A Universe Apart: Ruby Rose X Male Reader

Halftime Entertainment

You are sitting in your bedroom at home spending time with your 3 closest friends in the whole world.
Zeke, his girlfriend Alena, and your closest friend who you claim as a brother, Jessie.
You're all watching the newest episode of RWBY which just so happens to be the last episode of Vol. 3 when it ends.

You: Wait did they seriously just kill Pyrrha AND Penny off!?!?

Jessie: Aw man, I guess Arkos won't sail after all...
At least she gave Jaune a kiss goodbye.

Alena: Its just too bad you weren't strong enough to make it to either of them in time (Y/N).

You: Huh?

Zeke: Yeah, I guess that means that in a way, it was all your fault (Y/N).
You should've trained harder.
Or maybe you just didn't care?

You: What are you guys talking about?

Jessie: Even though you knew what was gonna happen, and with all of your careful planning with Ozpin, you still couldn't save either of them.
Pathetic... I bet you're right Zeke, I don't think he cared at all or he would've found some way to save them.

You are now standing on the roof surrounded by your friends with Cinder turning Pyrrha to ash as Ruby just watches in horror.

Ruby: Why (Y/N)? Why didn't you do anything to save her?
Why did you lie to me?

You: What? No, Ruby I tried my hardest you have to believe me!

Cinder: Then why did you just stand there and watch?
You're almost as wicked as me.

Jessie, Zeke, and Alena: You just sat here with us and watched as it happened, Angel Of Justice? More like Demon of Pain.

You: No... it's all my fault... She's dead because of me... but I wouldnt... I can't!
I won't let her die!
Not this time!
I won't let her die again!

Ruby falls to her knees in tears.

Ruby: But you did... why (Y/N)?...
Answer me!
(Y/N)! (Y/N)! (Y/N)! (Y/N)!
Wake up, (Y/N)!

Your eyes shoot open as you wake up in bed next to Ruby, who's been trying to shake you awake.

You: Huh? What happened? Are you okay?

Ruby: I'm fine, but you were crying, and talking in your sleep.
You kept muttering things like "Its all my fault" and "She's dead because of me." What happened?
Are you okay?

You wipe your eyes and notice that you, in fact were crying.

You: Yeah I'm fine, it was just a nightmare.
Nothing to worry about.

Ruby: Do you wanna talk about it?
Maybe I can help?

You: No, that's fine.
You woke me up so I'm okay now, thank you Ruby.
You can go back to sleep, I'm sorry I woke you.

You pull Ruby in to give her a hug and she hugs you back tightly.

Ruby: You aren't gonna leave for some air again like you did the last time you had a nightmare are you?

You: No, this time I have you to help keep me calm.
Besides, I've already forgotten what the dream was about anyways, so let's just try to get some sleep okay?

Ruby: Okay, as long as you're alright.

You give Ruby a kiss on the forehead and run your hand through her hair until she finally falls back asleep.
You then lay in bed and try to get the dream you had out of your head, until you finally pass out an hour later.

You wake back up at about 9:30 with Ruby still cuddled up to you asleep so you slowly get out of bed, to keep from waking her.
You then grab the clothes you're gonna wear for the day along with your Duster and head to the shower.
A few minutes later you emerge looking clean and proper.
