Chapter 35
Ruby's eyes drifted open. The morning sun was viciously shining through the few-centimetre gap in the drapes from across the room, directly onto her face. She squinted in the bright beam of pain, her arms trying to support her as she went to sit up. Something was out of place, but she couldn't quite figure it out yet as her brain began the slow process of rebooting. She ran a mental tally. Pyjamas, check. Hotel room, check. Scroll and wallet on the bedside table, check. It finally clicked in her mind.
Where's my girlfriend?
Ruby was confused. She vaguely remembered falling asleep on the girl's chest, soothed by the gentle sound of her heartbeat, likely only an hour or so prior. She looked down at what she had been cuddling, to find one of Weiss's travelling stuffed animals, this time a light brown teddy bear wearing an SDC branded bow tie. He was very cute, she imagined, smiling. Her ears were the next sense to come back to working order, and they promptly alerted her to the sound of an electric toothbrush coming from the bathroom not three metres away. She let out a soft sigh.
Wait, why am I in pyjamas? Didn't I fall asleep naked?
Her questions were cut short by the sound of the bathroom door opening. A very sleepy and dishevelled-looking Weiss strolled back out into the room. Ruby turned a little pink at the sight. She was very attractive, clad only in the unbuttoned flannel pyjama top, her ice-blue panties, and a set of rimless glasses. Ruby rubbed her eyes and yawned.
"Why'm I wearing pyjamas?"
Weiss turned her head to look over, a little distracted by stuffing her toothbrush back into her bag.
"Well..." she spoke, placing her hands on her lower back and stretching "...I woke up a while ago and it was very cold in here. You were shivering, so I found your pj's and got you back into them. You're an exceptionally heavy sleeper, you know."
Ruby looked at her and grinned. What a lovely person, caring for others before herself, she thought. The sunlight glinted off her glasses.
Whoa, wait a second. Something's not right here.
Weiss gave her a soft smile, striding over to her and dropping down onto the bed. Ruby giggled as Weiss placed a soft kiss on her cheek, brushing her long white hair back behind her ear in just the way she liked. The glasses brushed against her cheek. Ruby's likely still-sleeping brain finally caught up to the world. She gave Weiss a puzzled yet enamoured look.
"You wear glasses?"
Weiss chuckled at her, placing another kiss on her, this time on her nose.
"Good morning sleepyhead, I'm glad your brain has woken up. Yes, I do in the morning so I don't have to put my contacts in before my coffee."
Ruby was still puzzled. She swung her legs over the side of the bed and groggily tried to stand up, only for her muscles to collapse and force her back down. Weiss gave her an amused smile, and Ruby couldn't help but smile back, blushing a little. The sharp morning sunlight that was invading their little room was reflecting off Weiss's spectacles in a very cinematic way, Ruby thought.
"You wear contacts?"
Weiss shrugged. "Only when I'm driving. I made the mistake of leaving them in for the last three days, so my eyes are still a little sore. Why, do you like them?"
So you're keeping those on? Good.
Ruby mumbled out an answer in the affirmative, turning a little red in the face. Damn Weiss and her ability to be spectacularly attractive without any makeup on! It just wasn't fair! Although, judging by the way that she was eyeing her at the moment, perhaps it was fair. Ruby felt a little bashful at the idea that she was attractive to somebody, especially to Weiss. Said girl stood up off the bed and glided soundlessly over to one of her suitcases, fiddling with the gold-plated latches for a second. Ruby watched, still mostly asleep. She loved her friend so dearly. Who else would turn down sex to try and fix an underlying issue? Just Weiss, that's who. Weiss gave her a sultry look over her shoulder, before grabbing a handful of clothes and walking towards the bathroom again. Ruby piped up.
"Wait, where're you going?"
Weiss stopped mid stride, turning and hiding the bundle of clothes behind her back. The action of turning caused the unbuttoned shirt to briefly fly open, exposing two things Ruby wasn't expecting to see so early in the morning. Her eyes glazed over for a moment, distracted. Weiss cocked an eyebrow.
"Did you want to watch?"
Ruby nodded vigorously. Weiss chuckled at her.
Again with that! Why you gotta be so mean?
"Too bad" she said with a wink, striding back over and into the bathroom, the door clicking shut behind her.
OY!
