A Shattered Life

Chapter 33: Ruby's Birthday

After a long cold night, the daybreak brought glimmers of warmth. The yellow shining sun started rising from the ground, it filled the sky with mighty colors of red and splashed the clouds with endless rays of pink. Multiple birds flew over the academy and the Galeon, they chirped an explicit background melody for everyone who was awake to hear and enjoy. The pure scattered sunlight managed to find its way inside a bedroom aboard the airship, where a young man was sleeping with his arm wrapped around a certain red girl's perfect figure. When the powerful light hit the boy's closed eyes he was forced to open them. "...Morning already?" He rubbed his eyes.

Geo then looked down and found Ruby still resting peacefully with her head on top of his chest. "She looks even more cute when she's asleep." A smile spread across his lips as he ran his hand through his girlfriend's marvelous hair. Then, he delivered a soft kiss on her head. "I trust Sunny and the others managed to organize the surprise party without much trouble." He whispered to himself. "If everything went according to plan it will be the best birthday party ever."

After saying that, the young red warrior began to slowly move her head up until her face was right in front of her boyfriend's. "Maybe a kiss from a Prince will awake the sleeping beauty from her slumber." Geo couldn't resist any longer, he softly pressed his lips against her's. The sweet taste that came from the kiss only made him want more, but he knew if he kept going he might risk awaking his beloved so decided to stop after a simple kiss. "I'm truly happy that we met that night in the village, I can't imagine my future without you."

"...I say the same." Ruby yawned before opening her silver eyes. "It seems the handsome Prince was able to wake me up. Hehe!" She giggled, causing Geo to feel a little bit embarrassed. Ruby then pulled some strings of hair to the side, that way she could have a better view of the boy without having something clouding her vision. "So, what happened to you last night? It was really late when you came here." She asked. "I hope everything is alright, I know you have been under a lot of pressure lately."

"Oh, it's nothing to worry about really. Besides, Sunny told me that she and Avala will take care of things for a couple of weeks so I can rest." He answered. "Although, I have no clue to what I should do with my free time. I mean I have been in Vale before but I never had the opportunity to explore the city, so I guess I will do that first, unless..." At that moment Geo got closer to his girlfriend. "You want to tag along and perhaps stay one or two nights at a hotel, just the two of us."

Ruby gained a light blush. "That could be fun and we do deserve some rest after what we been through." She replied with her sweet tone. "Count me in, but you have to promise me it will be just the two of us and that there will be no talk about Salem or any other subject related to her. I'm tired of hearing General Avala talking about her and that creep with the mask."

"Great! But you don't have to worry, I have no desire to bring such subject during our alone time." Said Geo as he ran his fingers down her perfect figure, his hand only stopped when he reached her butt. "And also, happy birthday my love!"

"Hehe! Thanks!" Ruby smiled, she was happy that her Prince hadn't forgotten about the special day. She moved from her current position in bed and got on top of the young boy, then she placed her hands on his chest and felt his strong muscles with her fingers. Unlike her soft chest, Geo's was hard because of the amount of training he does almost every day. "I bet you are having naughty thoughts about me right now." Said Ruby as she felt her boyfriend's hands on her waist.

"...W-Well, maybe." His face turned a little bit red, then he raised himself and kissed Ruby in a passionate way. He caressed her cheek with his thumb. Ruby melted into his arms and slipped her arms around his neck. They were totally oblivious to everything except each other. The red girl lost control of all coherent thoughts and concentrated only on his lips on hers and Geo's hand running through her hair, pulling her closer. She felt a million wonderful sensations zinging through her senses, the kiss got deeper, hungrier as he pulled her tighter to him. They parted, gazing into each others eyes. Their breathing was uneven and her cheeks pinched with extra color.

"The more I look at you, the more I want to keep kissing you." Said Geo.

"I say the same." Replied Ruby.

Geo held the red warrior gently, he leaned and kissed the tender area at the base of her neck. Ruby's body went rigid with surprise as trembles shook her figure and the euphoric warmth blossomed within her once more. The girl was breathless with delight as he showered her with gentle, soft kisses, each with its own flicker of warmth. "...Geo." She gazed at him, thrilled beyond words to be the recipient of his affection. He drew back again and spent a moment looking at her. Ruby felt her blush deepen as he continued to stare at her with his purple eyes that seemed to glow like diamonds under the sunlight. "I want you." She whispered into his ear.

As Ruby was about to undress her shirt, someone slammed the door open. "Good Morning!" Sunny happily shouted. "I just came here to tell you that breakfast is..." The medical officer paused as she noticed that her friend was on top of the Prince, both of them had their arms wrapped around each other. "Oh my!" Sunny was completely embarrassed, she turned around to avoid staring at them. "Please forgive me, I had no idea you two were doing sexy stuff."

