Notes and Disclaimers: Honestly, I felt bad on not answering a fan's request, though I am not going to announce any spoilers for [RWBY: Best Friends to Best Foes] I will try and make everyone happy… But this Fic will be a Ruby x Yang and I'll possibly make a Ruby x Blake and so on… later though, but this one will come first, plus who doesn't like a little sisterly love ;)
Ruby's Birthday!
Snow paints the emerald forest white, the sky was clear and blue and two moons were visible, today marks the first year that team RWBY has been together and Ruby's 16th birthday. Today was perfect, the climate was perfect and nothing looked out of place… except she was cold… really cold.
It was early in the morning, two AM approximately, so Ruby looked around the room, the three others were still asleep but neither the less she was excited, today was her birthday and she couldn't wait to celebrate it with her team, she heard that they all brought presents for her and Ren was making a chocolate cake… though she was still cold… damn snow.
Then she had an idea, she was sure Yang wouldn't mind if she snuck in her bed, she was always warm but that wasn't always the reason… you see, Ruby has a secret that she had been keeping away from Yang, wait… actually the whole world, for a while now… you see she actually has feelings for her sister, not the sister feelings… but much more, she loves Yang, more than a sister, but she doesn't have the courage to tell her that.
Sneaking into Yang's bed, Ruby instantly felt warmer. Yang was still asleep but oddly enough, out of some natural instinct Yang wrapped her arms around her sister, successfully putting her into a warm cuddle. Ruby blushed a bit, but she knew this was normal, Yang always cuddled as she slept away and honestly, Ruby didn't mind in fact she actually encouraged it and closing her eyes whilst smiling, she soon fell into a warm sleep.
Yang felt something warm… something soft and the slight scent of roses, shifting whatever that thing was closer and into a more comfortable position while muttering something she guessed it was just a pillow but nuzzling her nose against it, she noticed it was a lot harder than a pillow…
Opening her eyes instantly she almost screamed but she soon noticed it was Ruby, oh how adorable she looked asleep. Then Yang remembered… it was Ruby's birthday today and she had indeed forgotten Ruby's birthday present. Groaning at herself, she attempted to get out of bed, but was met with growls and the sudden movement of Ruby's hand pulling Yang's back into place.
Yang couldn't help but submit to Ruby's adorableness as she watched her sister sleep, she looked beautiful and so calm, plus it was Saturday and Yang's still drowsy from her sleep, so she honestly wanted to get back to sleep. "Ruby as always…" She mutters under her breath then closing her eyes, she soon fell into a deep slumber.
Noon soon loomed over team RWBY as they slept in, school was off for the weekend and all hunting operations were halted for a time, well till the snow cleared anyways, so team RWBY had nothing to do all day, but they were all hyped for Ruby's birthday and honestly Blake and Weiss had the perfect gift for her, Blake bought her one of Ruby's childhood books with addition some new clothing and a brand new headset.
Weiss on the other hand, one of Ruby's now closest friends and also sister in a way, brought her a beautiful bracelet with some of Vytal's finest weapon mods designed specifically for scythe wielders and also a new enchanted bolt receiver what was imbued with all the elements, oh it also had a custom paintjob to it and engraved in it; Your partner and friend, Weiss Schnee, to the darkness we go and to the light we find, I'll always be by your side.
Yang… she may of forgotten Ruby's birthday but she'll have to cook something up, she would hate to get Ruby a late birthday gift… but thinking about it, it's not like she would really have a choice… so as she sat there awake, while Ruby cuddled her, she could only think, what would her sister want? She knew she loved weapons and what not, but Weiss already took that idea and Blake took the idea of books and clothes, also the headset… What could Ruby Rose always desire?
The question lingered in her head for some time; she felt bad… seeing the huge box Weiss had shipped to her for Ruby's birthday and Blake's simple yet effective smaller presents… Was she the only one who came unprepared? How could she forget her sister's birthday? She honestly felt frustrated at this moment, but determine to find the perfect gift for Ruby… what hasn't been taken, so she just laid there, thinking whilst her sister held her tight.
Ruby had her right arm over Yang's body; she was in a very comfortable position. Yang however was fully awake and was just reading away as she let her sister sleep, she honestly felt warm and comfortable, the two others in the room were just preparing for Ruby's birthday like music and what not, all the basic preparations, All of team JNPR and even Sun and Penny were invited, this would be the best birthday party ever.
