Ruby Rose gazed at the page in front of her, just as she had been doing for the past fifteen minutes as though she hoped staring it down would eventually force it to surrender its secrets. Still, despite being an accomplished weaponsmith, theoretical mathematics continued to prove something she just couldn’t crack. If it wasn’t something she could use in creating a new weapon upgrade or calculating her shot trajectory it just seemed an unnecessary waste of good brain space.

Ruby glanced up from her assignment just in time to see a certain Menagerie beauty, Blake Belladonna, walk past her through the library. The raven-haired faunus remained enraptured in a book as usual even as she approached. Ruby felt her chest begin to tighten, her hands beginning to sweat.

Ruby prepared to call out as she came near. “Hey Blake, I was just…” Rubys opportunity was lost as Blake past her by unperturbed, seemingly oblivious to the world around her. “Thinking if you weren’t busy this weekend…” Rubys gaze fell to the table as her voice trailed off into silence.

“Asking out the desk again, I see?”

Ruby looked up as Weiss Schnee took the seat next to her at the table.

“I’m not really in the mood, Weiss” Ruby bemoaned, allowing her head to fall back down onto the desk.

“Ruby, you’ve been beating yourself up like this for over a month” Weiss said, laying her books out on the table. “You’re on the same team, you see her every day, and you still can’t bring yourself to say anything”

“Really, Weiss, you’re not helping me feel-” the realisation struck Ruby in an instant, her head snapping up from the table as she stared at Weiss. “Weiss, you know about girls!”

Weiss turned to Ruby with a quizzical look in her eyes. “I should hope you do as well, seeing as you are one yourself”

“No” Ruby was quick to clarify. “I mean you know how to talk to girls and ask them out and stuff”

“Perhaps” Weiss replied. “But why would you need me for that?”

“Come on Weiss” Ruby sighed. “You know why”

“I’m afraid I don’t” Weiss said with a wry smile. “I guess it will remain a mystery forever then, goodbye” Weiss returned her attention back to her assignment.

“Wait, Weiss” Ruby reached out to grasp Weiss’s arm in her hand. “The reason is, you’re so much better than me at these kind of things”

Weiss lingered for a moment, considering her point. “Very well. I’ll do it on one condition” Weiss reached into her pocket to retrieve her scroll, activating the recording feature and laying it on the desk between them. “Say that again”

Ruby sighed before repeating. “Because you’re so much better than me”

Weiss smiled to herself, retrieving her scroll from the table. “And there I have my new scroll alert” Weiss returned her scroll to her pocket. “So, shall we begin?”

*******************************

Ruby and Weiss stood across from eachother in the RWBY dorm. Weiss looked over the items on the table beside her; wine glasses, flowers, candies, cookies. Weiss surveyed each one with the keen eye of an expert, assessing them for the slightest fault or imperfection. Weiss laid the glass in her hand on the table, shifting it a quarter turn until the light caught it just right.

Weiss looked up to face Ruby standing nervously across from her. “Seduce me” Weiss said authoritatively.

Ruby stumbled over herself as she replied. “I’m not sure what-”

“Seduce me!” Weiss yelled.

“Ok” Ruby panicked, grabbing for the first item she could think of. Ruby sauntered her way to close the distance towards Weiss. “Hey you, I’ve got some cookies and I thought maybe we could-”

“I am not one of your cookie girls!” Weiss interrupted with a dramatic flourish. The sudden outburst startled the younger crimsonette, sending the plate of cookies sprawling across the floor at their feet. “I am a woman. I like my partners elegant, sophisticated, refined. You want to ask me on a date? Prove you can earn it”

Ruby was left dumbstruck as she began to worry if she had just made some terrible mistake.

*******************************

“Next we shall try compliments” Weiss instructed Ruby sitting across from her. “How would you describe me?”

“Cold” Ruby answered.

“No” Weiss countered.

“Distant” Ruby offered.

“Try again” Weiss persisted.

“Pretentious?” Ruby attempted.

