"C'moooooooooon! Let's gooooooooo!"
"NO Ruby, we need to study for our history test!"
"But we've been studying for like, the whole afternoon..."
"Ruby, it's only been...an hour" Weiss said, glancing down at her watch. "Besides, you took a 'cookie break' twenty minutes ago! Try and focus on the material."
"Well,I can't help it if theres other things in the room which hold my interest", Ruby said smirking at Weiss.
Weiss turned back to her book, both to hide her blushing and in an attempt to supress a smile of her own.
"Ruby, you'll need to do better than that to convince me to stop studying. I mean, c'mon, have you been taking lessons from your sister?"
The two hadn't been dating for long, and hadn't even told their friends yet (although the group was starting to form suspicions over their "partner practices", which seemed to be occuring more and more often).
Neither having much experience with romance, they enjoyed teasing each other over their attempted flirting, and although neither would admit to it, they enjoyed each others poor jokes (Yang's constant 'humor' had rubbed off, whether wanted or not)
Ruby turned back to her books, her smirk fading to a small frown. Weiss, although hard on Ruby about her studies, knew that being a slave-driver would both serve no help to Ruby, and strain their newfound relationship. Seeing as Ruby had been doing better in her classes this semester, and had complied with Weiss requests for studying thrice a week(although these meetings were not entirely for Ruby's benefit), Weiss decided to have a little fun with her.
"Okay Ruby. Seeing as you've studied the 'whole afternoon', I propose a challenge. Three Questions", Weiss said, holding up three fingers. "If you get all three correct, we can go out to town for the rest of the evening, and then grab some dinner. My treat."
"But, if you don't get them all right, we stay here. In the Library. For. The. Rest. Of. The. Night.", she said,a grin spreading across her face.
A quick look of worry flicked across Ruby's face, but she responded quickly and confidently,"Lay 'em on me!"
"Okay", Weiss said calmly. "Question one: What marked the turning point in the Grimm War?"
"Of course you couldn't resist asking a question about it", Ruby uttered with a knowing look."Man's discovery and harnessing of Dust. "
"Okay, smarty-pants. Question two:What was the name of the island the Faunus were confined to before the Faunus war ?"
"C'mon, you know Oobleck loves to talk about the Faunus" Ruby sneered, a slight mocking tone entering her voice. "Menagerie
"Okay, Okay, you got the first two. But here's where your luck runs out." "Which Kingdom created the Cross Continental Transmit system after the Grimm War?"
"Ooh, ooh, I know this" Ruby uttered, palms slapping her head.
"I know it wasn't Vale, and I'm pretty sure it wasn't Mistral. Ummmmm...Atlas?"
"Is that a question or an answer?", Weiss reprimanded.
"Atlas", Ruby said more confidently.
"You're a dolt.", Weiss said, turning back to her books.
"However", she said, a small smile spreading across her face," you're a lucky dolt." She closed her books and began to stowe them in her backpack. "Let it never be said Weiss Schnee is not a woman of her word", she said haughtily as she rose from her seat. "C'mon. Let's go"
Ruby jumped out of her seat, quickly drawing Weiss close, launching into a litany of stores and sites they would visit in town.
Weiss couldn't help but smile at the exuberance of her partner, and was glad to take an evening off to enjoy with her.
"She may be a dolt", Weiss reflected as the two exited the library. "But she's my dolt.