Ruby slowly opened her eyes, she let out a long yawn as she could smell Ren baking the chocolate cake, but she still felt very warm and she didn't want to get out of Yang's bead, surprisingly Yang was reading, odd Ruby never thought that Yang would want to read books… wait, taking a closer inspection, she realised that it was a clothes and Bikes magazine, typical Yang…
Yang realised her sister had arose from her sleep and she couldn't help but pull her sister into a warm light hug, she was happy… happy to see Ruby turning into a young adult and not the child she once knew, though she still acted like she was 12 years old at times, but that was totally adorable and so Ruby, "Happy birthday baby sis! And Good morning… wait afternoon… Heh..." Yang exclaimed as she pulled away, letting Ruby go.
Ruby blinked multiple times upon realising what her sister just said… "Wait what time is it!?" she gasped upon realising she had something to do with Blake in the mornings.
"Um… One PM… something up baby sis?"
Ruby's face went blank as she heard her sisters answer and in frustration she let herself fall onto the bed, "AHH! Blake's going to kill me! Ohmahgawd I'm so stupid!"
Blake overheard the two as she was putting up decorations and helping Weiss wire the sound system. "Ruby its okay, Weiss was nice enough to help me with it, plus you looked cute while you were dozing away in your sleep, so we didn't bother waking you."
Ruby blushed a bit knowing her team mates actually watched her as she slept… though she just took it as a compliment, like anyone would expect Ruby had a thing for her sister… she only hoped no one noticed that she was actually trying to get closer to Yang over the past few months… like as in sleeping with her more often then she would and well just doing anything really… just to get her attention that is.
Hiding her embarrassment, Ruby quickly hopped out of Yang's bed and headed into the shower, she had a long hot shower, she felt wonderful as she let the hot water soothe her tense muscles, but after about half an hour she stepped out and got dressed in her casual wear, though it was lacking combat gear, just the everyday wear, nothing special.
As she walked out, her hair was slightly wet but all of Team JNPR with Penny and Sun were there, all of them said "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" at the same time, while a few of them threw some confetti into the air and in the middle of the room was a freshly cooked chocolate cake, it was still warm and it smelt wonderful, Ruby also very happy and they all started to sing together, Weiss was actually a really good singer to Ruby's surprise.
Weiss's voice was of those of the Angels, also Blake and Yang Sang with her, it looks like they had written a song just for Ruby's 16th and honestly Ruby was taken away by how well the three sounded together… this was really the perfect birthday present Ruby could ever ask for… though she was extremely embarrassed as the three sang about her, though it was the good embarrassment…
As soon as the three finished, everyone in the room applaud them, Ruby had a tear of happiness drop from her eye as she hugged the three. "You guys are seriously the best sisters I have…"
"Ruby, you still need to blow out the candles." Weiss pointed out.
This time everyone started to sing happy birthday to Ruby as she stood in front of the cake ready to blow out the candles, blushing slightly as she listened to them finish, she took a deep breath and blew out the candles… but they just relit… What? She blew them out again… same result… "Trick candles really?"
The three giggled, but Ruby eventually blew them out, took for ever though, but Ruby immediately picked up the large long box, with the name tag "Ruby Rose, From Weiss Schnee" on it, she tore the wrapping off and opened it, inside was a beautiful red and Black bolt assembly with the receiver and customized dust barrel, oh and engraved on it made Ruby's chest feel warm, "Ohmahgawd! IS THAT A COSTOMIED HIGH IMPACT BOLT RECIVER!?" She exclaimed out of enjoyment and shock, Weiss nodded her head and smiled, the next box was a diamond and gold bracelet, it looked beautiful and this was Weiss's sign of friendship… "Weiss… this is perfect… though how much did it all cost you?"
"Never mind about that, just enjoy them…" she said calmly smiling, her icy tone wasn't present here and it felt nice.
The next was several smaller boxes, the first box she unwrapped contained the headset, the one that Ruby always wanted, she was surprised that Blake would buy them for her, though her gift wasn't as expensive, for understandable reasons, they were nice neither the less, but the last box she unwrapped, was the same book that Yang read to her while she was young, "OH MY GOD! I HAVN'T READ THIS IN FOR EVER!" she gasped, as she read the books title.
