"I think for once, I've had enough cake." Ruby gurgled as she climbed into the passenger side of her own car, setting the wedding portfolio in the back seat.

Yang laughed as she slid behind the wheel of the red and black machine.

"You sure?" She grinned. "You couldn't inhale enough while we were in there." She teased.

A grumble from the passenger side was her reply.

"How come Blake isn't doing this stuff with you?" Ruby asked.

"She's packing today. Her publisher is sending her on this little book signing thing, so she'll be gone for the next two weeks. It's gonna be a small wedding, but we got to get some of this stuff done if we're gonna get married next month and since you like cake and flowers so much I figured you could come with me." She explained as they pulled out into traffic.

"As much as I do love trying cake with you, it just seems like something Blake should be doing, it's her wedding, not mine." She shrugged.

Yang smirked.

"You know my kit cat. This is basically a party, not her thing. We figured it would be easier for everyone involved if I planned it out... she wouldn't let me have fog machines though..."She trailed off with a grumble.

"It's not a rave, Yang." Ruby rolled her eyes.

"Wouldn't that just be the most badass wedding you've ever been to though? Strobe lights and fog machines?" She grinned.

"I'm guessing Blake vetoed the strobe lights too?" Ruby couldn't help but grin as her sister slumped.

"Yeah…" She sighed but then perked up. "Maybe when you get married you could."

"Ha!" Ruby couldn't stop the bark of laughter at that. "Your kidding right? Weiss would sooner limbo down the aisle than to strobe lights and fog machines." She snicked at both mental images.

A wide grin spread across Yang's face as well.

"Who said anything about Weiss? I said when you get married. Planning already little sis?" She teased.

Ruby scowled at the trap she'd walked right into.

"Yeah yeah. Very clever." She grouched. Yang just snickered as they pulled into the parking garage next to her blindingly yellow motorcycle.

"Speaking of, how is frosty?" The blonde asked as she climbed out of the car, tossing the keys to Ruby as she jumped on her bike.

"She's been better…" She started, leaning against the car.

Yang cast her a concerned look.

"She's been pretty stressed at work lately, deadlines for something I think. She wasn't in the best mood when she left this morning." She admitted.

"She has good moods?"

"Yang." Ruby frowned.

"Just kidding." She grinned. "I'm sure it will pass, 'sides, how can she be mad at you." She reached out, pinching her sister's cheek.

"Cut it out!" She slapped away the offending appendage. Yang chuckled.

She glanced around but didn't see the white Mercedes. "I guess she's not home yet."

"Well, while you go wait for her, Blake is waiting for me, she has an early morning flight and she wanted to look over the stuff me and you picked, I'll call ya later." She gave a brief wave before revving the engine loudly and speeding away.

Ruby made her way into the lobby of the building, stopping to grab the day's mail out of her and Weiss's box before taking the elevator up to their sixth floor apartment.

The second she opened the door the sound of clacking claws on wood greeted her. A few seconds later Zwei came careening around the corner, tongue lolling out the side of his mouth.

"Hey, buddy, did you miss me?" She grinned, stooping down to ruffle his ears.

"Arf!"

"How bout a snack?" She grinned. He barked again, stump of a tail wagging.

"Alright, come on." She walked into the kitchen, Zwei trotted ahead of her to plant himself in front of the counter where the jar of treats sat.

Just as she was digging her hand in the jar Zwei's ears swiveled around back toward the hall, a second later the door clicked and he shot off like a furry little rocket.

Ruby followed, though at a much slower pace.

Weiss was standing in entrance way, stooped down, to pet Zwei.

"Hey, Princess." Ruby greeted with a smile.

Weiss turned to face her but winced, hissing in pain, her hand gripping the back of her neck.

"What's wrong?" Ruby hurried over.

"My neck seized up at work, I can't even turn my head." She complained..

"Oh, I'm sorry." She helped the businesswoman slide off her coat.

"It's not your fault." She sighed, plopping down on the couch. "Velvet believes it's all the stress we've been dealing with at work." She grumbled.

"Well, that definitely could be a factor…" The artist agreed with the absent assistant.

"Don't start, Ruby, I know but these contracts need to be filled before the end of this quarter and…" She went off on a work jargon rant, which Ruby did her best to follow but most of it went over her head.

Weiss must have noticed her glazed look because she stopped and took a breath.

"Nevermind, I just... need some coffee... or some crown... not to mention someone parked in my spot and I had to park in the subbasement." She mumbled the last part.

