A/N: Alright guy's so here's the deal. You know how it's been a chapter everyday for a while now, well school has started, year 12, HSC course, dunno what it is overseas but it's pretty big. So updates may slow down to like three a week or even less. I'll try to keep it at one a week, if I don't I'm sorry. Enjoy!
"No Ruby"
"C'mon Weiss"
"Ruby I don't want to"
"Why not? It's just a little bit. Just taste it!"
"Ruby I'm fine with my own ice cream"
"Yeah but what about this one! Try something new! Here."
Ruby took a scoop out of her own bowl with her spoon and moved it toward Weiss' mouth.
"Ruby. I don't. Want." Weiss dodged and ducked her head away from Ruby's spoon, catching a glimpse of Ruby's smile behind the piece of cutlery.
"Weiss! Eat it!" Ruby said sternly. Shoving the spoon right in her face.
"Ruby Rose I swe-MMMMM Gah! Ruby!"
"Great! Now, do you like it?"
Weiss' mouth was abruptly filled with ice cream, ice cream comprising of at least six different flavours. Weiss lost count after caramel and cookies and cream. Ruby's choice in ice cream was rather… unique. Where Weiss was happy with two flavours, Ruby had settled for a multitude of different sweet dairy, all of which she wanted Weiss to taste, all at the same time.
Right now, Weiss had no other choice than to taste Ruby's desert, Ruby had so ungraciously shoved her spoon into Weiss' mouth, a bout of déjà vu accompanied the familiar feeling, taking Weiss back to Forever Fall with a certain orange haired hammer user.
"Well?"
Weiss glared at her partner sitting across from her, waiting patiently for an answer. Still glaring, Weiss swallowed her ice cream and formulated a response.
"It was….okay"
"Okay?! Oh c'mon, give me something more than 'okay'" Ruby exclaimed, throwing her arms in the air.
"Well there were a lot of different flavours, but it did flow very well" Weiss explained.
"So you liked it?"
"Yes Ruby it was nice"
"Good. Now excuse me, I need to use the bathroom." Ruby excused herself and got up and made her way to the bathroom, behind where they were seated. Leaving Weiss alone with two bowls of ice cream. Weiss looked down at Ruby's bowl, still half full, Weiss smacked her lips together quietly, she really did enjoy that ice cream, a lot.
She may have thought it was a bit strange but when she tasted it her mouth buzzed and tingled with joy. Whatever Ruby ordered was delicious, but Weiss would never admit it. Weiss peered over her shoulder, looking for Ruby and not finding her she turned back to Ruby's bowl. Weiss quickly picked up her spoon and took a scoop from Ruby's bowl and quickly shoved it in her mouth. Oh that's really good.
"AH HA!"
"AH! Ruby!" Weiss almost flew out of her seat, Ruby suddenly appeared right next to her looking very proud that she had scared the living day light out of her partner. "What in the world are you trying to do?!" Weiss asked, her voice a little higher than usual, a light blush flowing across her cheeks.
"I knew you liked it!"
"I told you I did!"
"Yeah but you like like it. Like a lot"
"Yeah so?" Weiss asked, turning her head to the side.
"So, you should have just admitted it"
"Please"
"Don't, 'please' me." Ruby teased, taking her seat and taking another spoon from her bowl. "Here" Ruby offered it to Weiss.
"No thankyou" Weiss said politely, still looking out the window.
"What!? Weiss just have it!"
"No" Weiss repeated sternly.
"Urgh!" Ruby rolled her eyes and leaned over the table, getting close to Weiss. "Why are you so difficult?"
Weiss was about to reply but quickly shut her mouth when she saw the spoon so close. But Ruby didn't give up, waving and weaving the spoon aiming for those sweet thin lips. Ruby stuck her tongue out to the side in concentration, ignoring Weiss' moaned 'no's' through her sealed lips. Ruby got a little to close and Weiss swung her head to the side and smacked the side of her face against Ruby's spoon.
Ruby quickly jerked the spoon back but the damage was already done. She blinked at her partner, before snickering and then bursting into laughter.
