Chapter 37: An Evening At The Club
Friends, family, readers! It's The Draigg here again, with another chapter to dazzle your eyes with! Now, before you decided to scan these words with your optical spheres, you should know that I don't own RWBY, or any other thing I manage here in this story. All I own is a laptop and an excessive amount of DVDs. With that being said, let's start this thing!
"You're sure you don't want to see Velvet?", Ruby asked to Yang and Blake, as she dropped them off at Team RWBY's dorm room. Weiss and Ruby were standing next to the door, ready to head over to the Theater Club office. It was a pretty good bet that Velvet would be there. She spent so much of her day in there, it was getting kind of sad.
"Nah, I don't have much of a reason to see her today.", Yang said, flopping down on her bed.
"No thanks.", Blake replied. "I want to catch up on some reading.". Even if Mr. Brass spoiled the book she was currently reading in her spare time, she wouldn't just drop it. She WOULD finish it… eventually.
"Fine, then. We'll give her your regards.", Weiss said to the pair. It didn't really matter if they came with them or not. In fact, she was slightly relieved that they wouldn't. She wanted to talk to Ruby privately on the way over to the office, anyway.
Closing the door behind them, Ruby and Weiss started down the hallway. They remained silent even a while after they left their home at Beacon.
Walking down the pathway, Weiss wanted to express her feelings that she bottled up today. Like a steam pipe, sometimes you needed to vent the built up pressure. Except the steam pressure is emotion. And the pipe is a person. It's around here where the metaphor starts to fall apart a little. Regardless of that, Weiss felt that she needed to say something, anything to Ruby. Girlfriends always made for good confidants.
"So… Thanks for being with me. It really helped.", Weiss said to Ruby in a low voice. Even if it was starting to get a little late, she still feared that other students would be around to hear their conversation.
Ruby smiled at Weiss' sentiment. "Oh, it's no big deal.", Ruby replied politely.
Weiss stopped in her tracks. Ruby paused wondering why she stopped. She saw Weiss' face lower a little.
"It really meant a lot…", Weiss mumbled. Ruby put her arm around Weiss and got her to start walking again.
"Weiss… I…", Ruby said, trying to find some words to make Weiss feel a little better.
Finding some comforting words, Ruby then continued. "Just know I will ALWAYS be able to do anything for you.".
Weiss gave a small smile at Ruby's words. She just knew what to say to make her feel better. Sure, today ended up being for the better, but that didn't mean it wasn't a rough day to begin with.
Her spirits lifted, Weiss decided to change the subject. "So, what did you think of the announcement?", she asked, trying to make small talk.
"I thought you sounded great in it. Sure, it could have been timed better, but that wasn't our fault.", Ruby said, offering her opinion.
"I bet Velvet had a blast doing it. I guess she really does have a flair for the THEATRICAL. Eh?", Weiss said, trying to make pun. Although it wasn't as bad as Yang's normal puns and delivery, it still wasn't that good, either.
Ruby raised her eyebrow at her girlfriend's attempt at humor. She tried to laugh, but Weiss' delivery was WAY off. An awkward silence formed between the two.
"It was a joke.", Weiss explained, as if Ruby didn't get it.
"I know. Just… try something else, okay?", Ruby said, trying not to sound too mean.
Weiss huffed in annoyance and her face grew a little red with annoyance. She could be funny, damn it!
Taking a deep breath, Weiss tried to tell another joke. "What's red and smells like blue paint?", said Weiss.
Ruby tried not to look at Weiss incredulously. The answer was not only simple, but it was downright insulting how easy it was. But, Ruby decided for Weiss' ego, she needed to play along. Plus, Weiss was cute when she was being dorky.
"Umm… a freshly painted house?", was her fake guess.
"Pfft! No, you dolt! Red paint!", Weiss said, laughing. She thought it was a real knee-slapper. In fact, Weiss was doing that right now.
Ruby forced some laughter out. "Ah! Hahahah!", was her incredibly stilted sounding chortling.
