Author's Note: Would you look at that! Just under two weeks!
Cinder always found autumn to be her favourite season.
The cooler, yet not cold temperatures, the beautiful colours of the changing tree leaves, the ability to wear warmer clothing without receiving any funny looks, and finally, having yet another excuse to use Raven's bare body as a heater at night. Of course, Cinder never had to have an excuse for that, but at the same time, as the days got cooler, she might not be able to watch her partner walk around at home without pants as often, which was unfortunate. Though she could always just turn up the heat. That was sure to... solve that issue. But overall, autumn just felt more... pleasant than summer, especially when it came to the weather. The only thing that she hated- no, despised, was that every single gods damn coffee shop, café and other establishment like them were all about pumpkin spice bullshit.
Fuck everything pumpkin spice.
Well on the bright side, Cinder and Raven were finally fully moved into their new condo, and that was... a wonderful feeling. Aside from the fact that a lot of their various possessions were still in boxes. They had been procrastinating a bit with unpacking things, both owned and newly-purchased.
Over the past several weeks, the pair had received help from family and friends with bringing all the boxes and furniture from the old apartment to the new place, figuring that there was no real rush, but once that was all done, they wanted to do the actual setting up alone. The couple were planning to have everyone over - probably not all at once - after the condo was completely ready. Unfortunately, that meant the setup process was taking an exceptionally long time. Cinder and Raven had taken days to set up their new home, and they were not even done yet. So far they had done their bedroom and kitchen, for obvious reasons, and now the living area, which was basically the television area of the great room.
But moving around furniture for hours on end was exhausting, and they had gotten tired, and were now both merely lying, splayed out on the newly-bought, fuzzy carpet for the living area section of the great room, with Cinder having her head on Raven's stomach. It was not exactly the most comfortable position in the world for the younger woman, given her partner's fairly new abs, thanks to her working out with Yang, but she did not care in the slightest. Anytime she got to lie on top of Raven was a positive in her books, whether it be for sexual, romantic, or in the current case, lazy reasons. Though Cinder could always do something to change said current reason...
"Hey, Cin, what do you think of Yang and Weiss as a couple?" Raven suddenly wondered, interrupting her partner's growing-inappropriate thoughts.
Cinder turned her head to look at the older woman, brow raised. "What brought that up?"
Raven shrugged, which her partner could feel. "I dunno, just noticed we've never really talked about them. Lookin' at Yang now... seems like her life is goin' somewhere else. She's actually datin' for the first time in... ever, livin' with her ex too... Anything could happen over there, so I figured it'd be a good idea since Weiss' probably gonna end up bein' my daughter-in-law someday, and those two are gonna be step-daughters to you."
Cinder was quiet for a moment, as she truly processed what was just said. Weiss becoming Raven's daughter-in-law was of no real concern, but her and Yang becoming Cinder's step-daughters... That showed that her partner was not only serious about her, which the pair had discovered a while ago when they brought out the L word, but... it showed that she was thinking about... long-term plans... Well, that was an idea to store for later, because if she kept thinking about it, Cinder would be red as a tomato for the rest of the day. So, she cleared her throat. "I used to think Weiss needed more backbone, but whatever went down between her and Vernal during their breakup really brought it out from nowhere." Cinder explained. "Yang certainly needed a strong, well-meaning partner to push her into a better place, so everything seems to be working out, so long as Neo doesn't fuck it all up."
Raven just snorted upon hearing that last part. "You mean if Neo doesn't fuck them all up?" She asked, clearly proud of herself for that joke.
"Hilarious." Cinder deadpanned, rolling her eye. "You know that'd be your problem too, right?"
Raven shrugged again. "I plan ahead for that sorta thing now. Yang comes to me, we go out for some beers so she can bitch about it, then we find somethin' to smash up, get out all that rage." She defended, before pausing. "But didn't you two make up weeks ago? I thought everything was good."
Made up was probably a bit generous, but Cinder figured it was better than saying she was no longer going to call Neo Yang's ex-parasite. "I'm giving her a chance, Rave, and while so far she has not disappointed me, one can never be too careful when it comes to that woman." She clarified. "I for one did not change overnight. In fact I still look down on people sometimes, so I do not trust that Neo simply had sense smacked into her. It's never that simple, which means I will wait and see what happens."
Raven remained quiet for a few moments. "How exactly do you think she could fuck things up for Yang and Weiss?"
Cinder let out a sigh. "I'm worried that she'll... join their relationship somehow, and that'll cause problems between them." She admitted. "Three-person relationships are quite uncommon and can be very complicated, and Yang already has a history of abuse with Neo. Dividing time and attention equally between three people who are supposed to be dating is difficult, especially when those people have differing tastes and preferences." Not to mention when one of them used to be a psychopath.
Raven merely hummed at the explanation. "How 'bout we just go about it like moms?" She suggested with a slight grin. "Get all up in their business, make sure everything's okay, and just keep an eye on them to make sure things stay okay."
Even though her partner said that as a tease, a sudden realization hit Cinder like a brick. Being with her was a wonderful dream come true, but simply being her loving girlfriend was not the only part of their relationship. Raven had a daughter- daughters, so Cinder... might have to take her role as a motherly-type figure more seriously. She was an adult who just bought a house, and was currently talking with her partner about her new step-daughter and her girlfriend. "Ugh, I'm getting old." Cinder eventually complained.
Raven just laughed. "And yet you were still able to land a hot-ass piece like Nora as a friend with a lotta benefits."
