She arrived and was greeted by her teammates, who were eager to know why Ironwood wanted to speak to her, and why it took so long. She explained what had happened, and everyone was relieved to hear that nothing bad had happened.
It was fairly late in the afternoon now, not leaving too much time to get invested in something before they'd go off to have dinner. They ended up assuming their usual roles: Blake reading her book, Yang and Ruby playing games on their scrolls, Weiss and Neo cuddling in bed. It wasn't long before Jaune dropped by to pick them up so both teams could eat together as they usually did. Dinner was fairly uneventful, until a nervous looking Sun was pushed over to the table the group was sitting at by the rest of his team.
"Hey guys, what's up?" Blake greeted them, laughing at Sun's resistance to coming over.
Neptune lightly elbowed him in the rib, "Come on man, go for it."
Yang, Nora, Ruby and Pyrrha all squealed as they saw the look Sun's teammates were giving him, and knew exactly why they'd come over, and why he was acting so strange. Sun was quiet for a few seconds before Scarlett pushed him closer to Blake. The Faunus girl raised an eyebrow as he laughed nervously, putting a hand behind his head.
"So uh," he started, looking back at his teammates for reassurance before continuing. "Are you... busy tonight?"
Blake smiled, "Not at all, why?"
"Well, I uh... was wondering if you'd wanna go out somewhere with me? Ya know, like a date." Both team RWBY and JNPR gasped in delight, looking at Blake to get her answer.
She stood up and gave Sun a kiss on the cheek, "I would love to. Come pick me up around seven?"
He blushed, not having expected her to agree so easily, or at all for that matter, "Sounds great. I'll see you then."
He gave an awkward wave goodbye as team SSSN departed, and Blake sat back down and turned back to the rest of the group, who were smiling from ear to ear.
Yang giggled, "Well that took a month and a half too long."
"Oh shut it, Blondie," Blake replied, getting lost in her thoughts about Sun. "Besides, you're just jealous."
Yang smirked, "Oh really? Do go on."
"You're the only one of us that's single now."
Ruby pouted, "Hey, what about me? I'm still single."
"Yeah, but you don't count, you're fifteen," her sister replied. "And no, Blake, I'm not jealous. I was just teasing you."
Blake innocently shrugged, "If you say so."
They went back to eating, with Blake continuing to be distracted. Neo was surprised to see her act this way. Blake didn't do much in the way of disguising how she felt about Sun, but this sort of bubbliness was very uncharacteristic of her. What was even more surprising though, was how Yang was acting. She seemed distracted as well, but looked sad, like something was troubling her, and Neo knew what that thing was.
Wow, I guess Blake must've gotten to her, Neo thought, giving her blonde teammate a sympathetic look. I wonder why that would bother her so much, she always seems happy just going out and hooking up. Could be that she really does want a boyfriend. Or girlfriend, can't make that assumption. If she does, I can only imagine how seeing all of us with someone would feel. Maybe I could try to set her up with someone.
The rest of the meal went by without much else happening, and afterwards both teams returned to their dorms. Ruby ended up following JNPR back to their room to take Jaune's place for a game of Remnant, since he wasn't feeling awake enough to continue the team's game from earlier. Meanwhile, the rest of team RWBY went back to their own dorm. Sun arrived exactly at seven to pick up Blake, who had been anxiously pacing up until he knocked on the door. Neo looked over at Yang after Blake and Sun had left, and couldn't help noticing how upset she looked.
"Hey Yang, you alright?" she asked, making her concern obvious. The blonde perked up immediately, trying to hide how she was feeling.
"Of course. Why wouldn't I be?" she cheerfully replied. Neo narrowed her eyes, making it clear to Yang she knew what was bothering her. "Really, I'm fine. It's nothing, trust me."
Neo shook her head, "If you're sure. Promise you'll tell us if something is really wrong?"
"Promise," Yang said, hopping off her bed and grabbing her purse from the dresser. "Aight, I'm going out got the night. Catch you guys later!" She dashed out the door before anyone could protest, leaving Neo and Weiss by themselves. Weiss sat on her bed, going over the tournament bracket on her scroll, while Neo changed into her pajamas.
Weiss sighed, "You know that spending this whole afternoon goofing off means that tomorrow will be all training, right?"
"Not likely," Neo replied, taking a seat next to the heiress. "If I tire myself out tomorrow, then I'll be screwed on the first day of matches. We'll definitely do some training, but let's not overdo it."
Weiss huffed, folding her arms, "Fine, but I get to determine our schedule for the day."
"Sounds fine to me," Neo smiled, giving Weiss a peck on the cheek. "So what do you wanna do? Looks like we've got the room to ourselves for a while."
