Pacing back and forth in her dorm, Weiss was a mess. This morning, Ruby mustered up the courage to ask the heiress to dinner that night
Oobleck was darting from seat to seat talking about grimm anatomy before the bell cut off the energetic man. "Remember class! I want the report of a Nevermore's anatomy on my desk Monday!"
The class collectively groaned before being let out. Nobody liked writing papers.
Ruby finally tracked Weiss down in the large crowd of students, she could already feel her legs growing weak, and her hands beginning to perspire.
"Hey Weiss, I was thinking that we've been friends for a long timeā¦ and uh.." Ruby struggled to remember what she repeated in her head a thousand times, a lump slowly forming in her throat.
Weiss looked at her with concern, but the longer she waited for Ruby to finish, her concern turned to anger."Spit it out dolt!" Weiss spat.
"Do you want to go to dinner tonight!?" Ruby was ran her fingers nervously through her hair. The question sounded like one word, and both Weiss and Ruby were as bright as Ruby's hood. "You know we have been partners for a while, and I barely know you! And I want to know you! Because we're partners, and you're cute and stuff!" Ruby's words were falling off as she continued speaking.
"I'd enjoy that Ruby. How about we go to Stafford's for dinner?" Weiss was emitting confidence, but shrieking on the inside. Weiss never imagined going on a date during her time at Beacon. Especially not with the dolt she called her leader.
"I love that place! Be ready at 6 okay?" Ruby was ecstatic. Not only was she going on a date tonight, but it was the ice queen herself. Ruby almost felt a sense of pride in herself that she could crack Weiss's cold exterior even a little.
Ruby was the reason Weiss was pacing in JNPR's room in a panicked state. She had never been on a date before! What if she was boring to talk to, or talked to much! What if Ruby didn't like what she was wearing? What if Ruby looked way better than her, or vice versa?
"Calm down Weiss, Ruby won't care what you wear. Your presence is what she is most excited for." Pyrrha was walking Weiss through all of this. There to grab Weiss water when she began to sweat due to the nerves, give her advice, and help her with her outfit for the night.
"Ruby said to just dress casual, so I'm sure jeans and a nice shirt will be more than fine Weiss."
Weiss nodded. She was already in her outfit. A pale blue pair of skinny jeans, a pair of white high tops, a powder blue tank top and a white leather jacket over it. Weiss looked unlike herself, especially with the high tops, but that didn't mean she look any less stunning. Her hair was in her normal offset ponytail as she paced around back and forth.
The sun was just beginning to set, golden rays of sunshine started to peek through the drawn curtains in team JNPR's room. Weiss decided to just look out of the dorm window, observing all of the life going on beneath her. Two students were throwing a frisbee, Weiss chuckled at the wolf faunas chasing it down with no problem, practically leaping 3 feet in the air to grab it. Another couple napped under one of the many willow trees on campus, and Weiss's thoughts immediately went back to Ruby.
"Pyrrha, what if she realizes i'm not her type, and we are just going to never work out. When will she realize that she doesn't like me. I don't know what I would do..." For the first time in her life Weiss was nervous. She had always been at the top of her class, the best fencer when she trained, and was the heiress to the most influential company in the world, why would she be nervous? Weiss reached for water as her mouth ran dry once more.
"Have you ever met Ruby? She went back for you on initiation day just so you could be her partner! She asked you out! She stares at you lovingly all class and you barely even notice!" Realizing what she said, Pyrrha chuckled, it must have slipped...
Weiss grew a whole new shade of pink and looked at her feet. She was clicking her heels together like she once saw in a movie, and had a cheesey grin plastered on her face. This was a day of firsts for Weiss, she been asked out on a date, and not paired up with a suitor, she was so nervous at one point she couldn't feel her left hand, and she was actually excited to be with Ruby.
Weiss always saw Ruby as a child, but recently her thoughts slowly shifted. But this, Weiss wasn't expecting this to say the least. She could always see her and Ruby being a powerful duo on the field, but struggled to see past that. Cutting her thoughts short, there was a knock at the door. Uh oh, Weiss thought.
"Coming!" Pyrrha chimed.
"I can do this, I can do this" Weiss repeated. "Just be nice, and don't be mean, and you'll do great!" Weiss just grew more nervous as she spoke to herself.
"Hey Weiss." Ruby spoke very softly, Weiss noticed this and looked up.
She couldn't believe it...
