First Blake X Ruby fic.

The crisp winter wind nipped at her pale cheeks. She payed it no mind, like she did with her classmates, instead only giving her book her full and undivided attention. Her golden eyes scanned the thin pages that were nestled betwixt her fingers, ready to separate and turn the page.

Blake Belladonna, an orphaned Faunus girl, was not your popular quiet kid, or moody, or emo, or even bipolar kid. She just….didn't like people, not due to the difference in species, but because the human children treated her as a plague, a tumor that they hoped to siphon of its energy and remove.

She turned the page and reached out to grab her tea, but instead of her precious teacup, her fingers brushed against the softest, and most recognizable hair she had ever seen.

"Hey pooty-tad." She whispered to the faunus.

Blake did her best to hide her smirk behind her book, pretending not to notice her one, and only best friend.

"Huh, guess the kitty isn't home, guess I'll just have to wait here and get ready for her to get here!" Ruby Rose said with a toothy grin as she plopped herself down on a second chair, doing her best to look uncomfortable. She looked over at Blake, who still pretended to ignore her.

Ruby faked a yawn and twisted in her seat until she laid her head in Blake's lap. "Gettin kinda tired waitin for my kitty kat!" Ruby said with an even wider grin.

Blake giggled and was marking her page, ready to respond when a familiar voice called out.

"Ewwww! Those girls are being gay!" A white haired snobby girl yelled.

Blake's ears folded defensively.

Ruby sat up and furrowed her brow. "Blake….what does gay mean?"

Blake sighed and shrugged. "I don't know Ruby. It's probably Weiss just trying to get to us again…"

Ruby watched as Blake's eyes seemed to slowly become distant and empty.

"It's working…" Blake mumbled. This had gone on since kindergarten, with Weiss "Ice Queen" Schnee always making fun of Blake and any that associated themselves with her.

"Blake." Ruby whispered.

Blake glanced up at Ruby. "Hm?"

Ruby wrapped her cloak around Blake and smiled. "If being gay means that I care about my best friend...then I'm gay and I'm proud." Ruby grinned, her beaming silver eyes twinkling with delight.

Blake smiled, tears welling in her eyes, just as she huggd Ruby as tight she could. "Thank you Ruby!" She whimpered, trying to hold back tears.

"Blake. If you want, you can come home with me and spend the night…" Ruby said softly as she gently patted Blake's back.

All Blake could do was nod, smiling and whimpering tears away.

Later that day, Ruby's parents picked the two up, and took them home.

That night.

"Blake?" Ruby whispered as she rolled over, attempting to hug Blake, in her sleep of course.

THUD!

Ruby whimpered and rubbed her head. She opened her eyes to realize Blake was gone, and her bedroom window was open. She stuck her head out the window, looking around, curious as to why Blake would've snuck out.

"Blake?" She called out.

She heard a slight yelp from above her and she curiously glanced above her, to see Blake peering over at her.

"What are you doing up here?" Ruby asked curiously. (Oh god Blake run! Curiosity killed the cat!)

"I'm….looking at the stars." Blake whispered.

Ruby's eyes lit up, as she climbed up to join her. "Why didn't you ask me if I wanted to join you?" Ruby whined.

Blake sighed and giggled as she pulled her phone out, finding a picture before showing it to Ruby.

"I'd rather be stuck in a room with Weiss forever than wake this up!" Blake whisper yelled, as she showed Ruby an adorable picture of Ruby curled up with Zwei in her lap.

Ruby sighed and smiled. "Blake, you're weird." Ruby poked Blake's forehead before laying down next to her.

Blake smiled. "So, were you dreaming about something?"

"Shhhh, don't ruin the moment." Ruby mumbled.

Blake furrowed her brow. "How would I ruin the moment?"

"You wouldn't….I just feel like something….something bad is going to happen…." Ruby whispered, as she slowly nodded off.

Elsewhere…

Summer was on her way to work, where she learned they were short staffed and in need of a neurosurgeon. Her large black Tahoe was barreling down the highway, just under the speed limit.

"Yeah Raven, I'll be there in ten, just make sure they've set up my operating center before I get there." Summer barked into her phone.

She growled softly. "DON'T GIVE ME THAT RAVEN! AND IF TAI SAYS HE'S GOT THIS, BASH HIS SKULL IN!" She screamed.

Suddenly her car lurched left, moments later she had been sent over the guardrail, plummeting the three stories to the pavement below, where Summer's life was extinguished as a roadsign pierced her throat, and after thirty excruciating seconds of drowning in her blood, she passed.
