Pyrrha: ...

Nora: ...

Weiss: (Slips off the couch)

Ruby: Um... Sorry, Weiss.

Weiss: No, no, it's- it's fine.

Ruby: I, uh... I didn't know the flash was on.

Weiss: No, I- I get it.

Pyrrha: ...

Nora: ...Do you really think Jaune drinks enough juice to warrant getting him a juicer? I could ask for you.

Pyrrha: Would you? That would be feet- I MEAN, NEAT. It would be neat.

Weiss: I... I'm going to go.

Ruby: What? But we still need to pick a movie to watch!

Weiss: I have some late-night holiday shopping to do.

Pyrrha: I should go, too, so I can get that juicer.

Nora: I'll come, too! The juicer might be heavy!

Ruby: I can come, too, in case Weiss' feet get tired. I'll even give her a foot rub. I think I would be especially good at it because I can get my fingers in-between those cute, little toesies of hers.

Pyrrha: That won't be necessary.

Ruby: ...Can you guys promise not to tell anyone about this?

Weiss: Of course we won't.

Pyrrha: I don't think we can do that in good conscience.

Ruby: That... That's fair. (Picks up scroll) I'll delete the picture.

Weiss: You don't have to.

Nora: No, I think deleting it is the best choice here.

Pyrrha: Make sure you go to the trash and delete it there, too, that way it's gone for good.

Ruby: Shut up, you lesbian! I don't want to hear another word out of any of your mouths unless it's Weiss saying she wants to stick her toes into my nostrils! Now everyone get out of here!

----------

Cinder: Well, well, well... Look has come to bless this pyromaniac's bodacious booty-cheeks with her flowery presence~.

Ruby: What do you want, Cinder?

Cinder: I should be asking you that, my queer little rose~. You're the one in my dorm room~.

Ruby: I'm not a queer! I am heterosexual! The animalistic desires I have for other girls means nothing if I don't act on them!

----------

Blake: ...

Ruby: Oh, great... Not Blake... (Approaches)

Blake: ...Ruby.

Ruby: Blake.

Blake: Happy holidays.

Ruby: I need to get inside. Weiss is acting like a useless lesbian again.

Blake: So I noticed.

Ruby: (Has smear on cheek)

Blake: You have something here. (Wipes)

Ruby: (Shoves off) Keep your filthy paws off me, Blake! It's... It's just soot and ash from fighting Cinder, that's all! Heck, I don't even know why I'm even bothering talking to you! You know I don't talk to girls who swing that way!

Blake: ...Are you implying you don't?

Ruby: (Grips Blake's coat) NO. I DON'T. NOT ANYMORE. You made sure of that!

Ruby: (Ladybug memories flush back, Winces) You taught me that there's no such thing as true love between two girls. And if there was, you and I would still be together like last year!

Blake: (Doesn't flinch as Ladybugs crawl)

Ruby: (Turns away) I need to go find Weiss.

Blake: Then you're running away. Again.

Ruby: (Remembers kissing Blake, Grits)

Blake: (Remembers Ruby leaving, Sighs) After everything that happened, I have no idea why you continue to blame me when you were the one who threw me away. Especially when the reason is because you're so dead set on being the main character, you can't stand the idea of people looking past you to see who your arm is linked with, seeing them as your equal. Like you are the only one who deserves the spotlight.

Ruby: And what exactly is wrong with that? Confidence and self-pride are the pinnacle of being the baddest bitch in Beacon~!

Blake: You can be the baddest bitch in Remnant, but if you ain't got no bitches yourself, then are your sacrifices to become top bitch really worth it?

Ruby: ...

Blake: I still love you, Ruby Rose. Even if it is one-sided.

Ruby: (Walks away)

----------

Ruby: (Sitting w/ Weiss under mistletoe)

Weiss: ...I mean, we are already sitting so close to one another... Maybe you and I could...

Ruby: WEISS. Absolutely not. Do you know what this day is? It's the most important holiday of the year. It's the day our lord and creator was born and made us. It's not about... that.

Weiss: It would only be a silly, little kiss.

Ruby: Even that is too much. Girls kissing girls is the gravest of sins, Weiss. The gravest. Would Salem have stuck her tongue into The Blacksmith's mouth if she asked? No shot. Temptation... Temptation is how it starts. Giving in for a second would scar us, and we would carry them for the rest of our lives and after. Then all that's left for us is oblivion.

Weiss: (Slumps sadly)

Ruby: (Blushing) But... It is tradition, though, that a girl should kiss another girl when under the mistletoe. And... maybe even the Brothers can have a sense of humor... every now... and then... (Lunges)

Weiss: (Stunned by sudden kiss)

Ruby: (Breaks away, Lunges)

Weiss: (Melts into Ruby, Strokes)

Ruby: (Ladybug memories fade)

Weiss: (Breaks away, Smiling) Were you as you were afraid you would be~?

Ruby: (Tears spilling over cheeks, Flees)

Weiss: Ruby, wait!

--------------------------------------------------

(Setting - Ruby and Weiss are hanging out with them wearing slippers while Ruby is kicking over Weiss's lap. Ruby's slippers bear the Schnee Family symbol while her partner bears the Rose Family emblem. Ruby is on her scroll, sucking on a lollipop while Weiss is reading a book. Oh, and also, it's not the holidays anymore.)

