Richard hums as he holds onto something warm and in his sleeping bag. He runs his hands sleepily across the thing and feels it move against him. "So nice," he hums in happiness before feeling something touch his cheek. Richard groans and slowly opens his eyes before seeing his redheaded Ruby girl smiling up at him with half-lidded sultry eyes. "Morning," Richard greets, leaning his head into her shoulder.

Ruby hugs him tightly, lightly grinding her hips against his side. "Hey, handsome. I was so tempted to get you out of those clothes and fuck you in your sleep," she giggles into his ear.

"You wouldn't do that as you would want me awake for it," Richard informs, enjoying being with Ruby at the moment, and Ruby can feel his happiness and love through her demonic senses.

Ruby leans up and kisses his cheek. "Handsome. Yeah. It would be more fun. But for us, we need to get moving. Unless you want to have a romp right now," she proposes smirking and licking her lips.

"Aren't you worried you will end up like Blake and Yang?" Richard asks.

Ruby goes quiet now and starts to imagine little white, black, and red hair children running around her now calling her 'Mommy.' She then suddenly makes buzzing noises in surprise with a stutter. "I-I-I-I…"

Richard chuckles and hugs her tighter, placing her head against his chest. "My sweet little Ruby. That was too adorable. I do not want to let you go now," Richard teases before starting to get a mischievous smirk.

Ruby notices the smirk and nervously tries to smile. "Richard…" she starts warningly. "What is with that, smirk?" she demands.

"Oh, Ruby," Richard whispers seductively into her ear.

Ruby eeps in a high pitched tone and spazzes out in his grasp. "That is so unfair!" she complains, hitting his chest and makes him grunt in pain. "Sorry," she quickly apologizes as she remembers how strong she and the other girls are compared to him.

"That's fine. You are a big strong waifu to me," Richard whispers into her ear.

Ruby blushes bright red and stares at him wide-eyed. "Where the fuck did you get this kind of confidence?! Is it from Yang? Did she put you up to this?" she demands, angrily pointing the finger at him.

"Oh god, this isn't a dream, is it?" Richard asks as his face starts reminding Ruby of a tomato.

Ruby and Richard stare at each other while both are blushing bright red until they look away from each other. "No fucking wonder," Ruby mutters, and Richard winces at her whispering tone. "I guess you are lusty with girls in your dreams?"

"No…I…just…" Richard tries to say as his confidence is taking a nosedive now.

"Oh honey," Ruby says, petting his head after seeing what she has done.

Richard tries to take a deep breath before feeling the girl hug him from behind, pressing her chest against his back and wrapping her legs around his. "Well…"

Ruby shushes him and squeezes tighter. "You know we don't mind if you act a little lusty towards us. We might appreciate it. Heck, it would be fun," she whispers into his ear. "And you can enjoy yourself if you try and touch us, talk to us that way, or even just a grope. We might like it too," she tries to encourage and kiss his neck as a reward.

"I just have a hard time flirting with you all," Richard admits.

Ruby slowly smiles. "So, what was that a few minutes ago? I liked it. I just didn't expect that from your shy demeanor."

"Well, you're Ruby. You're kind, beautiful, a natural leader, intelligent, playful, funn…I will stop now," Richard says as he turns even redder to Ruby shock.

'I have to find a way to break this. Make him let loose and have fun. This is too much,' Ruby promises to herself before curling against his back, letting him feel more of her. "Richard? You don't have to stop. If you do, how will you know how we feel about you. It feels like you are running away mid-sentence and hardly coming back to end it," she offers encouragingly. "At least try moving towards this for us. We would love it more. Especially what I just experienced from your attempt at such good flirting."

Richard stares at her for a few moments before whispering into her ear again, "Oh Ruby, you beautiful woman."

Ruby sputters and spazzes out again. This time she was expecting it, but not with that deep sluty tone. How the heck does he even manage that without trying? "Th-Th-Th-That was…good," she stutters.

"Oh, did you come as well?" Reese asks, smirking at the two.

