A/N: for day one of @whiterose-fans-blog ‘mountain vacation. Will post the ML soon!
With classes behind them and suitcases packed, Weiss and the rest of her teammates are beyond ready for winter break. They’re spending a week in the Atlas mountains, renting a house large enough to house four teams, not just the two. She’s been craving this trip, needs it, but the one thing she doesn’t need is the constant teasing that she knows is waiting for her.
Weiss should’ve never dated Jaune, she knows that now. Knows that even if the sex and physical chemistry was there, everything else was…not. Besides, a few weeks after their breakup, he had been stuck to Pyrrah’s side, the girl he’d told Weiss she’d never have to worry about.
Typical, but she can’t even say she’s mad about it, if anything, she’s a little relieved when she sees the two of them board the train hand in hand.
The teasing is small, little jabs that she can easily brush off with a chuckle or a roll of her eyes. By day two though, she’s sick of it. Over breakfast, Nora loudly narrates imaginary wedding plans, and Yang nearly chokes on her cereal from laughing. Weiss narrows her eyes at Blake and Ren who quietly grin as they stare into their bowls. With a sigh, Weiss looks at Ruby, expecting a similar response, and is completely thrown when she finds the opposite. Spoon in hand, Ruby is frowning at the rest of their friends before giving a little shake of her head and taking a bite of the sugary flakes.
It’s then that the idea hits Weiss and she stands up, her chair squeaking, hands splayed on the wood. “I know you all think it’s really funny that Juane and I decided to be with other people, but it isn’t. If anything, it’s probably really annoying to Pyrrah and Ruby.”
The table goes quiet, and Pyrrah tilts her head, green eyes blinking slowly. “It is a little bit, actually, for me. But why Ruby?”
“Becaus she’s my girlfriend,” Weiss says quickly, fast enough that she can’t change her mind. Ruby’s spoon falls from her hand and Weiss clears her throat. “We just, didn’t say anything yet. But since you have all insisted on being so immature, I figured you should know.”
Weiss sits back down with a huff, swiping up her utensil while the others stare at her. Ruby swallows, coughing and then says. “I am?”
“Yes,” Weiss replies with a nod. “We’re dating. Obviously. Sorry to say it so brazenly, uh, babe.”
Ruby’s ears go pink but she gives a little nod. “Right yeah, can I talk to you? In private?”
“Of course,” Weiss stands up again, ignoring the way her legs feel like jello as she walks from the table, Ruby hot on her heels. She’s barely out of the room when Ruby grabs her by the elbow and yanks her into the closest bedroom.
“What the hell!” Ruby squeaks, her tone several pitches higher than normal. “What was that about?”
“I’m sorry,” Weiss sighs, rubbing her temples. “I didn’t- uh, think that out. I was just so sick of all of them!”
“So you just what, thought you’d randomly spring a relationship on me?” Ruby asks with a quirk of her brow. “I didn’t even get a chance to ask you.”
“I rhought if I said-“ Weiss starts but then stops, her lips parting. “Wait, what?”
Ruby folds her arms, and even though she’s looking tough, her cheeks are a light shade of pink. “I thought I should give your breakup at least a month before I asked you out but, you beat me to it.”
For once, Weiss is speechless. She blinks, any sort of reply turning into ash on her tongue. Taking in her expression, Ruby snickers, her eyes crinkling at the corners. “What? You gonna say no?”
“No, I just-“ Weiss coughs. “Well I didn’t know.”
“Didn’t know what?”
“That you liked me.”
Ruby’s smile melts a little at the edges, and she takes Weiss’s hand, pulling it close until it rests on the side of Rubys cheek. The girl smiles, her eyes closing for a second before she presses her mouth to Weiss’s palm. “How could I not?”
