Delicious.
That was the one word, the only word, to describe the food they had been served on not one, but three large silver platters. There was at least four types of meat on one platter, eggs and a large assortment of bread on the second, and fruit on the last. Next to the platters which held more food than Weiss would be able to eat in as many days as there were platters, sat a small serving tray with fresh milk, cream, and tea.
The old grandfather clock in the corner of the room had just struck ten, waking both Weiss and Ruby from their sleep just as a knock sounded at the door. Eight servants had rushed in, hanging dresses and pieces of clothing over a dressing curtain and started running water in the bath. Two were currently making the recently abandoned bed and one was pulling various powders out of a box on the vanity. The last two had set up a table before bringing in the food which now held both Ruby and Weiss's attention.
"I know I wasn't feeling hungry yesterday, but damn." Ruby mumbled just loud enough for Weiss to hear, almost causing her to choke on the sip of tea she'd just attempted.
"Stop that, Ruby." Weiss chided as she gave the girl a warning look. Over the night, or rather, as she woke up realization of just how important Elsa and Anna might actually be finally started to sink in. The room they'd called a guest room was even more elaborate than the most decorated room in the Schnee household, and it must have cost a lot of money to build. They must have had countless servants at their call as well as an entire military. The fact they hadn't been downright terrified of a five thousand man invasion force was proof enough.
Knock knock.
Weiss looked up at the sudden noise, noticing a servant stopping by the door and looking back at them. Wordlessly, Weiss nodded to the girl in the simple green dress who opened the door to reveal Kai who stepped in, allowing her to close the door again.
"Glad to see you two up. The queen has requested your presence in the throne room at half past eleven. That should give you enough time to get out of those…." The way he eyed their outfits was all Weiss needed to know that he didn't approve. "In that regard, we've brought out two dresses that should fit relatively well. Your servants will be able to help with minor adjustments after you have cleaned up."
"Thanks!" Ruby chirped just before stuffing a relatively large chunk of bread into her mouth.
"Pleasure." Kai stepped back as he drew the word out, turning away disinterestedly. "I will come to escort you at twenty minutes past eleven. Please ensure you are ready."
With that he took his leave, allowing the eight servants to mill around at their chores until the one preparing the washroom returned.
"The baths are ready Miladies. Please follow me." She spoke with a subtle nod at her colleague who followed her into the washroom as Ruby pulled Weiss along behind them.
"Whoa…" Ruby breathed as she took in the washroom for the first time. And honestly, Weiss couldn't blame her.
The room was sparkling white tile from floor to ceiling, which was painted with a mural of a sun on a cloudy summer day. And the room was large, it had two bathtubs large enough for the entirety of team RWBY to fit in each one and they were filled over the brim with bubbles. They even had a dividing dressing curtain between the steps leading into them. The servants waited patiently on either side of the curtain and Weiss suddenly had a sneaking suspicion of what they were waiting for.
As if on cue, the servants moved and started attempting to undress them as they pulled them to opposite sides of the curtain.
"H-hey!" Ruby squeaked causing Weiss to jump away as her servant pulled her jacket off.
"Leave us. We don't require your assistance in this regard." Weiss spoke as she'd done routinely in her father's presence, and immediately she watched as the second servant walked out from around the other side of the curtain and the two left with simple apologies. Weiss noticed the odd smile on their faces before shaking her head and turning her attention to the curtain. "Are you alright Ruby?"
"Y-yeah. Just… wasn't expecting that." She muttered in response. For a second there was silence then Weiss heard the sound of her partner's corset being undone and watched as Ruby's cape was draped over the dressing curtain next to Weiss's jacket followed closely by her skirt.
"I should go. I'll just-" Weiss started, feeling her cheeks light as she realized what Ruby was doing past the light wooden frame between them.
"There's two tubs Weiss." Ruby replied easily as if it were just common sense. "We do sort of smell."
"Ruby… I don't think that's a good idea." Weiss said as she nevertheless started to take her dress off.
"I promise I won't look if that's what you're worrying about." Ruby giggled slightly as she quickly stepped up the steps and dropped into the tub.
Weiss almost forgot to breathe as the split second flash of Ruby's skin embedded itself into her mind. The slight but muscular curvature of her back almost becoming her main focus if it weren't for the glimpse of Ruby's rear which she found impossible to erase from her memory. Ruby had at least had the thought to cover her upper half but even so, Weiss found herself suddenly warm as Ruby turned back to her with a gentle grin before turning to look at the far wall to give Weiss her privacy.
Weiss quickly finished undressing herself and dropped herself into her tub, surprised that the temperature was almost perfect, just slightly on the hotter side of warm.
"Nice, right?" Ruby asked with a grin as she moved along the massive tub until her head bobbed directly in the center.
"Y-yeah." Weiss nodded as she felt the knots in her muscles slowly untangle themselves.
The two fell silent as they simply sat, enjoying the warmth. Weiss watched Ruby's silver eyes shimmer in the damp heat of the room and felt her core heat up as she thought about what lay beneath the thick layer of bubbles on Ruby's tub. She wasn't proud about the thoughts running through her head, but was simply happy she wasn't tempted to act on those feelings. She'd just gotten Ruby to agree to try their new relationship out, and wasn't eager to push her too far too fast.
Weiss pushed that thought out of her head as she watched Ruby rub the bubbles into her own shoulders, sighing as the pink lathe remained on her skin even as she moved her hands down her front. Weiss bit her lip as her hands involuntarily started to copy her partner, rubbing her shoulders and then moving down her front where she was met by her two very erect nipples.
