Who doesn’t need a little RedBeauty in their night?

To the few RedBeauty shippers that remain strong (despite being robbed of our Ruby altogether), I couldn’t sleep last night so I made a thing. =]

Dance with me

Shay had been so busy most of the night, talking to one dignitary or another, that Ruby had hardly seen her wife, aside from a few rushed introductions throughout the night.

It wasn’t until much later in the evening, when the musicians had packed up for the night, and most of their guests has retired to bed, that they finally had the chance to say more than a few words to one another.

Smiling softly at her wife, Ruby’s gaze trailed over the fine silk shirt and leather trousers Shay was wearing, “You cut quite the dashing figure tonight. I was hoping I would be able to pull you away for at least one dance tonight, but it wasn’t meant to be I suppose.”

Scratching the wolf’s head, Ruby raised an eyebrow, “So... Where exactly did you come from, and how do you know what I am?”

A wolf has now decided to pad over to you and sit right in front of you. She's extremely curious, it seems, sniffing you, then licking her chops, then making a few "yip" noises.

The moment she spotted the wolf, Ruby’s heart started to race… There were no wolves in Storybrooke, at least as far as she knew, so where had this one come from?As the animal got closer, she froze, staring at it. There was something about this wolf, something that she just couldn’t quite place, but whatever it was kept her from trying to back away. 

As the wolf sniffed her, she kept still, unsure if the creature was dangerous or not.

It was obvious by Belle’s body language, that she was feeling a bit uncomfortable, and that she was a bit wary of how Ruby might react to seeing her again. 

Setting aside the basin full of dirty dishes she had been clearing from the table, Ruby gave her friend a half smile, “Are you just gonna stand there all night, or are you gonna come in?”

Belle’s hand lingered awkwardly on the door handle, subconsciously ready to aid a hasty retreat.  Ruby didn’t look thrilled to see her.  She looked…confused?  Had it really been that long?

“I was just, uh…thinking how long it had been.  Since…I’d seen you, that is.“

Send "Dance with me" to pull my muse in for a slow dance.

Looking up from the table she was clearing, Ruby raised an eyebrow, “Hey there stranger.”

“Ruby?” Belle called out before she’d fully pushed open the door to Granny’s Diner.

“Oh, good!  I hoped you’d be here.  Haven’t seen you around much lately.“  Not that Belle had been around much lately, herself.

Hissing softly as Shay’s hand pressed to the largest of the bruises, Ruby fought the urge to pull away, to cover herself again. Sighing in relief as Shay’s healing powers started to flow through her, Ruby couldn’t bring herself to meet her lover’s eyes, but she nodded, “Yes... I was away too long yesterday, and when I got home...he had been drinking...”

"It hurts."

Shay went instantly to her lover’s side, gathering Ruby into her arms. “Where does it hurt?” worry was clear on her face as she checked Ruby over for any wounds.

Until now, Ruby had been successful in hiding her bruises from Shay, knowing that if her lover found out what was happening to her, she would be distracted from the revolution, and Ruby couldn’t bare the thought of being the one to blame for the most important leader of the revolution losing her focus.

Sighing, Ruby’s shaking hands moved to the buttons on her shirt, undoing them slowly, pulling the shirt and her shift off and setting them aside, revealing the purple bruises across her ribs.

"It hurts."

Shay went instantly to her lover’s side, gathering Ruby into her arms. “Where does it hurt?” worry was clear on her face as she checked Ruby over for any wounds.

Biting back a hiss of pain as Shay’s fingers pressed against one of the bruises on her ribs, Ruby couldn’t bring herself to meet her lover’s eyes, “Never mind... I’m fine.”

"It hurts."

Shay went instantly to her lover’s side, gathering Ruby into her arms. “Where does it hurt?” worry was clear on her face as she checked Ruby over for any wounds.

Her eyes going wide, Ruby took a quick step back from the wolf as the voice sounded in her head. Staring at the wolf for a moment, she slowly stepped forward again, carefully reaching out to stroke the top of her head, scratching lightly. “Who are you?”
