"Oh no! Please be alright, please!" The voice shouted. It sounded familiar, but the darkness surrounding me made it impossible for me to think straight. It was as if I was floating in a black sea of my own darkness. Pain shot through my head like a fire-dust slug, straight from Ember Celica. Which incidentally, is what put me in the hospital in the first place. "Please!" I opened my eyes slightly, the intense light immediately blinded me. I winced. After they adjusted, they caught the most beautiful sight. Pyrrha, my partner, teammate, and the one I love was sitting beside me. But something was wrong, there were tears in her eyes. When she noticed I opened my eyes, she pulled me into a really freaking tight hug. I wouldn't normally complain, because you know, hugs are awesome, and there's the added benefit of her breasts pressing up against my chest, that was always good. But holy shit my ribs fucking hurt! I let out a cry of pain, and started coughing up blood. That was new. Definitely broken ribs. Lungs might also require help. When she saw the blood, she started panicking. She was going to have a panic attack if this kept up. And I would be the cause. I grabbed her hand and assured her that everything was okay. Well, as okay as it could be, seeing as how I might have internal lung damage. Once she calmed down, I asked her to get the nurse. She hesitantly agreed, but only because Ruby happened to walk in at that exact moment. She passed by her, stopping only briefly to greet her.

"Hey Jaune, you doing okay? I just now got Pyrrha's message. These scrolls are so slow, I swear." I laughed at the innocently angry tone in her voice. Ruby always served to make me laugh. It was one of the things she was best at. Besides fighting bad guys that is. It was no wonder we were such close friends. I could tell she liked me, everyone could tell. It's too bad I didn't feel the same, or I wouldn't hesitate to make her the happiest girl on earth. I still wanted to, in a way. She knew about my feelings for Pyrrha, it must have tore the poor girl apart. Or not. She was either very good at hiding it, or she was totally fine with me not liking her back.

"I'm doing fine, Red. Just a couple of broken ribs, probably some lung damage. Nothing that my aura can't fix with a few days of rest." She smiled. She liked it when I called her Red. I don't know why. Maybe it's just because I was the one calling her that. If it were anybody else, she would probably severely injure them. Even Yang. Which made her jealous when I got away with it. Which made me happy.

"That's good." She looked down nervously. I already knew what was coming. "Jaune. I've been getting that... Itch again." I looked away. I really wanted to help her, but she really needed to learn how to help herself. We couldn't keep doing it, it would just complicate things.

"Ruby..." She lifted her head up.

"I've been doing those things you taught me. I really have. They just aren't working. Nothing satisfies me like you did!" I shook my head. I shouldn't have ever taught her that stuff. "Can't you just... Y'know, do it one more time. Tonight?" I thought about it. There was nothing wrong with it, it just felt weird because of our relationship. I knew that if we continued, then it might make her think she had a chance with me. I didn't want to give her the wrong idea. "Look, I'm already in love with you, if that's what you're worried about! I know how you feel about Pyrrha, and I'm willing to let go. Maybe I'm just being selfish, and I know I'll only end up hurting after, but please Jaune. Just one more time?" Tears were starting to pool in her eyes. I couldn't say no. I could never say no. Maybe I'm fooling myself. Perhaps deep down, I really did have feelings for Ruby, because when I said yes, she kissed me harder than she's ever kissed me before (which was only a hand full of times, twice on accident mind you), and it felt like the entire world was being given to me. She pulled away with a huge smile on her precious face. "Thank you Jaune. I'll see you tonight!" She winked at me, I had to be blushing the brightest fucking shade of red, because Pyrrha couldn't stop laughing. She walked in right as the kiss was over, but she saw. I know she saw.

"Why didn't you tell me you and Ruby are together? That's great, I'm so happy for you two!" In an instant, all my hopes and dreams for the future went sailing out the window. I didn't deny it, I just went with it, asking her to keep quiet about it. 'Maybe I should give Ruby a chance', I thought. I mean, she didn't know it, but Pyrrha shot me down, and I crash landed into a pile of broken parts and lit gasoline. My heart ached, but I smiled anyway. I didn't want her to know. I didn't feel like she deserved to know. She didn't do anything wrong, but it sure fucking felt like she did. The nurse walked in behind her, and asked her to leave so she could perform some tests. She left, but not before she winked at me. What the fuck was that supposed to mean?

"Hey Jaune." I jumped. After all, I wasn't expecting Ruby to appear next to my bed. In the hospital. At one in the morning.

"Yes Ruby?" I asked. She blushed and pointed down at her crotch. I blushed as well, and motioned for her to hop on the bed. I sat up, and spread my legs a bit. She hopped up on the bed, and sat between my legs, her back was flat against my chest. She lifted her top up to her breasts. She wasn't wearing a bra. It wasn't a good angle, but I still saw them. Her nipples were already hard. She took a deep breath, and leaned further back against me.

