"Hi, honey, I'm home," Ruby smirked as she started taking off her school uniform even before she slams closed the dorm room door.
"I am not your 'honey," her irate sounding partner said from the bathroom as Ruby tossed her dirty clothes in her hamper. Ruby smirked again as she walked in the bathroom to shower as Weiss asked, "How did your meeting go with Professor Goodwich?"
"You know you do have a rocking, good body," Ruby said to Weiss's reflection in the mirror while she continued to brush her hair. Ruby was kind of surprise Weiss was allowing her to see her standing there naked. So surprised that Ruby had to struggle hiding her grin; even though it has been only a few days, Ruby was happy that she was finally having a good influence on her roommate. "Although, it is not as tight as mine," Ruby did several poses and flexed her muscles as the reflection showed Weiss rolling her eyes. "Still, you shouldn't hide it behind all those clothes."
"Ah, yes," Weiss said turning around, giving Ruby a look of real irritation and not the fake one she normally shows. "Instead of having boys fighting for my attention due to my wealth, let's add in more boys to the mixture whom are only interested in trying to sleep with me as well. Thank you but no."
"I wear less then you and I never have that trouble," Ruby shot back as she stepped into the shower to turn it on, briefly wondered why she only need a bottle of body soap and shampoo while Weiss seemed to have enough different bottles, she could open a store.
"When you finally reach puberty, I'm sure you will understand."
"We are the same size, Snowflake," Ruby shot back as she quickly used the shower.
"Yes, but your immaturity outshines everything else."
"What you call immature, others would call 'being free spirited and fun'."
"Except, Ruby, the only time you are actually being 'free spirited' and having fun is when you are filling a Grimm full of holes from your weapon." Weiss said as Ruby shut off the shower. It was the one advantage she had over her partner, having short hair and only one bottle of soap, she could shower in less time than it took Weiss to undress. "Now, what did Professor Goodwitch have to say about your altercation earlier?"
Ruby jumped out of the shower, ran over and gave Weiss a hug from behind. Looking in to the mirror, she saw Weiss's eyes go wide before they narrowed at her. Smirking, Ruby said, "Do you know how lucky I am to have someone who 'gets me' like you do?"
"Ruby, you are getting me wet."
"I bet I am," she teases Weiss back.
"Ruby, you are very wet."
"Oh, and how can you tell, hmm?"
"Because you just got out of the shower, dunce. And no physical touching while one or both of us are naked." Weiss said while lightly trying to pull Ruby's arms away from her stomach.
"Aw, but you also said no hugging while we're dressed either." Ruby tease while giving Weiss a pair of sad eyes, which by her expression, Weiss didn't believe her lying eyes just as Ruby didn't think Weiss's annoyance was real.
"Sensing a pattern, are we?" Weiss gave her a sigh and swatted away Ruby's hand. "And there is nothing sticking up there, so stop feeling for one."
"There is one and I will pull it out of your ass one day," Ruby stuck her tongue out as she grabbed her towel.
"Not before you tell me what Professor Goodwitch said in your meeting?"
"Basically the same thing you were saying," Ruby grimaced as she wiped down Weiss's back as Weiss resumed brushing her hair. "So whatever, you win a hundred fucking brownie points. Happy now? She also said that she has had a discussion with Cardin before she came to get me and told him the same thing."
"What type of punishment was dealt out?" Weiss asked as Ruby dried herself.
"She is going to make an example out of us, apparently this isn't as uncommon as we assumed. Ostensibly, they have students go after each other at least once in their first year. Normally, it usually happens after we been around each other for least a month. When I pointed out it was just another example of my advance abilities, I swore the room temp dropped 100 degrees. You, my partner, you could learn a thing or two about glaring from her."
"If that is what it takes to keep you in line, I will have to make some inquiries."
"Cute. So, essentially, Cardin and I had just volunteered ourselves to be the first students to spar each other at the first combat class Monday morning."
"Explain?" Weiss asked placing her brush on the small counter while Ruby just fluffed out her hair, she never did much more than that in the morning anyways. "Have you tried gel?"
"Only use gel on very special occasions. From what Gyldia told me, when students get to the point that they want to smash someone's face in, they can request to use the sparing session to help eradicate any lingering feeling of hostility. Evidently, housing a bunch of teenagers and adults who have trained their whole lives to beat the shit out of Grimm can cause a few problems with interpersonal relationships among the student body." Ruby recited as she walked out to their sleeping area then came to a full stop, causing Weiss to walk into her. "Why are your clothes hang on my bunk?"
