The Rose of Remnant (Volume 2)

Slow Advice

Y/N is sitting in the gymnasium with Ruby while Yang and Weiss are getting the finishing touches set up for the dance tomorrow night. Ruby was staring out into space while Y/N was reading a book when Weiss approaches the table they are both at.

Weiss: Okay, Ruby and Y/N, pick one for the tablecloth. 

Y/N looks up from his book when Weiss pushes two pieces of paper in front of him and Ruby. Ruby scratches her head in confusion.

Ruby: Uh...aren't they the same?

Weiss scowled and was about to say something but Y/N intervened.

Y/N: Almost, Rubes. However, one is slightly darker than the other. Only someone who has developed an eye for very specific detail could notice the difference.

Weiss: *smiles* Finally someone gets it. So?

Y/N: Go for the left one. A lighter tone is what is needed for a dance party of sorts.

Weiss nods in satisfaction and walks off. Ruby puts her head onto the table, looking sad. Y/N turns to her.

Y/N: What's wrong.

Before Ruby answers, Yang comes over with a big speaker and puts it down, making both chairs and table fly a few inches off the ground.

Yang: *dusts off hands* There we go. *walks on over to the table* So, have you picked out a dress yet?

Ruby [dispirited tone]: *turns to Yang, head still on the table* What's the point. Who cares about the dance if Blake is not going.

Y/N: So that's what you're upset about?

Ruby silently nods as Yang gives a smile.

Yang: Don't worry, she'll come. Y/N and I will make sure of that.

Y/N: *looks at Yang, surprised* Wait what?

Yang: *looks at Y/N and smiles sinisterly* Don't tell me you're going to leave a girl alone while she's like that...right?

Y/N: *gulps with a sweat drop forming* N-no. *ahem* I mean, *turns to Ruby* I'll make sure she comes.

Ruby: *lifts head up* Really?

Y/N nods. Ruby thinks for a moment and holds out her pinkie. Y/N looks confused.

Ruby: Pinkie swear?

Silence fills the gymnasium as Weiss also heard it. Seconds go by before Ruby goes beet red and she waves her hands around.

Ruby: Onsecondthough.Youreallydon'tneedtodothat.IJustThoughtThatWithTheMomentAndAll. I'mSoSorry!

Y/N chuckles a little and holds out his pinkie towards her, making her stop her freak-out.

Y/N: Okay, *smiles* pinkie swear. 

Ruby reluctantly, while still red, wraps her pinkie around his, sealing the deal.

Yang: Awwwwww. That was the cutest thing I saw toda- *looks over at Weiss* Weiss!? I thought we agreed! No doilies!

(Doilies are those decorative pieces that go on tables or types of settings where you eat, drink tea, ect. TLTR: Doilies are fancy place mats on tables.)

Weiss rushes to where Y/N, Ruby, and Yang are and points at Yang.

Weiss: If I don't get doilies, then you aren't getting fog machines.

Y/N: *sigh* Remind me what type of dance this is exactly?

The four of them hear the doors to the gym open and look to see Sun and Neptune coming in.
