Yang was a lot of things. Smart, strong, cool, and not to mention badass. One thing she was not, however, was prepared for what she had just walked in on.

Weiss had been acting particularly strange over the past few weeks, often excusing herself from team lunches and classes to disappear for a while, and come back later like nothing had happened. When she questioned the heiress, she simply responded in her cold manner that she had “family business.” And not respond further. Now, Yang was not the smartest in the team, but she most certainly was not stupid. Random disappearances, shady excuses, she could put two and two together.

The heiress had a boyfriend.

It was the only thing that made sense. Weiss didn’t like anything she had to do for “Family Business”, certainly not enough to obsess over it for weeks. “She probably can’t talk about it because of some political stuff.” Yang muttered to herself, walking her way through the winding halls of Beacon Academy. Weiss had just excused herself halfway through their team lunch, as she had been doing. However, this time Yang had decided to wait a minute or two, and then go looking for the heiress, much to Ruby’s dismay that her team was leaving her. She felt bad for doing this to her little sister, but she was sure Blake would be able to prevent her from going into one of her crazy depressed moods. Hopefully.

As she walked through the corridors she started listing off boys she could name off the top of her head. Cardin? Nah. Him and his team of meatheads wouldn’t have suited the heiress. Jaune? Probably not. He gave up on Weiss for Pyrrha a while ago, I doubt he’d go back on her like that. Neptune? Maybe, I mean he’s been all flirty with her for a while, maybe she finally fell for it. Ohhh, that would be something to talk about. Maybe that cute guy from Velvet’s team. What was his name again? Yatagarasu? Yabadabado?

Yang shook her head, rousing herself from her thoughts as she rounded the last corner to their room. The first step to finding the heiress was to track her down, and Yang had just the tools for that. Tools she called her scroll, Ember Celica, Junior, and Bumblebee. She smirked to herself, thinking about her bike, as she popped open the door to her room to gather her “tools”.

A sharp yelp of surprise as Yang waltzed into the room caused Yang to jump in a surprise of her own. She froze for a moment, eyes locked in a dead stare. Weiss was in their room, specifically her bed, beat red, trying desperately to cover herself up with her covers. But that wasn’t what Yang’s eyes had caught on. No, it wasn’t the embarrassed heiress, but rather the that Weiss had been snuggling with moments ago. A pillow the size of a person. A person sized pillow featuring the likeness of her very own sister Ruby Rose.

The moment of awe passed as dots connected in Yang’s head. Weiss shuddered as she saw the iris’ of her teammate flick from purple to red. Yang’s rage boiled in an instant, as she stomped with blinding speed over to the small girl and yanked the pillow from the bed, Weiss just barely able to hold on to the sheets covering her.

“Schnee, what in dust’s name is this?” Yang screamed, holding the pillow out. The picture of Ruby’s likeness grinning back down at the heiress. Yang recognized the outfit as her sister’s usual pajama wear, making a goofy face by winking and sticking her tongue out.

“I, uh, Yang it’s uh,” Weiss stammered, face far redder then it was moments before as she shifted uncomfortably beneath the covers. What could she tell her? That it was a pillow she cuddled with every day was one custom made of her sister? That she’s been head over heels for the small girl? That she wanted nothing more than to squeeze and hug Ruby for the rest of time?

Yang was not happy with the heiress’ stammered excuse and slammed her free hand down on the bed, eliciting another small yelp from the shaken girl.

“I’ll give you one chance to explain yourself, Schnee. One.” Yang narrowed her eyes, snarling at the smaller form in front of her.

Weiss gulped. It was either die of embarrassment from having to tell Yang or die of punches from not telling her. Actually, she might punch her in both cases. Weiss internally sighed and settled on the lesser of two evils.

“YangIThinkILikeRuby!” She blurted out in one breath, and nearly one syllable.

Yang blinked, glanced at the pillow, back to the frowning heiress, and back to the pillow.

“This is far past ‘like’, you know.”

“Tch.” Weiss, turned her head to the side, breaking the older girl’s gaze.

Yang sighed, pinching her temple with her free hand. Of all the things she expected to confront Weiss about today, owning a pillow with the likeness of her sister on it was definitely not on that list.

“Look, Schnee, we can talk about your sexuality another time, the re-”

“We don’t have to talk about it,” Weiss interrupted, “I already know that I’m into girls.”

“Good for you, but that’s not the point. What I want to know is why THIS” she held out the pillow, “even a thing. Where did you get one, and how many more are there?”

“I-It’s the only one. I had it custom made from one of my personal tailors. Yang, I promise you it’s the only one. Nobody else even knows something of Ruby like this exists.” Weiss confessed.

Yang paused a moment, before she tossed the pillow back onto the bed, and her eyes dimmed from red back to their normal violet hue. Weiss’ look of confusion caused Xiao Long to speak up.

“Look, Schn-” Yang stopped herself, “Weiss. I don’t care if you’re into girls and all that. Hell, I go both ways. But this is my little sister we’re talking about here. If you really feel that way about her, go talk to her. As for how I feel about it, I’m going to need some time to think, but I’ll wait until Ruby tells me herself.” Yang said, turning away from the heiress.

Yang began to walk out of the room, but as she reached the door, she turned her head back to Weiss.

“Oh and one more thing, Ice Queen. If you break her heart, I’m going to break you,” Yang’s voice grew serious, “And there’s no amount of money that will be able to fix what I do to you.” Contrasting the threat, Yang gave a small smile as the door clicked behind her.

The heiress sat there for a few minutes, trying to process what had just happened. She eventually shook herself from her daze, coming to the realization that a relationship with Ruby wouldn’t immediate result in a beating from Yang. It very well might include a few, but not immediately. She smiled to herself as she stood up from the bed, grabbing the pillow of Ruby, and began to walk across the room. Her nerves had gotten the better of her and left her sweating with cold shakes, so she figured she may as well take a shower. “And put this away too, while I’m at it.” She thought. It was just as she crossed the center of the room that the door burst open again.

“Weisssss where’d you go! What’s so important you missed out on all of our super special team lunch meeting!” Ruby entered the room, crying out, only to pause partway into the room, locking her eyes on her teammate. There stood Weiss, stark naked, in the middle of the room, gripping a huge pillow with an embarrassing photo of herself on it. A cat like chuckle came from the hallway behind them as the hand of a familiar fiery girl pulled the door shut behind Ruby.

“O-oh! W-w-we-weiss! U-uhh…” Ruby stammered, her eyes suddenly very interested in the walls of the room. Weiss was frozen in shock, her face and whole body burning bright red from embarrassment as she shoddily covered herself with the pillow which, considering the image on it, was doing more harm than good.

“T-that’s a cool pillow?” Ruby half asked, half exclaimed out of her own embarrassment as no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t stop her eyes from wandering back to the slender girl she was in the room with. “It… uh, it looks a lot like me doesn’t it?”

Weiss felt one last chill down her spine and, as she fainted, heard the sounds of Ruby’s worried gasp and the uproarious laugher of a certain golden haired fighter, coupled with the small snickering of her Faunus teammate from just beyond the closed door. She almost swore she heard Yang yell “You can thank me later!”
