Hello everyone! Now, this is just your simple one shot fic, with my new ship from RWBY. I know that it's a little strange with Ozpin and all, but I find it rather endearing and hope that Oscar can eventually be alone again in his own body. I'm not a crazy shipper or anything, and I still like White Rose, but I'm leaning more in the Rosegarden direction after V5. This is set in a normal High School AU.

Oscar sat quietly behind the counter as he watched the hands of the clock on the wall tick on. Didn't my aunt say she would be back by three? Oscar wondered. Oh yeah, it's no big deal Oscar. Just watch the entire shop. I'm sure you'll be fine. I'll only be gone for an hour or so. His mocking voice rang out in his head.
Suddenly, the bell hanging from the door rang, and Oscar looked up. He froze. He had completely lost track of time, in his brooding. It was 3:30 on a Saturday.
"You know, Yang, just because Blake and Sun flirt doesn't mean you don't-" The young redhead looked up to make eye contact with Oscar, behind the counter.
Silver eyes met avocado. Oscar stared at her.
"Hi!" The girl said cheerfully. "Usually Mrs Pine is here, is she ok?"
"Uh. Yeah, she had to run out." Oscar stumbled over his words for a moment. "I'm her nephew. Here to help." He gestured awkwardly at the little slogan on his name tag. Oh god why did I say that?
"Oscar?" Ruby blinked at the name. "Do I know you?"
"Um, yeah. 2B?" Oscar gulped. "I mean, you don't know me know me, but we have some classes…" He trailed off awkwardly.
"That's right! I knew I'd seen you before!" Ruby snapped her fingers happily, finally figuring out just where exactly she'd seen him before. "You're that new transfer student! So what brings you to Minsteral, Oscar?"
"That's me." Oscar chuckled slightly as he began bagging cookies for her without thinking about it. "Work, mostly. My aunt runs this shop, but work wasn't so good back in the country, so we decided to come here."
"Um, Oscar?" Yang asked suddenly, interrupting his blushing and eye contact with Ruby.
"Huh? Yeah?" Oscar blinked and looked up at her.
"We didn't actually order yet."
"Oh!" Oscar scrambled to explain the fact that he's seen what they'd ordered every weekend since he'd got here, stowing away in the back and sneaking looks at her whenever he thought she wasn't looking. "You guys always order the same thing every Saturday. My aunt talks a lot about you. You're her most steady customers." He finished rather lamely.
Ruby smiled at him as he passed her the bag. "Thank you!"
"N-no Problem." Oscar stuttered over his words as Yang passed him the money. Oh god. Her smile.
"You think Uncle Crow will notice if one is missing?" Ruby looked at Yang hopefully.
"Not now Ruby. Come on, let's go." Yang narrowed her eyes at Oscar, and he gulped.
"Ruby, wait." His voice came out quieter than he wanted it to, and he was amazed that she had even heard him.
She turned back, looking slightly hopeful. "Yeah?"
"Here." Oscar ducked under the counter again, and came up holding one of their most popular items, the jumbo chocolate chunk cookie. "If you want one for the road, you can take this one." He tried to cover his blush even as she skipped over to him and gently took the cookie from his fingers, just barely brushing the tips of them before she drew back, her eyes as big as saucers.
"Thank you," She breathed out. He smiled at her, and she smiled back, until, Chomp! Oscar's eyes widened as she shoved almost the entire cookie in her mouth.
"Your aunt makes the best cookies." Her eyes fluttered closed in happiness, and Oscar couldn't help but blush. "How does she do it?"
"I, um, I helped her out with that batch." He looked at the floor awkwardly, rubbing the back of his head nervously.
"You made this!?" Ruby's jaw dropped.
"Um, yeah."
"This is amazing!" She turned to Yang. "We have to add these to our list for next week."
"I'll make a note." Oscar smirked slightly.
Yang rolled her eyes. "If you're gonna do it, Ruby, just do it."
"Oh yeah! I almost forgot!" Ruby bounded over to Oscar, kissed him on the cheek, and practically skipped out of the store, blushing.
Oscar felt his own face heat up as he looked in confusion at Yang.
"She hasn't been able to shut up about you. I'm surprised she was able to get through this." Yang commented dryly.
"But she didn't know me." Oscar looked confused.
"Of course she knew you! She's seen you here every Saturday at 3:30 since you guys moved here!" Yang laughed slightly at that, but then her expression became somber once more. "If you break my sister's heart, I will break your face." And with that joyful sentiment, Yang dropped a tip in the tip jar, a small piece of paper on the table, and sauntered away.
The moment she left the shop and Oscar heard the little bell ding, he scrambled over and opened the paper, smiling.

Moments later, walking down the street with Yang, Ruby felt her scroll vibrate. She looked down, opening it up.

Hey :)
With a grin, she texted back.
