"Soooo!" Yang was almost jumping up and down, which made Ruby more than irritated. Her sister never did that unless a teasing was coming.
"What do you know and who told you?" Ruby sighed.
"Relax, sis!" Yang laughed, "I just wanted to know how your first mission went… with Oscar?!" Ruby could already feel her face heating up. She knew it would only be a few seconds before her cheeks were as red as a tomato.
"It was fine," she said, trying to remain calm. Yang knew something. She had heard something from someone, or else she wouldn't be asking. But Ruby hadn't told anyone about the kiss. Not even Weiss! Or Blake!
"Come oooonnnn! Nothing exciting happened?" Yang was beaming.
"No, it was a normal… everyday… search and destroy…" She was losing a battle she never had a chance at. Yang, somehow, already knew. "It was just a normal mission. It's all in my report."
"But, how was Oscar?! You gotta give me the juicy details—" The door bell interrupted the blonde and Ruby breathed a sigh of relief. Saved by the bell…
"I'll get it!" She laughed, jumping towards the front door. She swung it open to reveal the man of the hour: Oscar Pine. He looked a little flustered, hands behind his back. When he saw her expression he hesitated.
"Umm… is this a bad time?" He asked.
"Yes!" Ruby gasped.
"No!" Yang shouted from behind her.
"Augh!" Ruby quickly stepped out of the house, shutting the door quickly behind her. "What are you doing here?" She didn't mean it to sound so cruel. She could see Oscar visibly losing confidence.
"I… um…" He sighed, "You… uh… remember the conversation we had… after… I mean… after the mission…" He trailed off, "Oh, I'm useless at this."
"Useless at…?" He pulled his hands out from behind his back a revealed a bouquet of sunflowers.
"Would you… go on a date with me?" For a moment Ruby was frozen and then she was beaming.
"Yes, I'd love to!" She took the flowers from his hands and then pulled him in a tight hug, standing on her tip-toes to wrap her arms around his shoulders. When the pulled away, she gave him a quick kiss on the cheek and his whole face turned scarlet again. She glanced over at the front door just in time to see Yang duck back behind the curtains of the front window.
"You should probably come inside," Ruby sighed, taking his hand. "My dad's going to want to meet you and… uh… Yang's going to have some terribly embarrassing things to say... probably."
"Embarrassing things…?" Oscar frowned. Ruby was too giddy to really care about Yang's teasing anymore.
"It doesn't matter," she smiled, leading him through the front door, and holding tightly to the beautiful flowers. "I have to put these in water."
