This is the first chapter of my idea of the friendship between Black and Ruby. This was inspired by my best friend and somewhat written by my cousin. So enjoy and I don't own anything but the idea. Rooster Teeth does. So enjoy!
Out of my seventeen faunus years I would never think I would be on a team with an immature brat, my worst enemy, and a hot-headed brawler. But, the truth is, I love every one of them. Ruby maybe . . . hyperactive at times but she's caring and a passionate leader. Weiss is difficult, yes but her heart of ice did melt. Yang is very rash and always starts a fight (which I have to end on that note) but she's a loyal partner. Each one of them shows a quality that makes them special and all the more lovable. There's only one problem now, said brash brawler and ice queen are going on the weekly grocery run and decided to leave me with a sugar filled Ruby.
"Please Ruby," I couldn't help but groan as I rub my temples that were oh so throbbing, "Just sit down for a few moments." To be honest, I never thought I would want to rip all of hair off in a matter of 83 seconds. Ruby sighed loudly and flopped up onto her unstable swaying bunk.
"Aww but Blake!" The young girl whined, "Lighten up a bit! You've been grumpy since the day you ran off because of your kitty ears that are just sooooooo cute!" I buried my nose deeper into my book. It's not like I've been trying not to remember those dreadful few days.
"That's because it feels like everyone can see through my bow." Ruby hopped off her bed and crawled over like a little child pretending to be a dog of some-sort. I could feel her eyes staring at the headpiece perfectly placed around my delicate ears.
"I don't see why you should feel that way. Blake you are well, Blake. Whether or not you have kitty ears." The scythe wielder reached up and gently glided her fingers across the smooth silk ribbon. I couldn't help but flinch. She pulled away slightly then touched my ear again. "In fact it makes you perfect in my opinion. Not to mention I think cats are so much better than dogs." Wait a second, did Ruby Rose just - she's scratching right at the base of my ears. Ugh, who am I kidding? It feels so nice and comforting.
"R-Ruby, you don't have to-" She's scratching a little harder. Who knew Ruby had a way with words and finger movements. What is this? Does my own throat deceive me! Stop letting this purring nonsense continue!
"Aww, Blake! I didn't know you acted like a kitty too!" Ruby hopped up on to my bed. Sadly my book has been forgotten. I was really liking the plot line too. I must defend my book's honor!
"Y-you fiend. How could you?" I can feel Ruby smile at my accusations. I must end this madness! "How could you use such tactics to destroy my composure?" Ruby's delicate fingers pull away. Now my ears are cold. Why must this world be so cruel?
"Blake, no need to act all tough. As team leader I declare you need to be more open with us. No need to hide anymore. We have your back." Does one dare look at Team RWBY's fearless leader? One indeed does. Her face is so peaceful and happy, so innocent. It's amazing how much belief she has for everyone. I now know why Professor Ozpin but so much faith in her.
"As long as you never speak of this behind the ear scratching. Especially to Weiss and Yang. If they catch wind of this, they won't let me live it down." Ruby giggled. Whether or not she thought my statement was funny or the twenty cookies she consumed were still in her system, I do not know.
"Deal." Ruby hopped off the bed once there was arguing heard from the hallway. "Yay! They're back! Do you think they bought any more cookies?!" It's heart breaking to crush her spirits but, it's better that I do before Weiss can.
"I really doubt it. After the cookie crisis, you will probably only get a cookie if you defeat all the Grimm." I swung my legs over the edge of my bed as I heard Yang curse under her breath as she fought to unlock the door. Funny. I don't remember the door getting locked.
"I've returned with gifts from the gods!" Yang declared as she kicked down the door. I really hope that the hinges will be able to be fixed this time. When I look at the doorway Yang is only carrying one bad while Weiss is struggling with about five. As much of an amusing sight it is to see the heiress to struggle I can't let her stay like that. Once we got the bags on the table I sat back down on my bed.
"Hey! Guess what I found out about Blake today!" Oh no. Ruby you said you wouldn't do it! Yang and Weiss turn with interest. No no no no. This is bad. Really really bad. I have two options now. Shoot for the door or jump out the window. Two problems with those two options. Yang is standing in front of the doorway which means I have a better chance of bursting through a brick wall. And jumping out the window would mean a long way down since our dorm room is on the fourth floor. Decisions decisions.
"And what would that be?" Weiss, I can basically hear your smirk. I shall get that ice princess back. Okay Blake. You're running out of time. You need to act now!
"Blake likes it when you scratch behind her ears!" Ruby announced as she pointed her finger in my direction. Quick! I must make my escape! I quickly burst through the window and plummet toward the ground.
"Damn you Ruby Rose!" I shouted at her. Once I roll with the impact I take off towards who knows where. I need to get out of here and fast! I will get that treacherous girl back for what she has done! You can count on it Ruby for my name is Blake Belladonna!
The rest of team RWBY stood at the window and watched as Blake ran away. Ruby smiled proudly.
"I'm so glad I crossed my fingers when she asked if I would keep that a secret."
"Ruby! You can't just promise something and then go back on your word, you dunce!" Weiss scoffed.
"Well we all promised to not keep anymore secrets from each other. Not to mention we would have found out sooner or later." Yang pointed out and made her way to the bags of groceries. Ruby and Weiss murmured their agreements.
"I wonder when she will come back." Ruby wondered out loud.
