#the chicken probably ships whiterose and that's why it gave them so much grief

[iwillwalk500miles]

Your writing is the absolute best have you ever thought about a whiterose highschool/college AU? Like any headcanons of something?

gonna be real with you right now i don’t fucks with high school au’s because now that i’m almost finished with it i just want to repress and writing an au would absolutely not help with that lmaooo. i do have a couple headcannons for a college au though... this got kinda long tbh

alrighty first things first, they don’t get along at first, like Weiss is not having it with little miss ‘i started college earlier than anyone else and am constantly trying to show off how smart i am’

i mean think about it, she’s Weiss 

she likes to show off sometimes, and doesn’t get why Ruby wouldn’t want to - not to mention the fact that her pride runs deep

so except for a couple snide remarks and not so subtle annoyed looks, Weiss doesn’t intend to ever actually associate with Ruby

which suits Ruby just fine, because she doesn’t want to deal with (while she might be kind of pretty) the snootiest girl on campus

i imagine they share... maybe one or two of the same classes? they’d probably have to be some of the basic ones because Ruby has her heart set on engineering and Weiss would be undecided between going into business (like her dad wants) or pursuing a degree in chemistry

they start to get along when they both get trapped in one of the labs, Weiss walks in on Ruby struggling with a chicken and is very confused

“It’s not what it looks like!” “What exactly is it supposed to look like??”

it turns out Yang, who probs has something to do with ag, asked her to watch one of the more unruly chickens and it escaped

cue the chicken once again escaping the lab and somehow locking them both in there

it does not go well... at first

Weiss rips into Ruby for loosing to a chicken of all things and Ruby calls her stuck up and tells her that it was her fault that the chicken escaped in the first place

(which it technically was but Weiss had elected to ignore that)

Ruby calls her princess and Weiss retorts by calling her a peasant or something (i don’t know she’s rich, okay? rich people call people peasants, right?)

they manage to get a call out with Ruby’s phone, but they’re told that the chicken (evil, clever, conniving) somehow managed to free a lot of the other animals so they’re stuck in there for a couple of hours with each other

somehow it’s Weiss who breaks the ice by asking, “do you think the chicken gave me salmonella?” and Ruby starts laughing thinking that it’s a joke

(it’s really not)

but Weiss doesn’t mind because she’d prefer Ruby laughing than more arguing; it’s not that she thinks the sound is pretty or anything like that, it’s more like she’s very tired and does not have the energy to fight back

which is a lie, because Weiss is a repressed nerd

they get to talking and find that they get along surprisingly well considering they were on the verge of murdering each other just minutes before

they’re friends after that, sort of, because now Ruby starts bringing her extra snacks and Weiss retaliates by taking an extra coffee to class for Ruby (whose sleep schedule is the worst and coming from Weiss that’s probably saying something)

then Weiss, because Ruby (not to be outdone) invited her out to coffee, has a sudden crisis like, “wait a minute she’s relatively good looking and she’s asking me to go out with her somewhere... does that mean something?”

So Weiss, who is very much repressed, decided that she was being ridiculous and Ruby didn’t feel that way even though the poor girl was practically shooting her heart eyes every other second

pining, lots and lots of pining

obviously actual himbo Sun Wukong notices that his friend Weiss has been talking an awful lot about that one girl (who had become notorious for unleashing a hell chicken on campus) and starts getting suspicious

when he finally meets Ruby and notices how smitten they are with each other he decides to try and set them up because it actually kind of hurt to watch them dance around each other like, “damn girl, just make a fucking move already.”

Weiss does not, in fact, make a move

Sun enlists the help of his number one bro/boyfriend Neptune and together they devise a plan to get Ruby and Weiss together

to say it goes wrong would be an understatement

Neptune, in his infinite wisdom, decides that maybe blatantly flirting with Weiss while Ruby was around would kick one of them into gear

it doesn’t work because 1) Weiss so used to Neptune that his pick up lines do not phase her and 2) because Ruby comes to the mistaken impression that they must be dating if Weiss didn’t even so much as pretend to glare at him for saying some, frankly, weird ass shit

probably some more barn animal shenanigans (that chicken has it out for Ruby, she swears, because how else would they end up right back to where they started, trapped in a lab by a chicken when Ruby desperately just wants a little space to get over Weiss because even though she likes her she still wants to be friends

“how’s uh, Neptune?”

“I don’t know, he and Sun went to the beach a couple of days ago, something about having a date despite Neptune’s fear of sand... why are you asking?”

“Wait Sun and Neptune are on a date?”

“Yes?”

“And that doesn’t...” Ruby pauses for a moment, and then thinks ‘polyamory is a thing, Rose, respect it’

(she’s so oblivious i love her)

“I mean, they are boyfriends.”

“right.” 

“it’s nauseating, honestly, I can’t catch a break with those two and their pda.”

“uh huh.”

“i mean, I think if i was in a relationship I’d be able to have some restraint with the whole--”

“Wait.”

“What?”

“You aren’t... in a relationship?”

“No?”

“Oh.” Ruby feels a little dumb, after that. Then, because she has no self control, “do you want to be?”

“What?”

“do you want to be, in a relationship i mean.”

“why are you--”

“i just, do you want to be in a relationship with me, maybe?”

they end up making out on one of the tables, no i will not tell you how it happened

after that they jut sort of... fall into each other, not that anything’s really changed much, they still bring each other offerings of food and occasionally Ruby will show Weiss a cool rock she found but other than that the only difference is they kiss sometimes now and their outings are labeled ‘dates’ instead of ‘hanging out’

a lot of people are confused because they thought they were already dating, but whatever it’s fine, go weird chicken girl and her ice queen, you do you yada yada yada

Weiss, contradicting her earlier statements, gives in to every act of pda that Ruby initiates

she’s whipped like that

honestly, anything i write with weiss has to have the rest of the schnees in it so surprise surprise, her siblings show up

some familial angst, Weiss opens up to Ruby about her family (her parents, her siblings) and later down the line Ruby opens up about the problems in her own family (her mom and dad and uncle) and it’s kind of a mess but they love and comfort each other so it works out

i think they’d have a happy ending with each other, occasionally clashing with stresses from school and life in general, but they’d always work it out

they’re in love, and even if they’re a little young and stupid they still got each other, you know?
