#emerald x ruby

Emerald hesitated for a moment as she tried to process everything that brought her to this point, watching as Ruby stripped in front of her, face heating up as a blush spread across her cheeks. It all had started as a simple job, bumping into Ruby to steal her wallet and scroll for a quick buck. Instead, she found herself being brought back to the huntress’ apartment after being mistaken for her girlfriend and she couldnt find it in her to say no. 

“I know I dont have much, but I hope I can make the night worth your while,” Ruby said as she pulled off her top, stretching a bit as she smiled at Emerald. “Though, you dont have to go through with this.” 

“I… I need to do this,” Emerald said as she looked away, trying to hide her blush. “Its either this or jail, right? You caught me, and if your team found out what I was really doing-” 

“And you dont need to make it sound like this is some punishment that was chosen for you. You needed money, right? I pay you for spending the night with me and we call it even.” 

“I’m not a prostitute!” 

“I’m not calling you one.” 

“Paying me for sex might as well be calling me one.” 

Ruby sighed and made her way to the bed. “Okay, then, what do you want?” 

“I-I…” Emerald went quiet for a moment, not entirely sure what exactly it was that she wanted. To be away from here, sure, but being anywhere else didnt seem as appealing either. She took a breath to calm herself, trying to keep her blush down. “I want a night where I dont have to worry about anything. A night where I can be me and… be with someone without expecting any sort of favor out of it.” 

“Then we can have that night together.” 

Emerald felt herself get pushed down to the bed, her blush growing as her cheeks heated up, staring into the silver eyes above her as she felt a hand slip down her thigh. Her lips pressed against Ruby’s, feeling her pants being pulled down and feeling gentle fingers run across her. A small moan escaped her lips as she felt a tinge of pleasure run through her spine. “R-Ruby-” 

“Just relax.” Ruby smiled and kissed Emerald’s neck. “Relax and let yourself enjoy the moment.” 

Emerald nodded as she felt Ruby kiss down her body, stopping at her hips. She moaned once more as she felt Ruby start to press into her and grind against her, giving into her touch and relaxing with her.

Emerald slowly got up and stretched a bit, pausing at the smell of coffee and eggs cooking. She looked around the bedroom and slowly got up, still naked from the night before. The light from the sun passed through the windows, her clothes strewn about with Ruby’s. 

Ruby peeked into the bedroom, smiling at her. “Breakfast will be ready soon.” 

Emerald blushed as she saw Ruby still mostly naked, looking away from her. “O-oh, thanks.” 

“Dont take too long to come out.” 

Emerald nodded and took a deep breath as everything from the night before came back to her. Feeling Ruby’s cock inside of her, the gentleness of her fingers running across her, the tenderness and relaxation she found with the huntress. She slowly picked up her clothes and started to get dressed, taking a moment to bask in the feelings that ran through her. Ruby was meant to be a mark, and yet, hearing someone call her Ruby’s girlfriend, spending a tender night with the huntress, feeling like belonging…. 

Emerald finally got dressed and stepped out of the bedroom. “What’s for breakfast?” 

“Coffee, eggs with ham, and some toast.” Ruby finished plating the eggs, adding a little cheese over. She turned to face Emerald, chest still bare and marked with a few bruises from the night before. “Unless you’re planning to leave before eating.” 

“N-no, I plan to eat, but I…” Emerald sighed and looked away. “Can we… do this again? Maybe not tonight but sometime again-” She paused as she felt Ruby kiss her, interrupting her words. 

Well, it’s my blog and my poor judgement, so this is happening anyway

I’ve been rereading the RWBY manga anthologies after my friend returned them to me (she stole them for like three months but was so happy about it I couldn’t be mad), and there’s a Chapter that sticks with me: “Partner.”

[Quick summary: at an awards ceremony for the events of Volume 2, Ruby is cornered by Mercury. They dance together and he’s handsy and gross about it, then Weiss swoops in your rescue her.]

Why did Mercury, who has no charm and avoids interacting with the main cast in canon, ask Ruby to dance?

However, a RWBY rewatch gave me an idea:

Ruby was crushing on Emerald during team CMEN’s time at Beacon, and spent a fair amount of time around them as a result. Mercury was heteronormative and/or prideful and assumed Ruby was trying to flirt with him.

Merc never caught on that Ruby is an awkward Bisexual who was paying a lot more attention to the cute girl in a halter top than she needed to.

Mercury just thought Ruby was flirting with him and was shy, but she was really a pining gay trying to get close to a pretty girl.

Emerald: *compliment*

Ruby takes care of a drunk Emerald.
