Here's 9, chapter 10 is in final draft. I enjoy reading some of your reviews, they amuse me. We'll be getting in Volume 3 in a couple chapters(not sure how many yet) and then well you all know that song and dance. I think some of ya'll will enjoy this chapter. As usual Rooster Teeth owns everything RWBY.

With Ruby gone Nathan concentrated more on his work with a picture or text coming every once in a while. Ruby and Yang's dad delivered their dog Zwei in the mail apparently that Weiss had taken a liking too judging from some of the pictures Ruby sent. Strangely Blake didn't seem too fond of Zwei seeing how she was standing on her bunk in one picture.

After that he just received a quick text with a smiling selfie of Ruby before she went off on her mission. Now Nathan was alone with his work and his thoughts, he finished some customers' weapons that needed work and put the finishing touches on the pulse rifle mostly fixing some of the feed issues the weapon occasionally had.

The next day there was an alert that a breach had occurred with Grimm getting into Vale that was quickly dealt with by huntsmen and huntresses and Nathan soon learned Team RWBY played a part in the breach dealing with Grimm and White Fang terrorists. Ruby texted they were back but they were going to rest for the remainder of the day but she said she'll be by the next day.

When Ruby came to his place she met him in the shop room as he was just getting done with work. "Sup."

"Hey, heard about yesterday." Nathan said seeing her come in before giving Ruby a hug.

"Yeah, it was totally crazy with a train and Grimm and explosions! But I'm just glad we had help, if we didn't I don't know if we woulda won." Ruby said somewhat sadly at the end.

"You're here now right?" He said before kissing her. She pressed her body against him before he let her go. "So what's the occasion for the visit?"

"Well the semester is over and they're letting students go on vacation. Me and Yang are going back to see my dad in Patch, I was wondering if you wanted to come with us?" She asked rocking back and forth on her feet.

"I can but does you dad expect me to come along?"

"I asked him and he was cool with it if you don't mind sleeping on the floor."

"Uh sure, but isn't he afraid we'll…you know." Nathan said with a blush.

Ruby did so as well. "I-I don't know, maybe he's just trying to be mean and not let you use the couch."

"Not too mean if I can stay in your room." He answered.

"Also bring swim clothes, there's a heat wave going through Patch so we might be able to visit the beach while we're there."

This gave Nathan mental images of Ruby in swimwear, he couldn't wait to see her in that. "When are you guys leaving?"

"A couple days, Weiss already left for Atlas and I think Blake said she was going to stick around. I brought some of my stuff cause I was gonna stay with you for a bit." She said pointing at her bag.

"I suppose you ca-wait what?" He asked.

"I wanted to give Yang some space and I wanted to spend extra time with ya if you couldn't come." Ruby answered smiling.

"I guess you can have the bed, what do you want to do today?"

"I want to eat first and then maybe a movie or something?" She said.

"Ok, you can leave your stuff in my room and we can go."

They eventually made it to the pizza buffet visited previously and Ruby did her usual thing of eating everything in sight, Nathan supposed she missed breakfast. After that they went to a nearby theater to she an action movie Ruby wanted to see. Nathan bought her some overpriced candy because Ruby gave him the puppy eye treatment until he relented. As they sat down in the top back row he didn't notice Ruby hasn't put down the armrest separating them until she edged closer to him and held his hand around halfway through the movie. When the movie was over Ruby was talking a mile a minute about the movie including sound effects as they were leaving the theater into night time Vale.

They were getting hungry again so they stopped at a fast food place for some burgers, which Nathan was glad he didn't have to pay for everything this time. When they were walking back to his place Ruby was holding his hand for most of the trip but she was also walking very close to him which she hasn't really done that before.

Walking through the door Nathan was glad neither of his parents were there, he assumed they were in bed since it was after midnight. The two went upstairs to his room after he locked the front door. "You want to change first?" He asked her.

"Yeah, it won't take long." Ruby said as she went into the bathroom that was a part of his bedroom.

True to her word she came back out a few minutes later wearing a black t-shirt with a cartoonish beowolf on it and loose white sweatpants with pink roses on them. Ruby was also blushing a little. "Your turn."

Nathan went in and just striped down to his boxers, he thought of wearing a shirt but it was a warmer night so figured he'd be fine. When he came out Ruby's face turned very red. "Woah mama!"

