When Blake woke up the next morning she was both excited and nervous. She still couldn't believe she had told Yang about her feelings for Ruby. After getting changed into some casual clothes, Blake realised that Ruby and Weiss had not come back the night before.

"Hey Yang where is Ruby and Weiss?" Blake asked after checking to see if Yang was awake.

"I got them to stay in a hotel last night so we could talk. They'll be back sometime today." Yang replied before walking into the bathroom.

Once both girls were ready they down to the dining hall looking for the other half of their team.

Entering the dining hall, Yang could see Ruby sitting with Velvet at their normal table. As they approached the table however Yang noticed that all conversation seemed to stop while Blake overheard Ruby asking what she was suppose to do.

"Hey guys what's up?" Yang asked cheerily once she got to the table and sat next to Velvet leaving Blake no option but to sit next to Ruby.

"Hey Yang we were just talking about Velvets photography." Ruby replied faster than normal.

"Ruby are you blushing?" Blake asked seeing the hint of red on Ruby's face.

"N-no I'm just not feeling very well this morning." Ruby replied attempting to lie but failing awfully.

Both Blake and Yang knew Ruby was lying but decided to leave it alone for now.

The small group continued to talk through breakfast until Velvet announced that she had to go as Coco had planned a date for them in a couple hours and she needed to get ready. Realising that she could leave Blake alone with Ruby, Yang made up some half hearted excuse to leave the pair together.

As soon as they were alone Ruby started to grab her scroll getting ready to leave before Blake stopped her.

"Ruby could I talk to you for a minute?" Blake asked, surprising Ruby who expected Blake to avoid her as soon as possible.

"Sure Blake what's up?" Ruby replied, happy to hear Blake talk to her again.

"Yang and i talked last night and she told me that my actions had hurt you and I wanted to apologise. I promise I wasn't meaning to upset you I just needed sometime to work some things out so i'm sorry for not talking to you." Blake said, sadness very evident on her face

"I'm just glad you're not mad at me" Ruby said before turning and hugging Blake causing a blush to appear on her face.

"Hey Blake could you help me with studying for Doctor Oobleck's class? Normally Weiss helps but she's a bit yeah…" Ruby said. It wasn't that she didn't like Weiss's help, it was just she was a handful at times.

"Of course let's head to the library." Blake responded before the pair left the dining hall towards the library.


After the pair had finished studying they headed back towards their dorm only to run into Nora chasing a another student around the courtyard while screaming something about the queen and her pancakes. Ren was sitting under a tree watching it all unfold while shaking his head.

"Uh Ren what's going on?" Ruby asked, perplexed as to the situation in front of her.

"His team dared him to take Nora's pancakes." Ren replied still watching the poor student scream for his life while Nora slowly gained on him.

"Shouldn't we help him?" Blake asked, knowing how angry Nora could get if you messed with her pancakes.

"No." Ren stated obviously not feeling bad for the poor third year.

"Wha? Why not?" Ruby's sputtered after hearing Rens dismissal of the situation.

"I told him not to try it before he grabbed them." Ren answered knowing nothing could stop Nora anyway.

After hearing this everyone fell silent as they sat and watched the third year scream even louder as Nora finally caught him.

"Oh Blake I needed to ask you something." Ruby said as screams of bloody murder could be heard in the background.

"Ok what is it?" Blake asked curious as to what Ruby was going to ask.

"Well the break is coming up soon and I was wondering if you wanted to come with me and Yang to Patch." Ruby said while poking the tips of her index fingers together.

Blake hadn't really thought about what she was going to do for the break as Beacon closes down during the holidays so the rooms can be reset and repaired before the new year moved into them leaving Blake with nowhere to stay.

"As long as it's ok with your family then yes i'd love to come with you and Yang." Blake replied, happy to have somewhere to stay but worried because she would be with Ruby for the next six weeks at her home.

"Oooohhh this is going to be awesome. We can go to the beach and decorate the tree and bake cookies." Ruby cheered while planning out everything her team could do over the break.

"Are you sure your dad will be ok with me being there?" Blake asked not wanting to be an inconvenience.

"Oh Dad and Uncle Qrow are out on a mission at the moment and won't be back until after Christmas and when he does get back i'm sure he would love to meet you." Ruby stated before bouncing on the spot thinking about giving her team the presents she had planned to make them.

After a few moments the screaming stopped and Nora appeared out of nowhere in front of the group.

"Hi guys what cha doin?" Nora sung seeming very happy with herself.

" Just waiting for you. Come on Nora let's go" Ren replied before they said their goodbyes and left the red and black duo.


Omake

*fifteen minutes before Yang and Blake arrive in the dining hall*

On the way back to the dorm Ruby ran into Velvet.

"Velvet hey can I talk with you?" Ruby shouted as she ran up to the second year.

"Sure Ruby. I'm on my way to the dining hall wanna come with me and we can talk there?" Velvet asked slightly startled by Ruby's approach.

"Sure." Ruby replied as the pair walked to the dining hall.

Once the pair had their food they walked to their normal table and sat down.

"So what did you need to talk about?" Velvet asked between bites of toast.

Ruby seemed to hunch over at this as a blush spread across her face. "U-Um how

d-did you know you liked Coco?" Ruby asked sounding extremely nervous.

"Well I always wanted to be with her and whenever I wasn't I felt like a part of me was missing. I don't really know what else I can say sadly. Is there someone you like Ruby?" Velvet responded trying to help the poor girl.

"I think so but I don't know what to do." Ruby muttered sadly before realising her sister and Blake were on there way over.


And the plot thickens. Ruby likes Blake (I know that was obvious but let me have my moment.)

Now to explain a couple things about the upcoming holiday chapters. I live in Australia so I'm basing the Christmas break off of what i had meaning there will be two weeks between them finishing and Christmas day. The other thing being because I live in Aus it's going to be a summer Christmas.

For anyone who is a stickler for proper English I realise that what Ruby should have said was Yang and I instead of me and Yang but I feel Ruby as a character would get that wrong.

As always if you enjoyed, hated, have criticism or have a question please leave a review or pm me so I can make this story and any future stories I write better. I will reply to all of them. Thanks for reading and have a good day.
