A/N: Hey so this time its Ruby's background story, hope you enjoy. And I still dont own RWBY.

Chapter 2

2 year ago on the roof of Signal Academy:

"ROTE," Ruby yells tackling her best friend in a bone crushing hug that even her sister would be hurting from. The two had met in their first year at Signal Academy, and had become friends quickly despite the fact that their personalities were completely different. Ruby was hyper and always wore her emotions on her sleeve, while Rote was calm and never showed her emotions unless she and Ruby were alone.

"Cant...breathe...Ruby,"

"Sorry, I guess yang's been rubbing off on me in the hug department," The crimson tipped blushed as she realized how close her face was to the strawberry-blonde's. "Ummm... Rote I need you to promise that you wont be angry or run away from what i'm going to tell you, Ok?"

"I could never be mad at you, although i've come close to it, I just cant bring myself to be mad at you for more than a second, your my best friend," both girls were blushing, neither moved their faces away from the other's. "So tell me why you wanted to meet,"

"Umm...uhh...i'vehadahugecrushonyouforlikeeverandineedyoutoknowbecauseeverytimeiseeyoumyheartbeatssohardithurt," The cloaked girl so quickly that the other girl had to take a few seconds to seperate the words and understand what was said. Taking the silence as rejection Ruby stutters out an apology and tries to quickly walk away. Before she gets to far away she feels a hand reach out and grab her shoulder stopping her in her tracks.

"I thought I was the only one," Rote says under her breath, a blush spreading across her face as she turns Ruby around to face her. "I've had a crush on you ever since we me..." Her words cut off as Ruby's lips met her own. The kiss only lasted a few brief moments but to the two girls it felt like forever.

The two kissed again, this time more passionately. Ruby's hands clutching at Rotes longer hair and Rote's pulling the other girl closer as she deepened the kiss. They stayed like that untill both of them broke the kiss gasping for air.

"I'm so happy that you didn't reject my feelings," Ruby said after a few moments.

"I'm glad you finally confessed, I've been waiting for this ever since we took that trip to your Uncle's workshop and made our scythes," Rote states holding Ruby's hand in her own. "So are we...a couple now?"

"Yes...I mean if you want to be that is," Ruby said eyes staring into Rote's.

"I would love that, but we should probobally not tell anyone yet. I dont anyone treating you differently because of this,"

"Ok, but we will have to tell them eventually, especially Yang,"

"How about we enjoy this for now, and in a few months time we can tell her. Although she will probobally kill me when she finds out," both girls giggle at the thought of how Ruby's older sister would react before walking hand in hand towards the stairs and out of the school. Happy as can be.

6 months later:

Waiting wasn't one of Yang's strong points, as evident in the way she was fidgeting on the couch waiting for her sister to come home from a day with Rote in the city. Why does ruby wan't to talk with me today, and what is taking so god damn long.

"Hey yang, where's Ruby?" Taiyang said walking into the living room from the kitchen.

"In town with Rote, she said she had something to tell me when she got home, but she is running late,"

"She told me the same thing, I wondor what's happened that she had to keep it a secret from the both of us,"

"I dont know, I'm so bored I can't even come up with any good puns," A look of concern crossed her father's face.

"This is serious we need to call the doctor, my heart Yangs to see you like this," yang looks confused before bursting out laughing at her father's terrible pun.

"That is hilarious,"

Their laughter is cut short by the sound of the door opening and two girls running inside.

"Sorry, traphic was terrible on the way back, and the cab driver had to take a longer route to get us here, I know you guys don't like to be kept waiting," Ruby apologizes as she takes her boots off leaning against the doorway.

"I told you we shouldn't have stopped at the bakery for cookies," Rote states before hugging Yang in greeting.

"THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE OUR LITTLE SECRET," Ruby yells with a grin on her face as she looks at the girl next to her.

"It's your fault since you can never resist a cookie,"

"Girls, its ok, I'm just glad that you guy's got home safely, now would you three like something to drink," all three girls nodded. "OK, Yang could you help me in the kitchen?" Yang nods standing up from her seat on the couch. As the two blondes leave the room, Ruby and Rote clasp their hands togethor and lean in for a quick kiss.

A few minutes later, the four of them sit around a table.

"So, what did you guys want to tell us?" Yang asks sipping on her lemonade.

"First off you have to promise not to get angry,"

"I'll try," Yang says suspicious at what her sibling had said.

"I could never be mad at the two of you," Taiyang states confidently.

"Ok, I've been wondering how to tell you guys this for awhile, but...me and Rote are dating,"

A/N: So there it is, any help is appreciative, and I am still trying to find someone to proof read these for me. I'm not to knowledgeable about the whole BETA reader system on here so if anyone could explain that to me through a PM that would be great. Hopefully I can get better and better.
