When Weiss woke up all she could think about was the undeniable and all-encompassing scent of roses. For a moment, a single blissful moment she thought she was still in Ruby's house, still in Ruby's bed, still beside Ruby. But reality crashed down on her like a cinder block when her eyes fluttered open and she was faced with pale blue walls and pristinely white furniture.

Weiss rolled onto her back, staring up and the ceiling and clutching her- Ruby's- bed sheet between her fingers. She truly didn't know how to feel about waking up in her own bed after so long, feeling like she had just taken a massive leap backwards. So she clung to the only thing that proved the last to weeks were in fact reality.

A loud knocking shattered her thoughts.

"Miss Schnee? Are you awake?" The muffled voice came through the door.

"I'm awake." Weiss shouted back, not wanted to leave the comfort of her bed just quite yet.

She only allowed herself a few more moments to bask in the emotions currently thrumming through her veins. Everything felt so surreal. After two weeks of thinking that she wouldn't never return to this room, after thinking she would be better off if she never saw the room again, waking up in it and feeling...happy, feeling a small tingle of warmth,about it felt so strange. She felt like she was betraying herself, a part of herself that still wanted to kick and scream and rebel against her father.

She slipped from beneath the covers, only stopping for a second to stare fondly down at her new bedding.

She strolled into the bathroom and began her morning routine, falling easily back into it after following it for years. After brushing her teeth she stepping into the shower and let out a happy sigh as the warm water fell down her back. Quickly washing her hair and finishing after only a few minutes she stepped out of the showers and got dressed in her room.

She made her way to the door but stopped and look back at her room. Her gaze swept across her the room, feeling that unfamiliar tingle flow down her spine, that sense of comfort, of home, that she had never expected to associate with this place ever again. She couldn't help but smile.

But as soon as she had step out of her own room she felt that feeling wash from her body and a feeling she was very familiar replace it. It was a feeling of uncertainty and unfamiliarity and fear that only came from entering a place she felt unwelcome. A place that she couldn't call home, a place she felt unsafe.

She push the feeling down, drowned it with warm memories of yesterday, of when her father had laughed like she had never seen before, of when Ruby had hugged her so tightly she thought she might pop, of when she saw that shimmer of light in her fathers eyes as he stare down lovingly at her.

Things have change. Things are different now. She chanted to herself, over and over, as she slowly made her way down the hall. She walked towards the dining hall, at what could only be called a snails pace, almost reluctant to reach her destination, not want to see what awaited her there.

Even thought she walked slowly she reached the door in what felt like the blink of an eyes. She took a deep breath and pushed open the door, nothing giving her mind the chance to create more dreadful scenarios.

To her absolute and honest surprise her father was sat at the head of the table, a mug of coffee in one hand and a newspaper in the other, reading class perched on his nose as he peered down at the text. He had a plain white shirt on with a black tie slung around his neck, which in itself was surprising as she could only ever remember seeing him in a full white suit. The scene was such a cliché that she almost wanted to laugh.

The noise of the door opening had drawn his attention to her and a moment of blankness clouded his face, like he was stunned by the fact that she had actually joined him for breakfast. The surprise melted away after a moment and gave way to a gently smile, the words 'Goodmorning Weiss' falling from between it.

Relief flooded Weiss and she quickly moved to take a seat close to her father, not right next to him, not on the opposite side of the table like usual. When she looked up he had a look of reluctant acceptance, with a underlying of hurt, and she was sure it was in relation to her seating choice. But she decided that this was all she could manage and he seemed to know too as he returned his gaze to his newspaper.

Silence past and the clattering of plates from another room filled the space. The scene was starting to become all too familiar, disturbingly like their meals before her two weeks away, and that was something that Weiss didn't want. She didn't want to feel like there was a endless abyss between them went in reality it was only a few feet. Even though she realised that it would take a long time to rebuild the bridge that had collapse she also realised that she would have to start somewhere.

So she started tried starting a conservation, saying the very first thing that came to mind.

"You're not wearing your suit." She said, quietly, testing the waters because while she was certain conversation at breakfast was something every normal family did there was still a nagging feeling of fear in the back of her mind.

