Oscar looked at the woman standing before him.
She was breathing heavily, clutching the pine rose close to her chest, clearly nervous.
Oscar could practically hear her heartbeat, his own almost matching from both the shock and the joy of seeing her there with him.
"Ruby." Oscar said, with a smile.
Oscar walked over to her and held her hands within his own, looking at her apologetically.
"I'm sorry I had to leave out of nowhere, it was honestly a surprise to me too." Oscar apologized.
"It's alright." Ruby said.
Ruby let go of his hands and grasped the rose in her palms once more.
"Oh, here." Oscar said.
Oscar handed her the vase on his desk and she put the flower in with the rest already in there.
"So… what brings you here?" Oscar asked, awkwardly.
"I just… wanted to see you." Ruby said.
"I actually wanted to talk to you about something." Ruby mentioned.
"Yeah, I wanted to talk to you too." Oscar said.
The two stood there for a few seconds, not saying a word and just wondering who would make the first move.
"I hope he feels the same way." Ruby thought.
"I hope she feels the same way." Oscar thought.
"You know, it's been awhile since you've been to Mistral." Oscar said.
"Why don't I show you around and we can talk about what we need to at my place, later?" Oscar suggested.
"I'd love that." Ruby said, smiling at him.
Later.
As Ruby and Oscar walked around, admiring the kingdom and all it had to offer, Oscar took this opportunity to see how Ruby was doing and if his decision would be the right one.
"So, how are things back home, on Patch?" Oscar asked.
"Pretty good, all things considered." Ruby said.
"I actually traveled up here for another reason, I was hoping to find work up here." Ruby told him.
"She'd be staying in Mistral." He thought.
"Yes!" He mentally celebrated.
"Well, it's honestly been amazing up here, I'm sure you'll love it." Oscar said.
"Yeah and with you around, I'll be able to adapt in no time." Ruby said.
"Speaking of time, we should probably get going." Oscar said, noticing that time had gotten away from them and that the sky had already grown dark.
"So, how'd those last few weeks at Beacon go?" Oscar asked.
"They went okay, the ceremony was cool, but it just wasn't the same without you there with me." Ruby told him.
Guilt tugged at Oscar's heartstrings, as he still wished that he could've been there.
As they walked the path, Ruby could see Oscar's new home, in the distance.
It was simple, almost like the house he grew up in, on the farm.
In addition to being out of the way, it had an amazing view of the city.
"This place is awesome!" Ruby shouted.
"I thought you might like it." Oscar said.
As Ruby entered his house, she looked around in awe, using her semblance to see it all, quickly.
"Ruby." Oscar said, causing her to stop.
Ruby looked at Oscar, who in turn looked back.
"You wanted to talk to me about something?" Oscar asked.
Ruby flinched a little, gulping out of nervousness.
"Okay, Ruby, moment of truth." Ruby thought.
"Just stay calm and tell him." Ruby thought.
"Oscar, I… ." Ruby said, not being able to get her words out.
Ruby started to feel sick, her heart pounding faster and her emotions at an all time high.
"Forget it." She said, out of nowhere.
Ruby immediately wrapped her arms around him and pulled him in, kissing him intensely.
"I take it she feels the same way." Oscar thought.
Oscar started kissing her back, only stopping for air.
"So, wanna stay here?" Oscar asked.
"Sure." Ruby said.
Ruby went in for another kiss, this time more gentle.
It was honestly funny to them how in just a few simple seconds, they had gone from distant friends, to full on couple.
Then again, after all they had been through, it kind of made sense.
Besides, the two of them weren't exactly the most conventional anyway.
The next morning.
Oscar awoke in his bed, finding Ruby clinging onto him while she slept.
"Let's see, wake her up and go to work or stay like this for a little longer?" Oscar thought.
Ruby started to move in closer, resting her head against his chest and mumbling in her sleep.
That's when Oscar heard those three sweet words, that made him feel complete.
"I love you." Ruby whispered.
Oscar smiled and held her close.
"Well, that answers that." Oscar thought.
"I love you too." Oscar whispered.
