Moments of life (WhiteRose story)

Sisterly bonding

Along came a WhiteRose (in between the two month gap in Ch.9)

(Third person pov)
Weiss and Ruby were standing outside the academy's entrance saying their goodbyes as Ruby was going on a mission with her future sister in-law Winter. Ruby thought that doing this mission with the older schnee would be a good way to bond and to maybe get Winter's approval "Are you sure you don't want me to come with you?" Weiss asks after breaking from their kiss "Yes I'm sure besides there's still that last bit of wedding preparation to go over right?" Ruby asks while holding Weiss' hands, Weiss hummed in acknowledgement "Plus it will probably give you more bonding time with my sister" Ruby says smiling, Weiss gives her a deadpan expression "Ruby were on the same team as your sister" Weiss says trying to hold back her laughter "Oh right, sorry guess I'm more nervous than I thought" Ruby says while rubbing the back of her head.

Weiss chuckled and kissed Ruby softly on her lips before going back inside the academy leaving Ruby to walk to the landing pads where she will meet the older schnee. Once Ruby made it to the assigned landing pad she is face to face with Winter standing next to an Atlesian gunship "Your late" Winter says sternly while side eyeing her "Sorry, Weiss-" "I don't need to know, let's go" Winter says cutting off Ruby and entering the gunship "So far, so good" Ruby says sarcastically while following Winter into the gunship. As Ruby sat down across from Winter the gunship took off and Winter began the briefing of the mission which was a simple search and destroy out in the tundra, after the briefing they sat in silence with Ruby nervous being near her future sister in-law which went unnoticed by Winter as she checked the info on the mission.

Once they reached the assigned location the two wasted no time in slaying the Grimm in the area, but not everything goes to plan as the two became overrun as more and more Grimm arrived destroying the gunship killing the pilot inside. Ruby and Winter retreated to a nearby cave, Winter summoned a Beowolf to steer the horde of Grimm further into the tundra away from their position. "I've alerted the general about our predicament, he said our resuce transport will pick us up in an hour" Winter says while sitting down on the cave floor opposite of Ruby "Well this could of gone better" Ruby says resting her head in the palm of her hand "Your comment is noted" Winter replies coldly while glaring at her.

They sat in silence the only sound being made was the wind, Ruby's cloak flapping in the wind and the occasional howl of a Grimm putting them on edge that continued for several minutes until Winter broke the silence "Why did you want me to do this mission with you?" "Huh?" Ruby responds while tilting her head to the side making her hood that she pulled over her head to try and stay warm slightly cover her right eye, "It's just that I thought you would choose Weiss to go with you" Winter says clearing up the confusion "Oh it's...it's not important" Ruby responds looking away from the older schnee "Please tell me, I'm just curious" Winter says softly, thinking she might of offended her "It's just Weiss admires and looks up to you in so many ways and you care about her more than your parents did I wanted to impress you and to maybe use this time to bond seeing as that were going to be sisters soon" Ruby says embarresed and still looking away from the older schnee.

Winter's expression softened and stood up from where she was sitting and walked over to the young girl, she sat down next to Ruby and wrapped an arm around her shoulders surprising Ruby in the process "Ruby do you remember what I said to you the first time we met?" Winter asks "You said thanks for-" Ruby stops half way through her sentence realising what she meant "You knew?!" Ruby says surprised and red in the face from embarresment, "Yes I knew you liked my sister it was kind of obvious and I already knew that she liked you, so when I saw you on that day at Beacon I decided that whatever happened between you two, I would support and be happy for you" Winter responds with a warm smile making Ruby smile as well. "I can't wait intill were sisters!" Ruby says hugging Winter making her chuckle and ruffle the younger girl's hair in return "As can't I" Winter says.

The next hour was spent talking about the wedding, Ruby's and Weiss' honeymoon, their plans afterwards and some random small talk, once their rescue transport arrived to take them back to the academy they sat next to each other still continuing their conversation. Once they arrived back at the academy Ruby was tackled by a worried ice queen "Weiss...I'm...fine" Ruby says in between Weiss kissing her "I was so worried, when the general said that you two were overrun with Grimm and your gunship was destroyed I-" before Weiss could ramble on she is cut off by Winter "You need to have more faith in your fiancée, she is a remarkable fighter she wouldn't let a few Grimm take her down".

Winter then wraps an arm around Ruby's shoulders making the young girl smile wide in the process, Weiss looks between the two confused at their new found bond "What did you do to my sister?" Weiss says clearly confused making Ruby and Winter chuckle. After their conversation the three entered the academy and went to the dorm to sort out the last few preparations of the wedding.