They both cry out and jump away from each other, somehow getting out of the sleeping bag at the same time as well. Richard keeps blushing a deep shade of red and looks away from everyone as Reese giggles at them.

'Fuck all that progress, and I am back to square one or maybe even further back!' Ruby whines in her head.

Reese smirks as she looks between the two. "So?" she starts, and the two can feel it's an embarrassing question. "How was last night? We did wear earplugs," she asks teasingly.

"Nothing happened. Richard made me promise to wait till we are not working," Ruby informs, frowning at Reese, who blows her a kiss in response.

Richard quickly gets up and starts to leave to get some privacy while getting ready to head out. All the while, he is as silent as possible. "Man. What a handsome guy that would be good looking as a dominator," Reese says, grinning.

Ruby growls as she holds up her gun. "Reese," she starts. "You better start running your ass back to the kingdom, or it's going to end up with another hole to hang you from," she growls as a dark aura somehow appears around her in pure anger. 'Why can't Richard have this confidence? Still, I guess I wouldn't change that about him…that is the one I fell in love with after all,' she thinks while Reese turns and slaps her ass towards the angry girl before walking away smug.

"By the way, the one we found is awake. Weiss is watching after her. She is freaking out about having wings now, apparently," Reese informs.

Ruby's anger subsides, and she puts away her weapon. 'Makes sense now. Guess she was a regular girl.'

"I'm sorry, what was your name again?" Ruby hears Richard's voice before returning a few minutes later and takes a seat, thinking and looking a bit in shock.

"Uhh…Richard?" Ruby asks carefully.

"I just met a female Sasuke Uchiha. Before you ask, it's another show I watched called Naruto. But Sasuke was male in that and…you know the term emo teen's meaning when describing someone?" Richard asks.

Ruby nods before leaning past him and sees Weiss and Reese comforting the girl. "So, the main problem is you can't wrap your head around it, right?"

"Oh, no. I believe it after meeting Ren, but Sasuke was captured. When Sasuke is powerful enough to scorch earth a quarter of this continent, I mean, remember when I told you what happened at that cliffhanger. If you put Sasuke into that, I give Salem a few minutes before her army is annihilated."

"Oh…" Ruby slowly says, catching what he is saying.

"So I am in disbelief that someone that strong got caught by something I managed to kill in comparison…also, her eyes have powers unique to her clan. Ask her to explain about them when you can," Richard informs.

'…someone that powerful…I want her,' Ruby thinks.

Richard groans and holds his head. "Fuck me. This got way more complicated. It's not just you girls from your world or an alternate one. It's also other stuff and universes. Fuck!" he curses as he realized where this could all end up if everything comes in.

"Hey. Relax," Ruby says, petting his head.

"No. It's worse!" Richard yells and stands up, looking at her. "Some things from other worlds can come in that would instantly destroy the entire world and take out everyone. Let's hope to high hell and heaven fuck that doesn't happen!" he yells, and his eyes start to glow.

"Richard," Ruby says sternly, making him look at her. "Calm down."

Richard's eyes slowly dim down back to normal as he sighs. "Sorry. I hate that," he mutters and reaches out before grabbing her hands. "Thanks."

"You're a hand full, but you are my loveable dork of a handful," Ruby says, making Richard snark at that.

"Whoa, and you thought Yang's jokes were corny," Richard teases.

"Don't make me hit you," Ruby jokes, playfully holding up a fist.

"If there is going to be any hitting, it's going to be me nailing that ass of yours," Richard whispers into her ear as he starts to turn red with every word.

'Oh, he is trying so hard for me,' Ruby thinks, smiling.

Ruby leans up and kisses his cheek as a reward before walking away, smiling. Richard smiles as well but still holds a blush as he watches her shake her ass side to side. 'Wow. Sexy as always,' he thinks as he keeps watching before noticing something. 'Did her skirt shrink, or has her ass grown?' he asks himself before following her.

"Sorry about that. He is having a hard time coming to terms with this. I will explain later why that is, but for now, I hope Reese hasn't…sexually assaulted you or made you uncomfortable," Ruby says to Sasuke.