"BAHAHAHA! Weiss I'm so sorry! HAHAHA!"
There was a thick line running across Weiss cheek, a thick line of ice cream. Weiss stared at Ruby, her face void of emotion. Weiss silently grabbed a napkin, and slowly wiped the ice cream off of her cheek, never taking her eyes of the giggling red head in front of her. Once she had wiped the ice cream off her face Weiss silently got up and moved to sit next to Ruby.
"Uh Weiss?" Ruby's giggling died down, the look in Weiss' eyes one she saw not too often. It was the look that usually signified that she was about to do something, something worthy of revenge.
"Weiss it was an accident" Ruby tried.
But Weiss ignored her and just leaned in closer to Ruby, much closer. Weiss got within an inch of Ruby's face, staring into her silver eyes. It was a lot like that time in the fountain, but unlike that night, this time Ruby didn't see Weiss' eyes change, they stayed just as cool and deadly as ever.
Ruby shuffled back in her seat but quickly bumped into the wall behind her. Ruby began to feel very cornered and very small and Weiss' close proximity was making her feel a bit hot.
"We-Weiss?"
Just before their lips touched Weiss grabbed her napkin and wiped it all over Ruby's mouth and nose.
"Argh!" Ruby squealed, thrashing her head in an attempt to get away from the napkin. "Weiss!"
Weiss showed no mercy, continuing to smother her partner until she thought no more would come off the napkin. Once she finished she pulled back to take a look at her handy-work. Ruby was pressed up against the wall, one hand on the table, the other against the booth, breathing heavily and looking dumbfounded.
Ruby blinked at Weiss, no words making it to her mouth. Weiss on the other hand looked at Ruby, took in the mess of smudged ice cream and burst into her own fit of laughter. It started off as a small smile, then Weiss giggled a little brining a hand up to her mouth, before she just exploded.
"HAHA! You look utterly ridiculous! Dunce doesn't cut it anymore!"
Ruby watched as Weiss laughed at her, she blinked taking in what just happened. One second she was cornered with the person she loved looming over her, which felt rather…odd. The next she had a face full of ice cream covered napkin. Although the sight of Weiss laughing and smiling in front of her made her extremely happy, she was too dumbfounded to say anything. Ruby searched for a napkin to clean herself before Weiss beat her to it.
"Here let me" Weiss offered, still broadcasting her enjoyment with a huge smile. Weiss took the napkin and began wiping away the ice cream off her partners face. Ruby sat in silence as Weiss affectionately wiped her clean, watching as the heiress' face contorted softly. Weiss pulled back, looking over Ruby one last time.
"Oh, I missed a spot" But instead of using a napkin, Weiss gently wiped her thumb over the spot near Ruby's lips where the small spot of ice cream sat. It was a simple action, but it still made Ruby gulp awkwardly.
Weiss looked over her thumb before shrugging and popping it in her mouth. "You're right, this really is good" Weiss admitted laughing.
Ruby cleared her throat and re-positioned herself in the booth, willing her heart to slow down and hoping Weiss wouldn't notice the blush spreading across her cheeks. "I told you it was" Ruby said in a small voice.
Ruby looked down at Weiss' necklace and noticed it was glowing ever so slightly. Uh oh. Damn it Weiss why did you have to do that! Ruby hoped Weiss wouldn't look down and notice the necklace glow, or feel the aura that was undoubtedly flaring from it, Ruby didn't really have good control over senses at the moment, for some reason she was feeling rather flushed.
"Ruby are you okay?" Weiss asked, snapping Ruby back to the present.
"Uh-yeah yeah I'm fine"
"You look really red, I mean more than you usually do"
"I wasn't expecting that to be honest" Ruby admitted.
"Good. Nothing good comes out of being predictable" Weiss stated smiling.
Ruby nodded and looked at Weiss, who had taken her bowl back and was finishing off her ice cream. Ruby noticed that there was still a tiny bit of ice cream resting on the edge of Weiss mouth. Weiss didn't seem to notice but Ruby did and for some reason it was really bugging her. So Ruby quickly moved toward Weiss and kissed the spot near Weiss' lips, wiping it away with her lips.
