AN:/Hello! Just a quick note before your regularly schedule RWBY fanfiction.
I had this idea pop into my head after reading something about Blake going into heat this morning. Seeing as I've been obsessed with White Rose lately I decided to translate it over to my favorite pairing. Anyway I hope you enjoy!
Agony. That's the word I would use to describe my current predicament. Torment. Anguish. Torture. All are apt descriptions of the suffering I was currently subjecting myself to. I, Ruby Rose, am in heat.
It was not-so-common knowledge that certain archetypes of faunus, predominantly canine and feline, have a cyclical based reproductive system in which we're only able to conceive during certain times. Like our more bestial counterparts, during this time our bodies turn the hormones up to eleven, pump out pheremones like a Dust refinement plant pumps out smoke, and our senses sharpen exponentially. Every touch sends pleasure like lighting surging through our bodies. Our vision is magnified so that every fine detail is crystal clear. We can focus on and hear the subtlest of sounds. And then there's smell.
Being of a lupine disposition, my olfactory senses are already incredibly keen. Not to brag, but I can identify and focus on a particular smell that was days old and track it to it's source. Normally this is an incredibly useful ability when on missions, but because my body decided that today was the day to make babies, my mind was immediately assaulted with overwhelming desire and longing when the familiar scent of a certain someone reached my nose this morning. The owner of said scent is currently asleep in the bed beneath me, oblivious to the lecherous thoughts and sexual tension plaguing my mind and body.
I immediately pinched my all-to-sensitive nose in the vain attempt to stem the lewd urges flooding my thoughts. Silently I jumped out of bed careful to not wake the room's other inhabitants and bolted for the bathroom. Seeing my flushed face and dilated pupils in the mirror sent a shudder through my hot aching body and I let out a frustrated groan. Oh yeah, did I mention that apparently my body is positively burning for another woman? And not just any woman but my partner for the past three years, Weiss freaking Schnee.
Not to say that my thoughts and emotions weren't aligned with my body's urges, I love my frosty little partner. Weiss is the major reason I've made it this far and been so successful. She was unrelenting and pushed me to my absolute limit never letting me settle for anything less than my best. Granted for the first few months of our time at Beacon, she was hard, cold, and calculating. At least until I realized that's only a persona she so painstakingly crafted to protect herself. If you asked almost anyone in the school to give you their opinion of Weiss they would tell you that she's frigid, self-centered or completely uncaring. After all, Weiss had worked hard to earn the moniker of Ice Queen. But the team members of RWBY knew better. There's a certain bond that forms between people who fight together through overwhelming odds and life or death situations. When you learn to trust someone with your life, it becomes much easier to trust them with everything else. And so, through our countless battles and hardships we opened up to each other, Weiss included. Sure we had our fair share of arguments and some admittedly gruesome fights, but we came out of them with a better understanding of each other.
Though her words remained cold and biting, her actions were warm and caring. They were small things at first like creating study guides and training regimens tailored to focus on Yang, Blake, and my weakest areas respectively. Over time those small acts of concealed kindness became open displays of care and affection be it a shoulder to cry on and a warm hug to carefully considered advice and support. There wasn't any doubt among us that Weiss loved and cared for us in her own way.
It certainly took a very long time for Weiss and I to even reach common ground though. I guess I shouldn't blame her. She had been raised to believe the faunus were beneath her, like we were no better than animals. So naturally being partnered with a clumsy childish wolf faunus made things between us difficult at first…
"Miss Rose" Port's voice right in front of me woke me up in an instant. Quickly glancing around the empty lecture hall filled me with dread. I had slept through class and well into the afternoon judging by the warm light shining through the windows. Where was Weiss? Why hadn't she woken me up?
Professor Port seemed aware of my unasked questions "Miss Schnee left as soon as class was over. She seemed to take it as a personal offence that you would dare to doze off during a lecture."
