Ruby and Yang's Dances (Chapter 34a)

"(Y/N) Singing the words quietly."


--------------------
Ruby's Dance


(Y/N): "Would you like to dance Rose?" You presented a hand.


Ruby: "I would love to." She took it and you led her to the dance floor.



As the song started to play a number of other couples joined the dance floor, Ruby looked around nervously.


(Y/N): "Just follow my lead." You smiled at her.


Ruby: "Alright." She beamed at you.


You wrapped your arms around her waist as she wrapped her arms around your neck.


Loving can hurt, loving can hurt sometimes
But it's the only thing that I know


All the couples started to sway to the music slowly.


When it gets hard, you know it can get hard sometimes
It is the only thing makes us feel alive


Ruby looked at you confused as to why you picked this song to dance with her.


We keep this love in a photograph
We made these memories for ourselves
Where our eyes are never closing
Hearts are never broken
And time's forever frozen still


You helped Ruby spin on the spot by holding her hand above her head before taking her other hand again.


So you can keep me
Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans
Holding me closer 'til our eyes meet
"You won't ever be alone, wait for me to come home"


You brushed away some hair that blocked her eyes as she stared up at you.


Loving can heal, loving can mend your soul
And it's the only thing that I know, know
I swear it will get easier
Remember that with every piece of you
Hm, and it's the only thing we take with us when we die
Hm, we keep this love in this photograph
We made these memories for ourselves
Where our eyes are never closing
Hearts were never broken
And time's forever frozen still
So you can keep me
Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans
Holding me closer 'til our eyes meet
"You won't ever be alone"


She tilted her head as if she had almost realised what you meant through the song.


"And if you hurt me
That's okay baby, only words bleed
Inside these pages you just hold me
And I won't ever let you go
Wait for me to come home"


Your reasoning seemed to dawn upon her as she hugged herself closer to you.


"Wait for me to come home
Wait for me to come home
Wait for me to come home"
Oh, you can fit me
Inside the necklace you got when you were sixteen
Next to your heartbeat where I should be
Keep it deep within your soul
"And if you hurt me
Well, that's okay baby, only words bleed
Inside these pages you just hold me
And I won't ever let you go"


You hugged Ruby back to reassure that message to her.


"When I'm away, I will remember how you kissed me"
Under the lamppost back on Sixth street
Hearing you whisper through the phone
"Wait for me to come home"


You kissed the top of Ruby's head and led her off to the side again.


(Y/N): "You could never hurt me Ruby and I'll always come back to you."


Ruby: "You better..." She squeezed your hand and smiled. "Do I have to take off my boots?" She gave you a very convincing set of puppy eyes.


(Y/N): "Alright fine, don't tell Blake."


You both drank from your punch watching others move in for another song.


[I honestly believe this is possibly the weakest song link out of them all so here's a brief explanation. Ruby lost her mother never truly knowing her, only knowing she was apparently super mom. One day she went on a mission and never came back. Ruby now wants to be a huntress to protect the ones she loves and cares about and after personally watching you nearly die by her hands she just wants you to be safe and come back to her like her mother never could. This is a promise from you to Ruby that you'll always come back to her.]

Yang's Dance


Yang: "Surely we can work something out?" She asked while moving forward until she was pressed up against you all with an innocent face.


(Y/N): "Oh go on then, for you." You rolled your eyes while changing the queue.


Yang: "Knew you would." She stepped back grabbing your hand and leading you back to the dance floor just as the song was ending.



Yang grabbed your hands and swung them a bit while smiling, mainly just waiting for the song to start.


Yang: "Come on then Casanova, wow me."


(Y/N): "If you insist."


The pair of you started moving in time to the music.


I met you in the dark, you lit me up
You made me feel as though I was enough
"We danced the night away, we drank too much
I held your hair back when
You were throwing up"


Yang: "That was one time." She whispered to you silently laughing.


"Then you smiled over your shoulder
For a minute, I was stone-cold sober
I pulled you closer to my chest"


Pulling her closer to your chest you laughed as the normally infallible Yang grew a small blush.


"And you asked me to stay over
I said, I already told ya
I think that you should get some rest"


Yang: "I was drunk, you were hot ok..." Her blush grew.


"I knew I loved you then"
But you'd never know
'Cause I played it cool when I was scared of letting go
I know I needed you
But I never showed
"But I wanna stay with you until we're grey and old
Just say you won't let go
Just say you won't let go"


Yang stared into your eyes as you span her around as if trying to discern the truth.


I'll wake you up with some breakfast in bed
I'll bring you coffee with a kiss on your head
And I'll take the kids to school
Wave them goodbye
"And I'll thank my lucky stars for that night"


You intentionally missed the other lines knowing that wasn't the life Yang dreamt for herself.


When you looked over your shoulder
For a minute, I forget that I'm older
I wanna dance with you right now
"Oh, and you look as beautiful as ever"
And I swear that everyday'll get better
You make me feel this way somehow


The two of you span each other around while not caring about the attention drawn.


"I'm so in love with you
And I hope you know
Darling your love is more than worth its weight in gold
We've come so far my dear
Look how we've grown
And I wanna stay with you until we're grey and old
Just say you won't let go
Just say you won't let go"


You pulled Yang close to you in a tight embrace that she accepted and returned.


I wanna live with you
Even when we're ghosts
"Cause you were always there for me when I needed you most
I'm gonna love you till
My lungs give out
I promise till death we part like in our vows
So I picked this song for you, now everybody knows"


You whispered into Yangs ear as tears brimmed in her eyes.


"Finally it's just you and me till we're grey and old
Just say you won't let go
Just say you won't let go
Just say you won't let go
Oh, just say you won't let go"


Yang: "I will not let go." She pulled away from you and kissed you softly, to which you returned the kiss.


It was short but packed with emotion and when she pulled away you gave her a smile worth a thousand words. She gripped your hand and pulled you back to the sidelines.


Yang: "Alright I'll admit it... that was pretty romantic."


[Screw it I'll just do this with all the songs. Yang's abandonment issues. Her real mother left her, her other mum died, her father grew distant for a time and she had to raise Ruby on her own who is also starting down a path that will take her away from Yang. This song is to show Yang you won't leave her no matter what.]
