I've gone too long without an update and I'm trying harder not to let it happen again. It's not fair to you guys TT^TT Mama doesn't want her babies to be sad! Strange comments aside, here's the next chapter. Enjoy!
Blake POV
"Come ooonnnn, guys! It's Friday night, and we're all inside like a bunch of weirdoes. Everyone else is in Vale!" I snuggled back against Yang and shook my head at Nora.
"Not true." She rolled her eyes, aggravated.
"That skeezy guy who beats off in Grimm Studies is not a person. He's a freak, there is a difference." Ren laughed and patted her leg with his left hand, still typing on his scroll with his right.
"You have a point, but I think most of us would rather spend time with friends here than go out into the crowded streets of Vale right now." Nora leaned on his shoulder, pouting.
"With friends? You're not even really here! You only want to stay because you want to finish writing your fortieth chapter." Ren grinned at her.
"Five thousand reviews! Can you believe it? They must like how the story's developing." Jaune snorted.
"I've read that story. People don't care about the plot, they're only there for the lemons." Ren paused, offended.
"Hey! That's not true! I'll admit that there's quite a bit of. . .canoodling, but it's actually significant to the plot!" Yang laughed and pulled out her scroll, clearing her throat to read aloud.
"I, Lelouch Vi Britania, command you. . .fuck me!'" She deepened her voice and continued. "You of all people know that your geass won't work on me twice, Lelouch.' Lelouch laughed and shook his head slowly. 'I'm not going to use my geass, Suzaku, you'll do it of your own free will.' The soldier scoffed. 'Don't hold your breath.' In response, the former prince chuckled, whipping out his gigantic, rock-hard, eleven-inch-"
"See?!" Jaune exclaimed, gesturing at Yang. Ren shrugged.
"See what?" Jaune made a frustrated noise.
"Come on, man! It's not the plot that gets the readers! It's the yaoi and the canoodling! Face it, dude, most of your reviewers are female!" Ren scoffed.
"None of those statements are even remotely true." Yang piped up again, giggling lightly.
"YaoiGurl5 said: OMG! So hot!1! wnt 2 c more!" Ren protested, but Yang kept talking. "futaBaBe3 said: O yeah, stuff him full Lulu!" Ruby tried to smother her giggles with her hands, but we could still hear them. "hEntaImAmA48 said: oh yeah, i've gt a nosebleed so hard right now! more plz!, and RainBroCa$h69 said: Now this I can totally fap to! Shall I go on?" Ren grumbled and went back to typing.
"Case in point," Jaune said triumphantly. "Without the canoodling, there's no story!"
"Erm, what's the title of this story again?" Nora inquired casually, her face as red as a tomato.
"Why is everyone saying canoodling?" Pyrrha asked, looking extremely confused.
"Um, I don't think we should-" I was cut off by Yang.
"Code Gay-ass." Ruby finally lost control and started full out laughing, kicking her heels against the ground and clutching her belly.
"Oh wow," She gasped. "That never gets old!"
"Neither does canoodling!" Jaune gasped, laughing as well. Pyrrha sighed.
"There's that word again." Weiss smirked and shifted Ruby's head to a more comfortable position on her lap. She scanned the room with her bright blue eyes.
"So, what are we gonna do?" Yang chuckled and I rolled my eyes. Uh-oh, not this again.
"Yang, no." I warned, but she ignored me.
"We could," She hesitated like she was reluctant to say it. "We could play. . .the Elephant game."
"NO!" Weiss snapped, glaring at Yang so hard that I thought she might have been trying to set her on fire. "I will not be subjected to that torture anymore!" Ruby giggled.
"I think you should play until you figure it out." Weiss crossed her arms, fuming silently, but she didn't object. Yang laughed, taking this as a sign to continue.
"Welllll. . .if there are ten elephants reading Ren's smut," Ren muttered something about plot, but Yang ignored him. "Four elephants dancing on Nora's head, and twelve elephants frustrating Weiss, how many elephants could fill up and inflate Weiss's big-ass ego and temper?" Everyone winced, but Weiss ignored the jibe and answered anyway.
"Five." Yang laughed and fingered the hem of my shirt.
"Um, no. The answer is fourteen." Weiss growled and lapsed into angry silence. Her jaw tightened and she refused to look at anyone.
"Weiss?" Ruby looked concerned. "Aw, come one, sweetie, it's just a joke!" Weiss dumped her girlfriend's head off her lap and stood. She stomped away, presumably to go fume somewhere else.
"You guys suck." Ruby scrambled after her.
"Oh, come on, Weiss! We were just. . .Baby, please come back! Please?!" Weiss simply slammed the door behind her. Ruby sighed and left to go after her.
"Well," Ren said after a pregnant pause. "That was an unmitigated disaster." Nora sighed, shaking her head at Yang.
"That was mean, Yang, you should apologize to her." Yang nodded reluctantly.
"You're right." She stood, pulling me up with her. She adopted the sugary sweet tone she always gets when she wants something. "Blake, sweetums?"
"No." I said bluntly. I didn't even have to hear the question. I knew what she wanted. She wanted me to 'help' her apologize. . .and by 'help' she meant that I would say it and she would nod along.
She squeezed me closer.
"Whyyyy?" She whined. I pried her arms from around my waist and turned to face her, pointing my finger in her face.
"Because you need to apologize. I'll go with you, but I won't apologize for you." She pecked me on the lips happily.
"Ehehe~ thank you Blaaaaaaake!"She sang. I sighed and followed her as she skipped away.
"See ya, guys." I said, flashing team JNPR the peace sign as I left. They smiled and said their farewells to us before going back to their previous activities.
