Hey, uh... *clears throat* are things getting hot and spicy in here or is that just me?
"Blake has serious RBF right now."
From her sister's comment, Ruby glanced over at her girlfriend. The cat faunus was staring into space at professor Oobleck. The cat ears under her bow were droopy and she had a hand under her chin in disinterest.
"She's so cute," Ruby cooed.
She's cute, but she looks so bored, Ruby thought. I need to fix that.
Yang pointed to her own face and whispered. "Do I have RBF that bad?"
"God, Yang," Ruby whined irritably. "Don't you have other things to worry about?"
"Like what?"
"A test or something, I don't know," Ruby replied lowly. "RBF is such a stupid thing to worry about. And to answer your question, no. You look friendly. It's too bad that you're a pain in the butt."
"Gee, thanks, Rubes," Yang replied in amusement.
The moment the bell rang, students poured out of the classroom.
For many, it was time for lunch. Which is why Yang darted in front of the crowd. Not wanting to leave her boisterous girlfriend alone, Weiss followed directly behind her with haste.
"Come on, princess!" Yang called behind her.
"Would you slow down?" Weiss quipped irritably.
When Yang glanced behind her, she noticed that Ruby and Blake weren't following. Instead, she was met with random students' expressions.
"Where's Blake and Ruby?" Yang asked as she flowed through the crowd.
"Not sure," Weiss replied. "They'll catch up eventually."
Unbeknownst to them, the ladybug couple had vanished like they were never there. They were out of sight from anyone's lingering gazes. In the midst of the lunch rush, Ruby had taken the opportunity to pull Blake to the side.
In the janitor's closet.
The action had been so swift that Blake didn't know what was happening. It was dark inside, however, she could see clearly thanks to her night vision.
This was out of character for her girlfriend, so Blake asked. "Ruby-"
The faunus was cut off when Ruby pressed her lips on her own. Without giving her time to react, Ruby pressed her girlfriend against the cold wall and pinned her there. With Blake's hands held down, Ruby separated from the kiss and got on her tiptoes to whisper seductively in her sensitive ear.
"I want to return the favor for what you did for me on my birthday."
A shiver rocked Blake's spine when her breath tickled her sensitive ear. Blake's heart thumped loudly in her chest. It was almost hard to breathe since she was still processing her words. Perhaps this was something Ruby had planned for a while now. When their lips ensnared it was like fire coursed through their veins and down their limbs. Blake felt every ounce of hunger as they kissed.
Eager, Ruby placed a hand on the back of her girlfriend's head and pulled her closer, deepening the kiss. Ruby moved her tongue into Blake's mouth and the faunus unabashedly let out a groan of approval. Ruby was just as impatient as she was, and then she felt the brunette's hand slide up her leg before it firmly grasped her hip. Following her girlfriend's lead, Blake slid her hand under Ruby's shirt and inched her fingers over her torso. Ruby responded by moving into her touch as she let a quiet moan escape.
A second later their kiss separated, and Blake was left to wonder why.
"You know…" Ruby murmured. "I've been reading your Ninjas of Love series…"
The revelation caused Blake to blush crimson, unable to form words.
"I didn't know you were into that kind of stuff," Ruby whispered lowly, her breath tickled the faunus' neck. "I can see why you like it."
"That's not-" Blake stammered. "I don't-"
Ruby didn't give her a chance to retort when her lips latched onto her neck.
Golden eyes shot open and she unintentionally gasped from the sudden sweet feeling. Her heart had been racing but now it almost leaped out of her chest. Her heartbeat was louder than the chatters just outside the door. Her girlfriend certainly knew how to press the right buttons.
Despite the distraction of her girlfriend's mouth and hands, Blake noticed the tightening of Ruby's lips against her skin. She could tell that her rose was grinning as she kissed up her neck and along her jawline. Blake bit her lip and sucked in a sharp breath. Eagerly, Ruby ground her tongue onto her milky skin.
When another shameless moan escaped, Ruby removed her lips, keeping Blake pressed against the wall.
"You can't be loud," Ruby reminded gently.
Ruby's previous relentless actions caused Blake to lose the concept of time. She hadn't even noticed that the noises in the halls had stopped. Most students were probably in the cafeteria by now. This meant they had to be quiet since it was easier to hear any noises.
"Unless you want people to see?" Ruby teased.
"Uhh no," Blake mumbled, somewhat out of breath. "We could get expelled."
"By Ozpin?" Ruby quirked an amused brow as she held onto the collar of her school uniform. "He owes us and he knows it."
"Ruby, I-"
Before Blake could finish her sentence, a cloth was stuffed in her mouth. This earned a muffled yelp of surprise. It was then that Blake realized… this was exactly like one of the scenes in her favorite book series. Every time she read it she got hot and bothered, but now that it was actually happening…
Forcefully yet gently, Ruby turned the faunus around so she faced the wall. Closely, Ruby grinded into her squirming girlfriend and kept an arm firmly around her waist to stop her from moving. Another hand slid up Blake's shirt and under her black bra. She loved how it felt to have Blake involuntarily arch into her and shamelessly groan each time she pulled or twisted her nipple.
