A soft "Oh" escaped the lips of the formerly silent reader, who was lying atop the cot, her nose slowly dropping altitude as it crept closer and closer to the stark monochrome print of a certain black-covered book. "What an interesting book you've got here Blake," she said, her eyes continuing their hurried journey across the pages and fingers prepping to quickly turn as her excitement begin to build, that is, until the tap tapping of feet speeding down the hallway startled her out of the fictional world and instantly put her on high alert due to the fear of suffering the wrath of the book's owner. High alert would not have been enough to save her as a blur of black broke through the door. Luckily for the blonde however, the faunus was too flustered and distracted to notice her quickly shoving the book under her. "Oh hi B-" she started before actually looking up and seeing an abnormal amount of red covering her face and a definitive faraway look in her amber eyes. "Cat got your tongue?" she joked, though her pun was lost as the other girl's blush increased dramatically at the mention of the slimy, warm appendages. "Ruby?" Yang guessed, smiling smugly.
"Ya," replied a voice as it's owner quaked violently from furry ear tips to the soles of her feet. "She… well, she did something distinctly… kinky," she continued with more shivering as her memory ran over the events again.
"You mean like something from your books?" Yang teased, revealing the book previously hidden under her bountiful chest.
"You… you… thief" Blake sputtered somehow managing to brighten her heated cheeks by several more shades as she began chasing Yang around the room with desperate movements, arms occasionally flailing in wild attempts to grab the book. Soon, the challenge of catching Yang begin to overcome her embarrassment and allow her to think clearly enough to use her semblance, jumping away from the shadow clone and into the path of her opponent, who was grinning from ear up ear as she looked back to check on her victim. Only to find the book taken from her grasp as she tripped over a suddenly outstretched leg.
"Rude!" the blonde complained, standing up and dusting herself off.
"Only what you deserved," sniffed the book-loving girl.
"Whatever," Yang said dismissively, "It made you feel better didn't it?"
Admittedly, it had made the cat faunus forget her red problem, "Yes, I guess it did. Thanks Yang." She offered a small smile at her partner, but it quickly did a handstand when she saw the anticipating look about her friend.
"Yeah, that's great and all, buuuuut…. What did Rubes do? What did she do? I have to know! Give me the details! Tell me!" She seemed to grow larger with each completed statement, pressing the faunus into a corner and looming over her. The cat had become the mouse.
"Sh-she was eating ice cream. When sh-"
"Alone? She seemed like she was going out." Yang cut in, her hungry gaze being utterly disfigured into a perplexed one.
"No, she was with that Neo girl." Despite her best efforts, the hint of jealousy peeked through in her words. If only it were her that went on that date with Ruby! "Anyway, so she's eating ice cream right, and then suddenly, she takes this spoon, and… and, she. She…. She takes the spoon and licks it all seductive-like. She stares me in the eyes while she does it. It… It was uh… Hot? Intense? I don't know, but she did that! In public! There were people around!" Once more, the poor cat faunus's face lit up.
"Oh my… Just…. Wow… You know, I didn't think Rubes swung that way, but it appears she does and is actually, much to my disapproval, quite educated in that manner. Where did she learn that?" Yang seemed less concerned about her faunus partner being absolutely embarrassed by the erotic show than the fact that Ruby knew what she was doing and how to do it.
Delicately, the front door swept open. In stepped a certain ice cream-esque girl, behind her, a sadly disassociated Ruby. Neo had her back to the house, looking back at the emotionless Reaper before her as though the red-cloaked leader were a hungry predator. The neapolitan girl took a tentative step back for every predatory advancement her date made.
"What happened, what'd you do?" A controlled statement gave away the anger burning inside the blonde brawler. There are two things that one must never harm if they desire to live when it comes to the Little Dragon, her hair and her little sister.
Turning away from the silent Rose, Neo faced another threat, a burning Yang. Whipping her scroll out, the scared ice cream killer hurriedly typed out, "Ruby been making me blush alo day, I wanted to try amd mske her blush. She got quite, now we're here." Ignoring her spelling mistakes as she valued her life more than her grammar. Heat vanished as the brawler calmed down. However, before the little parasol-wielding assassin could celebrate, she was grabbed by the waist and pulled close to the crimson mute. Her feet were trapped in between two black combat boots; Neo's center of balance was askew, if the protective arms around her midriff were not there, she would fall. As this is the case, their bodies were inevitably, very comfortably, so deliciously close. Their faces 3 centimeters away from each other. Neo could feel the other girls sweet breath on her lips. The faint smell of strawberry coming from the slightly agape mouth before her. Oh how desperately she wanted to claim those teasing lips! She held her ground on the sole fact that only a meter or so behind her was a very jealous cat faunus. Her thoughts were once more focused on the testing Reaper when she felt a hot breath on her lips. Discolored eyes sharpened on a single silver one, there was no clue to be found in it. It wouldn't be her fault if the delicious Ruby kissed her, right? After all, she's the victim here. Blake couldn't possibly hold it against her. Closing her eyes and bracing for the expected kiss… It never came. Cracking one eye open, she saw that same alluring, silver eye, but this time, there was a hint of mirth to be found. Hot blood ran to her cheeks as what happened settled in. She had been expecting a kiss, but was only teased. Right in front of people! She felt herself be straightened, bashfully looking into the lovely Rose's face, she pleaded for an answer.
