Author's Note- RWBY Relationship Week day four, today I rolled Penny and Ruby or Nuts and Dolts as it's usually called. I'm not a big fan of this ship but I see why people do like it and I thought this would be a good short little drabble for it. Sorry it's a little shorter than the other three stories but like I said I'm not a big fan of this ship and I was busy with something else. Hope you guys like it and remember to Read, Review, Favorite, Follow, and most importantly Enjoy!
Ruby was sitting on her haphazard bunk bed, doing her best to ignore the gentle sway the ropes holding up caused. The red haired girl was currently adjusting the sights on Crescent Rose and giving her beloved weapon a much needed tune up. It was an average day at Beacon and Ruby had a free period right now so she had come straight from class to work on her sweetheart not even bothering to change out of her uniform and just taking the time to remove her shoes before hopping onto her bed and getting to work. The constant movement of her bed however was making the finer fixes more difficult and after a moment Ruby dropped her tools on the bed. She glanced from her bed suspended above Weiss with rope to Yang's bed which was held above Blake's with stacks of hardcover books. We should really look into something better, oooh ,maybe that can be our next team mission! We could use something a little more relaxing after the whole incident with the breach, at least Blake is finally taking care of herself. Compacting her weapon into it's travel form the Huntress in training hopped off her bed, landing lightly on her feet and strolling over to the table in the corner of the room that the heiress insisted they have. Grabbing her scroll Ruby opened the device and checked if anyone had called her while she had been busy with Crescent Rose. Nothing, still haven't heard from her Ruby thought sadly as she went through her calls and messages for what must have been the twentieth time, coming to the same conclusion she had reached the other times. Where are you Penny? You said you weren't going to disappear again, the breach in Vale's defenses and invasion of Grimm caused by Torchwick and the White Fang had been two weeks ago. Since then Ruby hadn't heard anything from her cybernetic friend, a secret that the scythe wielder had been careful with not telling anyone not even Yang.
With no warning there was a sudden knocking on the door of team RWBY's dorm room.
"One minute!" Ruby called out, putting the scroll down she reached over and turned the handle on the door opening it.
"Greetings friend Ruby!" announced none other than Penny, standing happily in front of Ruby saluting the shorter girl.
"Penny! You're here, what are you doing here? How did you find my dorm? Where have you been? How have you been?" Ruby asked, her words moving as fast as lightning as she looked Penny up and down.
"I asked for directions! I've been with my father, he had some questions after the breach, and I have been sensational!" Penny answered all of Ruby's questions just as quickly as she had been asked. With a shake of her head the red haired girl hugged her orange haired friend, when her arms wrapped around the other girl though she noticed something. Peering over Penny's shoulder, Ruby gasped at what she saw.
"Penny why is there a knife in your shoulders?" Ruby shouted, turning her cybernetic friend around to get a better look at the blade. It was sticking out of Penny's back between her shoulders blades, it was a simple knife with nothing special or out of the ordinary about it.
"There were bad men surrounding a nice couple, I told them to stop and they didn't listen. When they were running one of the men put the knife there but don't worry Ruby it didn't cause any significant damage."
"Penny you have a knife in you that is significant damage and why would you do that by yourself?"
"Because that's what you would do and I wanted to make you happy," Penny replied without hesitation, unaware of the effects her words had on the leader of team RWBY. Right away Ruby felt her cheeks warm up as blood rushed to them and her heart started to beat faster.
"Alright well… just come in and I'll help get the knife out and fix you up."
"Do you have mechanical skills?" Penny inquired, still facing away from Ruby as the silver eyed girl continued to examine the weapon jutting out of Penny.
"Are you kidding me? I built my scythe with my own two hands!" Ruby boasted "I'll be able to fix you up no doubt about it."
"Fantastic!" Penny answered enthusiastically as she turned around and started walking into the dorm room only to be stopped by Ruby.
"And Penny, I'm glad you are alright and that you came here for my help," Ruby murmured gently, quickly leaning forward and kissing Penny's cheek before darting back into the room with a heavy blush, letting the other girl enter, the synthetic person closing the door behind her as she walked in.
