"Oh, goddammit Ruby!"

"Whaaat?! Just come down, he couldn't even hurt a butterfly!"
"No! Keep it away!"

Blake hissed as she stood atop the red huntress' bunkbed, nerves aflare as she kept as much possible distance from the viscious, vile beast Ruby let into the dormroom. One look into the creature's eyes could break even the strongest of men and women. It's attacks quick, yet deadly. And it's voice so effective, it's said to seep into the very souls of it's prey. It's strength was impecable, and it's coat as slick as silk as it lurked-

Ruby held the beast up to the raven haired girl, said beast licking Blake on the nose as the faunus girl hissed and jolted off the bunkbed. Her quick pace faltered, though as her foot caught the end of the bed frame and the faunus headed face-first for the floor. She closed her eyes, awaiting the imminent faceplant coming her way.

Ruby caught Blake right as she was about to land, somehow twisting her upright and landing with the girl in her arms bridal style. The redhead smirked as she kissed Blake, and the monster ran up to save the day as it jumped in the faunus' lap, giving her a kiss as well.

"Zwei! Get off me!" Blake shouted, giving a hiss afterwards.

The dog did not budge as he simply looked at the frightened girl with the happiest of looks. The faunus knew well it was the face of pure adorableness as it panted in front of the girl. Blake sighed as she gave up, patting the dog on the head. Zwei let out a bark as he licked the girl once more, jumping off of the faunus as he jumped up into Weiss' bed and laid down.

"Geez, that was worse than last time's attempt, I was sure confronting your phobia this time would be a success!" Ruby said, placing the faunus girl back on her feet as said girl hissed at her.

"Jumping out of nowhere with a manging mutt in your hands will not make my phobia disappear!" Blake protested, panting lightly as to try and calm her nerves.

"Wha-you said to start surprising you by bringing the dog towards you more! You asked me to!"

Blake sighed, knowing Ruby didn't fully understand her statement. "I meant by bringing him along wherever we went, not surpise me when the room's completely empty and I'm quietly enjoying the peace in a good story." Blake explained.

"Oooooohhh... okay." Ruby complied as she looked down at the floor. "Does that mean I have to sleep in my own bed, for scaring the shit out of you?"

Blake shook her head easily as she walked over to the sulking redhead. "No. I can't blame you for not fully understanding my statement. Just.. warn me next time."

"Okay," Ruby replied as her face burned a shade of pink. "Sorry Blakey."

Blake wrapped her arms around the young huntress, kissing her on the temple. "It's okay, don't be sad hun."

A thought crept into the dark haired girl's mind as she held the redhead.

A very dark, cruel thought.

'Payback might be too sweet for me.'

A couple hours after the surprise incident occurred, the couple was now in the mall. More specifically, a clothing store. No sign of suspicion there, except that they were in the beach clothing aisle, and Blake was the only one trying on that article of outfits. Ruby sat outside the changeroom as the faunus got changed. Scratching her head as to why she was the only one trying on beach outfits. 'Why would she wanna buy some clothing now, she doesn't even like water that much...'

"What do you think hunny?" Blake asked as she opened the door for Ruby to see. Suddenly, she knew EXACTLY what was going on.

Torture.

Blake wore a sexy black strapless bikini top on, that didn't cover all of her assets. The bottom half was just as bad as it seemed to only cover her front area, and little-to-nothing at the back. To top it all off, she put a beautiful cherry blossom hairband on her head, adding little to nothing to the imagination as Ruby practically passed out.

"Well? How do you like this one?" Blake asked, a look of confusion painting her, though Ruby knew too well she was fucking her with one of her pet peevs: being flustered in public women's areas.

"A-omwellermi-ituhm-aa.." Ruby tried to convey to her girlfriend, though nothing came out of those small lips as her head looked like it was about to blow steam.

"You like it? Or should I try on something else?" Blake asked, still feigning a confused look as to the younger's mental breakdown.

"Yeahnomaybeidunnosomethingelse," Ruby spat out, panting lightly as to alleviate the redness in her cheeks as she looked to be almost sweating. "ImeanyeahIlikeit."

"Really! Okay, one more thing to try on before I change back." Blake said as she went back into the changeroom.

"I-is it gonna be something, I dunno, with a little more fabric?"

"I don't know, you tell me." Blake replied, opening the door as Ruby entered the final torture method: sexy underwear.

'OOOOooooooohhhhhh dear god... THANK YOU.'

"Sooo, what do you think? Blake asked, displaying herself before her girlfriend. The underwear she had on was even MORE exposing than her previous outfit as Ruby stood silent.

"I...I uhm..." Ruby stood still for a moment, before bolting over to her girlfriend and pulling her into the changeroom as the wind from the rush of air closed the door behind her.

Ruby pushed Blake against the wall of the changeroom, panting lightly as to calm her nerves. Blake knew exactly that she had won the battle, as she grabbed the redhead's shoulder. "What.. are you thinking Blake, you've had that.. evil look in your eyes since we've left Beacon. Are you.. trying.. to give me an aneurism?"

"Whaaat, no. I just thought that buying some beach clothing would help me overcome my fear of the ocean. The book said buying a new outfit would help give me more confidence," Blake replied with the most innocent look she could give the huntress. "Do you not like it?"

"Don't get me wrong, you look beautiful in those outfits. But they're a little... open," Ruby answered as she looked over the raven haired girl from her close up view. "Are you sure this is what you want?"

"Well. You seemed to like it, a little too much maybe." Blake spoke, wiping a small streak of blood from the redhead's nose.

"Whaa.. Dammit Blake!" The redhead scolded as she grabbed a tissue out of her pocket and pressed it against her leaking nostril.

"So you think I shouldn't get them then?" The faunus asked, a look of disappointment painting her face as her mood flipped.

"No, that's not it. Just.. If you're doing this because you want attention, you don't have to," Ruby spoke, removing the kleenex from her nose as she turned her attention back to her girlfriend. "I like you for you Blake. You're quiet, cute, very warm. But the thing I like the most about you is your eyes. Don't think you have anything wrong with you, because to me, you're perfect."

Blake couldn't help but smile as her flustered complexion burned bright. "Y..you really think so..?"

"Of course! That's what made me fall in love with you!" The redhead replied, wrapping the girl in a hug.

The older girl wrapped her arms around her girlfriend, mustering up a small purr as she did.

"I love you Ruby."

"Hey Yang. Is it me, or are those two acting... different."

Yang looked over to her sister and Blake. The latter and the former's lap as the faunus read one of Ruby's favourite stories. "Well, aside from Blake being in my sister's lap. No, not really."

"Just, look a little closer." Weiss insisted, squinting almost as she tried to decipher the small, yet noticeable difference.

"Weiss, I think you're just paranoid with trying to be a better girlfriend then them. I mean, they look completely normaaallll...-" Yang spoke, though her last words came more like a flabberghasted tone.

Zwei jumped up onto the faunus' lap. Instead of the catgirl's usual 'get off me, you drooly mut' statement, she simply patted the dog. The blonde's jaw dropped, and the heiress' eyes widened in awe as she continued to pet the dog and read the book to Ruby.

"See! I TOLD YOU!"
