"Lucky we're in love in every way~
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed~
Lucky to be coming home someday~!"
Jason Mraz - Lucky
*Twang*
Ruby sat there, cross-legged, listening to the sound of her guitar reverb across the room. Like throwing a rock in still water, the barest hint of energy filled the room, bouncing of the sound proofing found in the room and meeting the red-haired balladeer at its center. Ruby's ears twitched subtly before she open her eyes to the room and readjusted the pitch of her guitar.
The small studio has been so familiar to the woman that she could probably find her way around it while closing her eyes. Of course her wife would smack her, but that was only if she was present during one of her recording sessions - which, more often that not she isn't.
Light seeped in the room like droplets of water carefully dripping of the grand container that was the outside world and inside her studio. Ruby looked longingly outside the room though never contemplating her wants to go out of the room and spend time in outside. Though it was close to what she really wanted there was something missing, something important to her indeed.
She looked to the sky now, basking at the beauty of the operatic harmony that the blues and whites of the skies portrays. The still image of her wife instantly came into mind and before she knew it she longed to be beside her Weiss right then and there.
Weiss is what was missing - Going out into the world wasn't enough now is it? Though wise men preach 'It's not the destination, but the journey that matters' Ruby would want to argue otherwise. After all why start a journey without destination? That's why she proudly thought that the destination and journey are two different yet essential things with equivalent importance.
Well . . . Ruby felt that there could be an argument to be made there, after all Yang did just that - traveled without destination. But darnit with all the profound knowledge she's accumulated in her decidedly long life of twenty years Ruby thought that she just really, really wanted to see her wife right now! Ruby defiantly pumped her fist as her silvery eyes flared into life. She will do just that! . . . after recording her acoustic cover that is.
Looking to her guitar once more Ruby adjusted the tone of her guitar once more.
*Twang~*
This time the mellow tune of her guitar under went drastic changes the sound it produced more fluent and vibrant with energy. She smiled mentaly pumping her fist though it was a little shameful, how come someone like her, who has played the guitar for so long, managed to not hear the subtle change in the tonal delivery of her guitar and not adjusted it from being out of tune.
Shameful. Truly shameful. But at least now her guitar was playing full swing and producing the vibrant, very alive sound that it usually had. Ruby played a few cords and a short medley of songs to get everything in order before finally playing the record button on her laptop.
A short cough "This is Ruby Rose of Crescent Rose studio, playing the acoustic cover of "Lucky" by Grayson Mars" After the short introduction Ruby started playing the opening chords of the song. The vibrant and yet abrupt plucking of the chords filled the room with vigor.
As if life had began to sprout around the room the melodious music filled the air with magic, the light felt a little brighter while the reds tapestries of her room along with the white paint of the room had began to almost mimic the gentle swaying of dancers following the beat with the help of wind of course.
"'M do you hear me, Talking to you?"
Ruby's smile instantaneously appeared in her face as soon as the first lines were sung. The brunette couldn't help but add her own spin to the song now, couldn't call a cover without one's own take on the song, after all. Ruby suddenly started sailing her fingers across the frets of her guitar. The following sound it produced were equally laid back and definitely tropical in its feel, as notes spread across multiple frets were forming ascending and descending scales spread across different chords.
"Across the water~ across the deep. blue. Ocean~"
In the short time span that had passed encasing those two stanzas Ruby returned to the traditional chords of the song playing them as if they were staccatos, as the piece dictated, but adding her own spice to the song every so often that was the previous scaling between different chords.
"under the open sky. Oh my, baby I'm trying"
Before she could begin the section of the female voice however Ruby was greeted to the pleasant surprise that was someone else's angelic voice filling in for her. Ruby pondered long and hard before trying to make words just to describe how wonderful that voice was but she always came short somehow.
Calling it the voice of a goddess wouldn't be far of but that would be to overblown and cheesy. Her mind internally giggled at the memory of her delivering that same one-liner to Weiss only to receive Weiss' long face in return. Of course she'd still proudly boast this about her wife - just not around the woman herself.
Still calling it sweet somehow felt even more 'lacking' than any other description. It was one thing though, short, precise and to the point while at the same time being a heart-felt complement handed from her onto Weiss. With the both of them being well-acquainted to the musics Ruby felt that this description would also prove to be more effective, seeing as she was a pro-singer herself.
But that is also held true if Ruby would use any other word. It really just goes to show how hard it was to complement her and her voice and she'd honestly try anyway, even if it was corny or too over-the-top or too tame for comparison she'd try any way, gladly at that.
"'M boy I hear you in my dreams. I feel your whisper across the sea,"
Weiss smiled at her wife as she finally entered her peripheral view, posting herself in front of the mic just across Ruby. Her sky-blue eyed wife sang her heart out mostly taking the spirit of the song to heart. They both fell in love with each other after all - with their best friend. A giddy smile spread across her face, her stomach feeling that same ticklish feeling of butterflies fluttering about inside.
"I keep you with me in my heart. You make it easier~ when life gets hard"
The two kept singing and playing like this with Weiss eventually playing the stray cajole in the room. Their song reverberated as Weiss' bass and Ruby's acoustics blended together like coffee and cream with additional sugar, that being their muse-like and definitely filled with love-struck zeal.
The final chord struck softly and smoothly bringing the entire song into a satisfying finish and finally the two concluded their singing. "That was "Lucky" by Grayson Mars acoustic cover by - now, apparently - yours truly and my gorgeous wife, Weiss Rose." Weiss giggled at the blatant attempt at flirting before purring into the mic "Oh but your even more gorgeous, Ruby" Weiss sent a wink her way causing the dolt to appropriately blush.
