It's 6:45, Nobody is patiently waiting for Ruby to show up. 'Why am I getting nervous, it's just a date.' Nobody thought to himself holding his chest. 'Just be a gentleman, none of that silent moody stuff that I always do. In fact, I wonder if she's as nervous as I am.'
Ruby is in her room, extremely nervous about the date. She didn't know if she should wear something fancy, if she should bring her Lien to pay for the dinner, she was a wreck. Then her sister confronted her to comfort her, "It's going to be ok sis, just calm down and breath, first thing, just wear your normal attire, you look good in it anyway, second, most guys handle the bill, but you should bring 20 Lien just in case." This calmed Ruby down a bit, but she was still nervous.
"What if he doesn't like me after the date?" Ruby said in a depressed tone.
"He asked you on a date didn't he, that shows that he does like you, and if he does end up not liking you, It's his loss." Yang replied trying to cheer her up.
Ruby had a faint smile on her face, "Thanks Yang, I did need to hear that."
Yang then had a deviant look on her face, "And if the date does go well," she pointed to Ruby's bed, "the room will be empty so you two can have a little 'fun'."
This made Ruby's face as red as her cloak, "YANG!" She yelled. Then proceeded to chase her around the room with Crescent Rose. Then she stopped and thought out loud a little worried, "What if he does expect us to do 'that' tonight..."
"I was just messing with you Rubes, and if he does, I'll make sure that Ember Celica meets his privates." Yang responded activating her weapons.
Ruby chuckled to herself, she's happy to have such a caring sister. She then looked at the clock. It read 7:08. "OH MY DUST! I'm late, gotta go bye!" Ruby exclaimed, then she activated her semblance and was gone in a blink of an eye, leaving behind nothing but rose petals.
It's now 7:12. Nobody is still waiting for Ruby to show up, 'Maybe I was wrong, I guess she blew me off' he thought to himself. He then proceeded to walk back to his room, when all of a sudden heard a voice.
"WAIT!"
He turned around to see who it was only to be meet by Ruby crashing right into him from her high impact speed which caused both of them to fall to the ground. Both being a little dazed, Ruby snapped out of it first, she had a little headache, but the she realized the position the two were in, she was on top of him with her 'assets' in his face. She quickly got up and her face was redder than her cape, if that was possible, luckily, he was still dazed from the impact. When he came to, first thing he checked was to make sure his hood was still covering the upper part of his face, which it still was, then he looked at Ruby and noticed her face was extremely red. He then asked, "Um, are you ok?"
She replied with, "U-um, y-yeah, I'm fine..." still embarrassed about what happened. She then realized that he doesn't remember what just happened, so she decided to keep that incident to herself. "I'm sorry that I was late, I kinda lost track of time." she said rubbing the back of her head trying to calm herself down.
"It's ok, as long as you made it." he replied. "So are you ready to head into town?"
"Yeah, so should we start heading to the airship?" She asked.
"Actually," he stated, " I got another means of transportation, follow me." The two walked a few meters to a vehicle that resembles a motorcycle without the wheels. "Meet Silver Strike, made her myself." He said as he hopped on and motioned Ruby to sit behind him.
She was amazed by the craftsmanship of the vehicle. She then sat behind him and ask, "Wow, what does it run on?"
He placed his gauntlet over a sphere on the right side of the vehicle then stated, "It runs on my semblance." Electricity started to surge from his gauntlet to the sphere and caused the engine to turn on. "Which is electrokinesis."
"Whoa, you can move objects with your mind?" Ruby asked.
Nobody then replied with, "That's telekinesis, electrokinesis is the ability to control electricity and lightning."
"Lightning is cool too." she stated.
He revved up the engine and said, "Hold on tight." She leaned against his back and wrapped her arms around him tightly. The vehicle then started to lift off the ground. Ruby looked at the ground and noticed they were several feet above the ground and was heading toward the edge of the cliff. "You're not afraid of heights are you?" he asked.
"Umm, not reaLLLLLYYYYY!" She screamed as they dove off the cliff. She was screaming at the top of her lungs while the hovercraft was diving straight toward the ground. He then started to grin as he placed his other gauntlet over the sphere on the other side, then the vehicle pulled up right before hitting the ground to avoid crashing. They were starting to gain height, but Ruby was still screaming with her eyes closed.
