"I think that went rather well," Ruby said as she leaned back against the headrest.
Her girlfriend May wrapped an arm around her torso and hugged her naked form. "Eh, it was alright."
Ruby glared down at her. "I was talking about you meeting my friends."
"Ohh," May feigned realization before giving Ruby a cheeky grin. "Then I agree with you."
Ruby shook her head before smiling. "So, what did you think of them?"
"Let's see. Your sister, in spite of her puns, was fun. Your friends was very polite, though it did seem forced at times."
"Yeah, she generally goes into "prim-and-proper"-mode when talking to strangers."
"Amber is probably the most adorable little thing I've ever met. I mean, my god, most little kids I see annoy the hell out of me, but she is a treasure."
"I know, right?! The little darling is just a ray of sunshine!" They both laughed before descending into silence, knowing what was coming next. "So," Ruby finally broke the silence, "what did you think of Blake?"
May took a deep breath. Blake had been the true test of the evening. Once Ruby had decided to make things more serious between the two of them, she told May about her relationship with Blake. Or, lack thereof more like. May had listened. And by the end of it all, she'd hated Blake. Hated this woman who had blindly caused so much suffering for Ruby. She really wanted to throttle her at that point, but Ruby calmed her down.
"It's not Blake's fault I fell in love with her," she'd argued. "And it's not her fault for being straight."
May understood, but still had some reservations towards Blake. So, she agreed to meet Blake, along with Ruby's other friends, and reevaluate what kind of person she was.
The first thing she'd noticed was how stunning she was. From her flowing black hair to her shimmering golden eyes to her slender, yet curvy, figure, Blake was absolutely gorgeous. May immediately saw how Ruby could get so infatuated with her. Still...
"She was very reserved. I mean, I know you said she was a bit of an introvert but, wow. She barely said anything and almost never made eye-contact. It's like she was very uncomfortable being there."
"I know what you mean. She was acting really strange, like she wasn't herself. I don't really know what was going on either."
May hummed in response, then lifted her hand and gently ran her fingers across Ruby's black eye, making her flinch. "How bad is it?"
"It still stings, but most of the pain has died down by now."
"I'm glad." May wrapped her arm back around Ruby. "You know, it was really brave of you to stand to the man like that. Especially since you already knew what he was capable of."
"That's exactly why I did it! I wasn't gonna let him anywhere near Blake or Amber!"
May smiled. She admired Ruby. She would not hesitate to do what was right. She'd seen this before, in smaller instances. Helping an old woman cross the street, finding a girl's lost teddy. Even when they first met at the coffee shop a few weeks back, when May had realized she forgot her wallet, Ruby had offered to pay for her. May had never seen anything like that happen before. She had already developed a bit of a crush for the woman then and there and was all to happy to agree to a date when asked.
"I just hope I'll be able to get along well with your friends. You seem really close."
"Hey." Ruby gave her a soft squeeze. "Don't you worry. They're great gals. You'll get along just fine."
May smiled and closed her eyes as she nuzzled into Ruby. "Yeah, I'm sure everything will be fine."
A/N: Short, I know. This is just meant to set up their relationship a bit. Hopefully, I'll have more for you soon. Anyway, thanks for reading, leave a review if you are so inclined and have a nice day.