"I'm sorry it's been so stressful, Weiss but maybe I can help." She offered.

"You want to balance our quarterly expense budgets?" Weiss asked with a snort.

"Um, no, you should probably leave that to someone better at math than me if you don't wanna go bankrupt, I meant something else. Sit on the floor and take off your shirt."

"What?" Weiss blinked.

"Sit down here..." Ruby indicated the floor in front of the couch. "And take off your shirt." She repeated.

"Why?"

"Come on, Weiss. Don't you trust me?" Ruby asked with a smile.

Weiss stared back silently, eyes narrowed. Ruby started to squirm before she finally answered.

"It depends."

"Hey!" The artist pouted.

"Fine, fine." Weiss sighed, sliding onto the floor in front of Ruby and unbuttoning the white blouse and carefully folding it before setting it on the coffee table.

"Okay, now whaaa," She nearly shrieked when the artist's cool hands dug into the muscles on the sides of her neck.

"Oh, wow, you're all knotted up." Ruby observed, working her fingers across the pale skin.

She pressed into a particularly tightly coiled knot, working it out with her thumb.

Weiss slumped forward, chin resting on her chest.

"Oh my god." She moaned.

Ruby grinned, working out the kinks just beneath skin.

"Better?" She asked, leaning over to try and get a look at Weiss's face.

"Ughhh," Weiss moaned in answer.

Ruby pushed the chuckle that threatened to well up back down. Weiss would probably leave if she thought she was being laughed at.

Nimble fingers danced down between her shoulder blades, seeking out any stray bumps of tight spots, eliciting more sounds of pleasure and approval from her girlfriend.

When she was satisfied that she had worked Weiss into languid relaxation she leaned forward, planting a soft kiss on the nape of her neck.

"Feel better?" She asked, running her fingers through the long white strands of Weiss's ponytail.

"That was fantastic..." Weiss mumbled, making Ruby laugh.

"I do what I can." She grinned.

Weiss leaned back, her head dropping back onto Ruby's lap, baby blues starring up at her in what one could only describe as affectionately.

"I love you." She finally sighed, making Ruby grin at the 180 in mood from a mere 20 minutes prior.

"You only say that 'cause of the massage..." She leaned down a placed a chaste kiss on the businesswoman's lips. "...but I love you too."

"Not that i don't appreciate being able to turn my head, but that's not the only reason.." Weiss was looking up at her strangely.

"I know it's not."

"Really? Because it seems like I need to remind you." The heiress's voice dropped an octave and Ruby suddenly remembered where she had seen that look before.

"O-oh…"

"Shit." Yang cursed, digging through her bag as Blake watched on.

"You lost it, didn't you?" The author sighed.

"No, I...the car! I left it in Ruby's car." She shouted, striking her right fist into her left palm.

"Well it doesn't do us much good there does it?" Blake smirked when narrowed lilac eyes turned on her.

"Ruby and I picked a few options for me and you to decide from but if they're gonna be ready by the date we picked I need to take them back over there tomorrow." Yang emphasized with a sigh.

"Relax, Yang, it's not the end of the world." Blake assured her, tangling her fingers in the gold mane.

"I'll just have to run back over there and get it." She nodded to herself, standing and grabbing the keys to her bike off the hook.

"Yang." Blake stopped her at the front door. "I'm leaving in the morning for two weeks, I wanted to spend tonight with you." She breathed, trying to impart the urgency of those words on Yang.

Yang couldn't help but grin.

"And you will, I'll be 20 minutes, tops." She promised, leaning down to kiss her fiance after she gave a brief nod of consent.

"Hurry up…..but drive the speed limit!" She called after a second of thought.

"No, promises." The blonde grinned as the elevator doors closed.

Taking a few back routes, the drive to her sister's apartment took less than 10 minutes.

When she pulled into the parking garage she noticed that the white luxury vehicle was nowhere to be seen.

'I guess Weiss is working late again.' She thought as she walked up to her sister's car. Using her phone as a light she peered into the backseat and sitting right where they'd left it; the wedding planner.

A quick tug of the door handle told her what she had already figured. It was locked. Yang sighed, turning off her flashlight app and dialing her sister.

It rang for a minute before going to voicemail.

"That dork is probably playing with her tat guns again." Yang rolled her eyes, she'd just have to go get the keys herself.

She gave a wave to the doorman as she walked into the lobby and onto the elevator.