Well, if it made Weiss happy, she might as well play along. By now, Weiss was laughing so much she snorted. Now THAT made Ruby genuinely chuckle. It was refreshing to see her girlfriend act like a dork occasionally.
Her laughing slowing down, Weiss wiped away a stray tear from the corner of her eye.
"See? I CAN be funny!", boasted Weiss. Maybe she should go to standup night that the Student Council hosted monthly. Now that would be fun to do.
Ruby patted Weiss on the shoulder. "Of course you are, sweetie.", she said. She tried not to sound too patronizing. It was a good thing that Weiss didn't notice, otherwise she would have flipped her lid.
As if the time just flew by, Team White Rose found that the building where the Theater Club was located was looming nearer in the distance.
"Come on, race you there!", Ruby cried, activating her semblance. As rose petals drifted around her, Weiss gaped in the direction of Ruby.
"Hey, wait! I wasn't ready!", Weiss futilely yelled at Ruby. It was too late. Ruby was already far ahead of her.
Activating a glyph, Weiss launched herself into the air, Flying was always better than running! Maybe bird Faunus were better than Humans in that regard, she absentmindedly thought. But, wings had nothing on her glyphs.
Ruby dashed down the walkway, leaving massive clouds of dust and rose petals in her wake. "Maybe I can get a reward for winning!", Ruby thought. A deep kiss would be nice enough. Taking it further than that would make the prize even better. Ruby drooled a little at the thought.
The doors were in sight now. Ruby was going to win! Increasing her speed, Ruby prepared to launch herself through the doors. The threshold would make for a good finish line. But, before she could get inside the building, something landed on top of Ruby.
Weiss didn't plan on landing on Ruby. In fact, she aimed her decent towards the ground in front of the doors. But, she didn't expect Ruby to pick up her speed at the last minute. On the plus side, Ruby made for as good a cushion as an anti-gravity glyph. On the downside, Weiss was worried that she crushed her girlfriend.
"Oh gods! Are you okay Ruby?!", Weiss cried as she climbed off of her.
"No Mommy, I don't wanna pet parrot.", Ruby mumbled in her dazed state.
Weiss was genuinely confused at Ruby's response. "Huh?", sounded Weiss.
Ruby shook her head vigorously. Luckily, her aura took the brunt of the hit. She was just a little shocked from the blow, that was all. And no, Weiss really wasn't her mom. That would be really weird and gross. Like some kind of twist on the Electra Complex, or whatever it was called.
"Oww…", Ruby groaned. Looking around, she then said, "So, who do you think won that?".
Man, Ruby bounced back pretty quickly. "I'd say it was a tie.", was Weiss' decree.
"I think you're right.", Ruby stated, trying to pick herself up. Weiss grabbed her hand and hoisted Ruby up.
"Sorry about that…", Weiss apologized, dusting off Ruby's dress.
"Don't worry about it. People could die in weirder ways.", Ruby said. Weiss and Ruby knew that fact pretty well. It wasn't exactly a secret that Blake thought that being smothered by Yang's breasts was a good death. To be fair, a large portion of the male student body probably thought the same thing.
Ruby turned to face the door. "Shall we?", Ruby asked, gesturing to the doors.
"Of course.", Weiss replied. Ruby zipped past her and held the door open.
"M'lady.", Ruby complimented as she bowed.
"Why, thank you, brave knight.", Weiss said, playing along with Ruby. Being dorky once in a while wasn't a bad thing.
Together, the duo entered the building. Hopefully, Velvet was in there. That was a pretty safe bet, though.
Velvet was spending her time typing in her office. However, it wasn't club related. Instead, it was a message from her new friend, 'ShadowCat333', who she met on a fan fiction website. She was typing a message under the name 'Magus Rabbit'. If one was to look over Velvet's shoulder to read what she was typing (but that would be rude to do), her scroll would read:
I definitely approve of the whole 'magic clit' thing. You could get a lot of mileage out of it. A futa scene because of it would only make the chapter better. But, I still think you should include my character in the story. How could a powerful sorceress be a bad thing?
