A/N: The one-shot is now a series. Not sure when I will update it. Maybe on a weekly basis. Anyway. Enjoy!
Since Beacon was an old school, a few of it's corridors were unable to support modern lighting, so the only source of light came from the intense beams of orange that angled in from the setting sun beyond the windows that dotted the length of the corridor. It had the effect of enshrouding Blake in the shadow casted by the rays that illuminated Ruby. So it made sense when Ruby didn't notice Blake observing her weird behavior.
Blake saw Ruby innocently whistling to herself while focusing on the view outside. It was strange, she expected Ruby would be rambling on about some story or another at this point. The walk from the library was definitely quieter than usual, even for Blake's standards. Was it because of that kiss?
At the time Blake thought nothing of it. When she was alive, her mother would kiss her on the forehead when she was proud of her or just happy to see her. Then again, this is Ruby. Even if she is working hard as their leader, she is still pretty immature and tomboyish. It wouldn't be unlike her to take a simple kiss and blow it out of proportion. "Hey Ruby," Blake said. She tried to get her attention by repeating her name to no avail. Finally, Blake stopped and grabbed Ruby's arm.
"Huh!?" she blurted as she was suddenly jerked back. "Hey! What was that for?"
"Ruby, I've been trying to talk to you this whole time. You couldn't hear me?
"Oh, sorry! I guess I was daydreaming too much." she said, grinning-far too much for any normal person-in order to hide the blush on her cheeks.
Blake raised an eyebrow in suspicion. The tiny movement seemed to scare the life out of Ruby. Blake chuckled at her. "That's OK. Listen, about earlier. That kiss we shared, what did you think of that?"
"W-what do you mean? A kiss is a kiss right? I didn't think much about it at all!"
"Ruby I'm serious." Blake crossed her arms in frustration and Ruby slouched.
"I'm sorry. Honestly, I don't know Blake. After you well...you-know-what me, I kind of just went haywire like a broken machine. I don't know what I was thinking."
Maybe Blake had gone to far. Maybe humans didn't share the same opinions towards kissing that faunas did. Morse so, Ruby was her junior by two years. Blake remembered that even the younger girls in the White Fang acted strange around boys older then them-especially Adam. Furthermore, Ruby was terrified of boys more than a full grown ursa. Maybe she was scared of close interaction to begin with. Blake realized that Ruby was waiting patiently for some sort of response from her. Even she couldn't muster to say anything to break up the silence. However, she did have an inkling thought in the back of her head. "Ruby, was that your first kiss?"
"What? Of course not. Yang used to kiss me on the cheek all the time when I was little!"
"I mean from someone other than family."
"Well...then yes. That was my first kiss."
"I see." Blake trailed off. Even to the faunas, first kisses were important. Maybe Blake had made a mistake and overreacted. Then again, she couldn't remember why she had the urge to kiss Ruby in the first place. She blushed and wanted to quickly move on to another subject. But, she couldn't think of anything to say. Without any other options, Blake started walking towards the cafeteria again. Ruby followed. Their walk seemed more quiet than ever.
As the duo turned the next corner, they discovered Yang turning down the corner from the opposite side. This was the usual time the gang would meet up to eat dinner, so it was no surprise to run into her here. The bubbly blonde waved at them and jogged down to join them.
She landed a gentle kiss on Blake's lips after reaching them. Blake blushed slightly. She hated it when Yang showed her affection in public. It was bad enough to hear rumors forming about them the second they kissed; but even worse when Blake's faunas hearing was able to catch every single "juicy" detail thrown around like lose change. However, Blake couldn't help but humor her girlfriend when she reached in to land one.
"Hey there hot stuff!" Yang shouted. "Hey sis!"
Blake glimpsed at Ruby. As usual, she turned her back whenever she saw the two kissing. But, now she wasn't turning around to rejoin the conversation as usual. Blake worried if it had to do with the kiss earlier. Before she doubted too much, however, Ruby turned back around, the red in her cheeks only slightly visible.
"Hey Yang!" she blurted, again with a grin too long for any normal person. Yang didn't seem to notice.
"Let's get going. I'm starving and the Ice Queen's already waiting for us." Yang reached to hold Blake's hand as the trio turned another corner, but the brunette waved it away.
"That's enough for today Yang." Blake said, staring down her lover with her eerie amber eyes. Yang slouched.
"So guess what Blake. I discovered a new rumor today!" Yang said. Unlike her partner, Yang embraced the rumors as symbols of their love.
"Please Yang, I've heard enough of the rumors for a lifetime." Blake said.
"But This one's really good!" she yelled. "In fact, I don't even remember doing it!"
Blake's bow twitched with curiosity. Ruby zoomed in on Yang's speech while maintaining the clueless profile she did all day.
"What do you mean?" Blake asked.
"Well. Apparently someone caught you and me making out in the library. Funny thing is though, I don't remember any of it! Wouldn't surprise me if I did we did though. Do you remember?"
Blake eyes widened. It wasn't unlike Yang to forget one of her drunk love assaults on Blake after tapping into her secret supply of beer, she would always forget the next morning. "Yeah. I think you snuck in there a couple of days ago and I went to go fetch you and...well you know the rest!" she conjured.
"I figured as much!" Yang yelled, skipping ahead of Ruby and Blake.
Blake glimpsed at Ruby and Ruby looked at Blake. The look in their eyes was nothing good.