Weiss rolled her eyes and pulled Neo back in, connecting their lips again and playfully nipping at Neo's bottom lip. She cupped Neo's face with one hand, and placed the other on the girl's thigh as she pulled away, "Take a wild guess."
Neo grinned and dove on top of her girlfriend, pushing her down onto the bed. She didn't know it, but Weiss had enjoyed their first intimate night together more than she let on. Having always dreamt of what her first time would be like, and not having been in any previous relationships, her first time being with someone she loved as much as Neo made it all the more magical to her.
She was glad to have had her first experience be gentle and romantic, but more she wanted to try things Neo's way. Or even more precisely, Harley's way. She didn't want to go as far as to include the rope and other things Neo had mentioned, rather, she wanted the same rougher treatment she had given to Neo. She wanted to go hot and heavy, and made her intentions clear as she kissed hungrily along Neo's neck, sending shivers of pleasure down the girl's spine.
"Wait, hold on," Neo said suddenly, pulling away from Weiss. "We probably shouldn't get too wild, I don't want Harley trying to take over again. I don't think I'd have the energy after fighting it to keep going."
Weiss grinned, blushing slightly, "Actually, I wouldn't mind her paying a visit..."
Neo's eyes widened, "Are you being serious? Do you not remember what I said she's into?"
"I remember," the heiress replied, pulling Neo back to her. "It's just, I've always been treated like a princess. People have always acted like I'd break if they touched me, and I don't want that here. Granted, I don't want all the crazy whips and things Harley's into, but I want to try things her way, at least once."
She can't be serious, Neo thought, staring into Weiss' hopeful eyes. I mean... Harley didn't do anything too bad while we were training today, I guess it couldn't to... No, this is crazy, Weiss would get hurt, I just know it. I know she's tougher than she looks, but not in this area. I could go rougher on her myself, but... No, Harley would take over for sure... I guess it'll happen eventually, and if Weiss really wants it to be now, I suppose there's no reason to fight it.
Neo still looked very unsure, but couldn't fight the sad eyes her girlfriend was giving her, "Alright, fine. But don't say I didn't warn you."
Weiss' face lit up, and she brought Neo in for a kiss that started passionately, and turned to an embrace of pure lust. Neo still was a little apprehensive letting Harley take control here, but it was a little too late at this point to take back her decision. It felt very strange to let the transition happen without fighting it, at least outside of combat. Apart from in a fight, it was very rare that she would willingly let Harley through. The transition was quick, with Weiss not even realising it had happened until Harley pulled away and gave the heiress a wicked grin that only she wore.
"Hey there, honey," Harley greeted her. "Ready for me to rock your world?"
Weiss took a deep breath and nodded, "Yes. But, no accessories, or anything weird. Just you and me."
Harley's smile only widened, "You've got it, babe."
"What's wrong?" Weiss asked as they settled under the covers, noticing that Harley had her eyes tightly shut after finishing.
"Huh... I didn't expect to switch back just then," Neo said with a smile, crawling up so that her face was level with Weiss'. "Harley takes over at the start of a fight, and I guess I take back over at the end of a climax. That was absolutely incredible."
The heiress smiled back, giving Neo a soft kiss on the lips, "That was far more than incredible." She pulled Neo back in, running her hands along the girl's body. Neo did the same, bringing her hands up to cup Weiss' face, but they were quickly slapped away. "No no no, you will wash that hand before it gets anywhere near my face!"
Neo giggled, "Fine, fine." She went into the bathroom and washed up, giving extra attention to her left hand, and returned to see Weiss staring off at the wall, a smile on her face that seemed more appropriate to be worn by Ruby. "What's that look for?"
"Oh nothing," she replied, snapping back to reality and beckoning Neo over. "I'm just thinking about how lucky I am to have you."
"Let's hope you still do at the end of the festival."
"Don't say that!" Weiss snapped as Neo climbed back under the covers. "Don't doubt yourself so much, you can do this."
Neo smiled, "Thanks, I'm glad you have so much confidence in me. I love you."
"I love you too, and I always will."
The couple lay there together, not even caring that they were still naked. Neo let out a content sigh as she wrapped herself in Weiss' arms, pulling the heiress in closer to feel the warmth of her skin against her own. Beyond exhausted, she was asleep within seconds, her body needing as much time as it could to prepare for the tomorrow, which she knew would be even more strenuous than today was. The tournament loomed closer in her mind, and she still didn't know whether or not she would be able to perform as well as she needed to, even with the extra help she was receiving. All of that seemed insignificant right now though, because for her, just being with Weiss was enough to take all of her fears away.
