I do not own KHR or RWBY. Everything belongs to their respected owners.
Blake was completely shocked at the sudden proposal that the entire mansion actually was extremely silent for a few minutes. Most of her body just shut down with surprise. She continued to stare down towards Tsuna and the ring that he presented to her. On the ground, the boy continued to wait patiently for Blake's response, but had a worried look when she didn't answer for a very long time.
Feeling her hand being gently shaken, she snapped out of her stupor and saw Tsuna was the one who was touching her. "Blake, are you alright?" He asked her with concern in his tone and expression.
"W-well… I…. um…" Blake did her best to find the right words, but nothing was able to come to her mouth. It was just… all so sudden. "I… I'm extremely happy that you did this but… too early… uhh… I… I need some time to think about it."
With those words, Blake stood up off of her chair slowly. She could now feel many eyes on her as she began to walk away at an awkward and sluggish pace. She felt a familiar feeling of guilt as she left Tsuna on his knee while still holding out the ring.
"A…Ahem." Tsuna coughed into his hand to try and regain everybody's attention and the peace. "How about we all gather around the table for dinner? I'm sure that we're all hungry." He suggested.
"Tsuna's right. It isn't Christmas without the feast." Yamamoto added, getting more murmurs out of the crowd of people.
Blake heard this and slowly followed everyone to the dining room where multiple tables were sitting with shining cutlery that was recently polished in front of neatly placed chairs. A chandelier hung above the entire décor of the room, illuminating the boxed place with a majestic light. Multiple servants stood around the walls of the room, waiting for the others to be seated so that they may be able to portion and serve the delicious food the chefs had cooked for them.
Blake followed in suit like everyone else to their own seats. As she approached her own chair, she realized that her spot was right next to Tsuna . Her eyes widened as she had forgotten that she wanted to be close to him during such a special evening but now wanted some space away from him.
As Tsuna seated himself, he noticed Blake's hesitation. Confused at first, his own eyes widened with remembrance of the chair plans. Looking over towards another table, he saw a group of people seating themselves and he walked over towards them.
Blake saw this as well as Tsuna conversing with the occupants. With a nod of their heads, a boy dropped out of his seat and began to walk over to where Blake was still standing with hesitation. Recognizing the boy as Fuuta, she only continued to stay in her straight-legged position as the two males approached closer.
"Umm, Blake… If you want, you can sit at the table over there." Tsuna offered, gesturing to the empty seat the child was in before.
Looking down at the boy before looking at Tsuna, Blake nodded slowly before making her new trip towards her new table. There she recognized a couple of people she was definitely familiar with due to her life in the mansion for a couple of months.
First, there was Kyoko Sasagawa. Thanks to her brother Ryohei, and offers from Tsuna, she was living in the mansion and aided the servants to their chores until she could find her dream job or choose to move out. She was also a crush Tsuna had but was toned down when she just saw the two of them as friends.
Next was Haru Miura. This girl was someone who had a crush on Tsuna, but stopped when she saw that Tsuna wasn't able to return her feelings. That at least didn't stop her from being determined to be his friend though at least. Haru also stayed in the mansion as she followed the same mission as Kyoko did.
Third was Bianchi, Gokudera's half-sister. This woman was an assassin, not to Blake's surprise. The cat-Faunus had her own run in with Tsuna being a mafia boss after all. Blake also found it amusing yet also felt sorry for the sister as Gokudera would be clutching his stomach whenever he saw his sister's face. But if something covered even a part of her face, he would be alright.
As the food was being placed in front of them, Blake was quiet as she ate and watched the others converse with one another. Looking over towards Tsuna's table, she could see the brunette laughing and enjoying his time with everyone around him. But when he looked over to Blake, he smiled gently and waved his hand.
The cat-Faunus waved back before looking back to her meal. But her fork was half-way through its trip towards the food when she saw three pairs of eyes staring at her. "Yes?" She asked awkwardly as Kyoko, Haru, and Bianchi were all staring at her.
"So, have you decided how to respond to Tsuna-kun's proposal?" Kyoko asked, reminding Blake and having her blush a dark shade of red.
"I haven't really given it much thought." Blake admitted, taking some food and put it in her mouth. "I mean, it's just so sudden for me."
"I think it's good that you're at least giving it some thought." Bianchi added. "I think that Tsuna is rushing your relationship with him a little too far. Then again, love is paced different for many people. One example of love being differently paced being your 'Christmas present' last night."
Blak, Kyoko, and Haru all blushed when Bianchi mentioned that moment last night. "We were a bit loud, huh?" Blake asked sheepishly while scratching her face.
"Haru thinks a 'bit loud' is putting it on the soft side. But it sounded like you two were having a nice time." Haru responded with a giggle. "But how are you going to respond to Sawada-san's proposal though?"
Blake still found herself still hesitating to respond. Seeing this, Kyoko thought about a way to help her confirm what she was going to say. "Blake-chan, do you know what it was like for Tsuna-kun when you weren't around?"
"Well… he said that it was hard for him but thanks to me being in his mind, he was motivated to continue on doing his best." Blake answered.
Kyoko only gave a small nod. "That's partially true. I'm not sure if I should say this but… there's been a time when Tsuna-kun forgot about you."
"I'm not really surprised about that." Blake said. "It had been ten years since we last been together."
"But you don't understand what it did to him really!" Kyoko exclaimed. "After saying that I only could see him as a friend, he understood. But he had a pained expression on at the same time. Asking what was the matter; Tsuna-kun said that he felt like he had just betrayed someone. He then rushed back home and began searching the house for something before finding it. Can you guess what that something was?"
Blake took a chance to think about it before shaking her head. "No, not really."
