Hello and welcome back to another Chapter! I hope you enjoy it!
I don't own RWBY, please support the official release.
Ruby's POV
"And here are a spare change of clothes for the two of you." The nurse politely said to the two of us, adding some simple t-shirts and jeans onto of our already growing pile of clothes and other accessories.
Weiss and I smile the best we can to show our thanks, though it was completely hollow. We were not in a smiling kind of mood right now, but it would be rude to not show our appreciation somehow.
"Last but not least, here is your room key." She said, placing the key on top of my pile of stuff. We do a little bow the best we can, and I speak, "Thank you miss, you've been too kind." I say to her and she just smiles. She nods at us, turns around, and walks off down the hallway.
Weiss and I look at each other, completely and utterly drained from today's events. Weiss's eyes, along with mine, were completely bloodshot from our tears. We've done nothing but cry since the end of the fight at the docks, completely worried about Blake and Yang. The doctors said that they'll be fine, but I still couldn't help but worry. I just love them too much not to.
I take the key and unlock the door for the room we would be staying in. It wasn't much, just two rooms, a bedroom and a bathroom, but we didn't care one bit. The only thing we needed was to make sure Blake and Yang were alright, and not just physically, but emotionally and mentally as well. After all of this has blown over, a long talk is going to be in our future.
We place our stuff on the bed in the room and start stripping off our blood soaked clothes. The thought makes me stiffen up a bit, I was quite ruthless in the fight, much more than usually was, and I'm afraid I might have been too ruthless. I know for a fact that I killed at least three people tonight, those two White Fang grunts that were in my wired eye beams trajectory, and another one who I sliced the throat of with my weapon.
I put the thought in the back of my head and grab the towel the woman gave me, I can worry about the morality of killing later, right now, all I want to do is take a nice long shower and decide if I'm going to go through with a plan of mine.
My cheeks heat up at the thought, but after tonight and what happened, I've learned that the most precious people to me could easily be taken away from me. I turn to Weiss and my blush becomes more pronounced, will I really go through with it?
I shake my head and make my way to the shower with Weiss not far behind. I place my towel on the sink and turn on the shower, cold water spraying onto my arm. I adjust the temperature until it is just right and Weiss and I stepped in. We could have done this separately, but we are just too tired to do so at the moment.
"We'll do you first Ruby." Weiss said in the softest voice she could manage and started to scrub me down with soap. I let out a soft moan as I feel her hands scrub up and down my back, her fingers felt like velvet against my skin. I started to wash myself as well, getting my arms first. I scrubbed the now dry blood that lingered on them, watching as the crimson liquid pours down the drain.
Those feelings pop back up in my mind and I freeze up as I watch it continue to pour. I've killed today. Sure, I've gone hunting on Patch a few times before and killed some animals, but I've never killed a person before. I honestly don't know what to think, on one hand, they tried to kill my sisters, but on the other, these were still people, with lives, dreams, and families of their own.
Apparently sensing my discomfort, Weiss spoke up, "Ruby," she said, turning me around and forcing me to look at her eyes. They are some of the prettiest things I've ever seen. "What you did was the right thing, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise." I stiffen up and mumble out, "But... I killed people today." I said in the weakest tone of voice I've ever heard come from me. I could feel the tears in my ears start to build up, the events of tonight finally catching up to me.
Weiss sighs, and speaks again, "You did, there's no denying it, but you did it for the right reasons." A lump forms in my throat as she continues to speak, "If it weren't for you Ruby... Blake would have died tonight." Her voice quivered at the last part of her sentence and a weak sob escaped my lips. I couldn't bare something like that happening. It was completely unthinkable.
"Because of you Ruby, Blake continues to live. If it weren't for you and your eye beams, Yang and I wouldn't have reached her in time. You saved her life Ruby, and all it cost was a couple of terrorists lives." She said in a strong tone of voice, like she fully believed what she was saying.
"But." I choked out, but I didn't get to continue, "But nothing Ruby. I know what you're thinking Ruby, and for that, I can't tell you how proud I am of you, it shows that you are still Human, and that you still care. But make no mistake Ruby, they signed their lives away when they willingly joined the White Fang. They know what they were signing up for, and wouldn't have batted an eye at killing Blake if we weren't there. So don't beat yourself up for killing people who don't care to kill for selfish reasons. You did the right thing Ruby, you're still a good person." The power and conviction that she had in her voice was awe inspiring, even when she started to choke up, it still left me mesmerized.
