swallow them down, they persist, and she’s back to holding weiss against her chest, whole body damn convulsing.  

        “ gods damn it— ”  she leans in, thumbing weiss’s chin and lifting it to meet her own visage.  spring lips meet winter in an equinox kiss, april rain fluttering down vernal’s cheeks from her tear ducts as she kisses her with the ferocity of an earth born again.  “ weiss, i swear to god, i— fuck.  fuck.  i can’t stay with you.  i can’t, baby. ”  raven looks impatient, annoyed across the way, still waiting to greet her thought - to - be - lost soldier, and vernal has half a mind to shoot her a death glare.  her eyes fall back to her lover.  vernal’s voice cracks amidst her flower - fragile heartbreak.  “ you deserve the whole gods damned world.  don’t you dare let anyone give you less. ”  and like that, she’s gone as quickly as she’d come, turned away and running into the wilderness and not looking back.

' how are things progressing ? ' ah, ever the dutiful older brother, checking in. they made a vague gesture towards weiss across the room, raising their hand a little to obscure an amused smile.

It was nice to finally have some down time after the past few days. Between the train crash, nearly getting stuck out in a blizzard, and having the deal with the Apathy, Ruby was just glad to have her friends back and for a sense of normalcy to return. Or ‘Normal Knees’ as she liked to mentally tell herself. After they had finished their sandwiches, Ruby stood by the kitchen’s doorway to take some time away and just observe her friends chatting. She had hardly noticed her adopted older sibling slide up next to her. 

“Ah..about that...” She smiled, a hint of blush in her cheeks. “Weiss might put less sugar in my coffee if I tell you but we’ve...sort of been together for a little while now.” She turned her head to look up to Ren, smiling even more.

“She confessed to me while I was trying to help her with her wound a few days after the battle at Haven. I never expected her to feel the same way I do, but she does. And I cried, Ren. I was just so relieved!” Ruby’s silver eyes turned back to Weiss, who was chatting with Terra on the farthest couch. The lioness glanced up and their gazes met, both now sharing a tender smile as Ruby waved slightly.

“Don’t tell anyone else though ok? We’re trying to keep it a little quiet considering everything that’s going on.”

{ Weiss } / @unroyale​

        is she being too forward ? too brash &. ultimately pushing ruby to a corner that weiss knows she can’t escape from ? a part of the runaway wonders if she should simply excuse herself from the situation , lie &. say ‘ i don’t know what i was thinking ‘  or  ‘ i’m sorry to bother you ‘ , but at the same .. when has weiss schnee ever fled from getting answers she so adamantly desires ? ( never. not now , not ever. )  there are feelings she’s been harbouring under lock &. key ; feelings that weiss once tried to ignore as naught more than friendship in a pathetic , weak attempt to keep herself safely grounded &. guarded , all of which now useless. useless excuses that schnee girl can’t hide nor dismiss any longer. ( the heart wants what the heart wants. ) hands remove themselves from ruby’s &. instead they draw near the apples of beautiful , red flourished cheeks soon - to - be cupped tenderly in palm. gaze remains intertwined with silver mirrors. inhale , exhale.         ❛        .. after yang &. i came through the portal .. &. after i saw you standing there , it — felt like my heart was going to explode. memories of all the dates we went in back at beacon , all the times i looked at you &. you looked at me — everything came rushing back at once.      ❜   she must sound like an idiot here , isn’t that right ?  spilling her guts like this , like an infatuated school girl confessing to long time crush as though this is the last time either of them will ever be near one another.  ❛       what i’m trying to say here is … i think i love you , ruby. no ; i KNOW i do.       ❜  what a lovestruck fool she is.

Silver eyes rotated downward to avoid Weiss’ gaze. She was sure that this was it. This was the moment where everything would come crashing down. With her confession now out in the open, Weiss would surely reject her feelings. Their friendship would drift apart and the dynamic within Team RWBY would be broken. And it would all be her fault. Ruby did her best to steel her heart for the rejection to come.

But then she felt soft, cold hands on her cheeks. Her eyes snapped back up to meet the cold blue gaze of her partner. At first, the words didn’t register. At first, all Ruby could hear was Weiss’ voice and not the words she was actually speaking. But as she began to process what was said, her eyes began to water immensely. Tears quickly began to roll from her ducts, running down her cheeks and over the lioness’ hands. 

“W..what the heck..? That’s...I wasn’t expecting that at all.” Her breath hitched as a smile began to tug at the corners of her lips. Weiss loved her. Weiss loved her and she knew it. Her heart felt as if it had stopped. The warmth that bloomed in her chest as her smile grew just made her feel like a giddy fool. Her own hands come up to rest over Weiss’, her eyes not breaking the gaze they shared. 

“Are you serious, Weiss? Serious serious? I..” She sniffled, moving her head to try and wipe her eyes on her shoulders. “I love you too. I have for so long. And I was so scared of what you would say and..I love you.”

flops herself in yang’s lap like she belongs there , straddling hips &. coiling slender arms around the brawler’s neck. she’s tired , to be truthful , but that won’t stop girl frost from peppering sleepy kisses to their temple &. cheek.

unprompted @unroyale.