"Sorry, you had a bit if uh- ice cream left over" Ruby stuttered, nervously glancing between Weiss and the table.
"Well thankyou" Weiss said after a short silence.
A peaceful silence followed after, Ruby and Weiss both finishing their deserts. Weiss didn't show it but Ruby's little kiss made her heart jump and left her a little flushed, of course it was only fair after what she did to Ruby. But Weiss still had one trick up her sleeve.
"Do you wanna try my ice cream?" Weiss asked casually.
Ruby looked at Weiss bowl and realised it was empty. "Weiss you already ate it al-" Ruby trailed off when she looked at Weiss.
Weiss had smudged the last bit of ice cream around her mouth and was now grinning widely at Ruby, who was just staring back.
"Well?" Weiss asked with a giggle.
Ruby completely ignored what Weiss was implying, instead the red head opted to burst into laughter and slam her hands against the table.
"Weiss, you could me ridiculous! You look stupid! HAHAHA!"
Weiss simply held her smile before gently placing her hand on Ruby's shoulder and brining her own cream covered lips to rest against Ruby's. Ruby recoiled a little, the feeling of the ice cream making it a bit odd, before she got past it and felt Weiss' lips. Ruby was instantly flooded with that coolness that did nothing but warm her heart and make her feel tingly inside.
It felt like an eternity, but it was merely a few seconds. A few seconds was all they needed. Weiss broke the kiss and before Ruby could make any comment the heiress was rubbing the rest of the ice cream around Ruby's face…again.
"Weieeeeeeeeeeeess!"
RWBY Dorm
"So those two went out for ice cream?"
"That's what it looks like"
"Do you think Ruby got over whatever that was?"
"Looks like it"
"Blake do you ever say more than what's necessary"
"Doesn't look like it"
Blake grinned when she heard Yang grumble and drop onto Weiss' bed. But her grin faded when Zwei came running toward her. The corgi barked before jumping onto the faunas' legs. Blake flinched, but didn't make too much of a fuss. Her body stiffened as Zwei ran along her outstretched legs and sat on her bare stomach, his tail wagging over her skin, tickling her slightly.
Blake lowered her book to look at the dog.
"Can I help you?" Blake asked.
Zwei cocked his head to one side, his tongue hanging loosely to the side.
"Roof!" Zwei jumped over Blake's book and onto her chest, standing on his hind legs to affectionately lick Blakes chin. Blake immediately jerked her head back, bumping it against the wall loudly before she dived out of her bed. She landed on the floor, just near Yang's feet, who was watching this all with interest. Zwei landed next to Blake and moved to get back to her.
Blake shuffled back and thumped against the door, she looked at Zwei and saw that he wasn't giving up. Just before he jumped onto her, Blake summoned a clone and leaped over him. Zwei jumped into the arms of a projection, he was confused for a moment before sniffing the air and turning to find Blake behind him.
"Roof!"
"Zwei no!" Blake tried.
"Roof roof!"
"Yang tell him!" Yang smiled and shrugged.
"Sorry babe, this is too funny."
"Don't call me- Zwei!"
Blake jumped up onto the table, crouching low, ready to leap away.
"Roof!"
Zwei plodded up to the desk, jumping and leaning against it on his hind legs. He cocked his head to the side and whimpered softly.
Blake looked down at Zwei and couldn't help but feel a little guilty. Zwei looked saddened, as if he just wanted to hang out and she kept running from him. Actually, that's exactly how it was. Zwei pawed the desk and whimpered one last time. Yang watched and raised an eyebrow, surprised by what Blake did next.
Blake sighed and rolled her eyes. "Look." She looked at Zwei, "No, licking. Okay? It's not gonna work"
"Roof!"
