Surfing the Wave (RWBY Rock AU)

Summary:

Ruby tries to show Weiss a good time and inadvertently angers her. Will this bite her in the ass or will they make amends?

Notes:

I'm ngl, this fic was written a long, long time ago and I sort of wanted it published. Thinking about getting back into writing but we'll see.

Work Text:

"Oh my god guys, did you see that amazing crowd surfing I did back there! Yang, why didn't I listen to you earlier!" The brunette began to exclaim.


"I told you little sis, I am a fucking genius, look at my shirt," the blonde responded and tugged at the ends of the fabric for her bandmates to read it. 


"You two are both so immature, I swear," Weiss began, "It might be a dream come true, but think of what kind of injuries can occur from it going wrong. What are we supposed to do with a member in the hospital or something of the sort?"


The two sisters looked at each other, then back to Weiss, and back at each other before smiling. Yang double checked, "Next show?"
Ruby confirmed, "Next show."

"Thanks for such an amazing show tonight guys! But before we leave we want to do something special." The crowd began to cheer with excitement from the praise. Ruby began to walk towards Weiss as the crowd died down. She picked up Weiss's hands and brought them up to chest height. The other girl's face began to heat up as she stared down to their connected hands.


"Weiss, just follow my lead okay."
She stammered uncharacteristically, "O-okay Ruby." The girl had finally gazed away and begun to notice the shift from the left side of the stage to now the front and center, the crowd only a mere inches away.


"CROWD SURFING!" It was all Weiss could hear before she felt a pair of hands push her and she was shoved into the sea of people. She felt light, being taken away. However, she felt her chest and breathing constricted. She tried to stay calm, but soon became aware that she was hyperventilating. Once she was back on solid ground a pair of hands pulled Weiss to her feet.

After the show, Weiss hurriedly packed away the violin and mic. She walked over and turned towards the singer and lead guitar. “Ruby, as fun as that could have been, that is not something you should do. At least not without permission, that was unacceptable. You don't understand because you're too naïve to comprehend the risks and dangers of body surfing. I for one did not think it was funny.”

 

At this point, Ruby felt defensive. “You know Weiss? Maybe you should learn to have some fun every once in a while. Stop being such an uptight, hard ass sometimes.” With that, the guitarist stormed off.

 

Yang began to walk towards Weiss as she stared, jaw hanging open. She rested a hand on the shorter one’s shoulder, “I know Ruby can be a little hard to deal with and I guess it wasn't really that cool to just scare you like that. Just know that she had good intentions, you're a little too strict sometimes. Weiss, we're on tour! Let loose some! I'd go talk to her though, I've never seen her like this, and hell, I practically raised her.” 

Leaning against the door, Weiss shifted her glance away from the door. ‘ I can just walk away and pretend I never even came. She'd probably forget anyways. No big deal. But this might compromise the band somehow.’ As her hand rose to knock on the wood, a muffled conversation could be heard. 

 

“...thought she would have fun for once in her life, Juane. Seriously, when does Weiss ever have fun? How are you and Pyrrha doing? ... Got any date ideas then, because if she reacted that way to something so small, I guess my date ideas are out of the question... haha, totally not skydiving. Back to focusing on this raid then, Nightfall is one of the hardest.”

 

The ice queen sat there frozen trying to process what she just heard. ‘ Ruby Rose. Guitarist and singer for Grimms and Roses... wants to.. take me, Weiss Schnee, on a date? Okay, but why did she pull off such a shitty-’

 

“What are you doing here?”

 

Weiss looked up to see a pair of gray eyes looking at her. 

 

“I wanted to apologize for getting mad earlier, even though I disagree with what you did.”

 

“Is that it? Because I have a raid to beat with Juane so I can get exotic armor.”

 

“I guess so...” Weiss began to turn away.

 

“Okay, look, I'm sorry. That was a really stupid idea. I shouldn't have done that.”

 

“So why did you do it Ruby, you've never done this before?” Weiss questioned the younger girl.

 

"I don't know Weiss, sometimes I get this weird feeling in my chest and I don't know how to explain it and I just want you to be happy like me and-” Weiss held her finger up to the girls mouth.

 

“Ruby, calm down. I’m happy. The most I’ve been in a long while. If you do want to make me even more happy I’d be glad to give you some suggestions for a date, possibly after your raid with Jaune,” Weiss explained as she kissed the younger girl on the forehead.

 

“Yeah, date ideas after my raid with Jaune, sounds good! Wait! Were you listening to my conversation?” Ruby yelled as the vocalist walked off to her room.
