Whiterose Week 2020

Two best friends, holding each other close.

Weiss' eyes fluttered open, and she reached lazily to turn off the alarm that had been blaring. She would have gladly stayed right where she was if she didn't have things to do that day. She rolled over onto her side, seeing that the woman next to her was still snoring away peacefully. It almost seemed criminal to wake her up.
    Weiss brushed a finger up and down Ruby's nose, causing her to stir. She batted at Weiss' hand a little, before realising what it was and stopping. Ruby slowly opened one of her eyes, interlocking fingers with the hand that had just been tormenting her.
   The ex-heiress just stared for a minute, studying the way Ruby's hair had fallen across her face. With her free hand, Weiss slowly brushed her fingers across her girlfriend's forehead, catching a few strands of hair as she did.

"We need to get up, love."

Ruby sleepily stuck out her bottom lip, "Noooooo! What time is it?"

"It's 8am." Weiss said, letting her hand rest along Ruby's jawline.

This caused a groan from the younger of the two, and she purposely snuggled closer, wrapping her arms around the smaller woman firmly. Weiss nearly protested, but stopped herself. She returned the hug, her arms around Ruby's shoulders.
   Weiss enjoyed the warmth her partner provided, and nestled her head in the crook of Ruby's neck. They could get away with staying in bed a little longer, but the smaller girl knew for a fact they'd just be in more of a rush than usual if they didn't move.

"Ruuubyyy." Weiss made sure to make her voice sound extra soft.

"Miss Schnee, we'd like to apologise but Ruby Rose isn't here right now. Please leave a message after the beep."

Weiss stifled a little laugh, pushing away from the younger woman to see her face as she mimicked an answer phone, "You're such a dolt."

Weiss watched as a smile formed on Ruby's lips, "Maybe I am. What are you gonna do about it?"

The ex-heiress rolled her eyes, pinching the girl's cheeks. Ruby frowned, opening her eyes properly now. Weiss had a smirk on her face, she'd gotten her attention properly now. Ruby let go of the girl opposite her and took hold of the hands still holding onto her face.

"I'm not a baby, you can't keep doing this." She tried her best to sound annoyed but failed miserably.

Weiss moved to kiss her nose now that she was free, "I'll do what I please, thank you very much."

Ruby smiled, leaning in to press her lips against Weiss' softly, "... Good Morning."

Once Weiss had sat up, the pair went about their morning routine, if not a little quicker than usual when they had days off together. Breakfast was all together uneventful, and Weiss was now finishing off getting ready, putting on her last earring. She looked at herself in the mirror for a second once she'd secured it.
    Her hair was shoulder length these days, mostly because it was far easier to manage. Totally not because of a certain red sniper scythe having gone rogue one day a few years back. She'd not spoken to Ruby for a week when it happened, but now she kept it short purposely.
     She was busy giving it a quick brush when she saw Ruby walking over in the background. Ruby's hair was longer now, and she had it stuck up in a ponytail that had grown to be a familiar sight. 
    The younger woman stopped next to Weiss, looking in the mirror herself.

"Can I do a little side braid again?" Ruby caught Weiss' eyes in the mirror.

Weiss smiled, "Okay, as long as you're quick."

Ruby practically jumped with excitement, and brushed her fingers through a tiny portion of Weiss hair, just beside her left ear. Weiss watched as Ruby stuck her tongue out to concentrate, working as quickly as she could. Once the braid was done, Weiss' ear was fully visible.
    Ruby smiled, noticing the earring.
