A/N: Sooo… tiss the season now I guess. That means there will be around six Christmas chapters if I'm uploading two a week. It will be hard putting in our mysterious visitor here, but whatever. If it's for the fans it's worth it, right? Now before I go into some random tangent about something that makes no sense, the story…
'As if this place needed more lights' Weiss thought to herself. She was slightly startled as she felt two arms wrap around her waist. "What'cha thinkin' about, beautiful" Ruby said lovingly from behind her. This caused Weiss to blush and say "The fact that they added more lights to the school when it can pass off in itself as an oversized Christmas ornament" Ahh, Christmas. The most wonderful time of the year. Everyone was in high spirits and almost always smiling for one reason or another. "And can you not straddle me when we're out in the open?" She turned to look at her only for her heart to break at the face Ruby was making. "Nonono! I'm not saying that I don't enjoy it! It's just that we've only been dating for three days and I don't know how people will react" Weiss said, backpedaling. "But you said we could go public after a day or two, and I don't want to have to hide the way I feel anymore" That caught Weiss off guard. She had said that they would go public about it earlier than now and they still hadn't done it yet. "Fine… you're right, but how?" "I don't know. The only person I'm worried about is Yang. Although I think she'll take it better than normal since she's been getting friendly with that Ricky guy. Also Justin and Blake have been flirting, Liam's with Velvet and I think Pyrrah will be too busy deciding who to swoon over to notice. And I can imagine Ren and Nora being very open minded people" Ruby exclaimed, slowly getting happier as time went on. "Well it's almost lunch time and everyone will be in the caf. Why not now" Weiss suggested. "Really?! WOW! Let's not waste any time" Ruby shouted, yanking Weiss along by her arm and smiling wide. "Ow ow ow! Ruby I can walk you know"
They entered the cafeteria and both started to get butterflies, but they pressed on none the less. They sat down across from the remainder of team RWBY and in the middle of teams JNPR and JRLD. Ruby spoke up first, drawing everyone's attention away from their previous conversation. "Ahem! Uh, hello, everyone. Me and Weiss have an important, uh, announcement to, um, make" Weiss stepped in to help her girlfriend. "I got this. Me and Ruby have been dating for the past few days" Everyone remained silent trying to process this information until Yang just burst out laughing. Everyone looked at her with very quizzical looks. "What? You don't think she's serious, do you? My sister and the ice queen! No way" "We're not kidding, Yang!" Weiss spat. "Oh really!? Prove it" Without a second thought, Weiss grabbed Ruby by the collar and pulled her into a kiss which shut Yang up. It was more powerful than their usual kisses, but not powerful enough to make people grossed out. Yang spoke up quietly and apologetically "I'm sorry I didn't, err, believe you and hope that you guys stay together and be, um, happy and junk" "Thank you Yang" Ruby said kindly. "Yeah! Don't you let society tell you what to think and what to feel!" Liam exclaimed. "You know that better than anyone, dating me and such" Velvet said, snuggling up to him. "I think I can say on behalf of team JNPR that we're happy for you and wish you the best" Jaune stated. "Same thing for the rest of team JRLD" Justin added. Blake gave the pair an acknowledging nod and went back to her book. "Thank you all, it means a lot" Ruby said, putting her head in the crook of Weiss's neck. The moment would have been perfect if it weren't for team CDNL who had been listening the whole time.