Cinder almost laughed at that too. Even now, she still wondered why a beautiful young woman like Nora ever considered her attractive enough to not only hit on, but sleep with her, over and over again. Gods, their first time together might have been slow, gentle, emotional... but after that, that woman was like a wild animal in the bedroom, almost like Raven. Endless stamina, endless hunger. Though even outside of the bedroom, Cinder had made a lot of memories with Nora. The redhead was family, and... her saviour. But even so, that still did not explain her infatuation with her. "That girl is age blind. She sees no difference between myself, Glynda, and Vernal." Cinder scoffed.
"Not sure that's true, Cin, since she managed to start datin' Vernal." Raven countered. "'Course I am a little shocked that she went for Vernal of all people, but I guess I appreciate that someone's keepin' an eye on her."
Cinder could not help but smirk. "Oh I'm sure she does far more than keep an eye on her, Rave."
Raven gasped in response, rather overdramatically. "Are you implying my dearest Vernal is having her honour besmirched?"
Cinder chuckled at the question. "Fairly certain that happened when she started fucking Weiss in the bar's back closet."
Raven was silent for a moment. "That was Vernal doing the besmirching, doesn't count."
Cinder fully laughed. "Well she's in Nora's grasp now, so unfortunately there's no hope for her."
"My poor baby stray, stolen from my nest." Raven dramatically huffed.
"By a very devious, hungry redhead." Cinder added with a smirk.
"Oh, woe is me." Raven proclaimed.
"I for one am happy for Nora. She's clearly found someone who she believes she's good for." Cinder smiled, thinking back to how disappointed the redhead was when she had to reject her. It broke Cinder's heart to say no, so it made her just that much happier to see that her friend had found someone.
"Guess those two are an opposites attract kinda situation, like Tai and me back in the day." Raven commented.
"I believe it's more likely that Nora understands how rough Vernal has had it." Cinder corrected. "After all, she still lives in that shithole you got me out of, even after I gave her that money."
Raven was quiet for a moment. "You think she can really help Vernal outta that funk she fell into after Weiss? Or if bein' together is even good for 'em?"
Cinder turned her head to look up at her partner. "Nora helped me, didn't she? Honestly, if she hadn't been living in the same building as me, you and I would've never met. Hell, the only reason I was able to keep going was because of Nora's encouragement, because without her, I would most likely be dead."
"So what you're sayin' is I'm eventually gonna have another gorgeous gal who falls for me thanks to Nora?" Raven wondered through a slight chuckle.
"I think she's called dibs on Vernal for herself." Cinder informed, chuckling a bit herself.
"So I'm just gonna get another daughter-in-law then. Fantastic." Raven jokingly grumbled.
"Look at you, step-mom supreme." Cinder grinned up at her partner.
"Hey, they'll be your step-kids, my kids... in-laws." Raven guessed, earning another chuckle from the younger woman, before they both fell to silence, simply enjoying the feeling of lazily lying on the floor together. Cinder could just fall asleep right there... They would eventually have to get back to work on setting up the condo, but for now, they were happy to just lie there for a while. It was not until Raven slowly shifted herself out from under her partner that the peace was disturbed. Cinder opened her mouth to protest as her head was gently placed onto the fuzzy carpet, but Raven beat her to it. "Don't worry, Cin, I'll be right back." The older woman promised, pulling herself up from the floor and heading into the master bedroom, leaving Cinder to sit up and merely wait.
A couple minutes later, Raven returned with a rather nice picture frame, but it appeared to be empty. She walked over and sat back down, this time in front of her partner, holding the frame in her lap. "I uh, I secretly bought this a couple weeks back, but didn't wanna show you until we were fully moved in. Thought it would be good for... one of your pictures of Emerald." Raven explained, much to the younger woman's shock. "I didn't know how many you'd wanna put up, if any at all, but I figured at least one would be better in a nice frame, rather than just sitting loose in a box. I uh, hope you like it."
As she was handed the frame, Cinder just stared down at it, having a difficult time believing that her partner purchased it in secret. She never thought about putting up any of those photos again, especially now that she was in a relationship with someone else. So to hear that Raven wanted her to put at least one up was... surprising. Perhaps it was about time to show her what was in the box of loose pictures. Cinder opened her mouth to make the offer, but stopped, suddenly feeling a wave of dread wash over her. That same feeling that she used to get whenever she looked inside that box. Which... unfortunately told her that she was not ready to look at those photos yet. But that did not mean she could not at least tell her partner about it.
"Rave, I... I love this frame, I truly do, a-and I want to show you all the pictures of Emmy that I still own, but... I'm not sure I'm ready for that yet." Cinder nervously admitted. "I haven't looked at any of them in almost a year..."
Surprisingly, Raven just smiled, taking the frame and putting it aside, before moving in to wrap the younger woman in a hug. "No prob, show me whenever you feel up to it, Cin. There's no rush." She promised, planting a kiss on the side of her head.
"Thank you..." Cinder near-whispered, tightly reciprocating the embrace. She was going to show her soon, but gods, she loved this woman so much. It absolutely boggled her mind that she was able to land Raven as her girlfriend... or, partner... Wait a minute. That actually brought up a thought that been circling her mind for a few days. Eventually releasing the older woman, Cinder sat back up. "You know, I've been thinking recently... What are we?"
Raven furrowed her brow, clearly not quite understanding. "What do you mean? What do you think we are?"
Cinder was quiet for a few moments, pondering the question. "We... we are... I think... I think we just are." She awkwardly answered, not exactly sure what that even meant, but it was what she was going with.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Raven wondered, quirking a brow.
"I've noticed that everyone goes through these... phases, like courting, and dating, and in our case, girlfriends, and fiancés, and... I don't think we've ever talked about any of that." Cinder explained.
"So what do you think we are? 'Cause I haven't exactly done this in a while." Raven admitted with a slight chuckle.
