Ruby considered her red cloak to be one of her most cherished possessions. She wore it almost daily, when on missions, when she was out, almost anywhere. Not that Weiss or anyone close to her could blame her, as it was a gift from her mother, Summer, before her passing. She held onto it for nearly her entire life, like she still had a piece of her mom with her, so she could always remember her. But now, Ruby felt like it was the right time to give her son something that he could remember her by.

"Garnet?" she said to him as he was on his notebook.

"Yeah, Mom?"

"Ummm, you know I wear my cloak almost everyday, right?"

"Well, yeah, almost everyone knows you do. It's like a part of you."

"Yeah, I gues it is," she chuckled in response. "But that's not what I wanted to talk to you about, sweetie, it's...something else."

"Well, what is it then?"

The redhead rubbed the back of her head nervously before continuing. "It's, uhhh, something that would be discussed in my room. W-Would you, uhhh..."

"Um, okay?" Garnet said with a raised eyebrow. He followed Ruby to her room, uncertain as to what she wanted to speak to him about.

"This, sweetie, is what I wanted to talk to you about," she said. "Well, not talk, but rather, show." She pulled something from under her bed, a bag, and opened it to see its contents.

"What's in there, Mom?" he asked. He would soon be answered when Ruby brought out a black jacket with red trim. "Whoa."

"That's not all, Garnet. This is the cherry on top, that'll really complete the set." Garnet's eyes widened, as Ruby brought out a black cloak. It had red trimming on the inside, like his jacket, and it had a hood to match. "Your grandma made my cloak for me when I was younger, and as it turns out, her mom made it for her too. Now, I feel like it's the right time for you to receive your own. I spent a lot of time making it, and I hope you like it."

Garnet grabbed the cloak excitedly and ran out to his room, yelling, "I'll let you know!"

Later

When he came back, Ruby gasped in surprise at how her son looked.

"It's perfect." His jacket and cloak fit him better than she could've thought. They matched his black pants and boots as well, completing his look. Smiling, she put her hand on his shoulders.

"You're perfect, sweetie."

"Me? Perfect? Nah, never, I mean it looks good, and I think it fits me well enough but-" his little rant was cut off when Ruby hugged him.

"You're perfect to me, Garnet. Perfect to me and Weiss. I'm sure she'll be surprised to see this stranger in her house." She and Garnet chuckled to themselves before spending the next few minutes looking at themselves in the mirror.

Timeskip

"Ruby, Garnet, I'm home," Weiss said as she entered her house.

"Hello, love. How was work today?"

"Oh, you know, same old same old. What have you and Garnet been up to?"

"Oh, yes, that. Come out, sweetie, so Weiss can see your new clothes."

"New clothes? Have you two been out shopping...while...I...was...working?"

"Hey, Mother. Like the new look?" Weiss was stunned to see that her son with a new black cloak.

"Garnet, where did you...h-how did-what...I don't-"

"Mom made it for me. She's been working on it for a long time. And, it really paid off."

"It, surely has, son. It surely has." She walked up to him and cupped his cheeks. "You're so perfect, you know."

"I know, Mom told me that today when I showed her my outfit." The two then hugged, Ruby joining in also, and talked about their plans for the next week.

After dinner and some more talking, Garnet went to his room and hug his cloak.

"Awesome," he said to himself. He grabbed his notebook and went back to his drawing from earlier. It showed the prototype of a longsword that transformed into a sniper rifle.

"Now, back to naming it."
