A/N: As I said in the description, this is my personal take on a fanfiction I had read by PKMN Master Brendan on FicFags Anonymous. Now naturally, this implies that my fic isn't canon to theirs if they continue their story. It's all in good fun, so if they don't want this take on their story up, I'm willing to remove it. I really just wanted to write a RuSa fic and they had a good lead, so I leeched a bit off of that idea. I'm sorry.
Keep in mind, this is my first time actually writing a fanfic, so I'm sorry for literary errors and such. Also I tried my best to stay as "in-character" as possible, but I'm new to this. I always have trouble finding good fluffy stuff of these two, regardless of how canon they are, and they happen to be my favorite pairing. Enjoy!
PS: Pardon the language, just keeping them the way the author did in the story this is based off of.
It had been about a week since Sapphire had basically given Ruby her ultimatum. She called him out saying he was gay. He loudly and angrily denied, causing her to merely ask him to "prove it." Being under her massive amount of pressure, on top of the fact that she had actually dressed DOWN, in order to help possibly "stimulate" a response, caused Ruby to crack and spontaneously slam his lips down onto Sapphire's. One thing lead to another and they ended up experiencing their first time together, though it was a lot rougher than even Sapphire had expected, however she wasn't complaining.
From that moment on, Sapphire more or less considered them to be "going out" or dating or whatever, though she hadn't gotten DIRECT consent from Ruby, in terms of words, that is. Regardless, their lives continued in a relatively normal fashion as it had, aside from them now engaging in more sexual activities, most recently being caught by Ruby's mom right before they were all supposed to share dinner together. On that note, Ruby and Sapphire fled from the embarrassment back to their usual spot in the base.
"Phew, well that couldn't have gone any worse…", Ruby sighed, the reminder of what had just happened painted a thick blush on his face as he pulled his hat down over his face a bit.
"Well sure it could have, if we had been fuckin' we woulda been in a lot more trouble!" Sapphire chirped causing Ruby to give her a look of utter disbelief.
"Speaking of which…What the HELL was that about?" Ruby's voice turned slightly harsher than previous. Sapphire merely tilted her head, as if to say she had no idea what he was talking about.
"You KNEW my mother was outside the door just then, why the hell would you start going at it again?" He was referring to how Sapphire continued her blowjob even with Ruby trying to cover everything up.
She pondered it for a few seconds. Even she didn't know what came over her in that instance.
"Well I guess this's like payback for when you kep' poundin' inta me even when I was trying to talk to Crys through her bathroom door." She wore a bit of a smirk recalling how humorous the event was looking back.
"This is a little different, Sapph! This was in front of my mother," She could practically see the steam emitting from Ruby's head as he belted that out, though just as he looked at her, his angry expression was wiped clean. He simply sighed, "What am I going to do with you?" slightly smiling out of the corner of his mouth, shaking his head lightly.
His change of mood was refreshing; he didn't appear to be mad at Sapphire after all. In that moment he lightly lifted his arm, attempting to signal her over to the bean bag he was sitting on. Puzzled, she moved over and sat down was as he rested his arm around her. Sapphire, surprisingly, began to blush ever so slightly, which was kind of funny since they had been doing far more risqué things than cuddling over this past week. Acting like a normal couple was rare in the case of these two.
"Listen, Sapphire, I know you've always talked about how I'd forgotten about all the things that happened on Mirage Island when we were kids. I just want to let you know, I never actually forgot." He paused slightly to gauge her expression, "I'd been lying to you about it and I'm sorry." Ruby wore a distraught look; it seemed hard for him to admit to this, especially after things with him and Sapphire were finally starting to come together, no thanks to him in initiation, that is.
Sapphire sat there next to him, extremely confused. She was trying her hardest to repress her impulses to clock him in the face for lying to her for so long, especially about something so important to their relationship! After a minute or so of silence and deep sighs on Ruby's behalf, Sapphire turned to face him.
