Blake loved Ruby's hair.

There was, in fact, quite little about Ruby that the faunus was not fond of, but the brunette's hair always stood out.

It was feather soft to the touch, held the faintest scent of strawberries, and was a brown so dark it was almost black. Of course, having Yang Xiao Long for a sister, it was a simple matter of fact that the younger girl's hair was near perfect.

Blake could, and often would, spend hours batting at the soft strands or running her fingers through them while Ruby read or played a video game. It was one of Blake's favorite past times besides reading and she would glare daggers at anyone that suggested otherwise.

These were of course, all things that Ruby was keenly aware of, which is why she was fidgeting where she stood and nervously playing with the ends of her hair. Ends that now sported new, red highlights. It had been a spur of the moment decision, one encouraged by her sister and enabled by her mother, and while she herself quite liked them, she was afraid that her closest friend might not.

She needn't have been.

"They look amazing, Ruby." Blake said with a warm smile.

The newly made crimsonette broke out into the largest smile the older girl had ever seen and let out a squeal of delight before throwing her arms around Blake's neck.

Blake hugged her friend back, letting the familiar sound of her purr rumble through her chest.

She'd deal with the sudden increase in her heart rate later, there was a happy Ruby to hug and Blake wouldn't miss that chance for the world, no matter what color her hair was.

Author's note: So here be drabble #2! Just a short something to tide over to the next chapter.

Speaking of which, I was looking at the number of people following this story and boy did I get more that I was expecting. (10 at the most)

So that got me thinking that it might be a good idea to actually plan ahead with this story rather that waste people's time with something that wasn't really going anywhere. So I bunkered down, broke out a pen and some paper, and then proceeded to play Fallout for a few hours. But then I got to work and have now come up with an actual plot line.

Hooray!

So now there will be about 11 chapters, including the last two, unless I decide to add more. These don't include the short little drabbles so you may or may not get quite a few of them. I may bump up the rating to K+ plus depending on one or two of the stories, but I'll hold off on that for now. That about wraps up the important stuff so lets get to the fun stuff!

Thanks for reading/faving/following. Please leave me a review on what you think so far and I'll shoot you a response in the next release!

Until the next time!

Everhardt: People do stupid things when they're afraid, what more can I say?

Kamonwan9952: Worry not my fellow spectator, for more shall come!

Omake 1:

"I can not believe you did this."

"You don't like it?"

"What on earth possessed you to-"

"I did it for you..." the other girl says, hanging her head and sniffling.

Not the dreaded sniffling, she could handle any thing but that She puts her hands on the other girl's shoulders.

"It's not that I don't like it, it's just that, well, why a snowflake?"

"Cause you're my ice princess is why!"

Weiss lets out a rather unladylike squawk when Yang picks her up in a bone crushing hug.

"Unhand me you brute!"

Omake 2:

"So why did you get the highlights?"

"Because she was nervous and I thought she'd feel better if I got some with her."

"Riiiiiiiight."

"Oh dear, is that doubt that I hear? Perhaps I should remind you that it isn't polite to doubt a lady's words."

Taiyang gulped when he looked at the smiling woman next to him. He just had to open his mouth.
