Chapter Text
Weiss hates reporters. Every minute of every day at least one of the little cockroaches was guaranteed to be hanging around, looking for a "Schnee Scandal", or something along those lines. Admittedly this wasn't particularly surprising to anyone, Weiss being the head of the largest conglomerate on the planet, and one of the greatest heroes of remnant to boot. She couldn't even find it in herself to blame them for coming after her instead of the rest of team RWBY either. Even if any of them could keep up with her, Ruby was out in the wilderness, killing Grimm and exploring the forgotten corners of remnant, far too often for any reporter without extensive hunter training to hound her. Blake had enough experience shaking off tails that even the most determined journalist wouldn't have a chance of keeping track of her. As for Yang, who has long since lost patience with this sort of thing, had mastered the art of sending newshounds packing in such a way that none of them with a shred of sanity would dare attempt pestering her a second time
Weiss on the other hand, with her predictable schedule, lack of terrorist training, and inability to use violence on civilians (even the most infuriating ones) without pissing off her shareholders, just had to learn to deal with the fact that if she ever left the house in anything more casual than a tailored suit she would end up on the cover of some mindless gossip rag that declared that she was having some form of breakdown.
There was at least one silver lining to all this though: the media's complete obliviousness to her relationship with her team.
The articles were always hilarious. A romantic dinner date? 'TEAM RWBY HAS FRIENDLY GATHERING AT FIVE STAR RESTAURANT!' The time that Yang went around drunkenly proclaiming her love for her team-mates from the rooftops? 'SUCH IS THE WONDERFUL FRIENDSHIP THAT TEAM RWBY SHARES!' An actual make out session in a public area? 'JUST GALS BEING PALS!!!'
She probably should just release a public statement on the nature of their relationship, but at the same time she really wanted to see how far she could push this. After all it would be fun to see what the headlines would be on their wedding day.
