Weiss' POV -
To say I was freaking out would be the understatement of the millennium. My wife was going into labor and we had no way to get to the hospital. We took Ruby back to Jaune and Pyrrha's bedroom laying her down on the bed. Jaune was put in charge of keeping the kids out of the room.
"You're gonna be okay Ruby." I say trying to soothe her. She's holding my hand and squeezing so hard it feels like it could break. I don't care though, it must be a fraction of the pain she is going through. My heart breaks to see her hurting so much. Pyrrha helps Ruby get her pants off.
"Will the baby be okay?" Ruby asks obviously straining to speak.
"It'll be fine Ruby, Loran was a home birth too, we can handle this." Pyhrra says trying to reassure Ruby and I. I forgot that Pyhrra had been in this situation before too. That gives me a bit of relief but I'm still worried.
Jaune's other job was calling everyone up to let them know what was going on. According to him everyone was worried and all but Yang sent their well wishes. Yang being the stubborn bull she was decided to try trekking over here in the snow despite how much Jaune insisted that was not the best idea.
As the hours went by Ruby seemed to only be getting worse and worse. I'm pretty sure that my hand had to be broken by this point. It was hard to tell because as much as my hand hurt I was more preoccupied with my poor Ruby.
"I see the head!" I hear Pyrrha shout. That instantly sends a jolt of joy and anxiety through me.
"Your doing great Ruby it won't be much longer now." I whisper to her.
"Our little Rubin is almost here." She says managing a strained smile. She will never cease to amaze me.
"That's right Ruby but you gotta push okay." I say trying to motivate her.
"I'm here!" Yang shouts bursting in and running to Ruby's other side. I am shocked to see she made but I'm relieved as well. Judging by the look on Ruby's face I imagine she is too.
"The shoulders are out, your so close Ruby." Pyhrra says trying to motivate Ruby as well.
"Come on sis you got this." Yang says holding Ruby's other hand.
"Our baby boy is almost here Ruby just a bit more." I whisper to her.
It doesn't take to long before we hear Pyrrha confirm that the baby was out and she got him to start crying so he could fill his lungs with his first precious breath. After wrapping him in a blanket she hands him to Ruby who immediately gives one of the brightest smiles I have ever seen despite how exhausted she must be.
"Hey there little guy I'm your mommy." Ruby says gently kissing him on the head. "Sorry you had to work so hard to get here."
"He's so perfect." I say starting to tear up.
"You bet he is." Ruby says. "Look its your other mommy."
Eventually Jaune and the kids all come in to get a look with Loran getting as close to Auntie Ruby as Pyhrra will let her. I had never seen that child's eyes get so big.
"You want to hold him Weiss?" Ruby asks.
"Very much." I respond honestly. She hands little Rubin to me and I tenderly hold him in my arms. I am as gentle with him as I can be as if he will break if I'm not careful. I still couldn't believe he was finally here. I lay on the bed next to Ruby still holding him in my arms. "Hey little guy...I'm so happy your finally here." He lets out a gentle coo.
"He seems pretty happy to see you too." Ruby says smiling and leaning her head on my shoulder.
"I promise that I will do my best to make you and Mommy as happy as possible, and to never let anything happen to you." I say placing my own kiss on his head. I mean it too. I will be the parent to him that I didn't have growing up. If I have anything to do with it, he will never experience a moment of the loneliness I felt and he will always know that I love him.
"That goes ditto for me." Ruby says smiling. Her eyes are closed, I can't blame her with how exhausted she has to be. This is the official start of our new life as parents, so she deserves to rest while she can, it is only going to get harder from here but it will be worth every moment of hard work.
(3 Years 9 Months Later)
"MOMMY!" Ruby and I hear Rubin yell from his bedroom. He must be having nightmares again.
"He's calling for you again." I say to Ruby turning over in bed.
"Can you please handle it Weiss?" Ruby asks "I'm exhausted and I have to work early tomorrow."
"What and I don't?" I ask turning over only to come face to face with her signature puppy dog eyes. To this day she knows I can't resist when she does that. "Fine but you owe me." I say getting up.
