Hello! Sorry for the wait!

It was Saturday. Ruby woke up, feeling the familiar presence of still sleeping Weiss curled into her body. She flexed her arm in such a way that she was able to reach her phone, to check the time. Eight. Well, she won't wake for another hour, might as well think of something.

She looked down on the sleeping figure that was nuzzling her body and found out how cute exactly Weiss was while asleep. Her long hair was flowing over her shoulders and back, embracing her perfect petite figure and making it look even prettier. Her mouth was slightly open and she was letting out a little air out of it instead of the nose. Somehow she managed to get a strand of hair right in front of her mouth and it rose and fell with every breath she took. Her slender right arm was pressed close to her, touching Ruby's abdomen as well, while her left hand rested on Ruby's side.

In that moment, Ruby had an idea that Weiss might loudly object to if she was awake, so she captured the moment instantly. A silent shutter sound later and Ruby had a new phone background. She smiled to herself and moved her head so she could kiss the sleeping girl's forehead.

"Sorry, Weiss," Ruby whispered.

Then Ruby started thinking of stuff she wanted to do that day. She had to study, obviously, so at least the morning and a little of the afternoon would be occupied by that. It was what to do after the two girls were done studying. Maybe I could take her out for a nice date, show her around the town. Oh, maybe even show her that spot… Yes, we'll do that. Whether she agrees or not, Ruby thought with a smile on her face.

She kept thinking exactly how to make the date work the way she wanted it to. She lost herself in thoughts, thinking over every minute detail, hoping the date would be as perfect as possible. When she finally thought of everything, she looked back down at her sleeping girlfriend, but all she found was a pair of sky blue eyes looking at her rather sleepily.

"Hey, snowflake."

"Morning, Ruby." The two shared a short kiss.

"How long have you been awake and why didn't you say anything?"

Weiss smiled and in turn made a face so cute that Ruby could barely hold back a squeal. "Well, about five minutes, I think? And I didn't dare disturb you, since you looked so deep in thought. And you're so beautiful when you're looking in the distance and thinking." Without waiting for a response, Weiss lifted herself just enough to easily kiss Ruby's neck. This made Ruby let out a short breath.

"Let's not go too far, okay?", Ruby asked.

"Fine," Weiss responded with a faked sad voice. "What were you thinking about, anyway?"

"I was thinking of what to do today."

"We have to study, dolt."

"After that. What to do after that."

Weiss just nuzzled into Ruby's neck again. "I'll be happy with anything."

Ruby embraced Weiss again and kissed her scalp. "Come on, sleepyhead. We have a lot of studying to do." Weiss grumbled at the sentence and when Ruby let go of her to rise, she let out a whimper. Ruby offered her a hand and helped her rise too. Then Ruby ran to the bathroom.

Weiss felt like dropping dead. She was studying since the morning and it was already five PM. The outside started getting dark. It was not that she wasn't a diligent student or that she liked slacking off, but that didn't mean she liked studying. She looked to her side and there was Ruby, intently reading her notes and scribbling something into the notebook next to her from time to time. Then she lifted her gaze and their eyes met. Ruby gave Weiss a sweet smile.

"What is it, snowflake? Are you bored?" Weiss nodded. "Well. It's late enough. Come on, dress into something nicer, we're going to see a movie and then I'll show you a special spot somewhere in the town."

Weiss got instantly happier. She quickly took some of her prettier dresses out of the wardrobe and then jumped into the bathroom. She thought she didn't take too long with changing her clothes, but when she got back to the room, Ruby was already waiting, fully prepared.

"How can you change clothes so quickly?"

"I don't mess around, snowflake," Ruby winked. "I simply throw my clothes off and put new on. No time for fixing every minute detail like a wrinkle in the fabric. Anyway," she stuck out her arm, "shall we?"

Weiss blushed slightly and took Ruby by the arm. The trip to the cinema took fifteen minutes only. Oddly enough, there were fewer people on the road than Weiss expected. Ruby looked at the list of movies that were shown. She selected one of them and bought the tickets. Then the two went to the room where the movie was shown and got in. There were quite a lot of people there, but to Weiss's surprise, the last two rows were empty. Weiss thought she saw Ruby smirk before she gently pulled her upwards.

By the time the movie started, only three more people arrived, and they went to the opposite side of the room. Weiss put her head on Ruby's shoulder and held her hand. The movie started and Weiss felt a gentle hand start caressing her right arm. She brought Ruby's other hand to her mouth and gently kissed it. She got lost in the movie after that, and was only brought from her trance when she felt her head being lifted and turned. She looked away from the screen and met loving grey eyes in the flickering light the screen emitted. She noticed the wicked glint in Ruby's eyes that was accompanying the love. Without being prompted, Weiss's mouth opened and the two girls intertwined their lips in a fit of passion that bordered on public indecency.

