Ren is severely injured on a mission and we see Nora at Ren's side on his hospital bed for the second day in a row.

Ren is laying in his bed, his chest covered in bandages. His left leg is broken. His right arm is broken. His back is broken. He has been laying in this bed, unconscious for two days. Nora hasn't left his side since he got there. The doctors told her he'd be better, that he'd be able to hunt once he was healed. That they would call once he woke up.

"Nora, Ren's gonna be ok." Jaune said to her via text "You need to come back to Beacon."

"Jaune, you of people should know how much I care about Ren" She texted back. "I don't care what happens to my grades, I'm not gonna leave him behind."

She didn't care. She was going to stay by his side no matter what.

She swore to Oum that once he woke up...She'd confess her feelings of love for him. That she would protect him and never leave his side.

"Ren, I don't know if you can hear me." She whispered into his ear. "But when you wake up, I have something important to tell you."

She started to cry

"Ren, please, I'm begging you, please." She whispered in his ear as tears fell down her cheeks. " I'm begging you to wake up" She couldn't hold back the tears, her eyes grew. "Please Ren, I can't go on without you. I need you, please." She cried as she fell to her knees and repeated the phrase " I need you" over and over.

She heard faint breathing

Ren's chest was rising and falling

His eyes opened slowly

"N...Nora?" He said with a weak voice as he was dehydrated.

"Ren?" Nora said as she tried to hold her tears back " I… I have something important to tell you."

This was it

She was going to say three words that would change everything

"I love you" She said as she look him dead in the eyes.

"Lie Ren, I love you with every fiber of my being." She said

"Nora…" Ren said weakly as he reached for her cheek to wipe her tears from her face. "Nora Valkyrie, I love you too. I've always loved you." Nora's eyes widened as her tears of sadness turned to tears of happiness. Ren used every ounce of strength to get himself upwards. He then touched her forehead with his. "Nora, let's be together together...forever."

"Ren, I…" Nora was cut off by something that she'd lie awake thinking about most nights at Beacon.

Nora thought she was dreaming. His lips were on hers. He was holding her cheek and wiping tears away with his thumb.

His eyes were closed as his lips remained on hers. She leaned into his kiss.

He wrapped his arms around her. She did the same to him.

They took comfort in each other's embrace.

When Ren left the hospital, the two went back to Beacon together. Knowing that they were determined to stay with each other.

Together together.