"Well… Yang told me a few things… plus it was in my collection." Blake explained in her always so calm voice.
Huh… where was Yang's presents… they must have been coming, Ruby thought but she decided to shrug it off and play around with her new toys, but she'll toy with them later, she wanted to talk to Yang. Soon that while the music was playing, Ruby sat herself next to her sister, attempting to get closer and what not, "Hey Yang, can ya tell me what you got for my birthday or at least give me a hint?" Ruby asked while giving Yang a cute smile.
Yang didn't know what to say, she didn't have anything at this moment and honestly she didn't want to lie to her sister but she didn't have a choice… "Huh? Oh… Maybe, but I'll keep that a secret… for now." She teased while giving her sister a wink, but deep down she was yelling at herself for lying to her sister. I'm so going to hell for this…
Ruby can't keep it secret for any longer, she had to do something or at least try... because if she did it now, it'll hurt less if she got rejected earlier then later… "Oh… alright then… hey sis can we go outside for a bit?"
"Alright, lead the way lil sis."
By the time Ruby and Yang made it to the courtyard of the school Ruby was breathing heavily and her heart beat was though the roof as she thought of her next actions very, very carefully… "Hey Yang… do you love me…?"
Yang raised an eyebrow at her sister's question, what was she thinking? This was an extremely odd question… "Ruby… what kind of question is that? And you know the answer to that, of course I do!"
Ruby took a deep breath as she picked out her words… Okay, now ask her already! Her mind shouted at her, but Ruby was scared… scared that she'll lose her sister and crush if she asked… "Would you ever hate me…?"
Even more confused than before, Yang looked at her sister with a strange look, signalling that she was very confused. "Um… well not in less you shave me bald in my sleep… but other than that, I don't think I can ever bring myself to hate you."
Alright, now tell her already you dunce, otherwise she'll take this the wrong way and hate you anyway! Ruby didn't know what to say nor did she know what to do because at this moment she didn't know if she could bring herself to tell Yang her feelings towards her… "Yang… I… I love you… I love you so much… I know you may think of me as a sister but I want much more… for the both of us… Yang… you have no idea how long I've been waiting to tell you this… but I'm in love with you…"
Yang was speechless to hear her sister's confession, she had no idea Ruby had these feelings for her… Yang noticed slight changes in Ruby behaviour towards her ever since what happen at the port, she had been getting sleeping with her more and Blake keeps telling her that she keeps looking at her strange… but now… she knew those rumours were all true, Ruby had in fact had a crush on her sister.
Yang sighs, she never has told anyone this but she did have a crush on Ruby at one point, back in Signal though. Thinking back to those moments, she smiled upon coming to realisation that she could be in fact happy with Ruby for a long time, giving her sister a smile and nodding her head, she leaned forward and pressed her lips against Ruby's then pulling away for a second. "Ruby, I love you too…"
Ruby's instantly lightened up with delight, she was beyond filled with joy and hearing Yang say that… It only brought tears of joy to Ruby's eyes. "Yang… you have no idea how long I've been waiting for you to say that…"
Yang sighed before continuing with her next confession; Ruby had to know otherwise she'll feel horrible for lying to her. "Well I have one confession to make though and you'll probably be mad at me for it…"
Wondering what she meant, all Ruby could do was raise an eyebrow, what could it be? "What could it be? I don't think I would ever hate you."
"Heh… well you know how you didn't see a birthday present from me? Well… I kind of um… how you say forgot… I'm sorry! But I promise I'll make it up to you later! Just don't hate me…" Yang said in quick succession, she slightly panicked as she saw Ruby's smile turn into upside down… she looked so sad… but then she rolled her eyes and that smile came back.
"Yang you know… this is the best birthday present I could ever have, if you love me, well that there alone is enough, you love is priceless."
Sighing in relief, she notices they should probably head back inside before both of them catch a cold. "Ruby… that's so sweet… but I really think we shouldn't keep Bookworm and Snow Angel waiting, they're probably wondering where we are."
Nodding in agreement, Ruby started following her sister back to the school but she couldn't help but think…
Best… Birthday party… ever!