Her father glanced up, catching his daughters hesitant and guarded expression. It was the expression he expected from a person falling to their death from a thousand feet. As if his daughter was looking to the sky and falling, not knowing when she was going to hit the ground but already resined to the inevitable.

So he just smiled.

"I threw them out." The said almost proudly and when his daughter turned to him with a expression of pure shock he let a chuckle roll from his throat.

"Bu-but, you always wear those suits." Weiss sputtered, absolutely confused by her fathers sudden disposal of attire.

"I realised how ridiculous it was to wear the same suit all the time, as if I was some sort of cartoon character." His sentence was punctuated with a soft bout of laughter from his daughter and the sound brought and unbelievably wide smile to his face.

"I suppose it was rather childish." Weiss replied around a mouthful of food.

He was about to scold her about talking with her mouthful after all the years disciplined on proper dining etiquette but caught himself just before it was too late, holding his tongue. He realised that he didn't have the right to scold her for anything. Not right now. Not only a day after he had accepted his own daughter in her home after practically kicking her out. So with a unnoticed shake of his head he returned his attention to his newspaper.

"I can't believe you would say that about your old man, especially after not telling me just how ridiculous I looked for all those years." He mumbled in a childlike way that held no actual offence.

Weiss shoved a few books into her locker, pulling the ones she needed out. She slammed the locker door closed with a sigh, her head dropping slightly to the look at the floor.

She had been feeling slightly off today and she knew exactly why. She hadn't seen Ruby yet today and it was lunch. They didn't have any shared lessons today and after two weeks with her girlfriend Weiss figured the she was going through withdrawal.

She shook her heads at the own thoughts, leaning towards the locker slightly to take the weight of her feet. She just stood there and practically counted the seconds as she waited for Ruby, hoping that she would just come bouncing around the corner any second now.

Fortunately it wasn't too long until she got her wish.

She felt a pair of arms slip around her waist and she instantly relaxed into them, feeling the weight in her chest dissolve like it was nothing. Weiss let her eyes flutter shut and let out a happy sigh.

"Weisssssss, I missed you." Ruby whined out from behind her and Weiss found a small smile coming to her lips.

"Ruby, we saw each other just yesterday." Weiss said, her tone not as harsh as it usually would be and more on the teasing side of things.

Weiss felt the arms peel away from her waist reluctantly and Ruby walked to her own locker. She looked over to Weiss with a innocent pout on her face.

"Are you saying that you didn't miss me." Ruby asked with just a hint of insecurity and just that slight bit of it tore at Weiss' heart. She regretted even trying to joke.

"Of course I did." Weiss said softly and she didn't resister the urge to lean forward. Her lips met Ruby's and she felt that familiar spark shot through her. Happiness bubbled up inside of her when she felt Ruby smile against her lips.

"Love you." Was breathed out against her lips, Ruby's voice sounding so sweet, like music, to her ears.

"Love you too."

Ruby paced the small space of her bedroom, tugging nervously at the fabric that clung to her. She was wearing the dress she had wore to dinner with Weiss' father. She wished she didn't have to, she didn't like wearing dresses in the first place, but this was the only thing she had that was appropriate for where they were going and the fact that it was this dress made her feel a sense of dread crawling over her.

Just looking at it have brought back memories from that night where she had felt so helpless and so alone and actually putting it on only made those feeling grow.

So she just couldn't sit still and ended up practically bouncing of her bedroom walls just waiting for Weiss to get here.

She heard the knock at the door and for a moment she just stared at her bedroom door helplessly. When she final got moving again she ran her hands down her dress a few times, straightening out the imaginary creases. She quickly made her way downstairs and pulled open the door before she could change her mind.

What greeted her made her breath catch in her throat.

Weiss was stood on her front step staring up at her with a smile on her face. She was wearing was shoulderless dress with no sleeves, showing much of her pale, milky skin and Ruby drank in the sight it was water. The skirt ended just after her knees and her legs ended in white heels.

The things that stood out the most though was that Weiss wasn't wearing her hair in her signature ponytail. It felt down freely, falling over her shoulders slightly and down her back in endless waves of pure white.

