As Jet led Ruby inside, she marvelled at all of the jewelled decorations, and nearly missed who Jet was speaking to at the receptionist's desk.
"Hi Nouvelle!" Jet said, as she beamed in recognition at her leader, shaking his hand and Ruby's when Jet gave Ruby a gentle tap on the back.
"Good Evening, Master Jet and Mademoiselle Ruby, and happy birthday as well." Nouvelle said, tilting her head towards Ruby as she nodded in appreciation.
"Do I have to say anything?" Jet asked, and Ruby was about to comment on the weirdness of that question when Nouvelle cut her off with her answer.
"No. First class room for ze night, along with ze higher gold tier breakfast for two and VIP pass for tomorrow." Nouvelle recited, as Jet turned to Ruby, who barely kept her mouth shut in awe.
"All paid for in advance." he said with a smile. Nouvelle cleared her throat, and they both turned back to face her.
"Actually, I was able to give 'im a cheeky little discount, as my present for you." Nouvelle whispered to Ruby. "Shall I show you to ze room?"
"That would be preferable, yes." Jet said, assuming a formal tone, and Nouvelle led Ruby and Jet up a flight of stairs, and passed by several rooms, with a large distance in-between each door. Another flight of stairs later, and they passed through another set of the same rooms, until they reached a golden door.
Nouvelle handed Jet the key, and took her leave. Jet then turned to Ruby, his hand on the door.
"Welcome to possibly the best night's sleep you'll have!" he said, before throwing the door wide open.
Ruby gasped. She had been expecting a small room, but instead was treated to the sight of a room several times larger than her own dorm room. A luxuriously soft red carpet coupled with a grand four poster bed that dwarfed the floating bed she normally slept in sitting to her right. The wall paper was a dull gold colour, and a noticeably empty wall on her left. Directly in front of her sat a gold trimmed door, and the room was bathed in a warm ceiling light that hung from the centre of the ceiling.
Ruby was looking at all of this in awe and barely noticed as Jet sat her down on the bed. Returning to her senses, Jet pointed over at two small suitcases which had been resting in the corner of the room.
"I took care of the baggage in advance." he said, smiling as Ruby beamed at him, then pulled her in for a kiss. It was the most passionate kiss they'd had in a long time, easily eclipsing what Ruby had felt before. She was practically melting into his touch, and as the kiss continued, she began to feel… urges. It was the only way she could describe it to herself.
As they broke apart, a small sliver of saliva still hung between them, before it broke, and Jet smiled warmly at her.
"And now, for the main event!" he chuckled, leading Ruby to the door she'd seen before.
Ruby leaned back into Jet's arms as he began. They were both in bathing suits, and sitting in a fairly large spa bath, so large that Ruby or Jet could fully immerse themselves in the soapy warm water. Jet had his wings outstretched, soaking them in the smothering warmth of the spa, and had turned Ruby around, before whispering in a voice part-seductive and part casual, "Time for the present itself."
Jet began to massage Ruby's bare shoulders, and she relaxed as he worked out all the knots and course areas, bringing her to a state of pure happiness as she felt him slowly work his way down, gentle yet firm, and Ruby felt the magic of his every touch. Every now and then, a particularly tight knot would cause Jet to apply a little more pressure, but Ruby simply lay there, enjoying the rush of pleasurable sensations.
Jet applied his strength to Ruby's lower back, and she felt him press, eliminating all the knots as she felt her whole body loosening. Jet then turned Ruby around, and put his soapy hands on her neck, repeating what he'd done on her back, moving down her chest, avoiding her private parts as he moved, slowly but sensually, across Ruby's leg.
Once he had finished, Ruby felt like dough in his hands as she floated towards him, intent in her eyes. She was a little disappointed that he hadn't attacked her more sensitive areas, but she grasped an outstretched wing before pulling herself closer to Jet, curling herself around him and maximising contact. Jet then started to soak Ruby's hair, reminding her of when Yang used to do it, and she knew what was coming next.
He pulled a bottle of rose scented shampoo and filled his palm with it, before rubbing it into her hair, the lather quickly frothing over the red and black locks. Jet then used a glyph to pour water onto Ruby's hair, careful not to let any soap splash onto her face. Normally, Ruby would have scorned him at this point, but he was doing everything he could to make this a special night, and she could not deny his touches were making her feel like a princess. Weiss would be jealous.
