Sorry for the delay! I started a new job this week and I've been really busy. I also thought that yesterday was still the 31st, so my bad! Anyway, the votes were super close, but Neo and Ruby won for this month! This is actually the result of an RP session with a friend of mine. Just a heads up, this chapter is a lot more plot-heavy than usual, but I think it's a fun story with a "happy ending" just the same. (; Enjoy!

The Morning After: (Ruby x Neo)

"I fucking hate this place," Neo grumbled to herself. She was sitting alone in the cafeteria having some ice cream, not enjoying her time at Beacon in the least. "Why did I even agree to this? Everyone else is out plotting and shit, and I'm just left to do whatever because I'm 'too violent' to help. Fuckers..."

"Hey there," a voice called out from behind her, and she spun around to see Ruby approaching her table.

She rolled her eyes, "Oh, hey. What do you want?"

"I just thought I'd say hi," Ruby smiled. "You looked kinda lonely over here. Your name's Neo, right?"

"Yup," Neo replied, then went back to eating. She was in disguise, and even though Ruby had heard Roman use her name that night under the highway, there wasn't enough for the girl to make the connection.

"You seem like a nice person. Mind if I join you?"

"Little bit, actually."

Ruby frowned, knowing when she wasn't wanted, "Okay, well, have a nice night. Sorry to bother you."

Neo watched the girl start to walk away and sighed, "Hey, wait. You can sit with me if you want."

"Yay!" Ruby exclaimed, and leapt into the seat adjacent to her new friend. "So did you have any plans for tonight? My teammates are all out at a club, but you have to be sixteen to get in. I guess not everything about being bumped up two years is good, huh?"

Neo giggled, "You think that's bad? I'm four foot nine, people think I'm twelve. A club sounds like it'd be a great time, actually. Why don't we head to Junior's?"

"Junior's? Isn't that also sixteen and up?"

"Mhm," Neo replied. "The law also says you have to be twenty-one to drink, but that hasn't stopped me yet. C'mon, let's go!"

'This could be fun,' Neo thought as the two of them walked to the docks. 'I wonder if there's any information I can get out of her if I get her drunk. And, if I can do it without hurting anyone, maybe Cinder will stop being such a whiny cunt about everything I do and let me do more with them.'

They chatted during the flight about school and the tournament, and Neo did her best to keep to the backstory Cinder had given her to use. It was pretty vague to begin with, so she tried to stick with that aspect of it. She was actually enjoying their conversation, and that she and Ruby had quite a bit in common. It made her sad to think that they could've been friends if they weren't on opposite sides, but that thought ended up giving her an idea.

'Hmm... I wonder if there's a way I could convince her to join up with us. Not tonight, of course, but we've got another week before matches start for the tournament. Having someone on the inside would be HUGE. Wait, what would I have to do if I tell her and she says no... Ugh, I'd probably have to kill her, and that wouldn't exactly help my case. Meh, Cinder already expects it from me.'

They arrived at Junior's after a short walk, and were stopped to ask for ID at the front door. Neo showed hers and told Ruby to do the same. The redhead looked a little apprehensive as she handed the bouncer her school ID, expecting to be rejected, but she was shocked when he handed it back and said she was allowed inside.

"Did I miss something?" she asked, looking rather puzzled. "Is Wednesday some kind of special night?"

Neo laughed, "No, I used my semblance to make it say you're seventeen. Illusions are fun, huh? It's easier for Em since she can just make people hallucinate, but this works too."

'FUCK! WHY DID I SAY THAT? She's gonna get suspicious now once Em starts with all her stuff. Okay, okay, stay calm. She probably won't even remember that I said that in a week.'

"Oh, nice," Ruby replied, not thinking anything else of it.

They sat down at the bar, and Neo motioned to the man behind the counter to make her a drink. He looked at the two girls and immediately asked to see their ages, and was amazed when they presented it to him. He did a few double takes, but he couldn't see how they'd be able to fake ID's this well.

He shrugged, "Alright, what'll it be, ladies?"

"White Atlesian," Neo smiled, then turned to Ruby. "Anything for you? My treat."

Ruby blushed, "The same, thanks." The bartender nodded and walked away to mix the drinks, and Ruby and Neo exchanged a mischievous glance. "Thanks for letting me order, but I don't mind paying. What's in that drink, anyway?"

"It's vodka, coffee liqueur, and cream."