Ruby was now alone again, sitting on the edge of the bed, stuffed bear in hand. The world was still coming into focus, and her head was still swimming a little. She checked the clock, Nine in the morning. What did that mean? What does "nine" represent? Something about the position of the moon? Nah. Ruby yawned again, slumping her shoulders forward. Weiss had left her alone again. In her morning-tired state, she couldn't figure out if she should feel sad about this. She tried to get up again, this time succeeding. She dragged her feet over to where she had thrown her bag against the wall, and digging through it, she pulled out her favourite black jeans and her red hoodie. She frowned, as the hoodie smelled a bit musky. She knew she should have washed it before they left.
Oh well.
She stuck the hoodie back into the bag, and pulled out a simple white button-up, likely the only 'girly' thing she had brought. It would be flattering, of course, and with the well-fitting jeans, she imagined Weiss might think she actually had taste, for once. She slid off her pyjama pants, only to find that she was actually wearing underwear. She checked under her shirt as well.
Bra, too? And it's even adjusted correctly? Wow, I am a heavy sleeper.
She shrugged, raising an eyebrow. Lucky for her, Weiss had managed to find the clean underwear she had packed and put them on her. Ruby pulled on the pants, struggling a little to get them over her wide-set hips. She pulled off her tank top, and stood up again from where she had sat down. Strolling over to the window, still sans-chemise, Ruby took a moment to look out over the courtyard below. Nobody was outside, and the air looked suspiciously calm. She furrowed her brow, turning back around and walking over to the TV stand, grabbing her blouse on the way. Clicking the flat-screen and flipping through the channels, Ruby sat down on the edge of her bed, tossing on the shirt.
"...derate winds later today, calm this morning. You should expect a few scattered flurries in the late afternoon, temperatures dropping down to a brisk minus thirty-five. Current temperature is a calm minus twenty-six all across the Saxony region, so if you're heading outside, remember to bundle up..."
Ruby stopped buttoning up her blouse, turning her eyes back over to the window. She wasn't fully listening to the weather report, but she had heard 'minus' and 'twenty-six'. Today was definitely heavy coat weather. She grumbled to herself as she remembered that her winter jacket was still in the truck, which was likely frozen by now. The bathroom door creaked silently open, drawing her attention over to it. She wasn't expecting what stepped out.
"Hello, professor..."
Ruby's brain shut off. She had caught a glimpse of the clothes Weiss had smuggled into the bathroom and seen a hint of red plaid. At that moment, she had thought nothing of it as Weiss on occasion actually wore plaid shirts, and once she had even worn a fully plaid suit just to mess with some board members on April Fool's Day. But this was something different. Her eyes were drawn down to the skirt first, red, plaid and as short as was allowed by the school's rules. Then there was the white blouse, which seemed to be a few sizes too small on purpose, with the ribbon tied under the collar in just the right way. And finally, that jacket. Ruby couldn't speak. That freaking gold trimmed jacket! Her mouth watered. This was a new level of not fair. Weiss sauntered over, her hips sashaying under the loose short skirt.
"I seem to be a little late on my assignment, and I really don't want to miss any grades..."
Ruby opened her mouth to speak, but no recognizable words came out, just noises.
Aroused noises.
Weiss dropped herself into Ruby's lap and slung her arms around her neck, giving her a seductive pout. Ruby's mind was like an air-raid siren, screaming for her to kiss this sultry schoolgirl. Her hands rose up to grasp the girl around the midsection. Her face leaned up to her friend's, who leaned down to match. Ruby's heart rate didn't just quicken, it exploded. Her breathing was now very heavy, and she could feel the heat from Weiss's mouth. But, at the last gods-damn second, Weiss pulled back and jumped off her lap, giving her a sly smile.
WHAT THE FUCK
"Like what you see? I kept it because I remembered how much you like it."
FUCK
"It was a little difficult to get Miss Goodwitch to let me keep it, but I was convincing enough" the vixen said, twirling in place. The skirt flared up a bit as she did, revealing a little more that a hint of posterior. Ruby felt a pang in her chest. Anger. Weiss had dared to deny her a kiss, especially one where she was dressed as her secret...well, fetish. Ruby hated that Weiss had remembered that, seeing as she didn't get to actually do anything about it.
"Ruby like!"
Her hand shot to her mouth. She hadn't expected to blurt that out, her face now becoming a violent shade of red. Why? Did her brain have to always do this? Weiss covered her mouth and giggled at her, striding forward and straddling her hips on the edge of the bed. Her body was now dangerously close, and Ruby so desperately wanted to ravage this cruel person. Her voice was sweet and quiet, whispering almost.
