Healing a Black Rose p3
It had been about three more days until Ruby was able to leave, in that time Blake had baked cookies read over a dozen books, and spent the night with Ruby two of the three times. Ruby was finally back at Beacon, being surrounded by her classmates and team. Ruby still had to take it easy to let the wound recover, but now could go to class and walk around. Blake was always by Ruby's side, helping her in everything ,from carrying things,waking Ruby up, or simply being near Ruby.
At first Ruby thought, It was just Blake being a great teammate, but after a bit, it was starting to get annoying and a bit weird. Blake was never far away and would pop up at odd times when Ruby needed something. Luckily at this moment Blake had a class that Ruby was not a part of so got some time to herself, that was until her sister Yang entered with a crash by kicking the door open. After Yang made her way to her own bed,
Ruby asked "What is up with Blake?, she's been a good friend and teammate but lately its getting weird."
"You really can't see it Ruby?, Blake is pretty much on her hands and knees because you saved her life." Said Yang.
"No way, anyone would do that in my shoes to save a teammate." Said Ruby,
"Sure some people would,but Blake is the type of person to repay something like this, in any way possible." Said Yang.
This left Ruby thinking for a while of how Blake was treating her the past couple of days, this ended when the door opened to let in both Blake and Weiss, Weiss made her way over to her bed to rest on,Blake asked if Ruby wanted help with anything then made her way to the desk in the room and started to read with a glass of water. Everyone stayed like this for better part of an hour, then Yang got up to make her way to the gym, Weiss after resting, made her way to the school's library. This left Ruby and Blake alone in the room, Ruby finally got up to ask Blake the question on her mind,
"Have you been treating me this way because I saved you?",
This question caught Blake off guard a bit, Blake stumbled around a bit, before forcing down a a drink of water. Blake's eyes darted around looking for a way out, realizing she had no way out, Blake decided to answer truthfully,
"Yes, I have been trying to repay you for it.", looking away hiding her scarlet red face,
"You don't have to!"spoke Ruby in a raised voice, that startled both Ruby and Blake.
"But I need to, I feel I have to repay you some how for it." Said Blake,
"No you don't Blake a friend should not need to repay another." Said Ruby,
"I can't help it you saved my life Ruby, I have to, so please let me." Said Blake,
" Well if I can't convince you, how about a deal?" Asked Ruby,
"A deal?" Blake responded,
"Yes, tomorrow you will do what I request, after you can't feel you owe me any more, will that be alright." Asked Ruby with a cheery smile.
"That, I suppose would work, alright." Said Blake with a smile,
After their agreement Ruby went off to find Yang or Weiss, Blake was in the room satisfied that she and Ruby could come to an agreement, Yang barged in looking worn out and tired from her workout.
"So how did talking it out with Ruby go?" Asked Yang,
"It went well, we have come to an agreement." Answered Blake,
"So you agreed to letting Ruby request things of you tomorrow then you guys call it fair?" Asked Yang,
"Yes, how did you know?" asked Blake,
"I ran into Ruby in the hall, she told me all about it."Said Yang, with a mischief smile.
"She seems very excited about it so try to keep up." Said Yang,
"Keep up?" questioned Blake,
"Ya, she probably has a list of what to do for tomorrow by now." Answered Yang,
At this Blake gulped, slightly frightened at what deal she had made, Blake went back to reading her book, but could not help but imagine what Ruby had planned for them tomorrow, Blake finally getting curious went to find Ruby.
Blake looked all over before figuring Ruby was with Weiss in the library, Blake turning the corner saw Ruby sitting across from Weiss, getting in ear shot of them Blake heard,
"But Weiss, I need ideas so both me and Blake will have a good time." Said Ruby,
"Ya, but did you both not agree that she would do what you asked ?" Asked Weiss,
"True but I still want Blake to some what enjoy this as well." Answered Ruby,
"Fine, I'll give some suggestions as to a few locations." Said Weiss,
Blake feeling that she should not hear this part left before gathering any information on what would happen tomorrow, as it was getting late Ruby and Weiss arrived back at the dorm, Blake was reading on her bed, Yang was listening to music on her scroll. Weiss went to bathroom to prepare for bed, Ruby went to her bed and gathered some things for herself when she could prepare to go to sleep. Weiss came out and Ruby went in, Blake remembered to retrieve a book that Ren borrowed leaving to do as such. Yang and Weiss were left in the room, they both gave each other knowing glances.
"So Ruby is going on a date with Blake." Said Weiss,
"yep." responded Yang,
"Should we help them? Asked Weiss,
"Not yet if they can't figure it out tomorrow then we get involved ." Said Yang
a bit after they finished talking, Ruby finished getting ready for the night and Blake came back, Saying goodnight to each other, all of them eager for what tomorrow could bring.
