"So how did you two get a detention again?"
Pyrrha found herself wishing that she had a hood to turtle up into like Ruby as their friends stared curiously at them. Her face was beet red with embarrassment
"Well…"
The two of them had been studying together. That was normal, it happened a lot, nothing out of the ordinary what-so-ever.
Pyrrha and Ruby had decided to opt out of going to the library, seeing as it was louder then it usually was with the upcoming mid-terms. Luckily, Pyrrha had been able to find an unused classroom, and with Professor Goodwitch's permission, used it.
As studying tends to do, it takes a while. A long while. It's tedious and boring, especially when its material that's denser then lead. So naturally, Ruby and Pyrrha took breaks every so often from studying, just short, five minute ones.
"Aww." That had gotten Ruby's attention when Pyrrha unconsciously coo'd at a particularly adorable puppy video Nora had sent her. "Want to see something cute?" Of course Ruby was on board, who doesn't like cute things? Since the screen for the scroll was quite small, it made perfect sense at the time for Ruby to sit on Pyrrha's lap so she could see better.
Problematically, the moment that Pyrrha hit the play button, the scroll crashed.
In the rather lengthy time for the device to boot up, Pyrrha found her focus slowly drift to Ruby. Again, that makes sense, after all her girlfriend was pretty much amazing in every way and was currently sitting in her lap. Not just sitting, more like leaning against her.
But what always drew Pyrrha's focus was Ruby's eyes. They were big silver orbs that were filled with joy, happiness, and just a certain amount of glee that always brightened Pyrrha's day. It made her feel so damn happy inside to see those eyes light up, whether it be weapons, or playing video games, or… something that Pyrrha did.
There was one guaranteed way to make those eyes light up that never grew old for Pyrrha, one time tested way to always get Ruby's eyes to sparkle with delight.
A certain hunger entered Pyrrha's own emerald eyes. "Pyrrha, are you ok- mmmph!"
When Pyrrha finally pulled away, - if only for some precious oxygen - the joyful gleam had entered Ruby's eyes. But that wasn't the only thing that had entered; a hunger that Pyrrha knew her own eyes mirrored was there as one of Ruby's hands came to pull lightly on her long crimson hair, while the other arm wrapped around her.
Pyrrha wasn't quite sure when they had left the long forgotten notes at the table, Ruby's legs locking around her waist. Nor was Pyrrha quite certain when they had moved from the unused classroom to the adjacent office. The only thing Pyrrha really was certain about was how it ended.
While giving Ruby a rather lingering kiss to her neck, everything glowed purple for a moment before Pyrrha found herself several yards away from her girlfriend. And hovering.
"WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING IN MY OFFICE?!"
Pyrrha's insides went cold the moment the voice spoke. She knew that voice well. In fact, it had been the reason they were allowed to use that classroom in the first place. The silver eyes no longer held the same joy they had mere moments ago, rather, they were filled with terror, something that Pyrrha was understanding quite well as she slowly turned to look at the source of the yelling.
Standing there, absolutely fuming, to a point where Pyrrha half expected steam to literally be bursting out of her ears, was Professor Goodwitch.
"HahahahaAHAHAhahahahahahahahaaaaa…" Yang was literally clutching her stomach from laughing so hard. "You got caught making out on Goodwitch's desk?!"
"Y-yes." Pyrrha was really wishing she had Ruby's hood to hide in – her girlfriend was currently doing an admirable impression of a turtle with it, one that Pyrrha was hoping to emulate herself.
Weiss was pinching the bridge of her nose so forcefully that if wasn't for aura, Pyrrha would have thought she would have pinched right through it. There was clearly a speech that Weiss was trying her hardest to suppress giving, a speech that Pyrrha and Ruby clearly deserved for getting a detention for doing that. Instead of saying anything, or blowing up, Pyrrha watched the white haired girl slowly get up and leave.
Meanwhile, Blake looked more curious, if not with a hint of amusement as she tried to keep from joining Yang in laughter, before returning to her book. Or would have, had Yang's laughter not been so grating on her, given the way her bow kept twitching, the black haired girl leaving the room as well. Still, Pyrrha's face was burning bright with shame and embarrassment even if it was just Yang still there.
"You guys know if you reeeeeeally wanted some alone time, you could have just left a sock on the door, right?" Yang suggested after she had finally quelled her raucous laughter.
"A sock?" Pyrrha's curiosity outweighed her shame when she asked.
"Yeah, just leave it on the door. It's the sign for privacy." Yang was looking at Pyrrha like she had asked what dust was. "I mean, unless you want to find another classro- hey!"
Sometimes Pyrrha's semblance was good for the little things in life - like pushing Yang out of the room and locking the door…
…But not before throwing a sock out after her.
AU: Less that Pyrrha wants to continue to make out and more "the embarrassment and shame will go away!"
I had a random thought of "THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN" so you get this chapter. Yup. I think it's pretty funny personally :P Though I worry it being a bit out of character and a forced reason to get Blake out of the room, but eh.
ASSUMING THAT DOESN'T GO DOWN TODAY AGAIN, Dilation will be up in a few hours followed shortly by the long awaited Acceptance chapter! :D
I'll save all my big news stuff for Acceptance, but I just wanted to thank violetaristea for letting me use this AWESOME Pyrrha/Ruby art for a story cover! (And s/he reads Spoon Equality, hello and thank you!) Even more on the art side, the second art commission for Acceptance is done! Look up Jo3mm and Acceptance if you want to find it!
Thank you for reading and hope to see you in the next update in a few hours – if I don't I hope you all have a wonderful day! :D
