Ruby was finished with her shower. she put on a long sleeved red shirt with some jogging pants and her boots. she also put on her pendant and her cloak on.
on her way out of the showers she ran into Yang. Yang was still in her pyjamas.
"hey sis." said Ruby cheerfully. Yang looked half asleep however.
"hey sis...you know your bed isn't very comfortable *yawn* next time we share a bed were using mine." finished Yang.
"how did we end up sharing a bed anyway?" asked Ruby .Yang's cheeks grew a little red.
"well, you fell asleep in my arms on the way back to the dorm , when I got there and put you in bed you just looked so cute and I couldn't help myself...so I cuddled with you for 5 minutes...then 10 minutes...then 25 minutes...and then I woke up ." finished giggled on how cute Yang was being.
"oh Yang your so cute." said Ruby giving Yang a kiss on the lips then parting quickly.
"oh right! sorry,I forgot that were not supposed to do that in school." said Ruby . Yang just smiled.
"oh its ok , im way to tired to care right now and there's not even anyone around right now." said Yang and giving Ruby a warm kiss. Ruby felt warm on the inside and was over joyed that her and Yang were working out then broke the kiss.
"anyway ,im gonna take a really hot shower to wake bad your such an early bird and took your shower already , I would have asked you to come join me." said Yang with a seductive wink at the grew red and mentally cursed herself for taking a early shower today. she has seen Yang in her underwear while changing clothes in the dorm but shes never actually seen fully naked and wet before . And the thought gave Ruby a strange burning sensation in the pit of her stomach ,a sensation that she never felt before but liked .
"Ruby why are you smiling?" Yang broke Ruby from her thoughts and her cheeks grew red.
"Ruby were you having thoughts of me naked,oooh your a bad naughty Ruby." said Yang seductively .Ruby grew extremely red now and tried to hide by putting her hood on .
"haha love you too got any plans today?" Ruby grew less red now knowing that the teasing is done.
"I dont know I was going to ask the team what they wanted to do and maybe team JNPR too." replied Ruby.
"Alright , talk to them about it and tell me what they decide , I dont have plans so I can spend the day with you all day long." Yang finished her sentence with a wink at the end and then went into the shower grew a smile at the thought of being with Yang all day.
Ruby started walking to her dorm when she heard a loud bang coming from a down the hallway room. Ruby went to investigate the sound. when she got close to where she heard the sound she found an empty classroom door opened with the lights turned off. when Ruby opened the lights she saw Mercury in his usual attire, sitting on the floor leaning against a wall sobbing lightly and holding a photograph.
"Mercury?" Mercury looked at Ruby through teary eyes and his sight was a little blurry so he wiped away the tears and saw Ruby.
"what do you want?" said Mercury in a annoyed tone.
" I heard a noise and I thought that-" Ruby cut herself off when she saw A fist sized hole near where Mercury was sitting.
"did you punch that hole in the wall?" asked Ruby pointing at the hole. Mercury wiped some more tears from his face.
"yeah so? What are you gonna be s bitch and rat on me?" asked Mercury getting angry that Ruby was being so nosey.
"no, im not. are you ok?" asked Ruby concerned for Mercury.
"do I look ok?" Barked rubbed the back of her neck a little embarrassed.
"Right ,stupid question. Do want me to get Emerald or Cinder?" asked looked deep into Ruby's eyes.
"I dont want to talk to Emerald and I most certainly don't want to see that black haired bitch!" Yelled wanted to help Mercury so she walked up to Mercury and sat beside hid the picture he was holding so Ruby wouldn't see it.
"What are you doing?"asked Mercury.
"I want to help you." replied Ruby
"why? Me and you only know each others names,we are practically strangers." asked Mercury wanting to be left alone.
"well its just my personality to want to help everyone. And a friend once told me strangers are just friends you haven't met yet." said Ruby with a cheerful expression.
Mercury sighed.
'well she seems nice enough.' thought Mercury.
"fine."
"great! so tell what's wrong with you."Mercury smirked a little then moved his hand away and showed Ruby the picture he was holding.
