A/N: I'm trying to get back into writing and find some inspiration… that's it. Enjoy the chapter everyone~
Ruby sat on her bed and pondered her options. She could approach her about it, yes, or she could hint towards it and hope that things worked out, she didn't like that idea. Her thought of what to do the previous day sounded a lot more sinister in her head, but in actual fact she was just going to ask her about it. She sighed in disappointment as she jumped to her feet and straightened out her sweater.
It was Sunday so she still didn't have classes. She pulled out her phone and opened Weiss' contact again. She didn't have the confidence to text Blake, but she thought her roommate would be just as good. She had waited till at least noon, so the snow haired girl would most likely be awake by NOW, Ruby would hope.
"Hey Weiss, you awake?" The first message read.
"Yes, what is it?" The heiress sent back.
"Does Blake usually go to the library on weekends?" Ruby didn't want to dance around it, but she didn't want to make the fact that she wanted to spend time with Blake too obvious.
"Normally, yes. Why do you ask?" Ruby used the answer she could think of.
"No reason" And she left it at that.
Signal library, 12:20…
Ruby walked around until she saw Blake sitting in the exact same spot as the day before. She didn't doubt Blake had already noticed she was there, so he just walked up looking as casual as possible.
"You really like to read, don't you?" Ruby tried.
"And you really like asking me questions, now was there something you wanted to say?" Blake asked while not looking away from her book.
"N-nothing in particular, besides one thing…" Ruby trailed off.
"And that is?" Blake finally made eye contact.
"W-well, when I woke up from my nap yesterday, I had this sticky substance on my cheek and it felt a bit warm. Do you know what might have caused it?" Ruby didn't want to just come out and say it, that'd be a strange way to start.
"What are you trying to ask me, Ruby?" Blake asked a little faster and blushing an almost unnoticeable pink.
"Well, did you have anything to do with that?" Ruby was surprised how well she was acting natural.
"I might have… but what does it matter?" Blake asked defensively. "So what?"
"Blake, if you did what I think you did, I want to know if it meant anything, or you just felt like it and thought nothing better to do" Ruby was still talking seriously, but calmly. She wanted answers more than anything, but she wasn't about to just shout at her 'till she got one.
"Fine, I kissed you on the cheek, what does it matter?" Blake was clearly getting annoyed. Ruby just giggled slightly.
"What?"
"You're really cute when you're all flustered like this" Ruby said cutely.
Blake didn't say anything, she just buried her face back into her book. So much so, that Ruby could barely see the girl's face anymore. She sat herself on the side of Blake, now noticing that Blake's guitar case rested on the other side of her. "You really are talented. You know that, don't you?" Still no response. "Oh, come on Blake. You don't have to be embarrassed" Ruby said as she started to rub in between the bow atop the other girl's head in an attempt to ruffle her hair and get some reaction.
It got one, just not the one she was expecting.
Blake began to vibrate slightly from her chest and a small, raspy noise escaped her mouth. Her eyes shut and her head tilted in Ruby's direction. If Ruby didn't think Blake was cute before, she definitely did now. Still, she had to find this act rather strange. "Uh, um, B-blake? What are you doing?"
Blake's eyes darted open with a jump and she reared back. Her face turned a bright red as she stared at the face the floor. "N-nothing!" Blake burst out.
"Were you… purring?" Ruby asked, trying to supress her laughter.
Blake let out a long sigh. "I didn't want anyone to know…"
Ruby raised an eyebrow and adorned a confused face. "Know… what?"
Blake looked more ashamed than anything. She lifted one of the sides of her bow and revealed one violet coloured cat ear. Ruby froze.
"You think I'm a freak now, don't you?" Blake asked, tears brimming in her eyes.
Blake felt wetness on her cheeks, but then she felt good. Nice, completely at ease. She felt the same rubbing as before, but focused on one particular ear. Ruby was massaging the velvety fur between her fingers. Blake felt the same vibrations in her chest beginning to start. Then it was Blake's turn to freeze. She felt something soft and wet upon her cheeks. She flushed as her eyes turned to see Ruby's own eyes were closed and she had pressed her small lips against the side of Blake's head. She broke away after a few seconds.
"I don't think you're anything of the sort, Blake. I think you're the cutest sight I've ever laid my eyes on. I'm going to get something to read while I'm here" Ruby informed her. She got up to leave and do as she said, but Blake pulled her back down. She nuzzled the girl's head into her chest and sighed.
"Do it in a minute" She said. "Just… rest here for a while…" She closed her eyes as her body began to heat up from the other girl's warmth, while Ruby did the same. They lay there, snuggled together as they let all other worries the might have had wash away. A small smile rested upon both of their faces.
Hours later, around dinner time…
Blake awoke slowly and was happy to see the younger girl still resting in her arms. She shook the young musician as she wiggled her arms free from the other's grasp. Ruby looked confused for a moment before the realization of what transpired before she fell asleep hit her. She smiled up at the faunus before her and reached hand up.
"Boop" She said as she poked the end of her nose.
Blake smiled back and let out a short giggle. They both rose and decided to head down to the cafeteria for dinner. Ruby reached for Blake's hand, but then pulled it away. Blake was now the one with the look of confusion. "S-sorry, I-I just… what am I to you?" Ruby asked, her face one of fear of a bad answer.
Blake just smiled kindly at her and put her hand around Ruby's chin. Ruby's eyes widened as Blake brought Ruby's lips to her own. Her eyes fluttered shut after a moment and her brain shut off to allow her the utmost bliss in this moment.
They broke after a while and they stared into each other's eyes. "Come on" Blake said as she took Ruby's hand in her own, intertwining their fingers.
They walked off together, happy…
