Welp, time for more of this I suppose...
Chapter 2:
Groaning a little as she felt herself being dragged out of the room, Ruby could just feel the urge to plot everyone's death. It wasn't like this was a complicated feat on anyone's part. She just wished that her sister would have accepted that she didn't want to go back into that room.
She could just feel the urge to kill redouble, and she knew that she could act on it once she knew who was laughing. "Ruby, you can't avoid being in the living room."
"I could have. You just had to be a poo and unlock me and then drag me out. Acting like I haven't stared outside the patio doors for hours before... especially when my alternative is being in here." Ruby sulked further as Yang just shook her head. "And I hope you know, the second you let go I'm going to try and go back out there. I don't care how long I need to wait for dinner to get here." Ruby stated as Yang just was glad that she hadn't looked behind to see Yang restraining the urge to laugh.
Coming to a stop in front of the tv, Yang quickly pressed the locks down as she took a deep breath. "You try and go again and I'll take your chair and drag you back. It won't kill you to see some of your old trophies." Yang said as she resisted the urge to smack her sister who had blown a raspberry towards her. "Alternatively, I could just put something like a few books down in front of the wheels stopping you. So either way you can stay out here." Yang continued as Ruby took a deep breath before she repeated her last action knowing it would get on her sister's nerves.
"It certainly feels like it will kill me... they already nearly did... three separate times." Ruby said as Yang rolled her eyes and quickly plucked some of the books off one of the shelves before using them like chocks to stop her sister from fleeing the room. "Would have just been the once if Dad or Mom would have listened and smelted them down or burnt them... or even taken them upstairs."
"And maybe it would have been once if you could just accept that Dad and when she was alive Mom were proud of your accomplishments and instead of trying to tear them down in a fit of rage just accept that the trophy case and some of the higher place ones would take a number of people to move." Yang said as she quickly avoided the swipe her sister tried to make once she realised what was happening behind her.
"That is never going to happen, just like how apparently I don't even get a say where I want to be." Ruby scolded as Yang shook her head before she walked towards Weiss before jumping down onto the seat next to the white haired woman laughing as she knew what Ruby would do.
It was the same thing that happened whenever Ruby was forced to be in this room or even her old room before she was moved into the old study downstairs. Yang couldn't help but smile as she saw Blake walking into the room a look of question on her face as though it wasn't clearly self explanatory. Or at least in Yang's eyes that was how the situation appeared. Ruby wanted to be out of the room and as far away from the mementos of her past life before she was bound to the wheelchair.
Getting what Yang was trying to do, Blake walked over towards Ruby and just took a seat on her lap. Just trying to get through this small quagmire of a situation they had been put in from Tai simply not ordering the food early enough. Not that Blake could really blame him. Especially how some of their meals would change so frequently whenever they did come around.
"Ruby, you can't kill your sister. I'm sure she has a good reason." Blake whispered softly just enjoying the feeling of Ruby's arms encircling her waist. "I promise I'll make it up to you when we get back home."
"Hear that Ruby, I even got you laid. You should be thanking me." Yang chirped without taking her gaze of the tv as Ruby groaned at the feeling of Blake clamping her own hands over Ruby's.
"I don't need your help for that. Or your wife laughing at me being dragged out." Ruby bit as Blake quickly looked towards Ruby a blush covering her face. Something that Ruby knew what it was about but she was just mad and even madder at the fact that she couldn't just go away like she wanted to. "I don't want to be in this room Blake..." Ruby complained as Blake just smiled and leaned down to plant a chaste kiss on Ruby's lips.
Pulling back Blake just smiled at Ruby as she remembered a few close calls involving her girlfriend's father finding them in a similar situation. "Where is Tai?" Blake asked as Yang twisted around to look at the duo with a slight chuckle in her voice.
"He is outside trying to get the fire pit ready for a late night because I think he might be trying to get Weiss and I to stay the night because next month we are meant to be on our way to Vacuo. And he knows that is half of the easiest way for us to stay. The other being some booze. You guys should probably stay as well." Yang said with a smile as Ruby rolled her eyes.
"I would love to Yang, but I doubt Tai would still have the things for Ruby to stay the night."
"Plus shockingly that would mean spending more time in this room... or worse Dad busting out one of the many albums." Ruby said as she started to crack her neck.
"I can do it now if that is the main holdback."
