The hour was late, neither of them really able to sleep. So much had happened in the hours since Yang and Weiss arrived that the two partners didnât have a moment for each other until now. Between eating all the food, catching up as a group and speaking with Ozpin about everything, it had been a heavy evening. And now, as the clock strikes midnight, the two sit in their shared bedroom with a chance to talk.
âYang told me what happened. You didnât have a choice.â
She wasnât going to say it didnât hurt. Without Weiss around, it felt as if she was missing a piece of herself. Weiss had become her best friend, something Ruby never thought would happen on that first day of school. Considering they exploded in the courtyard. But finding out Weiss was back in Atlas and there was no reliable way to contact her. She had tried writing letters. Just some way to keep in touch with her. But she never got a response. She figured they got lost in transit.
âWhatâs important that youâre here now. And when Blake gets here, weâll all be together.âÂ
Ruby paused, her fingers twitching just lightly as she looked to Weiss. She bit her lip, feeling the hesitation welling within her. The clouds moved across the moon, bathing their room in the gentle glow. Taking a deep breath and deciding now was the time, Ruby reached over to take a soft hold on Weissâ hand. At first, she just cupped their hands around each other but soon she tried to lace their fingers together. Softly, hesitantly in hopes her best friend would follow suit.
âI wrote you a lot of letters you know. I donât think they ever reached you. But it was mostly about things on Patch. What was going on day to day and how Yang was doing.â There was no need to mention the love Ruby poured into them. How she often bled her heart on the page about her feeling for Weiss. âSnail mail has always been pretty unreliable I guess. Iâm just really glad youâre here now.â