"If Ruby likes, then Ruby should take..."
That was the point that she snapped. Her brain woke up like a bomb going off, all of her senses focusing themselves on the girl in front of her like lasers. Her hands cruised around to her back, pulling her as close as she physically could. There lips met.
Wait, that's not right.
Their lips collided. Ruby needed her fix. She needed it. There was a fire at her lips. However passionately she tried to kiss her friend, her endeavours were returned with the exact same passion. Clearly, Weiss wanted it too. Ruby's heart yearned for more. Her hands found their way down to Weiss's exposed, porcelain legs, her palms gripping themselves under the toned calves. She hoisted her upwards effortlessly, exciting a quiet shriek from within the white-haired schoolgirl's mouth, which was still firmly planted on her own. Weiss's legs found their way around her back, Ruby's hands supporting her posterior as she forced the girl up against the wall, which shook from the impact. The force of the collision coupled with Weiss's wanton grasping knocked a lamp off the table next to them. Ruby didn't flinch. She didn't dare separate. It felt too damn good. Weiss's hands were running up and down her back, her nails nearly digging through her crisp white blouse, dragging aggressive circles against her back. Her heart pounded, nails digging into the soft flesh of her friend's thighs. I'm losing control, she thought, willingly letting herself continue this forward charge into unknown territory. One hand slid itself up the thigh, underneath the plaid mini-skirt, her fingers slipping up under the cuff of her underpants to feel the soft skin beneath. The forbidden skin. She could feel Weiss's mouth contort into a smile, their lips and tongues still intertwined. There was a burning sensation in her chest.
Hey. Genius. Remember that stuff called air? Yeah, you need some.
Ruby pulled off, gasping for breath. Her lover's mouth hung open, and very demanding laughter escaped from it, biting her lower lip. Ruby let her chest rise and fall with sufficient force, not yet daring to make eye contact. She looked up. The glowing baby-blue eyes of her friend were extremely dilated, a lustful look emanating from deep within. She considered their position, giggled slightly, and slowly released Weiss, letting her stand on her own two feet again. She backed away a bit, keeping her hands on her friend's hips, a sheepish smile coming to her face. She had never been so forward before.
"Sorry..."
Weiss's nostrils flared.
"Why are you sorry? That was excellent..."
Ruby blushed, turning her face away and letting go. She stepped away and walked back over to her bed, finishing buttoning up her blouse all the way up. Weiss slumped her back against the wall and caressed her own lip, a wicked grin coming to her face. Ruby internally was fuming at the girl's seemingly innate ability to turn her way too far on. She had never acted out like that before, it had been such a rush. She shivered. What if...
...That's what it felt like for him.
Oh no. Not again. Losing control was one thing she was okay with, especially when it came to combat, but this was different. She couldn't be like him, just taking whatever she wanted. Why did Weiss seem excited by it? Is that normal? No, it certainly couldn't be. She shook her head to try and get rid of the thoughts, but they persisted. She hung her head and collapsed into the bed, tears forming. Could she take no pleasure in anything anymore?
The bedding rustled next to her as her victim sat down very quickly. Arms found their way around her, and a soft voice whispered in her ear that everything was alright. Ruby sniffed, trying to sit up straight. She felt like she had overstepped some boundary. Something grabbed her jaw and spun her face around, but she didn't dare open her eyes, lest the tears flow.
"Ruby, look at me."
She warily opened her eyes. Weiss was very close to her face, expression stern, but still caring.
"I know what you are thinking. I asked you to. I'm going to ask you to do that again in the future. Everything is fine, now."
She didn't know what to say. Everything was fine?
"If you think you have to apologize or make it up to me, you don't."
But I...
"I mean, you could buy me breakfast. And maybe kiss me like that again later."
All of Ruby's worries were swept away again as the white-haired vixen once again leaned in and placed a much softer and much sweeter kiss on her lips. There was no more angst. It had all been replaced by a new feeling, one she needed. A feeling where he was no longer important, where Weiss kissed her and loved her properly, and where she was allowed to have a reasonable relationship with someone who actually mattered. A feeling, she liked.
Bliss.