"I…don't understand, though. Why wouldya go through all that trouble'a faking this whole time just to hide something ya actually meant?" Her eyes started swelling slightly. 'Great, I'm gonna cry right in front'a him. I gotta try to control myself…' She held her breath in an attempt to stop her emotions but Ruby had already caught on to her behavior. He lifted his hands up to her face to wipe the oncoming tears and sighed.
"It was stupid and selfish. I never should have toyed with you, but, I was scared. I was scared that if we started being more serious in our relationship, especially so young, I would do something wrong. I saw what happened with Master and Winona; I was worried that the same thing would happen to us. Silly, isn't it?" Ruby chuckled pathetically, trying to lighten his tone to make her feel better. It didn't help any, really.
Sapphire's face turned angry, he mentally prepped himself for her to yell or punch or anything "Sapphire-esque" by closing his eyes tightly. Nothing of that sort came however. Instead Sapphire just buried her face in his chest and lightly hit her fist against him.
'Ugh, I'm just going to keep digging myself deeper into this hole, aren't I?' Ruby sighed inwardly.
"Ya IDIOT." Sapphire mumbled into Ruby's chest, continuing to beat her fist onto him. " Did ya ever even consider how I felt this whole time?"
Now he felt even guiltier. What he had done was dumber than anything he could have done if he had just told the truth. He was realizing just how stupid he had been all these years, too bad he was too late. He had to say it. He needed to tell her how he truly felt, but now? Would she accept him after he admitted to lying all these years?
"I guess this would be a bad time to say 'I love you', huh?" He chuckled again. He didn't have the best sense of humor, Sapphire noted. Not only that, but for someone as concerned about looks and beauty as Ruby, that was the least romantic way to confirm feelings for someone.
"What the hell is this about?" She looked up at him, angrily.
Ruby was taken slightly aback by her harshness, 'I guess it really was a bad time.' Or could it be she really didn't feel the way he did after all? It had to have been because he held out on telling her his feelings for so long; she must not feel the way she used to, his face slowly turning more serious.
"What do you mean? I said I love you. That speaks for itself, doesn't it?" Ruby said, trying not to sound quite as annoyed as he was, but he was almost as bad as she was when it came to controlling his temper. Almost.
She sighed then finally started laughing a little at their petty argument, "I jus' think it's funny, someone like yerself saying something like that in such'a unromantic way," He just stared at her. His facial expression stayed completely and utterly confused. Sapphire then leaned up to his face and placed her lips on his, closing her eyes. He openly accepted the gesture and placed his hands around her once more.
Now it was her turn to be the romantic one. Go figure. She broke the kiss and looked up at Ruby whom still hadn't opened his eyes as their lips lingered off of one another.
"I love ya, too," she blushed at the words coming out of her own mouth, "ya pansy!" she finished, under her breath, hugging him tightly. He chuckled at her finishing statement.
"B'sides, we've been having sex'n stuff all week. D'ya think I thought we were just sex friends 'er somethin'?" She puffed her cheeks a bit.
There she went again, talking about their sexual ventures so casually, which never failed to paint the blush back on to Ruby's face, but his mood was significantly lifted due to her previous statement of her love for him in return.
"What? No, no, of course not, I know neither of us are like that," He shook his hands to emphasize his words, "I just thought you should hear it straight from the source instead of just assuming." Ruby wore a silly grin.
At seeing his face, Sapphire couldn't help but wear the same toothy smile. It was odd not arguing with him, granted they weren't always mad at each other, but it seemed as if conversations like this were something to be noted since it wasn't exactly common for them to be so calm with each other.
Ruby repositioned his hands around her and she was brought out of thought. To be honest, she really didn't have any more comments on the matter, anyway. She would be happy with the two just silently sitting there in each other's embrace.
This must have been what Ruby meant when he said he wanted to be more intimate with her rather than always being wild and spontaneous. She had to admit, though being rough was a lot more exciting, it really was nice to relax and envelop herself within his warmth.
Figuring there wasn't much left to say on the topic, Ruby simply kissed Sapphire on the forehead and snuggled himself into a more comfortable position between her body and the bean bag Wailmer they had been sitting on, allowing himself to drift into a deep sleep, Sapphire soon following suit, curled up around Ruby's body, her head slightly below his own.
