Fire Melts Ice | Weiss x Male Reader

Chapter 19: Hope

It's been a week since the incident happened. I haven't talked to any of my friends especially Weiss and only go out of the academy to stay here during my free times.

"How am I gonna explain this to everyone? They'll now think that I'm in a relationship with a criminal that they fought weeks ago." I said as I bang my head on the table.

I could feel a hand run through my hair and looked up to see Neo, who was wearing a worried expression. The way she looks at me makes me think she's apologizing to me for making that move back at the park. It only made me smile and look away, resting my chin on my arms that were resting on the table.

"Don't worry Neo, it's mostly my fault that everything happened. I shouldn't have confessed in the first place, then again I might not meet you if I didn't." I spoke.

She's now angry at me. I bet she won't even talk to me because of that misunderstanding. If only I have the power to change everything I would've done it. Weiss will probably hate me now, those glaring eyes of hers staring at me, contains the emotion that I'm feeling at the moment. Sadness, I can't believe I made my best friend sad. Am I even deserving to be her best friend after what happened? I guess not, I'm a horrible guy for her.

I snapped back to reality when Neo poked my forehead. I didn't even noticed I was spacing out, looking at Neo, she gives me a slight frown.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked.

She only pointed behind me, I turn back and saw the outside of the warehouse. Looking back at her, I give her a confused expression.

"What are you pointing at exactly?" I questioned.

Responding with rolling her eyes, she pulled me up from my seat and started to push me towards the exit. I tried not to budge but she was giving much force than I anticipated, I stepped forward in order for her to not push me anymore. I faced her while giving her a frown, Neo then facepalm herself and went to one of the cabinets. This caused me curiosity and approached her, I found out that she was writing something. So I waited for her to finish and she showed me the paper which the word 'Snowball' was written on in.

It took me a few seconds before finally realizing what she meant. I gave Neo a smile then sprint out of the warehouse.

"Thanks Neo! I owe you one!" I shouted.

She then gleefully waved at me and sending off a smile. I run through the many streets and soon arrived at a bullhead. Getting on it, I head my way to Beacon.

....................

"Hey Weiss wait! Where are you going?! Stop!" I heard a voice yelled out.

I didn't bother stopping and facing them and only continue to walk away while tears rapidly drop from my eyes. My eyes were so blurry that I couldn't see right. But that didn't stop me. I walk and walk and walk, until I stopped in front of the docks.

That's where I continue my crying, why does it hurt so much? Why do I even planned on telling my feelings to him when he's already with someone else? I can feel my chest tighten, I hold it tight and continue to cry. Later, I then felt two arms wrapped around me from behind. I looked back and saw that it was Ruby hugging me.

"It's okay Weiss, I'm here for you as your second best friend." She said smiling at me.

Second? What does she mean by that?-- oh, I see. Seconds had passed, I now started to calm down, but was still crying.

"It hurts Ruby, to see that the one you love has someone else." I manage to say through my sobbing.

"Weiss, I know you and I both saw what that girl did to big bro but maybe it's only a misunderstanding? That they weren't actually together?" Ruby stated, letting go of me.
