Ruby had been acting odd recently. It seemed to Weiss that she was the only one that noticed. Lately she had gotten a tad bit more quiet than usual, her cookie intake increased dramatically, more often than not Ruby could be caught daydreaming, sometimes snapping out of her trance with a light dusting of pink across her cheeks. Wait. Pink…was Ruby blushing? What on earth could she possibly be thinking about? Now that she thought about it she hadn't seen Ruby lately except for classes, lunch, and when the entire team came back to sleep for the night. Was she sneaking out? If anything Ruby should be resting, after all it had only been a couple of days since the Vytal Festival ended and Weiss knew everybody that participated would still be sighed and closed her textbook.

That dolt…

The sound of it closing echoed through the library. There were no classes scheduled for the day, and so Yang went out riding around town for whatever reason on bumblebee, Blake had gone to the bookstore and told the team she would be back before dinner, of course with Ruby, Weiss had no idea of her current whereabouts. For the first time in a long time Weiss felt lonely. Her finger tapped the edge of her textbook before she turned her eyes to a nearby window, taking in the clear blue sky and a scant few students walking about the courtyard.

Where on earth could she be?

When a splash of red flashed by Weiss felt her breath catch. Ruby! Her eyes trailed after the slow disappearing trail of rose petals until her gaze land on the caped figure of Ruby standing a little ways off in the distance. Besides herself Ruby was the only other teammate left on school ground, both of them haven't spoken too much after the tournament. Now she had the perfect opportunity to ask her. Weiss scooted out of her chair as fast as possible, stood up, pushed the chair back in, and hurried out of the library. Weiss tried to keep her fast gait as dignified as possible, all the while glancing out the window, ensuring that her team leader was still in the same spot. She nearly cursed underneath her breath when her leader was cut off from her view from an abrupt end of windows. Weiss exited the building and made a turn around the corner, relief filling her when she saw Ruby. She stepped back around the corner to compose herself. Her waited a few moments until she got her breathing back under control and smoothed out her skirt, her hands then finding their way up to her hair to make sure it was in place. Sucking in a big breath, Weiss held it in for a few moments before slowly breathing out. Weiss stepped out from behind the corner with a smile on her face, and then she froze.

Wha- what on earth is going on? Who is she! Why…why is she….

She felt like she was intruding on something private. Weiss could hardly contain herself when she saw Ruby off in the distance and an older girl, dark skin, blonde hair, smile at each other, and then draw each other in a tight embrace seemingly lost in their own world. Weiss backed up on unsteady legs, eyes wide, she couldn't bear to watch a second longer. Back near the entrance of the library Weiss felt her chest constrict and balled her hands in her skirt.

What….what did I just see?
