Ruby was working on Crescent Rose for what seemed the umpteenth time in the past three hours. Yang as the older sister was concerned at how distant and preoccupied Ruby seemed to have gotten since their return from capturing Roman Torchwick.
Yang knocked on the door frame beside her.
"Hey little sis" no response. Yang huffed and went to put her hand over Ruby's working ones.
"Ruby you've been at this for days, Crescent Rose is fine and nothing bad is going to happen things have been pretty quiet lately so please come get some food and have fun with us"
"I can't I'm not a little kid anymore I got a team I need to look out for "Ruby ran her greasy hand through her hair. Yang looked at her baby sister and sighed. She left the shed and came back with a fried chicken breast some corn and mashed potatoes.
"Eat and by that I mean you're sitting on this sofa now and you're going to eat" Yang said pointing at the beat up sofa in the corner while holding on to the plate with her right hand. Ruby grumpily got the plate out of her sisters grasp and sat down to eat.
"Happy" Ruby grumbled.
Yang smirked " Very now could you please tell me what's going on with you? You've been very distant with everyone, you have been keeping yourself cooped up here and I'm really starting to get worried"
Ruby didn't answer she did not dare look at her sister in the eye. No how could she. She just swallowed a piece of chicken wiped her face with her sleeve and said " nothing I just want to be prepared to defend my team and protect them"
Yang looked at her" well we can protect ourselves and each other, Ruby is going to be alright why don't you take a break, for now at least" Ruby looked at her sister and nodded but internally she was screaming. How , why. Why did she have to see Yang in that intimate way that night, why couldn't she stop thinking about her sisters soft moans and look on her face. Sure she was just masturbating obviously but she could not get the image off her head. Now, now she had started developing feelings she shouldn't for her older sister, but she did and here she was trying to keep busy as to not do or say something that could ruin their relationship.
Yang went up to Ruby and hugged her bit Ruby instantly stiffen. Yang noticed but didn't make a fuss about it instead she pushed some of Ruby's hair away from her face looking at her silver eyes with her lilac ones.
" We're going to be okay, you're going to be okay come on we've faced worse before we are team RWBY ! Nothing can stop us" Yang gave Ruby a peck on her lips and smiled her mega watt smile. Ruby blushed and tried to keep a steady heart beat, she knew the peck was sisterly but still her view of her sister had somehow changed and she felt like crawling out of her skin.
Yang was still very worried, but decided to let it go for now. She waited till Ruby had finished her food and took her by the hand to her teammates and JNPR to watch some movies together in the small TV room.
Ruby walked hand in hand with her sister no problem, but inside she wondered how long until even that gesture was a problem as everything else seemed to be.
"Hey guys I was able to get her out of the cave" Yang said giving a triumphant smile. Weiss quickly came and hugged Ruby and whispered in her ear " Been worried" Ruby hugged her friend back.
Weiss grabbed Ruby's hand and made her sit with her and Pyrrha. "Hello Ruby so glad you made it this time, hate to say Nora ate all the pancakes"
Ruby shook her head and kept quiet as she watched whatever Nora and Jaune where playing.
Yang stayed talking to Blake in the background, when she finally called everyone to start the movie. They watched Imagine Me You. It didn't help Ruby that it was about two women finding each other as one got married. Ruby sighed and closed her eyes, but she tried breathing exercises and soon she had relaxed enough that she was falling asleep mostly due to exhaustion.
Yang looked over and saw her sister had fallen asleep while watching the movie she sighed internally and relaxed knowing that at least now her sister had eaten properly and was starting to relax. Still though, what on earth could be bothering her so much she wondered. Yang let it go for now, but she soon would start doing her detective big sister work.
