Author's Note:
Whoo! Two updates two days in a row! I hope you like it because it's probably never happening again.
Okay so this one is set in the Future!AU that funblade and amipai on tumblr made. Weiss is 30, Ruby is 28, Theo is 3.
I actually had this idea awhile back before the White Rose family was formed but I figured that it would be easier to write this as a Future!AU fic than have to come up with my own kid. ._. So this is me being lazy.
Anyway, enjoy the fluff!
{Some things may go and some stay the same; In just another oh oh, oh ordinary day}
Weiss was getting ready to cook breakfast (a perfect opportunity since Theo was still asleep and out of her hair) when the front door creaked open and clicked shut a moment after. Heavy footsteps trailed to the kitchen and she looked up in time to see her wife standing there, her drawstring bag clutched in her hand, dirt staining where it had been dragged across the ground. Weiss returned Ruby's blinding grin and ran to her, throwing herself into her arms. Ruby dropped her bag just in time to catch her, taking a step back to account for the sudden new weight.
"Welcome home."
Ruby kissed the crown of her head, squeezing her with a strong grip. "Thanks. It's good to be back again." She pulled away and held Weiss out at arm's length, smiling warmly at the mist blue eyes that gazed adoringly up at her. "Is Theo asleep?"
"Yeah and I was just about to –"
"Great!" She cut Weiss off, lunging forward to grab onto her wrist before pulling her through the house to their room. All the way up Weiss had remained silent, too stunned to inquire what Ruby was doing, but once the door to their room had closed and Ruby began to unlace her corset, she began to sputter uncontrollably.
"Ruby! What are you doing? I know you just got home but Theo could wake up at any moment now and…" She trailed off, face red and burning as her wife stripped herself of her long-sleeved shirt and her skirt next, her arms reached back as she began to work at the clasps of her bra. "Ruby!"
Said woman had just shrugged of her bra and sat on the bed to untie her boots. However, she took a moment to scoff at her wife's concerns, making an obvious show of rolling her eyes before returning to her task. "Oh relax. I just need you to rub my back." She raised her head, a prominent pout on her lips as she batted her eyelashes and gave Weiss her best puppy eyes. "It hurts really bad."
Weiss heaved a sigh of relief and walked over to the bed, motioning for Ruby to lie on her stomach as her heated face cooled down. "What happened? You didn't do something stupid did you?"
"Of course not!" Ruby protested as she flipped onto her front and settled her head on top of her crossed arms. "I…I just keep forgetting I'm not fifteen anymore. My body doesn't move the way it used to."
"Ruby you're twenty-eight, not forty." Weiss crawled onto the bed straddling Ruby's hips and sitting on the back of her thighs as she began to rub her hands over her back, kneading her fingers and knuckles in the particularly tense spots. Her wife shifted and sighed underneath her, closing her eyes in bliss as the tension began to lift from her body as Weiss' hands worked.
"Yeah but I'm closer to forty than I am fifteen."
Weiss rolled her eyes and paused to lean down and peck Ruby's shoulder. "Well I'm two years older than you. So by saying that you're old are you implying I am as well?"
Ruby smiled sleepily, sinking further into the mattress as the heiress' soft hands glided across her back, digging into just the right areas and making the pain disappear within moments. She felt her muscles loosen and her body felt heavier and heavier with each passing second and soon enough her eyes drooped closed and refused to open.
"You came to your own conclusion on that one."
"Yet you aren't denying it."
An unnecessarily loud yawn came from the huntress. "Details."
Weiss chuckled at Ruby's tired and bleary state and leaned down to trail kisses between her shoulder blades when the door behind them creaked open. She whipped around to see a mop of white hair peeking into the room, tiny fists rubbing at sleep-filled eyes. Clutched to chest was his stuffed octopus that Ruby had gotten for him upon her return from one of her hunts, the button eyes loose and patches of thinning material from how much he slept with it and dragged it around. Sliding off of Ruby, Weiss sat on the edge of the bed and held her arms open to him to which he immediately responded by padding across the floor, climbing onto her lap and snuggling into her chest. His unruly hair tickled her chest and she brought a hand up to smooth it down.
"Good morning, sleepyhead."
He lifted his head and looked up at her with those familiar silver eyes, shining with the same intensity as her wife's. "Mornin', Mama." He cast his glance to the side and all previous signs of his morning grogginess disappeared upon seeing Ruby lying on the bed, still topless and dozing. "Mommy!" He wriggled out of Weiss' arms and jumped onto Ruby's back with a bright smile and glistening eyes, prompting a pained hiss from her. Weiss reached over and plucked Theo off of her and placed him back in her lap.
"Theo! Be careful! Mommy's back hurts."
His face fell. "It hurt?"
Weiss sighed and kissed his forehead. She didn't mean to shout; it was a jerk reaction that she could never get rid of it seemed. "Yes, Theo. It hurts."
Without a word, Theo took his stuffed octopus and set it down on Ruby's back, it's threaded, crooked smile and loose button eyes staring back at him. He slid down from Weiss' lap to the floor and pointed a stern finger at his toy. "Watch." Then he turned around and ran out of the room on his short legs, leaving a chuckling Weiss and a disgruntled Ruby to themselves.
Ruby lifted her head and blinked. "What just happened?"
"Your son."
She nodded and smiled. "So Little Man's awake now?"
"It would seem that way."
Little footsteps thudded to their room, Theo throwing open the door again as he ran to the bed, a box of band aids clutched tightly in his chubby hands. He climbed onto the bed, the box of band aids making this task slightly more difficult, and crawled over so that he sat next to Ruby. He pulled one of the band aids from the box, clumsily ripped it open and placed the band aid right in the middle of Ruby's back before bending over to place a sloppy kiss right on top of it. Weiss watched all of this with an amused smile and Ruby could only blink as her son looked at her with such sad, silver eyes.
"Boo-boo better?"
A light, airy laughter left Ruby in a rush of air and she sat up to encase Theo in her arms, squeezing him tighter. "Yes, all better. Thanks buddy."
Weiss smiled fondly at the two, watching as Theo wrapped his arms around Ruby's side and buried his face into her chest…
"Ruby! Your shirt!"