"Thank you for listening" Ruby nodded at Weiss' closing remarks before she wrapped up the recording. Facing her wife with an all too familiar smirk she's inherited from her sister, the tell-tale sign that she was about to tease the older woman Ruby began "What a way to steal the snow, princess"
Ruby made sure to drawl out the small tease, her wife scoffed "I saw that you needed a little help and I, of course, gladly obliged. You are welcome" Ruby stood up as she batted away the mic separating the two, sealing their lips and relishing the enrapturing feeling of her wife's sweet lips.
"Thank you then" Another peck "Though we both know I could have handled that alone" Ruby reassured, now sitting at the lap of her white-clad wife. Weiss rose a digit to her wife's mouth, teasing the younger of the two "So you don't want help from me? The audacity." Weiss rose her voice in mock anger as her signature huff followed by her affixing her gaze else where except for the source of her irritation.
Ruby couldn't help but to giggle before she turned she scowled herself, gleefully playing along the small charade of theirs "Your such a meany Weiss!"
"Me? I should be saying that to you!" the digit still in Ruby's mouth slowly shaped into a small concave ark cupping her wife's cute, round face.
"Maybe I should punish you? Hmm."
A peck.
"This way maybe?"
Another.
"Or this?"
She giggled
"Oh, I know~" She almost meowed, in the most sultry way only Weiss could. Which, to say the least, was very sensual indeed. Taking her queue Ruby leaned forward to easily allow for a kiss from the Ivory haired woman. When the two met in the middle -
"What is it with people and having sex, hm? I swear." A familiar streak of gold strutted into the room, her chest perched out like a proud lion. The way she walked perfectly insinuating her well endowed chest "First I walk into Winter and Qrow, now I walk into my sister and her wife having sex in the studio. And I thought this place was for music."
The blonde giggled, the faces of her little sister and second best-friend flaring almost comically red "Well I suppose moans and pleasurable groans could count as music. Could. Not saying that it should though." Yang stifled her giggles, "So are the two of you going to hug me or are you gonna stay there on top of each other, because the only thing you two are missing is a bed before you, ya know . . . get it on" Yang wiggled her eyebrows suggestively.
Her words of course broke them out of their frozen spell, their faces beat red and their actions stiffly coordinated. It was an entertaining sight. The pirouette dolls that were the red and white pair danced sloppily one helping the other as they finally were able to present themselves properly to the blonde. Yang always found it interesting how the two were able to act so gracelessly even if they were perhaps the most well coordinated people that she knew in about every aspect there is. Weiss always held her regal and powerful presence while Ruby's fingers had minds of their own, able to coordinate to form melodies and tunes only attainable once one was able to well . . . think individually. Ruby and Weiss were mesmerizing in their own rights - from time to time.
The two shifted under Yang's gaze for a moment longer. Both were oblivious to the reason as to why Yang still held an amused smirk and her eyes shone devilish whim as she stared on their chests . . . "I think the both of you're not yet done." She pointed to her own chest, more specifically the buttons of her brown, leather, cuffed-sleeved, vest "Gotta button up, ya might get the chills" The two appropriately followed the blonde's orders, buttoning up quickly.
"Yang I really don't know how . . . but when we looked we kinda were . . .-" Ruby fumbled for the words before Weiss coughed to get the attention of the sisters "- . . . Naked. It just kinda happened Yang. Sorry about that" Yang smiled before waving their excuses off "Aww . . . the two of you don't need to make excuses. If anything I'm the one who messed with your moment" She suckered them up in one big hug upon getting their modesty back.
Weiss smiled underneath the great mass that was Yang's golden hair hugging her back at the same time, Ruby doing much the same though it wasn't as subdued as her's. Ruby immediately started jumping joyously in Yang's arms as they were wrapping themselves around each other. "OHHhhh~ Yang its been so long~!" Ruby squealed her delight "You should have called us!"
"And loose my chance to surprise my cute little sister? Hell no." She pulled away from their hug, at least, Weiss pulled out herself too. Ruby was still clinging into Yang. "Though I didn't expect to see princes here too. Not that I don't mind of course."
Weiss sighed, "Well this is the only place other than the house where I could calm down efficiently. Work's been horrible today" her exhaustion finally showing through her weary words. Ruby, always quick to comfort the white haired woman, found herself giving a small massage to Weiss, pleasantly rubbing gentle circles around her shoulder blades and spine line.
"Thanks Ruby. Anyways, works been a little git, the interns fumbling around like imbeciles while some of the employees slacking off like garbage." The woman's face scrounged up sternly as if giving the same lecture to her lousy subordinates. Her face formed into a scowls as she continued "Then there was some retard in the office that decide that messing with my office's filing cabinet was a great idea." she groaned. Ruby's hands quickly flew to her wife's temples messaging the spot in her head, the soothing actions brought comfort to the latter "Chill out, Weiss"
"hehe . . . chill out"
"Shut up Yang." The blonde made a zipping motion on her lips, before shooting her sister a thumbs up. Ruby rolled her eyes "Weiss, I'm pretty sure you just used, like, thirty words to bad-mouth those guys." Weiss sighed again as she interrupted her lovely wife "It was only three words Ruby-"
"Ah pu pu pu pa! le' me finish" Ruby placed a digit in her wife's mouth effectively silencing her "It doesn't matter whether it was thirty or three. What matters is that you allowed yourself to be super stressed out again. And I know, I know it may be deal but you could always get other people to do what you want right? I mean there's Jaune, he's a pretty nice guy, right? He could do all the sorting for you. So don't get too stressed out will you."
The older woman sighed her resignation to the brunette, knowing that arguing will get her nowhere. At times like those it was just better to allow Ruby to best her and follow what she says. The girl might be a dunce from time to time but she was wise in her own way.
"Now that's over with I want a little talk with you girls."
