okkk since my last ask went so Amazingly well (I have read it at least 7 to 20 times)
could you do reader with like almost constantly cold hands? like not extremely cold hands, but enough that it's noticeable? I'm just imagining reader (you could use the Cinder callsign again or whatever you feel works best) maybe patching up a wound and whoever (x gaz again??? again, whoever you feel like is best) is surprised by the sudden coldness
anyway no pressure to answer this, I can't wait for whatever you write next <33333 (also this is totally me projecting my cold hands if this feels super random)
Sweater Weather (Gaz x GN!Reader)
Tumblr media
gaz masterlist - crow’s mega masterlist
So now, let me hold both your hands in the holes of my sweater.
A/N: YET ANOTHER BANGER PROMPT FROM YOU!!! AND ITS FOR GAZ I LOVE HIM SO MUCH!! I hope you get my song reference hehe. i’m also happy you enjoyed the last fic you requested <3 feel free to send in more requests! This is also lowkey a part 2 to your previous request, but it could be a standalone. Cinder is your callsign.
[WARNINGS: minor descriptions of minor injuries, medical inaccuracies, humor, fluff!]
Tumblr media
By this point in time, you and Gaz were two peas in a pod. You were the latest person to join the task force, the last for now, but surely not the least. Everyone had their own set of gear and clothing, their own ways of getting into the right headspaces for missions, and everyone had their own things that they had with them at all times. Price always had his cigars, Ghost always had his mask, Soap always had his sketchbook, and Gaz always had a baseball cap with him. You? You always had gloves on. Not on your person, but always on your hands. The only times the team likely saw you without them is when you were exiting the bathroom, but then again, you were slipping them back on after you had washed your hands.
It perplexed Gaz. He understood everyone else’s reasons and items—Price is admittedly addicted to cigars, Ghost is just.. Ghost, Soap’s sketchbook helps him calm down and document things, his own hat was a comfort for him in the field.. But your gloves made no sense. To be fair, he didn’t notice right away. Many people wear gloves in the field to protect their hands, even on the hottest days, they’ll wear gloves and sweat in them until their fingertips prune from the moisture. You? You always, always wore them inside. On base. In your room… While eating— The point is, you always wore them. No matter the situation. It has him—and likely the others-wondering why exactly you do this. The few times they’ve seen your hands without gloves, none of them were close enough to see if you were, for some reason, hiding scars, perhaps hand tattoos, just something that would make sense.
Gaz ended up sporting himself a nasty split lip after an enemy managed to bash his head into a door frame, a wound that definitely needed stitches. It was the lower lip, off-center to the right with blood dribbling down his chin. Everyone was split up on the mission— You and Gaz were paired together, while Soap and Price were also paired. Ghost was operating alone for some stealth work. He’s sitting down on an old wooden chair in a house you two have held up in for the night. You open your duffel bag by the south wall, which is front of Gaz. You rummage around for the medical kit you began to bring everywhere after you fell through the floor a few months ago. “I don’t think we have too much further to go.” Gaz commented, glancing at the boarded up window to his left. There was a small sliver between the boards, allowing him to see that the sun is setting.
“Stop talking, you’ll agitate your lip.” You scold softly, grabbing the handle of the medical kit and you pull it out of the stuffed duffel bag. You glance over at him to see him quietly—yet playfully—mocking you under his breath. Sometimes you’re convinced he spends too much time with Soap, but then you always remember in the back of your mind, he’s more-so playful around you than anyone else. You walk over and place it on the table next to Gaz, opening the latches and pushing the top open. You look into the box and blink rapidly when you don’t see any disposable gloves. You then pick up packages of gauze, the small plastic container holding the medical thread, you practically rearrange everything and yet, it seems they were not packed. “Fuck.” You curse under your breath. You let out a sigh as Gaz asks you, “Cinder? What’s wrong?”
You tear the velcro off of the wrist part of your glove and slip it off, repeating the process with your other glove. “Whoever packaged this medical kit didn’t add disposable gloves, and my gloves are dirty as hell.” You mumble, even slightly pouting about it. Gaz raises an eyebrow at your attitude, a smile pulling at the corner of his lips. You grab a bottle of antiseptic and you put your finger up as without looking at him, you already know he’s about to say something snarky. “Open your mouth again and I’ll use this tourniquet on your damn neck.”
Gaz bursts out laughing, causing you to roll your eyes and smile yourself. You pop open and cap and pour the antiseptic onto your hands, the extra liquid splattering against the floor and onto your boots. You set the bottle down and grab a needle and take out some thread. Despite the calm mood between you two, Gaz is still on high alert. You can tell by his posture, the way his eyes flicker towards the boarded up windows, the barricaded door.. On one hand, you wish you could reassure him but you’re also still on high alert, especially after witnessing Gaz get his face bashed. You quietly thread the string through the needles hole, turning to Gaz completely. You grab his jaw to turn his head and this man physically flinches, muttering, “Bloody hell, your hands are cold.”
You laugh as you position his head for the best angle that you need, bringing the needle close to his lips. “Why do you think I’m wearing gloves all the time, Gaz?” Your eyebrows furrow inward slightly as you begin to concentrate, hoping to distract him from the pain of the needle piercing his skin. “Even in the hotter areas our missions were in, my hands would be sweating, yet they were cold.”
Gaz blinks in surprise, completely forgetting about the needle that is about to enter his skin. That’s why you wore gloves all the time? It wasn’t because of a big secret you were hiding? No scars? No tattoos?
You were cold?
Gaz stares at your scrunched face he begins to feel a bit stupid, as he never considered that as a possibility.

Tumblr media
“That’s my good girl.”
With his head rolling back, four let out a tight groan, chest flexing against his ribcage as his knuckles flex and curl around the roots of your hair in his grasp. Something primal and unprecedented for him rolling in his gut like an angry fire, comparable to the ones in the forge, making his back arch and thighs quiver. You just looked so, so pretty down there, tits held together with your hands as you kitten licked right where the first of several barbells pierced his shaft. The soft flesh of your breasts was warm and smooth and when slicked over with your spit, made for the perfect little show just for him. Watching you draw back and forth over his cock over and over again made the head weep with precum, which just served to make your gorgeous tits sheen even further. 
Your nipples had perked so prettily for him and he was almost tempted to pull at them, but you were enjoying yourself. So dickdrunk, you could barely tell up from down as you found yourself so busied by his cock, switching between sucking the head to toying with each piercing as you passed it before raising up only to rub your tits up and down the very trail your lips had. 
Goddess above, you were so pretty like that. On your knees before him, mind totally blank with the only thought of pleasing him. Oh, how he adored you for it. He was so totally infatuated with your golden divinity, so to have you praise him like he was the only God you knew of? 