Pushing the send button, Velvet felt confident that the author would accept her ideas. It was nice to have someone share an interest in writing, even if it was kind of smutty. Clicking on the 'ShadowCat33' icon, she looked at the list of her stories. Opening one, she looked over to the door to see if it was fully closed. It was absolutely embarrassing when she got caught that one time.
Standing up, Velvet walked over to an edge of her desk. Even though it was well worn by now, it still served it's purpose. Velvet then placed her scroll face up, and leaned over corner of the desk. Lifting up her skirt, Velvet licked her lips and focused on the story. She was going to enjoy the hell out of her private time.
Or, she would have, if there wasn't a sudden knocking at the office door. That sure startled Velvet.
"Just a minute!", she called out, dropping her skirt and closing the chapter tab. Of course she couldn't enjoy herself today.
Velvet opened the door a crack. She saw Weiss and Ruby standing there, waiting. Well, she could put aside her own needs for her friends. Sighing, Velvet opened the door.
"Weiss, Ruby! What can I do for you?", Velvet asked. If the pair was only here for a little bit, then she could masturbate in private all the quicker. No, not quicker in that way.
"Well, can we talk about that ad today?", Ruby asked, bouncing on her heels.
"Yeah, sure. Come on in.", Velvet offered as she stood aside. Weiss and Ruby walked into the Theater Club office.
Ruby sat on the corner of the desk Velvet wanted to use later, and Weiss sat in the chair in front of the desk. Velvet settled into her usual seat, behind the desk.
"What about it?', asked Velvet.
Weiss really wanted to discuss her timing, but then she figured that it wasn't really her fault. She couldn't have known that the inspector would be in the area to hear it. Instead, Weiss went to her second option.
"Why next Saturday? We didn't agree on that time.", Weiss questioned. It was true that they weren't exactly planning on having the show next Saturday. Now, they had to work extra hard to get ready by next weekend.
"Well…", Velvet started, folding her hands, "We never exactly talked about a possible date to have the show. And, I had to give the listeners SOMETHING. So, I made a split second decision.". Velvet paused, hoping that her explanation was enough.
Judging by Weiss' and Ruby's expressions, it wasn't. Velvet decided to elaborate further.
"Look, I believe in you guys. We can definitely get ready by that time. I mean, we already have the stage and we only need one set of costumes. All we need to do is practice.", she tried justifying.
Ruby and Weiss looked at each other. Velvet did bring up some good points. They never did settle on a date, and they already had everything they needed. They had no real excuse not to have the show next weekend. So, they were ready, in theory.
"I suppose you're right.", Ruby said, unconsciously tracing her finger along the desk. "But… I wish we could have talked about this.".
"Sorry, but we didn't have much of a choice.", lamented Velvet.
Ruby knew that she had nobody to blame but herself for not deciding the date. She just got too wrapped up in Weiss' problems to notice. But, she didn't regret it. Weiss would always have first priority to her.
"Is that all?", Velvet asked. She was shifting around a little in her desk chair. That chapter was just waiting for her!
"Well… How did you feel about it?", Ruby then asked, trying to drag out the meeting. It felt silly to her to just show up for a single question.
"I'm proud that we got the word out. I mean, how cool is this? It's awesome that we're another step closer now!", Velvet gushed over the show. It was true, being a part of the show was damn exciting.
"Cool, cool…so… yeah.", Ruby said, not knowing what to do now. She didn't expect talking to a friend to be so awkward. And why did Velvet keep on moving in her chair? It was weird of her to do randomly.
Weiss decided to alleviate the awkward tension. "Thanks for your time, Velvet. Be sure to keep up the good work.", she said, standing up. She then gestured Ruby to follow her out the door.
"We'll talk later?", Ruby asked before leaving.
"Of course! I like talking to you.", Velvet said with a smile. Ruby smiled back as she and Weiss left the office space.
Velvet stood up as soon as he heard the door click shut. Locking it, she then opened the chapter again on her scroll. She then walked over to the edge of her desk she usually used. It was still warm from when Ruby sat on it. Velvet liked the feeling of the heat.
Her private time actually improved because of her friend's rear warmth. Now that was a rare sentence.
