New chapter!
"Yang finds out one of Ruby's secrets. Ruby inadvertently shakes the secret moments afterwards."
"Come on, Ruby! Don't be like that! I think it's just so cute!"
"Shut up shut up shut up!"
Blake sighed. Peaceful moments? Clearly too much ask for at Beacon. She gazed in the direction of the voices, and saw an agitated Ruby storm through the doorway, followed by Yang, who had a wickedly-wide smile on her face as she continued on her mission: taking advantage of her sister's latest revelation. The two came to a halt just behind Blake, which meant that she now had to listen to their conversation.
"Why are you getting so hung up on this, Ruby?"
"Because you keep talking about it! I don't even know why I told you anymore!"
"I have to keep talking about it because it's important! I mean, you're my sister, after all. I can't believe I didn't know all this before now!"
"Maybe there was a reason for that."
"Yeah? What was it?"
Ruby crossed her arms and glared at Yang, who merely smiled back, oblivious to the daggers the younger girl was shooting towards her.
Blake, who had turned around at this point, found herself between the pair, who were locked in a tense silence. "So, what's up?" she awkwardly asked.
Ruby shifted her glare onto the would-be negotiator, before stomping off to flop down on one of the beds.
Blake prompted the other girl hopefully, "Yang?"
Yang grinned at Blake. "I just found out that Ruby has never kissed anyone!"
"Argh! I said shut up!" was the reply from the bed.
Yang ignored her, beaming happily. "Isn't it cute? She's just so innocent, isn't she?"
"I don't understand. Isn't she 15?" Blake posited with a raised eyebrow.
"Can we just stop talking about this, like, now?" Ruby asked, with more than a desperate hint of finality in her voice.
"Oh Ruby, we're just teasing you! I think it's adorable that my little sister hasn't kissed anyone," Yang waved her hand in Ruby's direction.
Blake quirked her eyebrow. "Hang on, 'we?'"
Ruby thumped her hands on the bed as she stood up. "Okay, I'm out of here!" she declared as she tramped out the room.
Ruby grumbled under her breath as she headed out of the room and down the corridor. She was fuming, and subsequently more focused on the rambling in her head than particularly noticing where she was going. How could she just start teasing me like that? It's not my fault I've never kissed anyone. It's not even that big a deal, right? Right. Yang's just being stupid. But, maybe…no! Shut up, brain! Stop thinking about it, just-
"AHH!"
"OOF!"
THUD! THUMP!
Ruby felt someone lying under her, and opened her eyes to see that she was face to face with Weiss. Well, not just face-to-face, but lip-to-lip as well. As both silver and blue eyes widened, Ruby immediately pulled away from the bemused heiress.
"Ah-ah Weiss, um, I didn't s-see you th-there, heh, um-"
"Just shut up and get off of me," she said dangerously. Ruby stood and pulled Weiss up with her, who delicately smoothed out her clothes before turning to Ruby with a frightening fire in her eyes. "We are never going to speak of this again. Are we clear?" Ruby nodded nervously in response, and, satisfied, Weiss strode past her.
Ruby watched the other girl walk out of sight, and touched her lips, half-smiling to herself. "Well, I guess I got my first kiss after all."
Short, but it's a two-parter; check for part 2 over the next few days! I know I'm taking a risk with this head-canon, but I'm really not too fazed; if you'll see the summary, you'll notice it says, among other things "...not necessarily canon-compliant." I'm using that to my advantage!
Additionally, I'm gracious for the reception so far. Any feedback? Very much appreciated, if you feel like it!
(EDIT:13/09): Following Episode 9, I re-wrote certain small details.
(EDIT: 11/11): After I wrapped on Season One, I decided to revisit all the installments; cleaned up a little.
...Truly Yours, Kalico.
