I heard that this ship is called Bumblebug, so here I present to you a Bumblebug three-shots!

Bees and a Rose
"Ruby, you're gonna be fine."
"But Weiss…"
"You are going to be fine, alright? Seriously, I even offered to accompany you to the villa but you turned me down, and now you're fretting about something as simple as greeting the landlord."
Ruby Rose, eighteen was holding her phone with a big suitcase beside her, standing in front of this only villa that was not overpriced around the area.
According to the advertisement she saw on Remnant's Daily, there was a vacancy here so she had decided to take a look – and when she arrived at this particular building, she was overwhelmed.
It wasn't as flashy as it was described in the advertisement, but it was pretty decent – and the most attracting part was that even though it looked old, it gave out a strong feeling of home. Ruby fell in love with this vintage building.
#
"Umm…excuse me?"
"Yes?" The man in white turned to face the little red.
"I uh…I…villa…move…"
"Whoa whoa, slow down little red." The man waved both his hands, "Take it easy. What is it that you want to tell me?"
Ruby took a deep breath before continuing her sentence.
Because talking to stranger wasn't exactly her specialty.
On top of that, it was a man with bright orange hair smoking a cigar.
"I…was told that you're the landlord and…I seen the advertisement in the newspaper saying that there's an empty room for rent here?"
The man frowned as he turned around, shifting his position so that Ruby could see all the room doors along the wooden corridor. It was all lined on the left side and there were four total units.
"Actually, it's been rent out for at least two months already."
"Eh?" Ruby blinked.
"Where did you see that advertisement, little girl?"
Ruby reached for her backpack, pulling out a piece of wrinkled newspaper. She handed it to the man and he giggled after reading it.
"Girl, this newspaper is a few months old. Didn't you check the date?"
Ruby blinked.
Again.
She grabbed the newspaper from him, taking a good look at the date – it was the same day, but three months old.
How on Earth did I make a mistake like this?! Dust, it's so embarrassing…I want to bury myself…
"So…" The man twitched and looked at her with apologetic eyes, "I'm sorry, but we're full."
Feeling extremely embarrassed and somewhat dejected, Ruby offered him a smile and told him that it was fine. Just when she was about to leave, the door that was the closest to her opened – and a gorgeous blonde in orange tank top holding a black colored plastic bag stepped out.
Her lilac pools met Ruby's own silver and both were frozen for a moment.
Little red was completely mesmerized by those pair of magnificent eyes; she couldn't avert her gaze at all – and so was the blonde.
The landlord noticed this and faked coughing so that the two of them would be pulled back to reality.
"So…" The man raised an eyebrow.
"Y-yeah, sorry for blocking your way, I…I'm just gonna leave now. Sorry for mistaking the date of the newspaper…" Ruby smiled sheepishly as she turned around.
"Wait!" The blonde shouted, causing the girl to come to a halt.
"Huh?"
"Ah, sorry for shouting…" The blonde touched the back of her neck with her left hand, fidgeting as she said, "Well…you looking for a room to rent?"
Ruby nodded shyly.
"It's okay, the landlord just told me it's full." She smiled.
"If you don't mind…" The blonde did her best to put up the kindest smile, "You can move in with us."
"Us?"
#
"So yeah Blake, this is Ruby." The blonde motioned her head towards little red who was standing beside her, all the while never breaking eye-contact with the black haired girl sitting on the couch.
"H-hi." Ruby greeted.
The girl, Blake threw the blonde a quick glare, then turned to red and smiled, "Hello Ruby."
"Hi…"
…
Awkward…
"Well, she's moving in with us." The blonde broke the silence, then immediately turned to held out her hand to Ruby, "I'm Yang, welcome to share a room with us."
Little red took her hand and whispered something inaudible to Yang.
"I'm sorry?"
"It's fine, Ruby. We don't mind you moving in with us." Blake smirked, "It's hard to find a cheap room around this area anyway."
It took Ruby a full five seconds to notice the pair of cat ears on top of Blake's head; she was a Faunus.
And thanks to her enhanced hearing sense, she could hear Ruby's mumble.
"We have a guest room actually, you can move in there." Yang pointed towards the door just beside the kitchen, "But it's a bit dusty, since Blake and I don't do much cleaning. We can help you clean the room once we're done with our stuff."
Ruby took a look around the unit – they were in the living room now and there were only four doors at their left side; the one that led to the kitchen was open; the other one at the opposite of it was the bathroom and aside from the guest room that Yang mentioned, there was only one room left.
Wait, they…
"Yes Rubes, we sleep together in a room." Yang saw through her question and just shrugged, "Literally."
"Yang." Blake hissed.
Wow, she's on nickname basis already.