Weiss: (Smiling)

Ruby: (Pop~!) I always feel so gay when I'm around you, Weiss~.

Weiss: (Blushes) YOU- YOU WHAT?!

Ruby: ...

Weiss: Um... You know, I... I always feel gay when I'm around you, too! P- Perhaps we could keep this gayness going? I can pick you up tomorrow at eight and we can go to the bowling alley and share a soda and maybe some cheese sticks? If you want, of course...

Ruby: Mm, I like the sound of that~. We'll make it a date~! (Gets up) I gotta get back to the dorm. It's Tuesday, so he gets a can of Spam.

----------

Knock, knock, knock, knock~!

Ruby: (Opens door)

Weiss: (Stands outside door, Holding roses, Nervously blushing)

Ruby: Hey, Weiss~! What's up?

Weiss: I'm here to pick you up for our first official date as girlfriends~!

Ruby: ...GIRLFRIENDS?! Since when were we each other's girlfriends?! Girls can't be together; it's weird and gross!

Weiss: But... But you said you feel gay when you're around me! I... I thought-

Ruby: I meant gay as in happy, you idiot! The original definition of the word "gay" in the dictionary is literally to be carefree and joyful! It was a wonderful word before the gays selfishly took it for themselves! Are you aware that the Non-Descript Religious Book says that it's a sin for two girls to be each other's girlfriends, right?

Weiss: Oh, er, yes! Of course! This- This was a prank! I just wanted to trick you! Ha ha ha ha~! Surprise~!

Ruby: (Glaring, Narrow eyes) ...Can you please leave now?

Weiss: Oh, um, of course. (Steps back) Are we... still going out for soda and cheese sticks?

Ruby: (Shuts door)

----------

Ruby: Emerald? What are you doing here? And why do you keep looking over your shoulder?

Emerald: I... I need you to hide me! It's Cinder! She's angry and she keeps trying to hit me!

Ruby: (Brings her inside, Sits)

Emerald: (Sits) I just... don't know what to do, Ruby. It's been like this since before we were together.

Ruby: Well, unfortunately, Emerald, what you go through is just the norm for gay couples like you and Cinder. It's why I don't partake in such urges.

Emerald: Urges? Ruby, are... Are you gay?

Ruby: Nope! I'm homophobic~! Most people have urges, (Gazes at Weiss bikini photo) and I would love nothing more than to ravage Weiss's mind, body, and soul and claim her for myself...

Emerald: That sounds extremely gay, hon.

----------

Cinder: Do you honestly think Pyrrha Nikos's team will love you after what you did to them~?

Ruby: Those polyamorous bisexuals don't need to love me! Just fear me!

Cinder: Well, which are you, then? Loved or feared? You can't be both. The cold, hard truth is that we all fucking hate you.

Ruby: (Tears in eyes)

Cinder: I... I didn't mean it like that. I-

Ruby: (Runs off, Crying)

Cinder: (Finds her, Sits next to her) Hey... I wanted to say... I'm sorry.

Ruby: You weren't exactly lying before. You're totally right.

Cinder: What I said may have been true, at least about the others hating you so much to whisper behind your back, but it might make you feel better to know that I never took any part in the trash talking.

Ruby: Yeah... Right... Why wouldn't you?

Cinder: Because that's not how I do things. If I have a problem with you, then I tell you to your face. There's no need to hide behind others with you, my rival.

Ruby: ...

Cinder: Ruby-

Ruby: (Lunges, Kisses Cinder)

Cinder: (Leans into the kiss)

Ruby: (Pushes off) I... I'm sorry, I... I don't know what happened. I... I think I tripped and fell into you. I'm not gay.

Cinder: Yeah, no, I- I get it, Big Dawg. I- I fell, too. It was an accident.

Ruby: Do you have anything else to say to me? If not, I'd rather be left alone right now.

Cinder: (Looks over, Smiles) Actually, I think there's someone else who wants to talk to you~.

Ruby: ?! (Turns)

Weiss: (Blinks away tears) H-Hello, Ruby! I know you didn't want to go on that date we talked about, but I went to the lien store and picked up a 2 liter of soda and frozen mozzarella sticks. We can't heat them up because we're outside, but I bought these six hours ago, so they are soggy enough that we can eat them the way they are now!

Cinder: I'll just leave you two little girls alone then. (Walks away, Glances)

Weiss: (Glares unblinkingly at Cinder)

Cinder: (Turns away, Leaves)

Ruby: How much of that did you see?

Weiss: Enough to say I wish I hadn't. (Chugs)

Ruby: Do you... maybe want to go on that date tomorrow like you wanted?

Weiss: I... I would like that, actually. (Flush) If... If you're serious about it, that is. We don't have to, and it's okay if you change your mind again.

"The og mommy issues pairing! The mutual desperation, the mimicking of old trauma, the deep desire to be loved x the sheer refusal to give it, seeing her old self in Emerald’s eyes, mwah mwah"

"literally femslash tauradonna like oh my god this is so toxic in a million ways, like Emerald's mommy issues and electra complex from chibi, cinder slapping her and ordering her around  like a slave (!!!!!) what was that 'don't think obey' line (!!!!! WTF !!!!!) but ask around enough and you'll find 'can't wait for emerald to redeem cinder' headcanons but when I, cain, make tauradonna headcanons-"
