  Summary

  Ruby Rose is in love with Weiss Schnee, but she's smart enough to know she doesn't stand a chance. As Weiss begins to fall for other people, she knows she shouldn't care, but still cant help but feel broken. Even if she had an opportunity, she knew she wasn't good enough for Weiss, She would never feel the same.

  Blake Belladonna doesn't realize she's falling for Yang Xiao Long until the moment she can't have her, and it hurts more than she could've ever imagined.

  Both of them find each the other, running away and broken. And perhaps they found something they didn't know that they needed.