"It was a picture of the both of you placing chocolates into each others' mouths." Kyoko revealed, making Blake remember that picture she looked at before taking on the White Fang mission. "For the next few weeks, Tsuna-kun was completely devastated that he had forgotten about you. He was depressed! But then he realized that he could still see you again. That was the turning point for him as he began to push himself beyond his limits. There were times when he exhausted himself to the point of falling unconscious on many occasions! But that didn't stop him! He went all that because of you! He became the man he is now because of his love for you!"
Blake was stunned as she whipped her head back in Tsuna's direction. Images flashed before her as she stared at the boy. There was a young child writing on a piece of paper next to a young cat-Faunus. There was a young child running after a young cat-Faunus with the both of them laughing. There was a young boy offering a young cat-Faunus a box of chocolates and the latter proceeded to do the same. There was a young boy gripping the hand of a young cat-Faunus as they both ran down the street. There was a young boy tying a black bow around a young cat-Faunus' animalistic ears.
Tsuna looked up at his food to spy a quick look towards Blake and was shocked to see tears running down her eyes. Making a loud sound as he stood up from his chair quickly, he rushed over to the cat-Faunus' front and bent his knees so that he would be at eye-level with her. "Blake, what's wrong? Are you okay?" Tsuna asked, completely worried about the girl in front of him.
"Kufufu, how merciless of you, Tsunayoshi Sawada. You made a woman cry. Shame on you." Mukuro chuckled in amusement, earning himself a warned look from Tsuna.
"Mukuro…" Tsuna said quickly. "Now's not the time for that. I just proposed to the love of my life - - I don't know how she's going to respond - - and now she's on the verge of crying-!"
"Yes…"
It was as audible as a whisper, but it seemed as loud as a scream. Tsuna's gaze slowly traveled back to Blake's. Despite the black-haired beauty's face being wet, it still presented itself with complete happiness. Tears slowly dropped out of her amber colored eyes as a magnificent smile was worn on her face.
"Yes… I will marry you, Tsunayoshi Sawada." Blake whispered as she fell forward. She would have fallen completely on the ground if it weren't for Tsuna taking the fall and catching her in his arms. She had her hands travel around towards his back and held him tightly. Blake soon squeezed gently in a tender manner.
The kitty-cat could then feel the lion-cub wrap his own around her body as well. "Thank you, Blake Belladonna." Tsuna whispered himself as he cried his own tears of joy.
The both of them tuned out the sounds of loud cheering from pretty much 99% of the people as they continued to embrace and enjoy yet another moment in their life.
Take a guess to which the 1% belonged to.

"Sir, an incoming face call from the Schnee Dust Company. Shall I take a message?"
Tsuna found himself raising an eyebrow as he and Blake looked at the servant who had delivered the message. It was after dinner and, once more, the two of them were sitting next to each other in a private room and watched the snow fall outside in the night sky. That is until they were interrupted.
"…Mr. Schnee is calling me… on Christmas day… when he should be really spending it with his family?" Tsuna asked slowly, keeping a firm gaze, getting a straight nod from the servant. If one lived in the Vongola mansion with the Decimo/Neo-Primo for a while, it was a bit rare to see the boy angry. Yet it was actually a lot scarier because of that.
Hearing Tsuna take a deep breath, Blake placed a hand on his lap to try and calm him down. "Go ahead and answer it. This may be important after all." She assured him. "I'll be fine."
Glancing over to Blake out of the corner of his eye, he nodded his head and stood up to follow the servant to answer the call. The cat-Faunus watched the boy walk out of the room neutrally, but the gaze narrowed as she saw a person she absolutely hated.
"Cinder Fall," Blake greeted curtly. "How nice to see you again."
"As it is to you, Blake Belladonna." Cinder answered back, standing before the seated cat-Faunus. "How does it feel to be engaged to one you nearly assassinated?"
"Not as bad as someone being completely put down due to false statement and claims." Blake stated back sharply.
"Oh come now, we aren't that different." Cinder smirked, having Blake's eyes narrow even lower. "Both of us are women who set their eyes on Tsunayoshi. We both present great figures that could woo many. We both are women who have captured Tsunayohi's heart."
"I don't see how that last 'fact' applies to how we are similar. From what I can tell, you are nowhere near such a picture." Blake hissed, standing up slowly to her full height.
Both women began to stare each other down. Blake's gaze was filled with irritation while Cinder's was calm yet cautious. "Maybe, but try to paint this sort of picture." Cinder smirked, seeing how she tiled the cat-Faunus up. "Have you ever thought about why Tsunayoshi decided to propose to you? It was because he pitied you for attacking him, living the life of an animal, and being nothing other than a slutty pu-"
Blake immediately retaliated with a hard slap to the face. The sound of her hand meeting the flesh of Cinder's cheek was loud in the room but drowned through the halls. Clutching the stinging spot, Cinder's amber eyes flashed as she retaliated with a punch towards Blake. But the cat-Faunus saw this and blocked while countering with her own punch. Hitting Cinder, the cat-Faunus tried to hit the other girl again but was shoved back. Feeling the back of her knees touch the edges of the couch, Blake fell backwards and felt herself be punched in the face by Cinder. Grabbing the other black-haired beauty's hair before tugging harshly, Blake felt satisfaction as she heard Cinder hiss and growl in pain while throwing her onto the couch.
As the two of them wrestled, two certain members of the party happened to stumble across this fighting. However, they didn't' do a single thing about it. Instead, the shortest of the two actually brought out their scroll to record such a fight. "Ushishishi, looks like the Kitty-Cat of the Vongola is wrestling with the Hot-Flame of the Millefiore." Belphegor snickered.
"Who cares? Women are fighting." Viper said, holding up his scroll to take in every single moment of the two girls wrestling. "I could sell this."
Now that would be a scene, Blake and Cinder wrestling on a couch.
No flames please.
