Ladybug Sunday

After things had ended with Adam, Blake's fears weren't of him anymore.

Instead, she was scared for her friends, her teammates, who had been relying on her to complete her task of disabling security.

A task that she'd failed.

If they were delayed or prevented from getting to Atlas now, it'd be all her fault.

Yang helps her to her feet, and with one last emotional glance between them, they begin to run.

Blake can hear a great commotion at the cliffs even from deep within the forest. When they finally find the others, all seems to be stilled in brewing chaos. Cordovin's robot is disabled and useless, and the Grimm are swarming overhead. And one much larger heading towards them from the sea.

And it's her fault.

Ruby crushing on blake and blake being 100% oblivious to ruby's feelings as well as her own

For Ladybug Sunday!

When Yang had introduced Ruby to her best friend, Ruby hadn’t been expecting such a pretty girl like Blake. And Blake hadn’t been expecting such a cute girl like Ruby.

They’d come to a cafe together for brunch, but Yang knew immediately that they were both crushing on each other. She could hardly stop grinning as she deliberately excused herself to the restroom solely to give them a few minutes alone together.

When Ruby found herself alone with Blake, she tried to conjure up some Yang-like confidence and attempted to talk to her. But she didn’t exactly think over what she wanted to say first. She just said things.

“S-So, um... you’re really pretty.”

She’d never wanted to smack herself in the face so hard.

Blake’s ears shot up and her cheeks went pink in seconds.

“Um... I-”

“P-Pretty... good- at reading!” Ruby blurted. “Ahaha yeah, Yang told me you like to read books like all the time. You must be pretty good at reading then right? Yeah, ahaha!”

“Y-Yeah...” Blake gulped, equally as nervous. “I guess I am pretty good at... reading. You’re also very cute- I-I mean! I mean you’ve got very acute... hearing...? Even if you’re not a Faunus...” Blake grabbed her teacup and choked down a sip just to shut herself up.

Ruby laughed again and twiddled her fingers. “Y-Yeah, I um... I hear pretty well I guess! I-I think... But not as good as you I guess, right? I-I mean! I’m sorry, w-was that rude? I-”

“N-No it wasn’t rude,” Blake said quickly. “It’s fine. I mean-”

“Oh my god this is pathetic.”

Both girls shrieked and whipped around to find Yang slapping a hand to her face and shaking her head.

“Unbelievable. I have to do everything myself...” She muttered as much, then shrugged. “Welp, I’m heading out. You two have fun here on your first little date. You’re welcome.” She turned around, waved, and then walked out the door.

Ruby and Blake stared after her, then looked back to each other. 

“D-Date?” 

“I-Is it?”

“I mean... do you want it to be?”

“Do you?”

Silence. Then-

“S-Sure....”

“Okay...”

And even ten years later when they were engaged, Yang would still tease them about their first date.

Ladybug prompt: "hi my name is nervous, and I get Ruby around pretty girls... wait"

For Ladybug Sunday!

‘Just talk to her!’ 

It had been easy enough for Yang to say that and shove her little sister down the bookstore aisle toward the cute girl with the bow in her hair. But it was entirely another for Ruby to try and make words coherent.

As Ruby stumbled forward with a yelp, the dark-haired girl looked up from her book, gasped, and quickly reached out to steady her, her eyes wide with shock.

“A-Are you all right?”

“S-Sorry! Yeah! I mean yeah, sorry!” Ruby straightened up stiffly and put on a smile that she hoped was more inviting than creepy. “I-I was just booking at the looks. I-I mean looking at the books! And then I saw you and well uh...” She tapered off instead of yammering, getting lost in the other girl’s pretty eyes.

“Well I’m glad you’re all right,” she smiled. “My name’s Blake.” 

Ruby almost yelped. There was no reason for this girl to be giving her name unless she wanted this to be a conversation that lasted.

“Uh h-hi, Blake! My name is nervous and I get Ruby around pretty girls. UM, WAIT-”

But Ruby clammed up when Blake started laughing like an angel. Ruby felt like her legs were about to buckle. 