Yang pretended to type something on Blake's laptop. Blake leaned over, hovering over Yang. She was clearly trying to show off her cleavage.
"Oh, secretary, what are you doing?", Blake asked, doing her best to sound like she had authority.
"I'm embezzling lien—I mean, just writing some emails.", Yang faked being caught doing something wrong.
Yang didn't know how she got pulled into this. Blake had somehow convinced her not only to not change out of her business clothes, but to engage in some office role-play as well. But, she didn't mind too much at all. It wasn't the weirdest thing they'd done before.
"Stealing money?!", Blake cried, overacting. "Well, I guess I have to fire you for breaking your company contract.".
"Please, I'll do anything to keep my job!", Yang pleaded. She got down on her knees and shifted her expression to look desperate.
Blake got a mischievous grin on her face. "Anything, you said?", she purred out. She leaned over and ripped open Yang's blouse. Inwardly, Yang was annoyed. This shirt wasn't cheap, damn it! Now she would have to get a new one. How many times would her clothes be destroyed at the hands of her team?
Blake then lifted up her skirt with one hand. "You know what to do.", she ordered.
"Y-yes, Blake", Yang stuttered. Blake grabbed her by the chin and tilted up her head with her free hand.
"That's BOSS to you.", Blake growled.
"Yes, boss.", Yang drawled out. Blake usually took charge when it came to this type of stuff.
Yang leaned forward towards Blake's crotch. In another case of horrible timing, the door of their room then swung open. Weiss and Ruby had gotten back from their meeting with Velvet.
"So, I found that coconut juice is really good for—", Weiss explained something, before freezing at the sight before the two.
Yang quickly drew her head back from Blake. Blake stared at Weiss and Ruby, like a deer Faunus in headlights.
"Err, umm, Hi! It's… uhhh.", Yang sputtered. She couldn't really think of any other way to cover up the fact that she was about to go down on Blake.
"It's exactly what it looks like…", Yang eventually sighed out. Well, this was embarrassing to all involved parties.
Ruby managed to get out some words. "I'm going to turn around and count to ten. When I turn around, please don't be like… that, please.", she said in a completely flat voice. It was almost like her mind broke at the view.
Weiss decided to turn around with her girlfriend. She didn't want to see anything that lewd today.
As Ruby slowly counted to ten, Yang and Blake covered themselves up and tried not to look like they had been caught role-playing in a pervy way.
"Ten.", Ruby said as she turned around with Weiss. Yang and Blake were at least presentable, now.
Ruby immediately switched to a cheerful demeanor. "Hey, guys! What'd ya do while we were away?", she asked, sounding chipper. It was astounding how much Ruby was willing to completely block out things she didn't like.
Blake decided to play along with Ruby's train of thought. "Oh, I just caught up on my book quietly.", she said. That wasn't exactly a lie. She did read quite a bit, before trying to squeeze in some 'girlfriend time' with Yang.
"Awesome!", Ruby said, skipping over to the dresser and pulling out some pajamas. For Ruby, her day had officially ended.
Team WBY all looked at each other, a little confused. Collectively shrugging, they just decided to move on from what happened. Sighing in frustration, Blake walked over to the bathroom.
"Where are you going?", Weiss asked.
Blake didn't look over her shoulder to answer her. "Don't bother me for ten minutes.", she said, closing the door behind her. She briefly popped out to grab a book, and then closed the bathroom door behind her again.
Weiss and Yang decided to get into their night clothes as well. Now that Weiss thought about it, she was feeling pretty tired as well. This day was absolutely draining, considering all that happened today.
Weiss crawled into her bed, with Ruby at her side. Ruby felt very warm net to her. It was relaxing. Closing her eyes, Weiss quickly fell asleep. Ruby soon followed after her. What a day today was.
What a day indeed.
And, there you have it! Another chapter gone by! Man, they grow up so fast. It makes an author proud to see them out here, free to live their own existence. Anyway, I hope you liked the story. Be sure to tell me how much it sucked/not sucked in the reviews section below. This is The Draigg, signing off here and now, for now.
