Ruby POV:
After I left Blake, I went back to the dorm room to brainstorm some ideas of getting Velvet to fall for me. After about half an hour of brainstorming, I still have nothing… "Stupid! Useless! Brain!" I yell, hitting my head with my hand after every word.
"Wow, washed up at fifteen. How sad." Someone says from behind. I turn around to see Velvet standing at the door with Blake, who had said that to me.
"Hi Blake, h-hi Velvet." I say, nervously.
"Hello Ruby." Velvet says to me. Oh my gosh, she knows my name… I thought she wouldn't know it… "Do you mind if I sit next to you?" I shake my head no, so she pulls up a chair right next to me and sits down. "So what are you up to?"
"J-just coming up with… ideas to get someone to like me…" I get out, finally. I can tell her interest is piqued, but I'm not going any deeper into it, because if I do, then she'll find out.
"Seems interesting. Do you mind if I ask you who said person is?" Velvet asks, to which I shake my head really quickly. Her smile loses some of its luster for a second, but then she realizes something. "Hey, why don't you guys come over to my dorm? I mean, you haven't really talked with any of my team members yet. Sound good?"
"That sounds fun enough." Blake says before I even have time to answer. I shoot her a glare that basically screams 'WHAT ARE YOU DOING?'
"Great. Let's go. I'll lead the way. Just follow me." Velvet says with a large smile on her face. Crap crap crap crap crap! I can't go to Velvet's dorm! However, even with my nervous interior, I feign a smile.
"O-ok then Velvet." I say, following her out of my team's dorm and through the school to the second year students' rooms.
"Aaaaand here we are!" Velvet says, motioning towards the door, which is split into four color sections. Tan, red, brown, and green. Then, where the four colors touch, there is a big 'CFVY' sprawled across the door.
"This is nice." Blake says, looking at the intricate color patterns.
"Well, wait until you see the inside." She says, opening the door. I go wide eyed at how big and decorated it is. "After you, Ruby." I walk inside, and I thought that I saw Velvet and Blake high-five after I stepped inside. All of a sudden, Blake scroll goes off. She looks at it then looks back at me.
"Sorry Ruby, I gotta go. Yang wants me to help her with something. Bye. See ya' Velvet." Blake waves and leaves, leaving only Velvet and I in her team's dorm room. Damn it, why did she have to leave now of all times?
"So, Ruby… Can I ask what you do in your free time?" Velvet asks, walking towards me again. I can feel my heart start to race the closer she gets to me.
"I… uh, work on my uh, weapon and… stuff." I stutter out, turning red in the process.
"Well that's cool. I still haven't fully developed mine yet, but thankfully, I can fight on my own, without a weapon."
"Personally, I prefer fighting with weapons, but that's pretty cool." I say, trying to not make eye contact with Velvet. She's making it pretty difficult, moving into my line of vision and trying to make eye contact with me whenever I try to look away.
"Yeah, I guess a weapon would make it easier and put less stress on my body, but I don't know what I want my weapon to be…"
"Maybe… If you wanted to… I could help you… maybe, design one?" I say, still not looking at her.
"Ruby, look at me. Please." Velvet almost begs. I turn to look at her, expecting her to just be standing there in front of me, wanting me to look at her, but instead, as I turn, she grabs my head and pulls me into a kiss. Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh. Is she kissing me? It feels like she is, but I don't know. Didn't she give her number to Blake? What's even happening? While I was thinking, I didn't even notice Velvet opening her mouth and asking for entrance. I finally realize what she is doing, and I open my mouth to let her in. The kiss quickly becomes more passionate as she pushes me onto her bed so we can keep kissing and not worry about standing up. My lust fuels my want of this kiss to last longer and longer, and apparently, so does Velvet's.
"*cough* Ahem." Someone says, immediately snapping Velvet and I out of our little trance, both of us blushing intensely.
"C-Coco! What are you doing here?" Velvet asks, yelling at the same time.
"I thought I would see what you two were up to, and it's apparently more than I thought." Coco says, smiling because she caught us.
Velvet POV: (30 minutes earlier)
A harsh ring fills the room. I pick up my phone and notice that it's an unknown number from the school, which means Blake. Perfect. Just in time for me to plan how to get Ruby. "Hello?" I ask as I answer my Scroll.
"Hey Velvet, this is Blake. I just want to tell you that I'm not interested in you the way that you are in me. I just wanted to tell you so you wouldn't be hurt later on." Blake says over the phone. I smile to myself, knowing how great my plan has been working already.
"Yeeaaahhhh… About that. I was never interested in you. I did that to see Ruby's reaction."
"Why would you need to see Ruby's reaction?"
"Let's just say that the reaction that she gave was the one I hoped would happen." I explain, blushing slightly at the thought of Ruby being jealous of Blake because she likes me.
"So… You WANTED her to be jealous of me? Wh- Oh… So you like her?"
"I mean, I guess so… Don't tell her. Please don't." I plead, holding the phone really close to my face.
"Don't worry about me. I don't go broadcasting who people like around to everybody. Your secret is safe with me." Blake says, reassuring me that it's going to be fine.
"Thank you Blake. This means a lot to me. The question is… How am I going to get Ruby to find out that I like her? She thinks I like you." I ask.
"That's a good point. She's in our team's dorm right now how to get you to like her. Since she likes you, you can just tell her, or you can do something more special, like give her the thing that is obvious from her name, a rose. Or, if you don't really want to ask her per say, you can always go with a surprise kiss, catching her off guard, showing if she really likes you that way too by the way she responds to it, AND expressing your feelings for her at the same time. Not that you have to do any of those. I'm just saying that that's how I would do it."