Ruby liked how Yang gave a big sister vibe; she felt warm and safe around her even though they just met for around ten minutes.
But she couldn't help but blush when she heard her statement.
"You guys…are…?"
"Yeah, we're dating." Yang grinned.
Ruby panicked – she didn't want to be the third wheel.
And judging from that statement, she might hear something…sexy in the middle of the night.
"Uh, then I better not-"
"Ssshh. It's fine Rubes. Go take a look at the room, we'll get to you later."
"But-"
"Hey, you're not disturbing us kay. Relax, we know it's hard to get a room around this area." Yang gave her a smile of reassurance.
Ruby had actually planned to live in the school dorm, but she was transferred to Beacon College in the middle of a term – there wasn't any room left for her at the school. Her only options left were apartments and houses, but they were either overpriced or very far away from the college.
Until she saw this villa.
Silently deciding that she would spend as less time as possible here to not third wheel the couple she nodded and made her way to the guest room.
"We'll get back to you later!" Yang waved vigorously and went into her own room with her girlfriend.
"Sure!"
#
"Okay Yang, talk." Blake crossed her arms, sending the blonde the infamous kitty glare as soon as the room door was closed.
"Well, she's cute." Yang grinned.
The Faunus sighed and just shook her head.
"Wait, you're not jealous?" Yang raised an eyebrow.
"…"
"...Don't tell me you like her too?"
Blake's blush intensified.
"And you didn't even bother to hide your ears…I thought you wanted to keep it a secret?"
"What, Yang, I am your girlfriend okay!" The Faunus squeaked as she glared harder at the blonde.
"Haha…of course, love ya kitten." Yang pecked the girl's lips affectionately, but before she could pull away Blake had wrapped her hands around her neck; the two soon was indulged in a passionate kiss session.
#
Ruby dared not to look at the bumblebees.
Because their shirts were messed up and she knew why.
But they're so hot…
…
Dust, what was I thinking?!
Little red shook her head and face-palmed; she just imagined herself being together with the both of them.
Please, this is not some kind of fanfiction, it's reality! A harem…wait, is it considered a harem if I date the both of them?
Holy Dust, Ruby, stop thinking about that! They're dating for Oum's sake! You're already the third wheel, idiot Ruby, dolt Ruby!
"Hey, ya fine?" Yang didn't even bother to tidy up her tank top like what Blake was doing at the moment.
"Huh? Yes, yes I'm fine." Ruby smiled sheepishly.
"You sure? You look pretty tired." Blake said after finished tidying up her clothes.
"Yeah Rubes, your face is kinda red." Yang looked at her, concerned, "You must be tired of moving your stuff around. Just go rest in the living room, we'll do the cleaning."
Ruby shook her head.
No, that wasn't the reason her face was as red as the cloak she was wearing.
At all.
"Let's just finish this as soon as possible." She did her best to give a genuine smile.
Which succeeded.
"Of course!" Yang gave her a thumbs-up and turned to Blake, the latter nodded.
They got the cleaning supply from a closet near the entrance of the unit, then began to battle with dusts and spider webs. After three hours or so, they were finally done and Ruby and Blake collapsed together on the couch with Yang looking at them smugly.
"Tired already girls?" She smirked.
"We're not made of muscles you know." Blake glared at her girlfriend.
"But your stamina is supreme when we-"
"Yang."
"Whelp. Girls, go take a shower." Yang motioned her head towards the bathroom, "We'll escort Rubes around this villa and introduce her to the neighbors."
Ruby panicked.
"I…" She squirmed.
"Awww don't be shy!" Yang playfully slapped her back.
"Yang." Blake pushed the blonde away, "Don't break Ruby's spine!"
"But it was just a gentle slap."
"That…wasn't…gentle…at…all…ugh." Ruby faked death.
But in all seriousness, it did hurt like hell.
Ruby finally understood Blake's previous statement – this tall blonde was indeed made of muscles.
"No! Rubes! You were too Yang to die!" The blonde acted dramatically.
"Yang Xiao Long."
"Kthanksbye." Yang took off before Blake could hit her. She ran straight to her room, grabbed some clothes and dashed into the bathroom.
"Was that a pun?" Ruby turned to the Faunus.
"You'll have to withstand her stupid puns if you're going to live here." Blake face-palmed, "I wish you luck."
"Ugh…"
"I can hear you, girls!" Came Yang's muffled voice from the bathroom.
Ruby and Blake then sat on the couch, both not saying anything. The atmosphere became extremely awkward as they waited for the blonde to finish her shower – which Blake knew would be at least half an hour long.
Curse that wonderful blonde mane of hers.
