"You're jealous aren't you Ruby", Yang spoke softly. She desperately wanted to find out what had been bothering her younger sister these last few weeks. Without upsetting her too much of course. This hadn't been the first time they'd had this conversation.
"Yeah, Ruby grunted, but I just have a bad feeling about him, he isn't good enough for her." Ruby sighed crossing her arms dejectedly, looking out from their dorm into the courtyard of Beacons school grounds.
"Ruby, no one in your eyes will be good enough for her". Yang put a comforting hand on Ruby's shoulder. "Though I honestly think you should at least try and warm up to him. You're going to need to get over it. Dwelling on it this much isn't going to help."
Yang's words went straight over Ruby's head, as she was solely focused out in the courtyard and what was unfolding in front of her eyes. She dashed past Yang saying a quick jumble of words that sounded like "going, courtyard, bye".
Yang looked at the spot in the room that Ruby used to be with a bewildered expression on her face. Turning around and peering out of the window, Yang saw what had made Ruby dash off so quickly.
"Oh no. This won't end well".
Ruby dashed down the stairs as she was much quicker than any elevator could ever be. "What is it with people, he's ruining something other people only dream about. I know I should have been nicer, but he never treated her with the respect she deserves."
Brought out of her musings, Ruby realised she had made it to the courtyard and started to make her way over to the same guy that had been getting on her nerves so much recently.
"I can't believe you could do that to her! I thought you were at least a reasonable person, my feelings aside, and one that I could eventually learn to trust and see as a friend. I was obviously wrong!"
"Yes, you were wrong Ruby. Shame isn't it". He scoffed, peering at Ruby with an offhanded expression, clearly conveying his annoyance at being interrupted. His previous companion leaving.
Before Ruby could get another word in, he gained a cocky expression on his face "But you won't tell anyone of what you saw, will you!"
"No, nothing you say will stop me, and if your minuscule brain didn't pick up on it, we're in the middle of the courtyard. Ruby emphasised this by sweeping her hand in a wide arc. People are going to want to know why there are two students arguing soon enough".
And just as Ruby voiced that thought, a whole bunch of people walked over to where the two were arguing, predicting a fight.
"Well shut it then. Keep quiet and no one gets hurt. It's quite simple".
Ruby noticed Yang running over, probably going to tell her to stop this argument and leave.
"She doesn't understand".
"Hey, Ruby are you alright?" Yang spoke, out of breath after running down the same flight of stairs. In her haste, completely forgetting about the elevator. "I wish I had Ruby's speed sometimes".
"I'm fine Yang, let me do this, I have to. For both Weiss and I".
Yang looked on unconvinced, though she didn't voice these thoughts or do anything more to interfere.
Believing in her sister, Yang realised Ruby had grown up a lot through her time at Beacon and her position as the leader in team RWBY. "She always does want to help everyone, although this is on a much more personal level".
As Ruby turned back around again, it was to see Weiss' boyfriend looking absolutely furious.
"You're pathetic, you just don't want your perfect "ladies' man" reputation to be tarnished, do you. You just wanted Weiss for her money and good looks, not for who she is".
"Yeah, like everyone else she'll ever meet. It's called the real world".
"Only because of people like you! There are others out there that think differently!"
Taking a few deep breaths, Ruby tried to compose herself. Though while doing this she didn't notice Weiss' boyfriend taking out a knife from his pocket. What Ruby didn't realise was that the knife was coated in a new type if dust able to pierce straight through someone's aura. The perks of being the boyfriend to the heiress of the largest dust company in all of Remnant.
"I despise you, I was jealous of you. Of what you had. You think you're so good, that you can walk over everyone and get away with anything! I can't believe you'd cheat on Weiss like that, she deserves better".
As soon as Yang found where her scroll was located, internally berating herself for losing it so often, she pulled it out to contact Weiss and told her to get to the courtyard immediately. "Weiss could probably diffuse this argument the easiest. Ruby and her boyfriend will listen to her".
"Hey, could u come to the courtyard as soon as possible".
"What is Yang on about. I guess it sounds important, she nearly spelt all her words correctly in a message. I better head over there now". Weiss put her recently finished and revised homework safely out of copying eyes and headed out of the dorm. She couldn't be too sure her homework was safe sharing the same dorm as Ruby and Yang.
Weiss arrived in the courtyard a few minutes later and caught up with Yang to ask her what was going on.
"Uhh, Ruby got into a fight with your boyfriend about him cheating on you, and now they're in a pretty intense argument."
Wait, cheating on me? Weiss thought, keeping a neutral expression on her face, determined to stop this argument and find out if it was true. I'll have to find out if it's true later. I have a more important thing to deal with.
Walking around Yang, determined to get the two to stop arguing and speak calmly, Weiss stopped dead in her tracks as she saw her boyfriend lunge towards Ruby.
