Hello again peeps! Glad to know y'all liked the ending to last chapter! Anyway, not a real long one this chapter, but someone new comes into the scene. Enjoy!
It was true.
Team MGNM was disbanded and expelled for reckless decisions and attempted murder.
I sighed, reading the article as I felt Ruby wrap her arms around me and ask, "What'cha readin'?"
"Nothing new," I replied, closing the newspaper I was reading from. Glancing back at her, I felt my stomach flutter as I was met with her cheerful smile. I smiled back as I stood up, dragging her up with me.
"Delta!"
I looked around, seeing Sierra with a guy I didn't know.
"Sierra?"
"And this here's Delta," she said to the person, "the last member of my team."
"Hmm," the person said, "amethyst, huh…interesting."
…what?
"Haha," Sierra laughed, "Delta, this here's Saber. He's a transfer from the next kingdom over."
"Nice to meet you," I said, reaching out to shake his hand. He took my hand as we shook, then his attention turned to Ruby. He whistled, only to let out an "urk" of discomfort as I squeezed his hand, my eyebrow twitching as I mentally stabbed him a million times in the chest. Sierra laughed as Ruby said, "I'm Ruby Rose. Nice to meet you, Saber."
"Hey," I muttered to him with my evil grin, "back off."
He shivered, backing off a bit while shaking his hand with a nervous smile. I smiled back as Ruby walked up to me and asked, "So…I'll see you later?"
"Sure Rubes," I replied, getting a peck on the cheek as she ran off to meet up with her team.
Saber kept his eyes on her as she left up until Sierra smacked his butt. My eyes widened in surprise as she said, "C'mon, hotshot, she's already taken."
With that, he sighed in disappointment as I laughed. Sierra leaned against him as she gripped her sides because she was laughing so hard. With that, I grabbed onto Sierra's shoulder and said, "C'mon, we have a class attend."
My pencil scratched along my notebook as I continued drawing the character that had been in my head all day. It was a girl, one that was still fairly young. But probably the part that made me embarrassed was the fact that she looked a little like Ruby, only with violet hair instead of red. I couldn't help but grin as I closed my notebook, hearing the bell ring.
"Del~ta!"
I glanced at Ruby, who was smiling at me.
I smiled back and asked, "You doing anything later?"
She shook her head as I reached into my pocket. I felt around, finally finding what I had been looking for. Two fairly thick pieces of paper that I had stuck in my pocket earlier.
Pulling them out, I could hear Ruby gasp, then squeal in excitement as I asked, "Wanna come with?"
"You got tickets to the Weapons Convention in Vale!?"
"Damn straight, Rubes," I replied, grinning as she quickly reached out for one. I leaned back, swinging my arm to and fro as she tried snagging one from me. Finally, I chuckled, pulling her close to me and stealing a kiss from her. I wrapped my free arm around her, sticking one in her hood as I pulled away, pulling her hood over her head. I laughed as she struggled to get her hood off, letting out a girly scream of excitement as she pulled the ticket off her hair. She motioned to run out the door with it until I caught her by her hood, yanking her back into my lap as I said, "Don't even think about it, Rubes."
"Aww…," she pouted, leaning back into me. She sighed, relaxing into my embrace as I said, "Good girl."
Ruby giggled as I continued, "I really had planned to go together with you…but if you want to go with Yang, I understand."
"Nah," she replied, "I'd much rather go with you."
My stomach fluttered again as she turned her head to face me, scooching closer as she kissed me. I pulled her closer to me, only to hear something click. Both of us pulled away in surprise, looking to our front to see Sierra and Yang with their phones out, the camera lenses pointing right at us. I felt my face heat up as they both said, "Aaaaannnnnd done."
If Ruby weren't on me, I would've ran them down to the ends of the earth. I sighed and smiled, holding Ruby closer. I could feel her stiffen up as I did as I said, "Looks like we've been leaked, Rubes."
I could hear her letting out little sounds of anxiety as Yang walked up to her, hugging her from her seated position as she said, "I'M SO PROUD OF YOU!"
"Way to go, Delta," Sierra said, walking up to us. Ruby remained stiffened on my lap as Sierra whispered in my ear, "You two better pop a few kids when we graduate."
Aaaaaannnnnnd Ruby's still on me…. Fuck. My. Life.
