RWBY does not belong to me, but to Rooster Teeth.
Don't You Wish your Girlfriend was…
Seductive Like Me
To say that Velvet was a little upset was putting it mildly: to Ruby it had been a display of her having a great time but to the Faunus, in her mind, it was a declaration from the person who didn't deserve Ruby.
Weiss knew. She knew that Velvet knew. Velvet knew that Weiss knew. It was pathetic that the only reason the Schnee heiress was even half the girlfriend one should be was because she felt threatened – threatened to lose her prize because, in all honesty, that's what it appeared like to Velvet.
Weiss saw Ruby as a prize, something to display as a trophy and only did "couple" things when absolute needed. And it sickened the brunette.
To be fair, there could be more to it than she was aware of. There had to be a reason they ended up together after all.
But Velvet dismissed it. It was clear that whatever had brought them together, it wasn't there anymore. Ruby Rose was kind, cute, beaming with energy and wanted what was best for others. She was caring and sweet, the perfect girlfriend.
The perfect mate, just like Velvet. Confidence boosted and rising thanks to the mental flip of her switch, the brunette was beginning to see herself more as an animal trying to attract a mate. Ruby was wavering; Velvet made sure to dress in cute clothes or sexy gear that had the redhead fawn or swoon to the point that just once, when they had been around campus together, some had mistaken them as a couple already.
It had hurt to tell them they were wrong but the implications were still there. They had that air around them when they were together. People saw them and found the same synergy Velvet saw between them.
A small victory. Now to take it up a notch, if only to get revenge on Weiss' stunt from a little while back.
That was why, when Ruby arrived at Team CFVY's room, Velvet wore nothing but a baggy white t-shirt and yoga pants. When the sniper embraced her, Velvet knew she'd feel everything. And she already knew how to appreciate the female body, after all, so when there was a sharp intake of air, followed by the younger team-leader's muscles stiffening, the Faunus knew what was going through the girl's mind.
Scent. Touch. Check.
She wrapped her arms around Ruby and applied gentle pressure. "It's good to see you again, Ruby!"
A yelp. "Y-You too!" The embrace was awkwardly returned as the sniper stepped back, fair-skinned cheeks now peculiarly red. "I brought the cookies and games!"
"Wonderful," Velvet purred. "So, which do you want to do first? Wanna continue the series we started on last time or do you want to go a few rounds of gaming beforehand?"
"Oh, uhm…" Even panicking, the sniper was cute as hell. "We've got to continue with the series! We're almost done with the first season, right?"
"Just a few more episodes to go." The brunette chuckled.
Too easy.
Duvets, scroll, cookies, pillows, dim lightning and an arm casually resting over Ruby's shoulders. They were lying on the floor, the scroll screen before them and a plate of cookies by their side, one duvet underneath them and the other draped over the two. Velvet scooted closer, feeling the redhead's warmth even before she placed her arm over her.
What surprised her was Ruby's lack of response. She tensed up, sure, but those muscles quickly relaxed. They lay there watching the series with interest and the Faunus couldn't be happier. It felt right. It felt as if they were already a couple. They had a close contact, they laughed and enjoyed each other's company, and it was dangerously easy for Velvet to delude herself into thinking that in such a cozy, semi-romantic setting it was okay to kiss your girlfriend, even receiving silent permission as silver eyes slowly closed—
A buzzing. A loud, sharp tune that broke the atmosphere around them.
The redhead fumbled with her scroll, panicking, and the Faunus caught a glimpse of the time: they had been watching for hours already.
"Oh, Hey Weiss." Of course. It just had to be. "I'm with Velvet, watching a series we're following. No, it's just us, why?"
Velvet rolled her eyes.
"Oh, Yang did? Okay…She hasn't texted me though, you sure? Okay, okay! I'll be there…"
A sigh.
"I'm so sorry, Velvet! Apparently, Yang needs me for something, and Weiss wouldn't say what but Yang hasn't even tried to call me—
"Ruby." She cupped the younger girl's cheek, fingers trailing underneath her chin as silver eyes stared hazily into hazel ones. "It's fine. We'll catch up later, yeah? Weiss can't keep us separated forever."
She hadn't meant to say that last part and for a moment the bunny girl panicked. The smile on Ruby's face, however, quickly burned away any shred of worry.
"Yeah…I guess not. I'll call you whenever I'm done, okay?"
"Sounds lovely."
The sniper left shortly after. It should've left the brunette dejected but instead…she mused.
"This is an interesting development…"
Interesting indeed.