I start to sob and lean my head against her naked chest, relieved beyond belief at hearing her words. She was right, I shouldn't beat myself up over this when they were about to kill Blake, and I know they wouldn't have batted an eye over it. We continue to stand there for a little bit, our bodies pressed together. Weiss's hands clung and squeezed with all her force and I did the same. Any other time I would be extremely embarrassed and a little heated with our bodies pressed together like this, but not this time. Instead, I just took comfort in her embrace and let all my troubles pass over me.
We eventually separated and I felt a whole lot better then I did before. They really are the best, I don't know what my life would be without them.
"Now, let's get finished. I don't know about you, but I'm absolutely exhausted and want nothing more then to go to bed right now." She said in a tired tone of voice. I nodded along with her and wiped the last bit of tears from my face before I started on my arms once again.
Thankfully, there was less blood on them, but there was still a little so I had to scrub even more. Blood does not feel good, I've come to find out, especially in hair. I sigh at that, thinking of the work I'll have to do to clean it out.
I eventually get done with my arms, and just when I was about to start on my hair, I stiffen up a little bit. Weiss was now running her hands around on my butt, and I was starting to realize where I was. A massive blush appears on my face, and I have to will myself to not let out a moan of pleasure.
Instead of doing my hair, I just enjoy the feeling of Weiss groping my butt as she washed it. To my relief and disappointment, it didn't last that long. I shook the fog from my mind and then started on my hair.
I could feel the blood gluing some of my locks together, making it pretty painful to wash. I wince as I run my hands through my hair, if I had more aura to spare during the battle, then I wouldn't have this problem right now.
I was about to continue, but Weiss interrupted me, "Here, let me do it." She said, and I felt her fingers glide through my hair, her fingers feeling like silk as they passed through my locks.
I let out a moan of pleasure, feeling completely at peace as she ran her velvet like fingers through my scalp. I watch as the now red water pours from me, and I couldn't help but make a quip, "Well, I at least saved money on hair dye." I joked out, and felt a little slap on my butt. I let out a low yelp, my blush now coming back tenfold. I was just about to ask why she did that, but she beat me to it.
"Gallows humor doesn't suit you Ruby, it's more of a Yang thing, and gods know we don't need another." She said in an annoyed tone of voice that had no heat in it whatsoever. In fact, all I could sense was love and affection as she said it. I roll my eyes and think of saying something else that might have elicited the same reaction from her, I thought with a blush, but I hold myself back. Barely, but I did.
It took a solid ten minutes, but we finally got it done. Weiss let out a sigh and speaks once more, "Now with the hard part done, it's time to wash the rest." She said, looking me up and down. "We should have done your hair first and worked our way down, now there is still some blood left." She said in an annoyed tone of voice. I couldn't help but let out a little giggle at her plight and got a deadpan stare in return.
We start back once more, with me working on the front and Weiss working on my back. It didn't take as long as before, as the majority had already been cleansed from my body, but it still took a little bit of time.
"Alright, you're done." She said in a pleased tone of voice. I smile and turn around towards her, unconsciously taking a look at her nice looking boobs. A small blush appeared on my cheeks as I spoke, "Now, let's get you done so we can hit the bed." She nodded her head resolutely at that last bit.
We switched places and I was able to view her from the back. She didn't have any blood in her hair whatsoever, thank the gods, in fact, she didn't have any on her. I knew she had some on her hands from when she was doing CPR on Yang, but I guess it was cleaned when she was washing me down. My gaze goes lower as I stare at her nicely shaped butt, my blush only growing the more I stared.
"Mmhmm" I was broken out of my trance by Weiss clearing her throat. My eyes widened to the size of dinner plates as I realized I got caught, my cheeks going crimson as I realized it. I looked to Weiss and I saw a cheeky smile on her face, and was that a small blush of her own? "Like what you're seeing Ruby?" She said in a sly tone, and my blush only got worse.
"If it makes you feel better, I was staring at yours as well when we were washing you, so it would be quite hypocritical if I said something." My cheeks only got more red, but I couldn't help the smile that appeared on my face that was accompanied by a small chuckle that left my mouth.