Neither girl paid much attention to the movie afterwards, they spent most of the time looking at each other with burning passion in their eyes or kissing. The movie went on for another hour and neither of the girls noticed that a few people stopped watching the movie and instead watched the duo making out passionately in the back row, even getting a little too comfortable for public. It took a slightly bemused cough right next to their ears to break the two lovebirds apart. When Weiss saw half the room watching them, she couldn't help but blush as red as Ruby's namesake and her eyes instantly fell to the floor in shame.

Ruby blushed, though she didn't take it as badly as Weiss. She even managed to look around the room sheepishly, seeing the kind and not so kind looks from the people.

"Can't believe the nerve of some people. To do stuff like that in public, in front of kids…", Ruby heard one woman say. The words made her angry. Who brings children to see a rated R movie? And then I'm the bad girl here?

"Oh, shut it, Mary, if anyone brings kids to a movie like this, they're to blame and nobody else," another woman said, obviously in reply to what the other woman had to say. Thank you for saying what I meant, random woman.

"Isn't young love a precious thing?", Ruby heard someone else say. She smiled.

"Can't believe the nerve of these freaks…", someone else said, which made Ruby stand up, furious.

"Who said that?" Ruby's voice was calm, but her eyes spoke so much more about her true feelings. "Who's a freak here? Care to come out of the anonymity, asshole?"

She waited for a moment. "Thought so. Coward! At least I have the guts to stand by my words. You called the two of us freaks? Come out and make me see why you're not a freak. Or are you too scared?"

As there still wasn't an answer, Ruby got even more infuriated. "If there's one thing I hate in this world, it's cowards like you. All brave and shit while hidden in anonymity, but you lose all the bravery once someone says something back to you, do you? I'm ashamed I have to share this world with cowards like you. Come out and show me why I'm a freak and you aren't. Or did you forget your balls at home, if you ever had them?"

"ENOUGH!" The crowd slightly parted, only as much as the rows allowed, but enough for the person to emerge. It was a boy of average height, about three inches taller than Ruby. He had a light green Mohawk and wore a green sleeveless hoodie and dark gray pants. The boy was quite muscular and looked just a little like a giant next to Ruby, but she kept the unbroken eye contact nonetheless. "There. Now you see who called you a freak. Happy?"

Ruby had a slight smirk on her face. "Glad you grew a pair. I'll just tell you now: you won't insult me without inciting a response."

The boy huffed. "It's not an insult, it's the truth."

Ruby's facial expression darkened visibly and some very dangerous thoughts popped into her head. She started sizing the boy up, looking for a place to strike to induce as much damage as possible. Once I'm done with you you'll wish you weren't born, I swear.

She responded with as calm a voice as possible. "Pray tell, how exactly are we freaks?"

"Easy," he responded. "One of you isn't a boy."

"Sound logic." The bile in Ruby's voice was more than apparent. "And why exactly does this make us freaks?"

Another snort, followed by a snicker. "It's not natural for two girls to like each other."

"Oh, right, I forgot about that. Tell me one thing, though: if I were to check your computer, would I find lesbian porn there?"

The boy's eyes looked down for just a moment, which was enough for Ruby to know the answer without him telling it. "Figured that much. I presume you also wouldn't mind if two girls were pleasuring each other for you specifically?" His expression turned into an angry one as he was losing his cool. Ruby snickered. "And then you have the nerve to call me a freak… Come on, Weiss, let's go." She grabbed her hand, gave her another passionate kiss before attempting to walk out the room. An angry voice stopped her, though.

"Hold it right there, freak!" Just as I thought. Ruby turned around.

"Yes?"

"You aren't insulting me and getting away with it!"

"Oh?" Ruby put on a face that expressed ignorance. "How did I insult you? I thought truth wasn't an insult."

That seemed to fully blow the lid of his head. "You'll pay for this now!"

Ruby rolled her eyes. "Do you really want to hit a girl? Honestly, I'm seriously questioning who the freak is here."

The boy said no further words but instead jumped towards Ruby with intent of manhandling her. His hands shot up to grab Ruby by the throat, and Ruby was momentarily surprised at the speed with which the boy handled himself. He actually managed to get a hold of her throat, causing Ruby to wince in pain from the sudden impact. It seemed like the boy was completely satisfied by choking her as he made no other move. Weiss stifled a scream, in that moment forgetting everything Ruby taught her about self-defense.

Weiss was panicking at the sight of this anonymous bigot choking her girlfriend and seeing said girlfriend struggle to breathe as the boy didn't seem to slow down.

It felt like an eternity to Weiss but the boy suddenly threw Ruby to a wall, exposing his back to the white-haired girl. In that moment, she noticed that he was completely open for an attack from behind. As dishonest as attacks from the back were, it seemed like the only chance Weiss had of overpowering the enemy.

