Cooking

I know I haven't uploaded in a while; sorry I've been busy with college. To be honest I probably won't finish the eight chapters before Christmas so I'm just going to say that in advance. Hope you enjoy and remember I own nothing.

Jaune woke up pretty early and abruptly as Ruby dragged him out of bed excitedly "What's is it" Jaune asks trying to make himself alert. It didn't look all that great when he rolled out of their bed hitting the ground with a thump. "ow" he groans rubbing the back of his head.

With that Ruby's excitement was gone as she zipped in Jaunes face worriedly "Jaune I'm so sorry are you okay" Ruby asked checking Jaune's head for bumps.

"I'm fine" Jaune replies smiling at her as he takes her hands in his standing up. "so, what's this about" he asks blinking himself awake.

Ruby looked away as she tightened her hold on Jaune's hand "it's silly" she says feeling sheepish, she suddenly woke him up and almost got him hurt for something so silly "I was going to make cookies and I wanted you to do it with me" Ruby says awkwardly as she avoids eye contact.

Jaune smiles wider at Ruby as he cradles her face and lifts her chin up making her face him as he stares in her eyes "I would love to Jaune says smiling at her which made her smile back regaining her excitement.

"come on let's go Jaune" she said about to try to drag him to the beacon kitchens, he was almost half way through the door. "oh yeah sorry I forgot" she says blushing embarrassed making Jaune laugh. "hey it's not funny" Ruby complains quickly pouting as she lightly slaps Jaunes chest.

After Jaune calmed down he patted her head "I'll go get ready in the bath room so I'll see you later" Jaune says giving her a quick peck before he left to get changed,

When Jaune got ready he was immediately grabbed by Ruby, "hey are you ready" she asked excitedly making Jaune nod smiling.

"yeah, ready when you are" Jaune replies before getting dragged away by the hand. They made it to the Beacon kitchens in a new record braking time, it's funny looking back before when Jaune would have been caught by Ruby's excitedness there would be a lot of tripping, screaming and at one point puking. It was a scary event that Jaune would hope to never be part of again.

But nowadays he has become so used to it that he could silently keep up, provided that she doesn't use her semblance. It tends to leave him short of breath and a little out of breath but that was a feeling that he was used to getting around Ruby and he wouldn't change it for the world.

Getting into the kitchen the two dorks quickly started to make the cookies, well after they had washed their hands and while Jaune prepared where they would be cooking as well what they would be cooking with, while Ruby got out the ingredients and measured them.

As they did this the music that they had put on began to play the first song filling the room with the sounds of soft rock as I will wait played.

The two of them hummed to the music as they played when they were together and doing things where music would spice things up then they would play their playlist. A collection of music that the both of them liked as well as songs that they thought the other would like.

The first song was something that Jaune showed to Ruby not long after they had met when he found out how much she enjoyed listening to rock. They surprisingly found that they're interest in music was pretty similar which helped them to bond a lot as they shared songs. Although the biggest difference is that while Ruby was into rock Jaune was more interested in Indie.

Working together it didn't take them long to make the cookies, for Jaune though the most tiring part was trying to keep Ruby from eating the cookie dough, although when Ruby pulled out a pack of strawberries Jaune had an idea.

"hey Ruby" Jaune says getting her attention as she puts a strawberry in her mouth, she looks to him slowly chewing. "I know a recipe to make a strawberry sauce it shouldn't take long if you're interested" he says casually using it or not would-be Ruby's call and he was happy either way.

"really?" Ruby asks happily as she speeds over to him, used to it Jaune doesn't even blink or lean back with her face next to his he smiles.

"yep, my mom taught us how to cook and there's this one recipe where you cook strawberries, lemon and sugar together to make strawberry sauce, want me to show you?" Jaune asked making Ruby nod excitedly as she hands him the strawberries.

But instead Jaune has Ruby help cook as he prepares the stove, he has her prepare the strawberries and then they added some lemon juice and sugar to it before they cooked it.

Leaving it to set until they got the cookies out the oven which would be time for the sauce to be ready. They then poured it over the cookies before they had some before bringing the rest to their dorm. With warm smiles and hands in each other's they were looking forward to Christmas.

So, hope you all enjoyed the fic, I hope you are all staying safe and doing okay, this might be my last upload before Christmas if that is the case then Merry Christmas everyone. And if you don't celebrate Christmas then I wish you happy holidays no matter what it is that you celebrate. Hope everyone stays safe.
