This is just a little thing I'm going to do on weekends. I'll just take two characters and write a little ship of them. Some might be smut, some won't. I also plan on doing ships most people haven't thought of, starting with this one, Ruby x Amber. This features OCs, but only really names.
Ruby couldn't believe the incredible luck that had brought her and her girlfriend together. Ruby had been nervous enough going into Beacon two years early, nervousness that only increased when Ozpin had made her team leader.
About Two Weeks Ago
She had been shocked, stressed, and slightly angry at being put into such a situation, wandering around beacon late one night when she ran straight into someone else. She let out a very un-leader like yelp as she and the other person fell to the ground. Then Ruby saw her.
It was probably the most beautiful girl ruby had seen, in her opinion. Light brown skin, brown hair framing large brown eyes. She reminded Ruby of Autumn, one of her favorite times of year. This was enhanced by her clothing, on off white blouse with a brown vest, corset, and pants. A gold bracer on her left arm and gold armored boots. On her right shoulder was a golden pauldron.
The girl had already risen, and was offering to help Ruby up, her hand extended. Ruby grabbed to proffered hand, which was warm, and smooth. Now, with them both standing, ruby could see that the other was taller by about half a foot.
"Are you ok?" she asked. Her voice was gently and as soft as her hand. Ruby found herself unable to even speak, and just nodded. The girl radiated power, as if she were already a full huntress.
"Hey..you're Ruby right? Ruby Rose, the youngest team leader in history and the first to be accepted into Beacon in recent years right?"
"Y-yeah, that's me"
The girl smiled, and held out her hand for a handshake, which Ruby took.
"Well it's nice to meet you Ruby. my name is Amber. Leader of team AMBR. It.. It gets confusing."
Ruby felt herself giggling "I know, I'm Ruby, leader of team RWBY, I get the confused look all the time."
They started walking together, laughing over the fact that they both were unlikely leaders whose teams were their name. Then Ruby talked about her team, her sister Yang, and her partner Blake, and her own partner Weiss.
Then Amber talked about her team, how she hadn't known any of them before, but was now friends with all of them. Her partner, Midori, and the other two teammates, Bronwen and Rêad. She recounted their first mission together, a simple search and destroy mission. Halfway through, Amber and Rou had realized their teammates were MIA, only to find them at the dropzone making out.
Ruby shared some pictures with Amber, mostly of Zwei, who Amber thought was adorable. Then they were reminded it was midnight by none other than Professor Goodwitch, who gave them a quick lecture and sent them back to their dorms. That night Ruby had trouble getting to sleep.
The next morning Ruby had gone to Amber's dorm, with no real plan. She tried three times to knock, before giving up and going back to her dorm. She got there and found that Yang was the only one there, surprising on a Saturday.
"Hey Rubes, what's up" said yang, turning to lay on her side.
"Oh...nothing…" she replied, stowing her weapon away.
Yang hopped off her bed, and walked over to stand next to her younger sis. "I can always tell when something's bothering you sis." she looked closely at Ruby "girl trouble?" she asked smirking.
"W-what! No no no… you've got the- how do you-I mean-..." Ruby stuttered, unable to finish any thought
"Oh Ruby, it's ok. I know you're gay, I do read your diary after all"
Ruby punched yang in the shoulder then hid under her blankets "I dont wanna talk about it"
Yang just shrugged and went back to her bed. "Well, anytime you wanna talk. Though I do hope you'll talk to me now since i got Blake and Weiss out of the dorm for a few hours."
Ruby peeked out from her blanket fort. "Really?"
"Yep. so now's a good time as any."
"But how'd you know" Ruby asked with a slight frown.
"Diary, remember?" she said, holding up said book "last night's late entry told me everything I needed to know….soooo who's this Amber you met?"
Ruby blushed, grabbing her diary back from Yang and putting it in her bad, vowing to find a better hiding spot.
"Well...she's just this girl I met late last night." Ruby said, remembering how Amber had looked standing in the moonlight. " I really like her, but i don't know if she's even...like me."
"Hmmm…" Yang hummed, tapping her finger against her chin. "Why don't you just go ask her?"
Ruby nearly fell out of her bed with shock. "YANG! I can't just ask her! What if she's not gay? Then i'll just be laughed at as the too young gay freak! Also...she's older.."
Yang sighed. "Ruby, everyone here is older than you. By the time there will be anyone your age, you'll be in your third year. You need to at least try. If you don't.." Yang gave Ruby an evil smirk "I'll just tell Blake exactly how much you want to pet her cat ears"
Ruby gasped "you wouldn't"
Yang made a 'get going' motion, causing Ruby to stomp out of the room. Sometimes, Yang was extremely exasperating.