"Thank you Weissy, I love you." she says sweetly.
"Yeah yeah I love you too." I say walking down the hall to Rubin's room. I walk in to see him cowering behind his blankets. "What seems to be the trouble little man?" I ask tiredly sitting on the edge of his bed.
"Why didn't Mommy come Momma?" he asks still kind of scared. We decided early on Ruby would be Mommy and I would be Momma to make it less confusing for him and us.
"Mommy asked me to come this time." I respond honestly. It honestly does make me jealous that he prefers Ruby so much but I guess it's only natural. "So whats wrong?"
"The monsters are gonna get me Momma, they had scary red eyes." he says genuinely believing his nightmare was real.
"I wouldn't count on it, with Momma around those monsters wouldn't ever mess with her boy." I say smiling and brushing his hair out of his face. He had Ruby's hair color and her silver eyes. He reminds me of her so much it is almost scary.
"W-Will you stay with me tonight Momma?" he asks.
"I don't know Rubin, Momma would really like to sleep with Mommy at least once this week." I answer.
"Please.." he asks giving me his own version of Ruby's puppy dog eyes and I am about as good at resisting his as I am Ruby's.
"Alright, scoot over." I say prompting him to move over a bit. I lay down in the best next to him and he cuddles into my side. I am glad that he at least feels safe with me. It doesn't take long for him to fall asleep and I fall asleep right along with him.
(2 Months Later)
Ruby's POV -
Weiss, Rubin and I are on our way over to Yang's house for Thanksgiving. Aside from us she also invited Blake, Sun, their daughter Noir who is a little over 3, Dad, her mom, and Winter.
Dad and Raven flew in a couple days ago so they could be here. They've been staying at Yang's place. Yang and Neo got married a year ago. They opted to not have kids, maybe they will change their minds later but so far they are sticking to it. By the time we get there Blake, Sun and Noir are already there. As soon as we get inside he runs over to Dad and Raven hugging them.
"I missed you Grandpa and Grandma!" He shouts looking super adorable.
"We missed you too kiddo." Dad says picking him up. I just realized Yang must be in the kitchen or she would've pounced on Rubin the minute we got here. After Rubin visits with his grandparents for a bit he hops down and begins looking around for his best friend.
"Hey Noir." Rubin says, smiling wide, as Noir walks up and starts tugging him over towards her toys. That is her way of asking him to play since she isn't the best with words yet. Noir seems to have inherited most of her mothers traits except for the monkey tail which she clearly got from her father.
"Hey there Rubin, doesn't Aunt Yang get a hug?" Yang says crouching down in front of him. He immediately jumps into her arms. Luckily she has learned to keep her hugs at least mildly under control otherwise our son might be dead by now. "Are you excited to be starting School next year?" she asks lifting him up into the air.
"Yeah Momma says I am gonna be the smartest." He says letting out a cute laugh at Yang's antics.
"Well you better try your best if you don't wanna let Momma down." she says hugging him again. Suddenly Noir starts tugging at Yang's skirt looking pretty upset. Probably either because Rubin was getting all Yang's attention, Yang was pretty close with Noir since Blake brought her over to Yang and Neo's place all the time, or because she took Rubin away.
Probably a bit of both honestly. "Aw I'm sorry my little monkey." Yang says picking Noir up holding them each in her arms. I really do wonder why they decided to not have kids. I think Yang would make a fantastic mom. Suddenly the door bursts open and we see someone we haven't seen in years.
"UNCLE QROW!" Yang and I both shout. Yang gently places the kids on the ground before joining me in full on glomping him. He just starts laughing and hugging us back.
"So I guess you missed me?" he asks sarcastically.
"Are you kidding?" I respond hugging him even tighter. "We haven't seen you since Rubin was born."
"Yeah I know, it sucks but work kinda keeps me away for long periods of time." he says. That is true, I mean he does work for the CIA, it just sucks that we rarely see him. We reluctantly get off of him so he can stand up. "Speaking of Rubin where is the little man?"
