Falling For You

Summary:

Ruby gets the surprise of her life. Season 6 AU.

Work Text:

I'm falling for you, Ruby. I try to stop, but I can't help myself. The love that I felt for Amber, Ebony, and
Trudy, can never compare to what I feel for you. Even though I know that you love Slade, and only think
of me as a friend, I can't help my feelings," Jay watched Ruby, after he confessed his love for her. Maybe
it was shock, because ever since he had finished speaking, Ruby hadn't spoken a word. As a matter of fact,
she hadn't done anything but stare at him, and it worried Jay. Finally, Ruby seemed to come back to reality.

"I... Jay are you sure? Because everything I've ever heard about you, well, it's not exactly a pretty story. You
were a General for the Techno's. You used and slept with Amber, Ebony, and Trudy, and then tossed them
aside like they were nothing; I don't want that to happen to me. I've already had it happen once, with Slade.
I don't have it in me to be used again. So if you're just asking me out, so that you can have a round in the
bed, then I'm asking you, not as woman to a man, but as Mall rats, friends, don't use me."

Jay was surprised at Ruby's words. But then, he was surprised at his own reaction. There was no reason
that he should be shocked by her request. After having been thrown aside like a toy by Slade, what else
could he really expect from Ruby, but that the woman would be extra careful about the people, especially
the men, that she let into her heart? Taking Ruby's hands into his own, Jay said softly. "I promise, Ruby.
I really care for you. I love you, and will never use you, or leave you." Jay kissed Ruby a moment later.

That kiss was the beginning of a beautiful relationship. After that day, Jay and Ruby became inseparable.
Usually, wherever you found Jay, you usually found Ruby as well. As time went on, and everyone began
to get used to the fact that they were together, everything began to calm down. Though Ruby and Lottie
still argued constantly about Jay, the little girl was slowly beginning to accept that it was Jay that Ruby
loved, and not Slade anymore. Even though Lottie wasn't happy about it, she behaved, for Ruby's sake.

It was later that night, and Jay and Ruby lay in bed. They were talking about their pasts, and how Jay
still wanted to find Ved. Ruby knew that Jay loved his younger brother, and would do everything in his
power to try and find the younger man, and it made her smile. It made her a little jealous, as well. She
had told Jay about her older brother Blake, and how he had turned 18, just in time to be taken by the
virus, and how she had survived on her own, knowing her brother wouldn't have wanted her to give up.

Jay was surprised when Ruby began to cry. He took her into his arms, and hugged his girlfriend, knowing
that she missed her brother, just as much as he missed Ved. Pressing a kiss to Ruby's head, Jay said
softly. "Don't cry Ruby. Wherever your brother is, whether he is alive or dead, I know that he is thinking
of you, and missing you. Just know that Blake loves you, and if he could, would be here with you, on
the boat." Jay said softly, trying to soothe Ruby. He began to rub her back, wanting to ease the pain.

Ruby loved Jay. He always knew just what to say, to make her feel better. As Ruby thought about her
time with Jay, she smiled. He made her happy, happier then she'd ever been before. She silently made
a promise to herself, to hold onto Jay for as long as she possibly could. He loved her, and treated her
right. What more could any woman ask for? Ruby had almost everything she had ever wanted in her life.

Jay held onto Ruby. He never wanted to let her go. Even though they had been together for two years
now, every day he woke up, and saw Ruby lying next to him, it was like it was a miracle. Jay hoped
that Ruby knew just how much he loved her, and couldn't wait to begin having a family with her. Jay
also knew that when they did begin their family, Ruby would make a wonderful mother. He couldn't
wait.

The End.