Once Blake had composed herself, she put away the book she’d been looking over, clearly having found more interest in something else.

“Hi, Ruby. What books were you looking at, exactly? I can show you around.” She waved Ruby over and invited her to follow. 

And Ruby couldn’t scamper over quickly enough.

What if blake comes home after going to a party with yang. Ruby helps her in the house and in the moment blake spouts how much she loves ruby.

For Ladybug Sunday!

“Yang, you definitely let her go overboard.”

Ruby stood outside just as Yang pulled the car into their driveway. She’d texted Ruby ten minutes ago to tell her she’d be taking Blake home to crash at their place tonight and Ruby had come out to meet them.

“What can I say?” Yang shrugged. “Blakey had a rough semester and she deserved to have a few drinks, so I let her.” Yang put the car in park and rolled up the window before getting out. “It’s fine, right? I didn’t have a sip so I could drive us back. See if you can wake her, would ya?” 

As Yang strolled up to the front door and went in to start preparing a place for her friend to sleep, Ruby went to the car and opened the passenger’s side door. Blake was buckled in and fast asleep, snoring very quietly. 

Ruby chuckled at the sight of her and reached out to gently tap her shoulder.

“Blaaaake~? Can you hear me?” She reached over Blake’s lap to unbuckle the seatbelt. “If you don’t wake up now Yang’s gonna have to sling you over her back and carry you in like a sack of potatoes.”

Blake stirred slightly, Faunus ears flicking.

“Mmn... Yang?”

“Yeah. Yang’s preparing the couch for you now. But she’s gonna be back in a minute to-”

“Is... Ruby here?”

“Huh?” Ruby titled her head. Blake was mumbling to herself but her eyes weren’t open. Ruby shook her shoulder lightly. “I’m Ruby, silly.”

Blake’s eyes fluttered open slightly. A lopsided smile plastered its way onto her lips as her head rolled to one side.

“Good, thanks Ruby... Did you know....?” She trailed off mumbling again.

Ruby giggled and tried to shake her again.

“You’re not making any sense, Blake.” She heard Yang coming back down the driveway, ready to carry Blake back if she couldn’t walk herself. Ruby sighed.

“Well, I tried Blake. Looks like you’re getting carried. Yang’s here.”

“Yang?” Blake slurred again. “Oh good Yang’s here. I have to tell you, Yang. About Ruby.”

“I’m Ruby!” she chuckled.

“Even better.” Blake rolled her head again and tried to lift her hand up for her. “Ruby... tell Ruby I really like her. I like her sooooo mucchhh. Ruby’s cute...”

That clammed Ruby up. She felt her face heat up in a split second.

“I... U-Uh-”

“Make way, sis.” Yang nudged her aside and reached into the car to hoist Blake into her arms. When she turned around and closed the door with her hip, she found her little sister blushing madly. Yang smirked. “What, don’t tell me she just drunk-confessed or something.”

Ruby squeaked. “N-Nope! I mean... uh...”

“Cute.” Yang winked before heading back inside. 

Ruby followed with a skip in her step.

Ladybugger's first spat

For Ladybug Sunday!

“Blake, you can’t be serious!”

“I am serious.”

“Then you’re wrong!”

“That’s your opinion.”

“Then yours is wrong!”

“My opinion can’t be wrong, Ruby.”

“But it is! There’s no one else in the whole entire world who likes raisin cookies more than chocolate chip!!”

[I’m sorry I couldn’t actually do a real argument for them].

Hey, since its the tail end of Ladybug week, why not do today's Ladybug week prompt as a Ladybug sunday prompt? Which is SPORTS!

For Ladybug Sunday!

“Ruby, I’m really not-”

“Just try it out, Blake! What’s a summer vacation down the shore without some beach volleyball?”

Blake half-whimpered as her girlfriend pulled her from her nice shaded towel, away from her book, and into the blazing hot sun. All of their swimsuit-clad friends were waiting for them, split into two teams on either side of a volleyball net. Ruby pulled Blake over to the side that was lacking members and then jumped around to face the opposing team.

“Yeah, we have Blake now! You’re going down, Yang!”