          “ heyyyy there, sleepy, ”  the blonde said, surprised expression overtaking visage.  it was true that they were to leave the haven residence soon, embarking back to weiss’s home.  but that didn’t mean that the other students weren’t still roaming the house.  the possibility of someone watching them from the kitchen area combined with the warmth of thighs over their crotch caused the heat in their body to rise to their head.  arms smoothly snaked around their teammate’s waist, bringing her closer to their figure and slotting their bodies together more tightly.  yang attempted to ignore the thought of others being able to see them out so openly on the couch by accepting her kisses with a smirk, cold digits of mechanical hand drawing circles on bare skin of her back beneath schnee’s pajama top.  clearing their throat, powerhouse parted slightly from lioness to comment, while also gesturing with their eyes to the lack of privacy they shared.  “ m - mhmm, awfully affectionate tonight, huh ? ”  yang commented, quirking an eyebrow upward.  it was a rare display of love that weiss put on, so despite the openness of their embrace, xiao long would eat it up as long as it was given to them.

          looking around to gauge if anyone else was around, they eventually determined that nobody was.  dragon - named brawler silently tilted their head, pressing sensual kisses to ivory neck at slow, agonizing pace.  whatever weiss was feeling at the moment, she was tired, or upset, or simply wanted attention.  and yang would happily oblige her with warm smooches ( despite popular belief, weiss schnee wasn’t cold by any means — how does ice - wrought girl make sunshine hotter ? ).  still, they continued on in their trail of affection, stopping at schnee’s collarbone and looking upward with big, amethyst eyes analyzing ex - heiress’s countenance.  the line between romance and friendship had yet to be drawn by either of them, but one thing was certain: yang wasn’t about to cross that line or the invisible one that seemed to keep their physicality less than sexual.  

          pausing, human limb rose to brush weiss’s bangs out of her eyes, and they planted chaste kiss onto her forehead.  “ ‘m glad you’re opening up to me.  turns out the ice princess isn’t so cold after all, huh? ” they teased.

‘   ooo   —   what about these ones   ?   ’   white paladin’s scratchy timbre calls across store with little decorum, waving around a pack catching blue - eyed attention. they’re socks, nothing particularly remarkable, but then again, jaune had never seen himself as so. everything on this shopping trip that called on wanna - be knight’s attention had been bland, neutral, and when it wasn’t then item was garish. jaune tended to overlook the appearance in favour of the cheap price and whether it would suit their purposes or not   (   “ c’mon weiss, no one’s gonna be watching what i’m wearing while we’re running for our lives. ”   )   they were supposed to be preparing for a possible assault in atlas, not a fashion show. besides, jaune’s upgraded armour and weapon set had almost obliterated most of his savings across the year they spent apart. he needed to be thrifty with his lien.   ‘   oh, or that   ?   that looks durable. i don’t think my hoodie’s gonna cut it in the snow.   ’   another jacket with a clashing colour scheme.   hopeless.   (   @unroyale   +   plotted starter.   )

‘you’re important to me.’

meme | a.@unroyale

Ruby sat before Weiss, quiet and unmoving. Her hair covered her eye patch, which took up most of the right side of her face. Now 22 years old, the young huntress had vanished from her home on Patch one day. She had been isolating after her hospital release, but sending letters and messages saying that everything was going great. Clearly it was all a lie when she vanished from Patch, with no note and no way to track her. Nearly two years had passed since she left, and now she returned to her friends. She looked incredibly gaunt, bearing new scars than the ones Weiss had last seen her with. She looked tired as well, but two years of surviving alone would do that to a person.

“I..wanted to come and see you first.“ Ruby began, keeping her head down slightly. “What I did wasn’t fair to you, or any of the others. I just..I needed time. Time away from so many trying to coddle me over what happened. I’m sorry I left without saying anything. I’m sorry I didn’t write or reach out.“ She didn’t expect forgiveness. She honestly wasn’t even sure if Weiss would still want to be with her after all of this. But she still owed her an apology.

                                                                                                          ‘You’re important to me.‘

Weiss’ words broke the silence of the room, causing Ruby to lift her head in surprise. Tears slowly began to stream from her eye, the lone silver gaze not moving from the lioness as she spoke of the rose’s importance. Quickly reaching for her own neck, Ruby pulled the chain out for it to be visible. It still held the ring Weiss had given her on their way to Atlas many years ago. 

“I’ve never taken it off. I’ve kept it safe. I know I have a lot of making up to do, but I love you, Weiss. Do you forgive me?“

❛ gods , you’re so annoying ! ❜ she’s standing on her tiptoes before the cunning gem , expressionism warped. ❛ you think i like you ? me ? like YOU ? ha ! ❜ why was emerald so smug ? weiss suddenly becomes aware of their closeness , light pink washing over porcelain cheeks , but nothing was going to stop her ranting. not now. ❛ you could kiss me right now &. there’d be nothing ! absolutely no spark ! ❜

@unroyale.

EMERALD COULD DO   naught but smirk in the face of yelling schnee, shaking her head.  “ oh, yeah yeah.  if i cared about impressing you i’d have done a lot more by now, promise. ”  crimson gaze stared down at the fingernails that she now picked the dirt out of, pretending to ignore the words coming out of weiss’s mouth.  then suddenly, upon hearing her plea, emerald slowly shifted forward.  she was certain to sway her hips ever - so - gently across weiss’s pelvic region, then placed her hands softly onto the ex - heiress’s ivory cheeks.  

“ i could kiss you, ”  gem began, eyefucking her as if she was already buck naked and they were dead alone in the tempting night.  piercing gaze fell from twin sapphires to pouting pink lips, lingered there, and then traveled back to her eyes.  “ but why would i when you’re yelling at me like a hormonal school boy?  what do they say — if they’re mean to you, they like you? ”  emerald rolled her eyes and lowered her hands to cross her arms.  and with the quizzical quirk of her eyebrow, she was turned around and walking to bed for the night.  “ just think on it, okay?  denial is normal ! ”
