Chapter 4: Hugs

Ruby woke up the next morning prepared. She had a large stack of waffles covered in syrup, the biggest glass of milk she could find, and quickly downed both. She rushed to the bathroom, quickly took a shower and dried off, then ran back into the room and put on her school uniform. She grabbed her pencils and notebook and ran to her class. She was the first one there, even getting there before her teacher. She decided to take advantage of the situation and do some more studying.

"Ms. Rose, you are here very early!" She heard a voice say.

"Yes I am, Mr. Oobleck! I'm ready for today's test!"

"Oh really? I suppose I will look forward to grading yours then."

Several hours later she was running down the hallway with tears in her eyes. She ran back to the room and tackled her white haired teammate.

"Ow! Ruby, what are you doing!?" Weiss asked angrily.

"Thank you sooooooooooo much Weiss!" Ruby squealed, hugging Weiss.

"What happened?"

"Look, look!" She said, handing Weiss her paper.

"A ninety-eight? I suppose that's good. Better than what you have been getting."

"I know~! Isn't it amazing!?"

"I guess it is. Now please let go of me."

Ruby released her teammate from her grasp.

"Ooh! You know what this calls for?"

"What, dare I ask, would that be?" Weiss asked, standing up.

"It calls for more hugs!"

Her sister Yang watched this unfold with Blake, watching them closely. Ruby could hear Blake ask something.

"Is Ruby always this huggy?"

"Only when she's happy." Yang responded.

Ruby ignored them. She was too busy celebrating her passing grade.

"Can't we celebrate this any other way?" Weiss asked, struggling to remove Ruby's arms from her body.

"Maybe we could watch a movie?" Blake offered.

"If we do, it's going to be after dinner." Yang explained.

"Nah, I'm thinking board games." Said Ruby.

"Still after dinner." Yang piped in.

"I'll go get it!" Ruby exclaimed, running to her collection of board games.

-POV CHANGE: WEISS-

Weiss was never used to being hugged. It felt uncomfortable and claustrophobic, but for some reason she really enjoyed being hugged by Ruby. She was warm and, for the lack of a better word, cuddly. She could get used to this.

She sat on the couch, outstretched her legs and took a light snooze, occasionally opening one eye and observing her team. Not soon after, the smell of mashed potatoes, chicken, and greens began tickling at her nose. Weiss loved mashed potatoes, it wasn't exactly a secret, but she never really told anyone. She could hear Ruby still looking through her collection.

"No, no, no, no, no, no..."

How many board games did she own?

Weiss grinned to herself. She knew that she made the right decision choosing Ruby to be her soulmate. She was cute, she was smart, and she was a little bit ditzy. That last one didn't really matter as much.

"Alright guys! It's ready!" Yang announced.

-POV CHANGE: RUBY-

Oh boy, Ruby thought as she heard the news. Dinner was ready and she was hungry! She was the first one to take their spot at the table and start eating. She loved to eat. It didn't matter what kind of food it was just as long as it was sweet. Sure enough, she was the first one done. She went back to her board games and picked one out.

AN: I hope this can make up for the short chapter last time!
