Author's Note:

Okay so this is gonna be the first part of a drabble series I'm planning on starting. I wasn't actually gonna start this for another 2 weeks but I got this idea so here ya go. Most of these fics will be unrelated and will probably lack background. So make sure you always check the author's note for an explanation otherwise you might get lost.

As for this one, it's set after Ruby and Weiss get together in my other fic "Pretty Girls". This isn't necessarily a sequel (especially since it lacks the length to be a proper sequel), but rather just a cute little snippet. You don't actually have to read Pretty Girls since it has no effect on this but I just imagined them in that world.

Another note about this drabble series: there will mostly be White Rose since I'm more obsessed with that couple, but there will be other couples as well (such as Bumblebee, Arkos, Team Sloth, Ladybug, etc.) Just about everything that I ship and get an idea for.

"Do you promise not to laugh?"

"Yes, I promise."

"Do you swear?"

"Ruby…"

"Swear on your life!"

"Ruby, it can't be that bad!"

"You didn't swear!"

Weiss groaned loudly and pinched the bridge of her nose. "Fine. I swear on my life, okay?"

Even with the heiress' reassurance, Ruby hesitated. "Cross your heart and hope to-"

"Ruby!"

"Okay fine!" Ruby walked over to her desk and opened one of the drawers, digging through its contents. Curious, Weiss tried to peek over her shoulder but was effectively shut out due to her short stature. So instead she crossed her arms, patiently waiting for whatever Ruby wanted to show her. It startled her when Ruby suddenly whipped around, a pout present on her pink lips (how did they taste today, she wondered).

"Remember! You promised!"

She rolled her eyes. "I'm aware. Now will you just show me?"

Ruby grumbled and turned back around, pulling something from the drawer and bringing it up to her face. Weiss rose a single eyebrow in confusion and curiosity, wondering just what was going on that had Ruby worked up all of a sudden, before Ruby turned to face her again.

She cracked a smile.

Seeing this, Ruby shouted, "You promised!"

Weiss quickly composed herself, pulling her shoulders back and straightening her posture as she pressed her lips into a fine line, trying to hide her smile. "I know I did. I'm not laughing, am I?"

Ruby pouted and dropped down onto her bed, crossing her arms as she frowned up at the heiress. "Yes you are! I can see it; you're laughing at me!" She slumped forward and hung her head. "I knew I shouldn't have showed you."

The giddiness immediately dissipated and Weiss rushed forward to take a seat on the bed and throw her arms around her girlfriend. "Hey now, I said I wasn't laughing at you. Rather I'm laughing at how self-conscious you're acting about this." She took Ruby's chin and pulled so that she was facing her, their faces so close that Weiss could see herself clearly reflected in the thick-rimmed glasses that her girlfriend donned. "I think you look cute."

A steady trail of pink dusted Ruby's cheeks and she fidgeted under Weiss' intense gaze. "Y-you really think so?"

Weiss nodded. "Mhmm. You know I don't hand out compliments for the sake of it. I mean it, Ruby. You look adorable." Her blush intensified and the pale-haired teen took advantage of Ruby's combined silence and embarrassment to lean in and capture her lips in a soft and gentle kiss. Soft lips responded immediately against her own and Weiss took that as an invitation to poke out her tongue to lick Ruby's bottom lip.

Strawberries.

Today they tasted like strawberries.
