Yo Peeps, GMG back with another chapter. Having not posted in some time, I realized that people actually cared about this story… if over 3,000 views in the last two days was anything to go by. The poll answers spiked and it was closer than I thought. I'll keep it up, since a few days isn't enough to get a solid answer, but two thirds of you voted "adorkable kisses", the remaining third voting for "hardcore smut." I did get questioned if both would be an acceptable answer and, if y'all want, I can add it to the selection, so you can vote. ONWARDS TO STORY AND ADORKABLE KISSES! MAYBE! Probably? I dunno… *shrugs*
Disclaimer: I do not own RWBY. Ain't that something?
With the awkward interaction with the other two members of Team RWBY, Blake had a chance to actually notice things about the Yellow Brick Café (1) that she hadn't been focused on. Just inhaling the air had her eyes fluttering and forcing her to stifle a purr of content. The various aromas of coffees and teas flushed her senses. A tingle of pleasure shot up her arms as she sighed in content. The familiar smell relaxed her and she knew she'd be coming to this place more often.
Ruby had noticed Blake's reaction and her silver eyes were wide at the sight. It was so cute seeing Blake looking so entranced with the place. Best. Date. Idea. EVER! Giving herself a mental high five, she prodded Blake. A small giggle erupted when Blake jumped in surprise. "What do you want to drink, Blake?"
It came to mind to respond with 'whatever is the source of this divine smell' and to be honest it seemed like a good idea, but she couldn't order every drink the store offered. She rather liked not being bound to a bathroom for one reason or another. "I'll let you choose, since you're the expert here."
Turning to the woman at the cash register, she ordered two cocoas and a half dozen of chocolate chip cookies. Blake didn't catch what Ruby whispered to the woman, but the grin on the younger girl's face reassured her it wasn't anything too bad… she hoped. Lien was exchanged and a crinkled up receipt was stuffed into Ruby's waist pouch. Order placed, the meandered over to the part of the counter where they'd receive their drinks.
Blake heard a slight crinkle of plastic wrap as Ruby dropped the cookies on a nearby table, throwing her snow white cloak over the back of a chair, claiming the table for the two before returning to Blake's side. At Blake's questioning look, Ruby smiled. "We'll need our hands free to hold the hot cocoa."
"I suppose," Blake replied. "What was the extra bit you said?"
Ruby's brow scrunched up in confusion. "You mean what I whispered?" At Blake's nod, she laughed. "A surprise, silly. That's why I whispered it, ya know!" She bumped into the Faunus playfully, silver eyes bright with mischief. As she said this, their mugs had arrived with a small plate with two chocolate covered strawberries.
The cat Faunus was convinced that the strawberries had been the surprise, but once glance at the mug Ruby offered her and that thought was dashed. She had heard of latte art, she thought the idea a bit clever. In her cup, the milk poured into her cocoa had been masterfully handled and a little fish was swirling about atop the brown pool beneath it. She could make out a few scales and she had to resist the urge to try and catch the realistic looking fish in her hands.
Damn her instincts…
A light laugh pulled her attention from the fish as she glanced at her date. Ruby was snickering at the sight of Blake's golden eyes being completely intent on the fish. Reaching over, she placed her mug at their table before pulling out one of the chairs for the Faunus. Blake sat, blushing at the affectionate gesture and the embarrassment at being so enraptured with a hot chocolate drink.
She heard a slight screech as Ruby pulled her own chair back before sitting in it. It was followed with the sound of rustling fabrics as the clumsy girl tried to fix her cloak, so she could lean against the chair with some semblance of comfort, no pun intended. Blake had the feeling that Yang was laughing somewhere and prayed that Weiss wasn't having her eardrums annihilated. A cheer of victory let her know that Ruby had succeeded in taming the mass of fabric. Focusing on the girl, she saw Ruby open the wrapped cookies, setting three on a napkin and sliding them over to Blake, making her smile.
Ruby picked up one of the treats from her share and grinned as she went to eat it, only for her hand to flicker and the cookie to drop to the table, crumbling apart and making a mess. Frowning, she tried grabbing the second one, but her hand refused to submit to her wish for a cookie. Using her other hand, she tried, but with similar results. Blake noticed Ruby's eyes becoming misty as a red flush filled her cheeks.
Blake's mood soured as she saw a tear trail from Ruby's eyes. Concern filled the elder girl and she reached for the girl's hands. "Ruby," she said, sounding sad. "It's okay."