Ruby couldn't resist the urge to drag her eyes over Weiss' form, once then again for good measure.

When her eyes traveled back up to Weiss' face she caught her mouth moving and realised that she was trying to say something.

"Ruby?" She ask, slightly confused, her voice only just fading back into existence.

"You look beautiful." The words fell from her lips without her even thinking about and she felt the blood rush to her cheeks.

For a moment Weiss was stunned clearly not expecting the blunt compliment. After a beat passed her head jolted downwards in embarrassment, her cheeks lighting up with a shade of pink that matched Ruby's.

"You do too. I mean. Look beautiful, that is." Weiss stammered out in an unusual moment of fluster.

Ruby took a few steps forward, breaking out of her trance quite easily. She linked arms with Weiss and had to practically drag her away for the first few steps.

"Thanks! But theres no way I look as good as you." Ruby said watching the flush on Weiss cheeks grow deeper.

"Well, of course you don't. Though that's just the way of things I suppose." Weiss said with a smug tone, even though her cheeks were still burning with heat.

Ruby just laughed at her girlfriends ego.

Weiss let her climb her way into the limousine first and as Ruby got settled following in behind her.

Ruby lifted her eyes to meet the gaze of Weiss' father who was sat on the other side of the car. The air between them was tense and Ruby could tell his smile was slightly nervous. It wasn't much of a surprise, Ruby expected at least this much.

His tight lipped smile stretch just a bit.

"Hello Ruby." His voice was slightly reserved.

"Hello Mister Schnee, thank you for inviting me." Ruby said polity, only just meeting the man's eyes.

He opened his mouth again, as if to continue but then closed his mouth and shook his head, moving his eyes to the window. He looked like he was holding back from something.

Ruby looked over to Weiss, seeing her staring over at her father with a questioning look in her eye. Her gaze moved over to Ruby and she just shrugged.

Ruby's eyes moved around the interior of the car for a moment before settling on an random spot on the floor. She tucked a piece of her hair behind her ear. She took a deep breath and shook her head sightly. She notice that the hair she tucked around her ear had fallen and re-tucked it behind her ear. Her eyes moved from one window to the other watching as the landscape roared by. The hair behind her ear fell again and she moved tuck it back.

Her hand got caught midair and she turned to look at Weiss who had a small smile on her lips.

"Nervous?" She asked, her amusement lighting up her voice.

"No." Ruby huffed.

Weiss just shot her a pointed look.

"Yes." She sighed, deflating slightly.

"Whats there to be nervous about?" Weiss asked softly.

"Everything." Ruby said, her voice sounding as if she was already doomed.

"Ruby, there is nothing to worry about."

"But there is! What if I fall in these damn shoes." Ruby stamped her foot on the ground angrily for emphasis.

"If you fall, i'll catch you." Weiss countered.

"Okay, but what if people laugh." Ruby said, sounding annoyed that her first worry was shot down like it was noting.

"Ruby you forget that these people are high class. They haven't laughed in years so you have nothing to worry about." Weiss said, only half joking. She decided not to mention that they won't laugh but probably will make venomous comments behind their wine glasses.

"But...what if someone tries to talk to me. I'll probably seem like an idiot." Ruby could just picture it now. Someone would probably ask her a question and she wouldn't even recognise half the words they used in the question.

"I'll be beside you all night. I can do all the talking for you." Weiss said, a soft smile on her face.

Ruby just sighed, realising that it would be useless to go on. Weiss would have an answer for anything she could come up with.

"Feel better now?" Weiss asked.

"Not really."

"Okay..." Weiss said sounding slightly annoyed but then her voice softened as she continued.

"Think about it this way, even if someone talks to you and you mess up, which causes you to trip, stumble into the food and drinks table and fall head first into the punch bowl, which causes everyone to laugh at you and then you get kicked out, it doesn't matter..." Ruby looked slightly more annoyed with every second that Weiss' scenario continued.

When Weiss' voice trailed off into nothing, it caused Ruby to turn her head from where she was staring out of the window, meeting Weiss eyes that shone with emotion.

"it doesn't matter, because I'll still love you." She whispered, her warm breath washing over the skin of her cheek. Ruby just stared into those eyes that looked at her with so much love and cared she almost drowned in it.