"My name is Rubin...who are you?" Rubin asks walking up to him. Uncle Qrow kneels down to eye level with him.
"I am your Mommy's Uncle Qrow and your Great Uncle Qrow." he says grinning and ruffling Rubin's hair. "You can just call me Uncle Qrow if that's easier."
"Okay, you wanna come play with me and Noir?" he asks. It's amazing how quickly a child can just accept these things.
"You bet." he responds and Rubin pulls him over to where he and Noir were playing. I'm sure Rubin will grow to love Uncle Qrow as much as I do. About a half hour later Neo comes out of the kitchen and taps Yang on the shoulder.
"Okay Honey we'll eat soon, we're just waiting on one more guest." Yang says somehow immediately knowing what Neo meant by that gesture. Finally we hear a knock at the door and Weiss rushes to answer it.
"Winter!" she says as soon as she opens the door and hugs her sister.
"It's good to see you too Weiss." Winter says hugging her back. It's only been a few weeks since we last saw Winter but Weiss just adores her big sister that much.
Winter has been working for a local business since she moved to town and it didn't take long for her to work her way up. She has been away on an extended business trip for the company which is why we haven't seen her.
"Aunt Winter!" Rubin says jumping up from the spot he was playing in and runs up to Winter hugging her leg.
"Hey there little one." she says picking him up and hugging him.
"I missed you." he says smiling. I can't quite explain it but even though Yang is the more doting Aunt, he much prefers Winter. I'm sure that upsets Yang but if it does she's never said anything.
"Okay it's time to eat everyone!" Yang shouts almost on cue as if she is trying to break up Rubin and Winter.
"I want to sit next to you Aunt Winter." Rubin says much to the joy of Winter and the sadness of Yang. Everyone heads into the kitchen sitting around the table. The food looks amazing.
Yang has always been a great cook but she really outdid herself this time. We stuffed ourselves so much that you could tell everyone was about ready to pass out afterward. In fact poor Rubin did.
With that Weiss and I decide it is time to head out so we can put the little guy to bed. We say our goodbyes, especially to Dad and Raven since they are going back home tomorrow morning, and head home.
(Next Month)
"MOMMA! MOMMY! Wake up!" Rubin says bouncing up and down on our bed. Weiss and I sit up slowly, yawning and stretching. "It's Christmas!"
"It sure is." I say trying to force myself to wake up as I crawl out of bed. "It's also your birthday."
"Yep!" He shouts, running down the hall and downstairs towards our Christmas tree.
"I am really starting to feel old." I say chuckling as we both follow after him.
"You and me both honey." Weiss says yawning. Once we get to the living room, where our tree is, Rubin is already sitting excitedly next to the pile of presents.
"Don't hold back on our account buddy." I say as Weiss and I sit on the couch. Weiss pulls out her camera so we can at least get a few pics of the birthday boy tearing through his Christmas presents. I cuddle into her smiling.
I still find it kind of hard to believe sometimes that this is all real. If you had told me 10 years ago that I would be married to Weiss and we would be sitting around the Christmas tree watching our son open presents I would've told you that you were nuts.
"Cool!" He shouts as he opens his first present. It is the new RoosterBox game console with some game called Red Vs Blue. I'll be honest, I mostly got that so I could play it with him. It doesn't take long before he has opened every single present. "Thanks Mommy and Momma." he says hugging us both.
"Your welcome birthday boy." Weiss says kissing him on the head. He asks me to help him hook up his new game console. I help him out and then we both decide to just let him enjoy his new present for awhile. We head back upstairs so that we can get cleaned up.
"Hey Ruby." Weiss says as I am about to head into the bathroom to shower.
"Yes?" I ask turning to face her. She holds out a little box in wrapping paper.
"Merry Christmas." she says and I take the present from her.
"Oh Weiss...I don't know what to say." I say honestly.
"Well you could open it before you decide." she says giggling. I slowly open it and inside is a small book. When I open the book I see that it is a photo album full of pictures dating from all the way back to our high school days to more recently. It's mostly pictures of Weiss and I but there are some photos of us with our friends and some with Rubin.