Glaring towards her father as though it would be the thing that stopped him from doing this, Ruby just knew she was being dumb in that idea but she also knew that she had to try. "No Dad. That isn't the main one. Just a large one. Because you always pull out the same annoying album when it is about me. An album I might add is just as annoying as the freaking trophies." Ruby began as she could see her dad just shake her head. "Plus what Blake said about how I doubt you have any waste bags that are still in date. Plus the bathroom down here still isn't large enough for a wheelchair and the last time you claimed it was I nearly broke my fingers getting in let alone out."
"Pretty sure in order to not poop yourself requires muscle control below the belt." Yang taunted as Ruby started to groan at the fact she couldn't get closer to her sister just to skin her a little for continuing to make the jokes.
As she was about to scream at her and the fact she could hear her dad walking upstairs, she was at least thankful for the sound of the doorbell. It meant that she could get out of the room, and by extension get away from the guilt that always felt so much worse than the reminders of her wasted life.
Standing up, the blonde just smiled as Blake continued to hold onto Ruby's hands for what clearly was meant to be her own protection. A feat that didn't make sense to Yang or Ruby but she just knew that Blake was going to continue it until Yang was outside Ruby's swing range.
Once the door was open, Blake stood up and started to move the books from under Ruby so she could at least move again. Picking up the final book that was in the front Blake had just moved her hands before she smiled at the sight of Ruby quickly wheeling herself away from the room as though it was on fire. Something that just made Blake smile as she bent down to pick up the final two books.
"I know I never knew her before she was beaten into a wheelchair... but some of those trophies I do know have records attached to them that even nearly a decade later are yet to be broken. Shouldn't she have pride for at least that?" Weiss asked as Blake shook her head and walked over towards the bookcase and carefully placed them down on one of the shelves with large gaps where she assumed they came from.
"There are a lot of complicated emotions Ruby has for them." The women could hear the distinct deep voice coming down the stairs holding several pleather bound items and even one leather one that Blake knew well enough. "She claims the main one is the fact that she just feels regret for spending so much of her life training to set those records." Tai continued as he gestured for the other two women into the kitchen.
Walking into the room the trio stopped at the sight of Ruby with her head resting in between her thumb and index finger. "I told you he was getting them. And now he will try and convince me and Blake to stay despite the fact it really isn't that easy for me." Ruby said a little exhausted by the night already and just knew that if Blake could be convinced to stay.
"Oh what is the worst that will happen. You poop and or pee in the bed?" Yang asked a little glad that she hadn't given anything to Ruby yet just because she knew it would have been thrown at the back of her head. "That is something that happens if I drink a bottle of Everclear."
"That is more so your liver wanting to shut down as your mother said any time I would drink that." Tai said with a laugh as Yang shook her head at the comment.
"It doesn't matter either way, I don't want to be covered in those types of bodily fluids. Or do you all forget how good my sense of smell is?" Blake asked as Ruby rolled her eyes at the statement. It always felt like it was a lie when she said it. Or just that she could never smell sex off of Ruby underneath the sweat from her just trying to move from one point in the city to another.
It was at the point that Ruby just knew it was a case of Blake wanting to protect her stance of not staying but also so it wouldn't really offend them while giving Ruby her own out. It was nothing but a win win for them. Something that could only make Ruby feel even better was if her Dad would finally listen to her about the memory albums and trophies and just get rid of them.
Even though to Ruby it felt like that was a hill she'd never get to the top of while her father remained alive. Something she hoped wouldn't change for a long long time to come.
"Dad seriously, I'm asking you nicely. Can you just wait till Blake and I leave before you start opening the albums? I don't like being reminded." Ruby pleaded as she could see her father just seemingly accept it as he rested them next to the plates Yang had just started to finish. "Thank you Dad." Ruby responded as Tai started to walk around around with the plates and placing them down on the table.
"You know I wouldn't have shown the one you don't like. I only ever have done that when people ask or the few times you tried to tear down the items your sister and mom worked so hard to build for everyone to see what you've done before the accident." Tai spoke with a smile towards Ruby who rolled her eyes.
Taking a deep breath, Ruby started to to wheel herself into the apartment building. She was just happy to be far away from her past. Something that she was glad about and how Blake had seemingly wanted to defend her about the given situation.
Catching the keys being tossed her way, Ruby just smiled as she started to twist them in the lock, enjoying how she knew that she could possibly just get through the night hopefully without living any more regretful moments from her past.
As she wheeled into the house, she spun around a little to see Blake walking in with a slightly tired look on her face. Something Ruby could empathise with just from how exhausted the meals at her dad's always seemed to make them.
