Blood Red, Snow White

[Weiss Schnee]

Why couldn't I have just died there?! Save Yang and Blake the pain of missing two of us! Why did we have to-

The emotions that finally raced through Weiss physically hurt, and so many spoken and unspoken words suddenly raced through her. Even now, all I was doing was causing my friends pain. It's all I ever managed to do with my worthless life. for all the fronts I put up that I was strong, and intelligenct, and classy, in the end I was just a weak, pompous little girl who deserved to-
Weiss's internal monologue was immediately interrupted by the feeling of lips pressing against her.

"wh-what?"
A few seconds later Weiss was still blushing a bit. "You're terrible, you know that?" Weiss asked with a slight smile. Ruby just stuck her tongue out in response.
She might have been worthless. But she'd finally found her best friend. And she wasn't going to cry anymore.

Weiss smiled gently as she quietly added. "I missed you so much."
Ruby stuck her tongue out. "Does that mean you're going to be less of an ice queen?" Ruby asked jokingly.
Weiss's face fell a bit, and Ruby's face immediately shifted to that of panic. "I-I'm just joking, Weiss... Please don't be like that..."

Weiss smiled. "I know, Ruby. But... Yeah, I'll do my best to be less of a jerk. I... The last thing I want to do is spend my time with you fighting."

Ruby's eyes started to water, and Weiss smiled in spite of herself, putting a finger to Ruby's face in a gesture of silence. "Remember what I said, back at beacon? We'd just had a big fight, and I'd acted like a... Well, a jerk after class... for real this time. Starting now, I'm going to be the best teammate you'll ever have."
Ruby moved like a blur, and suddenly the embrace she found herself in was oh so much tighter. "Weiss..."
Even as they hugged, though, neither noticed Weiss's eyes briefly change to a shade of emerald green, before going back to normal.
