My next few posts are all gonna be Christmas themed. And I've gotten a lot of PM's telling me that people really like having Kuro with Yang.
Welp… Here's another one… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It was the evening of Christmas Eve. My girlfriend and I had decided to open all our gifts early. We were at a party with all of our friends from our Beacon days at Jaune and Pyrrha's place.
Unknown to my girlfriend, earlier in the day I had convinced them to let me set up a little treasure hunt for her main gift. I thought it romantic and since it was coming onto our fifth year anniversary in the upcoming year I bought her a beautiful diamond ring set. I figured a little treasure hunt would be fitting for such a treasured gift. Of course, I had to let everyone who wasn't my girlfriend in on the whole scheme. The general consensus was that it would be, and I quote, "cute to watch."
We started out that we were only going to open one gift each of our choice but since the gift my girlfriend chose was the first part of her hunt it left us no option but to open all our gifts.
When she grabbed the gift I told her if she opened that one we would have to open all our gifts so we quickly agreed to make our Christmas Eve our Christmas morning, it was well into the early morning anyway. I took away the box and told her that would be the last one she opened.
We all ripped apart the paper on the other gifts, smiles on all faces when each saw what they got. Then it came time for the final gift, I knew there were going to be tears of joy and I had Jaune follow her with camera in hand as she took her journey.
She first opened a present that was under the tree, inside was no gift but a note of longing love and the next step for her to take. The note took her in the direction of the television hutch and she soon found another note. She was giddy with the game and I could tell her heart was racing. She was probably thinking this present better be worth the work… heh ~
The next note took her all the way upstairs to one of the bedrooms and to a painting that was hung on our wall. It is funny how we look at things each and every day but fail to actually look at it. Had she looked at the picture earlier more closely she would have noticed the note but to my luck she hadn't so the game was not ruined.
When she opened the note it lead her back down stairs to another gift under the tree that was hidden in the back. It was a big box that I knew would lead her to think this was it...but...no such luck. Sorry, babe. As she tore away the paper I could see she thought she finally hit her gift but another note had her traveling again, this time to the kitchen.
When she got to the stove there was a card waiting for her. Since I knew that she was getting impatient, I professed my love once again and offered her the final piece to her treasure map. The map took her back to the beginning and once again she was at the Christmas tree. Tucked in the back in the tree was a small wrapped box.
Her eyes lit up as she tore at the Christmas wrap, and when she flipped the box open the look of love, appreciation and happiness that was on her face was worth twice as much then the ring was worth. I know for her as well as me every good moment of our five years together washed through our thoughts. It was then that I took the ring and spoke to her calmly, yet powerfully.
"We've been through almost every hell Remnant can offer, and I'm still alive because I had you. Thank you so much. I really want to be your path. Your light. Be by your side in more ways than I can count with two hands…" I dropped on one knee. She gasped lightly, most definitely understanding my intentions now. "Yang Xiao Long, will you marry me?"
The tears started rolling down her cheeks and she was left without words for a brief moment that is when I heard what I wanted and needed to hear.
"Y-yes… YES!" When her words did finally escape her lips, my heart fluttered and tears welled up in my eyes as I felt as I did the first moment I knew I was in love with this beautiful woman.
The room erupted into a chorus of applause and cheers. Ruby and Nora's were the most noticeable. Ruby actually came up and hugged me, shouting "BRO!" Nora was now jumping up and down with joy while Ren tried calming her down, but not before sending me a congratulatory nod first. Sun had stopped eating his banana was grinning widely at me while his free hand gave me a thumbs up. Blake was slowly clapping while giving Yang and I (mostly Yang) a smile. I heard Jaune say something like "Pyr, I think I just got diabetes~" while Pyrrha shook her head at her boyfriend's exaggeration. I can see Weiss dabbing her eyes with a napkin while sniffling. She was crying, but tried to remain composed as Neptune rubbed her back with a wry smile. Neptune did say she was prone to crying when around marriage in general.
"Don't just stand there, man! Kiss her!" Sun yelled at me. To put icing on the cake, I noticed Nora tying a mistletoe between me and Yang. We both laughed at this and inches closer to one another until our lips finally met.
I have heard and told so many truths and lies, but the love I have for my girlfr—no, my wife—is 110% true and I don't know what I would do without her in my life. She is my flame, my light. I couldn't think of a better woman for me than Yang.