Sasuke slowly looks over to Reese, who giggles and gives a friendly wave. "Hello," Reese greets playfully.

"…half and half," Sasuke simply states.

"Reese!" Ruby complains, glaring at the girl.

Reese grins. "What? She is cute," she points out, eyeing Sasuke's body now.

Weiss sighs. "On behalf of all of us…you may hurt her as we do not condone her actions and won't stop you in doing so," Weiss announces.

Sasuke lets loose a small smile. "Great to hear," she replies. "So what happens now?" she asks, wondering if they might force her someplace.

"Want to come with us? We are kinda in the same boat as you," Ruby informs, making Sasuke raise an eyebrow at that.

Sasuke now stands up, being on shaky feet. "What do you mean, the same boat? You just appeared here in these lands too?"

"Yes…this is going to be awkward to expl…wait. I know how to explain it. You know stories in magazines and stuff in your world?" Richard asks, walking up to the group.

Sasuke looks over and notices that he is now looking over her body, eyeing some parts more than others. "Yes. Why?"

"Well, where I am from, there is a version of that called Naruto. Basically, a male version of you and Naruto are the main characters mostly," Richard explains, and Sasuke's expression instantly becomes a dumbfounded one.

Weiss looks at Richard in pity and slowly leads him to the side. "We get the picture now. We can handle the explanation," she offers, giving him a smile. She then eyes the other girls and nods her head at Sasuke. The other girls nod back as they sit by Sasuke. "You are so bad at this explanation crap," Weiss concludes as they walk out of earshot.

Richard groans. "Maybe I should stay on the back end of stuff. You girls have a handle on everything," he sighs as he looks back at the kingdom in the distance.

"I think Ruby can handle it," Weiss says, walking beside him and patting his shoulder.

Richard nods before looking over Weiss and how she dresses. The knee skirt and long arm sleeves, it doesn't fit a more tactical and maneuverable fight in this world. "You know…maybe we can get you some new clothes? Maybe something from the adventurer people?" he suggests, looking very embarrassed as he turns his head away to not see her reaction. "Might help," he chokes up at the end.

"You don't like the way I dress? Or maybe you would rather see this one on your bedroom floor?" Weiss inquires, making Ruby's head jerk around in shock.

Richard actually squeaks out of a shocking reply and tries to understand what just happened. "See that? That's a guy's masculinity threatened," Reese calls as she heard that little exchange and tries so hard not to laugh.


"How are you, Yang?" Richard asks, taking a seat beside her.

Yang raises an eyebrow as she looks over his flushed expression. "What the heck happened to you?" she asks, tiredly nibbling on a piece of bread.

"I just got a crash course in how to flirt from Ruby and Weiss. Don't ask because I won't talk about it," Richard informs.

Yang stares at him, mid-bite before snickering. "Crash course? Ruby and Weiss? One innocent and the other a princess? An ice princess?" she asks through her snickering.

"You want me to prove it?" Richard asks, sighing.

Yang leans on an arm on the table, watching him. "Bring it on, handsome."

"Not to you…hey, Coco," Richard calls.

Coco picks her head up from nearby in the common room, holding a weapon maintenance tool bag. "Yes?"

"By any chance, are you from St. Louis?" Richard asks.

Coco reaches up and pulls her glasses down her nose. "Obviously, no, if you know us that well."

"Well…I can still teach you how to Arch your back," Richard says. Coco keeps staring at him, and he sighs. "Dammit. Need to learn about my world," he realizes.

"Oh, no. I got that. I am just in shock," Coco informs as Yang starts cracking up.

Yang laughs and leans back in her seat from the crazy flirt. "That is the most obvious flirt I have ever heard!"

"Hang in there, Richard. You're getting better," Ruby calls, half teasing half supporting tone from across the room on her bed.

"…ok, fine. You asked for this one," Richard says before clearing his throat. "Oh, Ruby," Richard says in a seductive voice.

Ruby makes a buzzing noise and spazzes on her bed as Yang looks at her in shock. "No! Stop!" Ruby pleads, not wanting this to happen in front of her sister.

"So, Yang, you want me to make you feel better?" Richard asks, ignoring Ruby.

