I know, probably not what most of you were hoping for when seeing I updated, but I just found a prompt on Tumblr I simply couldn't ignore. Cross your fingers for maybe-maybe-an LiS update in a few days.
In the meantime, hope you enjoy this. :)
It was no news that Ruby didn't have much experience with dating or any kind of relationships beyond the level of friends. Being the youngest freshman ever to be accepted to the prestigious Beacon Academy of Law, she was widely known around campus, but perhaps for all the wrong reasons. Some people fawned over her, marveling over how one so young had gained entrance into one of the best schools in the country without even finishing high school; others scorned her, believing she had to have cheated the system to be allowed such early access.
That's why, for the longest time, Ruby did her best to blend into the background. She thought it might be easiest to just get through these years if she kept her head down. She knew college was also about meeting people and quite possibly forging a strong relationship for the future, but quite honestly, she was just here to learn.
That is until she met Weiss Schnee.
She had first seen the girl in one of her classes second semester, and Ruby had been instantly floored by her beauty. She was always present to every class, posture erect, and attention focused throughout the two hour long class. Whereas most students eventually flickered out come the second hour, Weiss always remained astute, answering even the most difficult of questions with confidence.
It was because of her that Ruby forced herself to pay better attention in all her classes, and it was also because of her that Ruby made her first friend.
And, come her junior year, her girlfriend.
Currently, Ruby was reclining on her bed in her and Weiss's shared dorm room, her scroll up before her face. Weiss was in the midst of studying, but not for much longer if Ruby had anything to say about it.
It was also no news that the new game, Pokémon Go, had become quite popular around the globe, even spanning as far as to an academy of such high esteem. Ruby had grown quite obsessed with the game since its release, yet despite her best efforts, she couldn't convince Weiss to play.
"That game is for children, Ruby," she had said countless times, ignoring all her fellow classmates just as engrossed in the game as her girlfriend. "I will not be seen wasting my time with that joke."
Okay, so Weiss was a bit of a stick in the mud when it came to certain things, but Ruby never held anything against her, knowing it was simply how she was raised, and that it was hard to break away from ideas implanted in one's mind since birth.
Especially when that person came from such a famous family as the Schnees.
Still, that didn't mean Ruby couldn't use the game to her own advantage to get on her girlfriend's good side. After managing to finally get Weiss to pick out her favorite pokémon, Ruby immediately named it after her, using it in every battle and training it until it became her strongest monster. It was currently holding the gym at the school's entryway's arch, and had been for the past two weeks. Weiss would never admit it, but Ruby always saw the smile flicker across Weiss's face whenever she mentioned she still held the gym.
It had also become a great incentive for Ruby to study, so Weiss had to cut the game some slack for that. Luckily, the campus library not only had its own gym, but also two pokéstops. Weiss wasn't quite sure what that meant, but it worked in getting Ruby to go to the library more often, as long as Weiss let her pull out her scroll during their study breaks and collect goodies from the stops.
Back to the present, however, Ruby had come up with what she believed to be an ingenious plan. While Weiss was her first relationship, she was also Weiss's first. Because of this, it was super easy to get Weiss flustered, so getting her light up in a brilliant pink and stammer unintelligibly had quickly become one of Ruby's favorite pastimes—right up there with Pokémon Go. Seeing Weiss so absorbed in her work, Ruby knew this was the perfect time to strike.
With a sudden loud squeal of surprise, Ruby leapt up from her bed, loud enough to cause Weiss to startle and spin around.
"Ruby!" she chided like usual. "You nearly gave me a heart attack!"
"Sorry! But there's a rare pokémon nearby! Don't move; you'll scare it away!"
Weiss went to massage her temples, her classic sigh escaping her as she did so.
"For the last time, Ruby, it's just a game," she grumbled.
"Maybe to you," Ruby replied with a wink. "Still, hold still while I catch it real quick."
"Whatever…"
Weiss spun back around to focus back on her books, unknowingly falling right into Ruby's hands. The younger girl smirked.
Quietly, she carefully made her way over to Weiss, pausing for dramatic effect once she was right behind her.
Then, with a surge of energy and affection, Ruby grabbed her from behind in a crushing hug.
"Ruby!" Weiss all but screamed, nearly jumping a foot off the chair. "Wh-What are you doing?!"
"I caught it!" Ruby exclaimed, squeezing Weiss even harder. "I caught the rarest pokémon!"
Spinning Weiss's chair around, Ruby was faced with the surprised face of her girlfriend. Grinning, and with hooded eyes, Ruby leaned down so she was just centimeters from Weiss's lips.
"And it's just my luck that it also happens to be the cutest pokémon as well…"
A searing kiss to parted lips, and Ruby was finally rewarded her prize. Weiss was left with alluring rosy cheeks, her mouth opening and closing not unlike a Magikarp's as her hand came up to touch her bruising lips.
Maybe that game wasn't such a bad thing after all.