"Weiss...this is amazing, thank you." I say hugging her and kissing her.
"I'm glad you like it, I put a lot of effort into it." she says smiling.
"I feel kind of bad though I didn't get anything for you..." I say frowning.
"Don't worry about it Ruby, I'm the one who surprised you with this, you don't have to feel obligated." she says laying back on the bed.
"I'll tell you what" I start saying as I lay back on the bed next to her. "later tonight when Rubin is asleep...I'll give you the best present ever." I whisper in her ear. I then immediately jump up off the bed and walk to the bathroom.
Weiss is just blushing, I can tell she liked the sound of that. I stop in the door way for quick second to shake my hips and tease her a bit more before closing the door so I can take my shower.
(6 Years Later)
Weiss' POV -
"Eis go away!" I hear Rubin shout from the living room. "Me and Noir are trying to play games."
"Eis sweetie, leave the big kids alone, come and help Momma with dinner" I say popping my head into the living room.
"Okay Momma..." she says sounding pretty disappointed. She walks into the kitchen and pulls a stool over to the counter where I am cooking. Luckily she ended up looking mostly like me. She has short snow white hair and icy blue eyes. "Momma does big brother hate me?" she asks sounding pretty upset.
"No not even a little, big kids just like to be left alone when they have friends over." I respond kissing her on the head.
"Knock knock." Ruby says entering the kitchen, still dressed in her uniform.
"Mommy!" Eis shouts and runs over to Ruby hugging her leg. Ruby immediately picks her up.
"What have you been up to cutie?" Ruby asks kissing her cheek.
"I was helping Momma cook." she says flashing that adorable smile of hers.
"That's my good girl." Ruby says before giving her one last big hug and putting her down.
"Where's my greeting?" I ask pretending to be upset.
"Oh I'm sorry Weissy, I missed you too." she says putting her arms around my waist and kissing my cheek.
"Don't worry about it honey, I know I can't compete with the kids." I say jokingly.
"Oh and I can?" she says back chuckling.
"Good point." I say honestly and kiss her lips.
"Ewwww." Eis says before running out of the kitchen. Earning a laugh from both of us.
"Rubin, dinner is almost done!" I shout toward the living room.
"Okay!" he shouts back.
"Is your girlfriend staying for dinner?" I ask as him and Noir walk into the kitchen. Both of their faces turn red.
"Ma!" Ruby and I start laughing pretty hard.
"I was kidding, calm down." I say which chills him out. "Seriously though Noir, would you like to stay for dinner?"
"Sure, thank you ma'am." she says pulling out her cell phone. "Just gotta call my mom."
"Alright we'll wait for you." I say as she walks out of the room to make her call.
"Rubin could you go get your sister really quick." I ask.
"Do I have to?" he asks. "She is so annoying."
"Rubin be nice to your sister, she really looks up to you." Ruby says walking up stairs to get changed really fast.
"Yeah yeah." he responds going to gather up Eis. Suddenly my phone starts ringing. I check the caller ID and see that it's Winter.
"Hello." I say after answering the phone.
"Hey Weiss, listen I am sorry but I can't go shopping this weekend." she says right off the bat. I am pretty disappointed but I'm also curious.
"Why not?" I ask sounding a bit more childish than I meant to.
"I know I promised but...I kinda got asked out on a date." she says.
"What really?!" I shout surprised.
"Yeah yeah I know, Winter the man repellent has a date, better alert the world." she says sounding slightly offended.
"I didn't mean it like that Winter, it's just a bit surprising is all." I say trying to rectify the situation.
"It's fine I was to easily offended." she says sighing.
"So...who asked you out?" I ask.
"Well...it was Qrow." she responds hesitantly.
"Ruby's uncle!?" I shout even more surprised this time.
"Yes...I know he is older and it might be kinda awkward at first but...he is a really sweet and caring guy under his otherwise rough exterior." she says sounding positively infatuated with him.
"Well I hope it goes well." I say just wanting my big sister to be happy.
"One more thing." she says.
"What is that?" I ask.