Made his cock twitch from where you had been mindlessly suckling at the head, tongue swirling over the opening to readily collect any new beads of precum. 
“My precious jewel, you look like the Goddess incarnate even with your pretty little head so empty.” He crooned, hand leaving your hair to cup your cheek. It stalled you for a second, your gorgeous eyes looking up at him through your lashes, as if awaiting his next demand. And, oh, how we just love to pin you to the nearest wall and tease your velvet walls, dragging his piercings along them in the way he knew drove you absolutely crazy. To turn you from mindless and obedient to just simply breaking you in the best way he knew how, watching your pearly tears coat your cheeks as you babble away at him. He would ache for nothing more, but you had been so polite when you originally asked to do this. You had been so calm through his gentle insults and so well behaved when he had denied you what you wanted at first, teasing you like a dog with a bone. 
It would’ve been cruel to deny you this, even if the idea was so deliciously taunting.  
All that to say, the day was young and he had no orders to fill in the forge. So, he had all the time in the world to give you whatever you wanted. Even if it would come at a price. 
“Now, finish what you started and maybe I’ll return the favor, my jewel.”

9 Days of Lancaster: Dealer's Choice/First Date
I struggled to consider what I was doing right now my first date. Especially with the context that recollections of some of Pyrrha’s and I’s ‘outings’ provided.  
Fuck.
Not dwelling on that. 
By any other measure, a stroll through some town market with a guy and a girl who were now a thing was a date, right? Even though it was a patrol and we did basically the same thing yesterday, now it was different. Now we were ‘together.’
Ruby didn’t seem to mind at all, though, she flowed from place to place with her typical energy. It was as though she’d never been through these streets and past these stalls. She could just walk up to some person and talk to them. 
I… I really liked that about her.
Fuck.
She called me over from some RV that seemed to be a permanent feature in the square. Some short-term-long-term food-truck-restaurant? I wasn’t sure, but when she spun and called to me with a wave, I felt my jaw and was struck by the realization that I wasn’t sure just how long I’d been holding my teeth clenched together.
My face ached but she made me smile anyways as I paced over to her.
She smiled right up at me and I had to look away. I really wasn’t sure how I was even supposed to look at her. I almost meant that literally. Could I just, like, look at her now? Whenever I wanted?
I was trying not to be stressed about her of all things right now. Still, though…
“What’s up?”
“They’re moving people in from around the area.” She explained. I cocked my head. Beihfing and I had both been united about a panic. “They started a few weeks ago. I guess after the tower fell, a lot of people moved to bigger places, weird.”
Oh, maybe they hadn’t all died. Huh. “It's not that weird,” I disagreed, I eyed the woman Ruby had been talking to. She was twenty-five--thirty with blonde hair which made her stand out a little here, but her skin tone made her a match for some of the locals in terms of origin. “You had to run?”
“Well we couldn’t order dust or anything and it was pretty scary being mostly alone.” She shrugged, her casual ease with her emotions struck me. I was a total fucking stranger to her. Well, I was also a huntsman, so I didn’t analyze it and just nodded. “It was a good thing too, what with the other villages.”
I figured it was an open secret in GaiLong at this point, but I wasn’t sure. That kind of news would travel fast until everybody knew it at which point, why bother pretending? It was common knowledge.
“What’d you need?” I asked the two. 
It was Ruby who lured me in. “They wanted to pull the motor and alternator out of it and use it as a winch for other stuff. They’ve already pulled out all the bolts, but they don’t - well, if they already had a winch then they wouldn’t do this. 
“So?”
She rolled her eyes, “so nobody but you can lift it.”
The woman looked down at Ruby. “I’m telling you it weighs, like, four hundred pounds, easy.” I walked around and looked down into the hood. It was some dust-based thing with Atlas stamps, all smooth edges. It wasn’t designed to be repurposed. It was designed, perhaps, to not be able to be repurposed. Some technology was like that.
I reached down with one hand and, with a heave and a grunt, I lifted it and set it down. Ruby absolutely could have lifted it.
The woman blinked at me. “Oh uh.” Her eyes flicked to Ruby and back to me. “Could you set it over here? Then? If it’s not too much trouble?”
“Uh, no.” I returned.
She glanced at Ruby again. “No?”
“No, it’s not any trouble.” I clarified or tried to. “I didn’t mean… Not ‘no’…” I sighed. “Where do you want it?”
Ruby was laughing at me. I could see it as I passed her, following the woman to some cinder blocks. Our reward was something which I was assured was not ice-cream but was some kind of frozen custard-yogurt-stuff with sugar in it. 
To me it was good, for the time that I had it, that is. When we returned to the inn I still hadn’t showered after Ren and I trained that morning. Then I made the mistake of entrusting my teat to Ruby who had already nearly finished hers. 
When I got out of the shower there were only a few bites left of mine. “Ruby-“
“I left you some!” She pouted at me. I watched her take the last bite of hers from where she sat on her bed and set it daintily on the nightstand. Then she looked up and her smile never changed but she leaned forward onto her hands and stared at me.
I abruptly felt like covering myself, the towel and shorts I had on still showed off most of what I looked like. “Are you just going to stare at me?”
She blinked like I was alien. “Yeah.” Fair enough. I started putting on clothes anyways as she rolled around the bed. “I mean you stare at me, too, right.” I did. I had more than usual today, too, I didn’t want to hide what I felt from her. She continued, though. “I mean maybe not. Maybe, you like to look at girls like Sahov more?” 
“Who?” I wondered.
She tossed a pillow to my face. “The girl we were just talking to!” 
“Um…” I trailed off.
She slumped down into the covers. “Forget it.” 
“Ruby,” I started. I pulled a shirt over my head and began walking over to the bed. 
“I said forget it!”
I sat down. “Rubes you know you’re incredibly good looking right?”
“What?” She sat up from under the covers. “Yang’s the pretty one, I’m the cute one.”
“Ruby, if I didn’t know you and you came up to me on the street and started talking to me, I would assume I was being pranked somehow.”
“Ugh.” She let me know her disgust, but she wasn’t under the covers anymore and she was giving me this much sort of… sly smile.
I’d never seen that one before and it wasn’t something I usually associated with her. She crawled onto my lap and turned to face me, burying herself in the crook of my neck. I hesitated for a moment but let my arms rest around her slightly. 
“You really don’t think I’m cute.” She blushed. “I mean…”
“Oh yeah I just can’t stand to look at you,” I kissed her. Her bottom lip fit between my two and my ego was fed when I felt her relax in my arms. I chuckled as I pulled away.
She hit me and she was as red as I’d ever seen her. “Butt.” 
When I started laughing, she shut me down by kissing me again.