"You can just start. I'm not wearing any underwear." I cupped my hands around her tits, making sure to squeeze them gently. She moaned. It wasn't loud, but it was still a moan. And damn was it hot. I moved my right hand slowly down her body, it gave her goosebumps. My mind went blank as I reached the hem of her skirt. I slowly pulled it up, appreciating every single whimper she let out. Earlier, I would have just made her cum and been done with it. But now it was different. I couldn't deny the feelings for Ruby I had apparently been holding down inside of me. Pyrrha's elation at her mistake was the slap in the face that made me realize them. I was going to take this slowly, and I was gonna make damn sure she enjoyed every fucking second of it. My hand brushed against her inner thigh. She brought a finger up to her mouth and bit down on it. She was trying her hardest to not be loud. But I wanted her to be loud, I wanted everyone to hear how good I was making her feel. Damn them all to hell if they had a problem with it! I slowly traced a finger around her, she bucked her hips. "Dammit Jaune, if I had known you were gonna tease me so much..." I chuckled. I knew she liked it. I was making her a sweating, panting, blushing mess. I absolutely loved it!

"You know you like it." I whispered in her ear. She bit her lip, I love it when she does that! I traced a finger along her slit, her eyes widened. She moaned out my name. It was taking everything I had, to hold myself back! If I had it my way, I would have been pounding away, while she writhed uncontrollably and screamed out my name! But I knew where the line was, and I didn't dare cross it. To do so would be to betray her trust, and I would never even consider doing that. I inserted a finger inside her soaking wet pussy, causing her to bite down harder. There would definitely be a bruise. At least a bruise on the hand was easy to explain. She was tight, her wet walls clenched around my finger.

"You sure are taking your sweet time!" She sputtered.

"Oh, you want me to hurry this along?" She gasped as I lightly brushed my thumb over her clit.

"No! No, take as long as you like!" I smirked, and continued giving her cunt the attention it deserved. I inserted another finger, she nearly choked.

"Oh my... Two?" She asked in disbelief.

"Wanna try for three?" I replied in jest. She closed her eyes tightly, and nodded. I wasn't being serious, but as long as she's up for it, right? I inserted yet another finger, it was a tight fit, but she was well lubricated. Her eyes were still closed, she looked like she was concentrating really hard. I could tell, she was almost at her breaking point. "Just let go Ruby, give in." I stroked her clit some more. She said she was more sensitive there than most girls were, I'm liable to guess she was telling the truth 'cause when I stroked it a third time, she arched her back and let out a silent scream. Thank God, she came silently. That would have been loud. She fell back against me, panting and sweating even more than she was before. She smiled and rubbed her face into my chest. I pulled my fingers out of her, and brought them up to look at them. They were coated in her cum. She blushed and mumbled something in my chest. "Sorry, what was that?"

She looked up at me and whispered, "Will you... Lick it off? For me?" I blushed, suddenly losing all of my confidence. Why did she have to ask that, I was going to do it anyway, but her actually asking me to... Still, I couldn't deny her request. I pulled my fingers up to my lips, and licked them clean. As I pulled them out, she grabbed my hand and stuck them in her mouth. Her tongue wrapped around my fingers, twisting and turning with ease. She could tie a knot in a cherry stem with that tongue of hers. She reached up and kissed me. It wasn't a hard kiss, nor was it very passionate, but her taste made it seem that way. I deepened the kiss. We parted, gasping for air. She laid her head on my chest once more. "I'm sorry."

"For what?" I asked.

"For making you do this. I mean, I just wanted to feel it at least one more time, before..." I felt her sink deeper into me, holding onto me tightly, as if I would disappear if she let go.

"Before what?"

"Before you got with Pyrrha, and we couldn't do any of this anymore. I know it's only a matter of time before she notices you. And when she does, she'll take you away from me. But don't worry, I'm used to losing people." She sobbed. I felt her tears drop on my shirt. I wrapped my arms around her.

"I'm not going anywhere Ruby. I promise." I kissed her head.

"You're not? But what about Pyrrha?"

"Forget her, I was thinking that maybe... I would like to give us a chance."

"Us?"

"Yes. Us." She loosened her hold on me, and put her forehead on mine.

"Are you being serious?"

"One hundred percent serious." I smiled and kissed her on the nose. She giggled and wiped the tears from her eyes.

"Well, I'd have to be crazy not to accept!" She flashed me a sly smile, and grabbed me through my jeans. I gasped. "And now that we're a thing, it just seems stupid of me not to thank you for the great job you did!" Dammit. She just switched our roles.