The picture was of Mercury in a forest sitting on a tree stump ,and he had what looked like a very ,very short pink and brown haired girl , with a brown right eye and a light pink left eye. The girl was sitting on Mercury's lap with her arms wrapped around him and he had his arm around her waist. they both were smiling .
"awwwn that's such a cute picture." said Ruby in a kawai voice. she made a mental note to do a picture like this with Yang.
"Is that your daughter?" asked Ruby. Mercury just looked at Ruby with a blank face and then burst into laughter.
"what?!" asked Ruby .
"hahaha ,omg that was a good laugh. No,that's my girlfriend and before you ask no she's not a kid she is just very...very short." Finished Mercury with a smile,thinking about all the people that mistook her for a 12 year old ,even in high heels.
"Ohhhh. But what's the matter then? did she break up with you? " said Ruby. Mercury's smile faded away.
"no...we didn't break up..." Mercury was debating on telling her.
"so what's bothering you then?" Mercury was silent for a while then he sighed.
"Look Ruby your a sweet girl which is why i can't tell you, although I can tell you this, I have a dark past and a even darker life and its because of that life that Neo was taken away from me." finished Mercury feeling like he was about to burst into tears again until he felt Ruby wrap him up in a hug.
"Don't worry Mercury , im sure you too will see each other again." then Ruby looked around to make sure no one was listening and then whispered in Mercury's ear.
"If you ever want to talk about this or your dark past ill be their for you,and I know how you feel,my real parents were killed when I was little." Mercury's eyes widened a little.
"well I guess we have something in common then." Whispered Mercury. Ruby continued to hug Mercury until he shoved her off lightly.
"Thank you Ruby, And sorry for being pretty mean at first I dont usually get kindness from a lot of people. This talk really helped ,im gonna go spar someone to get my mind off things." said Mercury. then he got up and offered Ruby his hand to get her up.
"Anytime mercury. Ask Emerald for my number if you need me." said Ruby. Mercury nodded his head and the two left the empty class and left in opposite directions.
*team RWBY dorm room*
Weiss entered the dorm room and saw Blake sitting on her bed ,deep in thought.
"babe." said Weiss breaking Blake from her thoughts.
"huh? oh hey baby. How did you sleep?" asked Blake .
"ok I guess. you remember that trip in Port's class?" asked Weiss sitting beside Blake on the bed.
"Yeah,why?" replied Blake.
"well you remember how you told me you were going to tell me something later?" continued Weiss ,almost in a 's heart was beating faster.
'does she know? Did she follow me when I saw Jeremy?' thought Blake nervously.
"well ,you never told me what you were going to say, so what is it?" asked Weiss with a hint of Schnee stayed silent trying to think of something to tell her.
"Well you remember when she came to the dorm really late the other day? I she reeked of grimm blood, normally it wouldn't matter, like what Port said we usually kill grimm on a daily basis . But that night...Ruby smelled like she bathed in their blood and I would know I have a heightend sense of smell,she didn't even have her weapon on her,she left it at the dorm." finished Blake and the gears in Weiss's head started to turn.
"soo then in port's class when he announced that they found some grimm slaughtered by someone with their barehands you suspected Ruby,am I right?" Blake nodded.
"ok, but so what Ruby killed some grimm with her bare hands she has a very strong aura after all?" Blake looked away for a few seconds in embarrassment and then started to laugh.
"wh-whats so funny?" asked Weiss a little annoyed that the great Weiss Schnee was getting laughed at.
"heheh Oh nothing, you just made me realise that I was worried for nothing my darling girlfriend." Blake then took Weiss by the waist and pulled her onto her bed and started to kiss her. But Weiss pulled away.
"no kisses for you. That's your punishment for making me worry." said Weiss sternly crossing her arms. Blake grew a sad expression,her cat ears were even pointed down in Weiss smirked.
"but...ill kiss you anyway." said Weiss then she continued to kiss Blake on the bed. Blake was happy that Weiss was with her right now. But one thing was on Blake's mind.
'I hope Ruby doesn't hurt you Weiss...' thought Blake.
