A Ladybugs Life Chapter 10, a rwby fanfic

A/N: If you read any of my other fics please read the A/N at the bottom.

It had been a week since Ruby and Blake had started dating and the pair were starting to get out of the 'awkward new couple' stage. Ruby didn't feel as embarrassed about kissing Blake when people were around though the kisses were only chaste kisses on the lips and Blake was becoming more comfortable having Ruby sit in her lap when the pair were together back at the Rose-Xiao long home.

Currently it was Christmas Eve and the Rose-Xiao long house was shining brightly. The trio had decorated the inside and outside of the of the house with lights, tinsel, a large christmas tree in the living room and a wreath on the front door.

Currently the new couple were lying together on one of the recliners with Ruby resting her head on Blake's shoulder.

Summer had started a few traditions for Christmas that the girls continued after she had passed away. One of those traditions was the girls baked two plates of cookies. One with red food dye mixed into the batter and one with yellow. Currently Yang was baking a third set that had purple food dye mixed in for Blake.

Once the cookies were finished Yang walked into the living room, balancing all three plates on her arms. In the living room she found that Ruby had fallen asleep on Blake and was quietly snoring, much to her girlfriends amusement.

"Hey Blakey watch this." Yang whispered, placing down the plates on the coffee table, grabbing a red cookie from Ruby's plate.

Yang slowly walked over towards the couple and held the cookie out just under Ruby's nose. After a few moments of silence Ruby raised her head and started biting at the air towards the cookie.

As she started moving towards the edge of the recliner, Yang put her hand on Ruby's forehead to stop her from falling off before shaking her lightly to wake her up.

As Ruby slowly woke up she could hear Blake giggling behind her and Yang loudly laughing in front of her. Once her eyes opened she could see Yang standing in front of her with a cookie in her hand. Seeing the cookie in Yang's hand caused a deep red blush to spread across her cheeks.

"Yang." Ruby whined as she moved to place her face into the crook of Blake's neck, knowing exactly what had just happened.

Yang just continued to laugh as she walked back towards the kitchen.

"You know that was really cute." Blake whispered to Ruby as she kissed the top of her head.

Ruby continued to bury herself into the crook of Blake's neck until Yang returned with three glasses filled with milk.

Ruby shuffled back down to lay next to Blake, resting her head on Blake's shoulder, as the trio started watching movies, waiting for the sun to start setting.

As the sun started to set, Ruby and Yang dragged Blake out of the house and started walking down the pass towards Summers gravestone.

"Yang where are we going?" Blake asked as she sped up to keep pace with Yang.

"Every year our family goes and spend some time with Mum before we go home and give out presents." Yang said looking over her shoulder at Ruby.

"Ok but you said your family goes so why bring me?" Blake asked now confused as to why she was brought along for such a special occasion to Yang and Ruby.

"Because you're family." Yang replied still taking glances over her shoulder. "Listen Blake I need you to be with Ruby for this. She's always sad after we visit Summer."

"Of course." Blake replied as she slowed down to keep pace with Ruby.

Blake wrapped her arm around Ruby's shoulders as they continued to walk.

Once they reached the cliff, Blake and Ruby approached the gravestone and sat in front of it.

"Hey mum" Ruby said to the gravestone "Merry Christmas. This is Blake she's my girlfriend. You saw her last time we were here."

"Hello Mrs Rose." Blake said without a moment's thought.

"Dad and uncle Qrow are on a mission so they can't be here for Christmas but Yang and Blake helped me decorate the tree and Yang made the different coloured cookies for all of us too. My partner Weiss is coming over for the new year so I'll bring her to meet you when she gets here." Ruby informed her mother before standing up.

"I love you Mum." Ruby said before walking away with Blake.

After the pair were far enough away from the gravestone and Yang, who was now talking to Summer, Ruby stopped walking and hugged Blake.

"Thank you Blake." Ruby said, still hugging Blake, as tears started forming in her eyes.

"Anytime Ruby." Blake said as she continued to hug Ruby.

After Yang was finished the trio walked back to the house to open the presents they bought each other.

Once inside, Blake and Ruby went and sat on the couch with Ruby in the middle so Yang could sit on her other side.

Yang walked over to the tree and started taking presents and placing them on the coffee table.

Before the girls went to there respective homes for the break they agreed to buy each other a present. They set a limit of fifty lien each so that Weiss could not go overboard on presents.

The presents were wrapped in each person's respective colour as to show who each present was for.

"So as you're the guest Blake you get to go first." Yang said as she handed Blake the first purple wrapped object.

Blake slowly removed the wrapping paper to find a book and a tin can inside. Blake flipped the book over to see the title of the book before a blush spread across her cheeks. Yang had bought her Ninjas of Love: Love in the shadows. Blake moved the book to the sid to see that the tin can was a can of tuna.

"Thanks Yang." Blake said, the blush still evident on her face.

"No worries Blakey. Just don't get any ideas" Yang said, winking at Blake causing the blush to deepen as Ruby looked around confused.

"Open mine Blake." Ruby said as she bounced up and down in her seat.

