Rose Garden
Hey everyone sorry if it's been a few weeks. Just know I haven't thrown in the towel just yet for this FF. I will continue this until it reaches I'm guessing maybe fifty to sixty chapters. I hope you forgive me but I had to create a black butler ff but it's going to be very short one. I'm obsessed with black butler and RWBY at the moment lol. Without further or do enjoy and love you all. XOXO for being so patient :) and thank you for liking or commenting.

Chapter 24:Tattoos part 1
Roman paced back and forth when he was extremely nervous about something, that night was no exception. His white Faunus ears Twitched slightly and his tail flickered In worry and excitement. In a few minutes Ruby would be knocking on his door and they would leave to get her tattoo done as he promised the red rose for her birthday gift. It scared the hybrid to know she would be in pain once the tattoo gun hit her innocent pale skin. He only hoped Ruby wouldn't pick a stupid place to get it. Especially because Yang, her uncle Crow and her father would have hissy fits if they'd known she'd got one in looking distance of the public eye. Roman himself would even be disappointed if she picked a exposed place, he would have to kill any male who so much as looked at the tattoo or her.
Thinking back to his past Roman remembered the pain and agony when he received his first tattoo of his mothers emblem. He was only fifteen and he went by himself to get the work done in a gangster tattoo shop that only the mafia folk knew about. That day the shop owner happily took his money and did the permanent deed he desperately wanted done with speed and perfection. Roman cried like a baby during the first few minutes but after a while he was fine and toughed it out. He honestly hoped Ruby would do the same thing, after all he wouldn't have chosen the red rose as a mate if she wasn't strong enough to handle the sharp edges of his personality.
Neo walked into the living room patting her stressed sibling in the back startling the hybrid from his thoughts. She smiled kindly at him offering him a cookie from the tray.
"No thanks ice cream. I'm not so hungry at the moment." Roman scowled looking down at his shaking legs. He pushed the tray lightly away from reaching distance.
Neo rolled her crimson eyes and flipping her long hair back in a sassy manner before signing out. really? You love my sugar cookies. What's the matter with you? I haven't seen you freak out this much in a long time. The kids just getting a tattoo done tonight. It's not like she could wind up in the hospital for it.
"That maybe true but it hurts like a mother when they start the damn thing. The first time I had mine done I cried like a big ass baby and I'm not afraid to admit it. I'm just going to feel like shit once red starts with the water works. I hope she doesn't make them stop in the middle of it. That would be some horrible shit." The hybrid frowned crossing his arms defensively.
Who the hell said she was going to cry in the first place? Stop being a Debbie downer. That kids going to tough it out little bro. You just wait and see. The kid may be small and sweet but she can handle pain and punishment like a man. You can't say she hasn't in the past. Neo smirked at her sibling knowingly. Ruby was even able to tough it out the few times she ran into Cinders operations in the past.
"Ahhh you give Red to much credit. And besides I don't think she's discovered her tolerance for pain just yet. Reds only sixteen, yes she's been in horrible situations but never gotten the crap beat out of her like I have. Or your little weakling." Roman rolled his eyes.
Russell was able to handle himself before I even got there and I still don't see why you're worrying so much. Just make sure your not the one that's crying to the point that you almost passout like the last tattoo. Neo grinned.
"Damnit don't even remind me... I'm getting another one to make Red comfortable about getting her own. I set up a private appointment for the two of us at the shop Adams friend Danny Vanity owns. It's ran by drag queen Faunus." Roman coughed in awkwardness. He never favored fashionistas in the first place. Especially men dressed like women.
Oh that's just priceless. Says the guy who wears mascara on a day to day basis. Maybe you can get pointers for the William look. It's not that far away you know. Neo winked playfully smacking her sibling in the butt.
"Hmmm. I can't believe I'm saying this but maybe you're leading on to something ice cream. I should find out about foundation blending so I can make myself look younger and youthful like the rest of those little brats with the exception of my woman." Roman laughed. The more gorgeous he looked the less anyone would notice and turn him into Atlas once WOLF went to Beacon. He wanted to blend in with the sheep as best as he could.
So you ready for that next weekend? Because I know I am. Especially because I already look younger than my age. I'm so lucky to have moms baby genes as I call Em. I'm just too sexy for my own good. Neo smirked running her long pink coffin nails through her white hair.
"Yeah while you're over there looking like a spoiled princess. I'm stuck over here looking like a pimp with dads ginger hair and attitude." Roman pointed out chuckling.
Don't flatter yourself. At the rate your going you may as well be married to Ruby and grow old together. Neo teased.
"Hmmm. That's not a bad idea. I would love to marry Ruby one day." Roman smiled softly. He thought about it before and even dreamed about it. The hybrid really did love Ruby, enough to joyfully marry her on the spot.
So can you do A favor for little old me? Don't forget what I did for you that one day when I fallowed the kid when she was having sister suitor problems. Neo put her hands on her small hips trying to be sassy and stand offish.
"Neo. Just spit your damn request out.I don't have all night. I have a date." The hybrid growled looking at his watch impatiently.
Do your old sister a big big favor. And ask Ruby how Russell is doing for me pretty please. He got his ass kicked pretty bad by that ass hat. If I hadn't spied on Ruby for you that week, he would have died in the fight. I would have never forgiven myself for not being there to save him. Neo looked at Roman with watery crimson baby doll eyes that were almost pleading and begging. Neo couldn't even sleep at night without Russell on her mind. It was driving the female hybrid crazy, she really wanted to know how he was doing, but she would never admit what she was feeling to anyone.