Yang keeps laughing as it descends into giggles for her. "Yeah. I would like that," she laughs out. "What other flirt do you have for me?"

"This one is going to hurt me. I got a joke for you. Why can't a nose be twelve inches long?" Richard asks.

Yang tries to hold her giggles back. "Why?" she snickers behind her hands now.

"Because then it would be a foot," Richard says before facepalming hard.

Ruby groans, and Coco groans at the bad joke while Yang just bursts out laughing. "Richard!" she yells with laughter. "You are going to kill the baby and me with laughter!" she laughs, falling back into her seat and almost tipping it.

"Yeah, that really hurt me inside," Richard says.

"…would it make it worse to say you got me wet with that flirt you did with me?" Coco asks.

Richard groans and lets his head fall onto the table in front of him. "No. Dammit. Fuck me. Why?" he groans mostly to himself.

"What did I walk into?" Ren asks, having heard what Coco said, seeing Yang laughing like a hyena, and Ruby holding her face as she is scarlet.

Richard sighs into the table. "A flirtatious mess," he calls out, not liking he was forced to do this.

"Ok…let me hear what you got," Ren instructs.

"You too?!" Richard complains, raising his head in shock.

"Come on. I am a bit of an expert at this, so show me what I am working with," Ren informs.

Richard sighs and massages his head. "Okay. Well, are you here looking for love or adventure? Because I can give both," he tries before slamming his head back down onto the table. "That was terrible," he mumbles to himself.

"I give it a six-point-eight out of ten," Ren says with an eyebrow raised.

"That's a bit generous," Richard comments.

"I have heard worse. You won't believe the pervs," Ren explains, shrugging. "At least it sounds like you are improving."

"…could you judge this one? Coco says it got her wet. By any chance, are you from a. Louis?" Richard asks. Ren raises an eyebrow before humming. "Well…I can still teach you how to Arch your back," Richard says, making her eyes widen before he facepalmed.

"Damn. A sex joke," Ren notices and taps her chin. "Seven."

"I best take Yang back now. You can handle these two, right?" Richard asks, nodding his head to both embarrassed and silent girls.

"Like I said. I handled worse," Ren explains as she walks over to the now tired Ruby. "So he knows just what to say to you, or is it because he is the one saying it?" Ren asks after Richard takes Yang out of the room.

Ruby groans and covers her head with her hands. "Him," she moans, getting more comfortable lying on the bed.

"Ah…then it's because you love him…and you…you just need someone to fuck basically," Ren says to Coco, who looks at her shocked. "I know toots. I use a role as a courtesan for spying a lot. So yeah. I know my way around a bed," Ren informs, giving a somewhat proud body language.

Ruby suddenly leans up next to her, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. "How about giving this girl here some tips to use on someone like Richard?" she whispers into Ren's ear.

"He is the kind of guy who is a bit innocent and shy. My advice, get a ring and ask him to make it official," Ren informs.

Ruby blinks slowly at the small girl. "That's it?"

"Sleeping with him won't do any….no. I take it back. Doing that and tying the knot can cause them to start getting clingy or start doubting themselves, leading to depression. Which can lead to breaking up. Trust me. I have seen it happen a few times," Ren informs.

Ruby looks at Ren carefully before looking to the side and trying to imagine what her plan was. For one, she only thought of controlling him. But now that she is subservient to him and is a holder, it would make sense to advance his place in the world. But if marrying him leads to trouble…what the heck would kids do. All the while, Ren notices the look on her face and turns her gaze to the doorway where Yang and Richard went.

"Ok, toots. Answer truthfully. Do ya love him?" Ren asks, and Ruby is only starting to notice her putting on a new accent.

"Yeah. Of course, I do," Ruby declares. "How could I not?"

"Then that makes it simple, doesn't it? Love should always be the first and only question in these situations," Ren informs.

Ruby nods as she tries to imagine how to treat Richard now and make him as calm as possible. She would possibly have to take him on dates to get him used to life like this. "Right. Anything else?" she asks, now wondering what else Ren has.

