A/N: Heya, this is my second attempt at a 'Demons' story, so forgive me if I haven't got a grip of the characters yet. A series of moments and events during the lives of my favourite 'Demons' pairing.

Also, to warn you, this is femslash, but I was massively inspired after reading a story by HallowAvengence (which is definitely worth reading by the way) and so... here it is. Ruby and Mina. Tempoarily christened Rina. XD

This one is set before the vamp episode.

x-x-x-x-x-x

Sitting in the stacks was becoming an almost daily routine for Ruby, as she read up on 'half-lives and freaks', waiting for Luke to get back from his training.

She looked up, her eyes drawn to the blind woman in front of her, something amazing radiating from her even when she was just sitting there, on the sofa, her fingers running over a page of Braille.

"What are you reading?" Ruby asked, her eyes mesmerized as Mina's fingers grazed the page, her gaze straight ahead of her.

"The Secret Garden." Mina said, folding the book shut and placing it beside her. "Can I ask you something?"

"Sure." Ruby shrugged. It wasn't often Mina would ask, she'd usually just blurt out whatever was on her mind, much like Ruby.

"What do you look like?"

"I dunno..." Ruby thought, her brow creasing. "Brown hair... brown eyes... I'm pretty plain really."

"Come here."

For some reason... she wasn't sure why, Ruby found herself complying, sitting next to Mina on the sofa. Mina turned her whole body towards Ruby, and she did the same as Mina's hand found her way to her shoulders, pulling Ruby quite close.

"What are you doing?" Ruby asked as the hands trailed up her neck, across her jawline grazing her skin with a touch that made the deepest part of her shiver.

"Reading you." Mina's voice was a whisper, almost like the moment was made of glass and she was afraid it would shatter. Her hands moved up Ruby's face, tracing her ears first, and running them across to her eyes, Ruby closing them on instinct, her breath hitching a little under the touch. "What kind of brown?"

"Hazel, I guess. With little flecks of gold." Her voice seemed to mirror Mina's, coming out in a soft whisper.

The hands traced her eye lashes, down to her nose, following the curve and then round to the cheeks, Mina's hands cupping her face. The blind woman's thumb ran gently over her lips, tracing them, memorising them, sending Ruby's senses crazy. She could hear every little movement, the sound of skin stroking skin, Mina's breath, her own breath and her heartbeat seemed to beat loudly in her ears.

Ruby shivered as the thumb left her lips, and Mina got closer... so close that their lips were almost touching, and Ruby was sure she was going to lean in and kiss her.

"You're not so plain." Mina smiled, leaning back into her chair and picking up her book.

Ruby stared at her for a long, drawn out moment before smiling aoftly, and trying to get back to her own book. Her mind wandered as her eyes once again strayed from the pages, tongue playing with the top row of her teeth.

Well, two could play this game.
