															Chapter 5.

"The red knights and the blue knights had been at war for a suuuper long time. Centuries, even!

When each band of knights had formed, they'd been gifted a dragon which they had to protect and defend with their lives.

But in the case of these two armies, they had stolen each other's dragons! The red dragon was now in the possession of the blue knights, and the blue dragon was in the possession of the red knights.

And there was only one way to free them. A magical crystal ball! But it could only free one dragon!

So the red knights valiantly tried to bring the ball past the opposing red knights and into the claws of their own dragon, as the blues vehemently tried to do the same. The knights were willing to risk their own lives for the sake of getting that crystal ball to their dragons to free them.

Oftentimes the knights clashed with members of the opposing army and resulted in both warriors down on their knees as the orb rolled off to some other fighter.

The terrain they were made to cover wasn't without its dangers either! Gross icky slime would ooze up from the ground to make them stumble, mud would suck at their ankles to drag them down, or acid rain would fall from the clouds to blur their vision!

Oh, and also, each band of knights was led by a princess. The princesses were conflicted with themselves, because they were in love with one another. Some part of each girl wanted to let the other succeed in her goal of obtaining they crystal ball. But a much larger part of each princess was burning with the desire to fight, even against her own lover, to put her heart into this battle, to give her all!

One dark and cloudy day, the princesses led their armies onto the battlefield with the captive dragons behind them. After a ton of fighting, the crystal ball had come into possession of the red princess-"

"All right Ruby, I'm going to stop you right there."

"Huuuuh? But this is the best part!"

They were sitting at the lunch table together with their friends surrounding them. Ruby had been bubbling with excitement to read them all this adventure-fantasy story she'd been working on. But Weiss had heard enough.

"You're basically describing a medieval soccer game."

"What? No way! It's much deeper than that!"

"Is it now?"

"It totally is!"

Weiss heaved a sigh.

As the two of them went off on a mini bickering rant, the rest of their friends mused to themselves about the story and got back to eating their lunches. Even Yang went back to flirting with Blake, but not before sending Weiss a suggestive, knowing look. Weiss flushed and grabbed Ruby's arm before standing stiffly.

"May I have a word with you, Ruby?"

"Guess I don't really have a choice!"

Weiss dragged her out of the cafeteria and into the empty hallway, then put a hand to her face.

"You dolt... you even used the same colors for our soccer teams. We'll be lucky if everyone doesn't know about us now."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"The red and blue princesses being in love? Did you honestly think they wouldn't catch on? Especially your sister after she drove us back that night."

"Naaaah, Yang had no clue!" Ruby assured. "She's just been smiling at me as usual. Though she has been asking me every day how you've been, Weiss."

"We're doomed."

"Well I mean... we're gonna tell them eventually, right?"

"I don't think we even have to at this point."

"Aw, Weiss don't be like that~" Ruby reached up to loop both arms around her girlfriend and kissed her lips.

Weiss resisted only for a second, in protest of the affection on school grounds, but Ruby's plump lips were so soft on Weiss' tightly-pursed ones. The kiss relaxed her, had Weiss leaning back against the wall as Ruby leaned forward. Weiss sighed against her mouth before lightly bumping their foreheads together.

"You dolt."

"That's me! C'mon, let's get back inside."

Ruby grabbed Weiss' hand and led her back into the cafeteria. And it felt so nice and natural that Weiss didn't even realize it.

By the time they sauntered back to their friends, hand-in-hand, it was too late to pull away.

Everyone – especially Yang – just smiled up at them and said nothing.