“I’ll believe it when I see it, sis!”

Blake had never been good at sports, and she certainly wasn’t expecting any miracles now, even in spite of Ruby’s faith in her. Yang served the ball and everyone locked their eyes on it. Ruby sent it back over first, and then Weiss hit it back to them. Blake watched the ball come within her general vicinity, but Pyrrha quickly stepped in to hit it over in her stead.

Blake stood there for a minute or so as everyone else ran for and hit the ball, back and forth, back and forth, shouting to each other and whooping and cheering. Blake’s ears flicked as she stood awkwardly in the midst of it all. 

She was just about to start sneaking her way off the court when the ball came over again. Ruby dove for it and ended up in the sand, and by the time Nora sent it back Ruby couldn’t get up in time. So she called on her nearest teammate for help.

“Blake!”

“H-Huh-?” 

She froze and looked up at the ball, whizzing down straight at her like a comet with the blinding sun right behind it. She couldn’t react quickly enough. She tried to lift her arms but she didn’t know the first thing about bunting it, and she was too late anyway.

Everyone flinched as it smacked her right in the face. Blake let out a yelp and was knocked down into the sand, clutching her forehead with a moan. The spectacle took everyone’s eyes off the ball long enough for it to soar over the net and hit the sand on the other team’s side.

“Point!”

“No way!”

“Blaaaaake! You did it! We won!” Ruby rushed over and threw herself at her girlfriend just as Blake had been halfway to her feet. Ruby bowled her back into the sand again, hugging her tightly and peppering kisses all over her face. “Great headbutt! That was perfect! See, you’re great at this, Blake!” 

Ruby kept kissing her all over. Blake eventually chuckled and slumped in the sand beneath her. Her face turned red, but not just because she’d been hit in the face with a volleyball.

Late night ladybug Sunday: Ruby buys cute fake cat ears to "match" Blake... whom is not amused

"Hey, Blake! Look, look!" Ruby jumped up and down excitedly, pointing to the fake fluffy red cat ears on top of her head. 

They were in a dollar store, and Blake had been looking through the cheap books when Ruby had ran up to her. Her own ears flattened slightly beneath her bow as she pouted slightly, reaching out to remove the fake ears from Ruby's head.

It was only then Ruby realized she might've offended Blake a little.

"Ah, s-sorry. I just-"

"You look better without them..." Blake mumbled.

Ruby giggled softly, glad Blake wasn't hurt by her antics. She hugged her teammate and offered to buy her her favorite of the books for good measure.

For Ladybug Sunday: Ruby wants to go to an amusement park but it ends up raining too hard, so Blake dedicates herself to giving Ruby a great day inside

"It's gonna be great, Blake!" Ruby chirped as she pulled her girlfriend's arm, leading her down the hallway of the school. "There's gonna be rides and games and yummy foods! We just gotta catch our Air Ship, so come on hurry!"

Blake followed her excited leader to the doors, but she noticed the darkness outside right away and dragged Ruby to a stop.

"Ruby, wait." 

They halted just on the other side of the doors and Ruby peered outside. Blake watched her smile fall as she looked out, finding pouring rain drenching the outside world.

Blake squeezed her hand and spoke gently. "Ruby...?" She knew how much she'd been looking forward to their date together; seeing her so crushed like this made Blake's chest ache. 

Ruby's smile had faded as she looked back to her. "Ah... I guess we can't go after all. Sorry, Blake..."

She was on the verge of tears, and the Faunus girl quickly wrapped her arms around the girl.

"Hey, it's alright. Some other day, okay? For now, come with me. We'll have fun inside. Promise."

And she kept that promise. 

They ended up playing board games together in their room for a time, then went to the student kitchens to bake cookies, eating some of the raw dough and chocolate chips as they mixed the batter. They returned to their room and cuddled in bed to watch a movie, munching on the gooey cookies and laughing together, keeping warm.

By the time evening had come, Ruby was happily curled into Blake's side, mumbling softly. "Thanks, Blake. I had... lots of fun today," she said with a yawn.

Blake kissed her head. "Me, too."
