All I Want for Christmas

Warm air blew through the dorm as Ruby sat upon her bed studying her notes. She had a cup of coffee in her right hand and a pencil in her left, the eraser pressed to her teeth as she thought long and hard about the problem she had been stuck on for at least 10 minutes now. With a sigh, she set the books down and glanced around the room, now holding the warm mug in both hands in an attempt to regain feeling in her cold fingers.

The room looked bland. The holiday season was right at their doorstep and the four residents hadn't even put so much as a jungle bell in their dorm yet. Ruby jumped from her bunk and landed firmly on the ground, not even spilling a drop of coffee. She let out a sigh of relief because she knew that if she had, Weiss would surely yell at her for staining their carpet. After setting the mug down, she walked towards the closet, remembering that Yang had brought a box from home with "X-mas decorations" scribbled across the side and top in Yang's messy handwriting.

"They'll be so surprised when they get back!" Ruby said aloud to herself as she pulled the box out from the closet and opened it up. Blake and Yang had gone into Emerald Forest to train for a while and Weiss had gone to talk to Pyrrha about something. Ruby had asked the heiress what it was but she only told her that it wasn't any of her business and walked out.

The scythe wielder sighed at the memory, but then smiled. Weiss made her happy, no matter how rude she was. Ruby couldn't quite figure out how she felt when Weiss was around, but she liked it. Weiss made her feel happy whenever she was around her, but the girl couldn't explain why.

Once Ruby opened the box, a feeling of nostalgia washed over her as she looked over all of the decorations that hadn't been seen in a year. She began pulling out all of the garland and mantelpieces and all of the little decorations that rest inside the box. Soon she began humming a song that had been in her head for a while.

I don't want a lot for Christmas, but there's just one thing I need.

The humming continued then soon the vocals were added in as the girl spun about the room placing various red flowers and silver and gold tinsel in different places.

"I just want you for my own, more than you could ever know. Make my wish come true!" She then heard the door open and she spun to face it, singing loudly.

"Baby, all I want for Christmas is you!" She sang loudly with a wide smile on her face. She opened her eyes and the smile turned into an awkward grin.

Weiss blinked, a bored expression on her face. "Dolt," she said as she rolled her eyes, though Ruby could swear she saw the corner of her lip turn upward when she passed the cloaked girl.
