CHALLENGE 227: Love Live! Sunshine!! - 'Untitled/Fix.'
Title: Untitled/Fix
Fandom: Love Live! Sunshine!!
Pairing: Kanan/Ruby
Rating: G
Prompt: [227] Fix
Word Count: 415
Summary: Ruby and Kanan meet on the beach during a rough patch for Ruby.
Anxiety riddles Ruby’s body. She’s hot and she’s clammy all at once, even as she sits on the ocean’s edge and lets the breeze wash over her. She wishes she wouldn’t be so anxious, wishes that her passion for school idols could override her natural nervousness.
Ruby kicks one of her sandals off and drags her bare toe along the sand, seeking comfort in the coolness. Tears prickle her emerald eyes, and when she closes them, they fall down her cheeks.
“Ruby-chan?” comes a voice from behind her.
Ruby quickly smears her tears away with the back of her arm. Tries to smile, albeit weakly. She tilts her head up to see her there, Kanan, with a concerned, unsure smile on her face.
“You okay?”
“I’m fine,” Ruby says, perhaps instinctively so that Kanan doesn’t get more worried than she already is. “I’m just a little nervous before our live… so I came to watch the waves for a little.”
“I see,” Kanan says, and she sits down besides Ruby, even in her jeans. It must not be comfortable for her, and for that Ruby feels bad. There’s an awkward silence that makes Ruby’s heart sink before Kanan continues, “You don’t have to hide anything from me. It’s okay to be a little worried.”
At those kind words, tears swamp into Ruby’s eyes again. She sniffles, and again, they begin to fall down her face.
Kanan notices. Of course she does. Ruby can’t stop the tears, even though she’s embarrassed, even though she so desperately wants to. She wishes she could bury her head in the sand.
Kanan’s hands frantically fly into the air, and she says, “Crap! Did I say something wrong, Ruby-chan? I’m sorry, maybe I should leave…”
“N-no,” Ruby shakes her head, and her pigtails swing with her. “You don’t have to go. It’s just that… I don’t know why I get so anxious, even though we’ve been school idols for such a long time… I wish I could be fixed, somehow? I, if that makes sense…”
In an instance, Kanan’s hands go to Ruby’s face, and they wipe her hot tears. Ruby feels comfort in that hand, warm and cooling all at once compared to the uncomfortably waxing and waning temperatures of Ruby’s body. Ruby nuzzles her cheek into Kanan’s hand, and Kanan flits her thumb against Ruby’s skin.
“You don’t need to be fixed, Ruby-chan,” Kanan affirms. “It’s okay. It’s all okay.”
And when Kanan kisses her, Ruby believes her.
