The Shadow Servant Hiatus (Ruby X Male Reader)

Burning the Candle

The view of a glum Ruby resting her head on her hand and staring into the distance before she is startled by someone slamming their palms on the table she is at.

Weiss: (Smiling.) I need you to pick a tablecloth. 

Slides two squares over to Ruby, both seeming to be similar shades of white.

Ruby: (Confused.) Aren't they both the same?

Weiss: (Sighs in frustration.) I don't even know why I asked!

Weiss walks out of the scene as Yang comes in carrying a massive sound speaker on her shoulder, which bounces her sister and the table she's moping on again to jump in the air when she dropped it on the ground.

Yang: (Brushing her hands as she approaches Ruby.) So, have you picked out a dress yet?

Ruby: What's the point? Who cares about the dance if Blake isn't going, and I don't even have a date?

Yang: Oh, don't worry; she's going, as for a date, (She smirked.) Let big sis Yang take care of that. (Looks over off-screen; Exasperated.) Weiss! I thought we agreed: No doilies!

Weiss: (Walks up to Yang, pointing in her face.) If I don't get doilies, you don't get fog machines!

The girls are interrupted by the sound of doors opening.

Neptune: (Walking in with Sun.) Your dance is gonna have fog machines?

Weiss: (Stepping up to him, becoming sweet.) We were thinking about it...

Neptune: That's pretty cool.

Sun: (Coming into the scene; Acting suave to Weiss' ire.) You ladies all excited for dress-up?

Ruby: Pfft... Yeah, right!

Yang: Laugh all you want. I'll be turning heads tomorrow night!

Weiss: (Addressing Sun and Neptune.) What are you two wearing?

Sun: Uuhhh... this? 

Gestures to his current shirtless outfit.

Neptune: (Steps up and holds a hand in front of his friend's face.) Ignore him for he knows not what he says.

Sun: (Knocking Neptune's hand away.) Hey, I may have moved to Mistral, but I grew up in Vacuo. It's not exactly a shirt-and-tie kind of place.

Yang: (Mirroring Ruby's and Weiss' looks of being told something extremely obvious.) Yeah, we noticed.

Sun: (Rubbing the back of his head; Preparing to ask:) Soooo... what does Blake think of all this? She still being all, y'know... Blake-y?

Weiss: Obviously. 

Turns and crosses her arms in disapproval

Ruby: I still can't think of a way to change her mind.

Yang: Guys. (Everyone looks at her as she starts walking out.) Trust me; Blake will be at the dance tomorrow.

~Timeskip~

(Y/N) was at the playground, the plates of spaghetti where already set along with the picnic table, as Ren left team SSSN arrived.

(Y/N): Hey! (Looking at them, more specifically at Scarlet and Sage.) Thank you for coming today, I'm sorry for interfering in your schedule, I owe you all.

Sun: No problem good buddy!

Neptune: What're friends for.

Scarlet: As long as you don't boss me around we're good.