Blake grabbed the other purple box on the table. The box was much smaller than a book piquing Blake's curiosity. As she unwrapped the small box she saw that her initials engraved on top of a small metal box. Blake lifted the lid to find a small pendant shaped like Ruby's symbol but black instead of the usual red colour. There were small ladybugs on some of the petals as well.

"I made it for you. It represents us." Ruby stated cheerily as she looked at Blake.

Ruby helped Blake with the clip so she could wear the pendant.

"Thank you Ruby it's beautiful." Blake said, looking at the pendant she was now wearing.

"There's more in there. Look." Ruby said as she pulled out another object from the small box. The object was a small cat made out of metal. The cat was about the same size as the pendant and completely black except for its eyes which were gold.

Blake placed the small black cat back in the box before turning to Ruby and giving her a big hug.

"Ok Rubes you can open yours now." Yang said before Ruby bolted for the first red box.

As she tore through the wrapping paper Ruby found a box similar to the one she made Blake except this looked like it had come from an expensive jewellery store. Inside Ruby found a locket made in the shape of her symbol. As she flipped it over the other side had the same symbol but in white instead of red. Yang lent over and pressed a small button at the top of the locket which caused it to open. Inside was a photo of Ruby when she was brought home from the hospital. In the photo Summer was holding the newly born girl in her arms.

"H-How?" Ruby asked, nearly in tears.

"The Ice Queen owed me a favour." Yang replied before being tackled by Ruby in a hug.

After a few moments Ruby calmed down enough to open the other present.

Inside was a black silk ribbon and a book of fairy tales. Ruby had mentioned that her mother use to read stories from this book when she was younger but the book got damaged one day and they couldn't find a replacement.

"I know it's not as nice as the pendant but I remember you mentioning the book one day and i found a copy before we left Beacon and the was because you said you liked my bow when we first met so I got you one." Blake nervously said, embarrassed by what she had gotten Ruby after Ruby made the pendant and cat.

"I love them Blake." Ruby said as she tied the black ribbon onto her forearm in a similar style to Blake's forearm wrappings. Once it was tied she turned towards Blake and hugged her.

"Ok Yang open yours." Ruby said, smiling at her sister.

Yang reached for the bigger of the two boxes before tearing off the wrapping paper. The box was about the size of a shoe box and inside was various hair care products.

"Hopefully they will help with your morning routine." Blake said jokingly

"Nothing will help that routine." Ruby said, going along with the joke.

"Ha ha you two." Yang said, acting offended but smiling the entire time. "Thanks Blakey."

"No problem Yang." Blake replied as Yang grabbed Ruby's present.

After ripping off the wrapping paper, Yang saw two handmade photo frames. One frame had Yang's burning heart symbol in the top right and bottom left corners of the frame and Ruby's scatter rose symbol in the top left and bottom right. In between the two symbols at the bottom were the words 'best sister ever'. The photo was of a young Yang and Ruby together that their father took after a day out as a family.

The other frame had a letter of RWBY in each corner. In between the B and Y in the corners were the words 'our family' engraved. The photo was of team RWBY after their first day as a team.

"Awww thanks Rubes." Yang cooed before crushing Ruby in one of her deathly bear hugs.

"Y-Yang c-cant breathe." Ruby wheezed, trying to get out of the hug.

After Yang released Ruby the trio laughed and continued watching movies for the rest of the night.

Before they all went went to bed Yang stopped Blake at the bottom of the stairs.

"So I figure I better say this before you get it from Dad or Qrow. So I'm very happy you and Ruby have gotten together but if you ever force her to do something she is uncomfortable with or hurt my baby sister in any way they will never find your body out here ok." Yang said as her eyes glowed red.

Blake was far too nervous to reply with words so she just nodded, frozen to the floor.

"Ok night Blakey." Yang said as she started running up the stairs. "Oh if you two decide to sleep in the same bed together I don't mind but don't try anything." Yang called from halfway up the stairs causing a blush to appear on Blakes face.

Blake walked into the room she was sharing with Ruby slightly frazzled after her conversation with Yang, something Ruby noticed immediately.

"Blake are you ok?" Ruby asked, worried for her girlfriend.

"Y-Yeah I just had a talk with Yang. Blake replied as she walked towards her bed.

"Come here." Ruby said as she patted a spot on her bed.

Blake slowly walked over to Ruby's bed and sat down. Once Blake was on the bed Ruby wrapped her arms around Blake and laid her down with her in bed. The pair fell asleep like this, dreaming about one another.

So I've been dealing with some stuff in my life this week so my other fics like Our Dreams Become Nightmares and When Your World Falls Apart will be a lot slower to update. This fic will still be a weekly update because i'm a few chapters ahead but i apologise for the delays on the others.

And that's the Christmas chapter. So writing the part with Ruby and Blake at Summers grave was really hard for me (I actually had tears in my eyes) So we probably won't be seeing another scene like that for a bit.

Hopefully you all liked the ideas for the presents and Weiss will be getting/giving out hers next episode.

As always if you enjoyed, hated, have constructive criticism or have a question please leave a review or pm me so I can make this story and any future stories I write better. Thanks for reading.
