Pairing: White Rose
Summary: Yang bets Ruby a hundred dollars that she can't do something.

Ruby loved her sister. She really did! But sometimes, Yang had a way of...overstaying her welcome. Not that she ever wasn't welcome! Just...sometimes Ruby had other things to do, and Yang hanging around kind of prevented her from doing those things.

"You didn't eat much," Yang said, nodding towards Ruby's partially-filled plate. "You feeling ok?"

"Oh, yeah. I ate a really big lunch."

Yang accepted the answer with a nod and easy smile, not hearing the grumbles from Ruby's stomach. Half of a dinner wasn't exactly what she'd planned tonight, but she would survive. Hopefully.

"Shouldn't you be meeting Blake now?" she asked for probably the seventh time. Again, her hopes rose only to be dashed when Yang looked at her phone and shook her head.

"Still waiting for her to message me." Yang waved off the question before putting her elbows on the table and leaning forward. The look in her eyes - one of the eager, excited variety - made Ruby instantly wary of what was coming next.

"Since I have a few minutes, give me a love life update."

Ruby immediately groaned and leaned away from the table.

"Now? Seriously?"

"Yes, now! And did you like how I said I have a few minutes? Because that's how long this should take, right?"

"Ha ha," Ruby replied with a roll of her eyes. "Very funny."

Apparently, Yang found it funny, as evidenced from her smile. "But come on, spill," she added. "I need to know."

"'Need to?'"

"Yes, it's my right as your sister."

"I don't think that's a thing…"

"I just made it one, but don't try to avoid the question - anyone special in your life? Or anyone you've tried and unsuccessfully flirted with?"

Ruby blushed and shook her head at the questions.

"Nothing's changed since the last time you asked."

"Figured." Sitting back in her chair, Yang blew a breath of air through her lips. "You know what you need to do?" she said, suddenly sitting forward and looking far more determined than Ruby would like. "You need to get out there and be super forward."

"Uh…"

"Yeah! Like when I met Blake - I walked right up to her and told her she was beautiful."

"And she told you to take a hike," Ruby added, but Yang waved off the response.

"Only temporarily! Then we bumped into each other again and she wanted to talk."

"You tracked her down and profusely apologized for using the stupid line."

"Well whatever! I was still super forward and got the girl, so it works."

Rolling her eyes, Ruby glanced towards the bar and suddenly wished she was one of the patrons sitting there. Watching television or talking to friends...and not going through her love life with her sister.

"I got it," Yang suddenly whispered, tapping Ruby's arm to get her attention. "Now's the perfect time! Go ask that girl for her number."

When Yang nodded towards one of the patrons at the bar - the prettiest and therefore most intimidating - Ruby shook her head and scoffed.

"No way."

"Come on, you can do this! Use what I taught you and woo her off her feet! Or off the barstool - whatever."

Ruby glanced at the girl again, with her long, perfectly-styled white hair cascading down her back, and her slim figure fitting perfectly into her evening dress. Just looking at her made Ruby's heart flutter. And when she imagined talking to her...

"I'm sure she doesn't want to be bothered," Ruby said, turning away and shaking her head. "She just wants to have a nice night without getting hit on by strangers."

"How do you know that without talking to her?"

"I just know by looking at her!"

The comment seemed pretty accurate. The girl's posture didn't invite conversation. Neither did the way she slowly stirred the drink in front of her while staring at her phone.

"I'll give you a hundred bucks if you can get her number right now."

Now that changed things. A hundred dollars paid for Ruby's meal and another.

"Really?"

Yang nodded and drew an 'X' over her heart with one finger. "I swear," she said at the same time. "If you can bring back her number, I'll give you a hundred bucks."

When Ruby was about to ask whether or not Yang even had the money, she pulled out her wallet and removed a hundred dollar bill. Adding some drama to the dare, she slapped the money down on the table before sliding it closer to Ruby.

"Whatcha say?"

Considering a hundred dollars was several free dinners and the worst that could happen was Ruby royally embarrassed herself, she decided she might as well go along with it. If Yang wanted to lose money, then Ruby was willing to take it.

"Fine."

Yang's eyes widened at the answer. "Seriously?"

"Yang," Ruby said, shaking her head when Yang laughed.

"Ok, ok. Can't wait to see this."

With Yang sitting back in her chair to watch, Ruby stood up and took a deep breath.

This didn't have to be a big deal. Maybe it would get Yang to stop asking about her love life all the time. Plus, free money was always good. And, selfishly, she wanted to prove that she wasn't as big of a dunce as Yang thought she was. She could talk to girls! Even pretty ones.

Of course, this girl was beyond pretty. She was gorgeous. Absolutely stunning. The type of beautiful seen in magazines and movies, but never in real life.

And as Ruby walked over, she realized just how attracted she was to this girl in particular.

With a hundred dollars on the line, she stopped near the bar and cleared her throat. The sound drew a piercing blue gaze her way, which dried out her mouth and forced her to lick her lips before continuing.

"Hey," she managed to get out. When the girl smiled at the greeting, Ruby immediately blushed.

"Hey."

With that slightly-amused smile still in place, the girl turned away from the bar and gave Ruby her full attention - and Ruby felt her brain short-circuit. It was so hard to concentrate with those eyes looking at her, and that smile aimed at her, and that dress begging her to look down.

