Chapter Text
Ruby fell asleep halfway into the movie. Dunce, Weiss thought, couldn’t she at least stay awake until the ending? Weiss couldn’t really blame her though, the movie did seem a bit drab for Ruby’s taste.
Rolling her eyes, Weiss paused the movie. She had finished her work a bit earlier than she had expected as well and resorted to reading a book as opposed to watching the movie without Ruby. Or at least she was going to until Yang barged in the front door.
“Daad! I’m home!” Yang called into the house, much like her younger sister. “I brought a friend!” Nope, exactly like her little sister. “Dad?” She called again, stepping into the livingroom. “Oh, hey, Weiss.” She greeted her, smiling brightly.
“Hello.” Weiss whispered, waving a hand before gesturing for her to be quiet with a finger over her lips and nodding towards the sleeping girl.
“Right sorry,” Yang whispered back with a nod. “Oh , right,” She said, keeping a low volume, “This is my friend, Blake.” She said, reaching around the corner to drag her friend into the room and then nudging her towards Weiss.
“Oh. Hey, Weiss.” Blake said with a small smile.
“Hey.” Weiss looked surprised at first but soon mirrored the smile back at her.
“Ruby slept through Yang's entrance?” Blake asked with a chuckle.
“Shocking, isn’t it?”
“Do you guys know each other?” Yang asked, looking between with a brow raised.
“We have pre-calc, and anatomy together.” Weiss said with a nod, setting her book on her lap.
“And compsci and medical careers.” Blake added, looking back at the blonde.
“Dang Weiss, why do you always meet the cute ones first?” Yang joked, winking at Blake and earning a blush.
“You think Jaune is cute?” Weiss asked with a smirk, raising her eyebrows at Yang expectantly.
“So-so, he’s cute but a little clueless for my taste.” Yang admitted, twisting her hand side to side to get her point across. “Anyway, where’s my dad?”
“He should be back soon, he went to pick up somethings for dinner.”
“Ah, okay. Well, in the meantime, I will show this lovely lady to my room.” Yang grinned, gesturing towards Blake.
“You act like I haven’t been here before.” Blake said dryly, taking off towards the room without Yang.
“Wait! You have?” Yang called after her, following her to the room.
“Mhmm.” Blake had been over to the house a few times, though it was always to do homework with the younger sister since she had yet to meet Yang. Yang had even said hello to her when she was in the house a few times, it was a bit sad that Yang didn’t remember.
Weiss rolled her eyes again, “And she said Juane is clueless?” She sighed, picking her book up again. Finally she could get some reading don-
“I’m home!” Taiyang called into the house, shutting the door.
“Of course.” Weiss huffed, closing her book.
"Weiss..” Ruby mumbled in her sleep, turning to the side a little. Weiss shook her head, how can she sleep through all of that? Wait. Why is she dreaming about me?!
Sighing again(now with a blush on her face), Weiss got up from the couch and went to help Taiyang with the groceries. “Hello,” She smiled at him, upon entering the kitchen.
“Oh. Hey, Weiss.” He smiled back, setting the groceries on the counter. “Where are the girls?” He asked, setting the bags on the counter.
“Ruby is napping on the couch, and Yang is in her room with Blake.” She said pointing a thumb back towards the living room. “Need some help?” She offered, picking up some boxes of food.
“Yeah, you can just put those in the pantry.” He said nodding towards the cabinet next to the oven. “Blake came with Yang?” Taiyang already knew Blake, but he knew her as Ruby’s friend from school. He didn’t know that she was friends with his oldest too.
“Mhm, it looks like they just met though. Or at least Yang thinks so.” She said putting the cookies on the highest shelf she could reach with hopes that Ruby wouldn’t be able to get them.
Tai raised a brow at her, putting some produce in the fridge, “How do you mean?”
“They have met before. A few times actually, but apparently Yang doesn’t seem to remember.”
“Ah, okay. Yang does that from time to time, I don’t know why but sometimes you’ll have a conversation with her and she won’t remember exchanging a word.” He said as he put away the last of the groceries, “Anyway, thanks for the help. Dinner will be ready in an hour.”
“I’ll let them know.” Weiss nodded, walking out of the kitchen.
Ruby was still sleeping on the couch when Weiss got back, only now she was laying on her side and using the armrest as a pillow. Instead of waking her, Weiss pulled out her phone and texted her that dinner would be ready in an hour so that she would see it when she woke up. After adjusting the blanket so that Ruby wouldn’t get chilly, Weiss made her way to Yang’s room and knocked on the door.
“It’s open!” Yang.
Weiss opened the door a crack and poked her head into the room, “Your dad’s back, and dinner will be ready in an hour.” Yang stared at her blankly for a long moment before she burst out laughing. “What?! What’s so funny?” Weiss cried, checking to make sure she was fully clothed (not that that had been a problem before).
“Oh, It’s just. You. Sound. Just like. A mom.” She said between gasps for air, waving a hand in the air as if it would dismiss her laughter.
“Hmph!” Weiss huffed, blushing furiously. She turned to Blake, “Dinner is in an hour.” She repeated herself before slamming the door shut and storming back into the living room. “If anything she’s the mom in this household.” Weiss muttered to herself, getting her book from the table and going to the backyard to read in peace.
It was certainly quieter out there, but it wasn’t any more peaceful since every few moments she would mutter something to herself in annoyance.
If Ruby was awake, she would've thought that it was cute that something so small, so innocent, could put her in such a mood.
