Where Fate Leads Us

Chapter 37 (Remake)

"Yeah, Blake and Yang are probably waiting for us to take this back. Hehe, byeee!" The two girls left the team speechless, all four chowing down on the desserts but still rethinking everything mentioned.

Meanwhile both Weiss and Ruby took their time, eventually making their to a park in silence.

"Me and Blake came here when she was drunk haha, what a coincidence." Ruby nervously giggled as she attempted to break the awkwardness, sitting herself on the same bench.

"Ruby." Weiss sat, faced straight ahead, with a serious but hurt expression on her pale face.

"Ah, y-yes?" The little red stuttered, blurred by the sudden change of mood.

"Is it not me anymore?" The ice-like princess frowned, hiding herself and facing further away from Ruby, awaiting a confirmation.

"Pardon?"

"Is it Blake now." The girl's voice shook and cracked at the last word before her eyes watered. She tucked her hair behind her ear.

Ruby was completely bewildered, "W-what do you mean?"

"RUBY!" The girl yelled, clenching her teeth tight.

"I'm not lying when I say I don't know what's going on Weissy, please. Just explain."

The white-haired turned to look the red in the eyes, and her head fell to her chest, "So many times Ruby... So many times..." Ruby squeezed her close and pat her head. "You and Blake... Outside dorms, pub, together in one bed. Why?" Weiss couldn't hold back anymore, she cried and cried for minutes on end.

"Princess... it was nothing like that." The girl sighed, and Weiss sat up with red bloodshot eyes. "The pub, Blake needed someone and it just so happened I was there." The girl continued, "Sleeping-"

"Sleeping, what else?"

"Ah....haha, I don't have much of an excuse. I was just exhausted?"

"Hmph, sure. Well, outside dorms?"

"Hehe~" Ruby rested her arms on the back of the bench, "We were discussing Blake, when she saved me from the wrath of the treacherous beast on the first day!" The red laughed and looked back over to a pouting child.

"You're so mean." Weiss punched the girl on the shoulder, eventually wiping her eyes and noticing the huge wet spot by Ruby's chest.

"You gonna help me clean it~?"

"Shut up, I'm still upset, you dunce." The white-haired girl stood, "Listen, I'm sorry. I'm still jumbled and about us-"

"I'll be here, waiting." She paused and burst into laughter as she spoke, "May I use my amazing charm on you, princess?"

The cloaked girl stood and raised her bag at the other, "We still have this. C'mon, Blake and Yang are waiting!"

"You could've just kept the answers simple, and we would be back and happy by now!"

"Says the one starting with, 'is it not me anymore?'"

"Let's go already, dolt."

"Defeateedddd!"

"You're giving me a headache, you dolt."
