Ruby couldn't help but feel her face flush red as she walked towards the cafeteria.

It wasn't because she was holding hands with her girlfriend, it wasn't that at all. There was no way she was going to be embarrassed by that. No, it was the series of marks along her neck, the signs of a rather eventful night. They were the result of Pyrrha's lips pressed against her skin just a second too long. Or not long enough…

It wasn't that Ruby was ashamed of them, no not in the slightest; it was a sign of a level of trust between her and Pyrrha, as well as a reminder of their moments. It was almost like a physical mark of Pyrrha on her. It's also a sign that Pyrrha is a dirty cheater at video games!

The problem was it gave Yang a boat load of ammunition to tease her.

Which was why Ruby's hood was pulled over her head, strategically placed so Yang would never even have a chance to see the marks. This will most definitely work!

Taking a seat at the table, with Pyrrha closely behind her, Ruby took one bite of her morning cookie before Yang looked over. "So, it looks like you two had fun last night."

"We did." Pyrrha had a warm smile on her face as she looked at Ruby. "Although, it'd seem I'm rather bad at video games."

"Oh really?" Yang gave a mischievous smirk at Pyrrha before glancing back to Ruby. "Doesn't seem to have hurt the fun, especially since Rubes' neck is redder than her cape."

In Ruby's rush to consume all of the cookies placed before, her hood had fallen off much to Yang's amusement.

"Yaaaaang!" Ruby knew her face had turned bright red as she tried her best to stop existing, pulling her hood over her head to hide the beet-red blush she had. A time-tested method of 'if I can't see them, they can't see me' approach.

What she didn't see was the Pyrrha's smile turn into a frown.

"Ruby?"

Ruby lazily lifted her head out up from her girlfriend's lap. "What's up?"

"Do you… are you…" Pyrrha trailed off. Huh, that's weird, Ruby slowly roused herself awake. "Are you ashamed of what we do?"

"What?! I'm not ashamed of you!" Ruby was most definitely awake as she looked at her better half. "Why… why would I ever be ashamed of you?!"

"I don't know." Pyrrha said simply, a frown in place of her usual smile –a worrisome thing to see for Ruby. "I just… when you hide the hickeys I just feel… sad. Are you ashamed of them? We don't have to do them any more…"

"I'm not ashamed!" Ruby blurted out. "I… I just don't like Yang teasing me…."

"Oh." Ruby could tell Pyrrha was trying to process what to say next. "I really don't mind not doing it, then Yang wouldn't be able to tease you about them."

"No, I really do like it when you do that." Ruby shook her head before groaning. "I guess I just need to get used to being teased about it." Sighing, Ruby flopped back down onto Pyrrha's lap. "Stupid hood falling off…"

"You know, I wouldn't be adverse to you giving me some."

"Buh-wha?"

"Well." Even in the dim light of early morning, Ruby could see Pyrrha blush as she spoke. "You could always give me a hickey o-o-or a couple!" Pyrrha's face was a very deep red, almost crimson, now as Ruby stared, flabbergasted, at her. "…that way you aren't the only one being teased in the morning, right?"

Ruby couldn't help but gawk at Pyrrha. "I…Wha… huh?" Words were not Ruby's friend today, as she struggled to put thought into words.

"I just… wouldn't mind t-nhnnn"

Of all things, it was Pyrrha's reaction that surprised Ruby the most.

Pyrrha was trembling.

It was something quite unlike what Ruby had expected, the older girl trembling as Ruby lightly sucked on her neck. For some reason she thought that the champion would just be unmoving under the slight pressure. It was the opposite actually, as Ruby could feel muscles flex and strain. It was the opposite of their usual dynamic; Ruby felt in control as Pyrrha made a small, but definitely happy noise. The noise made Ruby relax, it stripped away her concern about hurting Pyrrha and instead let her focus on marking her.

Pyrrha was at her mercy, the powerful huntress, the Invincible Girl herself, was at Ruby's mercy as her lips marked the teen as her own. Ruby could feel Pyrrha press against her, all while craning her neck to allow Ruby better access as red bruises slowly trailing up it.

It was exhilarating.

It may have been a few seconds or a few hours, but time seemed to flow slowly as Ruby moved up Pyrrha's neck, giving each spot a little kiss before moving up. A gradual, creeping climb upwards, almost delectably slow.

Inevitably, all good things came to an end, although not the end that Ruby thought it'd be.

"Are you two going to get out of bed or do I have t-to…" Weiss' voice trailed off at the sight of her partner and her partner's girlfriend necking.

Ruby could feel the heat rising in her cheeks as Pyrrha hesitantly addressed the retreating Weiss.

"Um. Goodbye?"

AU: Well that… was… a thing. Yeah.

Kinda a sequel to video game chapter and what have you. Pyrrha really just wanted to get marked up it'd seem. Also that was a bit more than, er lewd then I probably will ever do again. Yeah. Maybe. I dunno. Things, man, things. Was this chapter okay? I feel it was kinda... crap, to be honest X_X

For those who read my other Pyrrha/Ruby story, Acceptance, –if you haven't, you should take a gander, its pretty good in my very bias opinion- I should be having the next chapter posted on the first Friday of December! :D I actually made enough progress that it looks feasible.

Episode 3 was just... yes. Quite possibly my favourite, tied with ep 5 of vol 2... although this episode was actually stronger overall.

New Dilation chapter tomorrow, before I forget! :D

Thanks for reading and have a great weekend!

P.S: I WAS GOING TO DO A OMAKE BUT FORGOT, NEXT TIME!