Weiss watched Ruby as she rubbed one arm then another before returning to her front. Weiss felt a drop of blood form where her teeth were desperately holding on to what she thought would be an embarrassing sound. Shaking herself from watching Ruby, Weiss closed her eyes and quickly finished washing herself before letting herself soak in the hot water. The sloshing from Ruby's tub was thought provoking but manageable, and Weiss was able to calm herself down enough to once again open her eyes.
She turned to find Ruby staring at her, still in the center of the tub, her face now red as her eyes met Weiss's. Ruby bit her lip as if she wanted to say something. After a moment, she seemed to decide not to voice her thought and smiled, but didn't look away. They remained like that, eyes staring into each others for minutes as Ruby continued to bite her lip and Weiss found herself doing the same.
Weiss watched as Ruby's eyes dilated for a moment before Ruby's teeth released her lip and she let out a long, shaky breath and slumped further into the water. The look on her face seemed almost serene and Weiss found herself heating up all over again, this time unable to stop herself as she pinched one of her nipples roughly and started to tease her sensitive bud before she realized what she was doing. All while looking at Ruby who seemed to have zoned out with the way her eyes seemed to gloss over.
Half of her mind couldn't believe what she was doing and urged her to stop, but the other half really didn't care. Weiss felt herself tense and gasped for air as she felt her legs contract powerfully. Her head felt light and she wanted nothing more than to enjoy the sensations coursing through her veins but instead kept an eye on Ruby to ensure she remained off in her own world. She had never finished herself so quickly before, and never wanted to continue once she had. But just looking at Ruby's content expression somehow soon had Weiss continuing to toy with her sensitive bud in the hopes that she'd finish herself a second time.
Ruby's face had a serene grin on it that made Weiss want nothing more than to kiss her senseless. Weiss felt herself tensing in anticipation as she slowly edged into her second orgasm. She pinched her bud gently and coughed as she felt the pressure inside burst in a brilliant white flash of stars in front of her eyes. She fought desperately to not move as Ruby's eyes shifted back and then looked into her own, but any attempt at hiding the pleasure washing through her was doomed from the start. Weiss felt wave after wave of pleasure race through her as her muscles clenched and she breathed heavily in an attempt to still appear normal or at least as if she were just getting overheated from the water. That is, until she let slip a low moan as her muscles finally went slack, allowing her to sink completely under the water for a moment.
Weiss felt her shame at the incident flare as she held her breath and debated for a moment as to whether of not she would like to resurface from the tub. There was no doubt in her mind that Ruby had been watching her, and she was terrified of having gone too far. Weiss hated how weak she was to resist the temptation of Ruby's lithe frame, but at the same time marvelled that she'd been able to finish not just once, but twice with nothing more than Ruby's smile and her imagination. She sighed, letting her breath out and rubbing her face. As much as she hated to admit it, Ruby at least deserved an apology for her actions, so she pushed herself back to the surface hoping that Ruby might have missed the final, most embarrassing sound she'd let slip.
"Weiss." Ruby's almost choked voice sounded close as Weiss surfaced looking at Ruby's empty tub. She turned around just as Ruby's fingers wrapped themselves firmly into her dripping hair and pulled her to the edge of the tub where Ruby crashed their lips together almost desperately, not that Weiss minded one bit. This kiss was intense, but also calming. Weiss felt her heart rate slow back to a usual pace, and her panic about having offended disappear as Ruby's lips worked their magic. After what could only have been minutes, Ruby released her and stepped back. Weiss noticed she was wrapped in a towel and she held out another for her.
"Thanks." Weiss said as she took the towel and wrapped her long hair in it. Before she could ask, Ruby passed her another towel and turned away, allowing Weiss to exit the tub. "Ruby-"
"Nope." Was the immediate response before she'd even voiced her thoughts.
"Ruby I'm-" Weiss tried again, feeling her face blush as she looked at Ruby's own blush.
"Nope. Nuh-uh." Ruby said with her leader voice as she shook her head firmly.
"I'm just-" Weiss tried yet again only to have Ruby crash her lips to her own once more.
Weiss gasped as Ruby's tongue met her own and it quickly turned into a fight for dominance that Ruby soon won, sucking on Weiss's tongue as she moaned at the odd yet pleasurable sensation. It definitely didn't help that Weiss could feel the smooth skin of Ruby's arms beneath her hands as they embraced. Ruby released Weiss and licked at her girlfriend's lips as Weiss helplessly grasped Ruby's body closer to her own.
"Can we just pretend we didn't just do that?" Ruby asked with a tone that Weiss now realized was a mix of shyness and frustration mixed with Ruby's usual awkwardness. She waited for Weiss's nod before smiling and placing a chaste kiss on her lips. "Th-thanks."
Weiss just nodded into Ruby's shoulder as they held each other. Whatever Weiss had done in her life to deserve Ruby, she didn't know. But at the moment she was just thankful to have made another memory with the energetic girl, embarrassing as it may have been.
"Wait… we?" Weiss asked, her eyes wide as she pushed herself away to look into Ruby's eyes.
"Um… the experiment worked?" Ruby suggested as her face grew to an even deeper shade of red. "Just… drop it for now?"
"Uh, yeah… yeah." Weiss nodded in a kind of stunned silence as the implications of Ruby's words worked through her mind. She pushed all thoughts about the last few minutes out of her head as she searched for a topic that would be safer than the one she wanted to address. "We should probably get ready for the queen."