"Could you not tell Ruby about this?" she asks in an almost begging tone.
"You want me to keep secrets from my wife?" I ask unsure of how to feel about that.
"I promise I'll tell her...I just don't want to make a big deal out of it yet...I don't know if me and Qrow will even work out yet." she says. That does make sense I guess.
"Okay my lips are sealed." I promise.
"Thank you Weiss it means a lot, anyway I should let you go, it's probably dinner time around the Rose household." she says chuckling.
"Yeah it is actually." I say laughing a bit myself. "Well I'll see ya later Winter, love you."
"I love you too." she says before hanging up.
"Was that Winter?" Ruby asks startling me a little bit.
"Yeah, she was just letting me know she was to busy with work to go out this weekend." I respond trying to keep Winter's secret.
"I got her." Rubin says putting Eis down in her chair. Noir comes in and sits down in her usual spot.
"Thank you Mommy's big boy." Ruby says clamping onto him.
"Mom your embarrassing me!" he shouts trying to pry Ruby off of him. The rest of us can't help but laugh.
(1 Month later)
"We really need to thank Yang for keeping Eis out of the house today." I say as I finish hanging up the banner.
"Oh please, knowing Yang she was MORE than happy to do it." Ruby responds with a chuckle as she lays out the rest of the presents on the table.
"Yeah good point." I say coming down off of the ladder.
"It's so weird to think that little Eis is turning 5." Ruby says and I hear her sniffle. I turn to she is tearing up.
"What's wrong Ruby?" I ask putting a hand on her shoulder.
"It's nothing really it's just...Rubin and Eis are growing up so fast." she says managing a smile.
"I know how you feel." I say hugging her. "Time really does fly doesn't it?"
"Yeah.." she responds hugging me back. "It seems like only yesterday we were going out on our first date...now we're married with an almost 10 year old son and a 5 year old daughter...were did the time go?"
"I wish I could answer that..but hey our little ones aren't grown yet and we've still got a good long while left on this crazy ride together, its been pretty amazing so far right?" I ask kissing her.
"Damn right it has." she responds kissing me back.
"Come on Eis!" we hear Yang shout from the other side of the front door obviously trying to give us the heads up.
"Quick everyone hide." Ruby's says under her breath as she turns out the light. We all hide behind various tables and the couch. The hardest part is keeping Eis' friends from kindergarten quiet. We hear the door open and the lights come on.
"Happy Birthday!" we all shout popping out of our hiding spots. A big smile spreads across Eis' face.
"Wow, this is all for me!?" she asks running up to Ruby who picks her up.
"You be it is sweetie, Happy Birthday." Ruby says hugging her. Eis adorably wraps her arms around Ruby's neck.
"Thank you Mommy." she says before reaching out for me. I hold out my arms and she practically jumps into them.
"Thank you too Momma." she says hugging me now.
"You don't have to thank us sweetie, Mommy and me were happy to do this for you." I say kissing the top of her head. We let her go free so she can go spend time with her friends. We have all the usual party games set up like pin the tail on the wolf. We even got her a bear pinata which the kids all really liked. Everything was running smooth until..
"Go away!" Rubin shouts getting everyone's attention.
"but...I just wanted you to come play with me." Eis responds looking pretty hurt.
"I don't want to play with you, you get on my nerves, what don't you understand about that!" he shouts before running out the front door. Eis just watches as he runs off before she starts crying.
"Rubin!" I shout before running after him. I want to comfort Eis but Ruby has it covered and I need to find out what is up with him.
I run around the neighborhood looking for him before I finally find him at the park sitting on the swings. I run up to him and put my hand on my hip.
"Okay you want to tell me what that was about?" I ask sounding audibly upset.
"No.." he responds refusing to look at me.
"Okay well in that case I am not asking, I am telling you to explain." I say putting my foot down. "You made your little sister cry and on her birthday of all days."
"Big deal she gets so much love and attention I'm sure she'll be fine." he says kind of throwing me off guard.
"What are you talking about?" I ask. "Mom and I give you a lot of attention."
