Ruby Rose was a very gifted young girl, which was very obvious to anyone. She had to be in order to get into one of the best Huntsman academies in the world two years early. Her academic skills were only matched by her skill with her weapon, which had gotten her to be one of the top students in combat classes. The only thing the redhead was really lacking in was her unarmed combat skills, but she was working on that. To put it simply, Ruby was a genius.

However, success like that didn't come without hardship. Just because Ruby was able to do well in Beacon, it didn't mean it just came from nowhere to her for free. Each good test score was the result of hours of studying and each of her perfect moves with her scythe were the results of grueling training. After all, nothing good came for free and Ruby knew that very well.

There were also other problems that caused the young team leader to work so hard. Since she was a team leader, she believed that it was her responsibility to work as hard as possible, so that she earned her position. There were also many people that didn't like Ruby, thinking that she didn't deserve to be in Beacon at such a young age. This also motivated the redhead to work so hard to prove these people wrong. Add in the fact that Ruby suffered from an inferiority complex and one could understand her need to do her absolute best.

Unfortunately for Ruby, there was one big obstacle in her way called Yang Xiao Long. Even before the truth about them not being related had been revealed to them, the blonde was quite often making it very hard for the younger girl to focus on her work. Back when they were younger, Yang was playing the role of ''worried older sister'' that wanted her younger sibling to meet new people and have fun. This habit of hers decreased a bit over time, but when the blonde was told about her real relation to Ruby, she was worse than ever before.

''Come on, Rubes! Come play with us!'' Yang said excitedly. She and Ruby were currently in their team's dorm with the younger one trying to study for their next big test. ''Team JNPR has gathered a bunch of games and has invited us to their dorm to have a gaming marathon! You have to come when even Blake has decided to join us!''

''Yang, I told you already that I can't come with you. I need to study for the next test,'' Ruby said with a frustrated sigh. ''Weiss isn't joining you guys either, so I'm sure that you can manage without me. Besides, she will have my head if I don't pass the test.''

''But you need to have fun too, Ruby!'' the blonde whined. ''You can't spend all your time with your nose buried in books! Even the book-obsessed Blake knows this, so why won't you take a break and come have fun with us!?''

''I don't spend all of my time with books, Yang! It's just that my position requires me to work harder than most students here, so I can't just skip on my studies.''

''Well, I skip on them quite often and I'm doing just fine! You should follow your awesome girlfriend's example!''

''If barely passing counts as fine, then I suppose you do...''

''Hey! I don't just barely pass!''

''Oh, that's right. Sometimes you fail miserably.''

''HEY!''

''Look, Yang, I can't join you guys this time and that's it. Maybe some other time I could-'' Ruby began to say as she started to turn back to her book again, but she was cut off when Yang suddenly took the book away from her. ''Hey, give that back!''

''No way, Rubes,'' Yang said with a smirk as she held up the book out of the redhead's reach. ''I'll only give it back to you, if you promise to come with me.''

''We'll see about that!'' Ruby declared and tried to get her book back by climbing on the much taller blonde, but was still unable to get it. ''It's not fair! You're way too tall!''

''Wanna give up? I could do this all day,'' the brawler said with a cocky grin on her face. ''I honestly can. I like having your body on mine.''

The young team leader tried her best to take back what was hers, but couldn't do it. In the end, Ruby gave up and fell off her girlfriend's back and onto the floor.

''Alright, you win. I'll go with you to JNPR's gaming marathon,'' Ruby said in a defeated tone, causing Yang to cheer for her victory.

''Yay! You're the best, Rubes!'' the blonde said happily, as she bent down to give her beloved rose a kiss. ''I'm sure you won't regret this! It's going to be so much fun!''

Ruby rolled her eyes. She then held up her hand towards Yang and asked, ''Can I have my book back now?''

''Nope! In fact, I need to make sure of something,'' the older girl answered before putting the book under her shirt and keeping it there.