"And i'll pick you up, right out of the punch bowl, even if it means ruining my dress." Weiss continued, her words causing a giggle from Ruby.

"And i'll take you home and clean you up." Weiss said, causing a blush to erupted on Ruby's cheeks at the image.

"And i'll hold you until you fall asleep." Weiss smiled fondly at the girl who was now in her arms.

"So don't worry about what anyone else think, or what they'll say, because you'll always have me." Weiss said in a hushed tone, inching closer to Ruby with every word. Their lips met, passion and love and care poured into every gently movement, every loving caress.

When Ruby pulled away her face was lit up in pink and she hid in the crook of Weiss' neck.

Weiss could feel the words 'I love you Weiss' mumbled against the skin of the shoulder.

"I love you too." Weiss whispered against the shell of her girlfriends ears. She pulled back slight, only to lean back in, pressing her lips against Ruby's cheek and then again on the girls jaw. She ran her hands up Ruby's back, fingers dancing up the girls neck before resting on her cheek. Wisps of Ruby's hair tickling at the back of her hand and Weiss didn't resist the urge to curl a lock around her finger.

Weiss sighed happily, sheer bliss flooding out in the form of her breath.

The sound of someone clearing their throat broke through the haze that surrounded the two.

Ruby looked over at Weiss' father, mumbling a apology, while Weiss just glared a whole in the window, quite annoyed that their moment had been interrupted.

"Don't apologise." He said and Ruby could hear the sincerity in that statement.

"I just thought i'd let you two know that we're here." He continued, his voice somewhat amused.

Weiss' gaze snapped over to meet her father, her face set in a slight scowl.

"Thank you father, we'll be right behind you." She said pointedly, her voice sharp and cold.

He didn't even looked surprised, just nodded slightly before getting of out the car.

A few moments passed in silence, Ruby processing what she had just seen, the heated stare Weiss had aimed at her dad, the way he just gave with without a fight. Weiss used the few moments to allow herself to relax slightly, her hand reaching back up to Ruby's cheek, her eyes meeting her girlfriend's again.

"He's trying y'know." Ruby mumbled softly, trying not to provoke Weiss in anyway.

Weiss let out a breath, sighing, because of course she knew that, she knew but she couldn't help that sometimes her anger would just flare up at random moments, usually about Ruby. She couldn't help that whenever her girlfriend came up, or would be around, that she flashback to how he had treated her that night at dinner. How he had told her that she wasn't good enough when in reality Ruby was ten times more than Weiss could ever ask for. She hated that he had almost ruined her friendship with Ruby, because even though that had been the full extend of their relationship at the time, friendship, it still mean't everything to her.

"Yes, I know, of course I do but...sometimes I just can't help but be angry." Weiss said, sounding regretful. She didn't want to be angry, she didn't want to be filled with rage every time he smiled and it seemed like he was just trying to sweep everything under the rug.

"Will it ever get better?" Weiss asked, her voice strain and weak, almost to the point that it sounded hopeless.

Ruby's arms tightened around Weiss' waist, her heart clenching painfully and the tone of the other girls voice.

"Oh Weiss-y, it'll be okay. It'll just take more than an a couple days." Ruby said softly, threading her fingers softly through her girlfriend's hair.

"I appreciate the advice Ruby, but please do not call me Weiss-y." The last word was said with slight disgust, Weiss clearly not happy with her new pet name.

Ruby pulled back slightly, eyeing Weiss with curiosity, before her lips pulled up in an evil grin. She quickly jumped up from her seat, chirping a cheerful 'Nope'.

"Now c'mon Weiss-y, lets go." Ruby said, a teasing tone to her voice, before practically diving out of the limo.

"Ruby Rose! Do not. Call. me. that!" Weiss yelled following Ruby out of the car.

The two followed Weiss' father into the building, coming to a set of large doors that had been propped open. Two people stood dutifully to the side of the doors greeting people as they entered. Mister Schnee made his way up to them without hesitation, shaking the mans hand then moving over the kiss the woman on the cheek.

"Viktor! Good to see you, been a while hasn't it." The man say, a bright but reserved smile crossing his face.