Blake thought it would be appropriate to tell Ruby about their habits and taboos before they greet their neighbors. And to break this awkward silence between them, of course.
"Ruby?"
"Yes?" The younger girl answered almost immediately.
"Well…since you're going to live here…I think there are things you need to know about." Blake sat up straight to be nearer to Ruby, "I don't want to sound rude or anything, but there are certain things that Yang and I didn't like so…I hope you can listen us out…and perhaps, tell us about things that you don't like so that we don't step over the border too?"
"Oh, sure thing Blake." The girl beamed with excitement – she couldn't wait to know the couple more, "I understand. Don't worry, you don't sound rude at all. I get it."
The Faunus smiled gently as she cleared her throat.
"So…first thing, do not mess with Yang's hair."
"…Huh?"
"Don't even touch her hair." Blake warned, "Yang is extremely protective of her hair. She sent five guys to the hospital in the night club last week because they pranked her and pulled out a few strands of her hair by purpose."
Ruby gulped.
If the slap on her back was just a gentle one, then she couldn't possibly imagine how powerful the blonde was if she went full force.
She probably broke their legs.
And arms as well.
"Okay." Ruby answered simply.
"Next." Blake continued, "You are aware that I'm a Faunus, right?"
"Mmhmm."
"I actually…" She took a silky black ribbon from the coffee table in front of the couch and showed it to Ruby, "I'm concealing my identity as a Faunus, so please keep this a secret."
"But you're fine with me knowing?" Ruby blurted out.
"Y-yes." Blake's face turned a few shades redder.
"Oh…alright, I get it." Ruby blushed too.
Crap, this chemistry between them was strong.
The Faunus forced herself to stop thinking about this cute little riding hood, insisting that she had Yang as her girlfriend now and that having thoughts like that was a betrayal to the blonde.
But Yang didn't seem to mind it?
"Is there anything else?" Ruby asked timidly.
That snapped Blake out of her thought as she shook her head.
"Aside from those two, I think it's pretty much the normal ones, like no throwing stuff everywhere in the house…basic rules." She said, "We're pretty open about curfew and stuff, so you can come home late in the night. Just be quiet moving around. If you're gonna spend the night out, let us know. I think that's pretty much about it."
Ruby nodded.
"What about yours? Do you have any specific things we have to be careful about?"
"Not really." Little red shook her head, "Just…I love sugar so…I might be really hyper at times. Weiss always scolds me because of that…"
"Weiss?"
"Oh, she's my BFF!" Ruby puffed out her chest proudly.
Somewhere in a huge, luxurious office, a lady in white Schneezed.
Blake giggled at Ruby's silly antics.
They continued to talk until the bathroom door was open and a certain blonde emerged, wearing another tank top with the word 'Pun-tastic' printed on it.
She motioned her head towards the duo sitting on the couch and Blake had decided to let Ruby go first.
"Soooooooo." The blonde fell sitting onto the couch as she smirked, "What have been you guys talking about~?"
"Your hair." Blake said, not amused.
"Oh." Yang's expression turned serious all of a sudden, "Did Ruby mention anything that we shouldn't do around her?"
"Nope." The Faunus shook her head, "Just warned us about her sugar rush."
"Hmm." Yang seemed to be in deep thought.
"Yang?"
"Yeah?"
"I love you."
"Aww. I love you too."
They shared a smooch, and Blake let out a sigh of relief internally.
When I say I love you, I mean it, Yang. Sorry for having thoughts like that about Ruby.

Ruby was surprised to see a dozen of hair care products lined beautifully on the shelf.
She'd place ten bucks to bet that it all belonged to big sister Yang. Alone.
As the shower water ran through her body, her mind began to wander.
About the two hot girls that she met today.
She'd always known that she was not into guys – at one point in her life she even thought that she had a thing for Weiss, but it turned out to be just friendship. The heiress helped her sort through her feelings and thanks to that they remained best friend, especially after Ruby had accidentally confessed to her.
Weiss herself liked girls too, but she had an enormous crush on Prryha Nikos the Amazonian beauty. They officially became a couple just a month ago – and they had been the very first lesbian couple that Ruby had ever encountered in her life.
Her mother Summer passed away a long time ago; Ruby barely remembered her. Qrow, her father worked in the NSA and that made him a busy man. Basically, Ruby grew up with Weiss.
Qrow had mentioned on several occasions that he didn't care about Ruby's sexuality and that he would love her no matter what. Ruby felt genuinely thankful to have such open-minded and loving father.
Weiss on the other hand was difficult with her own family. She spent years struggling with her father until she gathered enough forces to kick him off the CEO position of the Schnee Financial Group. After she became the CEO, she was able to do whatever she desired to and was no longer controlled by her father. That was also the time when Prryha and her started dating officially.
