Here we are at Chapter 37. Time for part two of the first date between Velvet and Ruby. Hopefully Yang won't mess this up. Anyway, I do not own RWBY or Tales of Berseria. They belong to their respective owners. Here's chapter 37. Enjoy.
Chapter 37: Date Night – Part 2
Velvet and Ruby walk into the bakery, while Yang's group hold back a moment before spying on them through the store window.
Ruby and Velvet find a table near the back to themselves, and Velvet helps Ruby into her seat.
"So what would you like? You get to choose," Velvet asks.
Ruby hums in thought, "Hm, I think I'll start out with some strawberry cake for right now. Can you get a slice for each of us?" Ruby asks.
"While I don't have much of a sweet tooth, I guess I can make an exception for you. I'll be right back," Velvet says and walks up to the front counter.
"Good afternoon, mam. How may I help you today?" the cashier asks.
"Two slices of strawberry cake, for now please," Velvet replies.
"Very good. I'll be back in a sec," the cashier says before leaving the front. Velvet waits while the cake is getting prepared. She looks back to see Ruby waving to her, which she returns with a smile. A moment later, the cashier returns with two plates, each carrying a slice of the cake she ordered. "Here we go, two slices of strawberry cake. Is there anything else you want?" he asks.
"No, that will be all for now. Thank you," Velvet says and pays for the cake before returning to her table. "I believe this is your cake," she says as she places one plate in front of Ruby. Ruby gets a huge smile on her face and even starts drooling a little bit at seeing the piece of cake in front of her, with several strawberries on top of whit icing. "You're drooling, Ruby," Velvet notes with a smile as she sits down in her seat.
Ruby shakes her head and rubs the drool off her face, "Oh, sorry. I just love strawberries. And having them as part of a cake makes it even better," Ruby cheers.
"Well, don't wait on me. Let's enjoy, shall we," Velvet says as she picks up a fork and begins to eat her slice.
The two take small bites of their cake, trying to enjoy it as much as possible. Meanwhile, Yang, Weiss, and Blake watch outside the store with interest.
"Oh, don't they look cute together. Ruby's number one weakness, besides Velvet and Crescent Rose, is strawberries," Yang notes.
"Wait, not chocolate chip cookies. I figured that was her number one weakness considering how much of those she eats. It honestly surprises me that she hasn't gained weight from eating them so much," Weiss notes.
"Believe me, Ruby loves her cookies, but her favorite treat is actually strawberries. And having them with cake makes it even harder for her to resist. I've used that as a bribing tactic for her in the past. Works every time," Yang replies.
"I'm just waiting for when Velvet notices us and threatens you to back off before she gets mad that we were spying on her and Ruby's date," Blake adds.
"She's not gonna find out. We're fine, don't worry," Yang waves it off.
However, Velvet throws a subtle glance out the window, noticing the group like she did earlier. However, she then notices a piece of cake on a fork get put in front of her face, making her look back at Ruby.
"What are you doing?" she asks.
"Duh, what does it look like? I'm feeding you. All couples do this. Now, say 'ah'," Ruby says, inching the piece of cake closer to Velvet's face.
Even though it was a little embarrassing, Velvet sighs and opens up her mouth to eat the offered piece of cake. Ruby giggles and then notices that Velvet offers up a piece of cake from her slice as well, showing a little red on her face.
"Well…you said this is what couples do, so…" she trails off.
Ruby giggles again and opens her mouth, allowing Velvet to slip her piece inside. Ruby enjoys the cake piece, but she enjoys the loving gesture from Velvet even more, which makes Velvet smile.
Outside, Yang almost squeals at the loving display, "AH, that is SO cute! It's almost like they're married!" she says, trying to keep her squeal down.
"Should we ask if a ring is included in this little plan of yours?" Weiss asks.
"Oh no, they haven't been together nearly long enough for that step. Besides, if Dad had heard about something like that this early, he'd go nuts, and we haven't even told him that Ruby and Velvet are an item yet," Yang replies.
"Well, I guess that's good," Weiss says.
Blake then leans in to Weiss, "Thinking about a ring between you and a certain blonde?" she whispers as a joke, making Weiss blush a deep red.
"I-I-I have no i-idea what you're t-t-talking about!" Weiss quietly retorts before turning her head away to hide her blush, making Blake chuckle.
"Huh, is something wrong, guys?" Yang asks.
