"You know…" Ruby leaned against the wall of their apartment, arms crossed as she smiled down at her girlfriend, currently kneeling down next to the bundle of fur next to her. "I really wish we had as good a first impression as you do with these little guys."
Weiss ignored Ruby, rolling her eyes at the remark as she pet the small terrier in front of her, currently rolling on its belly as she pet it for the tenth straight minute.
"Weissss," Ruby walked towards her girlfriend, drawing out her name in a whine as she let out a huff, causing the white-haired girl to finally turn towards her, smirk prominent on her face. "Don't ignore me!"
"Honestly Ruby, you're worse than the dogs with how much noise you make," Weiss responded, standing up and walking slowly towards Ruby, making the raven-haired girl back up into a wall, pressed closely against Weiss, feeling her face heat up before closing her eyes as Weiss kissed her, slowly and lovingly.
Quickly wrapping her arms around her waist, they continued for a moment before parting, foreheads pressed against each other, soft smiles across their faces in a silent, intimate moment between the two before a bark behind them brought them back to reality.
Separating quickly, Weiss walked over, grabbing a bone from the counter and leaning back to play with their new foster dog, Rocky.
"Oooh, I'm so sorry Rocky! Don't worry, I still love you!" Weiss said, scratching the terrier behind its ears, causing it to wag its tail, bringing a smile to both girls faces.
Ruby shook her head at the scene in front of her, smiling softly at the intense happiness radiating off of Weiss.
The pair had moved in together only a year beforehand, after the war with Salem had finally ended, and as Ruby figured out a reasonable hunting schedule that meshed well with Weiss' duties as CEO of the Schnee Dust Company, Weiss had suggested they adopt a pet.
Ruby wasn't surprised in the slightest, having fond memories of their days at Beacon when her girlfriend had first met Zwei - whom the CEO would forever refer to as her "first love". However, when Weiss instead suggested they foster dogs, helping them find their true home, Ruby was shocked; that is until she remembered the soft spot Weiss had for animals, and how her desire to make everyone not feel alone anymore expanded to even household pets.
So, she agreed, and time and time again, Ruby and Weiss invited different dogs into their home, taking care of them, and adopting them in their hearts.
And because of this, with a smile, Ruby looked upon every animal with so much fondness, knowing the deep joy it brought Weiss, and how it always brought the pair closer together in the end - something she would always support.
As Rocky barked once more, Ruby kneeled down to play with him, sneaking a kiss to Weiss in the process, she remembered how excited she always was to help.
...even if the dogs made a better first impression than Ruby ever had.