Cinder considered her answer, wanting to be certain before she spoke. "I... think we're past girlfriends, because I feel like I've outgrown the term." She noted, realizing that she had always felt a bit odd about calling the older woman her girlfriend.
"Well we can't be fiancés, 'cause I don't see a ring on my finger." Raven added, holding up her left hand, and wiggling her fingers for emphasis.
"I only have the one... it's still spoken for." Cinder informed, unconsciously reaching up to gently grasp the burnt ring on the end of the necklace under her sweater. Not a day went by when she did not wear it around her neck, that she did not think about what could have been...
Raven warmly smiled. "Yeah I know, hun." She acknowledged, moving over so sit next to the younger woman, wrapping an arm around her shoulders to pull her close. "But if we're not girlfriends, and not fiancés, what are we?"
Cinder had to think about that. There were so many things two people that were dating could call each other. Girlfriends, partners, companions, mates, pre-spouses, better halves... Hell, they could even go with something utterly ridiculous, like mutual sufferers, because Cinder knew for an absolute fact Raven would be completely up for that. Eventually, she figured that simpler was better. "Partners?" Cinder suggested with a shrug.
Raven paused, seemingly considering the idea, before proudly nodding. "Partners it is." She agreed with a smile, reaching up with her arm to turn the younger woman's head towards her own. "Now give mama a kiss." She added, smile shifting to a grin. Cinder chuckled in response, not leaning in for a kiss, but instead, moving to raise a leg up over Raven's, shifting her position until she was fully straddling the older woman, sitting atop her thighs, wrapping her arms around her neck.
"If you insist."
It was strange for Yang to call another apartment her home after having been in her previous one since she first moved out.
Sure, she had stayed over dozens of times when she was a teenager, back when her mom had not been her mom for very long, but that was different. For the first little while, it was almost like staying over at a stranger's apartment, because that was what her mother, as well as her other two parents, felt like after having lied to her for fifteen years, but as time passed, and they grew closer, it felt more like a second home. Somewhere she was safe, loved, cared for. Though now, after so many years of their bond growing, everything was different. Her mother had moved into a new condo with her partner, Yang could not be happier for them, and their old apartment was now hers. Well, hers, Weiss' and Neo's. But the point was, things were changing for the better.
Unfortunately, some of those changes were a little on the slow side.
While Yang, Weiss and Neo had done their moving out and then in much faster than Raven and Cinder, that process took far longer than anticipated, because the latter couple felt that there was no rush, so they took their sweet time getting all of their stuff out of their now-previous apartment. But now that they were fully moved in, Yang noticed how their furniture ended up being a mix between hers and Neo's from their respective prior homes, as the mute had also fully moved out of hers. Guess it's too late to consider that roommate offer.
Overall, Neo had nicer furniture compared to Yang's, since she tended to buy more high-quality stuff, while the blonde bought most of her furniture second-hand or just inherited it from her parents. Which meant that some things were replaced, and others were added to better fill out the apartment. To start, the dining table was Yang's, previously owned by her parents, and it was relatively fancy-looking. Then for the living room, Neo owned a nicer couch, but only one, considering she used to live alone, so the trio used hers and the blonde's in order to have a complete, yet mismatched set. The mute also owned a far nicer television and entertainment centre unit, so they decided to use hers for the living room, and put the other one in the master bedroom. Of course, Neo brought her own bed, dresser, various pieces of anime merchandise, and other bedroom furniture for the spare bedroom, which was now hers. It was easy to see how happy she was to be sleeping in a proper bed again.
Cinder also bought them a few, rather expensive things, such as much higher-quality cooking supplies for Yang, a brand-spanking-new game system and several-hundred lien worth of gift cards for her and Neo, and a whopping twenty grand lien for Weiss. It was a lot to be given all at once, but both Cinder and Yang knew that Weiss had a wealthy background, and she had previously groomed for business, so she would understand how to handle that amount of money. Although, that was a concern for another day. For now, Yang and Neo were moving around the furniture in the living room... over and over again, trying to figure out how to arrange the room, under Weiss' expert direction.
Are you happy yet? Because this shit is really heavy. Neo complained via her text-to-speech, leaning against the couch that she and the blonde had just moved for the sixth or seventh time.
"As I have said before, Neo, if you're going to remain as our roommate, you must help out around here." Weiss reminded, observing the new layout of the living room with a curious gaze.
"Weiss, baby, honey, light of my life, I love you, but my arms are gonna fall off if I move this one more time." Yang groaned, flopping down on the other side of the couch with a sigh. "There's not exactly many ways this stuff can be arranged." Meanwhile, Neo was now bent over the arm of the couch they just moved, lying face-first on the cushion. Yang was only now realizing that since she was much stronger, the mute was really struggling with moving all the heavy furniture back and forth, and it definitely seemed like she needed a break. So, she opted for a topic change. "But uh, now that we're unpacked and set up and stuff, what's next to do?"
Weiss took a look around the room, frosty blue eyes lingering on a few things. "Well, we should purchase a nice rug for this room, as well as felt protectors for the couches so their feet don't scratch the floor, same for the dining table and chairs."
A realization hit Yang upon hearing that. "So you're tellin' me we're gonna have to move all this again?"
Weiss nodded. "That's correct."
Yang just groaned. "Ah damnit."
Turning over so that she was facing the ceiling, Neo silently giggled. Well, regardless of that, now that we're all moved in... She began, before the text-to-speech paused. This house is bitchin'.
Yang glanced over at the mute with a raised brow. "'Cept this isn't a house, pipsqueak."
And someone didn't understand that reference. Neo grumbled, rolling her eyes.