Chapter 36
Back down in the lobby, Weiss let her girlfriend fetch the keys to her truck. She knew that it wouldn't have been a problem if she had done it, seeing as she owned the entire hotel, she just didn't feel like yelling at anyone today, especially not any valets or bellhops. A warm smile came to her face as she remembered the expression of sheer terror that the homophobic man had given her yesterday when she had hoisted him from the ground with one hand and mutilated him with just her voice. A text from her PA that morning had confirmed that their "aggressive proposition" had worked, and that a formal apology would be coming to her soon, and that their night would be paid for in full, so Ruby could have her six-hundred lien back. Jeez that room had been expensive. Her attention was drawn back over to Ruby, who was bouncing back over to where she had sat down for a second.
Yes, bouncing is definitely the operative word here. Yowza.
She shook her head and tried to get the images of her friend's chest out of her head. It was much too early in the morning to be a pervert. There had already been a nearly x-rated encounter, there didn't need to be another one here in the lobby. She stood up and grabbed the pull handles of her two expensive suitcases and followed the bubbly brunette over to the exit, waving goodbye to the desk clerk as she strode past. As she turned her eyes forward, she couldn't help but notice the action of Ruby's hips as they seemed to sway like a pendulum.
A sexy, sexy pendulum. Damn those pants fit you well.
Weiss swallowed hard. Welp, back to our regularly scheduled program. They made it out to the truck, which was waiting patiently for them, it's enormous engine rumbling quietly. Weiss noticed that it seemed to be idling slightly lower than it had been yesterday, caused likely by the increase in primary carburetor jet size changing the fuel mixture. Enough of that, her mind chastised as they made their way around to the back of the large red SUV. It was spotlessly clean, of course, the hinges on the tire carrier and glass hatch moving smoothly and silently as they had certainly been oiled as well. She smiled. Ruby's truck had been given such a pampering, more so than it had ever been. The truck's owner seemed giddy, which made Weiss smile even more.
They climbed up into the meticulously cleaned and vacuumed cabin, which smelled like a mix between fresh flowers and old hot rods. A good smell, Weiss affirmed. She looked around the interior. There were no candy wrappers, the seat fabric was no longer stressed and ripped, the wood panelling on the dashboard was varnished within an inch of it's life. She looked over at Ruby, concerned that her friend would accuse her of going over the top. On the contrary, she seemed excited, judging by her tone of voice.
"Look at all this! It's like new in here!"
Weiss chuckled. A common thing for her now, it seemed.
"You know, I only requested that they fix the high idle problem, not do a ground-up restoration on it."
Ruby bounced up and down on the bench seat, squealing with joy.
"But I like it! It's never been this clean before!"
Weiss sighed contentedly. Ruby was happy and that's all that mattered. Ruby put her truck in gear, and rolled them out onto the road again. The big engine sang it's guttural song as she stuck the accelerator down, pulling them down the road with all the smoothness of a rubber band. The low growl soothed her, a gentle reminder that all bad things come to an end in here. Ruby was back in her truck, smiling like an idiot, completely oblivious to the previous night's terrors. This could be her happy place, Weiss guessed. The way that the jumpy girl seemed to be behaving was indicative of a reasonably vast change in attitude from the morning, like something that she had done had clicked in Ruby's head, ridding her of the anxiety he brought her. That didn't matter anymore.
All that matters is my darling Ruby. She's happy now.
They descended the mountain, the sweeping snow-covered corners effortlessly dealt with by the aggressive snow tires. Weiss leaned her back against the door and turned her body to face her friend, smiling as she watched her focus intently on not spinning out or crashing off the pass. Under the focused and furrowed expression, Weiss could see hints of excitement in Ruby's sparkling silver eyes. She was enjoying driving down the snow-covered pass, and turning to look out the enormous windshield, Weiss suddenly figured out why. It looked like a rally stage. An idea came to her. She knew Ruby liked driving fast and all things related to that subject, evident from the number of car posters and racing video games strewn about her room back at the little bungalow. Driving made her happy. It was time to make her even more happy.
"Hey Rubes..." she said, gesturing towards the digital clock, displayed on the aftermarket stereo. It read nine-fifty.
"If you can get us to the bottom of the pass before ten, I'll buy you lunch when we get to Frühlingdorf. If you don't, well I guess I'll have to change out of this skirt."
