Author's note: Okay so I didn't die, well not yet. A lot of B.S has happened. First my best friend may or may not have breast cancer and I've got this thing going on with my lungs filling with fluid and I nearly drowned on my on vomit. So I've been in and out of the hospital and in and out of recovery so yeah. That happened, but I'm getting better so don't worry about it my dears. I'm back in business, but I may take time off here and there.

Chapter 8: Transitions
When Roman Torchwick opened his eyes the first thing he saw was grey hair. 'Well that's normal' he thought. Then he felt something move against his chest. He looked to see Ruby Rose snuggled in between him and Ozpin. It took him a moment to realize why red was there. 'Oh right her our mate, but why is she in here? I thought she took to the guest room.
"She snuck in here last night." Said open waking up to see Romans confused look.
"Oh" Roman replied.
"It's like she fits perfectly isn't?" Ozpin reached down and stoked Ruby's hair. Causing the girl to stir.
"Yeah she does, though I will miss having you all to myself in the morning."
"Is that so?" Ozpin smiled, "so I assume that you don't wish for Ruby to return her dorm?"
"Hell no!" Roman exclaimed "I've waited decades for you two I'm not letting either of you go further than you need to." Ozpin was about to agree when Ruby sleepily groaned.
"Weiss shut up it's too early for this!"
"Well I've been called many names but Weiss is a first." Roman chuckled. With that Ruby fully opened her eyes to see Ozpin and Roman staring back at her. When she relied where she was and how she got there her face turned as red as her hair.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to sneak in here…I just thought-"Ruby was interrupted by the sounds of her mates howling with laughter causing her to pout. "Don't laugh" she huffed
"Sorry Red but has anyone told you your cute when you're babbling?" Roman pulled Ruby closer to him.
"I'm not cute! I am a huntress in training and huntresses are not cute." Ruby pouted.
"You're right Ruby you're not cute, you're adorable" Ozpin said placing a kiss on both of his mate's cheeks before exiting the bed and heading to the bathroom.
"Hey!"
"He's right you know?" Roman smiled. His smile faded when he noticed the look on Ruby's face. "What's wrong?"
"It's just …nothing" Ruby sighed.
Roman was about to press further when the sound of Ruby's growling stomach interrupted him.
"Seems like someone is hungry" Ozpin walked out of the bathroom.
"Starving." Ruby said.
"Well let's get you fed love," Roman tossed Ruby over his shoulder, much to her protest, and headed down stairs. Their earlier conversation filed away for later.
Ozpin followed the two red heads down stairs smiling all the while. He was enjoying the squeals Ruby was making while punching Roman's back trying to get free. 'I finally have them both' he thought. 'and no busty blonde is going to take them away from me' remembering with distaste the events that occurred yesterday evening. He was about to join his mates when his scroll buzzed in his pocket. He opened it to see that Glynda had messaged him wanting to come over for breakfast with Weiss.
"Loves," he called into the kitchen, "Glynda and Weiss want to come over this morning, is that fine with you two?"
"Sure" "Yep" came their replies.
While Ozpin messaged Glynda Ruby and Roman started breakfast. "So Red what would you like for breakfast?" Roman asked his female mate sitting on the counter.
"I don't know Ro what do we got?" Ruby replied, kicking her feet against the cabinet feeling strangely comfortable in this situation.
"Ro?" Roman chuckled amused at his new nickname.
"Well you call me Red so I'm going to call you Ro."
"I think it suits you." Ozpin walked into the kitchen.
"Ro it is" the ginger turned around towards the fridge and inspected it. "Hmmm….who's in the mood for pancakes?"
"Chocolate chip?" Ruby asked.
"What is with your unhealthy love of chocolate chip cookies?" Ozpin chuckled, Ruby just shrugged.
Roman started to get the supplies out to make the pancakes and Ruby hoped down to turn on the stove, when she noticed a strange smell coming from the oven.
"Who murdered theses innocent cookies?" she asked finding a batch of burned chocolate chip (or what looked like chocolate chip) cookies in the oven.