Nobody then said, "Ruby, It's alright, you can stop screaming and open your eyes." When she heard this, she opened one eye and was still a little terrified as to how high they were and hugged him tighter to make sure she doesn't fall. "Having fun?" he asked in a laughing tone. Her only response was a glare. "I'm sorry, I was just trying to have a little fun." he said with a smile.
Ruby was a little upset, but she couldn't be that mad at him. "Just...don't do that again alright." she said.
"I promise." he replied. "We'll be in town in a few minutes." They flew through the sky for a couple more minutes until they reached town. He landed the hovercraft nice and easy. They got off and they were starting to walk away.
"Um, don't you need to lock it or something, what if someone tries to steal it?" She asked a little concerned for Silver Strike.
"Like I said earlier, it only runs on MY semblance, plus the thing weighs a ton. It's not going anywhere." He said as they continued to walk the street of the town.
Then Ruby asked, "So where are we going for dinner?"
"We're going to The Paradise, It's a great restaurant from what I've heard, It's got just about everything, they're mainly known for their pizzas, plus I got a friend who works there." He replied as they turned the corner to find the restaurant a block away.
They entered the establishment and sat themselves at a table, then a waiter walked up, he was tall, looked about their age, brown, messy hair, and wore a black and white butler suit, "Hello, thank you for choosing Paradise, my name is Shane and I will be your waiter for this evening."
"Hey Shane, how's it going?" asked Nobody.
Shane noticed it was Nobody, then said, "Oh hey, long time no see, didn't recognize you. I'm doing alright, how about you, who's the girl?"
"Um, my name is Ruby Rose and umm..." she trailed off as she lost her train of thought.
"And we're out on a date." Nobody finished.
"That's cool, how many dates have you two been on?" Shane asked.
Nobody then replied with, "Actually, this is our first date."
"Wow, really, in that case, order anything you want, the bill is on me tonight." Shane said with a smile on his face.
"Oh my dust, you really don't have to, that's too kind of you, won't you get in trouble with your boss?" Ruby insisted that he shouldn't have to pay for the dinner.
"It's fine, I insist, besides, I do anything for a good friend like Nobody, especially on his first date, and I'm sure my boss, Joel, won't mind much." he replied as he took out his notepad, "Can I get you two something to drink while you decide what you want to get?"
"Um, I'll just have a glass of milk." Ruby said.
"And I'll have strawberry milk." both Ruby and Shane look at Nobody a little weird, "...don't judge me..."
"Alright, one glass of milk, and glass of strawberry milk, I'll be right back in a few minutes." Shane said as he took the order and left.
"Before you say anything, I like milk, I just like a little flavour in the milk." he stated.
"No no no, I understand, I like milk too, I just never thought of different flavors." she replied.
"Anyway, so what do you think you're gonna get?" He asked Ruby.
"I'm not sure, I remember you said something about their pizzas, so lets get a pizza." she said as she was looking over the pizza section. "What about this, 'The Beacon Bacon', it has bacon, sausage, chicken, and a pepperoni stuffed crust."
"That sounds good, lets get that." Nobody replied.
Then right on cue, Shane came back with the drinks, "And here is your guys drinks, have you guys decided what you guys would like?"
"Actually we did, we'll share 'The Beacon Bacon'." Nobody answered.
"Alright, any appetizers?" Shane asked.
Ruby then replied, "No thank you, that should be good for us."
"In that case I'll take this to the back and it should be ready in about 20 minutes, also, would you two like to be seated in a more 'romantic' area?" Shane said as he wrote down the order.
Ruby replied with, "Um, if you want to Nobody, I won't mind."
"Uh, sure, I don't mind." When Nobody said that, Shane escorted the two outside to nice little table with a bunch of lit candles with a piano a few feet from the table.
Both Ruby and Nobody were a little surprised at this. Ruby was in awe of it while Nobody was impressed with what his friend did. He turned his head to him and mouthed, 'thank you'. They then sat down in the seats facing each other. Then they noticed Shane walking towards the piano. Nobody then asked, "Um Shane, what are you doing?"
He replied with, "Just adding a little bit more to the romantic atmosphere. He sat at the piano and started to play. (Insert "I'm yours" by Jason Mraz)
Ruby then asked Nobody, "Did you plan this?" with a hint of affection in her voice.
"Well i..." right before he was gonna say 'no', Shane was trying to get his attention, and was shaking his head 'yes', "...I did, yeah, I did." He started to laugh a little nervously.
"This is so romantic of you for a first date." she said while they were drinking their milk, then she decided to have a little fun, "If I didn't know any better, I would say you're trying to get in bed with me tonight." This caused Nobody to spit out his drink to the side.