"Just been busy as usual friend. How have you been?" He ask, seeming at least somewhat genuinely interested.

"Same old, same old, nothing interesting." He said shaking his head with a laugh, causing a small chuckle from Mister Schnee. Ruby didn't really understand the joke.

The mans eyes drifted over to Weiss, and by proxy, Ruby. Ruby tensed slightly as he seemed to look them up and down before locking onto their eyes, holding eye contact.

"Ah! This must be Weiss. Nice to meet you." He said politely, holding out his hand for her to take.

"Weiss Schnee." She said, seemingly out of obligation, and reached out to take the hand offered.

His eyes shifted to Ruby.

"You must be a friend of Weiss'." He said, the same smile still plastered on his face.

Ruby froze for a moment, surprised that anyone was even talking to her, then slowly raised her hand to take his, planning on just nodding her head and keeping her mouth shut. But before she could barely move her hand Weiss had spoken up.

"No, actually, Ruby is my girlfriend." Weiss said proudly, only seeming slightly embarrassed.

Ruby took in the slightly shocked expression of the man in front of her for a moment before turning to catch the subdued blush on her girlfriend's cheeks. Before turning back to the man who's mask of indifference was only just slipping back into place.

She smiled brightly, taking the man's still outstretched hand and shaking it.

"I'm Ruby, nice to meet you." She said, not being able to keep the sly smirk off her face as she shook back half heartily.

"Yes...yes, of course. Nice to meet you too Ruby." He said, recovering from his initial shock.

Weiss lead Ruby into the main hall and away from the man who seemed to be unable to get his bearings.

Ruby took in the sea of people in front of her and feel panic tickle at the back of her mind. She was absolutely sure that she would make a fool of herself at least once this evening, but remembering Weiss' words in the car, she push the panic to the side.

She looked over to Weiss, meeting her eyes and letting a small smile fall in place.

"So, what do we do now?" Ruby asked honestly, having no idea what to do.

"Whatever you want." Weiss said with a small smile.

"I'm hungry." Ruby said immediately, not having ate much today due to nerves.

Weiss replied with a small laugh, covering her mouth with her hand slightly.

"Of course you are. Come on you dolt." Weiss lead Ruby over to a table that was cover with a wide range of food.

She watched as Ruby surveyed the table for a moment, her eyes scanning every item of food laid out, then her face scrunched up slightly.

"Weiss."

"Yes Ruby?"

"I have no idea what any of this is."

Weiss just laughed, causing a look of mock hurt from Ruby which quickly morphed into a smile as Weiss started picking out different things she thought Ruby would like.

When Ruby had gotten her food people had started approaching Weiss, talking to her about different things that Ruby barely understood, and so found herself zoning out for most of the conversation. Though with every person that came to talk to Weiss, she would introduce Ruby as her girlfriend without fail and Ruby enjoyed the warmth that swirled in her chest every time it happened.

After about an hour of random conversation, Weiss had persuaded Ruby to dance with her. So after having to drag Ruby out on to the dance floor, she stood there looking at Ruby expectantly before realising a slight flaw in her plan.

"You don't know how to dance do you?" Weiss asked, watching as Ruby shook her head dejectedly, causing Weiss heart to clench painfully.

"Hey, it's okay." Weiss mumbled, when Ruby's eye fell to the floor.

"No it isn't. If you were dating one of these high-class people, you won't have this problem, they'd know how to dance." Ruby said childishly, suddenly feeling out of place surrounded by all these sophisticated people

"Ruby, it's fine. We can just...sway." Weiss watch as Ruby face screwed up slightly, looking up at her in confusion.

"Sway?"

"Yes. Just...here, put you're arms around me." Weiss said, guiding Ruby's arms around her waist. She then wrapped her own arms loosely around Ruby's neck and began rocking their bodies gently from side to side.

She felt Ruby sigh happily into her neck, feeling a tingle shoot down her spine at the sensation. She relaxed into the embrace, feeling Ruby's arms loosen just enough to hold onto her firmly and let her eyes flutter closed. She focused on the sound of the soft music floating through the hall and the feeling of Ruby's arms wrapped around her. In this moment she felt content.