"My, uh, my sister said she'd give me a hundred bucks if I can get your number," she stammered out, accidentally glancing down and blushing the instant she saw smooth, white curves. "So I was hoping...you could write it down for me…"

As expected, this situation was amusing to everyone not named Ruby, as evidenced by the musical laugh that further deepened her blush and attraction to the girl sitting in front of her.

"A hundred dollars?"

"Yeah," Ruby replied, smiling at how silly the dare sounded. "She think I'm horrible with girls."

As soon as the comment slipped out and blue eyes flashed with excitement, Ruby knew she was in trouble. That sense of trouble only increased when the girl drew a lithe finger across the bartop before trailing it up Ruby's arm. Goosebumps immediately appeared, and she found herself craving what came next - whatever it might be.

"You know…maybe you should show your sister how good you are with girls."

Ruby hadn't yet processed the comment before a hand grabbed the front of her shirt and pulled her forward. The moment her lips met another pair, however, sparks flew through her veins and her body responded in kind. The hand let go of her shirt and wove through her hair instead, sending shivers of thrill down her spine while she gave in and returned the kiss in earnest.

The attraction and desire she'd held at bay the entire evening finally burst free, greedily accepting the outlet while accepting the warm tongue that slipped into her mouth.

She'd seen the girl walk into the restaurant. She'd noticed the dress - meant to draw eyes as it accentuated all the right places. And she'd caught the lustful glances snuck her way when she 'wasn't looking.'

Even though Ruby had the better position, she ceded dominance to the girl sitting on the stool in front of her. Their tongues swirled together while she pressed closer, grasping onto thin, smooth hips through the fabric of the dress. She heard the soft moans of delight from the girl in her hands, spurring her even further.

But when one of those sounds reached a certain pitch, both of them pulled away, abruptly remembering they were in public and that they'd gone as far as they should go.

Trying to catch her breath and wishing away her rampant blush, Ruby watched in fascination and arousal as the girl calmly pulled a pen and slip of paper from her bag and wrote down her number.

"This is for you only," she said, handing it over with a smile and wink that did nothing to douse the flames burning in Ruby's chest.

"T-thanks," Ruby stammered before noticing the glances the bartender kept giving her. Feeling her blush double in intensity, she gave the girl a parting smile before hurrying back to her table - where Yang was staring at her in slack-jawed shock.

"Did it," she mumbled while seeking the refuge of her seat.

"Holy - hell!" Yang replied, her eyes wide as she looked between Ruby and the bar multiple times. "Did that really just happen? How did you do that?"

When Yang's phone buzzed on the table, she snatched it, read the message, and sighed. "Of course Blake's ready now. Ok, you're coming over tomorrow to explain what the hell just happened."

"Sure," Ruby mumbled, hoping Yang would forget between now and then. Either that, or Ruby would come up with a passable explanation between now and then.

"You totally earned that," Yang said, still grinning like mad while pushing the money across the table. She then gathered the rest of her belongings and stood up to leave, but didn't walk away without stopping by Ruby's side and glancing towards the bar.

"She's hot though - good job."

Ruby's blush returned when Yang winked before walking away. At this rate, she was going to be embarrassed for the rest of her life, but...it might be worth it.

Finally alone, she sighed and snuck a glance towards the bar. Spotting the girl of her dreams standing up, her heart pounded while butterflies fluttered through her chest. That feeling only increased when blue eyes held her gaze and another drop-dead gorgeous smile appeared.

By the time the chair across from her pulled out and her second dinner guest sat down, Ruby could hardly believe her luck.

"Hey."

Clearly an imitation of Ruby's less-than-steller greeting from before, she smiled and shook her head.

"Sorry, Weiss," she replied. "I didn't think that would take so long, but she didn't want to leave."

"That's ok." Picking up the menu Yang had left behind, Weiss calmly opened it before a slow, seductive smile appeared. "I actually enjoyed the wait."

When Weiss winked at her, Ruby felt her blush grow to catastrophically-hot levels.

"Yeah, I should, uh...probably tell her soon, right?"

"It's up to you," Weiss replied, giving the same patient, courteous answer she'd always given. "I personally don't mind this way either. It's rather...entertaining."

When Weiss laughed - the light, happy laugh that made Ruby's heart beat loudly in her chest - Ruby shook her head and smiled. It was impossible not to be happy when spending time with Weiss, which was a new experience in and of itself. Beautiful, intelligent, kind, and generous - she was exactly the type of woman Ruby dreamed of being with. Somehow convincing someone like that to date her though? She didn't understand how she'd ever gotten so lucky.

Maybe that's why she was hesitant to tell Yang - because she didn't want to jinx this. Or she didn't want to get dumped and then have everyone feel sorry for her, while secretly thinking that Weiss was way out of her league anyway.

Considering they'd been dating for months now...maybe it was time to get over those fears.

"Well get anything you want," Ruby added, grinning at Weiss while picking up the money on the table. "Yang's paying for dinner."

"I'll remember to thank her if we ever meet," Weiss replied with another stunning smile, before her eyes flashed with excitement and delight. "I expect to continue that kiss later though."

Again, Ruby blushed. And she stared at her menu for several long seconds before clearing her throat and meeting Weiss' gaze.

"Good thing I have your number now," Ruby replied, lifting up the slip of paper and smiling when Weiss laughed.

"God, you're so cute," Weiss remarked, a few more light laughs slipping out before she turned her attention to the menu. Ruby's cheeks burned from the compliment, but...she couldn't stop smiling if someone paid her to.
