Rebound

—Wounding Tale—

/ "Weiss, Velvet and I are just friends—"

"Like hell you are! I know damn well what that sneaking animal is up to!"

"She's not—!"

"Weiss, calm the hell down already!"

Pale-blue eyes glared daggers in all directions. "How can I be calm when that animal molested my girlfriend at the gym yesterday?! And the remarks she made, I swear…"

"I understand your anger but I'd appreciate if you didn't refer to her or us as "animals", Weiss."

"She said that if I hadn't called Ruby that time she'd do something "funny" and be "nasty"! Am I the only one here who sees what's going on?!"

"Nothing happened, Weiss! If you would just—"

The fencer's open palm sharply connected with the sniper's cheek and the room went deathly silent. Cruel, heart-wrenching words left the heiress' mouth, anger holding the reins.

The redhead had left shortly after in a flurry of rose petals. Her sister, eyes red with rage, would've pummelled Weiss if Blake hadn't been there.

At the time, she hadn't seen the error in her outrage. But when Ruby didn't come back and Weiss desperately called her…

"She can't answer right now." She knew that voice. She also knew what the muffled sounds in the background were. "She's a bit tied up at the moment."

Surprise, surprise, Ruby had run back to Velvet.

"You. I should've known." Weiss didn't even bother masking the hate in her voice.

"You delivered her to me," was the response. "I wasn't the one who sought her out." Unmistakable licking noises and a quiet whimpering followed suite. Her heart sank and the void it left was filled with seething white hate. "Blame yourself, Schnee. You pushed her too far, right into my arms."

The tiny gasp was what triggered her. Just that sound alone was on a whole other level than when they had done it. The gasp became louder, growing into a string of short moans and then a litany of pleasured breaths. The sound was…hot.

Despite herself, Weiss couldn't ignore the heat between her legs…

"Did she sound like this when you did her?" The taunt didn't aggravate her nearly as much as it shamefully turned her on. Hearing Ruby like that was tragically enticing. "Did she cum as hard as she is about to now?"

It got to her. Before the fencer was even realizing it, fingers dipped against wet folds, sending sparks up her spine—

"Velvet!"

A quiet moan tore through Weiss' throat and she immediately hung up.

Her teammates had left to search for Ruby. Good. Because she needed to leave, and fast, before she did something she'd regret.

She couldn't stay here. Not now./

It was surprising where you could end up when you were blindly running.

Vale was no stranger to nightclubs, taverns, bars, clubs, and locales of similar sorts, but this bar was peculiar: blue neon lights illuminated the otherwise dark building and so-called music with a heavy base reverberated loudly. Despite this, Weiss liked this place for being one of the few but popular LGBTQ bars.

She had once taken Ruby here. Drinking by the bar, dancing, kissing in a corner…

Just what had happened? Everything had been great between them and in the next the redhead runs off with a Faunus – of all things! – and…

Weiss slammed the glass down, eyes welling up with tears. At least the red wine inhibited most of the pain that threatened to consume her. She was starting to get tipsy…if this kept up, she'd be like her mom.

That nasty, disgusting animal-hybrid! Flirting and touching Ruby as if they were already together, sinking her dirty little paws into someone else's girlfriend! What kind of person does that?! Homewreckers, that's who!

…Granted, she had said some things that couldn't be unsaid. But that snake, Velvet, had done some nasty things!

Before or after you pushed Ruby away?

Weiss forced back the tears and took a swig of the wine. If Velvet hadn't been around, she and Ruby would still be together. They could've worked things out.

…But then, if Velvet hadn't been around, there wouldn't be anything to work out to begin with. It all came down to that Faunus!

…Or did it? Hadn't the brunette stated that she did this because Weiss had treated Ruby poorly?

But that wasn't the fencer's fault! The upperclassman, Cinder, was to blame; she had tried to seduce Ruby, she had instilled that fear in Weiss.

And by being overly protective and paranoid, the heiress had driven away the person she had meant to…

The tears spilled forth without effort. Weiss buried her head in her arms, sobbing loudly, the sound drowned out by the music.

It was over. It had to be.

"Life's got you down, too, huh?"

"…"

"I know the feeling…" The voice was clearly influenced by alcohol so Weiss dismissed it as another drunken patron besides herself, but the woman – no, she sounded young; a girl – continued. "Tried to…to confess to a close friend…d-didn't go so….so w-well…" There was a pause, likely because the girl was drinking. "S-So…Whatsh your story…?"

…

Well, why not? It wasn't as if Yang or Blake seemed to see her side of it all. Yang would stand by her sister and Blake by Velvet's because they were Faunus.

Weiss scoffed, the wine getting to her. She didn't bother looking up. "My girlfriend and I had a falling out. Now she's with someone else."

"Ouch. Shorry to hear that."

Weiss shrugged her shoulders.

"I tried to confess to a close friend…it didn't go so well…"

"I know," Weiss groaned. "You told me."

"Oh. Right." From what she could hear, the girl actually had a cute voice. "Shorry…"

The heiress rolled her eyes. It couldn't hurt to pass the time licking wounds. "So what happened?"

The girl hiccupped. "I…told her how I felt…But she seemed…surprised." Another one. "Uhh…Then she said she was sorry and s-started talking a-about how she l-liked someone else, and…" Her voice fell quiet. She was probably just as wounded as Weiss, whom remained quiet as the girl eventually continued. "…a-and I-…I thought i-it'd be a nice…surprise but…I-…I guess I'll never…n-never…"

Curious. Maybe because of the wine, but Weiss let her arms slide down underneath her, resting her head on the bar and tiled it to the side; the girl looked like to be her age. "Wha-…what s-sort of surprise…?"

She had to be imagining it. Perhaps she had ordered one glass of wine too many, but the fencer swore she saw the girls tongue dart out way too long for being humanly possible, sticking to one of the beer-nuts and slipping back into her mouth.

It shouldn't have turned her on as much as it did, but the thought of that tongue going up her—

What in the name of actual he—

"I can hold m-my b-breath…for up to five minutes, t-too…" the girl slurred, winking at her with a half-empty glass of…whatever alcohol she had ordered in her hand. "Seven if I'm e-eager…"

That was…promising. And the girl was really cute as well. But this was the alcohol talking.

"Heyy…That's a cute face you have…" The girl smiled a stupid smile, hiccupping. "…Wanna help each other forget?"

Then again, the alcohol in her system made some good points.

Smirking and blushing, Weiss got up from her seat, the other girl following suite as the fencer grabbed her by the wrist and lead her to the bathroom.

A/N: Gold Star to the one who can guess who that is.