"So, you liked what you saw?" I say, trying to get back at her for embarrassing me, but I should have known better, "As a matter of fact, I did. You have a really nice ass Ruby." Weiss said, letting out a little chuckle of her own. I stood frozen for a second before my embarrassment skyrocketed and my face goes completely scarlet, "Let's just get this done with." I mumbled out dejectedly, I should have knew she would have said that. She, along with Blake and Yang have no shame whatsoever.
Weiss just laughed some more and got back to showering. Another small smile creeps back onto my face and I just shake my head in slight exasperation. I really wouldn't want to know where I would be without them, I can't even stomach the thought. I look up and observe Weiss from the back, not just her body, but her, and the others, as a whole. I can't help but look at them with unadulterated love, especially after tonight's events.
A gaze of steel crosses my eyes, and I know what I'm going to do. I don't care anymore, I won't let fear guide and direct me, I won't let it lie to me. Whatever happens, happens.
With that thought in mind, I got to scrubbing Weiss's back, even when I got to her bottom, I didn't focus on it. My mind was somewhere else at the moment.
We didn't take nearly as long to clean her as we did me, but we did soak for a little bit at her request. Once we got out and dried off, we put on our pajamas that the hospital was nice enough to give to us.
Weiss turned off the light and approached the bed from one side, with me taking the other. The only source of light now was the moonlight above streaking down onto the bed, right where Weiss was laying.
"Goodnight Ruby, love you." She said, closing her eyes to go to sleep.
'This is it Ruby, it's time.' I told myself, and I looked to Weiss. I opened my mouth, but words refused to come out, my heart was pounding against my chest with what I was planning to do.
Weiss stirs a little bit, an uncomfortable look spreading across her face, her eyes open up and meet mine. She spoke in a concerned tone of voice, "Ruby, is there something wrong?" She asked me, and I froze up, how did she know something was wrong? By the looks on her face, it seemed that she had the same question, maybe it had to do with that mental message Blake sent to us? Did we gain a new power or something?
I mentally slap myself and focus back on the objective, "Weiss," I started in a shaky tone of voice. Her eyes widened a little bit, and I knew I had her attention then.
'No going back now, just say it Ruby. You got this!' I mentally hype myself up, and resumed, "I..." The words refused to leave my mouth, my mind going completely on what to say.
"What is it Ruby? You can tell me, don't worry." Her voice was getting more concerned and I was starting to get more frustrated. Not at her, but at myself. Just speak, damnit!
My mouth opens once more, but still, nothing came out. My heart was pounding faster and faster in my chest as I continued to stare at her, getting trapped in her beautiful blue eyes.
Why won't my words come out, it's just words, they aren't hard to say! Just say them!
"Ruby, what is wrong? You can tell me anything, you know that, right? So don't be..." She never got to finish her sentence.
Weiss's POV
My mind went completely blank as Ruby's lips connected with mine. My heart stopped and I froze like a deer caught in headlights. I didn't even process anything as my mind went on autopilot and reciprocated Ruby's kiss. My eyes slowly closed and a massive blush dominated my face as I leaned into it, being completely entrapped in her taste.
A weight that I didn't even know was there was lifted from my body and I felt a hundred times lighter for it. I felt tears start to come to my eyes as I leaned in even more. The kiss lasted all of ten seconds, but it felt like an eternity.
We slowly parted and my eyes opened up as I stared at Ruby, being completely enamored by her beauty as I looked at her. It felt like my eyes have been opened up to a whole new world of beauty.
We stare at one another for gods know how long, massive red blushes dominating our faces. But, despite that, they were completely overshadowed by our smiles.
Hers was filled with so much love and affection that it left my heart skipping a beat. I knew that I had developing feelings for them all, but I didn't know that they would be this strong. All I could think about as I stared at Ruby was how much I love her and the others, and not in a familial kind of way.
Ever since coming to Beacon, my feelings for them have been all over the place. From our first day, to Forever Fall, and to today with the docks, my feelings for them have expanded massively. In my short time here at Beacon, I've come to realize just how much they mean to me. These are the kind of people that I want to be with, that I want to spend my life with.
Now, with the kiss I just had, those emotions have only skyrocketed. There's nothing in this world that I love more than them.