"Oooo, that sounds yummy!" Ruby said, her eyes lighting up a bit. "Just do me a favour and don't let me get too drunk, okay? I know I'm gonna be a lightweight, but I really don't wanna be hungover tomorrow and have to explain it to my sister."

Neo agreed, but four drinks later, they had both forgotten about moderation. Neo was holding up surprisingly well for being as small as she was, but Ruby was very clearly drunk. She wasn't too wobbly, but her speech was getting very slurred at this point.

"So tell me about yourshelf," Ruby giggled, leaning her cheek on her palm while she looked at Neo.

Neo chuckled, "I dunno, not too much to tell I'm not a very exciting person. I wouldn't mind hearing more about you, though. How'd you get into Beacon so young?" Cinder had told her about the fight, of course, but this was just a good ice-breaker.

"Weeell, I was out at a shtore, and these guys walked in and tried to rob me, and I beat 'em up, and then thish crazy lady starts throwing fire at me, and then Professhor Goodwitch showed up, and -hic- then there was a fire and dust and stuff flying everywhere it was sho cool and then Ozpin talked to me and-"

"Whoa, whoa, slow down," Neo laughed, sensing it might be time to head home. "I think we should probably go. Hey, barkeep, can you get me a bottle of that strawberry schnapps and the check, please? Thanks!"

"Aww..." Ruby pouted, folding her arms.

"Relax, we can keep this party going back in my room. I just wanna get you home while you can still walk."

Ruby protested, but Neo won the argument and eventually got her to leave with her. It wasn't easy, but she managed to walk Ruby back to the airships and to the dorms, but it was obvious that they wouldn't make it back to her room.

"Hey, can we go to your room?" Neo asked.

Ruby eagerly nodded, "You bet! My teammatesh are -hic- shtill out, so we'll have it to ourshelves."

There was something in Ruby's tone that Neo couldn't quite identify, so she shrugged it off and led the stumbling girl to her room. They got inside and immediately climbed into Ruby's bed to sit down again. Neo opened the bottle of schnapps and they started to drink straight from it, talking and giggling and having a blast. Neo had forgotten all about her plan of turning or interrogating Ruby, and was having a wonderful time.

They settled down a bit after a while, and Ruby looked up at Neo with shy eyes and lustful grin. Neo went to ask what that was about, but she found herself wrapped up in a very sloppy kiss before she had the chance. It clicked in her head that Ruby's earlier tone had been more seductive, and realised that this may have been why the girl visited her in the cafeteria in the first place. Nonetheless, she wasn't going to argue and kissed back, falling on top of Ruby. She didn't know how long they stayed like that, but that was the last thing she could remember of that night.

Neo woke up the next morning with a splitting headache, but thankfully wasn't feeling too nauseated. She groggily sat up and stretched, and looked beside her to find Ruby smiled in her sleep, hugging her pillow, and completely naked. She looked down at herself and felt a rush of fear when she saw that she wasn't wearing her clothes either, and peered over the side of the bed to see their outfits in a heap on the floor.

'Son of a bitch,' she groaned in her head as she laid back down. 'I would black out before the good stuff, wouldn't I? Wait... It's the next morning... Her teammates must've...'

She grimaced and looked back over the edge of the bed, and was relieved to see that they were the only two people in the room. She did, however, see a few new pairs of dirty clothes in the hamper, and knew that the rest of Ruby's team had come home and seen them like this. She had to imagine that the pile of their discarded clothes was already there, and was violent embarrassed that they knew.

She used her semblance to teleport out of bed without disturbing Ruby and started to get dressed. She didn't want to run out before Ruby woke up, but she knew that Cinder would be furious if she didn't check in soon. She did her best to make as little noise as possible, but didn't do as good a job as she expected to. Ruby stirred in her sleep, and eventually sat up and rubbed her eyes.

Ruby yawned, "Morning, Neo. Ugh, my head... I-" She froze mid-sentence when she looked down at Neo, and her jaw dropped open.

"What's wrong?" Neo asked, then spied herself in the mirror. Her eyes shot open when she saw that her disguise had gone away when she blacked out, and now Ruby very finally recognised her. "U-Uh..."

"Y-You..." Ruby whispered, looking hurt, confused, and afraid. "I-I don't understand... You're that girl from the highway... a-and the train... What're you doing here?"