"She' so...manipulative...and..mean..argh...why is she making me do thi-ahhh" her angry muttering was abruptly cut off as she once again ran smack into someone. This time though the person caught her.
"Well, Ruby" said a soft voice, "we have got to stop meeting like this." it was Amber
Ruby felt as though she were falling down still, along with the feeling that her insides were filled with tiny Nevermore. She looked even better during the day, as ruby could see her eyes were actually brown with gold flecks. She was completely entranced, and didn't her amber calling her name until the fifth time.
"Uhhh..what?" she managed to get out.
Amber giggled slightly "I was asking if you were doing anything, because my team completely abandoned me today, and i wanted someone to spar with. I hear you use a scythe."
"Uhhhh...yeah..I do" Ruby mentally smacked herself. Here was a beautiful girl asking to spar with her and she was acting like a complete dork
"Well, I'll see you in the arena in, say...ten minutes?"
"Yeah, ten minutes, got it I'll be there" Ruby then ran off as fast as she could without her semblance.
"Well, that was fast. Did you mess up Rubes?" asked Yang, seeing her sister run into the room and slam the door behind her. "Or did you get a date?" she added with a wink.
"Well...kind of a date? I think?" ruby said, changing out of her casual clothes and into her battle gear. "She wants to spar with me."
Yang gave a snort of laughter "Real romantic first date, good going Rubes"
Ruby chose to ignore Yang, grabbing Crescent Rose and heading to the aena. She was a few minutes early, so she did her normal warm up, some stretching, combined with cardio. She was just starting to practice her form with her scythe when Amber arrived.
Ruby was surprised to see Professor Goodwitch behind her.
" asked me to oversee this fight, . also, now i can keep track of your auras so neither of you gets hurt."
Ruby shrugged, then took her ready stance, Crescent Rose in scythe form. Amber took her position, pulling out a short stick, which expanded into a six foot long staff, with a dust crystal at each end, one Wind, the other Fire.
Goodwitch counted down from three, and the battle began. AMber immediately went on the attack, twirling the staff, then pointed the Wind crystal at her, shooting out a huge gust of wind that knocked Ruby back, but did little to her aura.
Ruby slammed Crescent Rose into the floor, stopping her from going farther. Amber was already rushing her, so Ruby fired off a few shots, which Amber deflected. Pulling Crescent Rose from the floor, spinning it around to catch Ambers staff in the curve of the blade.
Firing again, she used the momentum to swing around Amber, landing several kicks. Then Amber rolled away, turning the fire crystal onto Ruby she unleashed a torrent of flame. Ruby fired straight down, using the recoil to get out of the way, however, she still took a hit to her aura, dropping her down to 85%. While she was up she looked at the aura meters, and to her surprise saw that Amber was at 95%. Her aura was strong!
Returning to the ground, she rolled immediately, dodging another burst of flame. Panting slightly, she knew that in a fight of distance, she would lose. Activating her semblance, she dashed toward and around Amber appearing behind her, aiming a swing at her midsection. The strike hit, but then Amber rolled with in, minimizing the damage, while at the same time swinging with her staff catching ruby in the gut, then blasting her back in a powerful gust of wind.
Ruby went flying back wildly, hitting the ground hard, dropping her aura to less than half. Amber was good, and she hit really hard. Gathering her strength, she looked up at the aura count. Ruby: 46%. Amber: 87%
Ruby was amazed. Just how much aura did she have? Not even yang took so little damage from that attack, then again, yang didn't mind taking damage because of her semblance. Taking a deep breath, ruby prepared to use her last ditch attack, Rose Blitz.
She quickly loaded a clip of gravity rounds into her scythe, then activating her semblance, she ran and fired, moving at undetectable speeds. She began running faster and firing almost constantly, hitting and running, using her momentum to swing all around Amber, attacking with kicks and Crescent Rose. unfortunately, the high speeds and continuous use of her semblance drained her aura dangerously fast.
Gong at such a high speed, she failed to notice the attack in time, Ambers staff swinging up, catching her in the chin. Surprised, ruby accidentally bit her tongue, tasting blood in her mouth. Losing control over her momentum, she found herself flying through the air, before smacking into the wall.
"That's the match! Winner is Amber, win by Aura level" called Goodwitch.
Amber ran over, looking worried. "Oh my, Ruby I'm so sorry! Oh no! Are you bleeding!"
Ruby felt some blood trickling down her chin, "It's ok, Amber, just bit my tongue" she said, wiping in on her sleeve.