''What are you doing, Yang!?'' the younger girl asked with a shocked expression.

''Just making sure that you won't simply take your book back and then run away,'' Yang answered with a grin. ''We both know that you're too sweet and innocent to start taking off my clothes, so you won't be getting it back until I give it to you.''

''Oh yeah!? We'll see about that!''

Ruby was going to take her book back from underneath Yang's shirt, but stopped at the last moment. Her fingers were mere inches away from the blonde's clothes, but the redhead couldn't bring herself to move them any closer. She just stood still with her hands in the air, while staring at where the book was hidden. No matter how much she tried to force herself to do it, Ruby was just too shy and sweet to do anything that could be considered even mildly dirty. In the end, she started shaking and blushing like crazy, before running to a corner of the room to sulk.

''I'm the worst...'' the young team leader said to herself in a depressed tone as she sat in the corner, hugging her knees.

''That's one of the things I just love about you, Rubes! I know you would never do anything wrong to me!'' Yang said happily as she went pick up her girlfriend from behind and lift her up in the air.

''That or the fact that you would pulverize me, if I ever did anything bad to you,'' Ruby said with a roll of her eyes.

''Also true. But enough chatter! The world of video games awaits us!'' the blonde declared happily as she carried Ruby under her arm towards team JNPR's dorm.

While Ruby often faced problems with Yang due to her studies, it wasn't always about her. Sometimes it was the older girl's studies that were the source of the problem. However, it wasn't because she studied too much. The problems came from her lack of studying.

''Alright, Yang, this one should be easy. Which type of Dust is used to heal damage done to the body?'' Ruby asked as she was quizzing the blonde in their dorm. She was sitting on the floor, while Yang was laying on her side on her bed.

''Oh, that's easy! Red Dust!'' the brawler said with a smile.

''No, Yang. That one is used for fire element attacks,'' Ruby said with a deep sigh. She had been doing this for a couple of hours already and her girlfriend hadn't answered a single question correctly.

''What!? I saw it being used to close a wound! How am I wrong!?''

''That was a movie, Yang! And they did that to quickly close the wound as they didn't have any proper medical equipment at hand!''

''Whatever! I still say that my answer was correct!''

''I wonder if Professor Peach will see it like that,'' Ruby mumbled in a frustrated tone as she stood up. ''Why did you even ask me to help you? I'm sure Weiss would have been a better teacher.''

''Nah. Ice queen makes Goodwitch look like the friendliest person in the world. I need someone who doesn't just scold me and nag at me all the time,'' Yang said lazily.

''But then you would at least listen to the teaching a bit! I don't think you have listened to any of the things I've tried to teach you!'' the redhead said angrily. ''It's almost like you asked me to help you with your studies, so that you wouldn't have to study!''

''Or maybe I did it so I could get to watch and listen to you as much as I want,'' the blonde said with a smirk as she jumped off her bed. ''Maybe I did it to be alone with you. Or maybe I have something else planned. Who knows?''

''Yang, the next test is very important. You should really focus on this,'' Ruby said as she slightly backed away from her girlfriend, slightly fearing what she might do.

''Really now?'' Yang asked as she leaned closer to the younger girl, so that her face was right in front of hers. ''Then I think that my teacher should discipline me. Do you think you need to borrow Goodwitch's riding crop for that?''

''Y-Y-Yang! Don't say things like that!''

''Not willing to do it? Well, then I guess that this student is not going to obey her teacher.''

Before Ruby could do anything, Yang tackled her and pinned her on Weiss' bed. The redhead tried her best to struggle, but was unable to do anything. She was completely at the blonde's mercy.

''Teacher's gonna get it now,'' Yang said happily as she kissed Ruby deeply, causing the younger girl to melt instantly.

Ruby was cursing inside her head about how things always turned out like this when she tried to tutor Yang. She was angry at herself for allowing this to happen and not being more firm. She also cursed how her girlfriend was able to control her so easily.

But damn did she secretly like it.
