The very next day, the pair of Ruby and Nora had driven to an apartment of someone that Nora said "could help Ruby out of her comfort zone."
When in front of the door Nora knocked on it and as the door opened a figure stepped out. A tall dark haired woman with cat ears, wearing black sweatpants and a black tank top and white jacket.
"Blakey" Nora yelled happily as she enveloped the woman into an almost spine crushing hug which she reciprocated. "Nice to see you again Nora" the woman with cat ears replied.
As they released from the hug Nora turned to Ruby "Rubes this is Blake, a good friend of mine, Blake this is the girl I talked about the one who could use your help."
Blake extended a hand with a smile "nice to meet you Ruby, Nora has told me a lot about you" she said as Ruby shook her hand "nice to meet you Blake."
"Come inside" Blake said as she allowed the woman inside of her home, the two girls moved to the living room, which was big and filled with lots of paintings and many bookshelves and two big couches in the living room. Ruby nervously sat down on one with Nora joined her by her side as Blake sat down on the one before them.
"So Ruby, Nora tells me you're dealing with something that I can help you with it? What is it?" Blake asked politely.
"Well uhm…you see…it's…" Ruby stumbled.
"She's got the hots for her sister's boyfriend and wants to bang him" Nora blurted out, causing a shocked Ruby to voice her protest "no I don't that's not what I want I just…uhm…well…"
Blake raised her hand in response "no judgment here girl I've heard weirder stories so tell me how long have you been dealing with this."
Ruby breathed in and started telling her story.
"Well my sister has been dating this guy for the last six months and….I just can't stop thinking about him. Everytime I see them together I feel conflicted, I want to be happy for them but at the same time I…I.."
"Spit it out" Blake said.
"I want him to be mine!" Ruby cried out.
"Yang is better than me at everything. Taller, with more curves, bigger boobs and well….just about everything. She gets all the guys attention and…I just wish he would notice me for a change, that I could be just as gorgeous as her" Ruby solemnly finished holding her head down.
"Hmmm" Blake nodded as she mulled over everything that the silver haired girl had just told her. Her eyes locked with Nora and she nodded as well, seeming to confirm Ruby's story.
"Hey it's okay," Blake said as she softly took hold of Ruby's hands "I get feeling this way, like you always compare yourself to others but don't worry I will help you out no worries."
"You will?" Ruby asked softly now looking straight into Blake's eyes.
"Of course. We will find a way to make you feel better and stronger about yourself so you can realize your desires."
"Yes and I will support you without any form of distraction or…" Nora stopped in her tracks as they all heard the door open and they turned around to see a man walk through it, dressed in black with spiky red hair and what seemed to be two short horns on the side of his head.
"Hey sweety, I didn't know you had visitors" the man said as he walked over to Blake and kissed her. "That's okay babe this is Nora's friend Ruby she has asked me to help her with something. Ruby this is my boyfriend Adam."
Adam extended his hand to Ruby, who happily shook it "nice to meet you Ruby, welcome to our place," he said before turning to Nora "also Nora it's been a while."
As Ruby turned to Nora she could almost see the water drip from Nora's lips as she looked at Adam with what Ruby could only describe as increasingly hungry eyes.
"Uhm Nora are you alright?" Ruby asked but before she got an answer Nora scooted over to Blake and asked "Blake do you mind if I…you know…borrow him for a bit" she said pointing to Adam, who turned to her in surprise.
Blake shrugged her shoulders "sure, babe are you okay with that?" she said turning to Adam.
"Uhm yeah but can I at least get a shower first" Adam replied.
"Great then we can shower together" Nora replied happily as she grabbed Adam by the collar and immediately pulled him away to a door presumably leading to the bathroom. Leaving an unsurprised Blake and a dumbfounded Ruby behind.
"Did she…are they?" Ruby mumbled out as she turned to Blake who just nodded and replied with a "yes they are."
"But….she and Ren….is she cheating on him?" Ruby asked thoroughly confused.
"No, Ren knows about this, he's okay with it" Blake replied casually, seemingly not bothered at all by what had just occurred.