"We are going out this evening …"
"Weiss, you taking me out for a date?" spinning around and throwing her arms up to block the doorway, a wide eye, goofy grinning Ruby went on a rambling talk. "This is so sudden, so impulsive, so surprising. I have no idea what to say! Or to think! Granted, I'm not sure if you are my type or not, yet, but that is not as important as the fact you're becoming an almost real live teenager! Imagine what you will like after spending four years around me?"
"Disowned, no doubt." Weiss said deadpan and with an elegant raised eyebrow, "No, we are not going on a date, we are, however, are going to spend the evening in town with Blake and Yang …"
"Wow … talk about being a buzz kill, Weiss; I had so much hope for you."
"As well as Team JNPR," Weiss said pushing Ruby out of the doorway.
"No."
"Yes. As I stated earlier, we need allies. All six individuals are in our camp; I would like to shore up that core support as well as get to know them better. Going out to eat and take in a movie, as a group, will give us ample time to get to know them better."
"Even Jaune?"
"Sadly yes, he is the team leader of JNPR."
"Nope, I'm not going. This is not my idea of a fun night."
"Yes, you are going. For one, they are expecting you and it would be rude to back out now."
"I don't remember agreeing to this …"
"Two, need I remind you that we need allies …"
"Find, you go and I'll stay here and have fun by myself."
"Ruby, why must you be difficult in everything …"
"I'm not being difficult!"
"Yes, you are."
"No, I am not!"
"Yes."
"No, no, no."
"Yes, yes, and um … I believe the answer to your query is, yes."
"Oh, now I see what is really going on here! Look, I told you before, if you want to get in Jaune's pants, find some other wing girl." Ruby stomped over to a very crossed looking heiress who was holding up a black skirt. "And I don't wear dresses."
"Please," Weiss held the skirt out for Ruby, who snatched it out of Weiss hands, and tried it on, without looking at it very hard. "If I become so desperate for human companionship as to sleep with him; you have my permission, nay, my everlasting gratitude, to end my existence in any manner you wish. Does that fit?"
"Oh, hell no, when you get that desperate, I'll let you live, just so I can watch you suffer and enjoy every wretched second of it." Ruby twisted over to the full length mirror to see how the micro black skirt looked on her. Holy shit, this is a very micro … is she a closet freak? "It's … ah … a bit shorter then I would have guess from you, Weiss."
"I purchased it on a whim, although, I have never found an occasion in which to wear it." Weiss brought over a piece of netting. "Do you like the skirt?" Ruby held her breath as she shot a confident look back at Weiss, the skirt was a bit short even for her, way shorter then Ruby would ever buy on her own, if she ever bothered buying skirts and such. Nevertheless, Ruby stubbornly refuse to admit that to Weiss. "This is the top I purchased for that skirt."
The net that Weiss had been holding turned out to be a sheer top, like the mesh that Ruby had on the outline of her body socks. Unlike her body socks, the entire top was see thru except a small black material that covered her upper body lady parts. The shirt, if one could call it a shirt, was long sleeve, yet was off both shoulders and came down only to her belly button. I look like a slut, was Ruby's first thought as she twisted around to look at it. Damn hot looking slut but still!
"I must admit, it does looks good on you, perhaps better on you then on me since you have a more define muscle tone," Weiss said deadpan as Ruby realized that there was no way she could wear a bra with this so-called shirt unless she wanted to look like a loser, cowardly dweeb.
"Of course, I make it look good. When are you going to learn, Snowflake? I make anything look good." Ruby snapped, trying hard not to cringe. Even if she was at a complete lost as to why anyone would want to wear anything like this in public, she wasn't going to admit it out loud, not now, not to her.
"I stand corrected," Weiss said deadpan but then unbent enough to grin. "Alright, take it off; we shall find something more appropriate for you to wear."
"What?"
"I wasn't serious about you wearing … that … in public, I was only being flippant. I had purchased it on a whim but never wore it myself. I seriously doubt any woman would willingly wear that outfit in public or even have the desire too. The only reason I still have it because I didn't want any of the maids snooping around my old room, finding it and reporting it to my father. He would have had not only my head but he would track down the handler who failed to notice my purchase and make her life a miserable for all time. Now, come along and we will find something more appropriate for someone your age to wear, something less risqué." Weiss must had missed Ruby's look as she turned back to her pile of clothing. "We are fortunate that our sizes are compatible."
"What? No way, Jose."
"What?" Weiss looked back, still grinning.
"Just because you are too cowardly to wear it, doesn't mean I am." Ruby threw her 'stubborn' mode into full operation. "I like this outfit and I want to wear it."
"Ruby," Weiss lost her grin and put on her 'don't argue with me' face.
"Don't give that look," Ruby crossed her arms and stared down the older girl. "Maybe I like this look. I think it makes me look … um …?"
"Like a streetwalker?"
"Older, more mature … daring."
