#KrisRuby

[banannabethchase]

KrisRuby with alien Kris (how you interpret that is up to you). Ruby is napping on a couch in the locker room and wakes up to find Kris kneeling over her, studying her intently.

Kiss is Cosmic - also on AO3

Ruby wakes up to Kris staring at her sleep, and finally figures out what's so intriguing about her.

Title from Katy Perry's ET. For the bingo square I4 Crack. Which is obvious.

Ruby has the sense somebody is staring down at her as she drags herself from the tendrils of sleep. She hadn’t meant to pass out on a locker room couch, but Saraya had kept her up until 3am going over outfit options and ranting about Toni and she couldn’t keep her eyes open.

It takes a minute to realize that she’s not making it up, that she really is being stared at, and she slowly blinks her eyes open to see somebody unreasonably close to her.

“Holy fuck,” Ruby says, scrambling to sit on the couch. “What the hell are you doing?!”

“Examining you.” Kris says it like it’s normal, like they’re discussing the weather. “I’m curious.”

“Cur – about what?”

Kris blinks at her, almost clinically. “The human body, when faced with trauma or adverse experiences, has multiple coping mechanisms. On observation, I’ve noted that your most frequent coping mechanism is falling asleep in random places at venues.” She smiles at Ruby. “You’ve been doing so more lately, so I wanted to see how intensely the coping mechanism locks into your psyche or if it was easily disturbed.”

“I am definitely easily disturbed when somebody watches me fucking sleep,” Ruby grumbles, rubbing at her eyes. “And coping – what the hell? Why are you watching me like that?”

Kris shrugs. “I think you’re interesting.”

“Are you hitting on me or something?”

Kris blinks her pretty eyes, unfazed. “Would you like me to hit on you?” She looks a little confused. “Generally my scientific requirements prefer me to be outside of the research, but I could reconsider. I have in the past.”

“Human subjects,” Ruby scoffs. “You say that like you’re not human.”

“I’m not,” Kris says. “We’ve been over this, like, a million times.”

“You dropped the alien gimmick over a year ago,” Ruby replies.

Kris tilts her head, and her inquisitive little smile is both intriguing and terrifying. “Gimmick?” she asks. “No, I didn’t drop anything. I’m more than a woman because, in my species, gender is optional and entirely separate from reproduction.”

It’s Ruby’s turn to blink, confused. “Excuse me?”

“Generally, on Earth,” Kris continues, “I present like this,” she gestures to herself, and Ruby can’t keep herself from scanning Kris’ body. She’s always told herself not to look. She’s never let herself look before. But here’s the invitation. “I enjoy this body. It provides fascinating reactions.”

Ruby feels her cheeks heat up without her permission. “Uh. Are you trying to tell me you’re literally an alien?”

“I don’t know why everyone doubts me,” Kris says, and she finally looks something other than clinical. “I’ve told people since day one. I’m from the Andromeda galaxy, and I’m the galaxy’s greatest alien. That last part is a personal claim, of course, but it added some flair to my identity.”

“You thought being an actual alien wasn’t flair enough?”

“Clearly it wasn’t, because no one believes me!” She throws her hands in the air. “I was sent here to do research, but all you humans are so sweet and charming. It’s almost impossible to avoid it. And then people like you come along, and you’re just so interesting, and you don’t even let me talk to you without trying to kill me.” She slumps down on the couch next to Ruby. “I love my belt, I do, but it would be nice to get somebody’s attention without it.”

Ruby scoots closer next to Kris. “You have my attention.”

“Only because I used you as a subject in my anthropological research,” Kris says, and she looks so sad Ruby has no choice but to put her hand on Kris’ thigh.

Kris turns to her. “I’m not doing that, by the way.”

“Doing what?” Ruby asks.

“Making you – nice,” Kris says, frowning like she wasn’t sold on her word choice. “I don’t have powers like that. All I’m good for is scientific research.”

“And wrestling,” Ruby says. “You’re very good at that.”

Kris blushes and tilts her head down. “Thank you.”

Ruby bumps her shoulder. “Are you sure you’re not putting any weird spells on me?”

Kris turns to her, and they’re so close their noses bump. “Promise.”

Ruby can’t be blamed what happens next. The day has been weird enough. She’s just following the pattern.

Ruby leans in and kisses Kris, the softest press of lips she could have imagined. It’s quick, sweet, but it makes Ruby wonder if she should do more about it than sweet.

When she pulls away, Kris is blinking at her. Her eyes settle on wide confusion. “You kissed me,” she murmurs.

“Yeah,” Ruby says, laughing. She rubs her hand at the back of her neck. “Yeah, I guess I did.”

“Either I have misread may cues, or that – meant something.” Kris frowns. “Unless some of your kind kiss people without reason?”

“I mean, some do,” Ruby says, shrugging. “But, uh. No, I think it might have meant something.” She’s not used to feeling this off guard around Kris, this entranced. “Oh, my god, I think I’m into the alien deal.”

“The alien deal?” Kris repeats. The confusion slowly blurs to something next to hurt. “Oh, I understand. The novelty is what intrigues you.” She smiles, but it’s the tiniest bit sad. “That often occurs with my scientific research. I grow attached and tell the person, but when they learn I’m an alien their interest peaks and wanes. It makes sense. Humans crave new experiences.”

Ruby opens her mouth. “I mean, I might be interested in a new experience with you because you’re Kris Statlander the whole time. The alien bit just made it…obvious.”

Kris tilts her head, her smile shifting. “Made what obvious?”

Ruby huffs. “Aren’t you a human expert or something? You know.”

“True, but I’d rather have it confirmed.” Her face lights up. “I’d never want my academic biases to overtake empirical evidence.”

“Why does that make you hotter?” Ruby mutters. “Fine. I think – I like you. I have for a while, but I’ve been ignoring it. Everything with the Outcasts, and losing to you for the title.” She closes her eyes. “And you being all –” She pauses. “All you about it made me think about it, and now here we are. On a couch, with you making me talk.”

Kris’ smile grows. “You can kiss me again, if you’d like.”

“Jesus fucking Christ,” Ruby mutters. But she leans in anyway, tasting the smile on Kris’ alien lips.

[banannabethchase]

Come one, come all, join me in my batshit crazy idea!

Welcome to the idea I probably should have kept locked away with my Matt Jackson/Brody King timefuckery fic.

Will you choose to fill it out based on fics you've already written? Will you write new ones based on a Bingo that speaks to you? Will you cross fandoms, or stay in one? Will you do what I plan on doing and try to hit blackout with all new fics in wrestleverse? It's all up to you!

My only request is that you tag me if you play the bingo game so that I can share in your Bingo adventures :)