"I never understand your references!" Yang complained, throwing her arms up into the air, causing the other two to chuckle. That woman watched too much anime. Though that line did sound a little familiar... Perhaps it was actually from something that she had seen, like a cheesy superhero show...
Once she was calm, Weiss cleared her throat. "There is something I would like to discuss though: the money that Cinder gave us." She informed, earning a curious gaze from her girlfriend, and a set of raised, shocked eyebrows from Neo. Yang remembered that day very well. Cinder had wanted to give both of them ten thousand lien each, but the blonde refused, saying that she would not know what to do with it, or how to even handle that much. So, she had the older woman give her gift to Weiss as well, because Yang knew for an absolute fact that her amazing partner would handle it better. Plus, she could always have her be the one to buy them stuff.
"I believe that we should invest in the kitchen more." Weiss continued, to which Yang furrowed her brow. "Cinder might have bought a bunch of far-higher quality equipment for us, but I know how much you love cooking, Yang. It would be a worthwhile investment to properly renovate the kitchen, since at the moment, it's rather old and... basic, so to speak."
Yang glanced over at the kitchen, and immediately agreed with her girlfriend. The rest of the apartment was nice wood and brick, but the kitchen looked like it was ripped from a decade ago. "Yeah, it definitely needs some work, but maybe we could also redo the master bathroom, since it kinda has the same issue."
Weiss hummed, before nodding. "That it does." She agreed. "We should also touch up the apartment's main bathroom as well, then throw whatever is left into a savings account, to be used if we ever need it."
"Sounds like a plan my wo-man." Yang smiled. "But we better talk to my dad before we decide on anything, 'cause he knows how to help with that kinda stuff."
Can I get fuzzy carpet in my room? Suddenly came Neo's text-to-speech, as Neo just showed off a bright smile at the pair. I like to be barefoot, as you know from the little soft rug under my desk, but having a full room of that stuff would be like a dream come true.
Yang and Weiss shared a look, likely thinking the same thing. If the mute was going to be their permanent roommate, as she had been for the past several weeks, she deserved to have her room the way she wanted it. Although Weiss did have something extra to add. "Very well, but it will come with a rule. No eating meals in your bedroom." She declared, much to Neo's disappointment. "We let you eat at your desk at our previous apartment because it was practically right next to the kitchen table, but that will change once your room is carpeted. In fact, from now on, no meals will be consumed in either bedroom." Then Weiss turned to her girlfriend. "Which means no more breakfast in bed."
Yang felt her mouth drop open. "What? But that's my morning romantic move!"
Weiss let out a slight chuckle. "I'm aware, and I love when you cook for me, but when it's in bed it almost always makes a mess."
Yang opened her mouth to protest, but she knew her partner was right. Damnit.
Neo also seemed to be considering the offer. I think that's acceptable. She agreed with a smile, before that smile shifted to a grin. But you two young ladies better keep that bedroom door open during the day. I don't wanna see or hear any funny business when I'm trying to work.
Yang chuckled at the warning. "Yeah, says the woman who does a good chunk of her work in the late hours on the night, or I guess early hours of the morning."
"And then proceeds to sleep in until three in the afternoon." Weiss added with a smirk.
That was one time! Neo defended with a rather adorable pout. She was like Ruby in that way, with an added fourteen years... even though this woman could easily pass for her sister's age. What's for lunch? Neo asked with a sudden change in subject, shifting her position to sit properly on the couch. You finally gonna make us ramen?
Gods, she had been asking about that for days. "I think it's your turn to cook." Yang informed with a grin of her own.
You really think I wouldn't make ramen if I could? Neo questioned, though her tone did not exactly come through with the text-to-speech.
"I think you're just too lazy to actually do it." Yang commented, only receiving another pout.
You know how difficult ramen can be to make? Neo continued.
"No, it's easy, you're just lazy." Yang corrected. Sure, making ramen from scratch was hard, but most other recipes were fairly simple and straight-forward.
The recipes I looked up were difficult. Neo grumbled, her pout staying strong.
"I think someone wants you to teach her, babe." Weiss mentioned, walking over to sit down on the other couch.
Yang just stuck her hand up. "Not it, I'm busy teaching you." She shook her head.
I'm sure you can spare some time. Neo tried to assure.
Yang considered the idea, but not for long. "Between my girlfriend, my best bud, my sister and my job... nope, all booked up. Time monopolized." She informed with a shrug. It was not that she did not want to help her friend learn how to cook better, because it would be beneficial to all three of them, but her time really was pretty filled up nowadays.
Surprisingly, Neo grinned, rather slyly. Well, with some hair dye, a pair of scissors and some contact lenses, I can be your best friend, or your sister. Take your pick.
Yang quirked her brow at the... admittedly very strange offer. "Weird, but has potential. I'll keep that in mind for next Harvest." After all, that sort of disguise could always make a fun prank, whether it be on the one being impersonated, or their friends and family.
"You sure you don't want to try to replace me too?" Weiss inquired, brow raised as well.
Neo glanced over at the other woman, and... eyed her for a moment, before shaking her head. I don't have the body for it.
Weiss briefly remained silent, but smiled. "Smart answer."
"Let's just get pizza again." Yang half-interrupted. "My favourite pizza joint's havin' another twenty-for-three deal."
"They're always having a twenty-for-three deal. They send us an email every day." Weiss commented, rolling her eyes.
I know a fantastic Menagerian place. Neo suggested, raising her hand for emphasis.
"Yeah, but pizza is easier to eat." Yang countered. She could use chopsticks, but no one could deny that it was more difficult than eating with one's hands.
Maybe, but ramen tops pizza every time. Neo defended.
