Winter Schnee x male reader songfic ( Far Away by Nickelback)

-Your Pov-

Dating a Schnee was difficult. This was something pretty much everyone knew. To date one, it would require a lot of effort and dedication put in. If it was easy, then both of the Schnee sisters would be in a marriage to some fancy rich guy. But, everyone knew that wasn't the case. Dating a Schnee required patience, patience for all the galas they had to attend, patience for all charity events they would have. It required a thick skin as they tended to be very blunt, and sometimes lacked the social grace to avoid saying things that might hurt someone's feelings. And if you were going to meet their father, then you needed an even thicker skin. Both of the Schnees were strong independent women who didn't need a man, and everyone knew it. There was no shortage of flirts at bars who figured this out, and then left when they figured out their usual cheeky one-liners weren't going to work. To most guys, it was intimidating and few bothered to try. It wasn't that the Schnee sisters were elitists, or stuck up. They simply knew what they wanted in a man, and weren't afraid to turn someone down.

Dating Winter Schnee was almost universally accepted to be next to impossible. You needed double the patience to date her, as she was always way on one mission or another, always gone on a deployment for Atlas, or so it seemed to those who had dated her. And, she went to double the galas and charity balls as both a Schnee, and one of the leaders in the Atlas military. Dating her required one to be able to bounce back quickly, or at the very least be better at hiding their feelings, as Winter had no problem listing every undesirable trait in someone, including her partner. And like Weiss, Winter was self-motivated and knew exactly what she wanted and what she didn't. In fact, Winter didn't bother with dates. She could tell almost immediately if she was wasting her time with someone, a fact that irked most young men around her age. And again, it wasn't out of an inflated sense of self worth. The simple fact was this: Young men needed or wanted Winter Schnee more than Winter Schnee needed or wanted young men. Jacques had tried many times to get her to marry someone, perhaps a business partner or a higher up in the Atlas military. But, Winter was unafraid to stand up to anybody, even people perceived as untouchable, such as her father.

And how did you know all this? How did you know how difficult it was to date one of the Schnee sisters? Why did you know it took almost double the effort to date Winter? Why did you know the secrets about dating her any eligible bachelor would kill to know? Because you, (y/n) Nikos were her boyfriend of the last two years. Out of everyone else in the world who would be lucky to have her ( which in your mind was the entire world) she had decided you interested her more than anyone of them, and why she agreed to go on a single date with you. And you had known even back then. When she said you were getting only one chance, she had meant it. That was something else that threw most people off about the Schnee sisters. Men were so used to women saying, things like " this is the last time"or, " you only get one chance" and not meaning it. And so, when Weiss or Winter came along, no one believed them when they said those things. That was one of the main reasons no one else had really been successful in landing in a relationship with one of them. They treated them like they were just normal girls, who stupid tricks and pick-up lines would work on. ( Pick Up lines never work, and much less on one of the Schnees.) But, you had known from the very start with Winter that if she had been unimpressed with you on the date, then that would have been it. You wouldn't get a second date, hell you wouldn't get a call back if you had been unimpressive to her. Because Winter didn't listen to any excuses people would make, and she knew how important her time was. She was unapologetic about that, a fact that threw most people off.

One of the other things that most people couldn't handle about Winter, is that she wore the pants in the relationship. That isn't to say she walked all over you, or was abusive. But, if Winter didn't want to do something, then there was no power on this earth that could make her. It didn't matter how excited you were to potentially do something. If Winter didn't want to partake in it, she would simply say " no" and that was the end of all arguments to be had about it. And if you felt like arguing the point, you were very quickly back to being a single man. And if Winter wanted to do something you didn't, there wasn't an argument. Either you went with her, or she went by herself, and you were back to being single. Of course, you knew that once she knew you, she was more open to compromise. However, most guys were so obsessed with the idea of being dominant in a relationship that they couldn't handle the idea of a woman who knew how to shoot them down.
