Chapter Two.
Third Person.
In the dimly lit bedroom, cuddling under thick sheets of white, Yang and Neo held one another close. The blonde held Neo to her chest, clinging to her for dear life in her deepest of dreams. The smaller woman held Yang's waist, each of her perfectly paced breaths completely in synch with Yang's. As their chests rose- and fell shortly after- neither women were aware of the movements a familiar silver eyed girl was making downstairs. Instead they were both content holding one another, basking in the warmth of each other. However the peace was soon broken when the distant sound of a door slamming closed awoke them.
Royal purple eyes opened groggily, sparing a few blinks before attempting to look at the alarm clock nearby. It read '7:00am'. This instantly made Yang groan in annoyance, the mere thought of the early morning already making her nauseous. Of course a small giggle pulled Yang from her scowling match with the electronic device. Looking down in her arms Yang's eyes met Neo's, a small smile being shared between the duo.
"No matter how many mornings we share, I will never get tired of you glaring holes into that blasted alarm clock" Neo spoke softly, knowing she needn't speak louder for Yang was listening intently.
"It just reminds me I can't keep you in my arms forever" Yang sighed, leaning down to steal a kiss.
Neo returned the kiss ten fold, enjoying every second of the tender contact. It was a simple action on Yang's part, however between the couple it was an intimate display of affection that spoke volumes. The blond smiled into the kiss, a slight tingle sliding down her spine, making her hairs stand on end. This was something that happened quite a lot when Yang kissed Neo, in fact it convinced Yang even more that even the simple action of their lips connecting was purely electric.
In fact this made kissing Neo even more irresistible to Yang, and the purple eyed woman quickly found herself getting carried away, wanting more and more.
"Y-Yang" Neo whispered between kisses, trying in vein to regain some control.
It was however all for naught when Yang rolled over, pushing Neo down further into the mattress as her hot lips found the smaller woman's neck.
"I have to meet with a client this mo-morning Y-Yang. W-we can-can't do this now. I'll be l-late" Neo almost whimpered, her arms holding onto Yang as the blond kissed a trail downwards at an agonizingly slow pace. Yang only paused to grin up at Neo before moving upwards once more, her lips curled into a smirk as she peppered Neo's ear with kisses.
"But wouldn't you rather spend more time with me? After all, your meeting isn't within the next hour is it?" Yang whispered, her smooth voice sending shivers through Neo and giving the smaller woman knots in the pit of her stomach.
"N-no" Neo admitted reluctantly, groaning slightly as she felt the blond suck ever so slightly on her ear lobe before nibbling gently. Each of Yang's actions were pushing all the right buttons in Neo, forcing the smaller woman to succumb and feel her core burn in excitement and anticipation. A grin quickly slid across the taller woman's lips as she pulled back, staring down at the woman below her.
"Then we should be able to have some fun first" Yang spoke, her husky morning voice the perfect blend of sexy and irresistible.
Barely a second passed before their lips came crashing together again, Neo's back arching upwards, pressing her naked body flush against Yang. Their cores burned in desire, begging for the other as desperately as they could.
Pressing her knee between Neo's legs, Yang smirked as the smaller woman broke away and gasped. She rocked her body slightly, a small groan escaping her as Yang watched in arousal. both of them enjoying the movements immensely. Their lips met once again, hungrily but still lovingly.
However this time when they broke apart Yang's mouth immediately clamped down on Neo's neck, the smaller woman helpless to her senses as pleasure rolled through her and her finger nails clawed down her designated scratching post.
The blonds hands quickly found Neo's hips, squeezing the flesh affectionately before ghosting upwards, goose bumps in her wake. As soon as Yang's hands grasped Neo's breasts they both knew there was no turning back, and so they took the plunge into the abyss together.
The rich smell of steaming hot coffee filled Ruby's nose as she scurried across campus, her small legs surprisingly carrying her along at a quick pace. With ever so slightly messy hair and frantic eyes Ruby searched for a familiar head of ginger hair amongst the dwindling numbers of people already roaming the grounds.
No Ruby wasn't late. In fact she was rather early. The silver eyed girl was actually more so excited tan anything else; she only slowed down her sprint when her phone buzzed in her pocket. With expert precision practices over time Ruby fished her phone from her pocket, her eyes immediately reading the text that flashed across the screen.
'Ruby I understand you're very eager but everyone is looking at you like you have four heads. I recommend walking calmly before you crash into someone XD'
Ruby snorted slightly as she grinned, instantly looking up from the phone to see a familiar friend waving her over. Ignorant to everyone around her -and ignoring the previous message- Ruby jogged the rest of the way over to Penny.
The green eyed girl giggled as Ruby neared, both girl's eyes lighting up as mutual grins slipped across their features.
"Sorry I'm late!" Ruby panted slightly, jumping to a stop half a step from Penny.
"If by late you mean ten minutes early then yes, you're late. You should be ashamed of yourself" Penny laughed.
The duo had been friends for a while, their shared love of mechanical engineering bringing them closer. When they first met Penny was very naïve when it came to jokes. Of course being around Ruby has rubbed off on her, the green eyed girl now almost as goofy as Ruby. However Ruby's obsession with anything and everything sugary is a quality that has eluded Penny – not that she'd like to share it.
Ruby finally took a deep breath, her mischievous silver eyes meeting Penny's emerald. It was a simple gesture but they both understood what to do.
Both girls held their right hands out, their palms diving down before sweeping upwards – both the girl's cheerily speaking in unison.