She put all her strength into the kick, shut her eyes and let go, hoping the kick would land on the intended target.

A girlish squeal confirmed the hit and it was followed by a noise of someone dropping to the floor, screaming and kicking while another person struggled to regain breathing capabilities.

Weiss opened her eyes and what she saw was the boy cupping his groin and screaming in agony while lying on the floor, and close to him, Ruby was kneeling and struggled with breathing. Weiss only spared one final look at the boy – even contemplating kicking him again for good measure, but decided against it – and helped Ruby stand before throwing one of the girl's arms over her own shoulder before leaving the room, half-carrying a still stunned Ruby.

Once outside the cinema, Ruby seemed to finally come back to her senses and she started breathing normally again. The first action that followed that was squeezing the white-haired aristocrat close to herself.

"Thank you so much," she breathed out and Weiss blushed a little at that. The thought of being Ruby's saviour felt insanely good to her. A kiss to her forehead and the duo was separated again. "I owe you one."

"Don't… Overthink it. I did what you'd do."

"Weiss, you do realize you just saved my life, right? I most definitely owe you one."

"I…" Weiss didn't know what to say for a moment. "Don't want to think about it. I took way too long to help you. I-If you insist on owing me one, then… Just take me to the spot you told me about earlier."

Ruby took a breath and spoke. "I was going to take you there anyway. A simple bully couldn't change my plan. So, snowflake, how about we go there before that asshole comes to his senses?" She held out a hand for Weiss to grab and the other girl happily obliged, taking the offered hand and kissing it gently before starting to walk.

Weiss followed Ruby as the two girls walked towards the edge of the town. The white-haired girl thought that was weird, considering Ruby told her that the spot was in the city. She voiced her concern.

"Well, it's technically still the city," was Ruby's answer. "It's just that it's on the outskirts so it doesn't really look like the city. That's the main reason that spot is so special to me."

A few more minutes of walking and the duo reached some kind of a staircase embedded in the small hill. Ruby stopped for a moment to take a deep breath. Weiss didn't know what to make of it.

"It's been a while since I've last been there. I hope it's still the same." With those words, Ruby restarted the walk.

They took it slowly, but still it seemed like the ascent was much faster than it really was. When they finally reached the top, Ruby sighed happily. "Ahh, it's still there. Wonderful!"

Weiss soon noticed the reason for her girlfriend's happiness: a bench. She first thought that Ruby liked the bench since it served as a resting spot after the ascent, but as she sat down on it next to Ruby, she noticed that it overlooks the city, giving her a full view of the rainbow colours of the city at night. And as cliché as it sounded, the city looked like she could pick up each individual building and place it somewhere else.

"Ruby," she managed to say after a minute of staring in awe, "it's… Beautiful."

"I used to come here once every few days," Ruby started. "To unwind, to forget about my worries, to come to terms with myself and my sexuality…" She stared in the distance, stopping the speech.

"Wait a minute," Weiss noticed something was off. "I thought you said you never had a problem with your sexuality."

"Did you honestly believe that? Of course I had a problem with it at first. Back when I met you I told you it was never an issue because I wanted to cheer you up. I have never seen a person so down in my life than you that day. So I lied about this one thing. For that I sincerely apologize."

"Never mind about an apology," Weiss said, a bit snappily. "I understand why you did what you did. Just tell me about it, please."

Ruby took a deep breath before speaking again. "I was thirteen, I think. I have noticed that I was watching girls more than boys, which was kind of weird to me as I was going to a co-ed school, so it wasn't like I had to look at the girls. And of course I thought something was wrong with me. So I'd come here, to cry my heart out at the disappointment that I felt I was. Not to myself, but to my family. I know now that isn't the case. But back then it was much more complicated.

Now, of course I wasn't treated as badly as you about it, and that was most likely the main reason I came to terms with it so quickly. I still remember," Ruby looked away in the distance again, "I came here one day, but I didn't cry. I sat down here, with loud music blasting in my earphones, and looked at the city. I noticed all the different colours that it emits at night. That's when I realized that just as there are different colours, there are also different sexualities. I went home, smiling all the way. I told dad I was gay and he was surprised, of course. I mean, I did practically barge in the house, screaming at the top of my lungs 'Dad, I am gay!'", she started laughing.

"Ever since then, whenever I got up here, I was always happy. This spot was the one that never failed to cheer me up, no matter how bad a day I was having. My first breakup? I forgot about it the moment I got here. All the other bad stuff that happened? Same thing. This place had a therapeutic effect on me. The last time I was here before today was the night you were taken to the hospital. By the time I stopped crying and worrying, it was way past midnight."