"I need to get in the shower... I'll help you get started on packing afterwards." Ruby said as Blake just smiled covering her nose. "I'm sorry about the smell... it has just been a really hot day and I haven't exactly had a chance to wash the scent of booze, sweat and sex from earlier off." Ruby continued with a slight smile followed by rubbing her eyes.
"It's fine Ruby. I only need to pack for the two days I'm on the boat there. Which I'm sure you remember is mostly going to be me sleeping or reading." Blake said as Ruby quickly gestured her over to take a seat on her lap.
Smiling as she took the seat offered, and Blake could just feel the smile shift a little from Ruby wrapping her arms around her because she just knew what this was going to be about despite the fact that Blake would much rather to have the reassurance from her family that she should be with Ruby.
A thought that had come more and more apparent the longer she had been going out with Ruby. But the for some reason anytime she felt Ruby holding her she could feel her judgement being clouded further and further until she could never see it.
"I'm sorry I can't bring myself to go with you Blake. Even if I had a little movement in my legs I would have attempted it. Especially because I do enjoy being around your parents Blake. I promise though, I'll call you every morning, every night and if you want I'll call you every hour. I don't have a huge workload right now. I have two things I need to build and test and send my findings back... which you would be thankful to be long gone because one of them is a disposable and edible animal whistle for what purpose I couldn't tell you even if I didn't sign a non disclosure."
"So anytime a racist blows one a Faunus can make them literally eat it and we won't have charges brought up against us." Blake theorised as Ruby just laughed and planted a chaste kiss on her lips. Something that just caused Blake further confusion.
"Possibly... I don't get sent much in the lines of what the items do... just what they are meant to be." Ruby began as she rested her head on top of Blake's shoulder. Just hoping that Blake really was going to be fine on her way back to visit her family.
"Either way... you don't need to call me that much Ruby. Just promise me you'll be careful and check your legs at least every few hours to make sure you aren't bleeding." Blake said softly as she stood up and smiled as she caught the fingertips of Ruby. "And if you hold off on the shower, I can join you. I kind of enjoy your musk. Especially knowing I contributed to it..." Blake said raising one of the hands up to her lips and planting a kiss on them before raising them to her cheek just to rub against it.
Smiling a bit Ruby turned her hand around and started to just cup Blake's face as she started to pull herself up a bit to meet Blake again. Just enjoying the feeling of Blake deepening the kiss. Something that made Ruby just feel so much better about this turn.
Pulling back silver meeting amber, Ruby just couldn't help but smile as she could see the concern in Blake's features. "I'll hold off on the shower, but that depends entirely on how early your flight is because that turns a twenty minute shower into a few hours one and I want you to get a decent amount of sleep before I have to see you off." Ruby said as she quickly pulled Blake back into her lap. "So when are you heading to the port?" Ruby asked as she smiled at Blake shifting her knees so they were on either side of Ruby's lap.
"Departure is at seven so I need to leave about half five to give myself time to find my room." Blake said with a smile as she leaned down once again to capture Ruby's lips anew. Just enjoying the fact that Ruby seemed to take to the idea. One that was just perfect to Blake. "So the way I see it, we take an hour and a half to two hour shower, gives me half an hour to pack, then maybe we go another few rounds and I can still get the three hours I really need to function." Blake continued wrapping her arms around Ruby who settled her hands on Blake's hips.
Pulling back a little, Blake quickly reached down to grab the hem of her shirt before giving it a sharp tug upwards enjoying the free feeling that just seemed to redouble as she felt Ruby quickly pull her down into a passionate kiss ended far to quickly for Blake's liking but she was overjoyed at the feeling of Ruby latching onto her throat as one of her hands raised up to cup one of the mounds. She couldn't help but be overjoyed at the sound of her girlfriend moaning deeply above her.
She just wished that there was some sort of feeling to go along with it besides joy to know she was the one to cause such a feeling to Blake.
Carefully lifting herself into the chair, Ruby just winced a little at the feeling of her arms popping. She knew that the knocking on the door had best be someone possibly dying because if it was just someone going to door to door sales they would get an ear full of how to read.
Grabbing her left shoulder carefully as she started to rotate her arms, Ruby was glad a little that the knocking had stopped. Sighing as she knew that she would need to open the door either way, she just hoped that it was something worth her moving from her bed this early.