"Not nearly as much as you used to!" he shouts. "Ever since she came around I have been getting paid attention to less and less.." I sit down on the swing next to him and let out a sigh. Now that I really think about it..he's not wrong.
"I'm sorry...I'm sorry that Mom and I haven't been able to give you as much attention as we'd like...between work, your sister, and our other obligations we just don't have all the time in the world...but I promise we will try harder from now on." I say putting a hand on his shoulder. "Now let's head back."
"Okay Ma..." he says getting up off the swing.
Ruby's POV -
I take Eis into the other room after assuring everyone that the party will continue in a little bit.
"There there, it's okay Mommy's here." I say walking back and forth with her in my arms as I gently pat her back.
"Big brother hates me." she says between sobs.
"He doesn't hate you sweetie." I say trying to calm her down. Her crying just breaks my heart.
"He does...he never wants to play with me and he is always yelling and getting mad at me." she says calming down a little but still clearly hurt.
"Rubin...is just dealing with some stuff sweetie, I promise he doesn't hate you." I say. "Would Mommy ever lie to you?"
"I guess not." she says sniffling. The front door opens and I take Eis into the living room to see that Weiss and Rubin were back. She motions that she wants down and I place her on the ground. She walks up to Rubin who refuses to look her in the eye. "Big brother?"
"What do you want?" he asks much more calmly than he did before.
"Do you hate me?" she asks. He looks almost shocked as if he didn't expect that question.
"No I don't hate you...I'm sorry I yelled I was just upset." he says still not looking at her but this time out of guilt. Eis immediately smiles most likely relieved to hear that and hugs him as tight as her little arms will allow. He almost looks like he wants to cry but he hugs her back. Now that the situation has been resolved the party continues. This time though a certain big brother is playing with his little sister.
(6 years later)
"Rubin you want to go to the movies me, Ma, and Eis?" I ask popping my head into his room. He is just laying there on his bed looking kind of miserable.
"No thanks Mom." he says without even looking over at me.
"Are you okay?" I ask stepping a little further in.
"I'm fine." he says turning over.
"Well if you say so...we'll be home in a few hours." I say stepping out and closing his door. I walk out to the car where Weiss and Eis are waiting and hop in the driver's seat.
"Why isn't big bro coming?" Eis asks from the back seat.
"Not sure he just seemed really upset." I respond starting the car.
"He's still not over it?" Eis asks which peaks my interest.
"You know what's bothering him?" I ask as I'm pulling out of the driveway.
"Yeah he's been upset since last week, apparently Noir has a boyfriend." she says looking out the window.
"Why would that bother him?" I ask and in the corner of my eye I can see Weiss face-palm.
"Are you serious Ruby?" Weiss asks.
"What do you mean?" I ask back really confused.
"Ruby honey I love you, but you can be so dense." she says.
"Would you please explain?" I say getting a little annoyed.
"Rubin has a crush on Noir." she says.
"He does!?" I respond honestly surprised.
"Well duh, how could you not have noticed?" Eis says from the back seat. Apparently I am the only one who didn't know.
"Well..I guess I'll have a talk with him when we get home." I say not really looking forward to that talk. Mostly because I have no idea what I am going to say.
(A Few Hours Later)
"Hey Rubin is it okay if we have a talk?" I ask knocking on his door.
"Yeah I guess..." he says from the other side. I slowly enter and close the door behind me.
"Sweetie..I know what is bothering you." I say sitting on the edge of his bed.
"You do?" he asks looking surprised before looking slightly upset. "Who told you?"
"That's not important." I say not wanting rat out his sister. "Do you want to talk about it?" He just looks down before speaking up.
"I just don't get what she sees in him..." he says with a mixture of genuine confusion and jealousy. Well that confirms what Weiss and Eis were saying at least. "Maybe she likes him because he's a faunus like her..I don't know."
"Well I can't speak for Noir sweetie...but if you really do like her you only have two options either respect her relationship and keep quiet or...you can take a risk and tell her how you feel." I say honestly.
"I want to tell her but...what if she doesn't want to be my friend anymore?" he asks. It hurts my heart to see him like this.