"Yeah, find a way to cool this bitch down or find someone to handle her in this state," Ren informs.


"You want more?" Richard asks, sitting Yang in her bed.

Yang keeps giggling, remembering all the lines, and committing them to memory. "Yeah. Come on. Give me some flirts to put me to sleep."

"No to flirting, but if you insist, I will tell more of those bad jokes," Richard sighs in defeat, making Blake look over from her bed.

"Please, no. I don't want the kids to grow up with bad jokes," Blake requests, wondering what Yang means by asking for flirts.

Richard says nothing and just points to Yang in response to Blake. "If no flirts, then I will take the jokes," Yang answers.

"Heck no," Blake complains, pointing at her. "No. Just no," she scolds like a bad dog.

"Fine. To make it up to you, Blake, I will start with this one. I don't really like to handle raw fish," Richard says before pausing. "I'm afraid I'll get salmonella."

Blake sighs and lowers her head with her cat ears spraying outward. "Dang it, Richard. You just had to do it."

Yang sputters before laughing and landing back on the bed in her fit. "Perfect for her. I am going to use that!" she laughs, holding her chest.

"Well…that's a deep subject," Richard jokes.

Yang keeps giggling and laughing while Blake groans out loud. "Stop it. That's enough. Too many bad jokes," she calls out.

"Ok, Yang, you get two more. Yang, what do you get from a pampered cow?" Richard asks.

Yang tries to hold back her laughter and descends into snickers behind her hands. "No. What?"

"Spoiled milk," Richard informs, twitching a bit.

Yang bursts out into laughter again as Richard notices Blake lying down on the bed and covering her head with a pillow. "Perfect. Another one to use."

"One last question. Does February March?" Richard asks.

"I don't know," Yang squeaks behind her hands, trying to hold her laughter to hear the punch line now.

"No, but April May," Richard informs.

Yang bellows into laughter, unable to control herself as she pounds the bed while Blake groans. Richard takes a slow deep breath, trying to control himself as he walks over to Blake's bed. "Perfect. Another for my books!" she laughs while rolling around. She hardly even notices Richard getting into Blake's bed and wrapping an arm around her above her large stomach.

"This is still better than her making me try to come up with flirts," Richard mutters, leaning into her.

Blake moans, covering both their heads with the set of pillows now to drown out the laughter from Yang. "At least you are trying. Thanks for even bothering Richard."

"…you know there is nowhere else I would rather be right now. Because you're cool as the winter night and warm like a summer day," Richard says, trying to flirt with her.

Blake slowly smiles and slides back against his chest. "Yeah. That's a good flirt for me, Richard. Maybe you can eventually get some sexy ones in."

"I got one, but won't work till after the child is born, I think," Richard informs, petting her behind the ears.

Blake hums happily, leaning her head back. "Try it. I might like it."

"Coco said this got her wet. By any chance, are you from St. Louis?" Richard asks.

Blake smirks. "So you can arch my back?" she asks back, giving a little giggle.

"How did you know that?" Richard asks, confused now.

Blake smiles and turns over to face him. "Richard, my mate, I have ears. Good ears. And I got bored back in your world while at your home and looked up the world. It took a long time, especially when you worked out with Yang. I just made the connection."

"So…?" Richard asks, looking for a rating by her.

Blake giggles. "Eight here. And maybe we can try once the baby is out. I am very flexible," she whispers, so Yang doesn't hear. But the snoring from her tells that she laughed herself to sleep.

"Flexible, huh? Well, maybe I can see how flexible you are then. After all, we got nine lives to be together," Richard says, sticking his tongue out at her cheekily.

Blake rolls her eyes amused. "One, you do that back home for me, you will be slapped hard. Two, not bad considering everything. I never thought being with a human just like you would be so fun," she offers before kissing his cheek.

"Do you want me to be technical, or would that ruin the moment?" Richard asks.

Blake reaches up and lightly bonks him on the head. "Enjoy this moment, Richard. You are finally learning how to flirt and tease us instead of having us do it."

"I got something to show you in the morning then," Richard says, smirking like a predator.