Ruby's smile somehow brightens even more as she closes her eyes and leans against my chest, a contempt and relieved sigh escaping her lips. My chin falls on top of her head, with my smile only getting bigger and bigger. I felt like I was floating on air with how happy I was.
"I love you Weiss." Ruby said in a beautiful tone of voice. My smile somehow gets bigger as tears start to stream down my face. We have a lot to talk about in the morning, I know, but for now, it's time to enjoy an amazing ending to a completely shitty day.
It wasn't much longer until I heard the quiet snores of Ruby hit my chest. I closed my eyes as well and pulled her closer to me, "I love you too Ruby." I quietly muttered, sleep taking me soon afterwards.
Weiss's POV, next morning
I woke up four hours later feeling completely refreshed. A massive smile dominated my face as I stared out the window, the pale moonlight streaking through and illuminating Ruby and I in its magnificent glow.
I take out my scroll and open it up, and see that the time was 5:00 in the morning. I was a little surprised, but it did make sense. We were up quite late last night.
Ruby starts to stir in my embrace and lets out a cute yawn to signify that she had awoken. I leaned down and placed a kiss on her forehead, my smile somehow growing larger. Her eyes open up wide in surprise at the gesture and she glances up at me. Our eyes meet and we were left there staring at one another. Ruby's look of surprise goes away, replaced by a beautiful smile. She closes her eyes and lays her head back on my chest, cuddling up to me.
We sat there for about twenty minutes until we finally got up from our cuddling. I stretch for a bit and then get a change of clothes that the hospital was nice enough to give to us. They said that they would wash our clothes for us and if we want them back, all we had to do was go ask the receptionist for them.
"So, what's the plan for today until we can visit Yang and Blake." I ask Ruby, letting out a yawn while stripping of my clothes. A blush appears on my face as I do so. I felt a stare from behind me and all I could was smile, she really does like what she sees. Can't blame her though, I have a killer body and I know it.
It takes a little bit for her to respond, but she eventually does, "Want to go get something to eat? It'll still be a while until we can visit Blake and Yang." She said, going over to her change of clothes as well.
She too starts to strip and my eyes start to wonder. I knew Ruby had a good looking body before, but now since that kiss, it's like I just now started to notice it.
Though she was still the most petite out of all of us, puberty has been very kind to her, especially for her age. Her breasts were the right size for someone like her, something you would expect, not too small but not too large either. Her hips were wide, drawing a good amount of attention to them. Her butt was a nice size and had a great shape to hit, looking like a heart if you looked at it right. Her legs were nice and toned due to the training she put herself through. Overall, she has grown very beautiful, and I know she'll continue to do so for time to come.
I shake the fog from my mind and start to put on my clothes, ready for the day to come. Ruby was done soon after and came up next to me. She smiled and interlocked her fingers with mine. Her hands were soft, feeling like silk as I held them. I smile back and kiss her, which elicits a cute blush from her.
I giggle and lead the way out of the room. I felt like I was on a high with how happy I felt, the sky could fall at this very moment and I would still be smiling.
We practically skipped down the hallway, rounding corner after corner until we made it to the entrance. I look to the reception area and spot the receptionist going over something on her computer. Walking up to her with Ruby in tow, I ask a question, "Excuse me Miss, but do you have some clothes for a Ruby Rose, and Weiss Xiao Long?" I asked her. She looks up from her computer for a brief moment before turning back around and picking up a basket of clothes from under her desk.
"They said you two should be coming around, wasn't expecting it this early though." She said in a somewhat embarrassed tone.
"We don't need to sleep much, so don't worry about it." I told her in a kind tone of voice.
She smiles and then got back to work on her computer. Taking that as the cue that it was time to leave, we turned back around and made our way back to the room. There was an exit on that side of the building, so we didn't have to turn back again.
We exit the hospital and take in the sights of Vale at such an early hour. There was hardly anyone walking around the streets, but that was to be expected at such a late hour. The street lights illuminated the sidewalks below, giving off some light that the shattered moon above just couldn't. All in all, it was actually quite peaceful all things considered. Especially after an attempted high jacking of that amount of dust last night.
Speaking of last night, a few blocks down I was able to see shattered glass liter the streets. Ruby must have passed that place on our way to the docks last night. Ruby, for her part, looked a little sheepish at the damage she caused, though I knew she would do it again if the situation called for it.