Neo sighed, and now she had a choice to make. She could either explain herself and hope that Ruby wouldn't blow her cover, or kill her. The latter would've been incredibly easy since Ruby was completely unarmed and exposed, but for once, she couldn't bring herself to kill someone, and elected to do the former.

"Oh my God..." Ruby said as Neo finished her explanation. She had gotten up and dressed while Neo was talking, and had also made the same realisations about what had happened last night about her teammates knowing.

"Please don't hate me," Neo frowned. "I know I'm a bad guy, but is there any way I can convince you to not blow our cover? You're really nice and sweet, and I wanna be friends."

Ruby shook her head, "Neo, how can you honestly expect me to do that? You lied to me, and you nearly killed my sister! You're the people we're trying to stop! Why would I keep that secret? Why should I trust you at all?"

"I dunno... We had so much fun last night, though. You saw, I'm not a terrible person."

"Try again," Ruby growled.

"Please, I'm begging you," Neo pleaded, feeling on the verge of panic. "At least give me a chance? Who knows, maybe you'd even consider-"

"Shut up," Ruby spat, knowing where Neo was going. "Not a chance. I'm a Huntress because I want to put scum like you behind bars. Now, are we gonna do this the easy way or the hard way?"

Neo was about to cry, and hung her head, "Fine... If that's the way you feel, then..."

"Wait, you're not gonna put up a fight?" Ruby asked, confused.

"No, of course not. I don't wanna hurt you, and that means a lot coming from me. I really don't like that we're on different sides. I really wanted to be friends."

Ruby rolled her eyes, "Yeah, sure. Alright, just sit down and wait while I call the police. Don't even think about running."

"You know that I can teleport, right?" Neo asked, showing a small smile.

"Oh, right," Ruby mumbled. "Lemme guess, you're gonna wait until the cops show up and disappear at the last second?"

"No, I'm gonna stay. Again, I wanna try to work this out. You wouldn't even consider talking for a while? Maybe getting lunch or something?"

"Not a chance," the caped girl replied, and Neo felt a sharp, painful dread shooting through her.

She sighed, "Alright... Before you do anything, can I ask you one question? Why did you kiss me last night?"

Ruby blinked a few times, then started to blush. She looked down at her feet, "W-Well... I don't know, I guess it was just the spur of the moment."

"We both woke up naked, Ruby. I might not remember it happening, but we definitely had sex last night. You know we did, and you initiated. Do you have feelings for me?"

"Maybe I did," Ruby huffed. "But I don't anymore."

"You're lying," Neo smiled, seeing it in the girl's face. Ruby shook her head to deny it, but she couldn't keep the act up.

"Okay, fine, I do like you. I think you're gorgeous, but you're a bad guy, so forget it."

Neo continued to grin and took a few steps forward, "Look, I know this is a lot, and you're free to do whatever you want because of it. But, before you do, I have a proposition. We very clearly had fun last night, but neither one of us remembers it. It's a shame, don't you think? We've got some time now, though, so I say we go for round two. After that, you can go ahead and turn me and the rest of my team in. Whatdya say?"

"I think you're crazy," Ruby replied, although her voice didn't sound nearly as angry as she had a moment before. "But... I guess it couldn't hurt. I say yes."

"Then get back in bed, silly," Neo giggled, getting right back out of the clothes she'd just put back on. Ruby blushed and did the same, except for her underwear, and they quickly climbed back under the sheets.

"Huh," Ruby said after a moment, looking distracted. "I just realised something. You'll always be my first, and I'll never be able to remember it."

"Then I'll make sure that the second time will be something you'll never forget."

Neo darted in and locked their lips together, tasting the alcohol from last night on Ruby's breath. Ruby kissed back with a fierce vigor that she hadn't been expecting, but happily welcomed as they explored each other's mouths. There was a strange feeling of having done this before, of familiarity, which made sense given that they had done this once before.

Neo ran her hands up and down Ruby's petite body, giving light squeezes and rubs whenever they passed over her chest or butt. She tugged at the girl's panties a few times on her way, then finally hooked them around her fingers and slipped them off, tossing them to the floor. She smirked, staring down at Ruby's body, "You're fucking hot. I hope you know that."

"I do," Ruby blushed, sitting up to give Neo another kiss. "There are a few parts of you that I'm jealous of, but I'll manage."

