"-can't believe my widdle baby sister is coming to Beacon with me! Oh Cinder's gonna be so happy! The three horribly named chaos sisters, together again!" Yang cheered as she pulled Ruby out of the station, arm wrapped around Ruby's shoulders as she led her baby sister to her awaiting bike. "Beacon's not gonna know what hit 'em!"
"Probably your fist," Ruby deadpanned, sighing as she let her hood dissolve into petals and reform around her head, pulling it down to hide herself in her own cloak even as she unconsciously nuzzled deeper against Yang's side. "That's usually what breaks everything, remember, Yang? Also- horribly named? Really?"
"Of course really, we've been trying to come up with a name for all three of us for seven years , Rubles, and so far we haven't come up with anything better than Taiyang's Kids, and I refuse to let myself be defined by dad," Yang explained, huffing and rolling her eyes as she picked Ruby up and plopped her down just ahead of her own seat- technically it wasn't safe for them to be doing that and it was totally illegal… but at the same time, it wasn't like Yang really cared for laws half the time and Ruby spent most of her time fighting grimm in the backwoods of Patch or Sanus or Anima and sometimes Solitas so like… whatever. It was fine. Besides, they had Aura and Ruby was a semi-solid mass of writhing shadows and visceral hatred in the form of a fifteen year old girl covered in gothic lolita and bone plates. "Seriously though Rubes, I'm… actually pretty glad that you're coming with me to Beacon. I mean… I don't want you to have to skip years to join me, but… I'm still glad. I've never been that far away from home, y'know? And you've never left for more than like a month at a time- usually less."
She paused, taking a long breath and straddling Bumblebee as she wrapped her arms around Ruby from behind, their helmets clacking together as they just sat there for a long moment.
"If I went to Beacon too, sure I'd have Cinder… but then you'd be all alone for months on end. I wouldn't be able to come see you most of the time either, except maybe on weekends when our schedules lined up. I don't wanna leave you alone like that," Yang sighed, bumping her helmet against Ruby's again and letting her sunny smile fall slightly as she squeezed her baby sister around the waist and shook her head ever so slightly. "I promised myself that one day I'd get strong enough to stand with you, to protect you the way I should have when we were kids. To… to make up for the way I failed you, almost got you killed . And… I know I'm not strong enough now. But I want to be. I'm your big sister- me and Cinder, we're supposed to be watching over you, no matter how big and strong and badass you get. I guess I haven't been doing a great job at that, huh?"
"Wh- no! Yang, you're amazing! You're the best big sis I could ever ask for!" Ruby protested, pressing herself against Yang as she felt a surge of self deprecation rising in her sister- trying to move, only for Yang's arms to tighten around her waist until Ruby knew she wouldn't be able to actually change positions without forcing Yang to let go. "You're- you're my super sis, just like Cinder! You took care of me when I was home, you played games, did homework together, you took me on so many rides with Bumblebee… even when Cinder was doing her own journeys and picking up on her schoolwork, you and her both always made time for me- never once told me to just buzz off or go away. I- I know you've been struggling, and… I'm sorry I haven't been able to do more. I'm- I don't really know how to deal with the stuff you're going through. All I can do is hug you and hope it makes you feel better."
"..." Yang sighed, shifting slightly as she felt Ruby's cloak dissolve into petals between them, reforming around Yang's shoulders and wrapping around her entire body like a blanket- wrapping around the both of them and making sure neither of them could really get away from the other. "That's the problem, Rubes. I just- you're fifteen. You're the baby of the family. You shouldn't have to be the one lifting us all up just because you can sense emotions. We're supposed to be taking care of you- making sure you're okay. Me, dad, Uncle Qrow, Cinder- all of us are supposed to make sure you grow up happy. And… I guess I never realized how much all of us rely on you and your hugs. It feels like we're just piling shit on you and- that's not cool."
"It's okay, though! I'm- I chose to do it, okay? I know that you guys feel bad about piling stuff on me, but I can handle it! I'm training to be a Huntress too, y'know? I'm not a baby anymore and I'm not weak! I want to help you. I want to be here so everyone can feel better! I have the powers I do and there's no changing that so- just…" Ruby sighed, leaning back into Yang's arms and letting her own helmet dissolve back into the bone shards it was made of, petals fluttering around her head as the helmet turned back into a hood. "I can feel your emotions, Yang. I can always feel your emotions. Yours and dad and Uncle Qrow and Cinder and Neo and Emerald and Mercury- all of them. I… can't help but want to help you, or anyone else I sense feeling bad. You're not piling anything on me. I'm taking it because I love you. You're my sister, Yang. Just because you're taking care of me doesn't mean I can't take care of you too."
"... When did you get so wise, Rubles?" Yang mumbled, burying her face into the material of Ruby's hood, tears pooling in her eyes for a moment before she sniffled loudly and wiped them away about as surreptitiously as she could into the fabric. Which, now that she thought about it, probably wasn't surreptitious at all because the hood was part of Ruby and Ruby could feel just about anything through her cloak and-
".... I got wise because I spent most of my life so far being able to sense every negative emotion in a five mile radius," Ruby deadpanned, shifting her body around in a flurry of shadows and rose petals so she could face Yang properly, positioning herself so she was sitting side saddle on Bumblebee while resting her head against Yang's shoulder and poking her sister in the cheek. "And you just wiped tears on my hood. Jerk."
"Hey, it was right there and I'm busy hugging you, I couldn't exactly use my sleeve," Yang pouted, puffing her cheeks out and butting her head against Ruby's to no avail- even with Aura, her sister's skull was too thick to drive the lesson home. "You're a jerk, you little baby jerkface!"
"Am not! You're the jerk! You keep getting gross stuff in my cloak all of the time!" Ruby shot back, crossing her arms petulantly as she bumped Yang right back, the two of them wrestling about as well as they could without actually getting off of Bumblebee and fighting for real right there in the street in front of the police station that they still hadn't left yet.
"I do not! Name one time!" Yang gasped indignantly, feigning shock as she drew herself back and leveled a theatrical glare at her sister.
"Peanut butter! Last week! Because you were trying to catapult it at Zwei and you missed!" Ruby squeaked out, her voice rising higher as she worked herself into an annoyed pitch.
"Your cloak moved between the peanut butter and Zwei! How was I supposed to know that you'd move it right when I flicked the spoon?"
"You shouldn't have been doing it in the first place! Just like you shouldn't have wiped your dirty grease fingers on my cloak after you worked on Bumblebee!" Ruby huffed, crossing her arms and looking away indignantly and giving Yang the stink eye with the grimm eyeballs set into the bone plates on her cloak.
"Hey, it's not my fault your cloak looks like a dirty rag at the end! If you don't want me to wipe my fingers on it, then stop making it look like a dirty, torn up rag!"
"No way! I keep it like that cuz of Uncle Qrow!"
"Then keep it normal looking like mom's! You look better in plain red than that weird shadow gradient you have!"
"The shadow gradient is cool! You just don't have any taste in fashion!" Ruby finished, dropping that bomb and giving a haughty sniff as though she'd actually won something instead of directly insulting Yang's fashion sense.
".... Ruby, you wear the same exact outfit every single day. The same outfit you've been wearing since you were nine . An outfit that, despite Cinder and I buying you extra clothes, you refuse to change no matter what," Yang deadpanned. "Your fashion sense is just wearing what mom wore when she was at Beacon, but with more red and less white."
"Yeah, but I make it look good."
"Keep telling yourself that, Rubes."
"I will!"
