Never Again - Ruby Rose x Male! Reader

A Close Encounter

Your POV

Team RWBY approached Team CFVY clearly worried, and engaged in a conversation. Perfect, I can give Ruby these cookies as a 'good luck' parting gift for their mission. Might as well greet and old friend while I'm at it. Getting through the crowd of students wasn't exactly easy, however.

"You first years are just shadowing Huntsmen, so you should be fine." I heard Velvet reassure them.

If only these other students would move!

Before I knew it, I got passed the huge crowd. Barely.

Ruby's POV

"You first years are just shadowing Huntsmen, so you should be fine." Velvet reassured us.

I couldn't help but still feel worried for our fellow schoolmate seeing them in this state. But at the same time, I can't help but feel excited for what we were about to go on!

"I should go. Be safe, okay?" Velvet smiled.

As she was about to leave, we heard a loud thud from right behind us.

"What was that?" Yang turned around. "Oh hey, it's (Y/N!)

I went to help him up, but not after giggling at him for being clumsy.

"Are you alright, (N/N)?" I said picking up the paper bag he dropped.

He gently stood himself up and dusted off his clothes.

"Thanks Rubes." He stretched his arms up. "Who knew the return of the upperclassmen would brew up this much attention."

"I mean you can't help but feel excited, but worried at the same time." I handed him the paper bag. "Just look at them."

He held my hand, stopping me from giving the bag back.

"Actually those are for you, it's something I picked up as a good luck present." He smiled.

"Really?" my eyes lit up in happiness as I saw what was inside. "Thank you, thank you, thank you so much!"

I latched onto him, giving him a tight squeeze. I felt his hand pet my head, and couldn't help but nuzzle into him a bit more.

Your POV

As expected, Ruby likes the cookies I got her. I can't help but smile at her behavior.

"Don't eat it all in one go thou-" my sentence was cut short when I heard that familiar voice scream out my name.

Followed by another person tackling me into a hug.

"I can't believe it's really you!" Velvet squeezed me tighter.

"Yeah... I'm surprised you can still remember me.." I said trying to push her off of me. "It's nice to see you again too."

"You two know each other?" Ruby asked a bit confused.

"Sort of," Velvet began her explanation. "There was an exchange program that my previous academy had with Haven. I met him there, barely able to withstand training."

Velvet's excited expression then turned into a sad one.

"I heard what happened." She hugged me once more, this time sympathetically. "I'm sorry..."

I broke off the hug and tried to give a reassuring smile, which she understood.

"Well it's been a nice little reunion, I'll see you guys around. Good luck and be safe!" she waved at us as she left.