I turned back to the professor and hung my head in shame "I'm really sorry professor Port. After the past few weeks of busting my butt trying to catch up with a curriculum two years ahead of where I had left off at Signal, following my own personal training regimen, and the classes and drills themselves, I think I've reached a new level of tired I never thought possible."
Port gave me a beaming smile "Ruby, let me be the first to tell you how impressed I am by your performance here at Beacon. I dare say you are the hardest working student this establishment has seen in years!" His smile morphed into a look of concern "But you must remember that rest is just as important as training and studying. What if you passed out during a field exercise? Not only would your team be without their leader, they would also be crippled by having to take care of you."
My shoulders slumped forward "Yeah you're absolutely right. Thank you for the advice, sir"
His beaming smile returned "Anytime! It goes without saying my door is always open if you ever need to talk!"
I smiled at him as I gathered my things. Port was a very kind man and he genuinely cared about his students. While his teaching left something to be desired, his stories never failed to entertain me and I recently found myself looking forward to his class more and more. Weiss had plenty to say about the portly professor, none of it very nice. Weiss. I let out a frustrated sigh as once again my frigid partner hijacked my thoughts. I was slightly hurt and more than a little peeved that she would just leave me behind like that. Ever since I was named leader of team RWBY her attitude has been downright glacial. I swear the temperature drops a few degrees whenever her and I are together. Sure she had been perfectly civil in all of our interactions, but I could see the contempt and stress she tried so hard to hide.
"Something else is bothering you." Once again Professor Port was looking at me with concern.
I slung my bag over my shoulder and debated asking him for advice "How can I earn Weiss' respect?" I asked before I could stop myself.
Port's eyebrows shot up then turned contemplative "Hmm Miss Schnee is a very proud girl. Pride can very easily turn into arrogance and cause one to believe they are superior." He put a comforting hand on my shoulder before continuing "Believing oneself superior makes it difficult to relate and connect with those around us
So if I can somehow get Snowflake to swallow her pride…
Professor Port's voice interrupted my thoughts "It is no secret how members of the Schnee family view Faunus."
Realization hit me like a semi-truck with no brakes. Not only was Weiss not the leader of her team, she was subordinate to a faunus. The revelation only seemed to make thing more complicated. Something seemed off though. Weiss had been trying really hard to be civil which was strange because she rarely held her opinions back. If Weiss truly thought she was better than me then why go through so much effort to be nice when she never held back when interacting with everyone else?
I opened my mouth to argue when Yang burst into the room, her eyes darting around searching for something "There you are sis! I was soo worried!" She ran up to me and engulfed me in a bone crushing hug.
"Ah perfect timing Miss Xiao Long! Please escort you sister back to your dorm and make sure she gets a good night's sleep. She is suffering from severe exhaustion and needs to rest"
I gave Port a mutinous look. There was no way I was getting out of this. Yang looked at me with eyes filled with concern "Ruby, what did I tell you about pushing yourself too hard?"
"Sorry sis, you know me" I hugged her back before struggling free "I promise I'll get some rest in a bit but I need to talk to Weiss first have you seen her?" I waved goodbye to Port as we made our way out of the classroom.
Yang Huffed in irritation "Ice Bitch is probably in the library doing Dust knows what."
I rolled my eyes at her "Ice Bitch?" Yang and Weiss' personalities meshed like oil and water but even that was a bit much. But I didn't really have time to play mediator between them. "I'm going to go see her so I'll see you back at the dorm okay?" Not waiting for a response, I called on my semblance and sped off in a cloud of petals toward the library. I made it in record time only slowing for a second to open the door before quietly making my way to the table in the back where Weiss usually likes to study. She had a few books open in front of her silently taking notes.
I plopped down in the empty seat across from her and playfully scolded her "Weiss Schnee I am thoroughly upset with you!"
She showed no outward reaction but I could almost hear her groaning internally. Her voice was icy "Care to explain why I should care?"