"Well if I know Noir she wouldn't stop being friends with you over something like that...but even if she did if you like her enough...it's worth the risk to tell her because if you don't you'll regret it forever." I say.
"Was it this hard for you to confess to Ma?" he asks.
"Honestly...she confessed to me first but I will say it was hard for me to ask her out for the first time." I respond chuckling slightly. He looks up at the ceiling before getting a determined look on his face.
"I'm gonna do it." he says. "I'm gonna tell her tomorrow how I feel."
"Good." I say smiling. "We Roses never back down from a challenge."
"Mom...thanks for the talk." he says before hugging me.
"Your welcome sweetie." I say hugging him back. It kinda makes me happy to know that in some ways he still needs me. "Good night."
"Good night Mom." he says as I get up and walk out of his room. I walk into the bedroom to see Weiss laying in bed already and doing what appears to be grading papers.
"How did it go?" she asks when she notices I entered the room.
"Pretty good actually." I say plopping onto the bed. "Not to brag but I'm pretty sure I deserve Mom of the year."
"Oh really?" Weiss asks raising her eyebrow at me.
"Yes really, what is my award?" I ask winking at her.
"Well I was prepared to put off grading the rest of these papers until the morning and give you the most passionate night of love making we have had in a long time." she says and I get all excited. "buuuuuuuut now I realize I gotta work even harder if I want to win Mom of the year."
"No no no no I was I just kidding you're totally mom of the year." I say as if I'm begging her to change her mind.
"No no you clearly won so I will just have to work extra hard we may even have to skip out on our date nights for a few weeks so I can really get caught up." she says super nonchalantly.
"Your such a meanie Weiss." I whine throwing my arms around her neck.
(The Next Day)
"Ruby let the boy have some privacy." Weiss says shutting the curtains on me.
"Aw come on, I just really wanna see how it goes."I say referring to Rubin confessing to Noir. I ignored Weiss' insistence and continue watching. I can tell even from here that he is trembling, poor thing. Then what I see causes me to let out an audible gasp and squeal.
"What happened?" Weiss asks her curiosity suddenly piqued.
"Well first Rubin put his hand on hers" I start getting all excited. "and then she kissed him on the cheek, it was soooooooooooo cute!"
"No way!" she shouts.
"Yes way!" I shout back but then when we hear the door open and we start pretending like we're cleaning. Rubin walks in but then turns to face Noir.
"So um..I guess I'll see you at school." he says with a big smile on his face, his cheeks redder than I have ever seen them.
"Yeah...bye Rubin." she says back, kissing him on the cheek one more time before running off.
"Awwwww!" Weiss and I involuntarily let out much to Rubin's embarrassment. He immediately runs up to his room.
"That's my boy." Weiss says before walking into the kitchen probably to cook dinner. I follow after her.
"It's amazing how fast these two are growing up, it won't be long before Eis starts getting interested in dating." I say and Weiss shudders.
"Please don't make me think about that, Rubin and Noir might be adorable but just thinking about Rubin being at that age already kinda scares me, Eis eventually being that age terrifies me." she says while boiling some water.
"Yeah she'll be quite the handful, it doesn't help that she takes after her gorgeous Momma." I say standing behind her and putting my arms around her waist.
"Ruby if your trying to sweet talk me, its working." she says letting out that rare but ever so sweet giggle.
"Soooo we still on for date night tomorrow?" I ask putting my chin on her shoulder.
"Oh alright how could I say no to that face" she says kissing my cheek. "besides I was only joking last night."
"Your so mean sometimes." I say pouting.
"I know, but you love it." she says winking.
"Yeah I do." I respond and kiss her. "Oh by the way I told Loran we'd give her twenty bucks to keep an eye on Eis tomorrow."
"Is Yang busy or something?" I ask.
"Yeah, coincidentally her and Neo are going out too." I say leaning back in a chair. "I would ask Rubin to look after her but I'm sure he'll have plans."
"Good call, besides Eis loves Loran to pieces." she says straining noodles. "So where are you taking me tomorrow?"