"You just want long things in your mouth." Yang grinned, always finding it fun to tease the older woman.
I love noodles. Sue me. Neo shrugged.
"Oh you are a noodle." Yang shot, grin still strong.
No, I'm a booble. Neo corrected with a smirk and a wink, earning two sets of rolled eyes. Now let's order ramen.
Yang let out a groan. "Ugh, fine, let's feed the booble." She finally gave in, figuring that there were definitely worse things that they could order than ramen, which admittedly was pretty good when done correctly. In response to the agreement, Neo smiled brightly, even clapping her hands a few times, which was frankly adorable, before typing out a message and turning her scroll towards the blonde. It contained no words, just a simple text emoji.
:D
Even after the past few weeks, Coco still found it a little strange to be showering in the master bathroom, especially after using the 'guest' one for so long. To be standing in the same spot that both Pyrrha and Ruby did when they were naked, at times together... Even now, it was a weird feeling.
But she tried not to think about that part.
Instead, Coco thought about... well, herself. She had spent the past year in a deep depression, drinking and smoking her life away, only bothering to begin taking care of herself when Pyrrha started babysitting her. Now... her body was recovering, and she could really feel it. Her ribs were no longer showing, her hips were not jutting out anymore, and... she could truly look at herself in the mirror without disliking what she saw. Coco actually found herself attractive again, someone who could be even remotely worthy of amazing people like Ruby and Pyrrha. People who she now found herself thinking about again. More specifically, since she was in the shower, how those two might look... without clothes on. Between Pyrrha's toned muscles and Ruby's curves, Coco was beginning to have a hard time not... acting on certain desires.
Suddenly, without any kind of knocking, the bathroom door opened, and in walked a pyjama-clad Ruby, without a care in the world, seemingly unaware that the brunette was currently showering. Coco instinctively covered her bare breasts and nether region with her hands, thinking that her partner was only coming in to grab something, until the younger woman turned toward her with a bright smile.
"Got room in there for two?" Ruby happily wondered.
Coco felt herself nod a bit, since the steamy glass box was indeed large enough for two, or even three people, but her brain was still processing what was just said. Ruby... wanted to join her in the shower? That meant... they would be naked... together... Oh my gods... As Coco's mind swam with thoughts of what might, or was about to happen, her face was likely as red as a tomato.
Meanwhile, Ruby just brightly grinned, before reaching for her T-shirt, and pulling it off, completely exposing her bare torso, which caused the brunette's eyes to widen. Then they nearly shot out of her head when the younger woman slipped off her pyjama shorts... and her underwear. Fuck. Coco had seen her in a shirt and panties plenty of times before in the past several weeks, but seeing her naked... That was really something else. While she was stuck merely staring, Ruby put her clothes next to Coco's, which were folded up on the black granite countertop, and just... jumped in, poking her partner in the shoulder and playfully sticking out her tongue as she closed the glass door, finally pulling her out of her stupor.
"A-Are you sure we should be... y'know, doin' this?" Coco hesitantly wondered, glancing down at equally-nude woman in front of her, and still not taking her hands away from her chest or crotch.
"C'mon, Coco, you're part of our thing now, you don't have to be shy about bein' naked around us." Ruby promised with a smile. "You can shake those money-makers anytime you want!"
Coco could not help but chuckle at that ridiculous second point. As fun as that sounded, she would honestly rather see the other two shake their money-makers. But even so, Coco slowly uncovered herself, lowering her hands to her sides, just before her partner reached up to gently squeeze her left breast.
"Honk." Ruby grinned, causing them both to burst out laughing, even though being touched like that by for the first time was... shocking, to say the least.
Unsure of where she got the courage, Coco immediately tried to flick the younger woman's boob right back, resulting in her squealing, wrapping her arms around herself and turning away, attempting to avoid it. So the brunette reached around, trying to pull her arms away, but after a bit of struggling, the pair just ended up laughing some more, which ended when Ruby turned around in Coco's arms, and hugging her, reminding her that they were still in fact both naked, bodies now smooshed up against each other.
"Is this okay?" Ruby wondered, tilting her head to meet her partner's eyes.
Coco barely had to think about that one... as difficult as it was to think at the current moment. She had been touch-starved for quite a long time now. Yang was great, and that night they sort of half-slept together was amazing, but unfortunately they did not work out. So having her bare body pressed so closely together with Ruby's, a woman who she had been in love with for months now, while they were showering together, completely nude... "Better than okay, Rubes. Like a dream come true." Coco admitted after a bit of silence, blush still heavy.
"Well, glad I could help." Ruby grinned, rather slyly, before leaning up to meet the brunette in a quick, yet loving kiss.
Upon separating, the pair merely stared at each other for a brief time, beautiful silver looking up into chocolate-brown, until they both leaned back in to meet in another embrace. Then another, and another, and another, each kiss lasting longer than the previous one, leading to heavier breathing. Eventually, without a single word, they decided to just throw caution to to the wind, moving in to begin a very passionate embrace. Something far more heated than any other kiss the two had ever shared. Bodies were pulled close, wet hair was ran through, tongues explored... Ruby even backed Coco into the wall after a barely a few moments, hands eagerly sliding down her body to her rear, before getting a good, firm handful. While that kind of action had snapped the brunette out of the moment before, things were already too heated for her to give a single shit.
Then Ruby moved one hand around, and her fingers brushed past the small patch of hair to make gentle contact with Coco's lower lips, not slipping inside, but still causing her hips to instinctively buck into the touch, as she let out a muffled moan against her partner's lips. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, the movement led one of Ruby's fingers to slip over her sensitive nub. In response, Coco moaned louder, moving her hips more, and squeezing the younger woman even tighter, who quickly broke the embrace.