I recoiled slightly and frowned at her tone "Because I'm your partner and you hurt my feelings today…"
She looked up from her book, icy blue eyes glaring at me "I reiterate my previous question. Why should I care?" Her glare lingered a second longer before she focused on her notes once more.
"Ouch that's rather cold of you, Snowflake" I huffed in annoyance
Weiss snapped her gaze up to meet mine and if looks could kill I'd be dead ten times over. "Please refrain from calling me that. I already have to deal with a leader who sleeps through class so I'd prefer it if she didn't indulge in childish name calling."
I could feel my anger growing "Is that why you're being so frigid? My dozing off in class offended you that much?" Surely she had seen how hard I was working!
Weiss put her pen down her voice growing louder "It reflects poorly on the team when their leader can't be bothered to pay attention in class!" She crossed her arms and sneered at me "I don't see why the headmaster made you leader. I have so much more training and experience! No matter how you look at it I would have made a better leader. Ozpin clearly made a mistake!" Weiss shouted letting her composure slip
I'd be lying if I said that didn't piss me off "I didn't ask to be made the leader but damn it Weiss I'm trying! I wasn't born perfect like you!"
"I'm not perfect, but I'm leagues better than you!" She scoffed "Like some animal like you could compare to me!"
Silence.
I couldn't believe what I just heard. Words died on my lips as the realization of what she just said hit me. She called me an animal and that cut deep. Weiss had covered her mouth with her hand, clearly shocked herself by what she said. My vision went blurry with tears and I turned away from her "So the truth comes out" I said bitterly. I had been called names before and it never really bothered me but coming from Weiss, it hurt me on a whole new level. "I didn't care that you were a Schnee, I just wanted to be your friend and someone you could depend on."
"Ruby I-"
"I think you've said enough Weiss" With that I turned on my heel and walked.
I was so engrossed in my memories of our first fight that I completely failed to notice the familiar sound of bare feet padding up to the bathroom door. I had just taken off my tank top when I heard the door open and a small gasp escaped my lips when I saw Weiss standing there frozen. Her eyes were wide and her cheeks were an adorable shade of pink, full lips slightly parted in a surprised 'o' shape. I could hear her heart beat quicken as her eyes darted down over my chest to my toned stomach down to my defined legs and back up again. Did… did she just check me out? Before I could question her though she schooled her features and slammed the door shut causing the room's other inhabitants to stir.
I took a deep breath to calm my racing heart but that turned out to be a colossal mistake. I caught a whiff of the snow princess's scent and a white hot coil of desire tightened in my abdomen. Thoughts of Weiss leaning on the doorframe sexily in her thin pale blue nightgown, her eyes raking over my exposed body before meeting my gaze filled with want. Slowly sauntering over to me grabbing my hips and roughly pulling me into her. Head turned to the side to expose her slender pale neck begging me to lean in and-
"Ruby Rose would you please expedite whatever it is you're doing in there so that the rest of us may have our turns!" Weiss's irritated command startled me out of my dangerous fantasy.
I quickly threw my top back on and using my semblance rushed out of the dorm building into the cool morning air towards the gym before anything else could happen. Hopefully an intense and exhausting work out would help me work through some of the tension I was feeling.
Nearly a week had passed since that morning and I had pointedly avoided almost everyone, Weiss especially, only seeing her during essential classes and training. I know it's not really fair to her and I can only imagine how much I'm hurting her but honestly it's either avoid her like the plague or press her against the wall while holding her wrists above her head as I press my lips to hers eagerly revelling in the taste. Gently biting her lip making her moan in pleasure. Pressing my thigh between her legs as she- "No no no no stop!" I yell out causing the librarian to give me a hateful look. He and I had never really gotten along since my shouting match with Weiss back in first didn't take to kindly to our disruption of his precious peace and quiet and only very reluctantly let us continue to use the library. Fortunately he and I were the only ones in the library at the moment so nobody who really mattered had witnessed my little outburst. I had been getting worse and worse throughout the week to the point that my needs were beginning to become physically painful.
