Neptune dumps Weiss and she's left with no date to the dance, the reader steps in instead

"Weiss?" I pulled up a chair next to her as she nervously fiddled with the arrangements on the table. 

"Hey, (Y/n)." Weiss mumbled, her whole heiress demeanor gone.

"Yang told me what happened, Neptune sucks." 

"I don't know why I got my expectations up, I should have known better."

"Weiss, don't say that. It's not your fault, it's his fault. Who would ditch you? You're funny, you're kind (when you want to be), you care about everyone around you whether you admit it or not, and you're really pretty." 

Weiss's cheeks flushed pink, "Thank you, but why didn't Neptune want to go with me then?"

"Who knows? He's an idiot! His semblance is water attraction, his name is Neptune, and yet he's scared of water!" 

Weiss laughed, finally smiling, "You're right, (Y/n), I should be more confident in myself. I am a Schnee after all."

"Now, that's the Schnee I know! Now, let's dance!" I said, standing up and offering Weiss my hand. 

"Y-You wanna dance together?" Weiss asked, blushing even harder now as the song changed to a slow one. 

"I would be honored if the Weiss Schnee, heiress of the Schnee Dust Company, danced with me." I teased. 

Weiss rolled her eyes, "Don't make me regret dancing with you." She replied, taking her hand in mine. 

"You won't, I'm an amazing dancer." 

I pulled Weiss closer to me. I could barely hear the music over my own rapidly beating heart. I can't believe I'm this close to Weiss. She smells so good and she looks so pretty, I can feel my face get red every time I look at her. 

"Did you take a dance class? You're amazing." I whispered. 

"All Schnees know how to dance since we host so many parties." She responded, "I think I may be more of an amazing dancer than you." She teased. 

"Are you sure about that?" I asked, putting my hand on Weiss's lower back and my other hand slightly higher as I leaned her back to dip her. 

Weiss held onto me tighter, our faces were centimeters apart. I pulled us back up as the song stopped, awkwardly separating from her, "Y-You're a really good dancer." I stuttered out. 

"You too." Weiss replied, frowning once again, "I'll see you later, (Y/n), I'm going to go talk to Yang." I nodded, waving goodbye. 

Why am I such an idiot? I had a chance to kiss her and I didn't take it. Should I have taken it? She liked Neptune, I don't even know if she's gay. Even if she is gay, I don't know if she likes me. She's also just getting over Neptune. I'm such an idiot. 

"(Y/N)!" Yang called out, walking towards me, her eyes a mix of red and purple. 

"What did I do?! Don't punch me again!" I said, taking a step back. 

"I only punched you because you lost a bet." She reminded, "That's not why we're talking! What happened between you and Weiss? That's my honorary little sister that you're messing with!" 

"What are you talking about? All we did was dance!"

"That's all?" Yang questioned, suddenly looking confused as her eyes returned to its regular purple color, "Why did she look so sad then?" Yang mumbled to herself, "Whatever you did or didn't do, go fix it! She's on the balcony looking all mopey again. I'm only prepared for regular Weiss and angry Weiss, not whatever this is!"

"Okay!" I said, walking as fast as I could in my uncomfortable formal shoes up the stairs to the balcony.

I peaked onto the balcony and saw Weiss looking over the railing at the sky as Neptune did the same two feet away from her. I couldn't hear them, but I waited on the steps for them to be done. Did he come to apologize? Is he re-asking her out? Was she sad because of Neptune?

I could feel an aching pain in my head begin to form as I tried to figure out why Weiss was feeling this way. 

Neptune suddenly dashed down the stairs next to me. I couldn't see his face, so I had no idea how that conversation went or even what it was really about. I waited a few moments to see if Weiss would follow, but she never did. I stood up and dusted myself off and attempted to build up the courage to approach Weiss on the balcony. 

Weiss turned, her eyes slightly teary, "(Y/n), did you also come out here to watch the stars?" She asked. 

"Yeah.." I lied, approaching the railing. 

"I feel like the sky always clears my mind." Weiss said, letting out a deep sigh, "When I was in Atlas, I used to sit on the ledge of my window and look up at the sky, it was comforting. It gave me hope. It was the only thing in all of Atlas that didn't feel like it was owned by my father."

"I feel the same way when I look at the sky. It's calm and the stars are so pretty, I get lost in them sometimes and it clears my mind completely." 

Weiss smiled, "All that Neptune drama disrupted my night, I'm glad the balcony is so quiet." 

Finally, an opportunity to ask, "I saw he came up here, what was that all about?"

"He finally came looking after me, after flirting with all of those girls. He asked me out again and I said no." Weiss's voice raised slightly, "No one disrespects me. I told him just that."

"I'm proud." I replied, smiling, "I don't know what anyone sees in him --- No offense." 

"It's fine. If I am being honest, I think I was looking for a distraction." Weiss admitted, her gaze never straying from the sky above us. 

"A distraction?" I questioned. I knew what she meant. I knew what we were both thinking. 

"A distraction." She confirmed; not saying what I wanted her to say, what she wanted to say. 

"Weiss," She turned to face me, both of us somehow closer to each other than how we started off, "I like you."

Weiss inched slightly forward, her chest pressed against mine as she looked up at me. Her bright blue eyes meeting mine as the music softly played in the background. My hands made their way to her waist, tightly holding on --- I never wanted to let her go. Her arms wrapped around my neck as we both leaned in. I felt her soft lips on mine; they were warm, a nice contraxt to her cold hands on the back of my neck. 

She pulled away, both of us smiling, "Took you long enough, dolt."
