WhiteRose Week 2023: Day 5
Girl Kisser | Maid Cafe AU
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works
Weiss lays down on her couch and fans herself with a magazine that was nearby. Her roommate, Coco, walks in and sees Weiss. “C’mon, kid,” Coco says. “You have to stop working yourself to death.” Weiss glares at her and sighs. “No counter? That’s a new one from you.”
“I’m too tired today, dunce,” Weiss groans. Coco sits down on the couch. “Hey!”
“You’re small enough for both of us to be on the couch,” Coco jabs. “Relax.” Coco pulls out a flier and gives it to Weiss. Weiss inspects the flier.
Bun-Bun Maid Cafe
Where all your troubles go to rest.
Food! Desert! Drinks!
Weiss tosses it back to Coco. “You really think I would like something like this?” Weiss scorns.
“We all know you’re a girl kisser,” Coco jests and Weiss blushes. “Even if you weren’t, a friend of mine works there. I think it’d be nice if we went.”
“Fine,” Weiss grunts. “Just once, okay?”
“Fine. Whatever to get you out of the house.”

Weiss stared at the front of the cafe and rubbed her forehead. “This is stupid,” she whispered and Coco glared at her. Coco pushed Weiss to the door. Weiss bites her lip and enters the cafe. She had to admit, it was cute. All the waitresses were dressed nicely and it reminded her of her father’s mansion. However, unlike that hellscape, the cafe also had a homey feeling to it with the warm lighting and a good amount of greenery on the walls. On display were various types of cakes and pastries. It was all so sweet.
Well, maybe a bit too sweet because Weiss then saw a blonde maid hand-feeding a dark-haired customer with cat ears. Her eyes widen in horror and slowly begins to walk away. “Hello!” a maid with rabbit ears said. “You’re Coco’s roommate, right.” Weiss nods and tries to formulate a plan for how to get out through the door. “She’s told me so much about you. Please, take a seat.” The girl begins to drag Weiss to a table and sits her down. “Girls, get her a menu.” The blonde girl gave Weiss a menu and smirked at her. Weiss blushes and looks away.
“If you need anything, just ask for Velvet,” the blonde says. “She’s pretty much the captain of this place.”
“May I ask you something?” Weiss asks and the blonde nods. “You aren’t going to feed me like you did the other girl?” The blonde laughs.
“No!” Weiss sighs in relief as the burden has been lifted. “I only do it to her because she’s my girlfriend. Plus, you’re really going to have to push for your waitress to do that.”
“My waitress?” Weiss asks as another customer walks in.
“Oop, gotta go,” she says. “If you need me, ask for Yang.”
Yang walks away and Weiss looks at the menu. She could get a salad, but something about this place made her think that she should indulge just a bit. “Do you know what you’d like to order?” a waitress asks. Weiss looks up and is greeted by the cutest girl she’s ever seen with the cutest smile. Her silver eyes were as brilliant as Weiss’s jewelry. Her hair was brushed perfectly and was dyed red at the tips. She was cute and Weiss’s blushing face showed it. “Um…I was wondering if you’d like to order anything?” Weiss woke up from her trance.
“Oh. Forgive me…let me get um…” Where was Weiss’s words? For the first time in her life, she struggled to get words out. She could only muster one word. “Cake.”
“What kind of cake?” Weiss looked around for something and she saw a strawberry pin on the waitress's dress.
“Strawberry, please.” The waitress’s eyes light up and smiles brightly. Weiss began to blush again.
“You like strawberries?!” the girl asks. Weiss nods. “I love strawberries!”
“Wow…” Weiss whispers. “Marry me.”
“What?” the maid says.
“What?” Weiss says back with flaring cheeks.
“Well, Ruby Rose will be back with your cake,” Ruby says and she walks away.
“O-okay Ruby,” Weiss mumbles.
That would not be the last time Weiss would go to the cafe. And it wasn’t because of the food, although the cakes were delicious. Rather, Weiss would come to talk to Ruby. Something about her made Weiss’s heart skip a beat. Was it the way she looked? How sweet she was?
Or was it something…deeper?
She enters the cafe and sees Yang feeding Blake (her girlfriend is named Blake), and she wonders if she could have that with Ruby. Weiss sits down and looks at the menu. “Cake again, Weiss?” Ruby asks. Weiss puts down the menu and sighs.
What should she say? She knows what she wants but can she get it? Will it be so unattainable that her heart will shatter to nothing? Weiss bites her lip and begins to speak. “I want more…” Weiss mumbles as she looks at Ruby.
“Well, I can always get you more than just cake,” Ruby says with her signature smile. Weiss wanted to tear her hair out as Ruby smiled at her.
“No! Not like that, dolt,” Weiss explains.
“Then what do you mean?”
Weiss sits up and stares Ruby dead in the eye. “I want more with you,” Weiss says.
“Huh?” Ruby gasps. Weiss attempts to take her hands but thinks second of it.
“Do you…want to have a drink with me somtime? My treat,” Weiss offers softly.
“Are you asking me on a date?” Ruby asks.
“Y-Yes,” Weiss stutters as she nods. “I would like it if we got closer.”
“Sure,” Ruby beams.
“Great. How does Sunday night sound?”
“Sounds great.”
Ruby begins to write down her number on her notepad and gives it to Weiss. “Call me,” Ruby says. Weiss nods and holds the number in her hand.
She has a number.
She has a date.
Does she have a girlfriend now?
Velvet smiles at the exchange and sends the picture she took of them to Coco. Coco replies with two words.
“Girl kisser.”