That was as close of an answer Blake was gonna get. Blake, slowly climbed down from the table, carefully watching Zwei. When he didn't make a move to lick her up and down she jumped down. Zwei happily followed Blake as she walked back to her bed, she sat down and Zwei jumped up and sat next to her. Blake looked at him once more before picking up her book and returning to reading. Zwei watched her momentarily before resting his head on her stomach and settling down. Blake tensed at the touch but quickly relaxed.
"Wow" Yang breathed.
"What?" Blake asked, lowering her book for the second time.
"I just didn't know that you two were so close"
"We aren't close. He's a dog"
"And you're a cat"
"I'm not a cat! I'm a faunas!"
"With cat traits"
"Yes Yang with cat traits! Where are you going with this?"
"Nowhere, I just think it's kinda cute. He seems to really like you"
"No we just have a mutual understanding"
"Is that why you let him sleep in your lap and not me?" Yang teased.
"Yang!"
Yang simply held her arms up in defence.
"That's not true, we both know you've fallen asleep on me before"
"Long trips don't count" Yang stated.
Blake groaned and rolled her eyes, "What do you want? Do want to sleep on me? Come, do it right now"
"No I don't want it to be forced"
Blake glared at her partner. "I like Zwei better than you"
Yang brought her hand up to her chest, "Oh, I'm hurt"
"Good" Blake returned to her book, sharply opening the book.
"Does he know?" Yang asked.
"Know what?"
"That you're a cat faunas"
"Who Zwei? I think he does, he's not stupid"
"Not stupid huh" Yang repeated, thinking over the words. "Zwei, come here"
Zwei's ears perked at the call, before he got up and plodded toward the blonde. Yang picked him and began whispering in his ears. Blake couldn't help but be curious, curiosity did kill the cat. When Yang was done, she motioned for Zwei to move off back toward Blake. Blake watched as he made his way over to her, jumping back onto her stomach.
But this time he made his way up her abdomen, crawled under her book and stepped up onto her chest, causing Blake to blush a little, and brought his face right up to Blake's.
"Zwei?"
Zwei had his front legs on either side of her neck, his hind legs were positioned on her chest, something only Yang could have thought of.
"Yang what did you tell hi- ARGH!"
Zwei suddenly began licking all over her face, Blake thrashed her head to the side, she threw her book to side and actually grabbed Zwei and held him back. He barked at her and she stood up from her bed.
"Yang what the hell!"
But Yang was laughing so hard she barely heard Blake. Yang's face was red from the ragged breathing back she couldn't help herself.
"Yang!" Blake tried again, Zwei watching, still in Blake's hands.
Yang continued to roll around on Weiss' bed, thumping her fist into the mattress, cackling loudly and obnoxiously.
"That's it" Blake breathed, she gently put Zwei to the side and cracked her knuckles. "You stupid blonde"
Yang never saw it coming, she was to be busy replaying Blake's reaction over and over in her mind to notice Blake stalk toward her. Blake paused at the edge of the bed, watching her partner momentarily before pouncing. Blake literally jumped onto Yang, grabbing her arms and pinning her to the bed.
"Woah, hello there" Yang grinned, still getting over her fit.
"You don't understand how much I hate you" Blake glared down at Yang, her aura flaring slightly.
"Oh c'mon, I know you love me" Yang teased.
"Far from it" Blake growled, tightening her grip on Yang's wrists.
"Well, before we get into this, I don't like being on the bottom"
Before Blake could process what Yang said, what it meant and what it implied, Yang had broken free and somehow flipped Blake over so now she was pinned onto the bed.
"Ah, that's better" Yang said, her golden hair spilling over the sides of her head and plunging Blake and Yang into a dim light.
Blake attempted to break free, but to no avail.
"Blake did you forget how strong I am?"
Blake just growled at the blonde.
"Don't be so catty" Yang replied, smiling at her pun.
Blake blinked at Yang before resting her head on Weiss' pillow, "I hate you so much" she breathed.
"You're my partner you can't hate me" Yang stated.
There was a silence as Yang smiled at Blake and Blake continued to glare back.
"Blake stop looking at me like that" Yang said in a much softer voice.
Blake noticed that Yang's grip relaxed a little and her eyes weren't so sharp.
