"You okay?"
"Ya, *huff* just a bit out of breath"
Rolling of her side, Ruby turned to face Blake using her left hand to push herself upward against the wall. Placing her rifle on the ground before using her right hand to grab Blake's body to pull her closer in.
Blake's silently groaned as Ruby pulled her up, shift her weight from the left side of her body.
"So, come here often?" Ruby joked as she spooned the older girl. Forgetting all about the pain on her left side.
"Just on the weekends" responded Blake a smile appeared in her face before morphing into a frown as she took a closer look into Ruby's left side near her ribs. Moving her right hand towards the area, a sharped gasp escaped her partner's lips and Blake's eyes widen in realization.
"You've been shot!"
"So have you."
"In the leg not in my ribs!"
Smiling Ruby placed her hand on Blake's cheek, causing Blake to face her.
"I was waiting till her get back to states to tell you" Ruby shifted under vest as her hand pulled out a box.
"This wasn't the exact way I would want to proposes" handing the box to Blake. Blake took it with shaking hands, prying the box open a simple diamond lay inside. Tears line up of the edges of her eyes, here in the middle of the battlefield, and here with bullets flying around them. Her three year old girlfriend was proposing to her and that said girlfriend was currently having her lungs slowly being filled with her own blood.
Without a second thought Blake pulled her into a deep kiss till she started to taste blood. Pulling away she notice how pale Ruby became yet she stilled her stupid goofy beautiful smile plastered on her face as blood started to drip out of her mouth.
"Blake…I …Love you"
Holding her lover's hand in her own she smiled, a grim smile as she notice the tell tell signs of internal bleeding and certain death on her.
Ruby cough up more blood as she tried to speak.
"Take….re…f…ang…nd…iw..member…I…ove..o"
"I love you more Ruby"
"….."
"Ruby?!"
"RUBY!"
