Healing a Black Rose ch8
The previous night with Ruby and Blake.
Running away Ruby felt many emotions hurt, betrayal, and sorrow being primary. Walking around for a while Ruby started to notice the presence of someone following her without using her semblance Ruby started to pick up pace making complex and misdirecting movements until Ruby dashed into a nearby alley way waiting to find who it was that was following her. Turning around Ruby met her pursuer it was Blake.
"Blake, Why are you here? I wanted to be alone." Exclaimed Ruby curious as to why Blake followed her.
"I wanted to make sure you were alright Ruby." Said Blake genualy concerned for her friend and crush.
"Im fine, Blake." Said Ruby calmer than before with a blush beginning to form.
"Well lets continue, Ruby." Blake gestured for her and Ruby to leave the alley way.
"Continue?" questioned Ruby as to what Blake ment.
"I'm guessing you don't want to head home just yet also we still need to continue our date." Explained Blake.
"Ohh ok." Replied Ruby with her blush completely formed now.
Leaving the alley way Blake and Ruby continued down the street a little ways unsure what to do.
Arriving at a small dust shop called 'From Dust till Dawn' Nearing the shop Ruby stopped thinking back on how she got accepted into Beacon.
"What's wrong Ruby?" Asked Blake curious as to why Ruby stopped.
"This is the store that I stopped Roman from robbing and got me into Beacon." Explaining why she stopped.
"Well I'm Glad Roman tried to rob here."Said Blake
"Why?" Wondered Ruby.
"Otherwise we likely would not be on the same team, and not be where we are now." Blake smiled after saying and looking at the blush forming on Ruby.
"Le..lets continue we should head home." stuttered Ruby, pulling Blake along toward the airships to Beacon.
Arriving at the airships Ruby looked up to a small bulletin board, groning at herself they missed that last transport till morning.
"So what should we do?" Asked Ruby getting Blake's opinion.
"How about a hotel?" Said Blake giving her suggestion.
"That could work but I don't know if we have enough." Said Ruby while digging around in her hand purse.
"Well we can try to find a place first then worry about the money."Said Blake starting to walk back into the city in search of a hotel.
Walking around they found many hotels but all were outside their budget that was until they arrived at one not very big or fancy but nice. Walking in they walked up to the counter that held a small sign on it was special offer where hunters get a discount.
Behind the counter was an elderly woman not so much to be a grandmother but her age was starting to show.
"We would like a room for two and two beds." Asked Blake placing her Hunter ID and some lien on the counter.
"I'm sorry but we don't have any available rooms for two at the moment. If it would be alright I can cut the price of a one person for you instead." Spoke the elderly women displaying a gentle smile.
Turning to Ruby Blake asked "Would that be alright with you?".
"Yes, I'm fine with it if you are." Replied Ruby.
Turning back to the elderly woman Blake said " Alright well take the room." placing the lien on the counter and receiving the room key.
After passing many doors Blake and Ruby found their room. It was room number six entering the room it was a simple and plain room. The walls were speckle white with a bed covered with black sheets and a small sitting area with two lounge chairs and a round table between the chairs and a ceiling light over head. A little farther in was a T.V. Sitting on a large dresser Across from the bed was a door leading to a bathroom. The one unexpected part was how small the bed was only enough room for two and both had to be cuddling
Entering both Ruby and Blake were both visibly nervous unsure what each other should do. Ruby was skitting around the place frantically trying to get comfortable on one if the chairs and the bed. Blake was on the bed quietly drumming her fingers and looking at the ceiling. Both were taking quick glances at each other and when their eyes met every so often they both quickly looked away.
With a similar thought running through their minds ' i'll have to cuddle with Ruby' was Blake's;
'Ill have to cuddle with Blake' was Ruby's.
"I'll go and take a shower first if it's alright with you Ruby?" Asked Blake avoiding direct eye contact.
"Um sure Blake I'll be here waiting." Replied Ruby twiddling her thumbs in her lap.
Blake went to take her shower quickly then it occurred to her after getting out that they had no extra change of clothes. Making her way to the door Blake called out to Ruby.
"Ruby?" cried Blake through the door.
"Yes" Replied Ruby.
"We have a slight problem." Said Blake.
"We dont have any extra clothes." Replied Ruby for each other.
"Ya, so what should we do?" Asked Blake waiting for a reply
"We.. we go without?"Said Ruby in an unsure tone.
"Are you sure?" Asked Blake/
"Yes" Replied Ruby more sure of the decision
Using a towel to cover herself up a little bit Blake walked out and let Ruby take her shower. Before Ruby finished Blake slid into the bed lost in thought on how their date had gone. Exiting the bathroom in a similar manner as Blake, Ruby quickly followed Blake into the bed. After a few awkward moments and touches both found a reasonable position. With both trying to fall asleep
"Hey Blake?" Spoke Ruby wondering if Blake would respond.
"Yes Ruby?" Asked Blake with her eyes close.
"Does this mean we're together?"Asked Ruby unsure if this meant they were a couple.
"Only if you want it to be Ruby."Said Blake nervus that Ruby would not want to.
Ruby shuffled herself a little more to Blake's head level than before Blake could question why Ruby moved in to give Blake a soft and chaste kiss. Breaking away Ruby hid herself away afraid if she went too far. Blake smiled before leaning down to give Ruby a small kiss to her head giving a silent affirmation that they were together. Staying like this for a while then drifting off to sleep.