I pay her on the back and bring her into a little hug to reassure her worries about her actions. She smiles and leans into it, laying her head against my shoulder.
"So, where are we off to?" I ask her.
"There's a breakfast place that opens up at this hour just a few blocks down. I saw it during one of our times here and I've wanted to visit it since." She said, pointing down the opposite street.
We walk for a few minutes, making twists and turns when needed, and finally arrive at our destination. The place looked to be decently sized, and probably could hold about a hundred people if I had to guess. It was painted a nice oak color, giving it a nice contrast to the predominantly grey buildings around it. Overall, it gave off a homely feeling, like you were just getting back in time for a nice home cooked meal. I can see why Ruby wanted to visit this place.
We walk in and were greeted by a waitress at the front, "Table for two?" She asked us, and we nodded.
"Ok, just follow me." She in a joyful tone of voice and led us to a booth in the corner of the restaurant. We sat down and she gave us our menus. She walked off for a minute and came back with a pitcher of steaming hot coffee and placed it down on our table. The smell of it made me salivate in pure joy, much to Ruby's amusement.
"Do you want anything to drink?" She asked. Ruby wanted a water, but I was perfectly fine with the coffee.
When she walked off to get Ruby her water, I poured me and her a cup of coffee each. After adding what we wanted to it, we started to drink it liberally, all but ignoring the burning sensation of the coffee. By the time Ruby's water came back, I was already on my third cup.
After giving our waitress a mini heart attack with the amount of food we ordered, we sat back for a bit in awkward silence, trying to come up with a way to start a conversation that we knew needed to be held.
Finding absolutely no way to ease into it, I decided to go with the Yang option of handling things, head on.
"Are we dating now?" I asked Ruby as bluntly as I could. She choked on her water with her eyes going wide at the sheer bluntness of the question. Maybe I should have waited for her to finish drinking her water.
After cleaning her mouth with a napkin, she responded, "I mean... if you want to? I would... like to give it a try." She awkwardly got out, her face turning more red by the second. I couldn't help but let out a smile at her poor social skills, it somehow only added to her already amazing charm and cuteness.
"I would like that as well Ruby, but there are some... complications." That was an understatement, there was a lot of complications, and not just the familial ties we have.
There was the fact that I also like Yang and Blake as well, especially after all the shit we've been through at Beacon so far. While being with Ruby like this is amazing, it just doesn't feel... complete? That was the best way I could think of it. I just know that it doesn't feel right without them. While I know Ruby and I would be amazing, I know for a fact that it could be even better with Yang and Blake.
That was the problem, I didn't know what they felt about all of this. Did Blake and Yang like me like that? Like Ruby like that? Like each other? There were so many variables that it wasn't even funny.
I mean, I'm pretty sure they do, but there is always the chance that they don't and I just misread signals from them. That was my main concern.
Polyamorous relationships were accepted on Remnant as a whole, even encouraged sometimes, what with the threat of the Grimm. It was especially encouraged amongst Huntsmen, especially Huntsmen. In fact, more than 95% of all polyamorous relationships were Huntsmen teams.
It was mainly encouraged in the hopes that more powerful offspring would be produced to combat the Grimm threat, and it actually had merit. Ever since the Huntsmen Academies were first established after the Great War, people with more powerful semblances started to be born between these Huntsmen.
While having parents that never had their semblances, or even auras, unlocked, didn't mean that you wouldn't have a powerful semblance yourself, a near centuries worth of statistics shows that it would definitely help.
The fact that we're all girls doesn't really matter either. The majority of people know how dangerous being a Huntsmen can be, so they usually don't say a word when someone comes out liking the same sex. As they see it, if you're willing enough to sacrifice yourself and possibly die at a young age, then you could be with whoever you wanted to.
The main problem would be the familial relationship between each other, but even then, it wasn't that big. Technically speaking, Blake and I aren't even related to anyone in our family so that only helped. Ruby and Yang though are related. It was actually a blessing that were both girls and not one of them a guy. Because it is illegal, even amongst Huntsmen, though it wasn't as heavily enforced, for a brother and sister to pair up with one another, but it was legal for people of the same sex to do so. Was it unfair? Yes. Did it make sense? Kinda, yeah. The chance of the baby coming out with deformities, while surprisingly significantly less with parents who've had their auras unlocked, was not zero and is still decently high.
