The silence around Ruby was rare. Even the sound of her eating and the general buzz of vale was nothing but a whisper on the wind. All of her focus was on whatever noise would come out of Ruby's mouth next. Her friend-crush-partner's lip twitched upward into a sly smirk that was far to Yang like for Weiss to be happy about it. Her silver eyes danced with glee and amusement in equal amounts.

She hated it when Ruby looked at her in that tone of voice.

"Why? Do you?" Ruby asked like it was the simplest thing in the world to answer.

It wasn't like she had spent countless hours up at night staring at the mattress trying to figure out why the hell she was in love with Ruby. Nope, she did not lose any sleep at all over this whole ordeal. The bags under her eyes were a fashion choice. "Fine, you know what never mind."

"Aww come on Weiss," Ruby leaned on the table, looking like a puppy that knew full well how cute it was. "Don't be like that we're so close!"

"Close to what exactly?" Weiss folded her arms and legs, arching a single eyebrow at Ruby. She already gave too much, she was not going to budge another inch until she got something. A yes would be fantastic. But if this was a joke, she was going back to Atlas, deleting them off her scroll and never looking back.

Ruby's smile didn't falter as the girl slid across the table to reach Weiss's hands. her hands were soft in places, but calloused in others, especially her always itchy trigger finger. "Coming out of the closet."

Weiss felt her eyes bulge and her frustration gave way to unadulterated joy. "Are you saying you're gay?"

"As a rainbow."

"So, do you have a crush on me?" Weiss raised an eyebrow feeling a smile twitch onto her lips. Even without Ruby's words, it was easy to tell. The girl stuck to her like peanut butter to bread, an annoying stain that would never come out of a white shirt. In one way or another, she was stuck with Ruby for a long time. "Or are you only interested because you somehow found out that I like girls now?"

"Well, you did make your staring a Pyrrha obvious." Ruby smiled worming her legs off the table so that she sat on it, staring down at Weiss. Crap! Pyrrha knew? Did Blake? Did, wait, shit. No doubt the whole school knew. So much for being subtle. "But really I found out that night when we shared a bed, you sleep talk by the way."

"What did I say?" She felt like a marionette and Ruby was her puppeteer, pulling her strings as the girl maneuvered her way into her lap, wrapping Weiss's arm around her belly.

"I don't care what you say, dad!" Ruby put on her best Weiss voice which was really spot on if at least slightly too snooty. "Ruby is my girlfriend and I love her!"

Weiss felt the color drain from her face and she buried her head into to Ruby's shoulder. She had to hide and never be seen again. But where? "How many people heard?"

"Everyone but Jaune and Pyrrha, Nora told them though."

"Fuck." fuck fuck fuckity fuck fuck. "How did you know I wasn't just having a dream?"

"Well, you were, but you were also trying to kiss me in your sleep, saying stuff about 'it's not like I love you or anything I just really want to kiss you.' And 'I hate you the least out of everybody' which according to blake is tsundere for I love you." Ruby rested her cheek on top of Weiss's head rubbing small circles on her back.

"Please just end the torture," Weiss moaned into Ruby's shirt. She could feel the blush on her face, she must be as red as Pyrrha's hair. Why didn't they say anything? Why were they all on Ruby's side? Where was her emotional backup?

Ruby hummed, nuzzling her like a cat. They must be quite the sight right now, and all eyes were on the two chicks hugging in the corner of the ice cream store. "Well, considering you're officially my girlfriend your torment has only just begun."

"Girlfriend!" Weiss stuttered and shrieked at the same time, her voice unsteady and breaking like Ruby's did when she was excited. Her heart was racing and if possible she felt her face become even redder when she looked into Ruby's eyes. "I didn't agree to that, you dolt!"

"Aww, come on Weiss." Being face to face with Ruby was a bad idea a very very bad idea. Somehow that adorable face that she had fallen for was now more provocative. She had fallen right into Ruby's trap, she no longer had any control over this. "I like you, you like me, so let's give this a chance? Please?"

Ruby's lips were so close, it wouldn't take any effort to just lean in and see what they felt like. Holy crap, Nora really did hit her so hard her sexuality did a one-eighty. And she was way okay with this. With the smallest nod, Ruby attacked her, hands around the neck, lip to lip action.

It was like she was being attacked by the smallest most adorable Grimm in the world that could only kiss her to death. She kissed her with an almost desperate frenzy, in that neither one of them knew what they were doing. She couldn't breathe and Ruby kept trying to do something with her tongue.

But it was magical in so many ways.

"You're so bad at kissing." Weiss laughed as they pulled away, the blush was gone, nothing more that a distant memory.

"Me? I'll have you know I'm a natural kisser!" Ruby boasted leaning in for a second kiss, this one shorter and twice as sweet.

"Really and who says that?"

"You," Ruby tapped their noses together letting out another laugh. "I mean come on, that wasn't bad for my first kiss."

Weiss smiled feeling for the first time like she wasn't going to be setting a baldness trend by tearing out her hair. "I suppose I can give it adequate marks. Now can you get off me? My leg is falling asleep."

"Fine," Ruby let out a pout, then like a puppy stopped, remembering that she had Ice cream and bounced over to finish it. "What's next for our date?"

"Oh, I didn't know this was a date," She smiled taking one last bite of her ice cream. It had reached the perfect slightly melted ratio and slid right into her mouth. "As much as I'd love to continue it, we do have class tomorrow so we really should get back."

"Aww, you're no fun." Somehow she managed to pout and smile at the same time. She licked a bit of ice cream from the corner of her mouth. "Can we at least hold hands on the way back?"

"I suppose."

"Hey, Weiss?"

"Yea?"

"I'm really happy that you're my girlfriend now."

"Me to Ruby me too."

XXXX

It was impossible not to smile as she stared up at the frame of Ruby's bed. This was nice, no drama, no heartache, just the boring story of how two people fell in love. It was nice to have something so easy, wasn't it. At least until she told her family about this. And the whole school stopped focusing on the Arkos development long enough to realize that there was a new lesbian couple on campus.

"Weiss!" Ruby whispered leaning her head over from the top bunk. "Are you asleep?"

"No,"

"Cool." Ruby vanished back up top, only for her feet, then the rest of her, to appear dressed in her pajamas. She landed on Weiss's bed and began to crawl over to her.

"What are you doing?" Despite herself, she scooted over allowing Ruby under the covers.

"I want to cuddle with my girlfriend is that so wrong?" Ruby's smile shined like the north star as the girl latched onto her like an adorable parasite.

"You're so pushy, but fine, come here." Weiss clung to Ruby like she was a body pillow, giving her new girlfriend a small kiss.

"Besides this way you get to grope my boobies again."

Not entirely untrue.

AN: Hey look! ending! Not as long as I would have liked but I think this is a good ending, and it fits with the title of the fic about how being blunt can pay off? (I'm pulling that out of my ass) Anyways! Hope you enjoy this!