Ruby's lips curved upwards as she recalled her past.
And then she was distracted by the smell of Yang.
She recognized it – the smell of the blonde's lavender flavored shampoo, filling up the whole bathroom.
Blushing, she quickly washed her hair with her own rose-scented shampoo before she got drowned in the wonder of lavender.
#
It was near evening when they were done showering (Ruby took quite an amount of time because she spaced out thinking about something that involved the color black and yellow). Yang mentioned about having a welcome party in Nora and Ren's unit and they could eat dinner there as they would prepare food. Ruby of course had rejected the idea, because a party wasn't necessary, but Yang said it was their tradition.
Presently, everyone living in the villa, including the landlord was in Ren and Nora's living room.
"So, this is Ruby Rose, and she'll be officially a part of the Rainbow Villa after this party!" Yang threw up her giant glass of beer, "Welcome to the family, Rubes!"
"…Rainbow Villa?" Ruby murmured. She didn't recall that name – the name that was stated in the newspaper was 'Torchwick's Villa'.
"Allow us to tell you the origin of the name, milady!" Nora the bubbly ginger grinned at Ruby.
"Nora, please calm down." Ren the quiet man said.
"But first, let us introduce ourselves." A woman in sunglasses smirked, "I'm Coco Adel, I live just beside you."
Coco then pulled a rabbit Faunus near her side, hands grabbing around her waist.
"This is my girlfriend, the name's Velvet Adel."
"Coco!"
"Oops. Sorry, we aren't married yet. But you're mine." Coco pecked Velvet on her cheek lightly.
The rabbit Faunus blushed intensely.
"Someone's high tonight." A blonde man with monkey tail made a mocking gesture as he turned to a boy with sea blue hair, "You go first, Neppy."
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Ruby. My name is Neptune Vasilias, and this is my boyfriend Sun Wukong." The tallest boy among the group smiled.
"And we are the sloth team, Lie Ren and Nora Valkyrie!" Nora held up her beer like how Yang did just now.
"I'm the landlord, Roman Torchwick." The landlord smiled.
Oh.
Ruby finally understood the reason Yang named this the 'Rainbow Villa'.
This villa was basically an LGBT villa.
After a series of silly games proposed by Nora and Yang, the residents then continued to chat with Ruby so that they got to know each other better. The girl was really thankful to have found this villa – the people here were warm and caring, and most importantly they weren't judgmental at all – they accepted her for who she was. Nobody told her that wearing a cloak was weird; they even offered her condolences when she told them it belonged to her departed mother.
Perhaps mistaking the date on a newspaper wasn't totally a bad thing.
#
Red like roses fills my dreams and brings me to the-
Ruby quickly reached for her phone at the table beside her bed.
She didn't want to disturb the couple sleeping in the room just beside her; Yang got pretty drunk and it took all of Blake's energy to just settle the muscle woman properly on the bed. She collapsed straight onto Yang after that.
After cursing herself for forgetting to tone down the volume of her ringtone she picked up the phone.
"Weiss~"
"Ruby? I'm sorry to call this late, the meeting didn't go well." Came the heiress' angelic voice from the other side of her phone.
"It's fine!"
"So…did it go well?"
Ruby then told Weiss about what happened at the day.
"Well, at least you've got a place to live now."
"Mmhmm." Ruby smiled, "And the people here are really nice."
"That's good. Be sure to take care of yourself you dolt."
"I will. Hehe, I miss the dolts and dunces."
"…" Ruby could literally saw the blush on Weiss' face even though she was so far away.
"Say…Weiss?"
"Yes?" The heiress recognized the tone little red used – she was about to tell her something serious.
"How does it feel to fall in love with a girl?"
Ruby's sudden question stunned Weiss for a while, but she recovered very quickly.
"It feels warm. Really, it's not something that can be described in words." The heiress smiled gently, "But I can tell you it's exceedingly awkward to be around the person you love when you're not officially together yet. Like you want to be with them, but at the same time you don't want to."
"I see…" Ruby said.
Seeing as her best friend was unwilling to elaborate more in the subject, Weiss didn't want to force her to talk. She knew something was bothering her apparently, but she also knew Ruby very well – she would definitely tell her about her problem. She just needed time.
"Well, don't think too much, Ruby. If you need anything just call me. Or leave me a message if it goes straight to voicemail. It's late now, go to sleep you dolt."
"Sure…thanks, Weiss. Good night."
"Good night."

This is a bit angsty, but I didn't label that because it isn't that angsty.
Oh well.
Anyway thanks for reading. Please review if you've got anything to tell me. Or just leave me a PM.
No hate please.