my partner pointed out that “never love an anchor” by the crane wives is (probably) about giving a child up for adoption and feeling guilty about it while knowing it was the right thing to do . and now i Cannot stop thinking about poppyfrost looking at dovewing and ivypool from across the camp, or bluestar at stonefur and mistyfoot at gatherings, while it plays in the background. oough.
“do you ever think of me / and my two hands / and wonder why they never soothed your fevers? / and wonder why they never tied your shoes? / and wonder why they never held you gently? / and wonder why they never had the chance to lose you?”
You should check out the animatic someone made of Bluestar to the song! It totally fits her. I think someone else is attempting a full MAP of it too, but I can't find it with a cursory search.
youtube
But absolutely, I think about it with BB!Poppyfrost all the time... I feel with canon!Bluestar and BB!Bluestar, it was more than just her own choice. She wasn't incapable of raising a child, the way the song implies, with the singer focusing on her personal shortcomings and the fact she sees HERSELF as an anchor from which the adopted child is being severed.
I think it's too bad that in the fandom like... the desperation of getting the kittens out of the Clan is often overlooked. Knowing Sunstar will not choose a nursing queen as his deputy, the frothing SADISM of Thistleclaw when he talks about how much he wants to shred outsiders to bloody bits, knowing that people she loves (including those kittens) will die in his bloody battles... just like Snowfur did.
Instead, the sadness of giving up her children is what people are interested in. That's understandable, but at the same time, I kinda yearn for more variety in how people look at Bluestar.
But BB!Poppyfrost TOOOTALLY fits "Never Love an Anchor..." the way she did it exactly because she didn't want to be raising kittens alone, though Queen's Rights would have allowed it. How she asked Cinderheart to take them with Lionblaze so she could still access her kittens, even though Cinder was courting Hollyleaf. How that caused Hollyleaf to snap, an even bigger situation to spiral out of control.
And after ALL OF THAT, ALL she put everyone through, the lengths that Lion and Cinder went to... she chickened out and was barely involved anyway.
How she moved on with Berrynose almost immediately after Honeysnake dumped him...
It’s a secret I keep tucked inside my chest With this heart of mine that's guilty not remorseful There is love that doesn't have a place to rest But it would have buried you if it had settled on your shoulders
And the way that, even after seeing all this chaos she caused... she's guilty but not remorseful. She doesn't sit around thinking about it long enough to imagine what she would have done differently. What would be the point of that? When she can't change it anyway?
She is avoidant. Severely so. But you can't avoid it when you live in the same camp, not very well at least. Even if you don't talk to them or have them cut off, you do see them every day. So she spends that time out in the Garden.
I'm fond of her lmao, girls with problems my beloved

So how was Winter's first meeting with Acheius and knowing she has 10 brothers and sisters now
Uhh… Whitely, Jaune, Weiss, Jeanne, Saphire, Luna, Angela, Thiriana, Carol, Saphron, and Janette.
That’s… Eleven. Eleven siblings in total.
This should be fun.
Revelations Unexpected
Specialist Winter Schnee was putting her gear away in her locker when her dear friend came by to talk with her.
: Nice job out there, Winter.
Winter: Thanks. You did a great job out there too, Cinder.
Specialist Cinder Fall, was a girl who came from a rough background, but she struggled, and fought her way through all of that to become one of, Atlas’s top Specialists, and one of, Winter’s dearest friends.
Cinder: Still not good enough though.
Winter: Why is that? You handled taking down that pack of, Beowulfs flawlessly. Did you gut hurt?
Cinder: No. I accidentally melted the ground underneath my feet again; I nearly slipped, and fell flat on my face. Again.
Winter: Ahh, this again. Might I recommend training on your foot work on a ice rink later? I can send my summons after you if it helps.
Cinder: I’d appreciate that, thanks, Winter.
Winter: My pleasure. What do you say we do it…?
(Ping, Ping, Ping~!)
Their conversation was quickly cut short by an unexpected caller.
Cinder: Is that you?
Winter: Yes, it’s my… It’s my mother…?
Cinder: Your mother? What could that drunkard want?
Winter: Probably wants me to help to get her some sort of expensive bottle of vodka for her again. Hold on… Hello, Mother.
Willow: Hello, Winter. You’re… You’re looking well.
Winter: Thank you. You’re looking… Sober? Are you planing on fixing that; Did you call me to get you another expensive vodka, or something else of the sort?
Willow: No, nothing like that. In fact, I think I’m going to stop drinking from now on.
Winter: You are?
Willow: It would be for the best if I did. In the mean time I wanted to talk with you.
Winter: About what?
Willow: I can’t tell you over the scroll, this is a private matter we need to discuss.
Winter: This isn’t some sort of ploy by father to get me back into the, SDC is it?
Willow: Haa… I am such a terrible mother aren’t I…
Winter was about to reapond with curt, and blunt, ‘Yes.’ But, stopped when she noticed that her mother’s gaze was drawn else where as a soft smile spread across her face before her attention returned to, Winter.
Apparently her mother wasn’t alone, but them there was a question to be asked: Who was she with?
Winter: …
Willow: It has nothing to do with the, SDC, or Jacques, Winter, but… I need to… I have to tell you this… So please… Can we talk?
Winter: …
Winter: Very well… We can talk.
Willow: Really?
Winter: Yes, I will talk with you. I’ll be home within the hour.
Willow: Oh, I’m not at home, I’m in a hotel right now. I’ll send you directions, and we can talk when you’re here.
Winter: You’re not at home; Why?
Willow: I’ll explain when you get here. Okay?
Winter: Very well. I will be there swiftly.
Willow: I’ll see you soon. Oh! And, Winter?
Winter: Yes?
Willow: I love you. Bye.
(Click~!)
Winter stood looking dumbfounded at the screen as she heard those three simple words echo in her mind for what seemed like an eternity.
Winter: …?
Cinder: That was… Weird…
Winter: That’s putting it lightly. Mother is sober, she isn’t at home, and she wants to talk to me…
Cinder: And, she said she loves you.
Winter: Yes… That too… Whatever it is she wants to talk about, it must be serious. Quite serious.
Cinder: Do you want me to come with you?
Winter: No, but can you be on standby? I’ll send you a signal if things get hairy.
Cinder: Will do. I’ll try, and see if I can get some of the other, Specialist’s to help me.
Winter: Thanks, Cinder. I appreciate it.
Cinder: Hey, we’re bestfriends, of course I’ll always have your back.
Winter: And, I’ll always have your back if you ever need me.
Cinder: I know. Now, get going. Let me know how it goes.
Winter: Alright, here goes nothing.
~~~
Winter stood before the door to the hotel room her mother was currently staying at. Looking about to make sure she wasn’t being followed. After checking her surroundings she decided now was time to take the plunge.