"Salutations!" they beamed, an inside joke between them never getting old.
After Penny had greeted Ruby with the simple but rather unused term it stuck as a greeting for the duo, their own personal homage to their friendship.
Once they had shared a giggle Ruby spoke up.
"Today's the day!" she beamed excitedly, quickly stealing a sip of her coffee and instantly regretting it as she mumbled "hot".
"Yes it is. You really are excited to build Crescent Rose aren't you" Penny smiled sweetly.
"Of course! The designs have been finished for months and just sat on my desk waiting for Qrow to approve them" Ruby pouted, "I bet he's just been hesitant because the device can actually be used as a weapon" she grumbled, irritated that her teacher didn't appreciate her taking the task set too literally. Granted he expected them to make whatever they wanted, he couldn't anticipate that Ruby would go further than make the weapon look nice; Ruby wanted to show she was capable.
"Well when you mentioned Dust cartridges could be used he may have thought you were planning on committing several acts of crime" Penny smiled, now leisurely walking down the stone path with Ruby.
At this Ruby snorted and responded with, "It has one shot and then it breaks – I'm lucky he even approved it Penny. Remember, I only need it to work once and I can be graded with flying colours" she grinned with childish glee and utmost certainty. Penny simply ruffled Ruby's hair, much to the scarlet girl's protest.
"I'm sure you will Ruby" the ginger beauty smiled before her watch beeped, signalling her departure. "Sorry Ruby, I'll meet you class. I have to hand in my assignment to professor Goodwitch" Penny spoke up, waving slightly as she jogged off.
"Bye then!" Ruby laughed, never getting tired of Penny always being so punctual. The assignment the emerald eyed girl was handing in is actually due in two weeks, but as usual Penny would have it completely done and dusted within days of it being set.
With a happy sigh Ruby skipped onwards, taking a large swig of her coffee which had cooled enough for her tongue not to be scolded once again. This caused a satisfied hum to resonate through Ruby as she felt the hot liquid warm her body.
If the scarlet girl had been paying attention, she would have noticed an amber eyed beauty walking her way only a step on her right, looking down at the phone in hand. The woman had tight fitting leather trousers, the thin material leaving little to the imagination as she walked in creeper boots. Her hair was styled with slight curls and was jet black, emanating a devious aura. She also had a leather jacket over a red shirt with yellow markings, each looking more and more like gibberish.
Of course when Ruby did notice the beauty clad in leather, well everything was sent spinning. Suddenly one misstep sent Ruby crashing to the ground, her flailing arms pulling another body with her. Ruby slammed her eyes shut as she felt her body thud against the ground, another pressed intimately close against her own.
It was only the sound of someone cursing that pulled Ruby back into reality. With much reluctance Ruby looked up, amber eyes staring back at her. She blushed at the intensity of the gaze but couldn't look away. The girl – well woman actually- looked back at her with mixed emotions. She looked concerned yet angry, irritated but curious.
"Are you alright?" she asked, her voice sending Ruby's heart into over drive.
"Y-Yeah" was all she could manage which caused the woman above her to chuckle slightly.
"Here, let me help you" She smiled gently, treating Ruby with caution- as if she was a frightened mouse in the grip of a hungry cat.
The black haired beauty pushed herself off of Ruby, pulling the smaller girl up with her as she went. Ruby noted that while the girl's eyes held a hind of a cold demeanor, her hands were soft and warm, as if begging her to hold on for a little while longer – their skin brushing unbearably close.
Now stood at full height and their hands not willing to let go, they opted to simply stare at one another a little while longer. Of course until Ruby felt reality come crashing down.
"Oh my god I am so sorry I just slipped and took to down with me and-" she panicked, only the sound of laughter halting her. Heat rose in her cheeks as the other woman's laughter rung out, almost as if it was a song that invaded Ruby's ears and took her to cloud nine.
"Calm down, everyone has...accidents" she drawled out, her fingers brushing Ruby's cheek before cupping it. "Besides, how could I be angry at someone as adorable as you?" she grinned, her finger tapping Ruby's nose.
Ruby was speechless at how the woman was behaving, dare Ruby think...was she flirting? Before Ruby could even form any words the woman spoke again.
"I don't mean to be rude but, there's coffee all over you shirt" she pointed out.
Ruby looked down and gasped, her eyes finding a crushed paper coffee cup on the ground.
"Oh no! I have a class in a few minutes! I can't go in looking like this" she panicked, desperately patting the dampened shirt but to no avail.
It was only when she felt a weight press on her shoulder's that she realized the woman had removed her jacket and was no putting it on her.
"Here, take my jacket. It'll keep you warm and hide that pesky stain" she smiled gently, unaware her actions were making Ruby slightly hot and bothered.
The leather jacket immediately surrounded Ruby in a familiar warmth, the intensity sending a shiver down her spine. However it was the smell that captivated her the most, it was enticing but foreboding. Safe but dangerous.
"Now, run along little red. You don't want to be late do you?" she grinned.
"N-no, of course not" Ruby stuttered.
"I'll see you around then" she waved before turning to leave.
It was so casual that Ruby was immediately thrown off.
"W-wait! What about your jacket?!" she called out, the woman stopping to look back.
"I told you, I'll see you around. I'll need that back remember" she winked before strutting off, leaving no more room for conversation.
Ruby would have been fine with that but one thing cause her to mutter under her breath.
"I didn't even get your name"