"It's nothing!" Weiss quickly shoots her down.
Back inside, Velvet and Ruby finish their cake and prepare to leave, but then Velvet gets one idea.
"Hold on a second. I'll be right back," Velvet says before walking back up to the front. "Can I get a dozen chocolate chip cookies?" she asks.
"You got it," the cashier says and a moment later, comes back with a small box of cookies and puts it in a bag for Velvet. "Here you go," he says, handing her the bag.
"Thank you," Velvet says as she pays for the cookies and walks back to Ruby. "Ready to go?" she asks.
"Sure. What's that?" she asks, pointing at the bag.
"Cookies for you. But you'll have to wait at least until we get back to Beacon," Velvet answers.
"Oh, yay! Thank you, Velvet! You're the best!" Ruby cheers as she wraps her arms around Velvet's left arm.
"You're welcome. Now come on let's go," she says and they begin to make their way out of the bakery. However, as they do, they notice the cashier from earlier getting ready to head out as well. "Are you going on break?" Velvet asks.
"No. My shift's over. I only handle the mornings and afternoons when business is going, not in the later afternoon before we close. Someone else takes over at this time. It starts to get slow around this time of day, though I'm sure things will get busy once the Vytal Festival begins. Why?" he asks.
"Could you do a small favor for me?" Velvet asks, leaving both the cashier and Ruby confused.
Back outside the bakery, the other three members of Team RVWBY quickly move to find a hiding spot when they see the young couple make their way towards the exit. They hide behind a corner of the building and peek around to see Velvet and Ruby walk out and head off in one direction.
"Okay, time to go to our next destination. Let's go," Yang says as the three get ready to follow them again.
However, they are suddenly stopped by the cashier as he leaves the building and looks at them.
"Ah, I was hoping I'd find you," he says to Yang.
"What? Do I know you?" Yang asks, a little confused.
"The older girl that just left with her girlfriend asked me to give this to you," he says and hands Yang a folded up piece of paper. "Well, take care," he says and walks off.
"Wait, was he talking about Velvet? Does that mean that she knows that we were following them?" Weiss asks as she stares at the folded piece of paper.
Yang shrugs her shoulders and opens up the paper. Inside is a message that reads "I've known you've been following us for a while now. Stop following us, or else Ruby is gonna have to file a missing person's report for all THREE of you. Velvet." After reading the message, the three girls can't help but feel that Velvet would make good on that warning and laugh nervously with a little sweat dripping down their foreheads.
"I guess she knows," Yang says, her nervousness clearly showing as the paper shakes in her hands.
"Perhaps we should leave them alone," Weiss suggest, to which the other two nod in agreement.
"Well if I want to keep my life, then I'll be going. I'm going to stop by the local bookstore and see what they got before I head back to Beacon. See you guys later," Blake says and then leaves.
"Well, if our little adventure is over, then I suggest we head back to Beacon. I'd like to get some studying done, thank you very much," Weiss says.
"Actually, I was hoping we could do something else…now that we have the chance," Yang says, rubbing the back of her head.
"And what could possibly be more important than studying?" Weiss asks, narrowing her eyes and hands on her hips.
Yang then gets a little nervous, "Well…I was thinking…that maybe…you and I could…go on that date now," Yang slowly suggests. Weiss' posture relaxes as she wasn't expecting that answer, getting a little pink on her cheeks. They did agree to a date after all back at the dance. Getting worried that Weiss hadn't said anything, Yang tries to diffuse the situation. "Or if you're not ready for that yet, then I guess we can go back to Beacon. I'm sorry I brought it up," Yang apologizes.
"I didn't say I was against it," Weiss corrects her.
"Wait, what?" Yang quickly asks.
Weiss sighs, "I suppose taking a few more hours off from studying won't kill me, and we are already here in Vale. Might as well make the best of this opportunity while it lasts," she says.
"So, you're okay with going out on a date with me right now?" Yang quickly asks again, her hands practically held in a begging motion.
Weiss shakes her head, but can't help but smile at the blonde's eagerness, "Yes, you may take me on a date now. Just make sure you don't do anything or take me anywhere that will make me change my mind," she says.
"Yes! I mean, uh, of course," Yang cheers before composing herself and offering her left arm to Weiss, "So, shall I escort you to our destination, milady?" Yang asks.
