Chapter 18: Misunderstandings
"This is all going down the wrong path." Noir said while being accompanied by Yang and Ruby in the cafeteria.
"It's been two weeks already, we have to do something about the two. I'm worried about Weiss and big bro." Ruby said in a saddened tone.
"You're not the only one who is worried, Ruby. We all do, neither of them even talked properly to each other. Since it's mostly our fault that this happened, we must do everything we can to bring them back together." Yang responded to her.
"But the question is, how can we do it? We must have some plan before doing things like that." Noir stated.
"Maybe we should try and convince them to talk to each other and clear things out." Ruby suggested.
"That's not a bad idea but, there's a chance it might not work." Noir said.
"It's our only chance though. We must do it." Yang said to him.
"All right, let's try our best and hope to convince them." He said sighing.
The three of them come to an agreement in convincing Weiss and Y/N to get back together as friends. After the discussion, they parted ways and tried to find the pair. Ruby and Yang are tasked to talk to their brother while Noir to the heiress. Ruby told her sister that he found their brother going out of town so they both head to a bullhead and head there as well.
As for Noir, he is standing outside RWBY's dorm. He knocked at the door a few times and Blake responded, she asked the reason why he is here and he told her he wants to talk to her other teammate who was currently with her. After hearing his reason, she let him in and saw the two of them.
"I assume that it's something important so I'm going to leave the two of you." Blake said to Noir as she walks out of the room.
"Thanks Blake." He thanked her.
"No problem." She calmly responded before closing the door.
"So you wanted to talk to me?" Weiss looks at him patiently.
"Yes, it's about Y/N." Noir straightforwardly said to her.
"If it's about what happened then you better leave our dorm now. I'm not in the mood to talk about that." Weiss glared at him as she stands up from her chair and turning her back at him.
"Actually, that's what I want to talk about with you. But I promise, this is extremely important." He said.
"I don't wanna hear it." She said, her expression turning into a frown.
"Please, I just want my friend and leader to be able to get back together again." He said.
"We are not together, I rejected him.. But I then realized, I actually like him. And it hurts me to see that I broke his heart." She said the last part silently.
"So you do like him!" He exclaimed.
"B-be quiet!" Weiss immediately turns towards him and said it to him with a blush on her face.
Meanwhile, in a town in Vale, Y/N was with Neo. The two of them are spending their time together since they both have nothing to do in their free time. They walk around in every corner of the city visiting every shop that piqued their interest. On the other hand, Ruby and Yang are searching for their beloved brother. But after a few turns Y/N noticed the two of them walking around as if they're searching for something, which they are.
This cause him to panic a little and try to push Neo somewhere where she can hide. The pink and brown haired lady, stopped him from pushing her and gave him a glare, sighing him to tell why is he doing that.
"My sisters are nearby, so I'm trying to hide you. You know you and them had something in history." He said.
She nodded is understanding went in an alley to hide herself from his sisters. After a minute, the two spotted him and came after him. They both stopped in front of him and grabbed him.
"Woah! What's the big idea, you two?" He asked, completely surprised by their actions.
"There's no time! We need to talk!" Ruby said as they began to pull him.
"Okay, okay! I'll go with you, so stop pulling me." He said getting out of their grasp.
"Hurry, this is important!" Ruby exclaimed and they began to jog at a certain direction.
He followed suit but gazes at Neo, signaling her to follow them but keeping herself out of sight from the two sisters. Neo nodded at him and disappeared, later, the three stopped in a park. They all started to take their breaths until they recover from the running.
"So what is it?" Y/N was the first to speak among them after the running.
"It's about you and Weiss, we want you two to go back to what you used to be." Yang said.
"Of all the important things you wanted to talk about, why that?" He asked, quite unsatisfied by Yang's words.
"We're sick of you two not making contact with each other, it's been two weeks! Yet you both never had a normal conversation within those weeks, we were worried about you and Weiss." Yang explained.
"I know you are worried about your brother and teammate with our current relationship, but do know your boundaries." He said to them.
"But, we want you and Weiss to talk!" Ruby exclaimed.
"I probably won't be doing that any time soon, at least not now. She probably hates me for confessing to her." He said looking down for a bit.
"No she doesn't! We know that she will never hate you for something like that! Maybe she's just feeling afraid to talk to you personally as well, so you won't be sure until you find it out. So go talk to her!" Ruby said to him.
"I'm not going to talk to her for the time being until I feel like I want to." He said turning his back on them and walking away.
"Y/N! At least give it a try! You'll never know what she actually felt on that day." Yang convinced him.
"There you three are!" Noir's voice was heard.
They all turn to the direction where the voice came from and saw Noir, and alongside him is none other than Weiss.
"Noir! Weiss! You're here!" Ruby shouted.
"Y/N! There's someone who wants to talk to you, buddy." Noir gazes at him with seriousness.
Y/N was surprised to see him and Weiss. He doesn't know what to do, he gathered some bit of courage and looks at Weiss, whom also feels nervous.
"Why do you wa-" His sentence was cut off.
Out of nowhere, Neo appeared in front of Y/N, preventing Weiss from getting closer to him.
"Neo! What are you doing?! You're supposed to prevent yourself from being seen." Y/N tried to scold her.
"Who are you?" Weiss asked her.
Neo didn't respond and just gave her a slight glare. Ruby, Yang and Noir stared at Neo for a bit until Ruby began to make a noise.
"Ahhh! You're that girl who was with Roman during that night!" Ruby said.
"That's her?!" Yang was completely shocked at this.
"Neo, you need to get out of here." Y/N said to her.
Neo turns back at him and to their surprise, she goes beside him and hugged his right arm while still expressing her glare at them. The five of them had the same reaction, but Weiss' suddenly turned into a saddened one.
"Oh, I guess I don't need to explain it to you anymore." She said looking down where her face can be barely seen.
"No Weiss, this isn't what you think it is!" Y/N tried to explain.
But Weiss only looked up and gave him a teary glare, which shocked him. She then exits the park, making Noir chase after her.
"Hey Weiss! Come back!" He yelled before disappearing in the scene.
Ruby and Yang just stared at him with worried expressions before following Noir to go after Weiss.
After they are gone, Neo let go of his arm and stood in front of him. He lets out a deep sigh, then he looks at her with a saddened face.
"Why did you do it?" He asked.
Neo only shook her head before walking past him, he then realized his vision is slightly blurry. He moves his hand to his eye and found out that he was almost about to cry. Wiping out the tear, he then walks out of the park with Neo who was following behind him.