Ruby POV
"Weiss? Come on, she was just kidding! Weiss?" I paused and stood perfectly still, listening for any clue that she was nearby. I closed my eyes and concentrated hard, listening for anything that would lead me to her. Nothing.
Just as I was about to give up, I heard the sound of a shoe scuffing against the floor. I squeezed my eyes closed tighter and listened with all my might. Where did it come from? I was wound up tighter than a stretched rubber band by the time the hand touched my shoulder.
"AHHH!" I screeched, scared shitless.
"AHHHHH!" Screamed my unwitting offender. I calmed upon seeing who it was, feeling slightly embarrassed about being scared by her in the first place.
"Oh, hi Velvet." She dipped her head and glanced around.
"Hello. Are you okay?" I nodded and glanced back down the hallway, in the direction I came.
"Yeah, have you seen Weiss anywhere?" She thought for a moment, then shook her head. I fidgeted, unsure how to ask the next question.
"Do you think you could use your. . .enhanced abilities to help me?" She blinked, the flushed.
"R-really?" I nodded.
"I could really use your help." She nodded, smiling.
"I'll do my best!" I sighed in relief.
"Thanks, Velvet, I appreciate it." After a few moments, she pointed down the hallway.
"This way."
We stopped outside of an abandoned classroom, and Velvet nodded.
"This is it." I thanked her and went in alone. I tread lightly, afraid to make too much noise, lest I scare her off. I heard a soft sound coming from the back end of the room, at the top of the seats. I looked up and there she was, sitting in the back row with her head resting in her arms.
"Weiss?" She didn't move, didn't look at me. I approached her cautiously, calling out softly "Weiss?" Her shoulders shook with quiet sobs and I sat next to her, laying a hand on her shoulder. She flinched and scooted away. "Weiss I'm sorry, I shouldn't have let her tease you that way, but it was just a joke."
"Dammit, Ruby, that's not even what this is about!" I was genuinely surprised.
"What?" She sat up and glared miserably at me.
"Geez, you're so. . .ugh." That hurt, but I didn't say anything, it wasn't about me at the moment. Her eyes widened and she moved back toward me. "Oh! No, Ruby, I was going to say you're so innocent." That was a relief. She swiveled so that she was straddling the bench and I did the same.
"Okay, so what's wrong?" She sighed and looked down.
"It's stupid." I grabbed her hands.
"I don't care. It made you cry so I'm going to fix it." She smiled at me and squeezed my hands gently.
"Alright. To be honest, I-I don't even care about the stupid game. It's just that. . .Well, everyone gets the joke but me, and I feel left out. . .alone." My heart started to ache at the depth of the sadness in her tone.
"Oh, Weiss. . .I'm so sorry, I didn't know." She nodded.
"I know, I just couldn't say anything in front of everyone. It would be too embarrassing." I leaned in and kissed her gently on the lips.
"I know." She smiled briefly, then looked down.
"It's because, well, I was always alone as a child. There were never any kids to hang out with. I was an only child raised and surrounded by older people. I always got what I wanted. Always. Do you know how frustrating that can be?" I had to bite my lip to keep from interrupting.
"No matter what I asked for, no matter how expensive or ridiculous, it was given to me. When I finally went to my first public school, all the kids just saw me as some rich, spoiled brat. The only reason anyone even pretended to be friends with me was because of my family's money. So I became the smart rich girl who never talked casually with anyone.
I never really had a real friend until I met you. I couldn't imagine anyone truly wanting to befriend me. I never even began to imagine that anyone would want to be romantically involved with me." She looked up at me, tears flowing down her cheeks. "You're the most important thing in my life, Ruby. What I mean to say is. . .I-I love you." Suddenly it was very hard to breathe.
Even though we'd been dating for quite a while now (hell I'd even proposed to her) this was her first time saying anything like that to me. I'd always known it, always imagined her saying it, but it was another thing entirely to hear it for real.
"Weiss. . .I. . .I love you too!" Now I was crying. She wrapped her arms around me and we held each other tightly. Her chest pressed against mine and her breath was loud in my ears. A tight coil of heat began to build in my belly. "Weiss. . ." She held me tighter.
"Yes?" I brought my mouth down to kiss her neck. She shivered and clutched me tighter still.
"Weiss, I want you." She trembled slightly as I began to suck lightly on her neck.
"R-right now? H-here?" I smiled.
"Yes, Weiss, right now, right here." I moved my hands down to her thighs and lifted her onto the table.
"R-Ruby! I don't think we should-" I silenced her with a heated kiss.
"Riiiight." I said sarcastically. "You're just soaking wet because you're thinking about all the elephants we could be counting now." She looked away, blushing. "You're even wetter than usual." I smirked at her. "You like the idea of doing it here, don't you?" She blushed harder and nodded a bit. I laughed. "Weiss you naughty, naughty girl!" I pushed her down flat and climbed up on top of her.
"B-but Ruby, s-someone might s-see us!" I slid her jacket off and began to undo her combat skirt.
"And that's what makes it exciting, no?" She arched her back when my teeth I began to pull her bra down with my teeth.
"Ah! Y-your teeth! Th-they grazed my-" I laughed teasingly.
"Oh, I know. And before I forget, you should know that the trick is counting the number of words in the end question."
Worry not Pink lovers! I shall continue it next chapter. I honestly can't wait myself. The role reversal makes it that much more fun for me. I really love the idea of Weiss being one of those girls who likes the idea of being watched. Dunno why, just do. Ugh, the Elephant Game pissed me off for the longest. I didn't even figure it out, I just googled it. Lol, I'm such a cheater. Till next time guys!