I had tried almost everything I could think of to take my mind off of my partner, even copious amounts of *ahem* self indulgence but that only seemed to make things worse. Today was Saturday so I didn't have any classes or exercises to distract myself with hence my hiding in the library trying to lose myself in fiction and leave my worries behind. At least that was the plan but it seemed any and everything reminded me of my gorgeous white-haired partner. I was too focused on not getting distracted to notice that Blake had been sitting across from me with an amused but concerned smile.
I jumped a little when I finally noticed her sitting there and tried to give her my best smile "Dust you're quiet Blake! Didn't see there what's up?"
Blake merely raised an eyebrow and pointed to the book in my hands "What are you reading?"
What was I reading? "It's a story about… uhm a detective?" Seriously what was I actually reading? I had been too focused on ignoring my lust for Weiss to really remember what I had chosen to read. I closed the book and looked at the cover in confusion. Which Witch is Which? Did I really pick this out? It was colorful with three cutesy witches illustrated on the front. Why was this even in the library?
Blake looked even more concerned "Ruby you've been avoiding us all week what's wrong? Yang misses her little sis and Weiss has been acting kind of strange did you have a fight?" She grabbed my hand over the table and the second her hand made contact a small jolt of pleasure shot through my arm to my core and I couldn't contain the soft moan that escaped my mouth. Jerking my hand back to cover my mouth I looked over to Blake. Her eyes had grown wide, only a thin line around her dilated pupils. Flushed and breathing heavy we sat staring at each other willing ourselves to calm down. After a few seconds Blake seemed to get a hold of herself and apologized.
"I'm sorry Ruby I didn't know you were…" she trailed off her face no longer red with arousal but embarrassment. The cat regained her composure and gave me a wry smile "You must be going through hell"
Being the only other faunus on team RWBY, Blake and I shared a unique kind of bond even though she was a feline. Yang was the best sister I could have ever asked for but there were certain things she just couldn't relate too, my being in heat one of them. Blake however would know exactly what I was going through and perhaps offer some insight or something, anything, to help.
I propped my cheek on my hand and gazed out the nearby window "I don't understand It's never been this bad before…normally some extra affection is enough to tide me over until it goes away but..." I turned to look her in the eye and pleaded "Can you please help me Blake?"
Blake clearly misunderstood what I meant and turned scarlet "R-Ruby! I mean y-yeah I don't mind but…" she trailed off and this time I felt my own face heating up from embarrassment. Blake was very attractive and while It made my heart feel lighter that she would be willing to go that far to help me, my body didn't burn for her but a certain white haired heiress.
"A-advice! I mean advice!" I sputtered in embarrassment and softly added "But thank you Blake that means a lot to me"
Blake's face was even redder than I thought possible. She looked away but nodded "I think the easiest and best solution would be to talk to Weiss"
Oh Dust am I that obvious? "Nope. No. Nien. Niet. Absolutely nonononono! Weiss definitely doesn't need to know this at all ever!" I vigorously shook my head
Blake merely shrugged in response a small smirk tugging at her lips. "Suit yourself though I don't think you give her enough credit. Weiss tends to be strangely accommodating when it comes to you."
I scoffed at her "Let's be realistic here Blake. There's a limit to 'accommodating' as you put it" I felt my shoulders slump forward a bit "Besides I want it to mean something."
Blake chuckled softly "Ruby you're such a romantic!" She laughed harder when I growled at her "But seriously talk to her Ruby."
I let out a tired sigh. The cat was probably right. If I continue like this I'll just end up hurting both of us "Yeah I guess I should."
AN:/ Ok so this whole thing was rushed and slapped together to see if it would be a story worth telling. I'm also trying something new by telling a story within a story through flashbacks. I'm not super attached to this idea so if it's not popular please leave a review and let me know and i'll take it out of future chapters
Anyway hope you liked it and I hope to see you next time! ~Anty