Ruby stepped back, the only sign of pleasure hidden within the one, murky, silver eye. Her hands danced together, "It's not nice to tease people, little ice cream. See what happens when you grab a rose? Roses have thorns." Whether she blinked or winked, no one could tell. "You'll have to be more delicate next time, otherwise this little rose may end up getting in your skin." She punctuated her last statement by gathering Neo's hands into her own and slightly caressing them. This time, a for sure wink.
Before Neo could revel further in the warmth of the calloused hands around hers, or even blush more at the affectionate actions she received, they ended. Hands dropped to her side as the Rose let go.
Yang stood with her jaw dropped. Her partner with unbridled jealousy and anger in her amber eyes. Those feelings quickly dispersed when wind blew by her and petals drifted to the ground, signalling her leader's close proximity. At once, the images from earlier today flashed through her mind as she could only stare into the vortex-like, silver eye before her. Quickly, her face became unbearably warm. She covered her face in her hands to hide her embarrassment. The scent of strawberry and roses grew stronger for a moment before she felt warm breath against her ear. "Don't worry kitty cat, I haven't forgotten about you. I never did thank you for keeping me warm last night. Why don't you come by again and I will show you how grateful I am." It whispered in a monotonous promise. Blake's face flushed darker. Did she really just suggest that! Daring to remove her hands from her face, she saw that Ruby was signing with Neo. A sigh of relief and disappointment came from her lungs. Foolishly glancing over at her partner, she suddenly wished she could disappear. Yang had a stupid grin on her face and a knowing thumbs up to go along with it.
"I will talk to you later, ok? Be sure to text me if you get into any trouble and when you get home." Ruby's hands conveyed to the mute ice cream girl.
Neo nodded in understanding, a slight blush tickling her cheeks at the prospect of Ruby worrying about her. "I will… Love you." The blush multiplied! It was now as scarlet as her crush's cloak! "Sorry, that just slipped out. I mean. I do, but I don't want to make things awkward or anything because I really like you and -" Her floundering hand motions were brought to an end as, once more, calloused ones took them into their own. Neo was pulled slightly. She was close, but not that close to Ruby. Staring in silent anticipation and worry as to what may happen next. The latter feeling became utterly annihilated as she felt soft lips press against her cheek and arms wrap around her body. A voice, ever so lightly laced with concern whispered to her, "It's ok… Drive safe now." She nodded dumbly and walked to the door, hand idly rubbing at where she had been kissed. As her foot stepped outside, a broad grin stretched across her features. She said next time! And that it's ok! That means that I can "score" with the beautiful and dangerous Rose. She did a fist pump in the air to signal her victory and then made her way to her van. Smile never leaving her face.
An amused light twinkled deep within that soulless silver eye as she witnessed the Ice Cream Killer's little celebration. It watched the van drive away and then closed the door. Turning to face her sister and teammate, a mischievous glint overtook the amused one. For an instant, it made contact with an amber gaze. It winked at them, and they looked away with burning cheeks. Before she could move onto her next move, she felt the familiar, bone-crushing hug of her sister.
"I knew you got game, but that was just legendary!" Yang cradled her with a proud smirk. Just as quickly as the affectionate and friendly action had happened, it stopped. The blonde brawler jumped back slightly, a frown on her face. "S-sorry, I just… I was just happy and-"
Ruby's arms snaked around her sister and pulled her close into a loving hug. "I'm sorry too."
Dumbfounded, Yang was frozen for a moment. After several moments, a warm smile graced her lips and she returned the hug. They stayed like that for a few more seconds before the shutter of a camera broke the silence.
Three eyes looked at her. She looked back with a deer-in-the-headlights expression. The sound was on?! I am so dead! Bracing herself to run, Blake tensed her legs. Ready to pounce in any direction to make her escape. She was surprised when the melodic laughter of her partner came instead.
"Guess that only serves me right, I mean," Yang took out her scroll, she tapped a few times on the holographic screen before showing it to Blake. "I have my own collection." On the screen were rows and rows of pictures. Pictures of Blake and Ruby cuddling, hugging, holding hands… The list went on and on.
The cat faunus's eyes widened at the extensive collection in front of her eyes. Ready to swipe the phone away from the brawler and delete the embarrassing evidence, her plan never made it action phase as the sound the front door unlocking distracted her.
"I'm home, exhausted, and distraught. I'm going to shower and sleep, please be quiet." An Icy Heiress appeared in the opened doorway, her shoulders slumped and a drained look on her face. Her eyes were almost as lifeless as her leader's. Almost. However, life was suddenly brought into her, and the rest of those in the room by the red girl's surprising action.
A flurry of rose petals and suddenly, Weiss was in a tight hug. It lasted just long enough for the Ice Queen to come to her senses when another mind-numbing action occurred. Similar to what happened to the particular cold sweets girl, Ruby pecked Weiss on the cheek. "Feel better?"
Much like the mute girl, Weiss nodded dumbly in the affirmative.
"Good." Ruby turned to address the others in the room, shock still forestalling their mental capacity. "I am going to shower first." She directed her gaze to Blake, "The door will be unlocked." A third flurry of rose petals was left the three members of WBY. These ones were a livelier shade of red. Not quite the same shade as Weiss's and Blake's blush, but definitely becoming less black and more ruby.
