Chapter 1: 7 Years of us. Blake and Ruby
Hello everyone! TheShadowKittyCat here! I'm happy for all of the one shot requests, all of them! I want to thank you all for requesting and I will write them as soon as possible, with moving and school I may be a little busy but will do my best!
The song is 7 years by Lukas Graham.
This first one was requested by Star-The-Writer a Blake X Ruby or should I say ladybug. I hope you all enjoy! As always stay shiny.
Once I was seven years old, my mama told me,
"Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely."
Once I was seven years old
It was a big big world, but we thought we were bigger
Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker
By eleven smoking herb and drinking burning liquor
Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure
The screams they echoed louder than the others, it made the Faunus' blood run cold. 'Run away, you know you want to.' Blake forced her way killing any Grimm in her sights ignoring the yells of the others. 'What are you doing… you're the reason this is happening.' Her whole body felt numb probably from the lack of aura.
'Remember students that once your aura hits red it's the best option it to likely move away and recover from your fight.'
Pushing herself she sliced into a Beowulf giving the best uppercut she could manage with gambol shroud cutting the Grimm in half. Her legs gave out sending her to the ground her heart beating in her chest. 'No, get up!' She screamed in her head trying to force herself up managing slowly. 'Tsk tsk never learn now do we.'
She heard it again, the scream. This time it sounded painful, louder than the last. 'No!' Blake thought running again slowly than she could normally do. 'I love you kitten.'
She rounded a corner almost falling to her knees at the sight.
'Look at what you've done. Why me?'
Blake felt her blood boil his blood red eyes peered through his mask as he grinned at her pulling his sword out of her… she wasn't moving.
"Why hello my love." He said an evil grin on his face.
Once I was eleven years old, my daddy told me,
"Go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely."
Once I was eleven years old
I always had that dream, like my daddy before me
So I started writing songs, I started writing stories
Something about that glory just always seemed to bore me
'Cause only those I really love will ever really know me
"Her systems are failing! We need to get the metal out of her!" Doctors yelled rushing the injured women down the hall. "Ma'am I need you to stay out here." The nurse said holding back the Faunus as she watched the bed disappear around a corner. Blake felt her heart pound more. "But please I'm her fiancé, please let me go with her!" She screamed trying to go around the nurse.
"No you can't, she's going into surgery. I promise she'll be safe!" The nurse argued back struggling to hold back the women. "Blake! Stop!" Yang said grabbing onto the Faunus hugging her. "No Yang! I need to be with her!"
Yang sighed running her hand through her long dark hair. "Shhh I know Blake, you need to relax! She'll be fine, she's a tough kid." Yang whispered the last part cooing. Blake whimpered as the two slowly slid to the ground her sobs echoing the hallway. Weiss watching from afar next to Pyrrha frowned a small fear forming in her chest. 'You better win you dolt.'
'Never forget Blake, please never do!'
Once I was twenty years old, my story got told
Before the morning sun, when life was lonely
Once I was twenty years old
I only see my goals, I don't believe in failure
'Cause I know the smallest voices, they can make it major
I got my boys with me, at least those in favor
And if we don't meet before I leave, I hope I'll see you later
'It was all your fault and you know it.' Blake stood there clutching the post as she tried to form words her hands sweaty. "Ruby, she was something different that's for sure. She was never afraid of anything really." She chuckled trying to calm her nerves. Her finger began to nervously tap. "I-I believe that she is in a better place, a place without pain or fear not coming home the next day. As I've learned, things happen for a reason." She finished tears slowly falling as she made her way off the stage. On the way she passed by Jaune who gave her a sad smile.
The Faunus let everything fade as she sat back down in her chair next to her teammates. She rested her hands in her lap her fingers going to the ring on her left hand.
"But Ruby wouldn't want us to cry. No she would want us to fight, to keep fighting for what's right." Jaune looked towards Blake. "No matter what."
Once I was twenty years old, my story got told
I was writing about everything I saw before me
Once I was twenty years old
Soon we'll be thirty years old, our songs have been sold
We've traveled around the world and we're still roaming
Soon we'll be thirty years old
Her eyes scanned the cliff edge catching two grave stones both dusted with white specks of snow. She slowly made her way forwards red and white roses clutched to her chest. 'Pathetic isn't it.'
Blake sighed kneeling down in front of the two graves. 'Thus kindly I scatter.' Blake gave a small smile as she remembered the first time the younger rose and the blonde brute brought their partners here.
"If I knew we were walking a long distance I would have changed my shoes." The heiress said following next to Yang who was in front of Ruby and Blake. The Faunus and the Rose stood a little back from the other two hands entertained together.