"First you start dating faunus and you have two lesbians! You guys are a bunch'a freaks!" Cardin shouted causing a laugh from his team members. Justin looked at Liam and gave him a nod as they both stood up. These two would be fighting for the faunus girls. The same girls who were going to get up and help before the two boys stopped them. "We got this" Liam said reassuringly. Following the two boys lead, Yang and Ruby got up to help. The other two didn't stop them. They had their own motives. Yang was fighting for her sister and Ruby was fighting for Weiss. Seeing this, team CRDL got up to meet them. Noticing Justin, Cardin spoke up. "What do you want Hope-Wyllie? I understand who they're defending…" He said, gesturing towards the other three. "…but what do you gain out of this" "Maybe I'm just helping my friends" Justin returned, angrily. "Nah nah nah, I see determination in your eyes. You want something out of this. You want to impress someone, don't you? Who then? Blondie, bunny ears, the hammer maniac, the Spartan, the book worm…?" At this Justin's face got angrier, and that didn't go unnoticed by Cardin. "Ooohh! I see how it is. You have a thing for the faunus trash" This comment surprised everyone. "Oh! Did you think a hoodie he lent you would cover those ears of yours? Everyone has known for days! But back to you this cat-eared, antisocial, filthy faunus bitch…!" Justin had had enough. With one fluid motion he landed a right cross right into Cardin's jaw. He was only able to land two more blows before Russel grabbed him from behind locking his arms in place while Cardin punched him multiple times in the gut. That didn't last long as Liam, Ruby and Yang joined the fight. Liam and Ruby took to fighting the two who were away from Justin, while Yang ripped Russel of Justin's back and launched him into an empty table. Justin was trying to regain his wind while Cardin was fighting Yang. He looked over to see Yang's gauntlets out and Cardin swinging his mace. Everyone else was still fighting with fists. Surprisingly, Cardin was able to get the upper hand on Yang by knocking her hands back and send her flying into the wall with a thud. Ricky ran over to her to see if she was alright. He couldn't tell from the table because the fire in Yang's hair went out when she hit the wall. Justin reached for his weapon only to realize he left it in his dorm room. "DUSTIN!" He called, knowing his brother always had his weapons on him because they were light and easy to conceal. "CATCH!" Was his only response before chucking a handgun at him. Not having much experience with this type of firearm, he switched the pistol into a medium sized knife and charged at the knight.
Ruby finished dispatching Sky, leaving him with a broken wrist and most likely a concussion. As she looked to her left she saw Dove beating Liam's face into the ground. It was obvious that Liam was already unconscious at this point; Dove was running on pure adrenaline. But that meant that it left him uncoordinated and vulnerable. She rushed over and dislocated his jaw in one punch and he was out. She looked over to see Justin and Cardin trading blows until Justin countered on of his swings and stabbed him in the leg with the blade. Cardin screamed in pain as Justin landed one last punch into the side of his head, causing him to lie almost motionless on the ground. Their victory was short lived, as professor Goodwitch showed up and screamed "MISTER HOPE-WYLLIE AND MISS ROSE, IN MY OFFICE, NOW!" Justin and Ruby slowly walked out of the cafeteria, partly because of the trouble they were in and partly because of their injuries. "As for the six unconscious students, you four, you and you…!" She pointed at team JNPR, Ricky and Velvet "… will carry them to the infirmary! DO I MAKE MYSELF CLEAR?" "Yes miss Goodwitch" They answered back. "Good! Everyone else is dismissed!" She called into the crowd that had formed to watch the fight.
The remaining three group members who were not called to help clean up the mess went to go see if they could catch Ruby and Justin before they went in, but they were far too late. They waited around five minutes until Ruby finally emerged from the room and was wrapped into a hug by Weiss. "Owowow! Weiss! I'm really sore right now! A little lighter please" Weiss just loosened her grip and said nothing. "What happened?" Dustin asked in his usual "make it quick" voice. "I got off with self-defence, but your brother's getting the business in there. They're talking about stuff like assault and maiming and crap! It's bullshit! He was only sticking up for…" Ruby trailed off. "For me" Blake finished. "Ya. He's…" Ruby started before Justin dragged himself out of the office. "Hey, man" Dustin greeted. "Hey. Can I ask you a favour? Can you go check up on Ricky for me?" Justin asked. "Why me?" Dustin returned. "Because he's your second cousin, Dustin" "Fine. I'll see you there in a bit then?" Dustin asked. "Ya, just give me a minute" And with that, Dustin walked off.
Justin turned to Blake and said "Hey, I'm really sorry I got your secret out. It was a stupid idea and, MMZZZ…" Justin was unable to finish his apology because Blake had wrapped her arms around him and pressed her lips to his. When they broke apart he tried to keep a calm demeanour while his mind raced with thoughts such as 'IT WAS ALL WORTH IT! THE INJURIES AND WHATEVER PUNISHMENT I GET IS ALL WORTH IT!' In quite the contrast to his mind, Justin spoke very softly. "I'll take that as you forgive me" Blake just smiled. "Cool, so… should we head to the infirmary? Because I might have a concussion and I really don't want to forget that" Blake nodded and supported the injured boy to the hospital wing.
