This is my first RWBY AU, I hope you enjoy, happy reading!
It was about late afternoon, students have started to just get off of school. It was the start of winter break, a very amazing part of the year full of excitement as well. With Christmas around the corner, who wouldn't be excited? Ruby started towards the doors from her class that she had just got through. She stepped outside, the hem of her red button up shirt could be seen underneath her black jacket ,and her slim fit jeans hugging against her legs. She watched other students leaving, most likely on their way to a week full of surprises.
She walked down the path leading from the school, more into the urban areas. 'Ehh… guess it looks like a normal day', Ruby sighed a bit as she thought about it. It didn't really feel like winter break. Not with the weather especially, no snow, just crisp cold air, with open skies. She got caught up in a train of thought on her way to her part time job. Thoughts like, 'Surprises, smiles, cheerfulness', and many stuff of the sorts. She eventually pushed off the thoughts before she reached the front door of her work. "Heh, I still can't I found this place", she smiled to herself, saying to herself, "The Java House.". She walked in and took a deep breath, it always smelled great in here. She walked ahead from the entrance and eventually got behind the counter taking off her jacket resting it on a wall hanger. She turned around a saw one of her co-workers, well, more of a friend than a mere co-worker.
"Heyy, Crystal, ready for an amazing 2 weeks?", Ruby greeted her friend with an attempt of a cheerful tone, that surprisingly worked. Crystal turned to face Ruby, a glint appeared in her eye. "Mhmm, I've actually got plans with my family this year, heading out to a ski lodge sometime this week.", she had a light smile on her face, it complemented her attractive looks. Ruby returned the smile back as well, "aww, for how long? I'm not trying to stay here bored for long", she got rid of her smile and put on a mock pouting face, but then returned back to a soft smile and laughed a bit. " But really though how long".
She looked at her friends, emerald green eyes as Crystal answered her, "Ahh, not that long really, I should be leaving tomorrow, and be coming back on tuesday next week". Ruby kinda stood there staring at her, the smile was kind of fading now, "I thought you said not that long?, that's like, half of our winter break.", Ruby crossed her arms shifting her lips to one side. "Sorryy, okay, it may be that long, but I really wanted to go on this trip for a while now", Crystal lightly clasped her hands together bowing her head a bit, as in asking for some sympathy. Ruby answered that with a light pat on her friend's shoulder, "Hey it's fine, family matters, am I right?", she smiled at Crystal as she lifted her head up, "Alright, we should get to work now, we gotta serve these people". Without knowing, there was a line of about two through five people that have been waiting watching the two.
During the course of the next hour or so, those people have left, but more people came in. Ruby approached a girl in sneakers, white skinny jeans, and a white hoodie with a polar bear lying inside an igloo with a gradient blue circle in the background with that being the graphic. Her hair was bright white, as if it were snow. Eyes that gleamed blue like the sky, crystal clear. Ruby gawked at the girl for a bit, a very pretty one to be precise. She shook her head a little and walked up closer next to the table she was in, " Are you finding everything okay, umm…, Miss?".
The lady in white looked up at the girl asking her if the service was okay. She carefully inspected her Silver eyes reflecting the light of the ceiling ,and looked at the light blush that swept across Ruby's cheeks. Opening her mouth slowly she started to speak," Why, yes everything is fine, but If i were to say something…, these straws are surprisingly, how should i put it.., small.", the beauty in white slowly pulled out a very slim black straw from her cup of coffee, or as the staff would call it, Java. Ruby attempted to stop, but ended up letting out a soft chuckle. "H-hmmm?, Is there something on my face or something?", the customer looked at Ruby a bit confused. "Noo, not at all miss, it's just-", Ruby cut herself off a bit again with slightly louder chuckle, "that's a stirring straw, it's not really meant to drink out of".
The customer gasped a bit, as if she were shocked about something. But eventually, gave out a small laugh, barely hearable unless you were next to them. "My apologies, I didn't realize that when I got this from the counter", she looked up at the red..not just red but also black haired girl as she left a moment and came back with an actual straw. "Sorry i hadn't realized it sooner, here you go.", Ruby handed her the straw accompanied with a nice smile. "Why thank you…", the unknown girl looked at ruby again, "Would it be too much of me to ask for you name?".
Ruby's blush got a bit more noticeable as she heard the question," Well, why, y-yes. It's not too much at all, the name is Ruby, Ruby Rose." The white haired teen smiled with gratitude, "Pretty name, well, allow me to return the favor. My name is Weiss, Weiss Shcnee". Weiss put the straw she had just gotten into the cup and drank a bit of coffe, "Ahh.. much better, thank you very much". Ruby, whom was pleased to hear this responded back," It's no problem r-really, please come to me if you need anything.", the two exchanged brief stare as they returned to their doings.
About 2 hours passed by it was about seven at night, thirty minutes before closing. Weiss was still at her table, reading a book, with her cup of coffee empty. Ruby was cleaning up tables as Crystal was taking the last few orders of the night. People started leaving after their drinks have been served leaving only Weiss and 2 other people left. The sun has been down now, the sky was already dark, oh how the day goes by during the winter. Weiss got up taking her bag and got up walking to the front door to leave. Ruby, out of pure goodness, went up to open the door for her. "I look forward to seeing you here again, have a good night~", Ruby had a bright smile for Weiss. "Ah.. yes, thank you, you have a goodnight too", Weiss walked out through the door and down the street until she was out of view and Ruby closed the door and went to the counter where Crystal was at. "Well, today was a good day, time to start cleaning up, hmm?", Ruby exchanged looks with Crystal as she nodded.
About 20 minutes later, the entire Coffee house was empty, everything was clean as it was supposed to be. Crystal and Ruby turned off the lights and walked out of the building locking the front door. The two walked down the street together making their turns,'right, left left, right, left', untill they got into a intersection. Ruby looked at her dear friend as they gave each other a short friendly hug, "Looks like i'm not seeing you for about a week, gonna miss you.". Crystal smiled at Ruby,"Aww, come on, don't miss me too much, okay?, and oh!, before I leave, here.".
Crystal grabbed a book from her bag and handed it to Ruby,"You little 'lady' friend left it at her table, hehe~", she held the book out. Ruby blushed red,"H-huh? You were watching?", she blushed even more as she she lunged for the book, Crystal pulled it back," Soooo, what is it about that girl, ehh?". "S-stoopp, I don't even like her or anything…", Ruby looked down a bit and then back up at Crystal. "Oh… so I can return this myself then huh?", Ruby instantly grabbed the book thinking about that," N-no!, I'll..I will take it myself", Ruby smiled like a child. "Hmm, I see, well. We can talk about this another day, I'll see you next week Ruby!", Crystal walked to the other side of the street walking the opposite direction to her home, Ruby as well, walked opposite to Crystal and went home too.
Honestly, looking at it now, this feels pretty short for 1 chapter, even though it's 1,400 something words hue~. Anyways that's all... FOR NOW that is. Next chapter should be up soon!
