Shocking New Relationship WIP
🕑 Added 2017-10-15 19:24:38 +0000 UTC“Me and Nora are dating.” Weiss repeated herself again. Her arm was around the redhead’s shoulder as Nora pecked her on the cheek, a leg kicked up as her hands rested on the Schnee’s shoulder. The jaws of her teammates were all hung open as they stared at her. The two had been dating for a month now, but their terms of dating weren’t especially overt. Mostly hand holding and being especially warm with the other. Her team had just thought maybe they were good friends until this meeting was called.
“Like, da-" Yang began.
“Yes, dating dating. I know you’re a little shocked by this…” Weiss started. She saw the blonde narrow her eyes, seemingly trying and failing to deny what a good one that was. Weiss felt the thrill of victory when she got no objection. “... But that’s how it is. She asked me out and I couldn’t ig-Nora chance like that.” She said, glancing to Yang once again. Narrower now. That last one was risky…
“But Weiss! I had no idea you liked Nora like that!” Ruby said. “And what about Ren?” She turned to Nora. The orange haired girl hummed, a finger to her lips and her tongue hanging out a bit in thought.
“... Well, Ren and I have been together for SO long, if he wanted to do something then he shoulda done it already!” She reasoned.
“And honestly, is it a surprise that I’d like such a cute girl? Maybe NOW, Jaune will get it through his head that I’m not interested…” She grew quieter as the room looked at her. Crap. Nora’s gaze told her she was riding a thin line.
“Yep! He’s totally off your back!” Nora said loudly. “He doesn’t want his legs broken!” She said. “Now, didn’t you promise me a date~?” She asked. Weiss nodded.
“Right! We were going for a walk in the park.” She said.
“A walk sounds nice.” Blake said, marking her place in the book. She closed it. “Mind if we come?” She asked. She shared her teammate’s scepticism about this new relationship, but she’d seen odder things happen. She’d just gotten some letters from an old friend back in Menagerie, something she never would have thought would happen.
“I do.” Weiss said. “Nora?”
“Jaune might get some company with his cast~!” She chimed entirely too cheerfully. RBY all gulped, sharing nervous glances to eat other. Weiss used the opportunity to slip out with Nora, letting out a sigh of relief.
“That was entirely too close.” She said. Her eyes rose again to meet Ren’s, a look of seriousness in his hues. She jumped a bit. “Wait, when did you-?” She trailed off. The ninja leaned in and whispered in her ear, what Weiss expected to be something protective about not hurting Nora.
“... Don’t get hurt. Especially don’t need to be taken care of. Don’t let her nurse you.” He simply said ominously before walking away. That only left Weiss even more confused.
“Sheesh. I wonder what THAT was about!” Nora said. Weiss grabbed her by the hand and began walking, hoping not to run into another of their friends. “Honestly, if anyone had let it slip, I thought it’d have been me!” She chuckled.
“Yeah, I was sloppy.” Weiss said. She had mentally scolded herself already. Truth be told, Nora was a beauty and she surprisingly enjoyed her companionship, but they weren’t at a point of dating yet. And as far as she could tell, the feeling was mutual.
In what may have been the first time the two had been alone together since they had met, they recently met up at the most unlikely of places. A shooting range. Weiss went every once in a while to make sure her dust spells always hit point while Nora liked to make targets go boom. The two had struck up conversation in between explosions and learned quite a bit about eat other.
Nora, surprisingly, prefered waffles to pancakes, but doesn’t want to correct Ren. Weiss likes any cake made by her cake butler. Weiss learned she was indeed the only person to have had a cake butler. Nora learned that Weiss sang and even convinced her to call up an old agent for a place in a charity event coming up. Lessons were learned by all. It wasn’t until the conversation got even more personal that they made true progress though.
Weiss had long since gotten tired of Jaune’s advances. Nothing she said seemed to get through to him. She wasn’t even sure if she liked guys like that, and he certainly wasn’t her first pick of them. Nora had likely the opposite problem. She was well aware she liked both sides of the coin, and had been crushing on Ren for a while. But his lack of advances had gotten them nowhere, to speak nothing of her own advances. That’s where Weiss got an idea.
Nora asked Weiss out. Jaune got off her back and Ren would get jealous! Jaune would get that she liked women and Ren would get that he could lose Nora to someone else. It was fool-proof, perfect even! That is, until the plan had been put into action. They had gone to team JNPR first with their relatively new relationship, apparently needing to drive home that the two were seeing each other. Pyrrha, outside of their calculations, had congratulated them and wished them the best. Her acceptance was apparently contagious. Ren was fine with it, though Jaune was less so.
“O-Oh! Hey Weiss-! Nora-!” He mumbled. Speak of the devil…
“Hello Jaune.” Weiss said, sighing a bit. “We’re sort of on our way to a date, so…” She said.
“Oh, of course! I just mean, I always figured you were too busy for relationships or something, but I guess that isn’t really the case…” He scratched the side of his head. Ugh. She said yes specifically to get away from this situation.
“No. I like girl, Jaune.” She said. Clenching her teeth a bit, she forced the rest out. “It wasn’t anything personal.” She said, her forced grin twitching a bit. Nora giggled, while Jaune seemes to choose to believe her.
“Thanks Weiss… And sorry for bugging you all the time.” He said. Just leave. “I mean, I didn’t really know if you did or didn’t-" Jaune, why. “-but anyway…” He mumbled. Weiss screamed internally. “I figured since you guys are together and stuff, you might like this?” He asked. Weiss mentally cursed Jaune until she heard his last bit. She actually began paying attention to him again to see him holding out two tickets. Weiss took them and looked at them. Concert tickets.
“Jaune, what are these?” She asked.
“Tickets to this concert coming up! I saved up for a while to invite you, but…” Here, he looked at Nora. “Well, I want you to have them. Maybe you two can still have some fun?” He suggested. Weiss blinked.
“... Thank you Jaune.” She said. She looked closer at the tickets as a drop of sweat rolled down the back of her head. “But I can’t accept these. You should go with Pyrrha, I’m sure she’d love to go.” She handed them back. Jaune sighed.
“Message received…” He mumbled.
“No Jaune, I’m IN that concert. I physically can’t attend it.” She said. He blinked and looked closer.
“... Oh! Okay, sorry! But still, Nora should go so she can see you!” He said. Weiss had to admit, she was a bit touched. As she moved to deny it, seeing as how she could get her girlfriend free tickets, or even pay if she had to considering she was rich, Nora snatched a ticket from his hand.
“We~ accept! I’ll be there!” She saluted. Jaune smiled and nodded. “Thanks Jauney boy~!” She giggled.
“No problem guys. Just wanted you guys to be happy.” He said. He waved and walked around them to his team’s dorm room. Weiss took the opportunity once again to begin their journey anew.
“You know I could get you front row seats, right?” She asked. Nora nodded.
“He just wanted to be nice! I know he’s been planning this for a while! He wasn’t gonna stop til one of us took the tickets!” She said. Weiss hummed with a smile as they successfully left the building. They continued walking, hand in hand, as they followed the path. Beacon had a wonderful park inside for students to do homework, photography, or even just relax. All the best for the future protectors of the world.
“Well, I’m buying the seat next to the other one so Pyrrha can go. And the one next to you so… Ren can go.” Weiss found it surprisingly difficult to say. It was odd. The thought of her girlfriend spending relative alone time Ren was… unsettling.
“Only if you want to!” Nora said, wrapping her arms around Weiss’ arm. Again, a surprise. Usually, Nora would be all too excited for more time with Ren.
