It was a clear morning with hardly a cloud in sight. The day began with sounds of birds singing in a disarranged chorus. It was rather peaceful. The sun's ray shined its way upon Ruby's face, but even the bright light above her couldn't stir her awake. As she slept soundly, a voice entered her dreams.
Ruby, wake up! It's time to get up now!
“Huh?” Ruby awoke to the sound of her mother's voice again. “What time is it?” Ruby groaned taking out her scroll and checking the time. “Huh, it's 10:30 in the morning… already?” she turned it into its main page and saw that she had multiple messages and several missed calls.
“You finally awake, Ruby?”
“Huh!? What!? Neo!? What are you doing here!?”
“Um, Ruby… actually you came here last night. You were in the middle of talking about how you've been training for your mission that's what, a day from now? Two days from now? Then you passed out… for quite some time…”
Ruby gasped jumping out of Neo’s bed. “The mission! What am I doing? I need to train! I need to get out of here! I— What am I doing here?” she gave herself a pat down to be sure she had clothes on. “Oh thank Remnant, I have my clothes on.”
Neo giggled. “So do you happen to just take your clothes off when you sleep?”
“What? No. I just— we didn't do anything, did we?”
“Of course not. But we definitely can now that you're awake…” Neo began caressing Ruby's neck.
“No. I can't. I never should have been here…!”
“Ruby, c’mon, what's the rush? Why are you trying to leave?” Neo pleaded. I haven't seen you in a while… give me good time before going at least.” Neo began kissing Ruby's lips.
“N—no! Stop!” Ruby shivered. “I— I didn't mean to come…”
“Ruby, you came here on your own and now you're going to leave, I don't think I can just let you do that. Not when I let you in when you were so tired.” Neo said seductively stroking Ruby's hair and down to her chin pulling her in for another kiss, Ruby pushed her away.
“S—stop this, please! This isn't what I want!” Ruby cried. “I acted on impulse!”
“Oh no Ruby, you'll want it once I begin. So relax. Everything will be alright, I assure you.” Neo held Ruby's waist with one hand and the cupped Ruby's cheek.
“You don't understand! I don't love you! I never did!”
“Is Weiss confusing you? Weiss is a friend. And you're just a friend to her. If you two loved each other, you two would've gotten together a long time ago…”
“Something's got in the way…” Ruby's teeth grinded together. “And she's far more than just a friend to me!” Ruby spat, then took a few deep breaths trying to contain her anger. “Coming here was a mistake.” Ruby said evenly, but with a hint of venom in her words.
“Ruby, let me help set you straight, if you never loved me, then why did you leave her to come to me all those times? I know you wanted to see where we would go, but you don't love her. How can you say that you don't love me, when you came to me last night. We've even shared kisses together.”
“No… no Neo, no… every kiss and every moment we shared, I couldn't stop thinking about her… ”
“It was just a guilty conscious! Are you going to deny what we have, what we've done?”