Weiss actually chuckles a little bit at this, but accepts the arm nonetheless, "Yes, you may. A proper young lady like myself does need an escort when in the city after all," she replies.
"Then let us be on our way," Yang says and the two walk through the city. "So, where do you want to go for our first date?" Yang asks.
"Well, it is getting pretty late in the afternoon, and it won't be long before the sun begins to set, so how about a place to have some dinner?" Weiss suggests.
"Sounds good to me. Any place in particular that you'd like to go to?" Yang asks.
"Well, I know this nice spot that has exquisite seafood. Let's go there," Weiss says.
"Alright, well then lead the way," Yang says and they head off. After a few minutes of walking, Weiss points at the restaurant that she suggested. The sign had some fish on the front with a lobster wearing a chef's hat on top and a few cooking utensils in its pincers. "Here we are," Weiss says and they walk in.
The two walk towards the podium and wait a few minutes before someone comes to escort them to their booth. Luckily for them, it is still a little early dinner-wise, so there aren't a whole lot of people inside, meaning they wouldn't have to wait long for their food to come either. After getting their seats and menus, the two order their drinks, an iced tea for Weiss and a soda for Yang, before their waitress leaves and gives them a few minutes to decide on what to order.
"So, what are you having?" Weiss asks.
"Well some of the stuff on here looks really good, and luckily for me, it's not too expensive. I was a little worried that you'd take me to some five-star restaurant where even the appetizers would be around fifty lien," Yang says.
"Hey, what's that supposed to mean?" Weiss asks, a little annoyed.
"Nothing, it's just I don't have nowhere near as much money as you do, Weiss. Kind of makes it hard for me to go to pricier places. Plus it would be hard to get things for you or take you to on a proper date with my low budget," Yang quickly replies.
"Yang, you don't have to that kind of stuff for me. I can easily pay for all that," Weiss says.
"That's not the point. I want to do things for you. I want you to have a good time, but most of all I want to make you happy, so…" Yang trails off as she looks away.
Hearing this makes Weiss show a soft smile, "Oh, you beautiful blonde brute," she thinks before she rests her hand on Yang's, getting her attention. "You DO make me happy, as surprising as that sounds. The fact that you worry so much about my opinion and about what I would like or want makes me happier than you know. It shows how much you care," she says.
Yang blushes a little at this, but reciprocates the smile, "Thanks Weiss. Being with you makes me happy too. I remember what you told me about your family. How, aside from your older sister, there really wasn't much room for familial love in that household. I don't exactly know what that feels like. I mean, MY mom left me after I was born, and though Summer cared for me like a daughter, eventually she died years later. It was tough, but I had Dad and I had Ruby and Zwei with me, and we all loved and cared for each other. I want you to know what that's like," Yang says.
"So, is this all out of some sense of pity for me?" Weiss in a slightly mocking tone.
"What, no! I want you to feel appreciated, and cared for. I told you I want you to be happy, and I want to make you happy. I mean-," Yang quickly says before Weiss puts a hand on her lips.
Weiss giggles, "It's okay. I know what you meant…Thank you Yang. I'm really lucky I got to meet you," she says.
"Actually, I think I'm the lucky one. I am here on a date with a gorgeous gal like you after all," Yang replies.
"Speaking of which, let's get back to figuring out what we're gonna eat," Weiss says as they look back at their menus. But then a thought hits her. "By the way, what else did you and Blake plan out for Velvet on her first date with Ruby?" she asks, curious.
Yang just shows a mischievous grin, "Oh, just one little thing for when they get back to Beacon. Just the two of them," Yang says.
…
Back at Beacon, Ruby and Velvet return to their dorm after having dinner at a local restaurant. When they enter, they find their room to be empty.
"Huh, I wonder where everyone went," Ruby wonders.
"Of course they wouldn't be here. Yang told me as much. Hopefully it'll stay that way if they want to live to see their next birthdays," Velvet thinks as she walks in behind Ruby. "Beats me. But, at least we get some peace and quiet for a little while. Can't argue with that," she says.
Ruby goes and flops down on Velvet's bed since it was the closest, "What a long day," she says, yawning a little bit.
Velvet sits next to her, "What, did our date not do it for you?" Velvet asks mockingly.
Ruby quickly sits up, "What?! No! It was awesome, it's just that we spent almost all day in Vale. I'm just tired. Not that I'm tired of being with you. I would never get tired of being with you because I care about you so much. I mean…" Ruby's voice goes a mile a second before Velvet shuts her up with a quick peck on her lips. "…Um…Uh…Um," Ruby stutters.