Blake had wanted her girlfriend's touch so badly that she didn't stop herself from moving against Ruby in approval. At last, Ruby's hand slipped inside her underwear to squeeze her backside. Desire built in Blake as they continued. Slowly, Ruby slid her fingers closer to where Blake desperately wanted her to be. It was almost like she was mercilessly teasing her. It made the faunus' breath hitch.
When Ruby felt the wetness from her girlfriend's core through her undergarments, she slyly smiled.
"Oh, Blake. You really like this, don't you?"
Eagerly, Blake removed the gag and hungrily kissed her rose as she slid in a finger. To keep her quiet, Ruby kept their lips ensnared as she slid another digit inside her. Both of Blake's arms were around her girlfriend's shoulders because her knees grew weak. With each thrust, Blake bit back most moans, but some let slip. Ruby didn't stop thrusting for what felt like eternity. She didn't stop until she felt her girlfriend contract and moan pure ecstasy into her mouth.
After the orgasm, Blake almost collapsed but Ruby was there to gently coax her to the floor as she panted.
"Are you okay, kitten?"
It took Blake a few moments to gain her bearings as she smiled at her precious beloved.
"After that? I'm more than okay."
That elicited a smile from Ruby. "I love you."
"I love you, too."
"Here's the last one!"
After the workout, Taiyang set the heavy cardboard box on the wooden floor. A loud thump rang out and he leaned back up, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
"Thank you, Tai," Weiss said gratefully. "You all helped a lot."
Glad for the exercise, Tai confidently placed his hands on his hips as he gazed around the living room. Multiple boxes were scattered and stacked on top of each other all over the spacious room.
"I love the new place," Taiyang commented. "Did you pick it out, Klein?"
"Indeed I did," Klein confirmed for the man. "It's not too big or too small."
Yang nodded in agreement. "It's perfect."
Since the building was completely vacant aside from the boxes, it was going to take a while to completely settle in. Overtime, Klein and Weiss planned to take it by day. This would lessen a lot of stress in the long run.
For the last few hours, Tai and his daughters had been helping Klein and Weiss move into their new home.
"Weissy!" Ruby exclaimed, giddy as ever. "I wanna see your new room!"
"You're more excited than I am, dolt," Weiss responded with a small smile. "Before we do, can everyone please grab any boxes with the 'W' label?"
"No," Blake teasingly replied. "You're going to do it all by yourself."
"Ha-ha," Weiss said sarcastically.
Fortunately, Weiss only had six boxes filled with her belongings. Blake and Yang grabbed two each while Weiss and Ruby each carried one.
Meanwhile, Taiyang and Klein were left to chat. Oddly enough, they were getting along. They shared common interests and were conversing about their love of certain cleaning products. What was stranger was that they got passionate about the topic as their faces lit up.
One of Blake's cat ears flicked as she whispered in Yang's ear. "If I ever get that excited about cleaners, you have permission to end me."
"How?" Yang jokingly replied. "Slow and painful?"
"No thanks," the faunus said. "I have nine lives. Make it quick for every single one."
From her reply, Yang just stared. Blake just made a cat joke. About herself. Unintentionally, Yang let out a laugh.
Glad her friend appreciated the joke, Blake focused ahead to not stumble. The boxes were kind of heavy.
When the team entered Weiss' room, they set the heavy boxes at the edge of the bed.
The first thing they noticed was the white carpet. It was softer, warmer, and more inviting than the old mansion's cold marble floor. The room's size was about ten by ten feet. Which was plenty of room for one person.
Everything was white. The walls were bare and the queen bed wasn't made. The mattress was exposed. Currently, it was bland but that would change in time.
"Not bad," Yang commented happily. "Kinda plain, though."
Blake's cat ears twitched under her bow. "It'll look better after she puts her things up."
"It'll look like home soon enough," Weiss said with a smile.
It's totally empty besides the bed, Yang observed. Blake's right. She'll put up decorations and stuff but I want to help her out. Give her something that'll pull the room together.
A hint of Yang.
That's when Yang realized how much had changed. She was so glad that her girlfriend escaped that toxic environment and away from her abusive father. The blonde thought there could be no better outcome as she watched her girlfriend giggle from something Blake said.
Eager to help, Ruby crouched down to rip open one of the boxes. To her surprise, the entire contents of the box was-
"Weiss, how many shoes do you have?!" Ruby blurted as her mouth hung open.
There was a mix of heels, pumps, flats, sandals, and tennis shoes inside. Yang and Ruby gazed inside with utter awe. The sisters blinked a few times like they couldn't believe what they were seeing.
Blake gave Weiss a look. "I told you. You have too many."
Weiss lightly huffed and shyly glanced away. "It's an adequate amount," she quipped, sounding uncertain of her words.
"Hold onto your hats, or shoes..." Blake said as she crouched down.
Knowing that Weiss had more shoes stored, Blake selected a random box and opened it. She took her chances that there'd be even more inside. Fortunately, her guess was correct. The items inside were boots, sneakers, and converse.
"Jeez," Ruby mumbled in disbelief as she fumbled with a golden sandal. "I haven't seen you wear even half of these!"
