Thawing Hearts (Weiss Schnee x Female Reader)

Chapter 4

"You have to go to the dance, (Y/n)!" Fox said, "I'll be your date, you can forget all about Weiss and just have a good time."

"I don't know if that's such a good idea. Why can't I just rot in bed all day?"

"Because I know what's best for you! I'm your best friend—"

"Objection!" Velvet and Coco called out in unison.

"I'm your best friend," Fox continued, ignoring the other half of our team, "It will be fun, all of your friends will be there." I sighed and nodded, reluctantly agreeing.

———

"(Y/n), Fox! You two look cute together." Yang said, smiling at us and beginning to make her way towards us as she dragged Blake with her.

"You guys too!" I responded, causing Blake and Yang to blush and look away from each other.

Yang coughed, trying to break the silence that overfell her and Blake, "So..." Yang tried to change the subject, "Is this official?"

I shook my head, "No, we're just friends."

Blake looked past Fox and I, "Weiss, Neptune – Over here!" Blake waved the two over. They weren't; even matching. Neptune was wearing a black suit lined with some kind of orange material. Weiss was wearing a beautiful white dress that had two cut outs at her waist. She looks so breathtakingly beautiful.

Weiss saw Fox and I and clung to Neptune's arm as they approached, "Look at you two!" Yang said, beaming at Neptune and Weiss.

"Neptune is quite the gentleman! He picked me up at the dorm." Weiss replied, looking up at Neptune who was smirking.

"Isn't her dorm right down the hall–" Fox began to say before I elbowed him as I stifled my laugh.

"It was nice seeing you two." I said, grabbing Fox's hand, "We're going to go dance." Fox grinned and grabbed my other hand. I caught a glimpse of what I think was Weiss rolling her eyes as Fox dragged me to the dancefloor.

"I love this song!" He loudly shouted over the music, causing a few people to look at us. I laughed and I honestly felt a little bit better. Maybe it was seeing Fox attempt to dance or seeing Coco try to impress Velvet, but I felt happy and I couldn't stop laughing.

Fox grabbed my hand and pulled me closer to him, "Slow song!" He happily announced. Fox and I danced like normal, he even attempted to dip me as a joke and almost dropped me. Fox moved even closer to me and leaned down near my ear, "Weiss is staring at us." He whispered.

I pulled away from Fox and looked behind us. Weiss sat alone on one of the chairs lined up against the wall, "F-Fox, I'll be right back." Fox nodded and let go of me. I walked over to Weiss and sat in the chair next to her, "Is everything alright?"

Weiss didn't look up from the ground, "Yes." She coldly responded.

"Where's Neptune?"

"He left to go flirt with some other girl."

"What?! What a jerk."

Weiss sighed and stood up, her head hung low. She didn't bother to respond to me. She walked up the large staircase up to the balcony. I think in this moment alone it was clear she was a Schnee. She walked with grace, she remained stoic, and everyone's heads (at least mine did) turn to look. Something told me to follow her, to talk to her where no one could disrupt – maybe she would actually open up to me. So, I did what most people in this situation would probably advise against and went upstairs. Weiss stood against the railing of the balcony, tears streaming down her face as she desperately tried to wipe them away.

"Weiss?" I questioned, she looked up at me and her eyes widened.

"(Y-Y/n), what are y-you doing here?"

"Weiss, I'm sorry about Neptune–"

"YOU DON'T GET IT!" Weiss yelled, childishly stomping one of her heels against the ground. Weiss stepped towards me, she jabbed her finger in my chest, "You don't get it." She repeated, this time erupting into even more tears, "Why did you have to come with him?"

"W-What?"

"Don't you understand, (Y/n)?" Weiss grabbed my face with her hands and kissed me. It was quick, full of need, and everything that one would not expect of thee Weiss Schnee. Weiss pulled away, one of her hands on the back of my neck and the other resting against my cheek.

"W-Weiss–" Before I could even question what just happened, Weiss pulled me into another kiss. This one much longer; her lips moved against mine and I could feel the longing in our kiss, the longing I had wished so desperately Weiss would return. I attempted to pull away to catch my breath, but Weiss's hand on the back of my neck made it so I couldn't move away. Her hand slowly moved up and began to entangle itself in my hair. My hands rested on Weiss's waist, right where the cuts in her dress laid. Her skin was soft and so were her lips. Kissing her was better than I could have imagined and I imagined it quite a bit during Port's boring lectures. Weiss pulled away, allowing me to finally catch my breath. Weiss hardly seemed fazed, she didn't even have to catch her breath.

"Don't tell anyone about this, dolt." Weiss whispered.

"W-Weiss, do you l-like me?"

"More than I should." And with that, Weiss walked back downstairs.