Winter: Hmm… This place is rather pedestrian for mother’s taste. So why would she be here? Is she hiding? Hmm… Well, best just ask her herself.
(Knock knock)
(Click)
Willow: Hel… Winter! You’re here!
The door opened just a crack before bursting wide open to see her mother with a wide, and happy smile. She was about to rush forward, and hug her daughter, but quickly stopped herself as she noticed, Winter’s cold gaze.
Winter: Hello mother. Care to explain what this is all about?
Willow: O-Of course. Please, come in.
As, Winter came in, she noticed a duo of blonde’s, one male, and one female in the room. Apparently these two must be the ones her mother was talking to when she called her. The woman looked at her with a hint of excitement, and curiosity in her eyes. As for the man, he seemed to be looking for something when he looked upon her, but what was he looking for was the question.
Willow: Oh, these are some dear friends of mine. Allow me to introduce, Juniper Arc, and her husband, Acheius Arc.
Juniper: Oh, I have been waiting to meet you for so long!
Winter: Have you now?
Juniper: Well, for at least a month.
Winter: I see.
Acheius: Hello, Winter.
Winter: Hello, Mr. Arc.
Acheius: …
Winter: …?
Willow’s gaze darted between the three before her. The awkward stiffness that hung in the air between them was palatable. Broken only by the nervous stuttering from her mother.
Willow: W-Why don’t we sit down, and I can explain why I asked you to come here.
Winter: Very well.
Willow sat down on the couch with, Acheius, and Juniper sitting besides her. Winter raised an inquisitive eye at this as she took the a seat in the chair opposite of them. Silence hung in the air for a minute as, Willow’s gaze datred between the three of them, but soon stop as she turned over to see, Juniper gently grasping her hand, and giving her a calming, and reassuring smile.
Juniper: It’s okay, we’re here for you.
Willow returned her smile as she took a deep breath before she turned to address her daughter.
Willow: Okay… Winter… I have to be blunt with you, there’s no other way to say this, but… Jacques Schnee is not your biological father.
Winter: …
Winter: What…?!
Winter: I-I’m not, Jacques’s daughter…?!
Willow: No… No you’re not… Remember how I’ve told you how you were born prematurely?
Winter: Yes, you have. Am I to assume that wasn’t the case?
Willow: No, no you didn’t. You were born right on time. You see, one month before my wedding to that… That thing. Juniper here took me, and some of our friends out for a little hen party.
Winter: A hen party? What is that?
Juniper: A stag party, but for girls.
Winter: I see…
Juniper: So… When the party was over, and everyone was heading home, I will still in the mood for some fun, and so was, Willow. So, I dragged her along with me to the hotel I was staying at, and when we got here… Well I got a little handsy with, Willow. And, shortly after that my husband came to see us, and… Well, we…
Winter: Had sex? I’m a grown woman, Mrs. Arc. I can handle such foul language being spoken to me.
Juniper: I bet you can. But, can you say the same when it involves your own mother, and is about the night of your conception?
Winter held eyes with the, Arc matriarch for a moment before looking away with a faint blush on her face.
Winter: I would prefer not to, but I can if I must.
Juniper: Very well then.
Winter: So, the three of you had a threesome, and you were impregnated during said threesome.That would mean that you would be my father?
Acheius: Indeed I am, Winter. And, if you’re willing to, I would love to get to know you.
Winter: How can you even prove you are my father? This is just speculation, how do you know that I wasn’t really an early birth, hmm?
Acheius: What’s your blood type?
Winter: O-.
Acheius: And, your parents?
Winter: Both of them are, B+.
Acheius: And, both of your siblings, what about them?
Winter: B+… What blood type are you…?
Acheius: O-.
Winter: This isn’t possible…
Acheius: Look, I know this all sounds crazy, and the circumstances are at best happenstance. But… I see it as it is; That you are actually my daughter, and I’m your estrange father. And, if you want proof that we are actually related, then lets go have a DNA test. That way we can see whether, or not this is true.
Juniper: I thought you did believe she is your daughter?
Acheius: I do believe that she is my daughter; everything adds up too nicely to make it seems like its some sort of elaborate lie. And, I am more than willing to put my life on the line if it means I can save either of them, just like I feel for the rest of my family. But, if Winter needs proof that it is, or isn’t true. Well, let’s go see if it is. So, what do you say, Winter; do you want to find out if all of this madness is true, or just a lie?
Winter looked at the three of them, each of them had this pleading look of hope in their eyes. Whether they were hoping that she would agree to this test, or that she wasn’t, Jacques daughter, and was really, Acheius’s daughter she couldn’t tell. But, she still had some questions to ask.
Winter: If… If this is true… why didn’t you tell me, either of them for that matter that I am potentially his daughter?
Willow: When this happened, Juniper had recently had her third child by the time I found out you weren’t, Jacquess. What did you want me to do, burst into their home, and tell them that you were, Acheius’s child? I couldn’t risk that… They’ve been happily married for years now, I didn’t want to break that up. Besides, no one, but myself knew you were not, Jacques daughter. Everyone thought you were just born early. So, I shut my mouth, and told no one, and I was happy with that.
Winter: You were happy that I wasn’t, Jacques daughter?
Willow: At the time I was just happy that you were a healthy baby girl. Whether, Jacques, or Acheius was your father didn’t matter to me. Just that you were mine. However, after what your father did to me, you, your siblings, and to our families legacy… Well, would you feel a little better if it turned out he wasn’t your father?
Winter: …
Winter: I would feel a little better knowing I wasn’t related to him… Haaa… Fine, let’s go to the academy, we can get our DNA test there. Your argument on how this man could be my father makes sound sense. But, it could simply be a highly elaborate lie to trick me. If you are going to convince me that you are my biological father, then you must prove it to be true. Is that acceptable?
Acheius: I’m willing to believe what, Willow said is true. But, I gotta admit, I want to see if we really are father, and daughter, so let’s get going.
Winter: Alright then.
~~~
Cinder: Okay, I have several questions.
Winter: And, those are?
Winter’s focus was mostly at the console sitting before her as she typed in a serious of commands for the computer to execute.
Cinder: Why did we take a blood sample from that guy, and who is he at that? Who’s the woman standing next to him? Why is your mother wearing a hoodie trying to hide her identity? Why did we take a blood sample from her too? And, why are you bringing up your own medical records?
Winter: Several questions indeed… Okay, promise me you won’t tell anyone about this?
Cinder: Okay.
Winter: No, I’m serious, Cinder. You can’t tell anyone anything about what I’m about to tell you.
Cinder: Are you serious?
Winter gave her friend a cold gaze, one carved from ice, and stone. Cinder’s eyes widened in fear for a moment before she placed her hand over her heart, and said:
Cinder: I Cinder Fall swear upon my life that death will take me before I reveal the secrets you have told me.