"Oh, I'm sorry!" Ruby immediately burst, ceasing her squeezing of the older woman's rear, and drawing her fingers back. "Are you okay?"
Coco took a moment to catch her breath, as she had not experienced a touch like that, such heat in... a long time. "Yeah, yeah... I'm all good. It's just... that was a little surprising, since we've uh, never exactly gone this far before..."
Ruby tiled her head. "Was it... a good surprising... or a bad surprising?" She wondered, blush just as strong as the brunette's, silver eyes full of curiosity.
"Good, very good..." Coco promised, as she waited for her heart to stop beating so fast.
Ruby simply grinned, before leaning in to meet her partner in another heated kiss, one hand making its way back to her rear, and the other to her lower lips to explore, a little less gentle this time, just like she liked it. Although, after brief time of enjoying their passionate embrace, Coco realized that due to their position, with her back up against the cool surface of the shower wall, the younger woman was hogging all the hot water, which was starting to make her shiver a bit.
"Hey... you mind... movin' your butt a little?" Coco wondered between heavy kisses. "Gettin' a little chilly here..."
Breaking the embrace for a moment, Ruby grinned again. "Why don't you make me?" She purred, pecking her partner's lips. So, in her infinite wisdom, Coco did the only thing her pleasure-clouded mind could think of, and raised a hand, before bringing it down on Ruby's soft backside with a wet smack! It caused the younger woman to squeal again, before leaning in to stare directly into the brunette's eyes. "Harder."
With an adorable face like that, how could Coco refuse?
When the pair met for another kiss, Ruby downright attacked her partner's lips, getting even more eager with her exploration of her nether region, as Coco landed more firm smacks on her rear. The two continued like that for a time, with the shower filled with gasps and moans, until the older woman got a sort of... burst of courage, which allowed her to grab the other woman by the hips, flip them around, and pin her against the wall, earning another gasp. There was a moment where they merely stared at one another again, both of them breathing heavily, staring into each other's eyes.
"What're you gonna do to me?" Ruby wondered through lidded gaze.
Now that was the question. Coco had spent part of the last few weeks, mostly unconsciously, fantasizing about a moment like this. There were so many possibilities of what she could do. Gods, Coco wished that she had Pyrrha's strength. If she had that, she would be able to lift Ruby up with no issue and eat her out against the wall, or hold her upside down to... Well, something like that would have to be done outside of the shower, as Coco would rather not have her new partner choke on water in the middle of lovemaking. Of course, nothing said she could not just keep it simple and spend some time on her knees...
But before they could continue, someone else loudly cleared their throat, managing to draw the pair's attention away from each other. They both then turned to find Pyrrha standing just inside the bathroom, in a deep-red bathrobe, and with a hungry grin on her face. One that sent a shiver down the brunette's spine. Oh boy. Suddenly, Coco felt like she and Ruby were teenagers, and they were being caught in the act by a teacher. An incredibly sexy teacher.
"Hm, I see you two have decided to begin without me." Pyrrha noted, her grin not fading one bit, even though her tone was... intimidating. "Such a deviance much be... rectified." She declared, before slowly undoing her robe's drawstring, then dropping the garment to the floor, revealing that she was completely naked underneath, which caused the jaws of her partners to drop, the brunette's in particular. Fuck me... Those toned muscles- hell, toned body, tanned olive skin, admittedly huge breasts, shiny red hair, loose from its usual ponytail... It was all so perfect.
Slowly approaching the currently occupied shower, Pyrrha opened the glass door, and stepped inside, causing the other two to let go of one another and instinctively back up. She then looked between her two partners as the water cascaded down her hair and body, before reaching out to wrap an arm around each of their torsos, and pulling them both close into a tight embrace. They remained there for a moment, with Coco wondering what exactly Pyrrha was going to do to them, until the redhead pulled her into a passionate kiss, one that felt like that of her and Ruby earlier, far more heated than anything they had shared before. Though in this case, it was very clear that the older woman was in control, with the brunette just melting into the embrace. When Pyrrha finally pulled back, Coco was dazed, not even really noticing that her partner turned her attention to Ruby, before pulling her into an equally-passionate kiss, except with the added bonus of firmly smacking her wife's rear several times during the act, bringing out a muffled squeak with each one.
"I seem to recall us agreeing that we would have our first time with Coco together." Pyrrha chastised as she pulled back, leaving the youngest woman just as dazed as Coco, who she glanced at for a moment. "But I suppose I will have to repay you for starting without me later. In the meantime..." She began again, regaining her hungry grin as she slowly backed the other two up into the glass. "I will do my best to take care of my beautiful girls, my dearest loves..." Pyrrha decided, leaning in one more to meet Coco in a heated, yet brief kiss, before pulling back to look at her in the eyes. "You are mine, Coco Adel."
The older woman did not even have to tell her to say it back. "I'm yours." Coco nodded through a heavy blush, that was probably not going to go away anytime soon.
"Then let me show you how I treat my partners." Pyrrha grinned, leaning close to the brunette. "I promise to always take care of you, body and soul." She declared, steadily moving her hands from around their torsos, sliding them down their bodies until gently making contact with their nether regions. Then a moment later, Pyrrha slipped her fingers within, and began to harshly finger them both, causing the pair to instinctively grasp hands as pleasure quickly overtook them. "You each belong to me now. You belong, Coco. We're together, and you're loved." Her words were fare more gentle than her actions.