"What?" Nathan said.

"N-nothing." Ruby muttered, embarrassed at her outburst upon seeing so much man flesh.

He thought it might've been more with the hungry look on Ruby's face but ignored it as he set up some stuff on the floor so he won't just have bare carpet to sleep on. Ruby crawled into his bed and rolled around a bit to get comfy under the covers. "Can you kill the light? I would but I don't wanna get up."

"Alright Rubes." He said hitting the light switch plunging the room into darkness with exception being the ambient light coming from the moon through his window.

Nathan laid down on his makeshift floor bed. "Night Rubes."

"Night Nate." Ruby answered from his bed.

He laid in the dark having a difficult time going to sleep knowing Ruby was there, she felt the same way and somewhat guilty at taking his bed. "Nate?"

"Yeah?" He said still wide awake.

"W-wanna c-come into b-bed?" She stammered.

Nathan wasn't sure how to answer that so told her the first thing that crossed his mind. "Yes."

Ruby scooted over and moved the covers out of the way so he could get in. He laid down facing towards Ruby with her facing him. Nathan's heart was beating so loud he could hear it in his head and he thought he could almost hear Ruby's. She moved closer to him and kissed him. "Nate?"

"Hmm?"

"C-can I-I touch you?" She asked her face getting redder.

"Uhh s-sure." He wasn't sure where she was going with this.

She placed he hands on his chest lightly touching him. Nathan wasn't a bodybuilder but he was still fairly fit. Ruby ran her hands on him like a curious child that he thought was cute. When Ruby stopped she was quiet for a few seconds and said "D-do y-you want t-to touch mine?" She was implying her breasts.

Nathan's heart was beating faster leaving him speechless forcing him to just nod. Ruby sat up and pulled off her t-shirt exposing the pale upper half of her body. He reached out and copped one of her breasts which made her give out a small gasp and shiver a little from his cold hand. Nathan could feel her heart beating very rapidly through her breast and then he felt the other one. "D-do you l-like them?" She asked nervously.

"Y-yes, you don't need big boobs for me to like you." He said causing Ruby to kiss him and pull him back down from their sitting position.

"Thanks." Ruby said as she pulled herself close to Nathan, her breasts against him. All this excitement made Nathan's member become quite hard which Ruby felt against her through their clothes. Ruby was a dark shade of red when she asked. "Nate can w-we do….y-you know."

"A-are you sure you want to?" He asked, Nathan wasn't sure if she did and didn't want to force her.

"Yes, I want this….I-I want you." She said looking him in the eyes. "Yang told me it hurts the first time but aura dulls the pain same."

Nathan also knew that he would need to change the sheets tomorrow because there will be blood as well. "A-alright." He said as he removed his boxers making her stare at his manhood.

Ruby then pulled down her pants showing off her black panties she wore underneath which she also slipped out of. Nathan quickly retrieved a condom from his desk and slipped it on.

Returning above Ruby he looked down at her and she nodded. He slowly entered her with Ruby gritting her teeth and as she let out a gasp and started breathing heavily. "Keep going."

Nathan did as she asked and went all the way in. He leaned down to kiss her before he started slowly thrusting trying to be gentle. Ruby was trying to keep the cries of pain and moans down with her hand. Her eyes were watering and within minutes she went rigid having climaxed for the first time. "You ok?" Nathan asked thinking he may have hurt her.

"Yeah, just keep going." She said before kissing him.

Nathan experimented by kissing and nibbling her neck which she didn't tell him to stop, in fact she encouraged it by making small nods and ruffling his hair. Nathan then gripped her hips for a few more thrusts before he released himself inside her, he prayed to Oum that the condom didn't break.

He collapsed on top of her exhausted, Ruby was as well still making little mewls of pain. "Oww my hips hurt."

"Heh, you said….you wanted it." Nathan said through huffs.

"Well yeah….I just didn't think….it'd hurt this much."

"Don't worry, aura will fix that. Then it should just feel good."

"Yeah…..and maybe we can try….other stuff Yang and Blake told me about."

Nathan understood what she was getting at. "Yeah, we can if you want."

"But nothing more tonight and Nate?"

"Yes Rubes?"

"Bring more of those condoms with you when we go to Patch." Ruby said with a mischievous look.

Gripes? Bitches? Complaints? Let me know.
