Hey everyone. It's been awhile since I've done a RWBY story and I thought it was about time to come back with a new one. I've had this one in mind for a while and I hope you enjoy.

Disclaimer: I do not own RWBY or any of the characters, they are owned by Rooster Teeth.

"Weiss, just tell me what's wrong." Ruby plead.

Ruby had been begging her best friend to tell her about what was troubling her.

"I already told you, I'm fine." Weiss said.

Ruby pouted, still not believing a word she told her.

About a month ago, Weiss had begun to act differently towards Ruby.

Her once strict attitude had diminished by a large amount.

Now she had just seemed distant and uninterested.

However, for Weiss, that was far from the truth.

Unknown to Ruby, as well as everyone else, Weiss' feelings for Ruby had developed, from those of a simple friendship, to care, compassion and most of all, love.

Weiss had tried to deny it, trying hard to put her focus back on Ruby's faults, but no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't.

Weiss was always off daydreaming, which always led to her thinking about Ruby and unfortunately for her, Ruby had caught on.

So, Weiss did the only things she could do, distance herself.

But Ruby wouldn't let this go easily, she was determined to find out why Weiss was being colder than usual.

Yang and Blake entered the room, to see Ruby staring at Weiss and Weiss ignoring her.

"Is this still going on?" Yang complained.

"Yes, until Weiss finally tells me the truth." Ruby said, in determination.

"Never going to happen, because there's nothing to tell." Weiss said.

"Come on you two, it's winter break." Yang made a pun.

Weiss just glared at her while Ruby and Blake groaned.

"The point is, you two should just stop whatever this is and start enjoying yourselves." Yang suggested.

"I can't, not while my best friend is worried about something." Ruby told them.

"Ruby, enough!" Weiss snapped at her.

"What will it take to get you to stop?" Weiss asked.

"Just tell me what's going on with you." Ruby told her.

"Nothing." Weiss said.

Ruby started to grow frustrated, a crazy idea coming to mind.

"Fine, then until you tell me I'll…stand outside until you do." Ruby said.

"What, you'll stand outside the room?" Weiss said, with a little laugh.

"No, I'll stand out in the cold." Ruby said, pointing outside.

"Ruby, you can't do that, the snow is already almost a foot deep, plus it's freezing." Yang pointed out.

"I don't care, I'll wait out there all through break if I have to." Ruby said.

"You'll wait out there for the whole break?" Yang questioned.

"Yes." Ruby said, proudly.

"So, no sledding?" Yang asked.

"No sledding." Ruby said.

"No snowball fights?" Yang asked.

"No snowball fights." Ruby said.

"No cookies?" Yang asked.

Ruby shuddered, forgetting about the fresh baked cookies they made every year.

Ruby hesitated, but was willing to sacrifice for the greater good.

"No cookies." Ruby said, barely getting the words out.

"Weiss, she seems serious, are you sure you don't want to tell her anything?" Yang asked.

Weiss looked over at Ruby, her feelings starting to get to her again.

But as she did before, she pushed those feelings away.

"Good luck." Weiss said, with a hint of sarcasm in her voice.

Ruby stormed out of the room and went outside, standing by a tree.

"Weiss, why would you do that?!" Yang shouted at her.

"Relax, knowing her, she'll probably give up by tonight and come back in, bake a batch of those cookies and she'll give up in five minutes." Weiss told her.

Yang sighed before her eyes went red, shooting a glare towards Weiss.

"For her sake and yours, you better hope so." Yang threatened.

Weiss just shrugged it off and went back to her studies.

Yang took a seat on her bed to relax while Blake started to reread one of her books.

Meanwhile, while they were up in the room, Ruby stood next to the tree, already shivering.

"So cold." Ruby thought.

Ruby wrapped her cloak around her, hoping it would help.

She looked up at the window, hoping soon that Weiss would tell her the truth, that she could come back inside and for things to be normal again.

"Weiss, I don't know what's going on with you, but I promise whatever it is, I'll help you any way I can." Ruby vowed.

So it began, Ruby's long wait through the cold of winter.

The snow fell softly to the ground as Ruby began to sing to herself.
