Yang watched out of the corner of her eye as Vomit Boy had what looked like a spat with his team before stomping off with Racist Boy and his merry band of asshats. Huh. Douche move. She'd honestly thought better of him.
Bad Vomit Boy. You'd better get your shit together, or you might just find yourself missing a kneecap or two.
"Yang?" came Ruby's squeaky little voice from behind her.
"I wanted to punch the old man too, Rubes," Yang replied sagely, as if it were the most profound of truths.
"Uh..."
"It would've been beautiful, Rubes."
Forget doodling dicks on his whiteboard—giving the old man a couple of solid haymakers would've restored balance to the universe.
She smirked at the thought.
And payback for all the boredom that merciless bastard inflicted on my poor soul.
"Yang... this was only the fourth lesson," Ruby pointed out hesitantly.
"Four punches, then," She replied without missing a beat. "C'mon, don't you think it's unfair that the new guy was the only one who got to throw hands?"
"I... I mean... maybe next time?"
Yang snorted, thoroughly amused. She was pretty sure Port wasn't planning to fight anyone himself. More likely, the old man had been gearing up to drag them to the dusty arena nearby where he had a couple of half-starved Grimm stashed. But in her personal head-canon? The new guy clocked him in the face before he even had the chance. And not even the Brothers themselves could change that narrative.
"Eh, I'll just beat the new guy's ass to make myself feel better,"
"Uh... right now?" Ruby asked, her confusion as adorable as a puppy trying to chase its tail.
"Hmm, nah. Weisscream would whine about us being late," Yang replied, waving the idea off. "I'll wipe the floor with him... after lunch."
"But what about Combat class..." Ruby pressed, still concerned.
"Hmm, yeah, Milfwitch might be a pain if I'm not in top form. Guess that's just more incentive to fight well, huh? I mean, wouldn't want to get deten-sion from her."
"Yaaang... wait, what's a milf?" Ruby whined, her wide, innocent eyes blinking up at her like she was genuinely trying to crack a code.
She burst out laughing, the kind of laugh that echoed down hallways and made people curious and concerned in equal measure.
"Oh, Rubes, I'll tell you when you're older. Just, uh... maybe don't use the word until then, yeah?"
Ruby pouted but nodded, clearly still unsatisfied with the answer.
"Where are Weiss and Blake, anyway, oh glorious leader?"
Smooothly changing the subject
Subtlety wasn't her strongest move, but thankfully, Ruby wasn't a tough audience to distract.
"Weiss said she had something to talk about with Oobleck before class, and Blake went to the bathroom," Ruby chirped, every bit the sweet little sister Yang adored.
Ruby was just too precious for this world. She almost felt sorry for the poor sucker she'd have to neuter when her baby sis finally got a boyfriend—or girlfriend. She wouldn't judge.
Her fists were rated E for everyone, after all.
She hummed to herself as she cast one last glance over her shoulder at the still-closed door of the classroom they'd just left.
Honestly, she couldn't wait to be the first to get a proper read on Tall, Strong, and Mysterious, who'd suddenly dropped out of fuck nowhere with all that swagger. His face? She'd seen better. But those tight butt cheeks? Rawr.
If only Nikos wasn't such a damn overachiever. The redhead had practically drawn her sword mid-lecture, like she'd been waiting for the first half-decent guy to show up so she could bonk him on the head and drag him back to her lair. Yang had stayed behind her team just to recover from laughing her ass off at the whole thing.
But, of course, Professor Boredom (a.k.a. Port, as Ruby so kindly dubbed him) had to play knight in shining armor, putting a stop to the girl's dastardly plan and preserving the new guy's virtue by talking to him after class. Truly, a tragedy for comedy and conquest alike.
Yang snorted to herself, shaking her head.
"Yang?"
"Nothing, Rububles. Just thinking... Pancakes before class? Pyrrha's team was talking about them earlier, and..."
Ruby perked up, her eyes practically sparkling.
"You had me at pancakes!"