Gently, Yang set a hand on her girlfriend's shoulder. "I think you have a problem," she said, teasing present.
While Blake held up a glimmering red heel, she asked. "What's your shoe size?"
After a light sigh, Weiss replied. "Six."
"Darn it," the faunus mumbled in disappointment. "I wish we could've at least shared some."
Yang gawked down at the collection, spotting a pair of tennis shoes she particularly liked. "That would've been awesome."
From her friend's revelation, Ruby grinned widely. "I might be able to squeeze into a few."
"If you can find a pair that works for you, you can borrow them," Weiss offered.
Her casual shoes were more of what her red-caped friend was eyeballing. There was more than enough for two people. Or three. Or four. Or one hundred.
"Yes!" Ruby chirped in excitement.
Eager, Ruby threw out the shoes one-by-one, searching for the perfect pair. Her friends recoiled when a sneaker collided into Yang's shin.
"Agh, Rubes!" Yang chided.
"Shush!" Ruby exclaimed as she tossed out a purple sandal. "I'm trying to focus here."
Yang quirked a blonde eyebrow. "You're gonna have to put those back."
Absentmindedly, Ruby replied. "Yeah, yeah."
While she searched for a pair to borrow, the other three opened the remaining boxes.
"Alright," Yang announced. "Let's fix this place up."
After the team helped Weiss move in, the freezerburn couple decided it was time for a break.
Their last date felt like it was too long ago. Longer than they liked.
From Weiss' suggestion, they went to a coffee shop. A casual date was exactly what they needed after a long, laborious day. The couple was still in their casual clothes as they sipped on their coffee.
As far as they were concerned, they were the only ones in the parlor.
"Not gonna lie," Yang mentioned, uncertain. "I'm kinda paranoid now."
Those lilac eyes were genuine and swam in concern. Despite previous distractions of everyday life, it was hard to get that conversation with Ozpin out of her head. And for good reason.
"I noticed," Weiss offered a smile as she set down the steaming mug. "Every time we went outside to get more boxes, you kept checking over your shoulder."
"You can't be too sure," the blonde fiddled with the mug nervously. An idiosyncrasy she picked up from Ruby. "That beringel literally popped out of nowhere. That could easily happen again."
Carefully, Weiss wrapped both of her hands around the warm mug in front of her. Naturally, an empathetic expression etched on her face. "We're on a time limit and we're not in control this time, which makes things worse."
Until now, the relic hunters did exactly that. Hunted relics. Team RWBY followed their professors' orders and nabbed the four pieces. Now that there was one left in the half-demon's grasp, it made things a lot trickier.
Weiss thought out loud as she tapped the mug once. "I wonder what she has planned."
When Yang set the mug down, a thump rang out. "I just want this over with. I want her dead."
"That's a blunt way to put it," Weiss said softly.
From Yang's words, Weiss looked down at the table. She didn't know what to think as she gripped her sweatpants.
The priestess wasn't sure what she thought about Cinder. She didn't hate the half-demon even after all she'd done to her. Even so, thinking that she wanted Cinder dead didn't feel right.
It had to be done. There was no way around it. Either Cinder or Weiss herself would die.
The curse trapped her.
Maybe she felt more like it was her duty to eradicate Cinder. Probably because Willow had protected a piece of the relic. Probably because Ozpin still wished to die properly rather than be reincarnated over and over, suffering from his own curse.
She just hoped that the half-demon wouldn't suffer a pitiful demise.
Weiss' reaction caused Yang to feel worried, so she held her hand out on top of the table. From the invitation, Weiss placed her cold hand in her own.
"I just- I want your curse gone," Yang stated softly, yet firmly. "Cinder has to die for you to be okay."
"Yeah," the priestess had to agree. She wanted her curse gone as well. To stay with Yang. The thought of taking a life was unsettling, but this wasn't something she could avoid.
Yang noticed her girlfriend's uncertainty and squeezed her hand. That earned a squeeze back.
"I love you," Yang said fondly.
"I love you, too," Weiss replied in a heartbeat.
"Which is why we can do this," Yang said with a grin. "We gotta aim up higher."
Weiss casually glanced out the window to find that it was still gray outside. "I just wish we knew what lies in store."
"So what?" Yang questioned calmly. "That's never stopped us before."
"You're right," Weiss conceded and clicked her mouth a couple of times. "Huh, that felt weird."
"Agreeing with me?" Yang asked with a smirk, which earned a nod. "You might wanna get used to it."
In response, Weiss leaned in. Yang followed and their faces were mere centimeters apart. Lovingly, Weiss pecked her girlfriend's nose. That elicited a short laugh.
"After all this is over can we perhaps go on a romantic date?" Weiss asked.
"McDonald's it is."
"Brute."
There are lyrics mentioned from the song I'm a Believer by Amalee. "Come on, let's aim up higher. So what? If I don't know what lies in store. So what? That's never stopped me before. So what? I don't care about our odds I'm a believer!"
The title is: "I will keep on running onward even though I'm outta breath."
DAAAAAAYUM! I've given several hints in previous chapters that the ladybug pair has been sexually active. This is just the first scene 'on screen' ;D
Stay dandy,
~Toto