Neo rolled her eyes and pushed Ruby back onto the bed, leaning down and planting a few kisses on her exposed midriff. She slowly worked up to her chest, continuing to rub her hands along the girl's curves. Ruby made a few tiny squeaks when Neo's mouth reached her nipples, trying and failing to restrain herself. It wasn't long before the meeps turned to soft moans.

Neo moved her attention to Ruby's neck, kissing with the intent to leave marks. Meanwhile, her hand slipped down between Ruby's legs and gently caressed the girl's inner thigh, giving her a moment to adjust to the sensation. Her fingertips passed over Ruby's entrance, making a few light passes before slipping between her soft lips. She held them there for a few seconds while she kept up her rough treatment along Ruby's nape, feeling the tension building up inside the girl, and finally gave her release.

She pushed two fingers inside, hearing Ruby gasp at the new intruders. She started with slow and shallow strokes, nothing fancy, just to ease Ruby into it. In Neo's mind, this was Ruby's real first time, and she didn't want to ruin it by being too overzealous. She pulled her mouth away to examine her work as her wrist ramped up in speed. She'd left quite a few noticeable marks, which was just the way she liked it.

"Nuhhhh..." Ruby quietly moaned, starting to grip the sheets. "Th-That feels really good..."

"Just you wait," Neo chuckled. She was curling her fingers on every outward pass now, reaching and hitting Ruby's perfect spot, and it didn't go unnoticed.

Ruby gasp and gave a loud, sharp, blissful cry, "AhhHHH! O-Oh my God! Oh my GOD!"

Neo leant back in and went back to kissing Ruby's neck, loving the feel of the girl's ragged breathing hitting. She quickened her hand even more, making Ruby arch her back and clench her legs together. After another few seconds she added her thumb to the mix by using it to rub Ruby's clit on each thrust. She could feel how close her lover was, and wanted to push her as hard as possible.

"KyahhHHH! KEEP GOING!" Ruby screamed as Neo added a third finger, not letting up. "O-OH MY- FUCK! FUCK!"

Neo swiftly sat back as Ruby went over the edge, and repositioned her head between the girl's thighs. She shot in with her tongue and used every trick she knew to give Ruby an orgasm she'd never forget. Ruby threw her head back against the pillow, her breath utterly taken away. Her entire body felt like jelly, her vision was blurry, sweat was pouring down her face. She was drunk with the astonishing pleasure, and happily let it consume her.

"Hey, don't pass out just yet," Neo commanded, shifting her position once again so that her core was just an inch from Ruby's face. "Let's see how good you are at this."

Ruby snapped back to reality, but was still nearly catatonic as Neo continued to eat her out. She tried lifted her head up, but was spasming far too much, and elected to pull Neo's hips down to her. Her mouth connected with Neo's tender slit, and she tried her best to stay there. It wasn't easy, taking a great deal of concentration, but eventually she got into the same rhythm as Neo, using her own jerks to push her tongue in and around.

"Fuuu... Just like that," Neo moaned, having to stop and enjoy Ruby's treatment. "Y-Yeah, right there! AhhHH! RIGHT THERE! AHH! FUCK! AHHHHH!"

Neo's arms buckled out from under her, and she fell face first into sheets as she hit her climax. It was far from the best she'd ever had, but it was still amazing. Ruby was new to this, and had well for her first time. Neo's panting gradually worked back to normal breathing as Ruby's licks grew fainter, and at last they'd both hit their limits.

As Ruby finally went limp against the sheets, Neo brought her head up and flipped around so they were at eye level. She waited until Ruby caught her breath and opened her eyes again before initiating another kiss, giggling when Ruby flinched at the taste of herself on her lips. Neo wiped her mouth when they came apart, staring into Ruby's magnificent, grey eyes.

"How was that?" she asked, although she had a pretty good idea what the answer would be.

Ruby smiled and gave her another kiss, "Incredible... Now I really wish I remembered what happened the first time."

"Me too. But, there's always next-" Neo began, cut herself short. She paused turned away for a moment, her face rapidly falling. "Nevermind..."

Ruby frowned, and drew Neo into another, much longer kiss. "Relax," she said. "I'm not gonna call the cops. I don't know exactly what we're gonna do now, but we can figure that out later. Stay here and cuddle for a bit?"

"Gladly," Neo beamed, and wrapped Ruby in a tight hug.

'Well, that was interesting,' Neo thought, taking her place as the little spoon. 'I could get used to this.'
