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

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

older Ruby found it quite cute.

"yeah yeah i know. don't chastise me. it's just my vocab now."

you huffed and turned away from her.

"don't you pout at me ya lil shit-"

you pouted harder.

"i swear if you were anyone else i would have hit you by now." she spoke. balling her fist lightly. "but you're just too fucking cute."

you wondered what exactly caused such a drastic change.

"TEAM RWBY!.....this is new. WEISS!? BLAKE!? YANG!?"

the 3 of you once more changed your direction of gaze, and you saw Ruby.

actually Ruby this time.

same height, no faunus features, acted just like the Ruby you knew....

although...why didn't she call your name?

the 3 of you who were sat down just looked at her.

"oh fantastic. now it's me as a kid."

the new arrival turned around and looked at the 3 of you.

she blinked.

"hello! my name is Ruby Rose, leader of team RWBY and proud creator and owner of Crescent Rose!" she spoke, puffing her chest out proudly.

"i know dipshit. i'm you." she spoke.

it seems she's acknowledged that she could be meeting other versions of her.

"but i'm me!"

the older and clearly depressed Ruby groaned and dragged her hand along her face.

"fuckin' kill me.."

the two mute individuals exchanged a glance at each other.

"what about those two?" the new Ruby spoke.

hearing her say that, knowing she was including you in that was quite painful.

sure, it wasn't your Ruby specifically, but it looked and acted exactly like her, so knowing she didn't know who you are hurt.

faunus Ruby signed out who she was, but it seemed this Ruby could not understand sign language.

"you look like me." she spoke, suddenly disappearing and reappearing next to her.

she hummed as if investigating something.

the 3 of you just sat there and watched.

"are you also me? but as a faunus?"

a nod of a head proved her correct.

"that's so....COOL!" she jumped up in joy and began bouncing up and down with stars in her eyes.

seizing her opportunity, adult Ruby moved her hand and picked you up by your arms, placing you onto her lap before running her hand through your hair in a continuous rhythm.

you blinked, confused at your sudden new placement.

however, you instantly capitulated at the feeling of her touch, much to your surprise.

her free arm snaked around your waist and pulled you further into her, and the both of you continued to watch the two, or well, one begin to bombard the other version of herself with the almighty words.

its's gonna be hard keeping track of all these Ruby's that keep appearing.

speaking of, you wonder, is Ruby going through the same thing you are?
