Frozen Heart: Male Reader x Cheater Weiss Schnee

Chapter V: First Date

Instead of coffee, you find the large supply of alcohol you purchased from Junior and sit down on your couch with the crate resting on the coffee table. Sinking into the couch, you popped open the bottle and began to drink heavily. Grabbing the remote, you turn on your television and begin to flick through the channels, not really paying attention to what was on.

Flashes of color pass before your eyes in a haze as you become increasingly more drunk. You continue to pass through the many channels paying them no mind; the news, commercials for restaurants, crime shows. You pause when a channel pops up playing a rerun of the movie "A Hunter and a Scholar". ________________________________________________________________________________

"Hey Weiss." You shout. You run through the school hallways after her, pushing your way through the crowd. "Weiss!"

Weiss stops and turns her head, looking for whoever's calling her name. She smiles and rolls her eyes when she sees it's you.

"Hey." You say breathlessly, finally managing to catch up her.

She smiles up at you, clutching her books to her chest. People pass around you as you just stand and smile at her. "(F/N)?" Weiss asks, tucking a stray piece of hair behind her ear. "What did you want?"

"Hmm? Oh, right I was wondering if, you know, you might want to...." You rub the back of your neck and stumble over your words. "Or maybe we could just, I don't know... or if you didn't want to do that we could..."

Weiss giggles at your stammering and places a finger over your lips. "I'd love to."

"Really?"

"Mmhmm." She nods. "Pick me up at 7:00?"

"Uh, yeah."

You continue to stand there, shifting your wait back and forth. "Um, I've gotta get to class." Weiss says, pointing over her shoulder.

"Oh, right, yeah."

"But I'll see you tonight."

You watch Weiss walk away. As she's about to turn a corner, she looks over her shoulder to see you still staring after her. You catch her laugh before she disappears behind the corner. You snap out of your trance when you hear the bell ring. Turning on the spot, you run through the halls to your next class.

Classes end at 4:00 and you return to your dorm room to decide on an outfit tonight. You don't want to come across too formal, afraid it might put her off. At the same time, this was Weiss Schnee, so jeans and a t-shirt wouldn't cut it. Your teammates make fun of you as you stress over what to wear. You ask for their advice, but they only tease you. In the end, you decide upon a simple pair of khakis, a light blue dress shirt, and a sweater vest, accompanied by your black wool winter jacket.

At 6:45, you get dressed and head out the door, your teammates wishing you good luck. You arrive outside Team RWBY's dormitory at 6:50. Taking a few deep breaths to calm your nerves, you determinedly knock on the door before you have the chance to chicken out.

The door opens, and Yang stands framed in the doorway. "Hey Weiss!" She calls over her shoulder. "Your date's here!"

Weiss calls something back that you can't quite make out.

"Come on in." Yang says, standing back. "Weiss is just finishing up her makeup."

Palms sweating, you walk inside the room. You laugh weakly when you see the room's arrangement. The beds have been stacked to make makeshift bunkbeds. One even hangs from the ceiling with several lengths of rope. You're somewhat surprised that Weiss agreed to this arrangement. Then again, she was probably outvoted.

You turn when you hear the bathroom door open, revealing Weiss standing in her usual attire. You smile at her and she smiles back. Ruby hands Weiss her winter jacket which she slips on.

"Ready?" You ask breathlessly.

"Yeah." She responds in the same manner.

She loops her arm through yours and steers you towards the door.

"Have fun!" Ruby calls after the two of you.

"But not too much!" Yang calls.

"Don't stay out to late." Blake says.

"So, where are you taking me?" Weiss asks as you step into the elevator.

"Dinner, and a movie." You answer. "I know it's cliché, but..."

"Don't worry about it, it sounds great."

Indeed, it was. Dinner wasn't anything too fancy, but it was several steps above fast food. As you eat, the two of you partake in a casual conversation. It's a little foreign to you. After all, the two of you started as friends, and while you were comfortable in each other's presence, the new circumstances made things a bit strange.

"So, how have you been?" You ask. "I haven't seen you in about a week, not since the parade."

"I've been well, thank you." She responds. "Though I will admit, I was wondering when you were going to ask me out."

"You were?"

"Of course." She nods. "Ever since the dance it's been a bit obvious."

"Oh." You say, somewhat embarrassed. "I hope I didn't make you feel uncomfortable."

"You didn't." She says. "After all, I'm sitting here with you, aren't I."

"So you are." You smile.

After dinner you take Weiss to a movie theater showing the new release 'A Hunter and a Scholar'. A clever play on the popular phrase, the movie follows the relationship of a young couple who are pulled apart by life. The woman becomes a professional huntress while the man becomes a school teacher. Through a series of events, they eventually find each other again and rekindle the flames of their past romance.

Weiss seems to enjoy the movie, and halfway through she scoots closer to you in her seat. After some thought, you hesitantly raise your arms above your head. Heart pounding, you pull the 'classic boyfriend move' and rest one arm around Weiss' shoulder. Weiss gives a sigh of contentment and rests her head against your shoulder. Heart pounding, stomach fluttering, you rest your own head upon Weiss'. ________________________________________________________________________________

The movie is still pretty near the beginning. Tears fall from your eyes as you watch the two main characters kiss for the first time. Closing your eyes and doing your best to stop crying, you scream and throw your drink at the television screen. The bottle breaks against the screen, cracking it and causing the picture to distort. Grabbing another bottle, you throw it at the screen, this time causing it to turn black.