Ruby's head was spinning as she tried to comprehend what her friend had just done, especially as she heard a shower turn on and an ecstatic Nora screaming in happiness "oooh I missed this, come here big guy!"
"I assume she has never told you?" Blake suddenly said. Ruby turned to her now in complete confusion "told me what?"
Blake smiled as she made herself comfortable on the couch.
"Well you know how Nora can be a bit well…wild," Blake started to which Ruby nodded in response "well the thing is Ren is often so swamped with his studies and his work that he often doesn't have time to satisfy Nora's needs and well…me and Adam are in an open relationship so occasionally when Ren is too busy she asks me if it's okay she can well…you know with Adam."
"And you're okay with that?" Ruby asked.
Blake nodded "I've been with Adam since I was fifteen, I thrust him more than anything and I trust Nora. As long as they are safe about it and tell me about it I don't really have a problem with it."
Ruby took a minute to register all the information she had been given. She always knew Ren and Nora as the power couple, they had been together for so long and she never imagined Nora would want anyone else but him but apparently she did. Then again the fact that Ren trusted her enough to always come back to him, it made Ruby wish for something similar.
"But enough about them. You came here because you need my help so I will ask you for certain. Are you sure you want to go through with this?" Blake asked.
Ruby nodded "yes I am certain."
"Great come with me, Nora told me you bought something yesterday, did you bring that" Blake said as she stood up. "Yes I did" Ruby replied, thinking back on the lingerie that Nora made her buy.
"OOOOOHHH YES DADDY DO IT HARDER" the pair heard yell from the bathroom. Ruby blushed bright red and stood momentarily still until Blake took her hand "yeah she can be kind of loud" she said, to which Ruby responded with "I knew that but I had no idea she was this loud."
Blake led her to the nearest room. Opening Ruby entered and saw a giant king size bed against the wall "this is my bedroom, don't worry we have all the privacy here" Blake said as she closed the door behind her.
"Okay…what are we going to do?" Ruby asked nervously.
"Raise your confidence a bit. You see to get a guy's attention you need more than just a sexy body, you need the confidence to match it" Blake said as she sat down on the bed, Ruby remaining standing before her.
"Yeah but even if I had the confidence I don't have the body to match" Ruby said as she put her backpack down on the ground.
Blake smiled "Ruby, not every guy is attracted to the same type of features, and even women with smaller features can rock confidence that even the conventionally attractive lack. It's all about being comfortable with yourself. So put on what you bought."
"What….you mean right here?" Ruby stuttered, her eyes darting all over the place.
"Yes right here now don't make me repeat myself" Blake said in response, crossing her legs on the bed. "Uhm okay…" Ruby unzipped her backpack and pulled out the red and black lingerie set Nora and her bought the day before, holding it up to Blake.
"Very good now put it on" she said.
"Uhm yeah…could you turn around perhaps I'm….kind of nervous" Ruby said fumbling with the sexy article of clothing in her hands.
"Ruby we are all woman here, don't worry so much I don't bite" Blake said firmly and Ruby sighed as she proceeded to slowly undress herself.
Blake observed her silently as each article of clothing was removed, as soon as Ruby was completely naked and putting on the lingerie Blake finally spoke.
"You seem to be about a C-cup right? No need to be insecure about that, perfectly normal breast size" she said.
"Yeah but my sister is almost rocking Double D's so compared to that…" Ruby started as she finished changing "and the future back pain that comes with that as well" Blake finished as she finally stood up, spinning Ruby around to look into the mirror behind her.
"The fact that you're willing to be here, put this on and try it shows to me you have the confidence it takes, it's just buried under a heap of insecurities. That's what we are going to have to dig and push through" Blake said as she stood behind Ruby who was looking at herself in the mirror, almost feeling like she was looking at someone completely different.
"But how?" she curiously asked.
Blake's arm glided softly over Ruby's back, making the girl shiver from the cold hand. "There are many ways, stay here for a second" Blake said before she left the bedroom, leaving Ruby alone to observe and look at herself, taking in the full view of herself.
