Ruby stumbles into a strange boy in the hallway, and makes more friends than she would have thought.
Honestly, Ruby didn't know how she got into these situations. What did the universe have against her and meeting people normally? Would it really be that bad to not have her meet someone by crashing into them?
She offered her tablet out to the poor boy she had knocked down as she had turned a corner in the hallways. An apology she wished she wasn't so used to giving out.
The only issue? The boy wouldn't take it. His eyes were completely white, shining bright against his dark skin and red hair, but they didn't leave her face.
Ruby moved the tablet from side to side, brows furrowing as the action failed to elicit any sort of reaction.
"Hey Fox!" The shout startled the both of them, although Fox only turned his head with a smile, while Ruby jumped straight up.
It was a girl, a small frown on her face as she marched up to Fox. A burea adorned her head, with shades covering her eyes. Her handbag jostled a bit when she stood next to Fox, a hand on her hip as she examined Ruby.
Ruby could see two others trailing behind the girl, one rabbit faunus and bay that could only be described as a giant.
"What happened?" The girl with the shades snapped.
Fox only smiled at the girl's harsh tone, softly saying "Nothing Coco. We just accidentally ran into each other."
"Did you apologize?" Coco rounded on Ruby, who held out the scroll willingly, although now with a different message.
"I'm sorry for running into Fox. I'm not trying to be rude, but I can't talk to people."
"Oh" Coco smiled softly as she read, handing the scroll back to her other two companions, who both shared a sympathetic glance.
The rabbit faunus stepped forward to hand Ruby back her scroll saying, "Sorry about that. We saw you standing by Fox and Coco assumed the worst. Although I'm glad we came over, you two might have been stuck here for a while."
"Fox can't see," Coco said before Ruby could type the question. "and you can't talk, so you guys would have been stuck."
Well, that explained why he didn't react to her scroll, but Ruby couldn't imagine what it took to be able to fight like that.
"That's incredible." Ruby made her thoughts known, returning the bright smile the rest of his teammates gave her.
"Hear that Fox?" Coco nudged her hip against Fox's. "She just said you were incredible."
"Thank you." Fox looked surprised, his quiet voice sounding utterly shocked.
"How do you interact with your teammates then?" The rabbit faunus asked, one ear flopping down as she peered at Ruby. "When you're fighting?"
"Me and Yang know sign language, and Blake and Weiss are learning it for missions."
"So, you guys could totally sneak up on someone without even talking." Coco smirked. "Now that is something I'd like to see."
Ruby gave a sheepish smile, one that quickly faded when she realized that she needed to get to her next class.
"I gotta head to my next class. See you later."
Coco stuck out her hand, and Ruby took it up with a smile. "Coco, leader of team CFVY. Mind if I get your number? I definitely want to talk to you later."
Ruby nodded readily, handing her scroll over to Coco so she could type her number into it. Coco handed it back quickly, asking "What's your name?"
"Ruby, leader of team RWBY."
"Nice." Coco grinned as she turned away, waving. "See ya later Ruby."
"I'm Velvet," The rabbit faunus introduced herself, and then pointed to her giant partner. "and this is Yatsuhashi. It was nice meeting you."
Fox was the last to leave, following behind Yatsuhashi after giving Ruby a wave of his own.
As she sped away to class, Ruby couldn't keep the smile off her face. She had just made four friends. Four! In less than three minutes. If this is what stumbling into people brought her, she needed to start doing it a lot more often.
Yes! I finally get to write in CFVY! I so excited, even though writing them is a challenge, I still love them! And you can be sure as hell that they will appear again.