Meanwhile, Coco's mind was having a hard time processing... well, anything. It went between the vigorous ministrations of Pyrrha's fingers inside of her, the redhead alternating between intensely kissing them, Ruby clenching her hand for dear life, the hot water running over them, how overwhelming it all was, and how much she enjoyed every damn second of it. Coco wanted to reach out and give Pyrrha some pleasure in return, but what the older woman was already doing was overloading her brain.
It was not long before she and Ruby were both quickly brought to orgasm, each of them crying out and squeezing their eyes shut, grasping each other's hands, riding out their respective highs, shuddering, their bodies trembling as waves of pleasurable heat rushed through their beings. Coco in particular was hit hard, almost falling to the shower floor from sudden wobbly legs, only being stopped by Pyrrha's strong arm catching her. Holy fuck... If that was just her fingers, the brunette could not imagine what her tongue was going to be like...
It was truly a testament to the redhead's skill that she was able to actually finish them at practically the same time. It was no surprise that she was familiar with Ruby, considering they were married, but even with her first time with Coco, she seemingly knew exactly what to do. Pyrrha would still probably going to do her best to properly learn her new partner's tells, but given how enthusiastic she was with her fingers barely a minute ago, the brunette was going to have a lot of fun being on the receiving end of that.
"I... I love you guys..." Coco eventually managed, reaching up to wrap the other two in an admittedly weak hug, which was quickly reciprocated.
Pyrrha especially returned the hug with strength, pulling the other women close to her equally-nude body, heads resting against her ample chest. Another dream come true in the brunette's book. "I love you both so dearly." She began, her voice a bit shaky. "And I thank you for trusting me with your hearts."
Coco could not help but chuckle a bit, considering what happened a minute ago. "Pyr, I trust you with everything."
Unseen by the other two, Pyrrha smiled. "Thank you, Coco. I will keep that in mind." She noted, reaching up to tilt the brunette's head up, before leaning down to meet her in a much more gentle, yet equally loving kiss. Upon separating, the trio simply remained there for a time in the embrace, enjoying the warmth of each other's bare bodies, and the hot water cascading down them, with the only sounds to be heard were their breathing, and the shower head. "So, do you and Ruby wish to continue where you left off before I so rudely interrupted? Or am I clear to... take over?"
Coco audibly swallowed when she heard that, while Ruby looked up at her wife with a curious gaze. "You sure you don't want us to take care of you for a little while?" The latter inquired. Pyrrha only let out a warm chuckle in response, gazing down at her lovers with another hungry grin that sent a second shiver down the brunette's spine.
"That's quite generous of you, my dear, but we have all day to play. I'm far from finished with you two."
The last thing Raven expected to see when she woke up from her afternoon nap was Cinder staring down at her, and it nearly gave her a heart attack.
As expected, her partner just chuckled at her shock, plopping down on the couch as the older woman pulled herself up with a groan, trying to remember what happened before she fell asleep. Well... Raven had a rare day off, with Yang filling in for her, and since she and Cinder were finally fully set up in the condo, there was nothing for her to really do, and she ended up just napping on one of the great room couches. Now, the younger woman was sitting there grinning, and wearing... something that she had not seen in years. Low-cut, black and red kimono-like top... black skirt... black thigh-high leggings... beaded necklaces... red samurai-like gauntlets...
It... was a cosplay outfit that Raven once wore when taking Ruby to another Tekkon a number of years ago, only worn because that girl begged her to, and Summer promised it would make her so happy. Where did Cinder even find that? Hell, she did not even really remember what it was supposed to be, other than it was from some anime that her step-daughter loved, seemingly some warrior type character, given the samurai vibes she was getting from it. Of course, seeing Cinder currently wearing that outfit... It was certainly doing things for her.
Without saying a word, Cinder lifted a leg up over her partner in order to straddle her, moving up to sit atop her thighs, grin only becoming more sly as she observed the older woman's blushing reaction to the costume. "So... Is there anything that you... wish to do?"
Raven's mind was quickly short-circuiting from seeing the younger woman in that outfit, which was also adorable because of how big it was on her, but she still found an answer for that question, very easily. "Well, as much as I wanna take pictures, I'm gonna rip that off of you."
Cinder merely giggled at the arousing threat. "Your loss, except not really." She purred, beginning to arch her back in order to push out her modest chest, showing off a lacy black bra underneath the costume's top as she ran one hand up her partner's body, and lifting the skirt with a finger of the other, exposing a pair of matching lacy black panties. Grinning, Raven moved her hands to Cinder's hips, while the younger woman simply basked in her hungry gaze, continuing to arch her back, and leaning in closer as she slid her hands up her own body, stopping briefly to firmly grasp her covered breasts a couple times, before moving farther to run through her hair. Though just as Cinder started to grind her hips on her partner's, Raven's scroll buzzed from its place on the coffee table, ringing with a recognizable tune that a certain girl had programmed in herself.
Removing her hands from the younger woman's hips, Raven turned over to grab the device, almost knocking her partner off while she answered the call. "Hey, squirt, was just thinkin' about you. What's up?" She happily greeted to her step-daughter.
"Excuse me?" Cinder blurted, looking exceptionally offended as she leaned back up.
"Hi, Aunt Raven! I was just callin' to ask if it'd be cool if we host a gathering at the bar!" Ruby no-doubt brightly smiled.
"'Course you can, kiddo. We don't call it the Party Perch for nothin'." Raven agreed with a tired smile of her own.
"When have you ever called it that?" Cinder questioned, brow raised, arms crossed.
"I know I'm awesome, I have to make up for everyone else being lame." Raven countered with a grin.
"Oh, is Cinder there with you? Tell her I say hi!" Ruby excitedly beamed.
Cinder let out a heavy sigh. "Yes, hello, Ruby. You have atrocious timing." She groaned, lips curled into a very displeased frown as she straightened her costume, re-covering her lacy bra.
