My Sorry Eyes Can See
She didn't know how much more she can take of this. It's been like this for almost four days now and Blake was starting to really feel the stare Ruby was sending her direction bore its way into the back of her skull. She couldn't think of a single thing she had done to wrong the younger, but she must of done something, right? No one stared at another person in such a manner unless the were wronged in some way.
The raven haired girl turned to look at the girl beside her; Yang. It appeared that the blonde had no idea what her sibling was doing, but how? When Ruby was sitting right across from her! Was she used to this type of stare? That wouldn't make any sense due to the fact that Ruby and Yang were so close to one another. So, why was Yang so oblivious to Ruby's harsh gaze? Then it hit Blake; Ruby was only staring at her like that. No one else even saw the stare.
This unsettled Blake even more now, her body fighting off the shiver that it so wanted to release. She knew not to do this, it would only make the predator take more delight in her prey's suffering. Amber eyes glanced up to meet hard silver, Blake then noticed the small smirk on Ruby's lips; even without the shiver it seemed like the cloaked fiend knew.
After the awkward lunch, Blake decided to return to the dorm room instead of staying at the library, she felt much safer in the presence of Yang than by herself since Ruby had already proven to be quite clever when she wanted to be. She let out a relieved sigh when her fingers wrapped around the door knob, twisting it with such grace the metal workings made not a sound.
The ninja swiftly made her way inside and smiled at the sight of her bed which was still freshly made and beckoning for her to flop down on it and curl up with a nice book. Her thoughts were shattered when she heard the curtain on Ruby's bed being drawn back, revealing the team leader sitting in her own bed the glare ever present on her face.
Blake could take no more. "What? What have I done to be under such a gaze?!" Her heart pounded in her chest, making her ears (both sets) hot and straining for some sort of noise, any at all. She watched as Ruby only straightened her back, giving her more of an intimidating stance before she let go a slight noise, a mixture between a rumble and a sigh.
"I've noticed that you and Yang have been getting along quite well." Ruby stated in a tone Blake had only heard come from the older sibling...a tone Blake recognized rather quickly.
It was the same tone Yang used when she talked about people liking her little sister...
Ruby knew. Ruby knew she liked Yang! Blake could feel the cold sweat break across her skin, her eyes widening in both shock and fear, and her heart raced in her chest. "I..." The words were stuck in her throat and no matter how hard she tried to push them through, they only lingered on the tip of her tongue.
It seemed as though the young redhead had grown bored with the waiting and stuttering for she hopped down from her hanging bed and made her way over to her teammate, only stopping when she was right in front of her. Normally, Blake was very hard to intimate, but this was different for her. She had never had a friend, who was the younger sibling of a friend that she found herself having a crush on, question her about said crush on said friend's older sister.
"I want you to know..." Ruby said as she gently guided Blake to sit on her own bed before she leaned down so that her nose was only inches away from the others, " that I...approve."
"...What?" Blake whispered as she watched Ruby draw back and smile down on her.
"I approve. You make Yang happy! So I'm okay with it." Ruby rubbed the tip of her nose in thought before continuing. "There are rules you gotta follow though, like, if I'm cold I get Yang before you do. Oh! And I don't want to see any, uh, stuff between you two," Ruby blushed at this and cleared her throat, "and you gotta make Yang happy! Other then that, you can do what you wish."
Blake blinked a few times before she was able to comprehend what had just happened. "Wait...if you're okay with me asking Yang out then...why were you staring at me like that!?"
At this, Ruby gave out a low chuckle and a wicked smirk. "Oh, I just wanted you to know that I'm watching you and if you ever break Yang's heart...my stare will be the least of your worries."
"RUBY!" Both girls turned to see Yang and Weiss at the door, it appeared they had been there for some time as well. "The Hell you doing to Blake?!"
"NaaaaaThin'!" Ruby sang out before she skipped over to her older sister and tugged on her wrist, making the older lean down so the smaller one could whisper in her ear. Weiss and Blake only watched as Yang blushed, kissed her sister on the cheek, and ruffled up her hair. "I'mma go hang out with team JNPR! Catch you later!" Ruby smiled as she skipped off into the hallway.
Weiss tilted her head to get a good look of Yang's face before she glanced over to Blake. She sighed before rolling her eyes. "Should I just go?"
"N-no, you do not have to leave." Blake answered as she tried to gather her nerves. It was still awkward between her and Weiss after the huge fight they had about the White Fang and fauna in general. It took both Yang and Ruby a good while before they were on speaking terms again. "It's your room as well, Weiss."
Weiss only nodded before she walked over to her bed, but paused in front of it. Her gaze drifted upwards onto Ruby's bed before she turned to look at the two. "Instead of leaving, I'll be up there with the canopy closed so you two can...do whatever you two are going to do. Just...I don't want to hear anything, alright?" The heiress couldn't fight back the blush that was staining her cheeks. She would have normally left without a word, but she needed to study for a test tomorrow and the library was closed due to some repairs and updates.
"Ah! You do have a heart!" Yang laughed as she patted Weiss on the shoulder, a bit too hard, before she sat down beside a crimson Blake. She watched as Weiss only growled at her before climbing into the hanging bed and drawing the curtains closed. "So!" Yang piped up as she turned to Blake. "Ruby's been watching you, huh?"
"How could you not notice?! She made no attempts to really hide it you know!" Blake hissed at the laughing blonde.
"She's just being a little sister is all." Yang wrapped her arm around the other girl and drew her closer. "She didn't mean any harm."
"Really? Because we walked in on her threatening Blake." Weiss huffed behind the white sheets.
"Aren't you supposed to be studying?" Yang shot back before turning to look at Blake once more. "Don't worry about Ruby. She won't kill you or anything and plus, you'll be able to protect yourself against her!"
"You...you're serious? She's attacked people before?" Blake gasped. She watched as Yang gave out a nervous chuckle.
"Well...yeah, but...No one died-"
"Yet."
"Weiss!" Blake and Yang both whined as they heard her give off a small chuckle. "Look. I like you too and Ruby likes you so, don't worry about it!" Before Blake could ask anymore questions, Yang pulled her in for a kiss. It was sweet and soft and most definitely enough to make the raven haired beauty relax and stop her worrying for once.
To Blake, that kiss was worth the four long days of stares.
~ Bonus~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Blake was fast asleep, cuddled up beside Yang, very warm and happy. They had decided to use her bed since it was safer then the one above. The cat fauna then felt someone poke her shoulder, egging her on to awaken. When her amber eyes did open, she turned to see Ruby standing beside the bed. She assumed the younger wanted to cuddle with her older sibling, but was surprised when said girl stopped her movements with a wave of the hand.
Blake watched as Ruby reached down and touched one of her feline ears. "You're purring." She whispered as she began to scratch her.
"I'm sorry. I didn't even know I was doing that." Blake blushed deeply as she tried to hide her face from the other, though she knew Ruby couldn't make it out in the dark.
"S'kay." Ruby yawned before she began to pet Blake. "You make Yang happy, so I'm happy. And you're purring and that means you're happy. Weiss gets peace and quiet so she's happy. Everyone's happy." Ruby then walked over to her bed before she turned to throw Blake another stare. "But...if you make Yang sad...no one will be happy." The young girl smiled at her after she made it to the top bunk and under its covers. "Goodnight, Blake."
"G-goodnight, Ruby." Blake gulped before turning to see the face of Yang, peacefully unaware of her little sister's threat. "Why must she be so much like you?"