Ruby's head whipped sideways, a betrayed look upon her face. Weiss grinned at her, feeling content that Ruby liked seeing her in the old school uniform. Without breaking her glare, Ruby reached down to the transfer-case lever on the floor and kicked it out of four-wheel-drive. The whole truck seemed to vibrate in anticipation. This may have been a mistake, she thought to herself, turning forward again in her seat.
"Is that a challenge?"
I regret this decision.
"Put on the hurt, my little Rose-Petal"
Oh no.
Ruby's glare became a sinister smile as she turned her attention back to the snowy road in front. She slammed the gear lever all the way down into first and booted the accelerator. The engine exploded into a cacophony of sound, like a dragon roaring directly in her face, as every single one of the motor's four-hundred and fifty cubic inches detonated at the same time. The three carburetors howled like a pack of beowolves as they sucked countless gallons of air into the cylinders. The rear tires unhooked from the snowy surface and slipped sideways under the onslaught of torque. Weiss shrieked excitedly as they barrelled towards the corner, still sideways. Her driver didn't flinch. She didn't brake. A quick left-right dash at the wheel put the truck fully sideways, the engine opening up and breathing deep. Weiss looked over at Ruby, who had an almost distracted expression on her face. She turned the wheel all the way over to the right, counter-steering against the lazy but loud drift she had initiated. Quick jabs at the skinny pedal with her foot kept the truck perfectly angled going around the corner. Her left knee came up to the bottom of the old wooden steering wheel, holding it in place. Her hands came away from the wheel and went to the buttons on her shirt.
Whoa, hang on. What does she think she's doing?
Weiss looked up at Ruby's face, which was still looking through the windshield, thank heavens, and the long sweeping corner showed no signs of ending. Weiss closed her eyes in fear. Ruby had taken her hands from the wheel? Did she want to crash?
"Hey, Weiss! Look at my boobs!"
Weiss looked.
WHAT THE HELL, RUBY?!
Her face went red. Ruby had kept the truck sliding around the corner with her knee, whilst simultaneously unbuttoning her shirt to expose herself. She had turned her body slightly sideways on the bench, displaying her ample chest and ignoring the road. Weiss's brain had stopped working again. This girl was going to give her an aneurysm, she was sure of it. Ruby grabbed the wheel with her left hand and swapped feet, placing her left one on the accelerator as she actually undid her seat belt and slid sideways on the bench seat, pressing her chest up against Weiss's arm.
"I can do this all day, Weiss-Cream. You owe me lunch, I believe."
She slid back over and ended the long slow drift at corner exit, continuing down the road. Weiss grumbled to herself, but slid over to Ruby's side and started to re-button Ruby's blouse back up. She ignored the speed that Ruby was achieving going down the pass, mildly annoyed at her unreasonable skill at handling the large, unruly truck in the slippery conditions. A soft kiss was placed on her head, making her smile warmly, despite the annoyance of a person who had given it. She knew Ruby was a good driver, of course, but this was a little much. She leaned herself back to an upright position to look at her girlfriend. She wanted to frown at her, but she found herself unable. Ruby was much too cute.
Show off.
Chapter 37
"Sho..." she said, mouth full of doughnut "What's the scariest Grimm you've come across?"
Ruby shuddered in her seat, taking a bite of her own doughnut to try and quell the memory. They were sitting in the parking lot of a small drive-through coffee shop, snow falling gently around them.
"Ugh, we don't even have a name for it. It was this giant horse-looking thing with weird stretchy arms. A real nightmare to take down. Squad commander just listed it as FUT dash one on the post-mission brief."
Weiss cocked her eyebrow, looking over. Ruby wanted to giggle at the small amount of chocolate that had collected in the corner of her mouth, but that would ruin the serious tone she was trying to achieve.
"FUT?"
"Fucked-Up-Thing. It's unofficial name on all recent documents has been "Nuckelavee". Some North-Valean legend about a skinless horseman, or something, I dunno, it's been a while since we killed it and no more have shown up, so Squad Commander thinks it was a one-time thing."
She watched as Weiss pondered this creature, mouth agape. Ruby took a sip of her drink, which she recognized as cheap coffee. Yes, it sucked, but they needed the caffeine for the ten hours of driving they would be doing.
"What did it look like?"
Ruby grimaced.
"About fifteen feet tall, black as the night, skeletal. It's horse-body-bit-thing had what looked like a rider glued on it's back, which was similarly skeletal, with these haunting rubbery arms and an almost human-looking face."
Weiss looked horrified, as she should. It had been horrifying.
