Rubi watched Yue in the library and smiled. Rubi had seemed more masculine lately in an attempt to win Yue over, since it seemed rather obvious that the angel wasn't interested in women. Rubi Muun, after all, was a genderless being, and with a little magic would soon have a gender. She leaned against the doorframe and waited for Yue to notice her. He turned around and cried out in surprise.
"Ack!"
"Sorry." She shrugged, walking in and flopping comfortably into one of the red plush chairs. Yue looked at her for a moment with those startling eyes before he looked back to the book he was reading. She sighed after more silence. "Yue.."
"Yes?" He said tonelessly.
"I.. um.. did you want some tea?"
"No thank you."
More silence. Rubi groaned in frustration. "Why won't you speak to me?"
"Give me a reason to."
"Because if it wasn't for me, you'd still be a battered pleasure slave rather than Clow Reed's little lapdog!" She snapped, and Yue recoiled as if he'd been hit.
"Lapdog?" He choked out, eyes wide. Usually Rubi would've stopped as soon as she'd seen that look, but not today.
"Yes, lapdog! Yue, you idiot, fawning all over him like a puppy, you're a disgrace to the rest of us."
"If it bothers you so much, then go away." He looked to the book.
"I can't."
"Then stop complaining."
Keroberos walked into the room and flopped down, nudging Yue's ankle affectionately before glaring at Rubi, purring contentedly as Yue reached down and scratched behind his ears.
"You won't let me do that.." Rubi protested. Kero shrugged and didn't respond. Growling, Rubi stood up, her eyes flaring red. "You want to know why else you're an idiot, Yue?"
"No, but you'll tell me, I'm sure."
"Because I love you!" She turned on her heel and walked out, leaving the two shocked creatures in the library.