"I guess it's a good thing I know that I can leave you speechless when I want to," Velvet says, smirking.
Ruby laughs nervously, "Heh-heh-heh, sorry about that," she says.
"It's alright. Your quirkiness is one of the things that I like about you so much," Velvet says, making Ruby blush at the compliment. "However, there's still one more thing I had planned for our date tonight," she says.
"Like what? Where are we going this time?" Ruby asks.
"Nowhere. It's nothing too extreme. Though, I would like to take a shower before then. I'll let you go first," Velvet says.
"Um, okay," Ruby says, a little confused before she gets up and grabs her pajamas and a towel before heading into the restroom.
With Ruby gone for the moment, Velvet breathes a heavy sigh as she tries to mentally prepare herself for the last step in this date.
"I can't believe Yang and Blake thought of this. At least they know I would never take it too far with Ruby…well, not until I know she's ready for something like that," she thinks as she blushes a deep red.
A few minutes later, Ruby comes out in her pajamas, "Okay Velvet, your turn," she says.
"Okay, but first, I need you to sit down on the bed and close your eyes. Keep them closed until I get inside the restroom, and then close them again before I come out, okay?" Velvet asks.
"Um, okay," Ruby says and sits down on Velvet's bed, closing her eyes. Using this chance, Velvet grabs a towel and something else and enters the restroom. When Ruby hears the door close, she opens her eyes and waits for Velvet to get done in the shower. Several minutes later, she hears the shower turn off and closes her eyes again, listening as Velvet opens the door.
Velvet stands in front of Ruby, "Okay, you can open your eyes now," she says.
Ruby opens her eyes, and quickly blushes at seeing Velvet in her pretzel bikini swimsuit from the other day, "Um, Velvet, why are you wearing your swimsuit? Are we going to the pool?" she asks, a little nervous.
"No, we're not. The truth is, I wanted to do something special for you, for all you've done for me, and after talking with Yang and Blake, this is what I came up with. Don't worry, I wasn't planning on doing anything serious. I just need you to lie on your stomach. Can you do that?" Velvet asks.
Ruby remains still for a moment, but then slowly nods and does as she was asked. However, after she lays down, Velvet moves to sit on her lower back, making her blush get darker.
"W-what are you doing?" she stutters.
"…This," Velvet whispers and then places her hands on Ruby's back before she starts giving Ruby a massage. "Yang gave me a few pointers on this, so you can thank her later for this," she says as she works her hands on Ruby's back.
Feeling the sensations on Velvet's hands as they relieve the stress on Ruby's muscles make her sigh in contentment. A few moans escape her lips, but she quickly tries to cover her mouth in embarrassment. Velvet just chuckles as she continues to massage Ruby's back, helping her relax. After a few more minutes, Velvet leans a little closer to Ruby.
"So, feel any better?' Velvet asks.
"Oh yeah. This feels nice. Best date ever," Ruby sighs, eyes closed.
"Good. Now then, turn back around," Velvet asks, and Ruby rolls onto her back, and sees how close their faces are. "And now for the finishing touch," Velvet whispers before she pulls Ruby into a deep kiss.
The younger girl melts into the kiss, wrapping her arms around Velvet's neck as she feels Velvet's bare skin against her body. Her hands slowly move downward, exploring Velvet's body just as Velvet's hands do the same. However, Ruby quickly pulls away before things get too serious.
"Um, Velvet, I like this and all, but I'm not quite ready for…that," Ruby says, nervous.
"It's okay. I won't force you to do anything you're not comfortable with. I'm not really ready for that next stage also. I'll go at your pace okay," Velvet calms her worries.
Ruby nods, "Thanks, Velvet. But, can we at least kiss a little more?" she asks.
"I wouldn't want it any other way," Velvet says before bringing Ruby in for another passionate kiss.
Yeah, Ruby can definitely say that this was the best first date ever.
And that's the chapter. I had that idea at the end for a while and I wanted to put it in without being too mature. Got to stick to the rating now. I also wanted to do another Freezerburn scene for Yang and Weiss. Well, Ruby and Velvet had their first date. Will they have more in the future? Will Yang suffer Velvet's wrath for spying on them? Until then, please Read and Review.