"I don't know how you do it." Ruby whispered into her hair a few moments into the dance.

"Do what?"

"This, make it okay for me to dance in front of all these people." Ruby replied.

Weiss just stayed silent, a happy smile on her face, waiting for Ruby to continue.

"Usually I would have been so nervous that by now I would have tripped and fell over...twice. Then once more trying to get up."

Weiss just shook her head at what she was sure was her girlfriend exaggerating.

"I love you Weiss." Ruby finished, her arms tightening around Weiss' waist for a moment.

Weiss repeated the words to Ruby, softly whispering them against the skin of the girls shoulder.

After a few more minutes of dancing them made their way away from the floor.

They spend another hour milling around, Ruby talking quietly with Weiss until someone would come up and interrupt, stealing Weiss' attention. After the seventh person, Ruby was getting quiet frustration with having to share Weiss with the general public.

"I'm just going to the bathroom but when I come back we can go outside if you want?" Weiss asked, pointed to the doors that let out into a garden area, noticing Ruby's annoyance every time someone would call out her name.

"Yeah, sure, i'd love that. I'll wait here." Ruby said, happy that she'd get time alone with Weiss but also irritated that she'd been so easy to read.

Ruby watched Weiss go until the girl disappeared around the corner, with a sigh she turned back to look over the crowd. However as soon she she turned around she was meet with the face of a boy she didn't know who was standing slightly too close for comfort.

"Hello." He said, a seemingly polite smile curling at his lips.

Ruby panic for a moment, realising that she wouldn't have Weiss to save her from conversation this time, but she quickly steeled herself, taking a mental, calming breath. She had been watching Weiss talk to people she hated all night, so Ruby was sure she could do it this once.

"Hi." She said, forcing her lips into a smile.

"Was that Weiss Schnee you were just talking to?" He asked in a way that told Ruby she should just lie and say no but she pushed the feeling away, her smile turning genuine at the thought of her girlfriend.

"Yeah, why?"

"You two seem close, I haven't seen her leave your side all night." Ruby paused at his words. He had been watching them...all night?

A chill swept over her body but she willed herself to stay calm.

"Yeah, I guess you could say were close." She said, having to restrain herself from smirking.

His smile seemed to grow slightly, as if he had achieved something, like he was one step closer to something.

"If you're close then you should know, is she's dating anyone right now?"

Ruby felt her bow furrow in annoyance.

"Yes. I happen to know she is." Ruby said, her voice cool light steel.

"Oh, really?" He seemed disappointed, deflating and Ruby cheered mentally, glad he had seemingly been put in his place.

"Do you know who might that be?" He asked, curious eyes focused on Ruby, as if he didn't believe her.

Ruby tired, she tried so hard not to sigh but she couldn't help it.

"Yes." She asked, hoping he would just leave her alone now, not wanting to deal with the inevitable when this boy found out that the girl he had his eye on was 'stolen' away by not only a girl but a girl probably four years younger than him.

But he didn't leave, just stared at her expectantly, a strange determination in his eyes.

"Me. Hello i'm Ruby Rose." She said, smiling, her back straightening so she stood at her full heigh.

She watched as his draw dropped and he froze for a moment before the anger and frustration Ruby had expect took over, his eyebrows drawing together.

"You?" He asked, his voice sounding venomous.

"Yes, me." Ruby replied, her voice unwavering. The one thing that she had learn't from Weiss about being 'high-class' is that they hate to cause a scene and so she was sure he would do anything more then mutter angry comments as he walked away.

"You're a girl." He said, sounding slightly bewildered.

"Oh, thats fantastic, you have eyes. Now if you only had a brain." A voice said cruelly from behind Ruby and instantly she relaxed. Weiss walked around her, standing between her and the boy whose anger had only grown at Weiss' comment.

"Now go on, shoo." Weiss said, making a hand dismissive hand gesture, causing the boy to do what Ruby had expected from the beginning, slouch and walk away muttering offensive slurs.

As soon as the boy was gone Weiss turn to her, her eyes meet Ruby's, shining with sympathy and annoyance.

"Sorry you had to deal with that. I didn't think many people our age would be here so I didn't think that would happen."

