Ruby woke at a shrill sound. She rolled over in her soft bed and brought her hand down on her alarm clock. She had a pounding headache.
Wait...how'd she get in her bed? The last thing she remembered was storming into the bar down the street, not wanting to deal with Yang and her boxing, then it's all foggy. She remembered vaguely meeting a beautiful woman, but not really much more after she sat at the bar.
As the young girl in red tried to remember what had happened, she heard her door slowly creep open and someone walk inside her room. She knew from the heavy footsteps that it was Yang, trying to be quiet. The blonde haired boxer was never good at that.
Ruby's eyes fluttered open and she watches as her sister walks over to the nightstand and gently put down a glass of water and two white pills. Then she noticed the crimsonette looking at her with one eye, her head still pressed into her pillow though.
"Hey there Rubes...how ya feeling?"
Ruby groaned, despite Yang's attempts to be quiet. "Ah...not so loud...I have a pounding headache."
"That's called a hangover, little sis. Sit up for a moment."
"No…"
Yang sighed and gently took her sister. Despite her muscular build, she was very gentle when it came to her little sister. Ruby groaned in pain as she was moved, she left a pill being pushed against her lips, followed by the cool touch of a glass. She took the pill and swallowed it, chasing it down with a cool sip of water.
Yang smiled and gently let her sister rest again. The little white pill was something the blonde haired girl's doctor prescribed for when she gets beat up in the ring. It would just make the athletic girl numb and drowsy for a few hours. But for her little sister, it usually makes her fall asleep for a few hours, long enough to go past the worst part of a hangover.
Yang gently Ruby's head as she drifted off to sleep, a small smile playing at her lips. Then she stood and snuck back out.
Yang locked the door to the Xiao Long/Rose apartment, off to go for her morning exercise routine while her sister slept. She jogged down the stairs and started on her way, jogging down the street to the gym she trained at. She wore an orange sports bra and black shorts, with yellow running shoes on. Her hair refused to cooperate but the wild girl didn't care. She ran free and wild and she loved it. Almost as much as she loved boxing.
She finally came to a stop at the gym and found a familiar face. A girl with white hair and white clothes, standing like a princess in front of the gym.
"Hey there Weiss-y~!" Yang called out happily.
The girl in white turned around and sighed, her arms crossed. She was Weiss Scheen, the heiress to a local shipping company, the sponsor to the local boxing ring.
Weiss was allowed to work out at the gym and box in unofficial matches, but no one would ever actually fight her for fear of pissing off her father and being kicked out. That is until Yang jumped onto the scene and challenged the first boxer she met. Just their luck that Yang ran head first into Weiss, almost literally. After their first match, where Yang swiftly beat her before the end of the first match with a knockout and gave her a nasty scar on her eye from where she hit the rope and bar, a boxing match between the two girls became a weekly event, even though the match was one sided from big hefty Yang who had grown up with street fighting versus little petite Weiss who was always sheltered by her father. The two were instant rivals, but quickly became fast friends. Eventually they had to change their matches to once a month to make way for school and Yang's other careers, so now they work out together.
Weiss watched the girl jogged up the stairs like a little puppy. "Slow down Yang, Tusken will probably kill you if you tripped and hurt yourself."
Yang put on a frown and snorted. "Worrywart. Come on, we have a workout to do."
The blonde haired girl patted the white haired girl on the shoulder, nearly knocking her over. Then with a mischievous smile she skips inside. Weiss rolled her eyes and she followed her dear friend and rival.
"I bet I can bench more than you~" Yang teased.
"Bet denied," Weiss said simply as they entered the weight room.
Yang laughed and put her bag down by the bench press. She set the weights and laid back. Weiss stood over her as a spotter, though she couldn't do much if that heavy metal bar fell.
"So what happened last night?" Weiss wondered as she watched Yang, trying not to stare.
Yang shook her head and rested the bar above her. "I'm supposed to talk while lifting."
Weiss looked down at Yang in surprise as she continued her reps. That was the rule yes, but that never stopped Yang when it was just the two of them. Weiss closed her eyes and thought for a moment before reaching down and taking the heavy bar from Yang, returning it to its place with a heave and a gasp. "Yang Xiao Long...what happened?"
Yang sat up slowly. "I found Ruby at the bar...drunk…swaying just like…" the blonde haired girl stopped, though Weiss didn't know why.
Weiss sat beside Yang and smiled. "Hey relax, she's not gonna become a drunkard from one bad night."
"I don't understand why she ran off."
Weiss looked at Yang. They all knew why she ran off last night. Yang was boxing and winning. Weiss watched as Ruby ran off as Yang almost mercilessly pounded on her opponent. Yang was pretending, not wanting to think about that possibility.
"Well, she's safe now, so calm down Yang."
The yellow haired girl nodded and stood, stretching a little. Then she picked up her back and sighed. "Come on...let's go spar in the ring."
Weiss smiled and nodded, and the two went to the boxing ring upstairs in the gym.