Winter stared at the serious face her friend displayed before as she made her vow. Her eyes watched her friend intently before, Winter broke into a small fit of laughter.
Winter: Hahaha~! Okay, I appreciate your sincerity, Cindy, but don’t you think that’s a bit much?
Cinder: Maybe. But, hey, I got you to relax a bit now didn’t I?
Winter: That you did.
Cinder: So, what’s going on, Winnie?
Winter: …
Winter: Well, to answer your questions: The man there is, Acheius Arc, the woman next to him is his wife, Juniper Arc. The reason my mom is hiding her identity is because well, she’s in hiding…?
Cinder: She is, why?
Winter: The Arc couple more, or less snatched her away from my families home.
Cinder: Snatched? Wait… Did they kidnap her?!
Winter: No, they just wanted to take my mother away from our family’s home, and to a get her away from father so they could talk.
Cinder: About what?
(Beep, Beep!)
Winter: T-This…
Winter pointed to the screen before her as a shocked look enveloped her face. Cinder noticed the shocked expression on her friends face before she looked at the screen herself. On the screen it showed three separate, DNA samples, one from her mother, one from, Acheius Arc, and the last was one from, Winter herself. Cinder’s eyes scanned the screen lightly reading over over the words presented before her. However, her eyes widened in shock as one single sentence flashed before her.
“DNA Match Co firmed.”
Juniper: Oh gods…
Willow: It’s true… It’s really true!
Acheius: …
Cinder: W-W-Winter…?! What the hell is this…?!!
Winter: Cinder Fall… may I introduce to you my real biological father… Archeius Arc…
Acheius: Hi.
Cinder: Your father?! This man is your biological father?! When the fuck did this happen?!
Acheius: About twenty-three years ago.
Cinder: You shut it! Winter are you okay? This is, this is huge!
Winter: …
Winter: I… I don’t know… My father… Jacques is… is an absolute heartless bastard who doesn’t give a damn about anyone, even his family. He will use, abuse, and exploit anything, and anyone for a quick Lien… and, here’s a man… A man who I have know for not even a day, who has said he would willing sacrifice himself if it meant it would save either me, or my mother. I… I… How do you think I should handle this, Cinder?
Cinder: One step at a time?
Winter: It’s a very big first step though…
Acheius: Winter, can I offer up a suggestion?
Winter: You may.
Acheius: I’m not going to tell you, you have to start calling me dad, or anything. But, I want you, as well as your mother to come back with us where we can get to know one another. Do some father daughter bonding, get to know one another, and see how things go from there. And, if you want, we can become a proper family, or we can forget about all of this, and go back to being complete strangers. What do you say?
Winter: …
Winter: Very well… I will come with you. I’ll need to talk to, General Ironwood to obtain a leave of absence.
Juniper: Wonderful! Ohh~! I can’t wait for you to meet all of your new brother, and sisters!
Winter: Brother, and sisters; How many kids did you have?
Juniper: Eight.
Winter: E-E-Eight?!
Cinder: You’re kidding right?
Juniper: Yep! One boy, and seven girls~!
Winter: …
Cinder: Well… Explains why it only took one night for you to conceive, Winter…
Juniper: Yeah… I would have had way more children if the last one didn’t make me infertile… Haa if only… But… Say, Willow…?
Willow: Yes…?
Juniper: You wouldn’t be interested in giving, Winter another sibling, would you~?
Willow: Well… M-Maybe…
Winter: Mom?!
///
I could have had this done ages ago! But, my brain…?! My brain no worky?!

Tell me about your au plz :3
(IMPORTANT NOTE: I REFER TO CHARACTERS BY THEIR ACTUAL NAMES IF I DON'T HAVE A NAME FOR THEM YET, THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT I'M NAMING ANYONE NYA OR WYLDFYRE OR ANY OF THAT!!!)
OK !!! So the details are very messy cuz I just came up with this idea last night while drawing my guy the Nightmare King from Dreamzzz... Basically it's this super self-indulgent story where I just mix shit from Dreamzzz/Ninjago/LMK/Chima for the fucken sake of it!!!
In this story, the main characters are a Kai ripoff, Nya ripoff, and a Wyldfyre ripoff!!! Wyldfyre ripoff is Kai's youngest sister (Kai 22, Nya 20, Wyldfyre 8-10, probably 10), and she also has a pet dragon who she found years ago (knockoff Heatwave!!!)
For elemental powers, those are like these magical crystals called Elemental Cores, which you are blessed with (idk how yet) by ancient dragon lords (they all go by kings but they're not all men.) Kai has his Core somehow, and same for Nya! Unfortunately, Wyldfyre doesn't yet, either due to being too young or not proven herself yet! She doesn't let it bum her out too much because her epic dragon can grant her sort of temporary Core powers (kinda like Chi from Chima). Unbeknownst to them there's a special reason Wyldfyre and the others can accept powerups like this without detrimental side effects (I won't tell.)
The story goes something like this, a few years ago (probably between 3-5) Kai's parents and uncles (in this story Wu and Garmadon are his uncles) mysteriously go missing, and in present day he hears rumors of an ancient dragon king (Overlord) whose darkness has slowly been festering and increasing greatly. Initially, Kai doesn't care, "Surely if this nonsense were to be true, the great Dragon Knights (he doesn't know it, but they're his dad and uncles) will find out about and stop it!" Idk WHY he decides to go yet, but he takes Nya and the dragon, and leaves Wyldfyre with the others... but she does her own thing and follows. It's too late to turn back now, so reluctantly, Kai has to keep his baby sister out of trouble!
For characters, I'm not too sure how many I'm taking from which series' yet...
I know I have Kai, Nya, Wyldfyre, a Lloyd/Arin combo possibly, Jay, Ray, Maya, Wu, Garmadon, the Overlord, and Misako. I'm ALSO taking Lord Ras for self-indulgence reasons, and renaming naming him Korros (for fun and maybe Wu/Korros exes yaoi!) I also know I wanna get some Monkie Kid inspiration, so I'm thinking of the Lady Bone Demon, but crossed with fanon interpretations of the Preeminent as well! Also, again self-indulgence, Nightmare King from Dreamzzz, and also totally Cinder come the fuck on I need Cinder.
I dunno if I'll add Zane or Cole tho... part of me wants to do a Kalmaar knockoff just for one hyperspecific joke of like, Korros is taking forever to find some hidden mechanism in a wall, and Kalmaar goes "you know, i wouldnt have killed my father if i knew what followed would be so boring."
I have many other thoughts brewing in my brain but WHEW thats the gist of it.
PLEASE ASK ME MORE!!!