Jet finally finished, before letting the plug out of the bath. Both rose, and without a word, slipped into separate rooms to dry off and get changed into their night clothes. With a start, Ruby realised that Jet had already moved her pyjamas to the room she was in, almost as though he had planned this several steps in advance.
As she returned to the bedroom after drying her hair and changing, she found Jet already on top of the bed. He grinned, and waggled a finger in a 'come hither' gesture.
"Wait till you find out how comfortable this bed is."
Ruby was the first to awake to the sounds of heavy breathing. Groggily, she lay back into the heavenly comfort of the bed, her body brushed Jet's, reminding her of what they'd done together.
Savouring the moment, she began to delicately play with the feathers in Jet's wings, tweaking them, feeling their softness against her skin. She didn't even feel embarrassed by the fact that they were both in bed together.
Jet sighed peacefully as Ruby continued to play, moving closer and closer to the point where his wings met his back. She slowly rubbed the joints, eliciting a groan of pleasure. How Jet was still asleep Ruby would never know, but she was glad she got this chance to explore. Her hands moved to his neck while her chest met his back.
Suddenly, without warning, Jet reached back, and turned around, causing Ruby to give a little 'eep' in surprise. His gaze met hers, and Jet pecked her on the cheek, before looking at the time. It read 6:00, much too early. So he turned to Ruby, and held her in his arms, before doing something she didn't think was possible.
He started to sing, in a calm, smooth voice, loud enough for Ruby to hear yet as quiet as a whisper in reality.
"I… see... you… clear as the sun,
Shining as… a brilliant light,"
Ruby was beginning to feel her eyes closing shut as a wave of tiredness hit her.
"Glowing from… a gentle pillow,
Shining as… the life continues,"
Now Ruby felt her will to stay awake fading as the pace of the song crept up a tiny notch.
"But now night is creeping,
As you lay there, beaming,
Ne'er will you stop dreaming,
As it gives you feeling,"
Ruby knew she wouldn't last, and only barely heard the last part of the lullaby before she dozed off.
"Sleep…now,
Close your petals,
Sleep…now,
As night falls down."
Jet was soon rewarded by the sounds of Ruby's heavy breathing, and knew that his copied Semblance had done its job. It was called Mystical Melody.
Losing focus, Jet was not long after Ruby in falling asleep, and he cuddled into Ruby as he did, loving her like no-one else in the world. He was her 'crown jewel', and he would pour his heart out to her every day, if only for a single dose of her own love.
As Ruby had not expected, by the time she'd woken up next, breakfast in bed awaited her. Jet really was spoiling her too much. She didn't mind, however.
As Jet came out of the bathroom (he'd just taken a shower) he sat down on the opposite side of the bed from her. She turned to face him, and was about to tell him that the breakfast in bed really wasn't necessary, when she saw his face. He was wearing a serious expression, almost like he was considering his move in a very serious game of chess.
"Ruby, there is a very serious talk that I need to have with you. Are you alright for it?" Jet asked, his voice also conveying the gravity of the subject.
"What's wrong?" Ruby asked, feeling the icy cold grip of fear.
"Ruby… this might sound like a stupid question, but I need to hear it. Why do you love me?" Jet queried, and Ruby saw a small blush creep to the surface. She thought about that for a good five seconds (the longest time for her) before answering.
"Well… you're fun, handsome, gentle, and you're a weapons freak like me." Ruby answered quickly, and Jet waved a hand as if to say 'Slow down'. "Sorry. Most of all, you see me for who I am, not where I am. Does that cover it?" Ruby asked, hoping to get out of this as soon as possible. Jet clearly had other plans though.
"I'm going to be frank, Ruby." Jet stated. "I don't know what I'm going to do."
"What do you mean?" Ruby pressed, desperate to get to the bottom of this, suffering inside at Jet's pained expression.
"Once I become a hunter and my personal duties are fulfilled, what then? I'm currently a Grimm hybrid who's murdered and I don't have any direction. Where will I fit in?" Jet asked aloud. Ruby moved closer to him, and cupped his band in both of hers, throwing off the covers of the bed.
"You'll be with me. We'll both be hunters, Jet." Ruby whispered. "We'll find who made you do that and make them pay, then you and I'll work as hunters. If-if you want to, of course."
She saw Jet grin, and knew she'd succeeded in cheering him up.
"Thanks Ruby. Now, let's eat, and then I'll show you what else I have planned." Jet said, getting off the bed. At Ruby's shocked expression, he laughed. "You didn't think it was over yet, did you?"
