The Good and The Bad

Rating: K

Summary: Ruby recalls one night how her and her teammates met their soulmates.

Notes: So, originally wasn't going to do a Soulmate story since the past few I thought up I didn't really like, but then this scene of them all sleeping together in their dormitory at Beacon popped into my head so I just rolled with it. And this is the result. I came up with a different idea for soulmates a long time ago, but I added the eye color part so there would be physical way to tell instead of just mental feel.

It was late at night, close to one in the morning, that found Ruby Rose awake. She was in her dormitory at Beacon, laying in her bunk bed, and silently watching her team mates and their husbands sleeping. She sighed softly after a while, snuggling into the arms of her own husband, which were wrapped around her small frame in a loose but strong embrace.

Over the past three years of being at the school, team RWBY had found and bonded with their soulmates. Everyone in Remnant had one. How one found them was by Sighting. Whenever you and your soulmate lock eyes with each other, your irises will develop a circle shape ring of your soulmate's eye color around your pupils. The ring will remain there and will only change once you have Bonded. Then the ring of color will become a star shape and have a slight glow to it.

Though all people of Remnant had a soulmate, not all were interested in the idea of finding them. Ruby's father had been one of them. Taiyang knew Summer Rose was his, but he chose to remain with Raven mostly out of denial. That path led only to heartbreak and in the end, he and Summer became bonded soulmates. Ever since then, Taiyang wanted his girls to find theirs, no matter who they were.

Which was how he had been so ok with who his daughters were Bonded to...

Though it had only been three years, it seemed like a much longer journey to get to where they all were now. That was due to the identity of their mates. Each one of their mates had previously been either on the opposite side of the law or had been working under Salem.

Looking around the dark room, Ruby's eyes landed on her sister's bed first. Yang was sprawled across her mate's broad chest since he took up most of the bed. It was a wonder how the makeshift bunk beds held both her and the large man, but they did. Without trouble. Hei Xiong, or Junior as he preferred to be called, had actually been the easiest one to out of all their mates to convert. It helped that he really hadn't been a bad guy himself, more in between the sides. But after hearing the stories about Salem, the relics, and everything else, he joined Yang's side without any hesitation. He, the twins, and all his henchmen were there to aid in anyway they could.

Ruby smiled softly as her eyes turned from Yang and Junior's bed to the one down below. In this bed found Blake curled into her soulmate with his right arm wrapped around her waist and his left arm snaking up her back. The hand of that arm was in between her cat ears, indicating he had been stroking them before falling asleep. Ruby was sure she could even hear Blake purring. Sitting off to the end of the bed charging were a pair of robotic legs. Mercury Black had been a little harder to join their side then Junior had. He felt he was right where he was suppose to be with Cinder's faction. He also thought he was too much like his father, and didn't want Blake hurt in the process of his downfall. But after seeing Blake's ex Adam Taurus trying to kill her and realizing Cinder didn't really care about him or Emerald, he change his mind and the two left her side.

This made Ruby beyond happy due to not only Blake finding a much truer love then she did with Adam, but also her Uncle Qrow finding his soulmate within Emerald. The two broken souls were able to heal each other and become stronger than ever.

A slight whimper brought the young reaper from her thoughts. Gently unwrapping herself from her lover's arms, Ruby moved towards the edge of her bunk bed to peek at the one below. Here, she found Weiss alone in her bed, twisting around and moving her hands in search of something while still sleeping. Before Ruby could react, she heard the door to the bathroom open and the light flick off. Footsteps shuffled quickly and quietly towards Weiss' bed as the owner jumped into it. Weiss felt the movement and turned towards it, sighing softly when she finally felt what she had be unconsciously looking for. Her soulmate wrapped his arms and even his tail around her. He then pulled her into his strong embrace, cuddling her and whispering soothingly. Weiss settled down into better dreams soon after.

Ruby sighed in relief, which caused Weiss' husband to look up at her. Silver and shimmering emerald eyes were met with golden and shimmering blue ones. It was a gaze that once held insanity, that Ruby had once feared, but now found comfort in it. Especially with the added glowing blue. A small peaceful smile formed on his face before he snuggled closer to Weiss and closed his eyes. Ruby smiled as she watched the two slumber peacefully.

Tyrian Callows, once a deranged maniac and even loyal member of Salem's inner circle, was now a loving but fierce guardian to his soulmate. Leave it to Weiss to have the hardest soulmate to join their side. At the very beginning, the two wanted absolutely nothing to do with each other. Weiss was weirded and creeped out by the scorpion Faunus, and Tyrian wanted to keep his loyalty to his queen, rather than be mates with a Schnee. But as time went on, and Weiss had to watched her entire team with their soulmates and seeing how happy they were, she began yearning for hers. It wasn't long after that she changed her mind about Tyrian. But the same couldn't be said for him. After several failed attempts of Weiss trying to even talk to him, she had begun to lose hope that he would ever want to bond with her. Until the fateful day at Haven Academy, when Cinder stabbed Weiss with a glass sword. Tyrian had been there, gleefully fighting along side Cinder, Hazel, and the White Fang, but once his eyes landed on that scene, his demeanor changed completely.

Cinder's cocky smirk was soon replaced with a shocked expression after Tyrian stabbed her seconds later with his own blades. With Cinder down for the count, Tyrian ran over to Weiss and began their Bond process, which healed her immediately. After that, he and Weiss had been inseparable. The whole incident still caused Weiss to have nightmares but they were easily chased away whenever she was pulled into Tyrian's embrace.

"You awake, Red?"

The voice coming from behind Ruby broke her from her memories and startled her. She turned to face her own soulmate. Roman Torchwick was looking at her with sleepy emerald and glowing silver eyes. She smiled at him and leaned back into his arms.

"Yeah," she whispered, "just thinking."

"About what?"

"How far we've all come."

Roman smiled as he pulled Ruby closer. He had been the second mate to join their side after Junior. While he wasn't on their side yet, he and Ruby had Bonded. It was after one of their fights, and she had ran after him when he escaped. Which led to more fighting, then kissing, and finally Bonding. While Roman did want to leave behind Cinder's creepy faction and join his mate, he was afraid what would happen to him and his little sister Neo if he did. So he remained where he was until he purposely got caught after the train incident. There he agreed to give Ironwood info about behind the attacks in exchange for his freedom and safety for him and Neo. Ironwood was more than happy to let Roman go after that, especially when the older man finally found his soulmate; Neo.

"It's going to be so weird once we finally get places of our own," Ruby said after a while.

"Yeah, quiet and less crowded too."

They both giggled at that, before slowly falling back to sleep, whispering promises of love just as they began to drift off.

"I love you, Ro."

"Love you too, Red."