Ruby grabbed Weiss' hand, rubbing the pad of her thumb over the back of it soothingly.

"It's okay. You dealt with the hard part anyway."

"Come on. Lets go outside."

Ruby just nodded, following Weiss towards the large glass doors that lead outside. Ruby had the fleeting thought that she would always be met with surprise after being introduced as Weiss' girlfriend. She quickly realised that even though the surprised look would quickly get annoying that she wouldn't mind if it mean't she got to be with Weiss.

When they got outside, Ruby was meet with the slightly cold air of the night, but couldn't find it in herself to mind. Her eyes immediately turn upwards, seeking out the stars. She was disappointed, the sky being washed out by the light around them.

She didn't have much time to dwell on it, being tugged down a small path and into the maze of short hedges. A while of wondering around Ruby found herself far enough away from the hall that the sound of people chatting and the soft chime of music mixed and blended into a general din. She sighed in relief as she dropped onto a bench.

She watch as Weiss followed her, sitting down just beside her.

"Glad to get away from that room?" Weiss asked, her amusement obvious in her voice. Clearly she had enjoyed watching Ruby struggle all night.

"God, yes. More than anything." Ruby breathed out, not being able to find it in herself to be mad at Weiss, after all she was a walking disaster waiting to happen.

"I think you did alright. I had to call you're name about five times when people were talking to you but that can be fixed easily." Weiss said, actually sounding serious.

"You mean I have to come to more of these things?" Ruby asked, sounding completely terrified by the thought.

"Of course, I mean you are my girlfriend. If you weren't here who would fend off all the mouth breathers that think they have a shot with me." Weiss said, earning a giggle from Ruby for her brutality.

"Oh, yeah, because anyone with the confidence to go after you will be scared off by a sixteen year old girl." Ruby said, not sounding too beaten up about the fact that she wouldn't have to scare anyway any 'mouth breathers'.

"Well, that just another think we'll have to teach you."

"Looking forward to it." Ruby said, spinning her finger in celebrating, a small 'whoop' to add to the effect. Ruby had no doubt that in a couple of week she would be attending 'Weiss Schnee's: How to protect you're girlfriend from the imbeciles' classes.

Their conversation drifted off into silence and Ruby turned her gaze to the sky, looking out at the few stars that danced half-heartedly. She felt Weiss' head rest on her shoulder and she turned her head, pressing a kiss into Weiss' hair, the action earning a content hum from the girl.

Ruby turned her gaze back to the night sky, noticing a star that seemed to shine brighter than all the others. Ruby watched for a moment as it hung gracefully in the darkening night. Then it started drifting slowly downward and for a second Ruby wanted to rub at her eyes disbelievingly but settled on just narrowing them. She watched through narrowed eyes for a moment before raising her hand and opening her palm.

The snowflake gently felling into Ruby's open hand and she found a small smile flickering to life at the sight. She took in the intricate, beautiful patterns of the small piece of frost and watched as it sparkled brilliantly in the dim light. The snowflake quickly melted against the heat of her skin and she watched as it turn into a small puddle of water in the palm of her hand.

She turned her head towards Weiss and her small smile turned into a full-blown grin. She nudged her girlfriend with her shoulder, successfully getting Weiss' attention. She then nodded her head towards the sky and Weiss followed her gaze.

Weiss sighed happily as an uncountable amount of snowflakes followed the first. She watched for a moment and felt her lips curl into a slightly awed smile.

"Beautiful." She breathed out, causing Ruby's head to turn towards her.

"Not as beautiful as you." Ruby whispered, without even thinking about it.

Weiss turned to her head, meeting Ruby's eyes and seeing the sincerity and care in her eyes. She had been called beautiful too many times to count but no one says it with as much honesty as Ruby. After a moment her face lit up in a blush and she buried her face into her girlfriends shoulder.

"God that was so cheesy. You are such a dolt."

"Yeah, but you love me." Ruby said, unable to help the wide smile that appeared.

Weiss lifted her face, meeting her girlfriends eyes once more.

"I do you love." Weiss said, pressing a sweet, chaste kiss to the other girls lips.

"Love you too, Weiss."