"We forgot the damn cookies." Roman said cracking eggs in a bowl.
"At least the oven automatically turned off, or we would have burned the place down" Ozpin helped Roman with mixing the ingredients.
"Why were you guys baking cookies?"
The two blushed embarrassed by their plan to 'persuade' Ruby into liking them. They were just about to say something when knock at the front door interrupted them.
"Could you answer that love, Ro and I have are hands full." Ozpin poured pancake batter on the griddle.
Ruby placed the tray of dead cookies in the trash and went to entrance hall and opened the front door. In stepped Glynda and Weiss holding hands.
"Good morning Miss Rose."
"Morning Ruby" The two said leaving a shocked Ruby at the door.
'Did Weiss just greet me normally? No dolt or anything' she thought as she walked back into the kitchen only to be scooped up by Ozpin.
"You were gone for too long."
"It was like only a minute Ozzie"
"Ozzie?" the three other occupants of the room asked while Ozpin chuckled.
"Apparently Ruby is giving out nicknames today." Ozpin placed Ruby in one of the island chairs in front of a cup of milk; went to check on the now cooking bacon.
"So Miss Goodwitch how are you and Weiss getting along?" Ruby sipped her milk.
"Please Ruby call her Glynda, I will not have you looking up to anyone but me and Roman in our home." Ozpin said flipping a pancake. "The same for you Glynda, my mate is to be called by her fist name just as your mate."
"Well…Ruby… if you must know-"
"And do watch your tone Glynda." Roman who couldn't help it anymore burst out laughing.
"My mate does not have to watch her tone; most defiantly does not have to take orders from you." Weiss huffed.
"Weiss dear, its ok," Goodwitch laid a calming hand on Weiss' shoulder," we're in another dominates territory he has the right to be…aggressive. Especially since he has yet to be fully bonded."
Ruby, who was confused beyond belief, just sat there sipping her milk as Ro gathered himself and finished cooking. 'I'll ask them later' she thought.
"Alright everyone grab a chair the food is done." Roman placed the food on the Island and everyone dug in.

Meanwhile in team RWBY's dorm rooms:
Yang Xiao Long slowly opened her eyes as the celling of her dorm room came into view. 'The hell happened?' she thought.
"Yang? Sweetie are you awake?" came the voice of Blake.
"Blake what happened?" Yang slowly sat up.
"Well look who rejoined the land of the living." Junior walked into the room. "How you feeling blondie?"
"Like a ton of grimm have been running through my head."
"Are you thirsty?" asked Blake, Yang nodded and she got up to get her mate some water.
"Junior what happened?"
"You mean you don't remember?"
"Well I remember leaving your house and rushing back to Beacon, then I remember running into Weiss and Miss godwit-"the blonde girl froze for a minute before her hair started to heat up.
"Yang calm down."
"THAT LITTLE BITCH! HOW DARE SHE TRY TO KEEP ME AWAY FROM MY SISTER WHEN THOSE TWO ARE DOING GOD KNOWS WHAT TO HER!" she yelled.
Junior wrapped his arms round the blonde," Yang its ok, Ruby is safe and you know it. We both know that it is impossible for Roman or Ozpin to hurt little red without good reason, they both took the oath at Roman's trial."
"Yeah but-"
"Yang it will be fine you'll see." Blake reassured as she handed Yang the glass of water.
"You just need time to adjust blondie, hell I think we all do."
Yang sighed in defeat her mates were right she had nothing to fear." But if they do hurt her in any possible way I will torture them both."
"And we'll gladly help "chuckled junior, "Ruby is technically our family too."
"Oh great that means were related to not only one ice bitch but two." Yang sighed.
"You see since Ruby is so young Ozpin made it so that we, her team, could get her medical attention even a blood relative wasn't there. So technically Weiss and I are Ruby's 'guardians'. "Blake explained noticing the confused look on Junior's face.
"Oh…oh…oh….that's just…..great" Junior plopped down on the bed causing both girls to laugh.

