What a Rose Tastes Like Ch. 1
AN: this is my first time writing for anything other than school so if someone can point out things would be grateful.
I own nothing all rights to their respective owners.
It had been several weeks since the last encounter with team Rwby and the tri-colored Neo was beginning to have an understanding with the team she has been facing off against.
First was Weiss Schnee, she was the heiress to the Schnee dust corporation, she fought with dust and a rapier, as well as possessing an absolute horrid attitude and was valued to that of a fly. She was just completely boring she had no flare to the fight just cold strategy and tactics always trying to outsmart her opposition but failing to do so.
Next up was Blake Belladonna, a feline faunus from what could be determined, due to the agility she displayed as well as the bow atop her head, more interesting than Weiss but not enough to keep Neo interested. Fighting with a katana attached to a ribbon, she used trickery and cunning to out maneuver her opponent, but utterly lost when needing to fight straight up against someone who could keep up.
Third was Yang Xiao Long, the best way to describe her was like fire, brash, impulsive, and easy to extinguish with the right tools, always trying to out bully her opponent effective when facing other fighters, but not when the fighter can use every attack to her advantage. She fought like a berserker always charging in head first, using the hardest swing to finish the other off or blow them apart with her shotgun gauntlets.
Last but not least Ruby Rose, their leader short but just taller than herself, what intrigued Neo was the fact she was 2 years younger than the others, so she was good confirmed when Neo faced off with her she could tell by the fight. Neo loved it she lived for the fight, it was one thing that kept her from losing it, so when she fought Ruby Rose it was bliss, ecstasy was a way to put it how they both dodge and weaved as they crossed blades the sparks that flew across the area.
It was magical Neo had never felt this way for anything or anyone until now. She wanted to know more, she wanted to feel more after a moment she stopped and thought about what she was thinking, these feeling what were they she wondered. The conclusion that Neo came to was that she was in love, Neo held herself for a moment Neopolitan an associate of Roman Torchwick in love, no one in their right mind would have thought as such. The thought of it she felt so many emotions shock, interest, invigorated, but most of all curious how of all individuals on Remnant, Neo had fallen in love with her enemy it baffled her but in the end she shrugged and realized it was love.
What she was trying to figure out was what did Neo love about this Ruby Rose, was it her fighting style, the looks she had, was it the fact that she was the only one to be able to keep up with her. While in her thoughts she heard a familiar tune, being hummed by an all too familiar voice after confirming that the voice really was who she thought, she realized she wanted to know more about this little rose that has enthralled her so much. So when Neo heard as such she got up from her chair of the outdoor cafe she had been eating at and decided to follow the young rose to learn about her.
Ruby Rose had been very much an amusement, following her was a different experience than she would have expected Neo followed her through all of Vale or it seemed that way. From dust shops, to weapon shops, to restaurants and cafes, one cafe she would have to remember and eat at one Ruby went to they had a odd order where they served cookies and cream. As the day changed over to evening, Neo had learned a lot about Ruby rose and was able to learn that she truly enjoyed her personality, yet one thing still remained getting her to love Neo back.
Neo, for the life of her, was going through everything she could think of to get Ruby to like her, but every thing she came up with ended in failure, so she decided that the direct approach was the best way, although she never would think that this rose, her enemy could or would ever love her. As Ruby turned the corner, Neo held up her hands to show she was not wanting to fight.
"Why were you following me?" Ruby inquired.
'This rose never ceases to intrigue me' Neo thought as she closed the distance, Ruby held her ground not wanting to show fear, or to back off. As Neo approached Ruby's face, her heart was beating rapidly never had her heart beat this fast, even in combat in that moment Neo was sure Ruby, was who would be her lover by force if necessary. It was in that moment that Neo rushed in forcing her lips to connect to Ruby's it was in that moment everything seemed to stop for the few precious moments everything felt good.
As Neo pulled back to regain air, she was even more surprised by the fact that a few short seconds later, it was Ruby who had re-engaged the kiss, all thoughts went blank as Neo simply fell deeper into the exchange. Unsure of how to react to the situation she had created, Neo moved back eyes wide at what they just did in that moment Neo left with a note, saying she had to regain her composure for she never thought that Ruby would be the one to kiss her back. Still stunned about the exchange, Neo speaking to no one in particular "sweet and salty" as she licked her lips with pleasure due to the exchange the two shared moments ago.
AN (from the Editor): Simply put this was a blast to fix up grammatically. *Assumes Napoleonic Stance.* For the glory of the Shipping Fanon!