"Yeah, those are all good ideas, just not for me… except maybe that last one. I want to do that one, but I don't know where I could do that at, or if I could at all." I say, pacing back and forth across my team's dorm.
"Well, you should probably get her alone if you're going to do that last one. Try getting her alone in a place that you know and feel comfortable in. Maybe like your team's dorm?" Blake asks, waiting for my answer, or approval, or whatever.
"That sounds good. How am I going to get her in my team's dorm room though?" I ask, inquisitively.
"Ok, let's make a plan. I will go with you to my team's dorm, then you will try to get as close to Ruby as you want to. After a while, you should ask if we wanted to go to your team's dorm. I can set an alarm on my phone that sounds like a message. I'll say that Yang or Weiss wants me down wherever to help them with something. Then, I have to leave, and you two are in there alone."
"Sounds good so far…" I say, wanting more.
"Ok, start off with some small talk when you're alone, then, when you think the time is right, surprise kiss. Sound good?"
"Yes it does. I think this will work very well. Thank you, Blake."
"Any time. So, let's meet right outside the hall that leads to my dorm, and then I'll walk you there. We'll go inside, you'll get Ruby kinda situated, get us to your room, I'll leave, and then you'll make your move. Hopefully, she'll accept it.
"Yeah… Yeah… Sounds like a good plan. I'll see you there. Goodbye." I say, hanging up, and then skipping towards the hall that goes to team RWBY's dorm room. I see Blake standing by the hall, and so I skip over to her.
"Excited?" She asks, raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah, and a little nervous too. But that'll go away soon enough. I hope…" I say, twisting ever so slightly back and forth
"Yeah, you two would make a cute couple. I'm rooting for you."
"Th-thanks, Blake" I say, blushing slightly.
"Yeah, no problem. Let's go. It seems like enough time has passed since we last saw our caped crusader." Blake says, walking towards their team's dorm. We get there, and the door is standing open.
Ruby is at a desk, hitting her head with her hand and yelling "Stupid! Useless! Brain!"
"Wow, washed up at fifteen. How sad." Blake says, startling Ruby. Ruby turns around and sees us.
"Hi Blake, h-hi Velvet." She says to us.
"Hello Ruby." I say, walking up so I could be really close to her. "Do you mind if I sit next to you?" I ask, earning a shake of the head 'no'. I pull up a chair and sit next to her. "So what are you up to?"
"J-just coming up with… ideas to get someone to like me…" She stutters, turning a little red. This gets my attention because I want to see if she ACTUALLY likes me, or if she was angry at Blake for some other reason earlier.
"Seems interesting. Do you mind if I ask you who said person is?" I ask, to which she shakes her head very fast. Faster than any person who liked someone else would normally shake their head under said circumstance. "Hey, why don't you guys come over to my dorm? I mean, you haven't really talked with any of my team members yet. Sound good?" I ask, getting that second step of getting her to the dorm out of the way. I can tell that Ruby wants to say something, but Blake beats her to it.
"That sounds fun enough." She says. Ruby gives her a look, but agrees to go anyways. I smile to myself when Ruby gets up and starts to move towards the door.
"Great. Let's go. I'll lead the way. Just follow me." I say, leading them through the halls of Beacon and up to my team's dorm.
"O-ok then Velvet." Ruby says, following me. After a while of walking through Beacon, we finally make it to my dorm.
"Aaaaand here we are!" I say, gesturing to my door. Blake stands there looking at the color patterns for a good while.
"This is nice." Blake says.
"Well, wait until you see the inside." I say to both of them, opening the door. Ruby goes wide-eyed. "After you, Ruby." I say, gesturing inside. Ruby goes inside and starts looking around. I look at Blake, who looks at me. I give her a high-five real quick before her Scroll starts to vibrate.
"Sorry Ruby, I gotta go. Yang wants me to help her with something. Bye. See ya' Velvet." Blake says, winking at me. Let's hope this goes well. Now, I need some small talk. Small talk… I got it!
"So, Ruby… Can I ask what you do in your free time?" I ask, trying to break the ice some.
"I… uh, work on my uh, weapon and… stuff." Ruby says, stuttering through her sentence.
"Well that's cool. I still haven't fully developed mine yet, but thankfully, I can fight on my own, without a weapon."
"Personally, I prefer fighting with weapons, but that's pretty cool." Ruby says, not looking at me. Damnit Ruby. Why do you have to make this so complicated?
"Yeah, I guess a weapon would make it easier and put less stress on my body, but I don't know what I want my weapon to be…" I say, shrugging my shoulders.
"Maybe… If you wanted to… I could help you… maybe, design one?" Ruby says, fidgeting a little in her seat. That's when I need to know. I need to know if she likes me. I must know… I'll get her with a surprise kiss now.
"Ruby, look at me. Please." I say, sounding a little more on the begging side than I would like, but whatever. It does the trick anyways. She turns to look at me, and just before we make eye contact, I close my eyes, grab her face and pull it close to mine, making us kiss. I can tell that Ruby is shocked by me doing this, because I'm normally not as daring and rather shy. She is hesitant at first, and when I feel her starting to warm up to the kiss, I move my tongue over her lips, asking for entrance, which she almost immediately gives me. I push her onto my bed so that it's more comfortable.
"*cough* Ahem." A familiar voice comes from the door. Shit. Coco came back earlier than I thought she would. I break the kiss and start blushing really really intensely. Red enough to rival Ruby's cape.
"C-Coco! What are you doing here?" I yell at Coco.
"I thought I would see what you two were up to, and it's apparently more than I thought." She says, smiling that we were caught in the act. Well shit.
