Blake and Ruby

I hear Yang and Weiss exit the dorm leaving Ruby and I in silence.

Wait.. Silence? I slowly open my eyes and jump when I spot Ruby standing over my grinning.

"Wha.." I clear my throat. "What do you want Ruby?"

Her eyes seem to sparkle causing a faint blush to spread across my cheeks. "Your ears are out."

I flick my ears and confirm that she is indeed correct. "Yeah.." I trail off, not to sure where this conversation is heading.

Ruby squeals and jumps up and down. "Can I scratch them?"

I almost facepalm at my team leaders childish words. I heave a sigh and sit up. "Fine."

Ruby squeals and sits next to me. Her hands reach up and scratch the base of my ears. My response was instantaneous. I practically go limp causing Ruby to laugh. She lays my head in her lap and continues to scratch my ears. A rumble builds up in my chest and a soft purr escapes my lips.

Ruby giggles at this and stops scratching. "That was so adorable!"

I blush heavily and flatten my ears against my head as I sit up in embarrassment.

Ruby smiles. "Sooo. Yang and Weiss are doing their own thing. Do you wanna go check out the Vytal Festival Fair?" Her legs swing back and forth.

I slowly nod. "Sure. Let me get dressed first and we can head out."

After about ten minutes, Ruby grabs her scroll and closes the dorm room behind us. We chat on our way to the fairgrounds and upon arrival, Ruby squeals. She drags me into a rather long line and purchases these wristbands. She refuses any attempt at me trying to pay for my own. After we get our wristbands, she drags us to another line in front of a rollercoaster ride.

She bounces on the balls of her feet. "I can't wait! This is a new ride apparently!" She then goes to ramble off about the ride.

I occasionally send glances to my team leader and blush. When did she get so cute? I glance up at the actual ride and gulp. If Ruby enjoys it, I'll join her.

I stumble away from the roller coaster cars. Never again.

Ruby leads me to a bench and we sit there as my stomach settles. "You should've told me you didn't like roller coasters."

I gulp and look away from her teary eyes. "You looked really excited and I didn't want to ruin it for you."

Ruby pats my shoulder,"Tell me next Blake. You're my friend."

I can't help but feel mildly disappointed when she calls me her friend. I bury the emotion and give her a small smile. "I'll tell you next time. How about some games?"

Ruby grins and grabs my hand before dragging me off to the games section. Ruby wins a cat plushie in a bottle toss and I end up winning a dog plushie in a shooting game. After playing game after game and handing out our winnings, expect for our original plushies, to children, Ruby drags me over to the Ferris Wheel. We end up getting a cart to ourselves.

Ruby turns to me and grins. "I had fun today."

I smile back. "I did too." I look at the dog plushie in my arms that heavily reminds me of Zwei. "Here." I hand the plushie to Ruby.

She smiles and hands me the cat plushie.

We both smile before looking away with a blush dusting our cheeks.

Ruby clears her throat,"Blake. I… I like like you."

My head snaps up and I face Ruby. "W-What?"

Ruby blushes. "I like you Blake."

I blush and grow nervous. "I like you too Ruby."

Ruby grins and kisses my cheek,"Sweet!"

I blush harder and go to kiss Ruby's cheek in return. She turns her head and our lips collide. Both our eyes widen before we pull away quickly. Ruby blushes even harder,"That was my first kiss."

I blush and smile,"I'm glad."

We spend the rest if the ride sneaking hugs and kisses.

I'd say this was a great way to spend the day.

Ruby and I arrive in the dorm with no sight of Yang or Weiss yet.

Ruby's scroll goes off and her checks her messages. She opens the message from Yang and blushes. She shows me her scroll and on the screen in a picture of Ruby and I kissing on the Ferris Wheel. Ruby grins and sets the photo as her background picture. "I'm off to bed. Goodnight Blake."

We both take turns changing and crawl into our separate beds. I hug the cat plushie and drift off to sleep. Best day ever.