"Oh... oh! Are there... Are there boobs out right now?" Ruby hesitantly wondered, her voice hushed.
"Not yet, you little twerp..." Cinder downright spat, clearly incredibly annoyed.
Meanwhile, Raven was still just lying there under her partner, absolutely loving the exchange. There was nothing she wanted to do more than rip that outfit off of Cinder and completely ravish the hell out of her, possibly with a toy or two, but watching her seethe at how Ruby was interrupting her seduction - which had been quite successful up until she called - was entertaining as shit. Plus, the younger woman was cute as fuck when she was miffed. So much so that Raven might leave her like that for a little longer. "So what kinda party you thinkin', squirt?"
Ruby hummed on the other side of the call. "Oh you know, family gathering, celebration of life, love, sisterhood, brotherhood, I kinda wish I had a brother still."
While her technically-step-daughter-in-law spoke, Cinder shot an adorable pout at the scroll, merely sitting there for a moment... then smirking a bit, seemingly getting an idea. Oh joy. Shifting forward a bit, she reached down, took hold of the hem of Raven's tank top, and pulled it up over her braless breasts, before licking her lips, and starting to gently play with them, clearly trying to get her partner to break. It was similar to what the older woman herself did when Yang walked in in the middle of their first experiment in the bar's office. Unfortunately for Cinder, she could take a bit of gentle fondling, and the younger woman could see that. So, after a few squeezes, she quickly leaned down and enthusiastically got to work with her tongue, and fuck did it feel good, but Raven did her best to stay strong, biting her lip as she reached up to firmly run her free hand through Cinder's hair.
"How uh, how many people you plannin' on inviting?" Raven inquired, trying her absolute hardest to sound as normal as she could with her partner going to town on her bare chest. It was difficult as hell, but she manage, at least for the time being.
"Whole family really, and maybe some friends. I just wanna get everyone together again, it's been so long!" Ruby happily informed. Probably since Weiss' birthday, which was months ago.
"Sounds like a fun idea." Raven agreed, normally again, prompting Cinder to get fed up, and bite her right nipple. "When- ah!" She gasped, glaring down at her grinning partner, who still had yet to release it from between her teeth. "You little bitch." Raven quietly hissed.
"Did you just... call me a little bitch, Aunt Raven?" Ruby awkwardly wondered after a couple moments.
"No Rubes, you're an adorable little bitch, but that wasn't to you. Your future step-mother just bit me on the tit." Raven explained, glancing down at Cinder again, who playfully flicked out her tongue.
"Uh... Should I call back?" Ruby asked, clearly a tad uncomfortable.
"Nah, she's just moody, I can take it." Raven assured, much to the disappointment of her partner.
"I uh... okay..." Ruby hesitantly accepted.
"When'd you wanna have this thing?" Raven wondered, admittedly getting a little excited at the idea of having another family party, mostly because she would properly have Cinder there with her this time. Though thinking of which, while the older woman was talking, her partner pouted even harder, which was so fucking adorable, before starting to shift down her body until she was sitting on her shins, hooking and dragging her sweat pants down with her, exposing her boring black underwear. Cinder then leaned down, and began trailing kisses along the inside of her thigh, slowly inching towards her crotch, causing Raven to bite her lip again. Sure, she could handle a little tongue action on her breasts, if only barely, but there was no way in hell she would be able to keep a straight face if she was eaten out.
"Maybe in a couple weeks or... or somethin', make sure everyone's free..." Ruby suggested after a brief pause.
"So, no strippers?" Raven jokingly wondered with a grin.
"This isn't gonna be a bachelorette party, Aunt Raven." Ruby refused, probably rolling her eyes too.
"Well someone needs to get married again so we can have one." Raven added. Though, thanks to her wonderfully-sexy partner, she did not exactly need to have a stripper around in order to get a lap dance or striptease anymore.
"I don't see a ring on your finger yet." Ruby informed with a chuckle.
Raven was quite glad that Cinder was occupied, because the very mention of them getting... married, caused a deep blush to tint her cheeks. She had never really thought about taking that step with anyone... But Raven shook that thought away for now, as it was something to consider another day. "Mmm, expensive. Plus we need to milk that whole old lesbians thing for a while." She eventually managed to counter.
"Can still do that if you're hitched, Aunt Raven." Ruby pressed, causing the blush on her step-mother's cheeks to deepen even further.
"Not the same Rubes, lacks the mng... charm." Raven shook her head, but unable to stop the noise that escaped mid-sentence, brought out by Cinder biting her thigh while teasing her underwear with one finger. It prompted the older woman to grin down at her again. Gods, the moment Raven was done this call...
"Y'know what... I think I'm just gonna call back in... let's say an hour. Gives you time to... finish up." Ruby very-awkwardly offered.
Raven just let out a chuckle at the coincidence. "Alright, hon, you do that." She accepted. "Love ya."
"Have fun!" Ruby beamed, likely by instinct, given what exactly it was implying.
"Oh I will." Raven grinned, reaching down to run a hand through her partner's hair.
Surprisingly, Ruby laughed at her step-mother's response, but it quickly died out. "Gross..." She admitted with a small groan. "Love you! Bye!"
By the time Raven hung up, the younger woman was pulling her underwear down her legs, exposing her slightly wet nether region. "It's about time." Cinder grumbled, fully removing her partner's shorts and underwear before tossing them aside. "I cannot believe that you interrupted this to speak with your step-daughter over a call." She continued, rolling her eye. "You are such a mom." Raven just laughed at what she considered to be a compliment.
"Ah, shut up and kiss me."
