A/N:

Well, rating is M now for reference to adult material. And props to Master Kosa for calling this. But from here on out, I've got nothing put aside so everything will be freshly written before I post it. As always, enjoy!

"I can't believe she had them monogrammed…" Weiss sighed as she looked with Ruby at the matching pair of garments sitting inside the box.

"I'm more surprised that she actually found a place to buy them if they're really old." Ruby replied, also lost in the glittering red R and sparkling blue W that shone on the front of the metal pieces. "Plus, the sizes are right."

"Chastity belts were common hundreds of years ago, but these were obviously custom made…" Weiss commented dryly. "Can we please move on from this topic now?"

"Sure… I guess I just pictured them differently…. And you have to admit, they do look like armour. But what's the rest? Are we doing an interrogation?" Ruby asked, dropping the two items back into their respective boxes. She picked out another item and flipped it around in her hand. "And this looks like a big version of Zwei's collar. Why does it have a ruby on it though? Shouldn't it have a place to hang the tag? Or is it something else that just looks the same?"

"R-Ruby, give me that." Weiss didn't wait and snatched the item from Ruby's hand before replacing it in it's box. "D-don't take any of the other stuff out and I'll t-tell you what they're for, okay?"

"Okay." Ruby deflated slightly but perked up again when Weiss wrapped her arm around her back.

"It's really not appropriate." Weiss began nervously. "All of these are… do I really have to say?"

"No, but I want you to." Ruby replied while she pulled Weiss closer to her side. Weiss felt her reluctance crumble as Ruby's hand slowly rubbed at her waist.

"Th-they're all… s-sex… things." She couldn't keep the stutter from her whisper as a fresh blush bloomed across her face.

"See? Not too hard, is it?" Ruby giggled distantly, as if she was thinking. She pointed to the thinnest of the small boxes and continued. "I could put that much together myself because of that one, but I don't get the rest."

"I really, really don't want to get into this with you." Weiss was trying to fan her face that felt as if it was burning off. "I'm going to kill my sister."

"Weiss, it's fine. I'll just ask Yang, you know she'll answer me." Ruby argued slyly. "Or I'm sure Uncle Qrow knows about these things too."

"Nope, not happening! Fine! If you want to know so badly then I'll tell you." Weiss snapped, her patience finally worn out. She didn't need the promise of Yang's teasing or Qrow possibly attacking Winter to know that everyone probably had the better chance to survive if she was the one to explain. "Those are restraints, and that's a blindfold, and that's a collar. It looks like it has an attachable ring so you can use a rope with the collar like a leash. You already know what that is, so I'm not going into it. And then that last box has a lot of rope to use on the… other pieces. The last box looks like chain for the same thing as the rope."

"Hmm…" Ruby nodded with a grin before continuing sarcastically. "I see I'll just have to use my imagination with your stunning descriptions."

"What did you want from me?" Weiss replied with a pout. "And be careful how you respond or I might just make you wear that collar for the next week."

"I was sort of hoping for more than a collar…" Ruby breathed into Weiss's neck. She let out a shuddering breath as Ruby's words spurred her nerves into overdrive. Every slight movement and breath set her skin on fire as she kept repeating in her head the fact that Ruby was still a child. Even if we want to… and we are married now…. No! That's no excuse!

"Ruby, as much as I'm sure you're having fun right now, I'd really like to just close this box, forget it even exists, and go into the party. People will start to wonder where we are." Weiss said, already holding the lid to the box.

"Alright." Weiss sighed in relief and placed the lid firmly on the box, wrapping the ribbon over it to tie it shut. "Just one last question… I knew what some of that was for because of Yang being Yang, but how do you know what all that stuff is for? I mean, I can't really see Winter telling you about this sort of thing."