how do you think tlc couples react to seeing their SO with kids? just in general do you think they'd be good with children? Jacin after learning to let his gaurd down a bit would probably be good w kids
Cinder doesn't mind kids but she's not very confident in knowing how to speak to them. Kai, having been raised to talk to anyone is comfortable with kids and finds it endearing to see Cinder struggle. She does improve over time, but it isn't until she has her own that she learns that kids just need to be treated like a person and you'll figure out the rest as you go. She worries about her ability to be a mother as she had no good examples in her life, so her heart warms when she sees Kai so adept at interacting with kids. It assures her that he'll be there to help her when they have their own.
Cress and Thorne like kids, and kids like them, but they also don't really know what to do with them. Whenever they babysit for their friends and the baby starts crying, they both stare at each other like 'what did we do wrong??' So if they watch each other totally fumble a conversation with a kid, they'll try to help, usually unsuccessfully. Peony teaches them a lot about what a kid actually needs, because if they do something wrong, she'll tell them loud and clear.
Wolf is cautious of children because they are cautious of his big teeth and clawed nails. He doesn't want to scare them. One day he notices some little heads peeking over the fence as he's feeding the chickens. As soon as he looks their way, they duck out of sight. This happens again the next day, and the next, and eventually Wolf works up the courage to go over and ask the three boys if they want to help him. The children quiver with fear, slowly backing away from the big bad wolf. After five seconds, they run. Dejected, Wolf tells Scarlet of his failed attempt. She reassures him that they just need to get to know him. How can they get to know him if they won't get near him? The following day, Wolf is about to feed the chickens when his hears three sets of footsteps scraping up the driveway. Startled, he leaves the chicken feed bucket by the pen and hides. Inside the chicken coop. The boys survey their surroundings--checking for any stray wolves--and head over, tossing the feed to the chicks. "Did they lay any eggs?" wonders one of the boys, who peers into the coop and finds two bright green eyes cloaked in the darkness. The boys scream. "Wait!" Wolf calls as the first one swings the bucket frantically as a weapon. He rushes to get out, banging his head on the awning, causing him to trip on the chicken ramp and splat face first on the ground. Everyone is silent. Even the chickens seem to follow the memo. But, one after the other, the boys start laughing, the chickens cluck along, and Wolf begins to laugh too. Big scary neighbour wolf-man is not actually scary, the boys find, and Scarlet loves to see him so warm and open. Wolf enjoys seeing her telling the kiddos off for treading on her petunias with no doubt in his mind that she will be as loving as his mother had been to him.
Jacin is wary of children at first. But he has to learn to be nice to children in his job, and after a while, it does really rub off on him. Kids can be loud and annoying but also hilarious. Kids are incredibly blunt, and he is too, so he finds he doesn't mind their company. But he has a distance from his patients. When his friends have kids however...Jacin loves them. Kaider's child is technically his relative and so he takes the Uncle designation very seriously. Also being kaider's child means they are very sassy. Sure, he can insult someone, but it hurts way more coming from a kid, and he finds Peony's roasts hilarious. He teaches them facts about the human body and they have the skeletal and muscular system memorised by age 6. And when they're babies, it's a challenge for Kai and Cinder to get their own child back if Jacin is holding them. It warms Winter's heart so much because it reminds her of a younger, carefree Jacin and proves he's still in there underneath the gruffness. Winter is naturally perfect with children as she is with everything, and seeing her with them stirs Jacin's conscience. He's so in the habit of reprimanding himself for dreaming of a future with Winter that it takes a long time for him to embrace it as feasible. However Winter stills struggles mentally, and as perfect as she is with children when she's well, he knows that she will too fragile for a long time for them to commit to having their own. It takes many, many years before he feels that wariness slough away until it eventually doesn't cross his mind at all.

An eye for an eye makes the world go blind.
🔴Indie Multi-Muse Blog. 🔴Semi-Selective 🔴Featuring Muses from the Cthulhu Mythos, Honkai Series and many more. 🔴Plenty o' memes, edits, musings and shitposts. 🔴Crossover, AU & OC Friendly. 🔴Mun is 25. 🔴Written by Joy Boy.
「Home || Rules || Muses ||
Permanent Starter Call || Promo」
Mobile Links: Rules
Glossary of Terms often used on the Blog:
Each of the phrases will have a link that leads to a page on the wiki.
Vacosian: Vacosians are a near-extinct natural born species of Warriors that made their home in the Ultimate Void, on planet Voidal. A majority of the race was exterminated by the God of Destruction Cerveze, however a handful managed to survive, rendering the race close to extinction. They play a cental role in the Cyverse metaseries, where it is revealed that Ruby and Blair are Vacosians who were sent to Remnant. The best way to describe a Vacosian is to think of them as Outer Gods in humanoid forms. Sometimes they have tails and horns too, but it depends from individual to individual.
Dracontine: Dracontines are a natural born species of highly adaptive warriors that were known among the earliest race to have draconic roots, if not, the earliest known trace that had direct ancestry from Primordial Dragons, before the subspecies division of draconic races had occurred. The Dracontines have been relatively under the radar for a good while after the Draconomachy, in which the total population of the Dracontines took a steep decline. However, at present time, the Dracontine race seem to sit very comfortably, with replenished populations, both in Universe 1 and 12, each residing in their own version of Planet Dracorex on both Universes.
Super Vacosian: Super Vacosian, occasionally known as Ascended Warrior, is a legendary transformation unique to the Vacosian race of both the first and 12th universes. It is the signature transformation of the Vacosians relocated to Remnant, all of whom have been able to achieve the transformation, but was famously first awakened by Ruby Rose during her battle with the evil Fall Maiden, Cinder Fall.
Explanation: It's why some muses have multiple FCs. On that note, they're not shapeshifters, but rather think of it like Super Saiyan, just changing hair & eye colors.
Universal Government/Marines: The Universal Government is an universal regime which has ruled the universe for over 5'000 years, since it was founded by an alliance of 200 different planets. It has since vastly grown in influence and now spans across more than 900 of the universe’s civilized planets.God-Key: God Key (or Grand Key/Divine Key when translated) are ten tools/weapons created by Azathoth, that when brought together, would allow entrance into her domain and  ████,  while  granting each of the 10 wielders  ██████.
Remnant Dragon Balls: The Remnant Dragon Balls are wish orbs created by the Guardian of Remnant, Kami and were later enhanced upon request by said creator after Ruby asked her for an upgrade. These balls are mainly used on Remnant and were the first type of Dragon Balls used in the metaseries. They have played a major role and impact in the series, being used by a variety of characters, including main protagonist Ruby.