"You still haven't told me where we're going red." Blake asked nudging the other one. Ruby smiled nudging her girlfriend back. "It's a secret Blakey." She said. The two went silent their eyes on the other two as they made their way down a dirt path. Every once in a while Blake would glance at her red headed girlfriend concerned at how quiet she was. She had never seen her leader this quiet before.
After a little Blake felt Ruby's hand slip out of hers as the other ran forwards towards Yang who was a little up ahead of Weiss. Blake could hear Ruby as she asked her sister something. "How many did you bring?"
"Let's see… 13. Here you go sis." Yang handed Ruby what looked like to be white roses. Off again Ruby made a mad dash up the hill disappearing. Yang stood back sighing as she leaned up against a tree. Both Blake and Weiss gave a confused look towards each other before looking at the Blonde.
"Before you ask…" Yang sighed running her hand through her hair looking up towards the cliff where Ruby disappeared to. "It's her mom… our mom. This is why we brought you here… today is the day she passed, so it's kind of hard." Yang finished. Blake's eyes followed up to the hill her body tempting to follow her girlfriend. "Go Blake. She'll want you to be there." Weiss said stepping towards Yang. Blake slowly nodded, following after her without hesitation.
"That was so long ago Ruby, where did the years go." Blake whispered. She could no longer cry almost as if her tear glands were empty. "Almost a year…" She sighed lowering her head.
I'm still learning about life
My woman brought children for me
So I can sing them all my songs
And I can tell them stories
Most of my boys are with me
Some are still out seeking glory
And some I had to leave behind
My brother, I'm still sorry
Soon I'll be sixty years old, my daddy got sixty-one
Remember life, and then your life becomes a better one
I made a man so happy when I wrote a letter once
I hope my children come and visit once or twice a month
Soon I'll be sixty years old, will I think the world is cold
Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me?
Soon I'll be sixty years old
She stared at her reflection in the golden liquid matching the color of her eyes. Shout and laughs were made from across the bar making her take her eyes off of the glass. Her eyes caught the blonde brute who was currently in a boxing match obviously winning.
'12 months.'
Sighing the Faunus chugged down her drink putting it down. Her eyes trailed back to her partner watching as she socked the taller guy in the face knocking him out cold sending more cheers throughout a small crowd that had gathered. 'How have you gotten this far.'
Blake slid the glass over to many other glasses that had stacked up from the two. Yang gave a loud laugh patting some people on the back going back to the table.
"Did you see that guy? Thought he was a tough guy." She said gulping the rest of her drink burping after. The Faunus grimaced watching the blonde wave over for the bartender to bring more drinks.
Blake groaned inside her head now starting to pound slowly. 'Stop doing this to-'
"Here you go kitten." Yang said scooting over next to the girl wrapping her arm around her shoulder swinging around a little.
This lasted for another hour or so until the bar had started to close asking for the two to leave, for the two were very common nowadays.
This led to the two of them walking up a set of stairs into a small apartment that they owned in Vale. Their main living area was in Atlas in the Schnee Manor, but due to Weiss being in Vacuo for meetings with other dust companies the two decided to sneak away for the time being.
The Schnee complained as always to their drinking knowing far too well as to why they were.
Since she d... pasted the three of them went to others ways of coping with her being gone. Weiss piling herself in work, Yang and Blake going off to drink their pain away often times getting kicked out of a bar because of Yang destroying it.
'Stop this!'
Once I was seven years old, my mama told me,
"Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely."
Once I was seven years old
Once I was seven years old
The redhead frowned sitting on the ledge of the window her white wings blowing in the wind. She watched the Faunus' breathing sighing. "This isn't you Blake. Please stop." She whispered resting her hand on the glass, the glass fogged up when her pristine hand touched it. Ruby watched the girl's ears twitch as she rolled over facing away from the window. She felt a hand rest on her shoulder looking to see her mom floating next to her, Summer gave her a smile giving a gesture back towards the sky. Sniffling Ruby nodded giving one last glance towards Blake.
"Remember Blake please. I still love you and I will find you again, in the next life." Her voice was a whisper as it reached the Faunus' ears making the women smile softly.
"Ruby." Her whisper echoed out into the air.
What did you all think? I hope it was good! I often love writing sad stories but not everyone will be sad. My next possible chapter will either be a Jaune X Weiss (White Knight) or Weiss X Ruby (WhiteRose). Depending on how busy my schedule is. Often times I will change it on my profile where I have all the requests, as I write I will change from N/A to Started and then to finished with a possible date of submission. I will see you all next time and have a wonderful night!
