Death Won't Do Us Part (RWBY x malereader, Ruby x malereader.)

One Ruby, Two Ruby, Three Ruby, Four... (side chapter, non-canon?)

she seemed to be older...and taller.

she was also pale, her hair was dishevelled and her eyes, from what little you could see, no longer carried it's shine.

it was clear, she had been neglecting herself.

you managed to catch some writing on the bottle.

'Death Stalker Venom?' what was that?

she went to take another sip of whatever lingered inside the bottom but came to the unfortunate conclusion she was empty.

"..ah shit." she shook the bottle before shrugging and dropping it to the floor without a care.

you and Faunus Ruby looked at each other for a moment before looking back.

the new arrival turned around, and her eyes stayed straight onto you, not even entertaining the other next to you.

"...i'm hallucinating. what was in that bottle?" she said once more picking it up. "doesn't say anything about drugs..."

she continued to read the ingredients of the bottle.

"or i passed out from drinking and i'm dying?" she hypothesized. "either way...it's a win."

she walked over to the sofa and kneeled down, coming face to face with you.

"i missed that adorable face."

you blushed and looked away.

wait- NO! YOU BLUSHED AT ANOTHER WOMAN WHO WASN'T YOUR WIFE!?

SO UNLOYAL!

"..but what fever dream did you come from?" she then spoke, looking over to the other on the sofa.

the two had a stare down.

"i don't remember concocting a dream about being a faunus though.."

she shrugged, no longer caring, even though the person who had been talking to had tried to inform her of who they were, only to be ignored.

instead, she moved over and sat by your side, so both of your sides had been taken by a 'Ruby.'

'just what's her deal...?'

suddenly, her hand landed on your head, and she pulled you in, your face pulled into her chest as her hands continued to weave through your hair.

"and this fluff...brings back so many memories.." she spoke in a bittersweet tone.

however, she let you go when the faunus beside you had grabbed your back and tried to rip you off her with a blush.

'out of the chest!' she had thought to herself.

the older Ruby was forced to let go.

"even my dream won't allow me to have any enjoyment."

you couldn't help but stare.

you placed a hand on her leg and grabbed her attention.

she looked down at you.

you signed once more.

'...are you...Ruby?'

"do i look like someone else?"

'you're so....different than the Ruby i know...'

however, Faunus Ruby thought to herself. was this also a fate a different version of you could hold?

she didn't like that thought.

"shit happened."

you and faunus Ruby gasped.

"THAT WAS A SWEAR!" you signed at the same time.