Cosmology: As previously mentioned, the Cyverse is a combination of several other verses (Cthulhu Mythos, RWBY, Dragon Ball Metaseries & the SCP Loredom) with my own unique twist to them, which combines them rather well if I dare say so myself. The whole thing started as a RP Blog on tumblr, known as phantxmthief, and has gathered over 23'500 followers as of this writing. Furthermore, people seem to really love the characters in it and love to know more about the Cyverse’s primary protagonist’s life; Which is Ruby Rose and some others peeps, but without further ado, here we go!

Rewarding your HC about Neo's semblance: How does Cinder react if she sees Neo's real sleep paralysis demons?
Pd: I am dallina17 but I am on my other account and I am too lazy to switch lmao so I am asking anon
I feel Cinder would totally try to burn them down to ashes- and they would break, but once she learns that they're the product of Neo's sleep terrors, I feel she would try to wake up Neo to get her out of whatever nightmare she's having
the illusions are harmless, but well, they don't stop being creepy, they're materialized nightmares after all

Im gonna miss my evil little mew mew
Ruby once again demostrating shes an absolute beast of warrior so glad she started therapy the next step is memeing "surprise bitch" at Cinder
Also
Did not expect to love Summer so much even if saw her for like a min
Totally was the Yang shoulder shove
So long, Curious, you will remain alive and as much of a pest as always in my WR AU that I just now made up today. And this is why Remnant has no therapists, it would have made Ruby too strong too soon.
It truly is a testament to Summer Rose that even when we finally get some form of answer about what happened to her, we're still left with more questions we didn't even know we had to ask. But now that we have a design and a sliver of her personality, I am now capable of going full obsession mode. All Silver Eyed Warriors are belong to me.
I hope that shoulder check hurt, Raven, I hope you cried.

Any Emercury hcs? Also emerald city siblings maybe??
I'd like to start by saying that I don't like Mercury Black. His character is fine, but I think the writers are going to let him off too easy because he's good looking and fans like him. But that's my beef to chew on, not yours.
Now as for Emercury itself...
Since they met, Mercury tried to be Emerald's friend. She wasn't interested at first, but he kinda grew on her.
Emerald never knew her father, and lost her mother at a young age. Whenever the conversation moves towards asking about her parents, Mercury will jump in and tell everyone how he killed his dad. It makes them so uncomfortable, they leave Emerald alone.
Mercury is careful with his lien, as he was taught at a young age that "just because it's shiny doesn't mean it's good." Emerald is also stingy with her money, though it's more because she's a thief, and "the more you steal, the more you reveal."
Emerald and Mercury have their own shipping chart to laugh at. Favorites include "Roman and Cinder have ex-lover energy," "Neo would full-nelson slam blondie into the bed," "The love triangle of TBS, Invincible Girl, and Ice Bitch makes me want to pull my hair out," and "Cinder and Watts are totally hate fucking while Tyrian watches".
They were each other's firsts. First kiss, first time, and first real friends.

Hi!!This is Creating Trouble from the Rg server!If it's okay,can i ask for Ruby for the character ask game?
Tumblr media
do I like them: Totally! Ruby is a very fun character who's able to switch from loveable dork to deadly badass on a flip. Her arc of aiming to become a hero like her mother and slowly discovering that being a hero doesn't mean you have to be perfect is fantastic. And I like how no matter how things get dark, she keeps persevering.
5 good qualities: Her optimism, being a dork, how much of a badass she is, how determined she is and how she inspires other's.
3 bad qualities: Placing too much of a burden on herself, trying to live up to other expectations, holding her mom on a pedestal.
favourite episode: Tea Amidst Terrible Trouble
otp: Close tie between Rosegarden and Nuts and Dolts
brotp: Ruby and Yang/ Ruby and Weiss
ot3:Ruby x Oscar x Penny
notp: Fallen Petals (Ruby x Cinder)
best quote: "We've seen what you're capable of. The lamp showed us. It showed us everything. We've seen that you can't be killed. But we've also seen you fail. We don't have to kill you to stop you. And we will stop you."
headcanon: She would introduce her romantic partner to Summer's grave and excitedly introduce Summer to them.

Freakshow (3)
/==- Chapters -==/
Cinder let her eyebrow rise as noticed the entrance of the unremarkable hoodie clad blond boy. She turned her amber eyes from Roman and regarded the newest addition to the group scattered about the loading dock. She had come to conduct a follow-up inspection of a sort, before moving towards the next step of her plan. But now she was annoyed. There was someone new. Someone who she didn't know, and who seemed to be involved.
Roman: Don't worry about blondie. It's a project Junior is working on. It's only here to top up the guys, and it knows nothing.
Cinder: Top up? Tell me, Roman, how does one 'top-up' another?
Roman: It's Junior's business. Leave it at that.
Cinder: (Smirking) No, I do not think I will. You see, since you and Junior are in my employ... your business is my business, in particular when IT could negatively impact my aims.
Roman: (chewing on the end of his unlit cigar.) It's nothing. It has a semblance useful for healing. That's why Junior keeps it around. The kid's like a living aura battery.
Cinder reached up and tapped her right index finger on her chin. She was a little interested in why Roman called the boy and it all the time.
Cinder: So I then can assume that he is capable of pushing his aura into others? Because that is hardly remarkable. Anyone with a modicum of training can force aura into another if needed.
Roman: Look, I can only tell you what I know, and as knowing how Blondie's semblance really works, is not one of those things. (his teeth clenched around the moist nub of his burnt out cigar) We're here to discuss the next stage. Those animals have moved everything off site.
Cinder: And the delivery method?
Cinder's eyes returned to watch the blond boy move about the room. There was a deep golden glow, surrounding his hands, he touched one goon after another. While she wasn't impressed with the nature of his semblance, the ease at which he was able to utilize it was impressive.
Roman: It's almost completely repaired. Maybe two weeks.
Roman's eyes narrowed, as he watched Cinder totally ignore his report, in favour of watching Blondie.
Roman: For someone not impressed. You seem obviously interested.
Cinder: I am. (returning her gaze to Roman with a smirk) It's too easy for him, so what is the true story, Roman?
Roman: There is none. It unlocked it when it mistakenly got caught in a cross fire.
Roman pulled out the remains of his cigar and tossing it aside, he pulled out a fresh one, and lit it. The acrid smoke floated about his head as he puffed.
Cinder: Roman?
Roman: I don't really know its story. Junior took it in. All I know is that, it can push aura into anyone, without any real effort.
Cinder allowed her amber orbs to narrow, as if trying to call Roman on a bluff.
Roman: I asked it once. Says it feels like it's just letting it flow. Makes it sound like it's pouring water.
Cinder: I know there is an AND in there.
Roman: Seems that it's little top-ups boost the guys. Faster, stronger, heals them up. Minor shit gone in seconds. (Roman puffed on his cigar) Like I said, it's a living aura battery.