At those words, Ruby looked at Weiss and the white-haired girl noticed tears welling up in her girlfriend's eyes. "I guess what I wanted to say is that I've never been as upset as that day. That's when I realized I really, really love you more than anything. I love you so much that not even this place was able to cheer me up immediately when you were hurt."

The duo hugged, both at the verge of tears, Ruby from the memories and Weiss from the emotion behind the words that were said. As the tears subsided from Weiss's eyes, the girls let go and Weiss looked straight into Ruby's eyes.

"Ruby, I have to tell you something too." Ruby just nodded, giving Weiss the signal to continue.

"When I met you, I was a mess. Sure, Cardin being a prick didn't help matters, but I was so nervous even before I bumped into him. The images of the camp were still fresh in my mind, as were the fainting and phantom bruises on my body. I don't know what would happen to me if I didn't meet you. If you didn't barge in at the exact moment you did, Cardin would have overpowered me and I'd feel so disgusting… Who knows, I probably wouldn't be alive anymore. But, thanks to you, I am. And thanks to you, I'm having the time of my life right now, free of my own family's prejudice, free to do what I want. All because of you, Ruby. And showing me this spot has only cemented the way I feel about you. I don't ever want to be separated from you. It's a classic romantic movie line, but you really are my life. Thank you for being the impulsive girl that broke me out of my shell, that made me come to terms with myself. That made me want to stay alive."

Ruby looked at Weiss, tears falling from her eyes for the whole confession. When Weiss stopped talking, Ruby jumped on her, buried her face in the other girl's neck and started crying into it. Weiss was battling and trying not to cry herself and it was working quite well for her. She pressed Ruby into her body, waiting for her to stop crying.

When that happened, Ruby still didn't move away, but instead she remained in her position, inhaling the scent of Weiss's perfume that was mixed with the smell of tears. She then gently kissed her girlfriend's neck, the taste tainted by the salty residue that her eyes were pouring not a minute ago.

Then she finally broke away. "I guess this place is special to both of us now," she breathed out. Weiss let out a small giggle.

"I'll never forget this day, that's for sure."

The two girls then each put an arm around the other's shoulders, pressed their heads together and watched as the city lights below them started flickering out one at a time as the time approached the small hours of day.

After a while, Ruby noticed that Weiss wasn't moving anymore. She shifted her head just enough to notice her closed eyes and calm chest movement that indicated that the girl was, in fact, asleep. Ruby smiled and gently pressed Weiss's nose together using her thumb and point finger. It didn't take long before the aristocrat opened her mouth to breathe, at which point Ruby decided to do something wicked. Namely, she inserted two fingers into her girlfriend's open mouth. Much to her surprise, Weiss didn't bite, but rather gently closed her mouth around the digits and started sucking on them, oddly arousing Ruby.

It was not until Weiss added the tongue that Ruby decided that enough is enough. If she kept the act up, she'd have to end up masturbating in a public space, that's how aroused she was getting. Not that it'd be a bad thing… I've always wanted to at least try something more… Public. Ruby then remembered that maybe it wasn't in Weiss's intention, so she decided to quit it. She gently removed the digits from the white-haired girl's mouth, dried them on her dress and then gently shook the sleeping girl.

Weiss then started stirring, slightly groaning, then shivering at the feel of a slight breeze on her that reminded her that she wasn't in the dorm bed. She looked around, slightly frightened until she noticed Ruby's dress.

"R-Ruby? How long w-was I out?"

The girl in question scratched the back of her head. "I don't know, a few minutes, maybe? Come on, let's go back to the dorm."

The two girls reached home without much problems, all the happenings of the night still very vivid in their minds, but only the happy parts.

At the dorm, Ruby gave Weiss the right of way to the bathroom. As she was waiting for her girlfriend to come out of the shower, she was thinking about how aroused she got before when she got her fingers sucked and licked by the unconscious Weiss.

I will have to ask her one day, she decided. If she doesn't want to try it, I'll just wait until she decides to try. If she never decides to try it, fine with me.

As she was thinking, Weiss came back into the room and noticed Ruby's stare into nothing. "Something wrong, rosebud?"

Ruby was brought out of her trance by those words. "Ah, no. Just thinking about some stuff." She rose from the bed and gave Weiss a kiss on the cheek before replacing her in the bathroom. She quickly washed herself, then dressed into her sleepwear and joined her girlfriend on her bed. The two girls positioned themselves so they were facing each other and looked each other in the eyes for a while.

Ruby was the one to break the silence first. "I love you," she said before shutting her eyes and diving in for a good night kiss.

When they parted, Weiss replied. "I love you too. Good night, rosebud."

"Good night, snowflake." Ruby then pressed her girlfriend tighter into her embrace before letting out an accomplished sigh.

As always, reviews are always appreciated. Thank you to everyone who followed/favourited this, it means a lot. Until next time!
