"I can guess what you're thinking…" Began Ruby. It was her turn to have the spot light. "Why would you break the law? Why would you go out with a guy almost five years older than you? Let me tell you a little story. I think you might like it…" She took a deep breathe, her story was finally going to be told. A weight was going to be lifted off her shoulders after two long years of it weighting her down.
"So you want to be the first person to know the whole truth…." A small chuckle came out, almost evil. "Well consider yourself lucky because I'm only going to say this once Ozpin. Two years ago I was kidnapped by Roman Torchwick. I got to know a girl named Neo, who helped me escape without my knowledge. She was cool, I miss her actually. In those two months I was gone, I was lead to believe that my team was dead and that life in the outside world was the worst. One night Roman comes home drunk and bing bam my whole life changes. Things changed in that apartment and I found myself falling for my own kidnapper." She stopped, judging if she should go on. This was such a stupid idea, she could get in so much trouble for what she was about to say. In the heat of the moment she decided it didn't matter.
"Later, Neo pisses off Roman and reminds me of the Roman I hate. I get scared so I run all the way back to Beacon. I get here and pass out. Everyone only asks questions I don't want to answer so I avoid my team and everyone around me. I have a nightmare so I walk in an alley only to find Roman there and things happened. We both agreed that we loved each other, and I've been dating him ever since. Next month is our anniversary and next month he will die…" She wanted to add some snarky remark at the end but it wouldn't have been the best when she'd just confessed her heart out to her Headmaster. Ozpin didn't seem mad, or disappointed. "That Ozpin… is the whole truth…"
It wasn't the whole truth of course, but it was enough. Ozpin didn't need to know about the alcohol, the sex and all the other things she'd done with or without Roman. He must have bought it, even if he didn't that's all he was going to get.
"Now that you've told me the whole truth, I can help you…" He said. It was almost like he was the old Ozpin again. The one that seemed like he wanted to be more of your friend then a headmaster. Those were old days, two years was a long time. People changed, the world changed. It was something everyone had to get over. "I'll override General Ironwood's orders. I'll allow you to be authorized personal. Our excuse will be that you want more than one chance to laugh at him. I'll allow the guards to leave the area. You two can … kiss between the bars." A small chance of hope grew in Ruby, she'd never expected anything like this from him.
"You're not going to punish me?" She dared to ask as he handed her a badge. A badge that singled that she was authorized personal and was allowed to be alone with the criminal in question.
"No. I will not punish you for dating a criminal or someone who's over age. I will not punish you for everything he's made you do over the years…" He raised his eyebrows. Ruby shrugged, the crimes they had committed were small and pitiful. "There are no cameras around his cell, you will not be monitored."
"Why help me?" Another question, he didn't give an answer. He simply told her his goodbye and good luck. Visiting hours ended soon anyways.
~O~
For a prison cell, it was quite comfortable. Roman really couldn't complain about it. The guards were of course rude to him and the General only wanted information out of him. When he wasn't being integrated, he found himself in his cell and day dreaming. The day dreams would consist of anything that he could think of. Crimes, parties, escape but most of all Red. He won't be in this if it wasn't for her. As much as he told himself that, he couldn't bring himself to fully blame her. He loved her too much to be able to blame her.
He leaned his head back on the cold cement of the wall behind him. It was so silent, always silent here. He closed his eyes. A door opened and it took everything in him not to groan. It was most likely the general, back for another round of questioning. It wouldn't work, they would never get a drop of information out of him.
"Roman!"
The voice almost made him jump. A small part of him was somewhat mad that she was here, another part was glad. He was mostly glad.
"Red?" He asked, he didn't open his eyes or move his head. He was too scared to, it was most likely just another day dream that was so real it hurt.
"Roman, I'm here… we're not being watched. I promise you that much…" He could hear the sadness in her voice. A small thunk as she fell to the ground. "I'm so sorry… It's all my fault…"
He got up, walked to the edge of the bars. Sure enough the guards had moved, the back of their head could be seen through the small window in the door.
"Shhhh… Red it's not your fault. It's your teammates… it's my own. It's no ones. I don't know! Just …." Words failed to form. Seeing Ruby in tears made him fail to find words. The door opened once again, just enough for the guard to warn them they only had one minute till Ruby had to leave. "Red, it's okay. I'm going to be fine." He could barely trust his own word, how could he expect Ruby to trust them too.
"They're giving you one month…" Each word came as a punch, it wasn't even the hard part. "Then they plan to execute you…." The hard part was out, that was it. The killing blow. He gestured for her to get close to him, she followed orders. She leaned her head as close to the bars as she could, he kissed her on the forehead then leaned down.
"I'll be out of here in half the time."
The minute was up, Ruby had to leave.