Cinder: Sounds like he is more than just a living battery. I think I want to meet HIM.
Roman: No.
Cinder: What. Did. You. Just. Say?
Roman: I said No. Blondie is Junior's asset.
Cinder: I could just...
Roman: You could, but that would cause a fight. (Roman gave Cinder a sly grin.) One that you might win, but you would also definitely lose.
Cinder: Lose to you? Don't make me vomit.
Roman: Yeah, a fight now would draw attention, and that would draw noses, which will dig up secrets, not to mention Junior has the place wired. (Roman chuckled as Cinder's eyes widened.) Not in that way, but it is a dead man's switch. He fails to enter a code and all the spicy underbelly of Vale will become so much more public... specifically the dealings of one femme fatale and a gentleman thief. With images that are very clear and show your face.
Cinder: You are playing...
Roman: There is no game, Cinder. This is business, and seeing as you press-ganged us into your employment...something had to be arranged to protect our interests. (Roman puffed on his cigar) Now back to the original purpose of this get together.

Lancaster Stuff from Motion Sickness
pq pq pq pq pq pq pq pq pq pq pq pq pq pq pq pq pq pq
I struggled to consider what I was doing right now my first date. Especially with the context that recollections of some of Pyrrha’s and I’s ‘outings’ provided.  
Fuck.
Not dwelling on that. 
By any other measure, a stroll through some town market with a guy and a girl who were now a thing was a date, right? Even though it was a patrol and we did basically the same thing yesterday, now it was different. Now we were ‘together.’
Ruby didn’t seem to mind at all, though, she flowed from place to place with her typical energy. It was as though she’d never been through these streets and past these stalls. She could just walk up to some person and talk to them. 
I… I really liked that about her.
Fuck.
She called me over from some RV that seemed to be a permanent feature in the square. Some short-term-long-term food-truck-restaurant? I wasn’t sure, but when she spun and called to me with a wave, I felt my jaw and was struck by the realization that I wasn’t sure just how long I’d been holding my teeth clenched together.
My face ached but she made me smile anyways as I paced over to her.
She smiled right up at me and I had to look away. I really wasn’t sure how I was even supposed to look at her. I almost meant that literally. Could I just, like, look at her now? Whenever I wanted?
I was trying not to be stressed about her of all things right now. Still, though…
“What’s up?”
“They’re moving people in from around the area.” She explained. I cocked my head. Beihfing and I had both been united about a panic. “They started a few weeks ago. I guess after the tower fell, a lot of people moved to bigger places, weird.”
Oh, maybe they hadn’t all died. Huh. “It's not that weird,” I disagreed, I eyed the woman Ruby had been talking to. She was twenty-five--thirty with blonde hair which made her stand out a little here, but her skin tone made her a match for some of the locals in terms of origin. “You had to run?”
“Well we couldn’t order dust or anything and it was pretty scary being mostly alone.” She shrugged, her casual ease with her emotions struck me. I was a total fucking stranger to her. Well, I was also a huntsman, so I didn’t analyze it and just nodded. “It was a good thing too, what with the other villages.”
I figured it was an open secret in GaiLong at this point, but I wasn’t sure. That kind of news would travel fast until everybody knew it at which point, why bother pretending? It was common knowledge.
“What’d you need.” I asked the two. 
It was Ruby who lured me in. “They wanted to pull the motor and alternator out of it and use it as a winch for other stuff. They’ve already pulled out all the bolts, but they don’t - well, if they already had a winch then they wouldn’t do this. 
“So?”
She rolled her eyes, “so nobody but you can lift it.”
The woman looked down at Ruby. “I’m telling you it weighs, like, four hundred pounds, easy.” I walked around and looked down into the hood. It was some dust-based thing with Atlas stamps, all smooth edges. It wasn’t designed to be repurposed. It was designed, perhaps, to not be able to be repurposed. Some technology was like that.
I reached down with one hand and, with a heave and a grunt, I lifted it and set it down. Ruby absolutely could have lifted it.
The woman blinked at me. “Oh uh.” Her eyes flicked to Ruby and back to me. “Could you set it over here? Then? If it’s not too much trouble?”
“Uh, no.” I returned.
She glanced at Ruby again. “No?”
“No, it’s not any trouble.” I clarified or tried to. “I didn’t mean… Not ‘no’…” I sighed. “Where do you want it?”
Ruby was laughing at me. I could see it as I passed her, following the woman to some cinder blocks. Our reward was something which I was assured was not ice-cream but was some kind of frozen custard-yogurt-stuff with sugar in it. 
To me it was good, for the time that I had it, that is. When we returned to the inn I still hadn’t showered after Ren and I trained that morning. Then I made the mistake of entrusting my teat to Ruby who had already nearly finished hers. 
When I got out of the shower there were only a few bites left of mine. “Ruby-“
“I left you some!” She pouted at me. I watched her take the last bite of hers from where she sat on her bed and set it daintily on the nightstand. Then she looked up and her smile never changed but she leaned forward onto her hands and stared at me.
I abruptly felt like covering myself, the towel and shorts I had on still showed off most of what I looked like. “Are you just going to stare at me?”
She blinked like I was alien. “Yeah.” Fair enough. I started putting on clothes anyways as she rolled around the bed. “I mean you stare at me, too, right.” I did. I had more than usual today, too, I didn’t want to hide what I felt from her. She continued, though. “I mean maybe not. Maybe, you like to look at girls like Sahov more?” 
“Who?” I wondered.
She tossed a pillow to my face. “The girl we were just talking to!” 
“Um…” I trailed off.
She slumped down into the covers. “Forget it.” 
“Ruby,” I started. I pulled a shirt over my head and began walking over to the bed. 
“I said forget it!”
I sat down. “Rubes you know you’re incredibly good looking right?”
“What?” She sat up from under the covers. “Yang’s the pretty one, I’m the cute one.”
“Ruby if I didn’t know you and you came up to me on the street and started talking to me, I would assume I was being pranked somehow.”
“Ugh.” She let me know her disgust, but she wasn’t under the covers anymore and she was giving me this much sort of… sly smile.
I’d never seen that one before and it wasn’t something I usually associated with her. She crawled onto my lap and turned to face me, burying herself in the crook of my neck. I hesitated for a moment but let my arms rest around her slightly. 
“You really don’t think I’m cute.” She blushed. “I mean…”
“Oh yeah I just can’t stand to look at you,” I kissed her. Her bottom lip fit between my two and my ego was fed when I felt her relax in my arms. I chuckled as I pulled away.
She hit me and she was as red as I’d ever seen her. “Butt.” 
When I started laughing, she shut me down by kissing me again.