It went unnoticed by either that Blake had managed to grab hold of Ruby's hands. The thought was far from either's mind. Ruby just shook her head and glared at the cookies, another tear leaking. "It's not okay."
Standing, the Faunus pulled Ruby up and glanced around, eyes catching on the doors to the bathroom. Pulling the girl after her, she led them into the bathroom, locking the door behind them. When the lock clicked, Blake pulled the girl into a hug. She felt numb, Ruby shaking in her arms with not a clue as to how to make it better. How did you handle a sobbing girl? Blake was unsure, to say the least.
She knew it wasn't just the cookies that had caused this. If it had been just that, Ruby probably would've ordered some more cookies. The raven haired girl knew it had more to do with Ruby's semblance. It had bothered her so many times, that this must've been a breaking point. "It's gonna be okay, Ruby," Blake reassured. "I promise it will get better."
Ruby shook her head against Blake. "It's not." Her voice was muffled. "My stupid semblance is always gonna mess with me." She looked up at Blake, silver meeting gold. "I just wanted cookies and I can't even have that, Blake!"
Blake rested her forehead against Ruby's. "If it's about the cookies, I could feed them to you," she suggested.
"You shouldn't have to," Ruby protested. "I don't want to be babied because of my semblance. I just want it to stop messing with my life!"
Mulling the words over, Blake shook her head, adopting a goofy grin as she quoted the girl in her arms. "Nope."
Ruby pouted at Blake. "It's always done me nothing but annoy me."
"Nope."
Now, Ruby looked annoyed. "Would you stop that?"
"Nope." Blake laughed. "It has done some positive things. Saving your life, the whole situation with Weiss where you two became friends, and landing you in my bed quite often." Blake listed off the points, getting a begrudging nod from the girl in her arms.
"Fine," Ruby said, blowing a raspberry at Blake. "I'll stop complaining about it."
Blake grinned. "Good. Now let's get back to our date. There are still some cookies left."
Exiting the bathroom, they returned to their seats. The issue passed them, Ruby managed to pick up her cookies and eat them. She even got a snort of laughter out of Blake when she swept the crumbs of the table and knocked them back with a swig from her cocoa.
XXXGMGXXX
The two returned to the room, the afternoon light having given way to night's beautiful starlit sky. Weiss and Yang were getting some snacks for some reason or another, leaving the couple to their own devices. The room's window was pushed open and both girls were draping their legs out into the open air, Ruby leaning against Blake. Even through her night pants, she felt the cool air drift over her calves, causing her to shiver. The Faunus was likely no better off, with her kimono not covering her legs at all. A sight an appreciative Ruby was thankful for.
A black pair of socks were pulled up Blake's legs, only coming slightly up her calves, but that was the extent of the coverage. Silver eyes were more focused on the milky skin she could see. The way the moonlight danced over the expanse of it, Ruby was ensnared by the sight, only broken from her thoughts when Blake called her name. Looking up, she inwardly cursed. Turning from one trap, she slammed into another. The beautiful face of Blake Belladonna. Yellow pools shimmered, reflecting the light from the moon, giving them an ethereal glow.
Blake held similar thoughts of Ruby's eyes, the silver pools appearing a shimmering white. She felt an urge at that moment, and without conscious thought, she leaned down and placed her lips over Ruby's. She pulled back and giggled at the wide eyed expression of her leader. Breaking from her trance, Ruby laughed too, nuzzling against Blake and returning the kiss.
A rumbling sound caused Ruby to jump, looking around. Were Weiss and Yang back? She heard a laugh from Blake and looked at the teen. Blake was smiling at her affectionately, a rumbling sound coming from her, causing her body to tremble. "It's okay, Ruby. I'm purring."
"Oh." Ruby said, gawking. She stared at Blake for a moment before squealing. Hugging Blake suddenly, she started running off at the mouth. "Oh my Dust, that's so cute. I have a purring girlfriend. I know I'm a dog person, 'cause of Zwei, but the purring is so adorable and oh my Dust!"
"Zwei?" Blake questioned.
"Yup," Ruby confirmed. "Yang and I have a dog."
Two things happened at that point. Blake stopped purring and then she fainted.

Well, I hope you enjoyed that chapter. I was talking with Phoenix Commander while typing it and we discussed an idea. Nothing is set in stone, but a poll will be coming up in a later chapter regarding a name that we discussed. Remember to vote for the current poll and I'll see you around. Adieu for now!