"You look like a kid who is play dress up with her mom's clothing."
"Fuck you. Just because you don't have the balls to be anything but boring …"
"Truly, I must have an answer as to why must you always be confrontational about everything?"
"Why are you?"
"I am not being …," Weiss cut herself off by throwing up her hands. "Fine, do as you wish, far be it for me to make any helpful suggestions that will keep you from being arrested by the local police for prostitution." Ruby gave her a smug smile as Weiss grabbed her own underwear from her bunk. "I assume you will be san undergarments, as is your norm?"
"Of course," Ruby said with more confidence then she felt but she heard a challenge in Weiss question and she will be damn if she was going to let Weiss win. "It's Friday night, time to cut loose and be free."
"Then please wash it before you return it," Weiss said while pulling on a garter belt.
Ruby watch Weiss for a second before an evil smile crossed her lips. "I propose a new rule."
"What?" Weiss asked suspiciously, stopping herself from pulling on her hose, as Ruby knelt down in front of her.
"Rule 13."
"Ruby, we have to get ready …"
"They can wait, anyways, I am already ready. Thanks to the best uptight wanker in the whole wide world, whom I am now starting to think is a closet degenerate."
"You are the only degenerate on this team, perhaps this entire school." Weiss snapped as she finished pulling on her hose. "And you still have to pick out a pair of heals to wear."
"No!"
"Yes!"
"Fuck you, I hate shoes! I can go barefoot."
"No!"
"Yes!"
"Ruby!" Weiss growled as she stood up. "We are going to an adult restaurant. Not one where you tell some idiot in a paper crown how you want your burger done your way. Real restaurants have a dress code and shoes are the minimum requirement to enter."
"Fucking hell … fine how about your black flats?"
"Heals would be better with that dress, it would show off your legs better."
"No heals!"
"Yes! Now grow up, Ruby! Ever young lady should know how to be graceful and … wait. Sorry, forgot who I was talking to. I should just be happy you know how to use eating utensils."
"Kiss my ass Schnee."
"Fine, flats are acceptable. Now can we allow me to finish getting ready?"
"First, proposed Rule 13."
"If it will make you happy and allow me to finish getting dress."
"On nights in which we are not on duty; you can't wear any petticoats, garter belts, absolutely nothing underneath! I don't care what you wear on the outside but nothing underneath." Ruby hid a smile as Weiss slowly turn to look at her with a look that was a mixture of horror and annoyance graced her face. "This Rule will not be enforceable for combat dress or for our class uniforms."
"No!"
"Yep."
"No! No! Absolutely not! I will not be pressured into … this rule goes too far, Miss Rose! You cannot, CAN-NOT, force me to do something that I find objectionable! I have a reputation to maintain and this stupid rule will make harder, nay impossible, to maintain that reputation!"
"That didn't stop you from making Rule 7!" Ruby shot back as she slipped on the black flats
Weiss put her hands on her hips and gave Ruby a smile that a Beowolf would envy. "One day, future historians while discussing the amazing feats from Team White Rose, they will point out our greatest contributions towards Mankind continual survival against the Grimm started with Rule 7."
"Bitch," Ruby gasped out as Weiss's smile grew bigger. "Fine, I am invoking Rule 2."
"You wouldn't dare!"
Ruby stomped over to her desk and pulled out a small cloth bag that held her Dungeons and Grimm dice. Ruby fished out the 20-sided die and slapped it down on Weiss's desk top. Weiss glared at the die and then at Ruby, whom was smirking like an idiot.
"Fine," Weiss whispered out between clenched teeth. "Then I am invoking Rule 2 subsection 'a'."
"Let's hear it."
"You are not allowed to curse anymore … ever."
"What!" Ruby squeaked out.
"No more vulgar terms, no crasser words …"
"Fucking Whore!"
"Exactly, no more of that either. You wish to curse; you will have to be more inventive then a drunken sailor on a four-day leave. So basically, if it is not a term you can use in a mix company of school children and their parents, you lose. Every time you violate Rule 13 subsection a, I get to choose which undergarment I get to wear for one night. Agree?"
"Hey! I allowed an exception for class and combat uniforms, you know. Can't you do the same? In the heat of battle, it will be harder, to quote you 'nay impossible', not to speak with profanity. And seriously, who the fuck says 'nay' anyways? I mean besides uptight wankers with sticks up their asses like you!"
"I guess that is a fair point," Weiss said then nodded in agreement. "Yes, I will allow an exception for battle, actual battle and not just practice bouts, however, that is as far as I am willing to go."
"Alright, I can live with that … I guess."
"And I further propose another amendment that this rule to be review anytime in the next thirty days by either party, agree?"