"Wha… um…" Weiss coughed in embarrassment as she looked down at her hands. "I was reading one of Blake's books and was… curious about what they… looked like, so…"

She picked up her scroll and gave it a generic wave before putting it away again. Ruby laughed and pulled her into a hug that just made the temperature in her head skyrocket. That definitely wasn't one of her proudest moments, but at least it saved her confusion in terms of the gift. But that didn't change the fact that it was still extremely inappropriate even if they were married. They'd only been dating almost a month and this was a bit extreme.

"How did you know about the di-… that one." Weiss changed her wording mid-sentence, not wanting to say that word if she could help it. Thankfully Ruby picked up the reference quickly.

"Uh, well Yang was going off to Beacon and this was before I was at that shop where I met Glynda…" Ruby explained into Weiss's neck so she didn't have to face her. "Yang sort of gave me one so I, and quote, 'wouldn't be lonely when she moved out.'"

"What!" Weiss couldn't believe what she'd just heard.

"Yeah… she said it would also keep me from… uh…" Ruby hesitated, trying to find a way to phrase the next part in a way that wasn't questionable. Needless to say, she failed horribly. "To keep me from… getting a real one…."

"Right…" Weiss pushed Ruby away, not making eye contact. Even though they'd both embarrassed themselves, Weiss didn't feel uncomfortable in the silence. She took a deep breath and looked at Ruby, her eyes meeting silver as they turned her way. "I have a proposal for you."

"Um…" Ruby hesitated, obviously still hung up on the topic they'd just left behind.

"Not a word of this conversation ever gets spoken of again." Weiss stated simply, feeling her blush slowly start to abate. It still had a long way to go before it vanished completely.

"I am definitely on board with that." Ruby laughed as she leaned in and captured Weiss's lips in between hers.

Weiss didn't even think as her arms wrapped around Ruby's shoulders and she pressed herself deeper into the kiss that set her nerves on fire at every slight movement from Ruby. She felt a dull throb in her core and gasped, allowing Ruby's tongue to dart into her mouth.

"Mmm, Ruby." Weiss moaned as she pushed Ruby back. "I don't think that's a good idea right now."

"Heh, yeah. Sorry." Ruby backed up, her breathing laboured just as much as her partner's. "I think we should get some fresh air."

"That is an idea I can get behind." Weiss nodded as Ruby opened the door and got out. She reached back and offered her hand to Weiss and helped her out of the car. They walked hand in hand around the side of the building to where the ball room was. It was such a nice day that it would have been a waste to walk through the building.

As they came to the doors that stood open, Weiss could see the number of people inside had already grown quite large. And there was a clear divide between the groups that had been invited. First were the sour looking Noar family that attended simply because it was against social convention to accept an invitation and not attend, though Weiss could argue it was also against the same societal rules to steal another's bride.

Next were Ruby's family and a few friends. Weiss was able to spot Nora hanging off Ren's arm while she laughed at some joke. She guessed they came once they finished their mission, judging by their combat attire and overall scruffy looks.

Finally, merging the two groups were the business men and their wives that all had some sort of social connection to her father and had been lucky enough to receive an invitation. Most were smiling and laughing at what Weiss guessed was some over-used joke that wasn't actually funny enough to incite a real laugh. But she noticed a few were talking to Pyrrha and Jaune, and a few others were with the Noar's.

She hadn't noticed her and Ruby had stopped at the door until she felt Ruby's grip on her hand tighten reassuringly for a moment.

"Are you going to be okay?" She asked quietly as she leaned into Weiss.

"Yeah… just don't go too far, okay?" Weiss replied as she spotted her father walking in their direction with a pair of business men on his heels. "I'm not going to let this turn into some business dinner."

"Don't worry, I'm not leaving your side. Ever." Ruby giggled and gave her wife a quick peck on the cheek.

"What am I going to do with you?" Weiss replied with a smile at Ruby's antics even though the conversation from the car still nagged at her. That Ruby had been almost… suggestive, yet here was the one she knew and had fallen in love with. How is it possible that you're everything I could ever think to ask for, and more?