Flying towards the front door, she just hoped now that she could feel her stomach rumbling that it was someone offering her food. Hell the fact her stomach was rumbling was probably one of the reasons Ruby wished she had been crippled just further up her body. But at the same time being able to move around herself was worth the occasional annoyance of being hungry.
Pressing the handle down, Ruby begun to wheel herself back just so she could address who it was. Laughing internally a little at her sister and sister in law quickly covering their eyes, Ruby could finally take in how she was dressed.
"Guys, one this is my home. Two you both have keys and finally, you both have seen me naked..." Ruby said as she started to wheel herself back into the house. Laughing a little at the sight of them walking in as though they were trying to keep her modesty. "Someone close the door, I'll put some coffee on." Ruby said as she quickly wheeled herself backwards and into the kitchen, smiling as she could see Yang was the first one to uncover her eyes.
"We saw Blake's car here. I suggested we take you and Blake out to brunch because I was a bit crueler yesterday than I normally am. And by I suggested we both know it was Snowpea." Yang said as she ignored the eye roll that was coming from her sister. Even if she knew it was something that she deserved.
"Well, Blake is on her way back to Menagerie to get some pictures for some articles. She'll be back in just over a week. That was the reason we left so early. It just so happened that Weiss started asking stupid questions." Ruby said as she decided to leave the kitchen without turning on the coffee pot just to make sure that they weren't heading out. "Plus, shockingly I do still have a job myself and I took a day off yesterday."
Ruby said as she could see the blush still covering Weiss' face as though she had remembered the question she asked. "Yes Weiss, that question." Ruby began with a small shake of her head as she could see the blush darkening. "Now, you guys can wait a matter of days, come back with some, or wait for me to boot up one of the printers and get a design printing, and then get some clothes on and we can go." Ruby spoke with a slight laugh as Weiss quickly turned around.
"We have reservations at La Merde in an hour and a half. You have forty five minutes to get all that done and decent clothes on." Weiss spoke up as Ruby rolled her eyes at the comment. "And yes, I'm aware what 'La Merde' means. From what the owner has told me it was his nickname."
"I feel sorry for him then." Ruby said as she started to wheel towards the back of the home where Ruby kept some of the machines she used for her job. Forcing the door open with her knees, just glad that she'd be able to get some food. "Weiss, just so we don't need to play a game of what I consider decent and what you consider decent, go through my drawers to find something to wear because I am not getting changed once I have clothes on. It is a lot harder for me to pull on clothes and take them off." Ruby yelled from the back room as she move towards her favourite three d printer to have on if she isn't nearby to monitor it.
Grabbing down one of the spools of wood infused plastics, Ruby started to push herself up with her elbows so she could get the plastic through the machine she couldn't help but smile at the feeling of eyes on her that she knew would be her sister.
"So colour me intrigued because I can't get the question out of my mind since Weiss asked it last night after her light but adorable ass had a fourth glass of wine. Can you really... you know..." Yang asked as Ruby rolled her eyes as she finished threading the plastic through.
"Yes Yang. I can. And shockingly I don't want to talk about that with you just as much as I don't want to talk about it with dad even in the same building let alone room." Ruby snapped as she pressed the button to start up the machine as she moved towards the desktop she also had in the room.
"How? I mean... I know for a fact you don't have muscle control or even feeling down there." Yang asked taking a step into the room. "It doesn't have anything to do with all the bite marks does it?" The blonde continued the twenty questions as Ruby grabbed the sd card from the computer and placing it between her lips as she moved back towards the machine.
"Yang there are about a thousand other people I would rather talk to about this. I hate to break it to you, I will take our teachers throughout school talking to about if I can or cannot cum. I'm fine with you seeing me naked because let's be honest here, you've already seen me naked a bunch of other times. From elementary school all the way to college. Including guarding my shower after practice and the times I got stuck in Dad's and Mom's shower before they got a larger one installed. I lost that shame a long time ago. But not this." Ruby continued as she could hear a gasp followed by one of the drawers in her room slamming shut. "FOR THE RECORD THAT ISN'T MINE!" Ruby said with a laugh as she could Weiss quickly storm out of her room and towards the living room.
"I got out a nice pair of pants and a top before I found that." Weiss said as Ruby laughed hitting the start button.
"Now Yang I suggest moving because I need to go put on the clothes and you should probably console your wife." Ruby said as she spun around her chair and started to move towards the door as her sister shook her head as though she wanted to but couldn't bring herself at that moment to ask anyone.
Author's Note:
Welp, another chapter, some things revealed, some questions hopefully raised... but that is it for me for this chapter.