"Why not?"
"You don't smile enough. You know how beautiful you look when you smile?"
"S-sorry?"
"What's it going to take to make you smile?" Yang thought. Her eyes landed on the bow that wrapped around Blake's cat ears. Yang's smile retunred when she came up with a plan.
But she needed to move her hands and she knew the second she did Blake would use a clone to move her away. So Yang simply, dropped her body onto Blake's.
"Oof! Yang get off"
"One second Blakey" Yang called back.
Yang was a big girl, she wasn't fat, far from it. There were multiple time Blake had seen Yang walking around in a sports bra and shorts, she was toned as hell. Although they all were, but Yang had just a bit more muscle than the rest of them. Something Blake duly took note of.
Blake felt Yang's hands fiddling with her bow, and instantly became worried. "Yang! Don't!"
"Sorry Blake, I need to see that smile" Yang grabbed hold of the bow and yanked on it, pulling it free from the cat ears.
"Aww they're so cute"
"Yang!" Blake squirmed under Yang's body, using her arms to grab at Yang's. Blake grabbed her hand before Yang could touch her ears.
"Blake let go"
"No way!"
Yang groaned, the things she did. Yang jostled her body forward, lifting herself further up Blake's body. Soon Blake found herself staring straight into Yang's….bosom. Blake's eyes went wide and she blushed horribly, Yang used it to rip her hands free and grab her airs.
"Yang!" Blake yelled.
Yang quickly ruffled Blake's ears. Blake instantly went limp, she tried to fight it but she found herself leaning into the touch. Yang leaned back to see Blake with her eyes closed and a look of pleasure splashed across her face. Yang watched as her faunas partner seemed to go into another world and Yang couldn't help but wonder if anyone had ever done this before. It was then that Yang moved her hand away. Blake slowly opened her eyes and looked up at Yang, all previous anger gone from those amber eyes.
"I uh- I'm sorry" Yang said quietly, moving off of Blake. "I shouldn't have done that"
"No it's okay. It's been awhile since I felt like that, it was nice." Blake replied.
"You looked really peaceful" Yang stated.
"It makes me feel safe. Violent people aren't very capable of being that affectionate" Blake explained.
Yang nodded, understanding what Blake was saying.
"Then again, you always make me feel safe" Blake stated.
Yang looked over at Blake who was looking back at her.
"Why's that?"
"Dunno, you just feel warm."
Yang climbed off the bed and moved to Blake's. "What?" Blake asked.
"Well we should probably not be intimate on Weiss' bed" Yang stated.
Blake's eyes widened with realisation before she jumped up and stood near her own bed.
"Do you really think Ruby and Weiss have a chance?" Yang asked.
Blake looked at Yang and saw the care in those lilac orbs.
"They'll be fine. Weiss will never let anything happen to Ruby."
"And Ruby won't let anything happen to Weiss" Yang countered.
"They'll be fine Yang" Blake reassured, sitting next to Yang.
Yang sat in silence for a moment before she glanced up at Blakes, now bare cat ears which were standing straight up and looking so adorable. Blake sighed when she noticed Yang's gaze.
"Go ahead" Blake said softly, tilting her head toward Yang.
Yang hesitantly reached for the ears, stopping just before touching them. When Blake nudged forward, motioning for Yang to continue, Yang gently ruffled her ears and the hair between them. Immediately Blake relaxed, leaning closer to Yang. A low purr rumbled from Blake's throat, Yang heard it but ignored it, focusing on Blake.
Yang instinctively brought Blake closer, wrapping her free arm around her and pulling her in close. Blake returned the embrace, resting her head against Yang's shoulder. The pair fell back and laid down on Blake's bed. Blake moved to rest her head in the crook of Yang's neck.
Blake closed her eyes and let herself be moved from that place and glide to somewhere peaceful. A place where she knew she was safe, where she knew the white fang and their enemies would never enter. A place with Yang.
"Yang I'm glad you're here, with me I mean"
"I'm glad you let me be here, with you I mean"