"WAIT WHAT?! Th-th-that's the last thing on my mind!" He stated, a little surprised by what she said.
"So you don't find me attractive to have sex with?" She said with a sad face, still teasing him.
"No no no, you're beautiful, I find you very gorgeous and attractive!" Nobody said, starting to panic.
"Well then what's the problem?" She said with a seductive tone.
"But. I. Just. I." ( has stopped working)
Ruby started to laugh, "I'm just playing with you, calm down, besides, this is what you get for that scare back at the cliffs."
"...We're even then..." he asked, his face is red from her little 'fun'.
"Yeah, we're even." She said as she continued with her drink. "Also, I meant to ask this a while ago, why do always wear the hood?" When she asked this, this caused Shane to suddenly stop playing the piano.
"...I'll tell you later..." Nobody said a little of a dull tone.
Ruby noticed this and said, "I'm sorry if I touched a sore subject."
"It's ok, you didn't know." He stated with his tone back to normal.
There was a few minutes of awkward silence, then Ruby asked, "So what do you like to do in your spare time?"
"Nothing much, just train, work on Silver Strike, and play my guitar." He replied. "What about you?"
"I mainly like to hang out with my teammates and friends, and take care of Crescent Rose, and you play a guitar, that's awesome, you gotta play for me sometime." She replied.
Then the pizza arrived at their table. They took a couple of slices of the pizza and enjoyed their meal. By the time they were done, Shane came up and said, "I hope you two enjoyed the meal, do you have any room for our new dessert that I created, 'The Cookie Pie'?"
Right when Nobody was about to say no, Ruby said, "Cookie Pie?!" Her eyes a little wide.
"Yes, the Cookie Pie, an idea I had, its a giant cookie, a little bigger than a normal plate, with 4 scoops of whatever flavour ice cream you desire, topped with whipped cream and caramel drizzle."
Nobody then said, "That does sound good, what do you think Ru-"
"Yes!" was the only thing she said.
"Alright, I'll be right back with it in a few minutes then." Shane said as he left to go get it.
"So I take it you like cookies." Nobody said with a little laughter in his voice.
"Mm-hmm." She replied with a big smile.
About a minute passed and then Shane came back with the Cookie Pie. "Hope you two enjoy this." It was cut up the same as a pizza, so the two took a slice of the dessert.
"Wow, this is really sweet, but also really delicious, what do you th-" before Nobody could finish, he looked up to face Ruby, words can not describe the expression on her face. "...I take it you like it?"
Ruby replied with, "No," this surprised Nobody, then she finished, "I LOVE THIS!" Then she proceeded to eat a few more slices.
Then Shane came by again, " Alright how was everything, can I get you guys a box or-" he then noticed that the entire Cookie Pie was gone. He looked at Ruby to see her rubbing her belly with satisfaction, then he looked at Nobody and saw that he was still working on his first piece, "something..." he then finished.
"I think we might be good, thanks though." Nobody said. Then Nobody and Ruby got up, he left a 20 Lien tip for Shane, and started to walk back to his vehicle. When they showed up to the vehicle, he asked, "Hey, wanna drive this?"
"Oh definitely, I want to drive a hovercraft that I don't know how to operate and that might end up killing me." She replied with a smile on her face.
"I'm no stranger to sarcasm, Ruby." He said.
Ruby sighed, "I really don't feel comfortable riding that thing, let alone driving it."
All of a sudden, she heard a female voice, "I do have a name you know."
"What was that?!" Ruby asked, a little shocked. She looked behind her to the vehicle. She then asked, "Did your vehicle just talk?"
"My NAME is Silver Strike, but you may call me S.S." the vehicle replied.
Ruby was still shocked, then Nobody said, "Yeeeaaah, forgot to mention I uploaded an A.I. In her sooo, Ruby, this is S.S., S.S., this is Ruby, I'm sure you two will get along just fine."
"I do have to agree with Ruby, she does not contain the knowledge to operate, nor do I think she has the capacity to learn." S.S. said with a little attitude in her last statement.
"Wait, what was that?" Ruby asked not quite understanding what she meant on the last part.
Nobody did notice what she meant and quickly replied, "Nothing! Should we be going now?" He then thought to himself, 'I am going to need to talk to S.S. later about her attitude.'