"It wasn't that big of a threat, as it turns out. I was with the best strike team on Remnant, after all"
"Who was on your team?"
Ruby smiled. As hard as it was being a huntress, it always helped when she was with her Alpha Squad.
"Well, there's me, obviously, Agent Red, scout first class, Agent Mulan, tactics and espionage, Agent Thor, grenadier first class, demolitions, and Squad Commander, Agent Beaufort."
Weiss scrunched up her face.
"Those names seem awfully familiar, Ruby. Mulan? Thor? Beaufort? By any chance would that be Ren and Nora?"
"Ding ding ding! Ten points to the pretty girl in the front row!"
"And who was Agent Beaufort? That name has no connection for me."
"You remember Cardin?"
Ruby giggled as she watched Weiss's eyes widen, and her mouth twist into a frown.
"Before you go ballistic, he's actually a great guy and a fantastic commander, he's not a bully anymore."
Weiss was silent for a second before blurting out a few obscenities.
"But all that bullshit he did to Velvet? What the fuck was all that, then?!"
"Clever acting to keep his racist team in check. Did you not go to their wedding?"
Weiss's mouth hung open, still angry.
"They got married?!"
Ruby laughed at her friend, who was making way too big a deal out of this.
"I just don't...but he was...h-how did... what the fuck?"
"Yep."
Weiss's shoulders fell back against the seat, and a confused expression across her face. Ruby explained that during the fall of Beacon, he had saved her life more than once, finally allowing himself to be honest with her and admit his feelings after his team was killed. She also explained that Coco did in fact try to kill him at his own wedding, which was a fantastic spectacle to watch in itself. He wasn't the bad guy, after all. He was charming and polite, and he made probably the best miniature cakes that she had ever eaten, likely one of the reasons Velvet had fallen for him. Ruby explained that Cardin would be retiring from active duty soon, and that he and Velvet had plans to move away to mistral and open a coffee shop together. She affirmed to Weiss that they were an odd couple.
"I still don't understand what she sees in him, Ruby."
"Love, ah, finds a way."
Weiss chuckled. Ruby calculated that Weiss did this too much.
"Were you even born when that movie came out?"
"I was not. Although dad took me and Yang to see the second one when it came out."
Weiss turned in her chair, taking a sip of her drink.
"And I bet you were adorable. So what are Ren and Nora like when they're together, like when you guys are out in the wild?"
Ruby laughed out loud, almost spilling her drink on the freshly-cleaned seat.
"Holy cow, you don't want to know. Cardin and I spent many night awake, patrolling because we couldn't stand the sounds of the two of them having loud sex. I lost so much sleep on that mission because of them. When Cardin questioned them as to what they were doing, Ren simply said they were having a lover's quarrel."
"And how did Nora describe it?" Weiss asked, taking a long drink. Ruby gave a wicked smile.
"Power-booping"
Weiss spit all of her coffee out onto the windshield, causing Ruby to burst out laughing like a maniac. Hot coffee dripped from Weiss's mouth, down her chin and onto her jacket.
"Are you fucking kidding me?"
Ruby continued laughing, having great difficulty breathing.
"I've never seen anyone manage to break both a box-spring and a mattress before, but they somehow managed at one of the inns we stayed at. In like the first twenty minutes we were there. Here's the thing, you remember that Velvet is a rabbit-faunus, of course, and Cardin told me even she isn't like that."
Weiss giggled again, wiping her chin off in the process.
"How do they not have kids yet?!"
Ruby shrugged.
"Aggressive contraceptives would be my guess."
Weiss turned, concerned look on her face.
"They make condoms that strong?"
"I guess they do. I'm more surprised that she hasn't shattered his hips yet. Dude's got constitution to keep up with the mighty Agent Thor."
Ruby sighed contentedly as she watched Weiss's face contort, likely picturing Ren and Nora in the act of power-booping. It was funny now, of course, despite how loud and annoying they were on mission. But of course she was happy for them, seeing as they were now together-together. It gave her an idea.
"Weiss?"
The girl shook the remaining bad images out of her head and smiled over at her, making Ruby blush. Weiss's smile was contagious.
"Yes, my little Rose-Petal?"
Be still, my beating heart. Still, I say!
"We're together-together, right?"
Weiss smiled again.
"I'd say so. Why do you ask?"
Ruby beamed, hiding her malicious intent.
"Wanna power-boop later?"