"W-What? W-We aren't doing anything naughty!" Ruby didn't expected this to happen.

"Not yet at least." Said Geo playfully.

"Be quiet." She covered his mouth. "Sunny! Don't you know how to knock?! It's rude to enter someone's bedroom without permission."

Sunny scratched the back of her head. "I-I know, sorry about that." She apologized. "Well, anyway, I just wanted to say that breakfast is ready and that General Avala requests both of your presences at the dining hall. I would suggest that you hurry there because as you two know that woman doesn't like to wait very much." Sunny approached the exit of the room. "Oh! I almost forgot, my Lord, you should read page seventeen of the book I lend you a few days ago, I believe you and Ruby would enjoy that position." Sunny quickly closed the door with a smile on her face after that.

"Wait! What book? What position?" Asked Ruby. "What was she talking about?" She was confused.

"I have no idea." Replied Geo. "Well, you heard her, we should get dressed and go see the General."

Ruby narrowed her eyes. "I have a feeling you are trying to avoid this subject." Her gaze was fixed upon the boy.

"No, I'm not." Said the Prince with his usual tone as he gently moved his girlfriend to the side. "You heard Sunny, we better get dressed, I don't want to keep the General waiting for too long, otherwise we won't hear the end of it." The young man rose from the bed alongside the red warrior and both of them gathered their clothes as quickly as possible. While Ruby was dressing, Geo placed his hand inside his pocket and retrieved his gift. "It's time." He approached her. "Here, I want you to have this, it's my gift to you."

"Thank you, but you didn't have to buy me anything." Replied Ruby. She removed the wrapping paper and found that the gift inside was a small wooden music box similar to the one she had when she was younger. "It's so beautiful, it even has the same carvings from the one I had and everything." Ruby smiled, she then opened the box and a sweet melody began to play, but what truly caught her attention was the two figures dancing. The tall woman was Summer Rose, and the small girl was her. "Mom..." Several memories came to her, all of them were about the time she spent with her mother.

The young heir was happy to see Ruby smiling, he knew she would love this precious gift. "I'm glad you like it." Said Geo. "It took me awhile to find the music box and it wasn't on the best shape when it was delivered to me, but thankfully one of my engineers was able to fix it." He placed his hands on top of hers. "Now, the box didn't came with those figures of course, but I asked Sunny if she could make small statues of you and your mother. You know how she likes to create art, I knew she could make them without much trouble."

Ruby looked at her boyfriend. "She did an awesome job." She then closed the music box and pressed it against her chest. "I will keep it in a safe place." Ruby said in a low tone, then she placed the box on top of the table next to the window. "This gift was the best ever!" She hugged Geo with all her strength. "Thank you."

"You are welcome my rose." Replied the heir. "Now, I believe we should head to the dining and get some breakfast before Yang and the others eat everything."

"Yeah! Let's go, I'm starving." Ruby led the way, both of them left the room and made their way through the hallway towards their objective. It didn't took long for them to arrive at entrance but for some reason the doors were closed, they were usually open at this time and Ruby found that strange. "Why are the doors closed? I thought Sunny said the breakfast was ready."

"No clue, but lets get inside anyway." Said the boy

Ruby and Geo opened the door, the entire room was dark but then the lights turned. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" Everyone shouted with a big smile on their lips. Ruby was surprised, she didn't expect her friends to throw a birthday party, not to mention this early. "You guys! Hehehe! You are all awesome!" She was happy beyond belief. General Avala was there, Sunny, the new Captain, Yang and even the two girls she met awhile back, Weiss and Blake. "You knew about this didn't you?" Asked Ruby.

"I wanted it to be a surprise." He answered. "We would have thrown the party at night but since everyone would probably be busy at that time, we decided to throw it in the morning."

"Less talk, lets have FUN!" She grabbed Geo's arm and went to greet the guests before going to the dance floor with her Prince.

The music was so loud that it made Ruby's skin tingle and her lungs feel like mush. The bass thumped in time with her heart beat as though they were one, filling her from head to toe with music. She liked this song. Over the roar of music, a distant, hazy chatter could be heard. Ruby couldn't make out any words, but laughter rang in her ears and wouldn't seem to stop.

Everyone was having a good time. Ruby was dancing with Geo, Yang was sharing a drink with her new friend Blake, while Weiss was in the corner alone. But that didn't last as Ruby grabbed the white haired girl's hand and dragged her into the dance floor. Soon Yang and Blake were also dragged by the red warrior. This truly was a happy moment for everyone.