" . Fine. I will. But what do I do if Red gets suspicious? She's always the one who sticks her sweet little nose in our business. Even when it doesn't apply to her. I love my little lamb to bits but her curiosity is dangerously high." The hybrid almost growled at his sibling. What he said about Ruby was true. The red roses sensitive ears and raging lips put her in dangerous places and positions.
Then go right ahead. Tell Ruby the truth about Russell. I think I trust her more then I do Adam. Maybe it could help my stupid infatuation with the kid. Just make sure no one else finds out about this. I know she'll keep her mouth shut. Neo slightly pouted with her large red eyes. They glittered like stars in the darkness of the town house.
"Wow that's saying a lot if you trust my little lamb over our old friend the bull. But it's a clever choice to begin with. Especially because Red is so close to your prey. You're such a naughty little cougar. Going after a Beacon student." Roman smirked wickedly teasing Neo.
You pompous ass. don't go 're dating a sixteen year old girl, that doesn't make your situation any better. And don't even make me point out the things you two do behind closed doors. Or better yet out side and in public. Neo smirked back mockingly. She knew good and well about the activities they partook in including the last encounter on the roof top of Beacons dormitories west building.
"Ahhhh. Shut up already. Alright. I get your point ice cream. Were both going after forbidden fruit." Roman huffed, his cheeks painted pink in embarrassment. How did Neo even know about that private moment to begin with? Roman thought to himself feeling violated in more ways then one.
That is very true indeed. But with forbidden fruit comes a form of punishment in the end. But of course we are similar to Adam and Eve we partake of the delectable treat but in the end it becomes sour because of the serpent. Neo breathed out with slight labor at the thought of a harsh aftermath.
"Neo...Now wait just a fucking minute. Who says it's going to become sour? This could all work out for all we know. Like yin and yang more then anything. Ruby is happy with me and I'm happy with her." Roman tried desperately to reason. He didn't want to think of his siblings cruel analogy of what is to become of his love life with Ruby. Even if the sweet red rose did break his heart he would still love her.
I'm not referring so much to Ruby or Russell starting it. I'm more so referring to our line of work and there's. We are thieves and they are training huntsmen. If Ozpin or Iornwood found out we would be imprisoned or executed right on the spot. If Cinder found out Ruby and Russell would be tortured and killed or far worse then sexual harassment. So on both ends we are forbidden fruit with dastardly outcomes. Neo coolly stated with her hands. She didn't even want to think about the horrors Cinder could be planning if they were ever discovered.
It took a minute for it all to sink into Romans head. Neo definitely had a point, what they had going would come to a horrible end sooner or later. It would all crash and burn around them and someone or everyone would end up dead. It was almost tragic but nether party would let go of the other because the love and lust was almost selflessly unbreakable. Roman was not willing to let Ruby go without a fight and neither was Adam with Blake or Neo with possible Russell.
"Maybe you're right Neo. But I will promise you and everyone else that doubts us this. I'm not going to give up on my Ruby Rose that easily. Even if they fucking kill me in the end, my life will be laid down for her to live. I love her and would do anything for her. I have no other reason to life except for her and you. " Roman sighed trying to push those dreadful thoughts of death away.
Wow you really are in love with Ruby aren't you little brother? Well I'll support you as much as I can. In my defense I'll do the same if I ever fine my true love. You are such a lucky bastard finding one so easily. Neo smirked.
"Patience Ice cream your Prince Charming is right around the corner. A little while longer before your happy ass is in Beacon and you can snatch him up before anyone else can." Roman snorted. He knew if anyone got in Neo's way she would probably hurt or kill them without a second thought.
True. True. I just can't wait until then. Neo smirked picking up her cat from the floor. She cradled the feline in her arms lovingly.
Knock!knock!knock!
"Oh looks like my little lamb is here. I gotta go, see you later Ice cream. You be good while I'm gone." Roman said before answering the door for his lover.
"Red love. Your fashionably late as I can see. And might I say black makes you look like death herself." Roman purred.
"Oh stop Wolfy I wanted to look pretty just for you." Ruby smiled taking off her black hood. She was wearing a long black curvy dress, black thigh highs, black combat boots and dark makeup.
Roman wrapped his arms around Rubies waist pulling her into a kiss. Ruby lightly moaned running her black stiletto nails through his
Ebony jagged locks.
-An hour later-
Ruby and Roman walked a short distance to an old dumpy building at the edge of Vale. The tattoo parlor was restricted to normal society and it was in an underground network. There was a hidden elevator that went straight down to an underground club, casino and the tattoo parlor. But the only thing different about it was that the white fang owned it, Only Faunus were allowed in. Ruby had to wear black sleek cat ears to pull her off as one of them. It made her feel slightly uncomfortable but she was willing to wear them in order to get the tattoo done.
"Here we are Red. You ready for this? You could chicken out now if you're to scared of getting it done." Roman reassured Ruby squeezing her hand.
"Yes I'm as ready as I'm going to be. I'm beyond excited about finally getting this done to back out now." Ruby smiled up at her mate with love.
"you're not scared Red?" Roman questioned in bewilderment.
"Nope. In fact pain kinda excites me. I'm not afraid of needles. Getting my skin pierced turns me on actually. That day you marked me did me in." Ruby admitted her face turning a light shade of pink.
"you are a naughty little thing. But at least now I know how I should please you the next time we have play time." Roman winked. He honestly felt like an idiot. Neo was right about her being able to handle herself.
to be continued.