She pulled out her phone typed a quick message to Blake.

She looked up when the elevator dinged, slipping it into her pocket she walked down the hall to the apartment before giving the door a few knocks.

She bounced around on the balls of her feet, waiting. After a minute she knocked again but still no answer.

'Her car and vespa are here…' She thought to herself.

Suddenly a slew of worst case scenarios flew through her head and before she realized it she had thrown open the (unlocked) door and dashed down the hall to the living room.

"Ruby!" She yelled.

Two surprised screams followed.

Yang stared slack jawed at her naked sister and her partially naked girlfriend on the couch before flinging her arm over her eyes.

"I-'m sorry!" She yelled.

"What are you doing here?!" Weiss screamed, yanking the blanket off the back of the couch to cover Ruby and herself.

"Book! Wedding book, in... the car. I am so sorry." She fumbled over her words, backing up out of the living room. "Ruby didn't answer her phone and no one answered the door... I should go." The blond turned and fled the room leaving a deep scowling red faced businesswoman.

"Ughhhh." Ruby moaned. Hands covering her burning face, and trying to bury herself beneath the blanket Weiss had thrown over them.

Weiss sighed in full agreement.

Ruby knocked quietly, then stood patiently outside the door, wedding planner in her arms.

The door opened to reveal Blake, who didn't look at all surprised to see the younger woman on her doorstep.

"She's in the living room, debating on wether or not to use bleach to wash her eyeballs." Blake informed, stepping aside to let her future sister-in-law in.

"Thanks." She mumbled.

"Weiss didn't come?" She asked.

When Ruby turned to answer she saw the little grin on the authors lips and the double meaning of her words sank in.

Ruby's face flared, silver eyes looking anywhere but the grinning woman.

"No... she's 'ignoring Yang's very existence.'" She quoted.

Blake muffled a chuckle.

"I'll give her a call." Blake said before walking down the hall to her and Yang's shared bedroom.

Ruby peaked into the living room where yang was sitting on the couch, rubbing a hand over her eyes.

"Yang." Ruby called, walking fully into the room.

"O-oh. Hey Rubes..." She pulled her hand away from her eyes but didn't look in Ruby's direction.

"I brought the wedding planner…" She Set it on coffee table.

"Thanks."

Ruby waited but the blonde said nothing else.

"Yang... are you ever going to be able to look at me again?" She asked quietly.

"I am looking at you."

"Yang…"

"Okay, look... I'm... I'm sorry, but I'm having a little trouble with this, alright?" Lilac eyes finally turned her way.

"You make fun of me and Weiss having sex all the time, you were the one who asked me about my first time the night it happened... It's not like you didn't know." She reasoned.

"Knowing and seeing are two different things, and the last thing I needed to see tonight was you and Weiss going at it."

Ruby opened her mouth but nothing came out. She pursed her lips in silent though before she plopped down onto the couch next to the blonde.

"So... are we going to be okay?" She asked quietly.

Yang's sudden bark of laughter startled her.

An arm wrapped around her shoulders, pulling her in close.

"Of course we are! I'll get over this." She she gave a squeeze and a bright smile that did wonders to comfort Ruby.

"You're my little sister, nothing can ever change that." She assured. "Just... maybe don't expect to see me for a week or so... I don't think I can look Wiess in the eye right now."

"I think that's for the best, She's a little... she's... well she's pissed." Ruby admitted. Yang just nodded.

"That's cool... I might be a little PO'ed myself... I'll tell you something though…"

"What?" Ruby asked.

"I'm never sitting on that couch again."

So I lied. Having trouble with the DSIII server today so I wrote this instead.

I'm thinking the next chapter will be one a lot of people have been waiting for.

Also, I got a beta reader, who has been hard at work going through the previous 13 chaps.

Thank him, profusely.

~Malthazar LOS

(The new beta reader has arrived mwahahahahahaha! Anyways, that would be me, ODST110, and my god you know how many lowercase I's there have been where it should be I and instead it was i? A. Lot. That is no joke almost half of the edits. But now they're gone by and large. I probably missed one or two, but I got almost all of them.

Worst chapter to edit: Chapter 5 for sure. Not even because of the edits, just having to read in apprehension that chapter as it slowly got the the end of the party. Totally forgot Ruby actually tried to break up with Weiss though. Also, that chapter is the longest by a wide margin too.

And God Damnit Yang! You ruined a moment and made Weiss extremely Yangry. Very unweiss of you.)-ODST110