"Agree," Ruby said picking up the dice. "You know the rules; since I proposed the rule, I only get two rolls. You get three rolls but you have to beat my total score by the third roll or else the rule and it's two amendments are consider valid. In the unlikely event of a tie, we each get one more roll until the tie is broken." Ruby held out her hand towards Weiss. "Ready?"
Weiss took the die, shaking it in her fist before letting it roll across her desk top. "10"
"16"
"18"
"14. Fuck me. You have 28 and I have 30. Okay Weiss, all you need is a three or higher to win. Two will be a tie."
Weiss, without comment but wearing a wicked smile, let the die roll …
"That movie was, almost, maybe, somewhat, kind of, better than I thought it would be," Ruby said from the rear of the van, where she was practically sitting on Weiss's lap since all eight of them were crammed into the same cab.
Yang had to twist her neck to look back at the two squabbling girls as well as Nora and Ren. Weiss, while looking annoyed, which was pretty standard for her, wasn't pushing Ruby off of her. Instead the white hair heiress rolled her eyes and told her pint size teammate, "Not every movie has to have explosions in order to be enjoyable."
"Yeah, but the best movies do have great explosions! It is science!" Nora, who was crammed in between Ren and Weiss, screamed and fist bump Ruby while Ren and Weiss exchanged looks.
"Nora, you have to expand your horizons once in a while," Pyrrha smiled then looked at Jaune and her smile got bigger. "As should other people."
"I still say 'Dead by Daylight, part duce da slice' would have been a better choice." Jaune sat on the edge, next to Pyrrha, who couldn't stop smiling all night.
"Ah yes, group of students' trap in a mystic world with a psychotic maniac who want to sacrifices then one by one to his spider god." Yang's partner, Blake said, from the front seat. Unlike Yang, Pyrrha and Jaune, she had plenty of room to move around. "How original, just like the last 13 'Dead by Daylight' movies."
"At least it's easier to figure out then that falling white feather that they kept flashing on the screen," Ruby started squirming again, this time, Weiss did glare at her. "They never did explain that in the movie."
"Stop squirming, please. If you're going to insist on using my lap as a seat, then I want you to stay still."
"My skirt keeps riding up."
"How? There isn't enough skirt to cover you as is," Yang reminded her with a bit of acid in her voice.
Yang had no idea where Ruby got that … that … so-called outfit but Yang didn't like it one bit. It was too reveling for someone her age …for her at any age. Which matter nothing to Ruby, who claimed it she looked good in it and she was old enough to do what she wants.
"Maybe, next time, you will understand why we all requested for you to change into something more appropriate." Pyrrha said glaring at the youngest hunter. Jaune said something under his breath which got Pyrrha glaring at him.
"Yeah, yeah, I know; bad things will happen to me. Even though most people never even notice."
"Except those two waiters running into each other as we were leaving the restaurant, that was hilarious!" Nora screamed out, giggling.
"Yeah, okay that was kind of funny." Ruby said blushing a bit.
"The manager didn't think so," Blake said with a ghost of a grin. "But seeing that loathsome fat lady wearing that dessert tray was amusing."
"You guys have to admit seeing that guy on the bicycle slamming into that building outside the theater was a riot."
"You know it, Jaune, especially since he stared back at the wall as if it had purposely stood there for him to run into." Ruby said giggling along with him. "And that girl at the theater said I look good, so good she gave me a discount."
"She didn't give you a discount, dolt. She charged you the child admission."
Yang and the rest of the gang laugh as Ruby glared at Weiss, who sat there with a perfectly straight face and going out of her way not to notice the girl on her lap. Yang watched as Ruby rolled her eyes, glance outside and started to open her mouth before her gaze sharpen as she went rigid.
"Stop the cab, now!" The cabbie slammed on his brakes as Ruby stood up, grabbing a surprised and confused Weiss's hand. "Yang, there is an arm robbery back at the store, bunch guys with swords! Let's go, guys!"
"Wait for us," Blake told the cabbie as everyone followed Ruby out of the van.
"And contact the authorities, if you would please," Pyrrha shouted as her and Jaune ran down the street, hot on Yang's heels.
Yang made it to the store entrance to see Ruby and Weiss staring down at least 20 armed goons, all carrying reddish swords. Ruby dodge one of the goons as he swung at her, Ruby used her semblances to dodge to her left, while Yang step to her right. She allowed her own semblance and aura loose as she brought her right fist up to connect with the goon swing at Ruby. She let out a grin as the man went flying thirty feet to the back wall and slid down, no doubt he was out of the fight and will have a nasty headache when he wakes up later.
Yang looked for her next target, sure they had swords and the young huntress and hunters were unarmed. But then again, Yang though with a huge grin. A true Huntress is never unarmed!
