Yo Peeps, GMG here with another chapter of SS. Finally, yeah? Ideas have been popping up for other stories, then the whole shebang that is Phantom Rose. Almost 550 followers! Most of my ideas ended up scrapped in my mindscape or needed to be multi-chaptered to work (Autumn Fallout and PhantMom Roses). This is not one such thing. This is not ladybug either.

THIS IS REDVELVET!

Disclaimer: I don't own RWBY, if that hadn't been made abundantly clear in the last 25 chapters...

Ruby clenched her fists tightly, a scream rising in her throat. Not in a negative way, nor a perverse one. A memory played in her mind, fueling and adding to this pent up energy. What had her fit to burst?

Velvet Scarletina.

Hands down one of the most adorable persons in all of Vale. Almost certainly top five. Her meeting with the girl earlier only confirmed it. While comfortable around her team and any friends she had, the faunus had some persistent issues with her shy nature. Even talking to Ruby had the girl curled in on herself, well... as best as one can be while standing.

With her gaze trained on the ground, and her ears falling over her face with her lowered head, she looked sooooooo cute. Ruby let out a small squeal at the thought.

"Ruby?" A soft voice started cautiously. "Are you alright?"

Taking a deep breath, Ruby nodded. Looking at the previously mentioned Faunus, she smiled. "I'm fine, Velvet. Was thinking about something."

Dark eyes held her gaze. "If you're sure." Tilting her head and causing her ears to droop to the side a bit. "You seemed a bit tense."

Ruby laughed. "Really, Velvet, it's nothing." Flashing a bright smile, she shoved the girl playfully. "Happy thoughts. I just don't want to spaz out and scare you."

Velvet giggled too. "No need to hold it in for my sake."

"It'd put Weiss to shame."

That caused Velvet's eyes to widen. She had seen one of the moments where the normally uptight girl turned to compete mush over Ruby and Yang's dog, Zwei. To think there'd be a level beyond that... "Tell me."

Ruby looked at her owlishly. She hadn't been expecting that response. "What?"

Setting down the book she had been reading before, she turned fully to face the caped girl. "I wanna know what would make you act worse than Weiss about cute things." Her accented voice lilted over each syllable, her musical laugh causing a familiar building of pressure in Ruby's chest.

Her face also started to resemble the gem which she was named after. "Well, I, uh-" Trying to look anywhere that wasn't Velvet, she stammered out, "P-private. Secret." The reason stable enough, she collected her courage and nodded. "Yeah, can't tell. Secret!"

Velvet's ear's drooped. "Oh. Okay, Ruby."

As the furry appendages lowered, so did Ruby's resistance. Will crumbling, she finally exploded with a 'squee" and pounced on the unsuspecting Faunus. Her speed semblance reared its head and Velvet found both sets of ears being assaulted by the rapid fire voice of Ruby Rose.

The girl stroked the ears, scratched behind them, and fawned over them in one massive surge of fangirling gone... right? The pleasant sensation of her ears being handled affectionately was clouding Velvet's judgment. It was such a stark contrast from the pain of Cardin's ministrations. Velvet was sure if she were any sort of feline Faunus, she would've purred.

But she wasn't. She was a rabbit faunus. Her leg twitched, spasming before settling into a repetitive bouncing motion, her heel thumping against the ground. Wrapped up in the euphoric feeling of Ruby's hands, she leaned into the touch, closing her eyes.

Slowly, Ruby's words petered out and as her mind came down from 'touch the adorable bunny' mode, the thumping sound finally registered and she pulled her hand back. "Sorry!"

Letting out a whimper of disappointment, Velvet's eyes opened. Without thinking, she spoke. "Why'd you stop?" Her words caught up to her brain and she blushed bright red. "Oh! Sorry, Ruby. I haven't exactly been pet that often."

Ruby shook her head. "No, I shouldn't have done that. Blake told me what petting meant, realtionship-wise and I completely ignored it."

She gave Ruby a quick hug and smiled reassuringly. "It's fine. It's something I'd prefer to Cardin's usual treatment of them."

"I think Nora's offer to break his legs still stands."

Velvet snorted. "While I appreciate it, I can do it myself just fine." She grinned mischievously. "And it'll be sanctioned too." When she was regarded with silver eyes, she explained. "I spoke to Goodwitch and she agreed to let us fight it out in class."

"But break his legs?"

As if mulling it over, Velvet put her hand on her chin, stroking it in thought. "Maybe not plural. I figure if I take out his aura bit-by-bit until he only has a small amount left over the limit that ends the match, one good strike to his leg could cause a break."

"But couldn't you cut it off?" Ruby asked. "Or is your weapon blunt. You never did show anyone what it is."

Velvet patted her leg. "This is all I need." Seeing Ruby's confusion, she picked it up, showing the rubble slightly behind her; what remained of the floor where her heel impacted. "I kick. Hard."

A naughty thought entered Ruby's mind pertaining to strong legs. Some of the positions a Rabbit Faunus could ho- WAIT! NO! STOP BRAIN! Ruby's face lit up red for the second time and she nodded. "Yeah."

"Kiss for good luck?"

Ruby froze. She didn't hear that. Did... she? "Wha?"

Velvet didn't reply, only giving Ruby a quick peck on the lips. Turning on her heel, she started walking, gesturing for Ruby to follow.

Ruby stood for a moment before jogging to catch up. "Where are we going?"

"To a coffee shot," Velvet replied. "For our first date."

"But no one asked!"

Velvet eyed the girl over her shoulder. "Are you complaining?"

"No."

Ruby's knees went weak at the lurid smile the Faunus treated her to. "Thought so."

End...

Went from having no idea of what to do to, IDEAS! IDEAS EVERYWHERE! Anyone questioning Velvet's ability to kick through a person's aura. If she can put enough force behind the kick it's logically possible. Case-in-point, Adam and Yang's arm. Another chapter will likely be a long wait, as this one was. You can still request, but it's highly unlikely to have an impact now, with my shift in focus to other stories. Soon, this will be truly complete, I belive.

Adieu for now!