“Try ravishing” Weiss clarified. “Beautiful, enrapturing”

Ruby stared blankly back at her. “No, I don’t see it”

“Well you better start” Weiss bemoaned. “You’re hardly going to win Blake over if all you can think of is to insult her”

“Oh, you meant ones I could use on a date with Blake” the realisation overtook Ruby. “Ok, can we try again?”

Weiss’s glare suggested it was time to move on.

*******************************

“Dining etiquette is one of the most important and often overlooked aspects of proper courtship” Weiss’s instruction persisted as she made the final finishing touches to the layout of the cutlery in front of the seated crimsonette. Although Ruby could hardly make sense of precisely what it was she had changed.

“Demonstrate how you would eat your main course” Weiss instructed.

Ruby could only stare dumbfounded at the table arrangement in front of her, baffled by the sheer number of forks and knifes laid out in every direction. This was probably more tableware than her whole family went through in a week. Somehow, Ruby expected Weiss would be the only person in Beacon to have such a lavish arrangement to hand at such short notice.

Short of resorting to Eeny, meeny, miny, moe Ruby selected a fork and knife set at random. The cutlery had barely touched the plate before the fork was suddenly yanked from her grasp.

“That hardly seems like an appropriate use for your Oyster fork” Weiss admonished. “Here’s a little trick to help you remember.

Weiss firmly clapped the broadside of the fork across Rubys stunned forehead.

*******************************

“And step, one… two…three…Step, one… two…three…”

Ruby followed along with Weiss’s steps as they moved across the dorm. Utilising Weiss’s years of classical dance instruction Ruby followed along as best she could with her partner.

“I think I’m finally starting to get the hang of-” Rubys moment of inattention was all that was necessary for the crimsonette to unsettle her precarious balance, sending them both tumbling towards the floor. Ruby was only spared the harsh impact by having something soft to land on, Weiss did not have such a luxury. The two lingered in looming silence as the awkwardness of the situation continued to grow between them.

“Well, Dad did always say I had two left feet” Ruby remarked by way of justification. “Although, it is kind of romantic in its own way if you think about-”

“Ruby” Weiss interrupted. “Get off me”

*******************************

“Final question” Weiss said. “You have dinner reservations at a restaurant for seven. What time do you arrive?”

“Oh, I know this one” Ruby answered eagerly. “Seven, am. I scout the resurant and the surrounding streets in advance, identify potential sniper positions in case of a Grimm attack. Plot out potential escape routes and store secondary weapons nearby as necessary. I then utilise my speed semblance to prepare for the date itself, arriving no later than quarter to seven for pre-dinner drinks”

“You’re ready” Weiss affirmed.

“Really?” Ruby couldn’t believe herself.

“No” Weiss replied flatly. “Everything you just said was moronic. Congratulations, you’re a failure”

Ruby felt the tinge of sadness pass through her. Until she came to a startling realisation. “But am I really?”

“Yes” Weiss reiterated.

“Are you sure?” Ruby asked slyly.

“Yes” Weiss persisted.

“Really?” Ruby asked again.

“Ruby, where are you going with this?” Weiss asked.

“Maybe you’re just trying to make me think I failed to see how I would react” Ruby mused. “This is just another test, setting me up for the possibility of rejection”

“No, it’s really not-” Weiss tried to protest.

“Oh Weiss” Ruby threw her arms around Weiss’s shoulders, drawing her into a crushing hug. “You’re so amazing, I could kiss you-”

Ruby glanced aside to only now notice Blake standing in the doorway, looking up from her book as she stated at the two of them enraptured in their embrace. Blake wordlessly stepped away and closed the door behind her.

***************Authors Nonsense***************

<Weiss catches up with Blake to explain>

Weiss: “Look, Ruby just asked me to help her because she wanted to ask you out”

Blake: “I know, it was kind of obvious. I just wondered when she would get up the courage to say it”

Weiss: “I know. I mean can you ever imagine me and Ruby being compatible? Of course she’d be interested in you-”

Weiss’s Scroll Alert: “-Because you’re so much better than me”

<Weiss hastily deletes her scroll alert>
