((She sings when Regina finds her *I think she hums “Someday My Prince Will Come”, actually*, and it’s so dang cute :3))

Toby and Ruby had shared the pie evenly, and Toby was just about full. He sat there; just playing with the food with his fork…. His mind A B S E N T of all thoughts. He hadn’t necessarily been alone with a woman before; so the situation was a bit awkward for him.

He felt her lips upon the corner of his mouth; a ¼ of her lips touching his. He was surprised by the gesture, but didn’t flinch or move away. In fact, some C H I L L S had run throughout his body by the touch. He looked up at her; both a sheepish and confused expression crossing his face.

“What did I do to deserve that?” he asked in a hushed tone.

          Of course he was asking a question that the she-wolf didn’t have a proper answer to; her moment of brazenness was quickly replaced by an inexplicable shyness, a blush settling into the apples of her cheeks as she propped her elbows on the tabletop. It was moments like this that she more closely resembled Red than Ruby -- and it seemed whatever skill she'd had with men had dissipate with the curse.

Toby had heard her question him, and he raised his eyebrows a bit. He chuckled a little at her next question; feeling his cheeks flush R E D.

“Well,” he began, taking a sigh, “I was thinking about a simple massage to your shoulders or back…. Unless, you had something ELSE in mind.”
