It has been almost two weeks since running into the stranger with the white Fang like mask. It was a fate meeting but she couldn't stop thinking of him, she wasn't much of a people person, her heart belonged to the battle and her Crescent Rose but this guy dressed in black and red may have turned her world around.
Ruby would take her time coming home, hoping by chance she'd run into him. She managed to keep the rose he gave her alive and not to add the random rose that came at midnight every other night.
"My dear sister, Who knew you were so interested in flowers, I thought the only interest you had was your weapon!" Yang shouts playfully coming into the room.
"Yang, Don't tease me like that...It happens that I met someone..." Ruby says stepping away from the flower she watered. "And I'm gonna guess Blake's mad at you?"
"Yeah...She's got it in her head that I'm gonna lose control or something...Just like her old partner, Adam...Never mind my issues, You met someone, Is it a boy, My little sister is growing up?!" The blonde haired girl chimed happily jumping up and down holding onto her sister's hands making her jump too.
Ruby pulls away from her. "Stop, Yes it's a boy, It isn't a big deal...Because I'll probably never see him again." She replies.
"His loss, What did the crush look like, Was he dreamy hot, Tell your big sis everything." Yang babbles.
"I've never met anyone like him...He was beautiful, His hair was like a tame dark fire, I never got his name, I never got to see his eyes because of the white and red colored mask he wore to match his black and red clothes." Ruby says.
Her silvers eyes turned to the door that creaked open, she smiled widely seeing the faunus girl, Blake. Yang pulled her in with a wide grin.
"You're just in time Belladonna, Ruby met her possible love at first sight." Yang says.
"I heard everything...You just described my old partner, Adam Taurus..." Blake says ignoring the blonde.
"Adam..." Ruby whispered softly, It felt right, She thought hearing herself speak of the name she just learned.
"You need to forgot about him, He's no good, Ruby..." Blake orders.
"What's the dolt got herself into, Now?" Weiss asks entering the room getting wind of the conversation.
"I just found out Ruby met Adam...He was my old partner in the White fang, he changed so much, darkness over takes him...He leads the White Fang...Stay away from him, It's for your own good." Blake snaps.
"I agree with Blake. Come on Ruby, You should be worrying about the mission not boys." Weiss chimes in, her hands on hips.
"B-But Weiss, You're the one who's always been worried about Neptune liking you or not, You even moped when he didn't take you to the dance, Blake you got Sun and Yang you could have anyone you want with your charm...Why can't I let my heart feel whatever it feels..." Ruby says with a sigh.
"Maybe pick a more good guy like Jaune or something, Sis..." Yang says feeling bad for her sister, it wasn't everyday Ruby was interested in the guy subject.
"Forget it, Fine I'm never gonna see him again anyway, I'm gonna get started on the mission in the forest." She adds grabbing Crescent Rose and walking out.
She runs into a figure, her silver met amber eyes and black hair, Ruby could swear she saw them before, besides the first time running into her and the two she found was Mercury and Emerald.
"Cinder, I'm sorry...I wasn't watching where I was going!" Ruby shouts.
Cinder laughs, It was dark but she knew the shorter girl wouldn't understand, Wouldn't add up that she was the one who broke into the building while everyone danced. "No problem, Oh and Ruby...Follow your heart, Don't let your friends tell you what to do, You're old enough to make your own decisions." With that she walked away, Ruby watched and then made her way to the forest.
For weeks, he's stayed hidden in the distance. His thoughts changed quick from the old faunus girl to the rose he met at school.
"Ruby Rose...I only met her for a short time and yet...I can't get her off my mind." He says.
Every night since then, he'd sneak to the school and keep his distance, watching her and making sure she was safe, he didn't want to get close afraid to taint her innocent red petals, If she were in danger he would step in.
"Why don't you just go take advantage of her already and stop sulking around?" Adam's blood boiled hearing one of Cinder's friends. Mercury speak to him, the way he spoke poorly made him growl lowly.
"Emerald, Take your waste out of here before I send a pack of Grimm to eat what's left of him..." Adam spat.
Emerald jabs Mercury. "Sorry sir Adam, I can't control what rolls out of Mercury, he's a loose cannon, he doesn't know the right words to say...But sir, Why don't you go talk to this girl your heart is set after?" She questions.
Adam turns away keeping his silence, he set off to Beacon, just like every other evening to observe the girl.
"Another slow night, No enemy to be seen once again..." Ruby says wandering the woods.
"Looking for a fight, Little Red...I've been looking for ya, You delivering a basket of goods to grandma?"
Ruby whipped around quickly, her Crescent Rose ready drawn.
"Roman." Ruby says.
"You remember my name, how wonderful. So tell me where's the group?" He asks waving his cane around.
"They're...Right behind..." She lies.
"Oh, And yet I don't see them...I think you lie and I hate being fooled..." Roman replies firing his cane sending orange red dust at her
Ruby does a cartwheel, taking the advantage of moving Crescent Rose into gun mode and send shots at the man, he fights back.
"Still quick on your feet red, my best opponent, perhaps you could join my cause." Roman says.
"Never, I train to protect the world from dirt bags like you." Ruby says, she shrieks as he knocked her off her feet with his cane.
"Too slow." He flings her in the air and into a tree.
Ruby hits the tree and land on the ground, her eyes flutter from open to close but she remembers seeing dark colored shoes stand in front of her, it was unfamiliar and yet familiar at the same.
"White Fang leader, Adam...We meet at last, I'm part of the plan." Roman says smoking a cigar.
"I don't care what part you play, Leave her be or you won't be apart of anything." Adam says.
Roman growls. "I was having fun...But very well, She's all yours." He tips his hat respectfully and walks away.
By the time he turned around, the girl lay sleeping, he kneels to the ground picking her up.
"No harm will come to you now that I have you, My Rose." Adam says kissing the side of her head walking off into the shadows.