Back in the headmaster's chambers, everyone was now in the sitting room
Glynda had Weiss pulled onto her lap and was glaring at Ozpin who had Ruby and Roman pulled up close to him on the love seat. Glynda's glare was returned with that infamous sweet smile Ozpin always seems to wear.
"You had no right to say that Ozpin." Glynda hissed.
"Ah but I did dear Goodwitch," came Ozpin's calm reply, "It was your mate who was at fault, for she had no business in calling my mate such a distasteful word."
"But Weiss calls me a dolt all the time." Ruby inserted only to find herself being pulled closer to Ozpin.
"Oh does she?" came Ozpin's Growled reply.
"Yeah she calls everyone that." Ruby was generally confused.
"While I agree that my mate's vocabulary is I need of improvements, you had no right to make comments on her appearance. Especially on that particular area of her body."
"Well it is not my fault you were given a mate with such small breast, how you ever plan to feed any young with those is beyond me." Ozpin smirked at blonde sitting across from him.
"I DO NOT HAVE SMALL BREAST!" Weiss exclaimed.
"Weiss submit now!" Glynda snapped. Weiss immediately placed her head in the nook of Glynda's neck and softly apologized.
"It appears your mate lacks submission skills"
"Well at least my mate knows what submission is!"
Ozpin's eyes narrowed, "I think it would be best if you and your mate took your leave before we do something we would later regret."
"Certainly, we won't come back into your rooms until you've claimed Miss Rose here." Glynda stood up, still holding the submitting Weiss, and left the apartment.
"You know she didn't mean any of that right?" Roman spook for the first time since breakfast.
Ozpin simply sighed got up and made himself a drink.
"Can someone please explain to me what just happened her? Why was Ozzie being such an arse and what in the world is 'submitting'?" Ruby looked at her mates for answers.
"You really should have taken those classes red." Roman sighed "Well you see in ever matemenship there is a Dominate, no matter if the couple is made up of two partners or six some one is always in charge. That person is charged with keeping their mate or mates safe, well fed, sheltered, and comfortable at all times."
"So I'm guessing that's Ozzie?" Roman nodded.
"Ozzie here is also in charge of protecting us from anything he seems threat full, whether that be a grimm or an ice queen and her mate. He will get very defending of us and do what ever he can to harm the treat. "
"Oh so when Weiss said those mean things about me Ozzie thought he had to protect me?" once again Ro nodded
"In his mind he was keeping you safe. He's going to do that every time danger comes around, which is going to be tough since your training to become a monster killing badass."
"Badass?" Ozpin came back into the room caring a bowl of cereal, a cup of coffee, and a glass of scotch.
"The term seems appropriate seeing your skill and potential love." Ozpin handed Ruby the bowl of cereal and Roman the scotch.
"I already ate Ozzie."
"Yes, but your too small so eat." His voice was stern and Ruby found herself wanting to apologize to Ozzie, so she just bowed her head and ate her cereal.
"Ruby I didn't mean to upset you, I'm not made at you love just concerned" Ozpin pulled Ruby into his lap and wiped her slightly wet eyes.
"I don't know why I got upset, I'm sorry. "Ruby sniffed.
"And that would be the submission your feeling." Roman said.
"He means since I'm Ro and yours dominate, you will have the need to 'bow down' to me. Also anytime you disobey me you'll feel horrible about it; the feeling will only increase once we're completely bonded. Do you know what that means?"
"No."
"Well it means that the dominate of the group will have to fuck his mates into the mattress." Roman spit out his scotch.
"Couldn't you have word that better Ozpin?!"
"But that's exactly what I plan to do. I will first take Ruby then watch as you take her before joining in and taking you from behind."
"I have no idea how to reply to that."
"I never expected you to." Poor Ruby just sat there with her frozen in shock doing a very good impression of a gold fish.
Ok so a longer chapter. Took a lot of time to write but I like making them longer. Any way don't worry about me and my lungs, my mom's a nurse so I'm being cared for. Any way hoped you enjoy and remember reviews make writers happy.