So, all in all, it wasn't that we weren't allowed to be with one another, it was on whether we wanted to be with one another.
"Just to let you know Weiss, I do like them as well." Ruby suddenly spoke up. My eyes went wide and immediately darted to hers, asking her the unasked question.
Ruby smiled and had a blush on her face as she spoke, "You're really cute when you overthink things." She said in a coy tone of voice that left me blushing. Deciding to give me some leeway, she answered my question, "Remember when you sensed something was wrong with me last night? The same thing just now happened, except I could actually hear you think to yourself." She said, tapping her head with her pointer finger. A massive blush came over my face, and a hand of mine unconsciously came to cover my face. She can hear everything I say to myself?
I heard Ruby giggle, "Yep, even that." She says while looking at me smugly. While it is cool that we can do that now, I would like some kind of privacy in my own mind.
Thinking about how I could possibly keep some sort of privacy, I speak up, "Ruby, can you try to read my thoughts again? I want to try something." She just nods her head and starts to visibly concentrate.
'Bacon, eggs, toast, Yang, Blake, Ruby, boobs, ass, hips, hot.' I actively said to myself in my mind, a small blush crossing my face as I thought about them.
I looked to Ruby and saw that she was staring at me with a confused look on her face, 'Why can't I hear anything? Why does it sound like static now?' I heard Ruby's voice in my head. That was honestly quite shocking to hear, why didn't I hear her before? Was it because I wasn't actively trying to do so? So many questions, yet so few answers.
"It doesn't work because I didn't want you to hear what I said." I told her, and she jumps a little in her seat. It was my turn to laugh and for her to blush. After soaking it up for a bit, I answer her unasked question.
"What I did was imagine a door in my mind, with it being completely open at first. Pretty much saying that my thoughts were completely open to the world. So, I decided to close the door, completely cutting off my thoughts from reaching out. It, surprisingly, seemed to work. I could have sworn this would have been a lot harder than I thought it would be, I didn't expect to solve it on my first try." I explained to her, a tone of awe coming in at the end part, I even surprise myself sometimes with my genius.
"Alright, try me now." Ruby asked in an excited voice. Nodding my head, I concentrated on trying to read her thoughts, but unlike before, I got nothing. All I got was static, just like she said. Ruby herself had a blush on her face that was accompanied by a perverted smile. Something told me that we thought of something similar.
"What were you thinking?" I asked in a silly tone of voice, already knowing her answer.
"I'm not telling you." She said, sticking her tongue out at me at the end. All I could do was roll my eyes and smile at her antics. It was just another thing that I loved about her.
That brung me back to reality and my smile falters somewhat. As fun as that little detour was, it was time to get back to the real reason we were here.
"Just to make sure I heard correctly, you said you also have feelings for Blake and Yang?" She gave me a soft smile and nodded her head yes, a blush gracing her cheeks while doing so.
Relief spread all throughout my body when she done that, it felt like a weight was suddenly lifted off my shoulders. I couldn't help but to sigh in relief and happiness, that was one step closer, now, we just have to confirm if Yang and Blake feel the same way.
As much as I wanted to focus more on that, I was still on a 'date' with Ruby and our food had just arrived, so I decided to set my worries to the wayside for the moment, and just enjoy the time I have with her right now.
Well, here is another chapter, I hope you enjoyed it!
So, I lied once again, it's going to be a three parter! Let's see how that goes.
On that note, I probably wouldn't have done three parts if it was t for the fact that I will be busy for a little bit (have to go to a funeral, crazy thing is, they lived to 107!) and won't have as much time to work on this as I usually would. Though, to me at least, this seemed like a good place to end it, though if you disagree, please, let me know, I would love to hear it!
Also, we got our first kiss! So that's nice. If it wasn't obvious, I have no idea what I'm doing with it, but I think I done ok, though let me know if you think otherwise. If you have any kind of tips for that kind of stuff, it would be MUCH appreciated.
It's going to be an interesting time for Team RWBY, thats for sure, so look forward too it!
Next chapter (should) will have us back with Blake and Yang and all the good stuff that is to come.
But, that is all I got for you. If you did or didn't like the chapter, please let me know, it only helps me.
So, until next time, and have an amazing day!
