Authors Note: Sorry that it took a while for me to update. I would say that there were many... distractions. *cough* Blame Pokemon and Dragon Age Inquisition *cough* But that's not a good excuse. So I apologize for taking so long. ^^;
Also, I would like to state that yes, I am willing to take prompts for this particular story at this time. (I love this concept okay?! I don't want to see it die so young!) So go ahead and send me a prompt via my tumblr - timmytam0907 - (As a note, I will occasionally post reference pictures-which I did for this chapter- as well as updates and etc.) And if you REALLY don't want to go on tumblr, then shoot me a message on here. If you don't want to do either of that, then put it in the review (I'd kind of rather you didn't but hey! If that's what you prefer then sure.) I can't promise that I'll write them ALL, but I'll try to do what I can.
And To that one "Clothing store" Guest Reviewer who said they wanted this. You're in luck! This was actually on my cue of stuff to write for this hahaha!"Here, try this on." Weiss demanded as she thrusts a hanger with a formal white dress with blue trimming hanging off it.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy!
Ruby and the Accursed Clothing Store
Ruby had to resist the urge to groan as she accepted the 23rd dress thrown her way and began walking back into the dressing room to try on the accursed item.
Her girlfriend had randomly decided that the two needed to go clothes shopping that morning, and dragged the speed semblance user to the airship, into town, and into what Ruby believed to be the biggest clothing store in all of Remnant.
They had been there for hours…
… HOURS!
And Ruby just wanted to go back to the dorm and sleep the rest of the day away.
But Weiss was incredibly insistent that she try on every clothing worthy of Weiss's tastes. Clothing that no doubt was very expensive and would never think of wearing.
Precisely why Weiss was forcing the young leader to wear all of these different types of dresses.
… And also because Weiss had made it her personal mission to rid Ruby of the abomination she called a closet that consisted of a copy of the SAME. OUTFIT.
Which is the main reason as to why Weiss dragged Ruby to the clothing store. And if she is given the chance to have Ruby look fantastic at all times, then Weiss will grasp onto it faster than Yang can come up with a pun.
"How does it look?" Ruby asked as she attempted to stand as straight as possible.
Weiss eyed her up and down, "Hmmm… It's… alright I suppose. We'll have to put it back."
"I'll say." A new voice chimed in, causing Weiss to jump a little.
"Wha-?" The heiress turned to the new comer, only to find the team leader of CFVY standing behind her.
"That dress does NOT suit you at all." Coco stated as she looked over the rim of her glasses to judge the outfit on Ruby. She then gave a side glance over to the rack that did pass Weiss's inspection. It was filled with dresses, shirts, and linen pants of white and blues. "In fact, I don't think any of those do."
Weiss made an offended sound, "I think I would know what Ruby looks good in!"
"I didn't say that those didn't look good on her. " Coco said, "I just don't think they suit her personality. You gotta stick with stuff that's her. You get what I'm saying?"
A silent beat.
"No" Weiss stated as she crossed her arms.
Coco sighed as she shook her head and muttered something. "Wait here." She demanded as she strutted back into the store.
Weiss and Ruby turned to each other with questioning glances, but shrugged.
A short moment later, Coco returned with a whole pile of different clothing in various shades of black/gray, reds, and a few whites. She strutted over to Ruby and held out a few hangers, "Try these on. Tuck the shirt and jeans in. Wear your hood."
Ruby stared at the article of clothing and hung her head as she resigned herself to her cursed fate and accepted them.
When she came back out, she had on a semi-loose light gray v-neck, blue jeans, an open black petit coat, and her usual red hoodie wrapped around along with her black boots. Overall, Ruby seemed a bit more comfortable in those clothing.
Weiss had to admit- Coco had style.
"See? This is what I mean when I said you gotta find something that's her." The brunet stated, "You have to find stuff that makes her look comfortable, not all that…" She began gesturing to the clothing Weiss picked out, "Prissy stuff that makes her look rigid."
The heiress nodded, "It does look flattering on her. Especially if we were to simply go out on a regular day."
"I know. Which is why I took the liberty of gathering more clothing like this for her. But," Coco snapped her fingers, "I also know you want to take her out. Go to some high, rich, fancy, shmancy restaurant. So don't worry, I got your back." She grinned as she slapped Weiss's shoulder, successfully earning a screech of protest. The upperclassman grabbed a few more garments and held them out to Ruby. "Tuck the shirt in and lose the hoodie." She stated
As the young leader took the clothing, she wished either the day be over already or for some sort of saving grace.
After she came out of the dressing room, Weiss couldn't help but stare in appreciation.
Her girlfriend had thrown on a fitted maroon blazer, white t-shirt, black jeans, black dress shoes, and a white belt with a silver buckle.
Coco couldn't help but give a smug smile, satisfied with Weiss's reaction. "I also included dresses in case she ever decides to wear one of those instead too."
Weiss gave a nod, "I see… Yes… This will all do nicely."
The upperclassman smiled, "Glad to be of service."
"Now all we need to do is exchange all of these black and dark gray clothing for one that are white and light gray."
Coco did a double take. "Excuse me what?"
Weiss arched a brow. "Yes. I mean, clearly these type of clothing are catered towards Ruby's style, but the colors are not quite as flattering on her as white is." She pressed her chin on her knuckles of her fist as she stared at the white T-shirt Ruby was currently wearing, "Although… I suppose we'll have to see if black would be more suitable for that t-shirt."
"You've got to be kidding me." Coco deadpanned
"Of course, you're right. White is absolutely the color it must remain." Weiss stated.
"No! That's not what I-" the older leader huffed, "You can't be thinking that white is her color."
"While it is not 'her' color, it is the color that is most flattering on her." The heiress stated.
"It may be flattering, but it's not her!" Coco argued. "Besides, black and darker colors obviously look better on her!"
"I think not!" Weiss protested, "White is more flattering!"
"Black!"
"White!"
"Black!"
"White!"
"Well why don't we just ask Ruby here then?" Coco asked
"That's perfectly acceptable to me!" Weiss stated as the two turned toward the girl in question
Ruby gave a nervous laugh under their gazes. While she did like the clothing and the color black, Weiss IS her girlfriend and she didn't want to make her upset. Besides, there's nothing wrong with white. "Uh…. Can't we just… compromise?" Ruby asked.
"NO!" The two yelled
Ruby whimpered as she ducked her head.
The two continued arguing over the opposite colors for a while until finally, Ruby's prayer for a saving grace came.
"Woah… What the heck are you two arguing about?" Yang asked
"YANG!" Ruby cheered at the same the other two turned and pinned the blonde down with their gazes.
"YOU!" The two yelled.
The blonde jumped a little from the shout.
"What do YOU think looks better on Ruby?" Coco asked. "Black?"
"Or White?" Weiss asked
"Uh…" Yang blubbered.
"Well hurry up and choose!" Weiss demanded.
"Uh… I think…" Yang stuttered. "I think… I…" She glanced nervously between the two and over to Ruby, who was starring at her with big, hopeful, shining eyes. Being her sister, she knew what Ruby was saying with her eyes.
"YAAAANNNG! SAVE ME!"
All mighty being above… She could even HEAR her sister… Or maybe that was her conscience. She had to look away to prevent from herself from breaking as guilt already began eating away at what she was about to do.
"I think I hear Blake calling for me actually! Gotta go! Bye!" She quickly said as she quickly backed away and dashed off.
Ruby could only stare after her sister as the blonde left her to her doom.
The traitor…