Ruby was still curious as to what she meant, but decided to drop it for now. "Sure, and please no more scares on this ride." She said remembering last time. He nodded yes and the two got on Silver Strike. They then arose to the sky and started flying farther away from Beacon. "I thought we were heading back?" She asked.
"I actually have a better idea to spend the rest of the night." He answered with a confident smile. They were flying toward the beach, they landed S.S. in the grass right before the sand. Nobody hopped off and helped Ruby off of S.S. "I thought that maybe we could walk along the beach for a bit."
"That sounds amazing." Ruby said. She then noticed that Nobody was taking his shoe's off. " What are you doing?" She asked.
Nobody replied with, "I think it might feel good to to have my feet in the sand."
Ruby thought about that and decided to do the same. They walked along the beach for a few minutes, then she asked, "So do you do this to all the girls you go out with?"
Nobody was silent for a few seconds, then he spoke, "No, you're the only one I have done this for."
"So you haven't done anything this special for other girls?" She asked.
"No, I mean you are the first girl I have ever asked out…" he said a little embarrassed about what he said.
Ruby was a little surprised from what he said, she then said, "Well, you're not the only one, this was my first date as well, and I do have to say, it was one that i will never forget."
After hearing this, Nobody was happy to hear that she enjoyed the date, and was even more surprised when he felt her hand grab his gauntlet claws. He then pulled away and said, "Hold on." He turned around and made a few movements, then he turned around and revealed that he took the gauntlet off. "So it's more comfortable for both of us." He then put his hand back in hers, her hand felt very soft and gentle. "Wow, this is the softest thing i have felt in a long time."
"I take it you don't take that off very often?" she asked.
"Exactly."
Ruby smiled and then looked at his hand and noticed that there was a big scar on the top of his hand. "What happened here?" She asked
"Oh, that, it was from a training accident a few years ago. I was sparring with my brother, Kage, and my gauntlet flew off and i tried to block his weapon with my hand, thinking i still had it on, stupid right?" He stated.
Ruby pulled Nobody's hand closer to examine it, she then said, "Everyone makes mistakes." She then kissed the scar, "We just have to learn from them."
Nobody was a little moved at what she did, he then thought what he should do next, "You asked about the hood earlier." Ruby looked up at Nobody. "I wear it so that nobody knows what i look like so if i make enemies, they don't know who to look for and they won't end up trying to hurt my family, friends," he then looked at Ruby, removing his hood, "and the people I truly care about."
Ruby was extremely surprised that Nobody showed his face to her. He had silver eyes, just like her, and had spiky silver hair. She then playfully asked, "I take it you like silver."
Nobody then pulled the hood back over his head with a smile on his face. "How can you tell?" he said while laughing to himself. "I think we should start heading back to school." Ruby agreed and started heading to S.S. They put their shoe's back on and got on S.S. A few minutes later, they landed safely back at the cliffs near Beacon. They got off and Nobody said, "Goodnight S.S."
"Goodnight you two, and remember, wear protection." She said trying to embarrass the two.
"S.S.!" Nobody yelled while Ruby's face was extremely red. After the little rant he gave to S.S., Nobody was walking Ruby back to her room, he then looked at the time. "Wow, it's 10:42 p.m. I guess the old saying is true, 'Time does fly when you have a great time'." This made Ruby smile a little. The two walked a bit more until they made it to the front door of her room.
Ruby faced Nobody and then said, "I had a wonderful time with you."
"I'm glad to have spent it with you." Nobody replied, there was a little bit of awkward silence, then he said, "Hey, um, i was wonder, would you like to um…" All of a sudden, the door to Ruby's room flung open and her teammates fell right right through. After witnessing this he sighed, "...would you like to hang out tomorrow?" he finished, even though this was not the question he was going to ask.
"Sure, i would love to." After she said this she gave a very angry look to her teammates.
"Well umm, this is awkward, we'll um, just give you two some more privacy." Yang said as she and her teammate went back inside the room and closed the door behind them.
After a few seconds, Ruby was about to say something, but before she did, she looked at the door and slammed her fist hard against it, then there was a sudden loud thud from the other side of the door. "Just had to make sure." Ruby said. After this, Nobody said goodnight to Ruby and started to walk away. Then Ruby spoke up, "Nobody!" he turned around and all of a sudden Ruby was right in front of him, she pulled his hood closer to her face, and then gave him a kiss on his cheek. She then whispered, "Lets do this again sometime."
"Definatly."
Ruby then entered her room and Nobody started to head back to his room. Then they both thought at the same time, 'I think i'm in love...'
