So, another oneshot on Little Dipper, please enjoy. A few things to say in the end AN but enjoy this for now.
I do not own RWBY
Vale's mid-summer blazing sun beat down on the walking couple, a thin layer of sweat covering them causing their intertwined hands to be slippery and unnecessarily slide against the other's. They were silent, only their breathing filling the air and the numerous children around them causing noise. Not a single drop of awkwardness was shared between them.
Their shoulders would occasionally brush up against each other's causing shivers to shoot through them and run down their spines despite the mild heat lingering around them. They both seemed to be dressed in their summer attire.
The indigo-haired girl had a lavender long coat, which appeared to have had its sleeves cut off revealing lightly tanned arms. Under it were thin, solid gray pants and a short-sleeved shirt of the same color. Her red clad counterpart seemed to be wearing a simple black short-sleeved shirt, black leggings and a red mini shirt along with a red cloak fastened over her shoulder.
The grip around Nebula's hand tightened a small amount as her date jumped up, excitedly pointing towards a tree. "Oh, Nebula. That one over there looks perfect for a picnic." And the tree truly was.
The stretching piece of wood and leaves sat on a relatively flat area and the leaves managed to cover a decent amount of it, shade bathing the area and looking very welcoming in the burning heat. "So it does, Ruby. Nice catch!" Nebula's voice sounded like an angel's to Ruby. Admittedly, she found no difference between Oum's messengers and Nebula herself. It was almost like her girlfriend had flown down from space, birthed from the stars. Nebula thought no different about Ruby as the red clad girl happily skipped towards the spot, dragging Nebula along with her. It was a miracle the food in their baskets didn't fall out onto the stone pathway.
When they arrived, Ruby hastily set down her basket and removed the cloth that was covering the food, straightening it out across the grassy ground. After that, they situated themselves on the cloth, though not like you'd normally think. Five seconds before Nebula's godsend had hit the ground, Ruby was already plopping herself onto her indigo-haired counterpart's lap.
"A little eager, are we?" It was by no means a question, only a statement that made Ruby blush a small amount. It was from the heat, I assure you.
"I'm only hungry and you are conveniently close to the food!" Ruby shouted out in protest, justifying her need for a cushioned seat.
"I mean, it's not like I'm complaining," Nebula laughed out, sounding just as beautiful as the galaxy itself.
Ruby's hand snatched out towards the nearest basket, pulling out to reveal a ham and cheese sandwich held within her grasp. She excitedly brought it up to her mouth, only for a blur of indigo to appear to the left of her face, bursting forward to latch its way onto her sandwich. It took her a few seconds to realize it was Nebula.
"Is it good?" Ruby asked, a slight blush dusting her cheeks as she stared into Nebula's olive eyes. The blush, for your information, was definitely from the heat. Nothing else.
"Stellar. You should try it." A smile as bright as the Sun made its way onto both of their faces.
That was how the rest of their day continued on, lasting until the Sun started to set. They exchanged bites, occasionally holding a piece of food up and sticking it into the other's mouth. By the end of the day they were absolutely stuffed and just laying within each other's arms, Ruby sitting on top of Nebula's lap and just cuddling into her neck, her warm breaths caressing her neck and a stark contrast to the now cooling air around them.
Ruby's light red cloak reflected the setting sun, a magnificent color forming on it and shining out causing Ruby to just look even more majestic in Nebula's eyes. Her hand came up, lifting Ruby's up by the chin by just a few fingers to stare into drowsy silver eyes, becoming a hazy gray from her sleepiness and the colors around her.
Her head tilted down, Nebula's lips meeting Ruby's in a gentle embrace, moving against each other and their arms wrapping around their counterparts. Their faces separated from each other's and their breaths mingled as they breathed in deeply, trying to gain back the oxygen the other had taken away.
That's how their day ended…
"I love you, Little Rose."
"I love you too, my Shining Star."
…laying in each other's arms and falling asleep under the setting sun, just bathing in their love.