"Ok you two" said Goodwitch "go get cleaned up, I'm sure you two both want to rest after such an amazing fight." as she walked away, Ruby looked up at the aura levels one last time. Ruby: 15%. Amber: 73%. Ruby sighed, heading into the changing room/showers.
She heard Amber come in as well, and ruby felt herself blushing at the situation she was in: alone, in a changing room with a hot girl. It was one of Ruby's fantasies, and Ruby was very glad she wasn't facing Amber.
"Hey Ruby…." her voice was close, almost right behind her.
"Yes, Amber" Ruby still didn't turn around, as she was still blushing like a fool. And so it was a slight surprise when she felt arms slip around her waist.
"You fought really well out there. That's the lowest anyone has gotten my aua before."
Ruby felt Amber pressing against her back, and started because she could feel that she was almost completely naked.
"Ruby...I know you like me, I could see it in your beautiful silver eyes the first time we met. And I really like you too…" she backed off, leaving Ruby frozen with shock. "Whenever you are ready to ask me out, I'll be waiting." the door to the changing room closed a few minutes later, Ruby still standing where Amber had left her.
Ten minutes later
After showering and changing, Ruby walked back to her dorm shocked. When she arrived, the rest of her team was there. It appeared that Yang had filled Weiss and Blake in on what happened, because when she walked in, all three looked up and asked he what happened in unison.
Ruby shrugged "We fought, she's strong, I lost" ruby went into the bathroom after grabbing her pajamas. When she got out, her team was still looking eagerly at her.
"C'mon, Ruby, give us all the good details!" said Yang, grinning broadly.
"There's nothing to tell, we just had a practice fight" Ruby got into bed.
The next day
The next day, being Sunday, Ruby normally slept most of the morning, but that sunday, she woke up early, before the rest of her team, and headed to the cafeteria for breakfast. As Ruby had hoped, Amber was there, one of only a few other people. Ruby got some food, then moved over to where Amber was sitting and sat next to her.
"Hey Ruby, didn't think you'd be up at this time"
"Normally I'm not, but i had a feeling you'd be here" Ruby replied.
Amber just smiled, and they ate in a comfortable silence. Despite arriving after mber, Ruby finished eating first, and just stared at Amber. Amber noticed, and just smiled at the younger girl.
"Like what you see Ruby?" she asked teasingly. Ruby blushed, looking away. Then she felt Amber's hand on her own, intertwining their fingers.
"A-Amber?"
"Yes Ruby?"
"Do you...wanna...goonadatewithme?" she blurted in a rush.
"If I were anyone else, you might have needed to slow down" Amber scooted closer, giving her hand a little squeeze "but yes, I'd love to go out with you" Ruby looked up at Amber, her silver eyes shining with happiness. Amber felt happier than she ever had before.
Almost unconsciously, she moved her hand from Ruby's, up her arm to the back of her neck. Ruby put her arm around Amber's waist, turning to face her. They moved closer, until their foreheads touched. Silver stared into brown. Then the eyes of the other disappeared from view as their lips met.
It was the most amazing thing Ruby had ever felt. A tingling warmth flowed through her whole body, making her feel hot, and cold, light and heavy, sensitive and numb. She wished it could last forever, but eventually Amber pulled away.
"Amber, that was….." Ruby was breathless "Amazing" Amber blushed, before pulling Ruby into her lap and hugging her.
"I'm glad you enjoyed it"
Now
Ruby walked down the streets of Vale hand in hand with her girlfriend. The sun was out, with minimal clouds. It was not hot, not cold, but just in between, the sort of day that was common in the fall. She snuggled closer to Amber, with a content sigh.
"Hey, Ruby, do you know what today is?" asked Amber, with a small smile.
"The first day of fall?"
"Well, that too, but no. Today is officially two weeks since we first kissed"
Ruby stopped, turning to face Amber, and pulled her down into a kiss, running her hands through Amber's hair.
"Happy anniversary then" said Ruby, smiling at the look on Amber's face.
"Ruby, not in public…." Amber whined, blushing worse than Ruby
"Why? Don't you love me?" Ruby fake pouted.
They continued walking "of course I do, it's just..I don't want other people looking at you weird"
"Awww, you're too sweet" Ruby said in a singsong voice
Together, they walked off into Vale, each loving the other, each just happy to have met.
I know the ending seems abrupt, but on my google doc this is already seven pages long, and if i keep going, it's going to be an entire novel. Anyways, give suggestions of who to do next, or if you want another chapter of the same. Note: chapters of the same ship will not be back to back, so yeah.
