It was New Year's Eve and The Rose-Xiao long home was filled with joy and excitement, mainly from an over excited blonde and redhead.

"It's New Year's Eve it's New Year's Eve." The sisters cheered, holding hands and spinning around in a circle in the middle of the lounge room.

"So childish. What is so important about today that has you two so worked up." Weiss said, sitting on the three seater with Blake who had been reading until Weiss's outburst.

The sisters stopped spinning and stared disbelievingly at Weiss.

"it's a day you can spend with your family and watch the new year begin." Yang stated, still staring at Weiss like she had grown a second head.

"Didn't you celebrate with your family on New Year's Eve Weiss?" Ruby asked, her head tilted to the side.

"Not really. I was usually the only one home so it was always just another day for me." Weiss replied, now looking and sounding sullen. "What about you Blake?"

"We didn't really have a lot of time for holidays when you're fighting for peace and equality."

The room was silent for a few moments before Ruby spoke up.

"Well then we are going to make this the best New Year's ever." Ruby cheered, jumping up and down on the spot.

Yang cheered behind her sister before the pair tackled the other half of their team on the couch. While Weiss was complaining to Yang and Ruby was nuzzling Blake, Qrow and Taiyang came downstairs and walked into the lounge room.

"Alright kids we're heading out." Taiyang called, getting everyone's attention and causing Ruby speed away from Blake's face

"So you're not staying?" Yang asked now sitting on Weiss's lap just to annoy her.

"Nah figured we would leave you kids to your own fun." Qrow replied, leaning on the archway into the lounge room.

"Speaking of which, Yang you're in charge. You have my number in case something happens." Taiyang said as he walked around the front of the couch.

"Yeah make sure the lovebirds behave themselves." Qrow smirked, causing both Ruby and Blake to blush.

"Qroooow." Ruby whined, pouting at her uncle for teasing her and Blake.

"Have fun girls." Taiyang said as he hugged all four girls.

"We will." Ruby and Yang chorused as their father and uncle walked out the front door.

"Right let's get this started." Yang said, clapping her hands together.


As Yang prepared food in the kitchen with Weiss trying to help, Ruby and Blake raided the movie collection.

"Ruby could I ask you something?" Blake inquired, her eyes fixated on Ruby who was surrounded by piles of DVDs..

"Sure, What's up." Ruby beamed, looking up from two DVDs she had in her hands to smile at Blake.

"What do you normally do on New Year's Eve?" Blake shyly asked, blushing lightly for even having to ask the question.

"Well Yang normally cooks a bunch of food and we watch movies and play games. Oh and we go outside and watch the fireworks from the big tree." Ruby said, bouncing up and down thinking about the fireworks.

"Hey Rubes can you and Blakey go into town and get some stuff for me?" Yang called from the kitchen before a loud clanging noise could be heard from the kitchen.

"Okay." Ruby called back before running into the kitchen to find her sister helping Weiss pick up metal baking trays.

"The list is on the bench Rubes." Yang sighed as she picked up the last tray and placed them back

Ruby grabbed the list she needed and left the kitchen to find Blake, overhearing Yang say something to Weiss about asking for help and being too short on her way out.


As the couple walked into town, Blake looked over at her girlfriend. Ruby's brilliant smile caused Blake's heart to flutter and staring into her eyes would cause Blake to lose all concept of time.

Ruby turned towards Blake, only to realise that Blake was staring at her as they walked.

"Blake are you ok? Is there something on my face?" Ruby asked as she started wiping her face to get rid of whatever Blake may have seen.

"N-no.. no there's nothing sorry." Blake sped through, blushing at being caught staring.

Hearing the ever stoic Blake stutter and seeing the blush on her face caused Ruby to start giggling.

"So what was the loud crash that came from the kitchen before we left?" Blake inquired, trying to get the blush under control.

The "Oh Weiss dropped all of the baking trays. Yang must have asked her to get then and then she dropped them. Yang mentioned something about asking for help if she was too short before I left though. Ruby replied, giggling at the look that must have been on Weiss's face when Yang mentioned her height.

Blake tried to stifle her laughter with her hand. "I'm kind of happy your sister asked us to do this now. I don't think I want to see Weiss's outburst at that."

Blake and Ruby continued to laugh as they walked into the outskirts of the main town.

"So where do we have to go?" Blake asked looking around at the houses around her.

"There is a grocery store a couple blocks away." Ruby replied as she walked in the direction of the store.

After walking about a block Ruby ground to a halt. "Oh my god I never showed you around town I'm sorry Blake." Ruby wailed in an over dramatic way.

Blake just smiled at her girlfriend's actions. "Ruby it's fine. Why not show me around in the new year?"

"Sure." Ruby replied, now smiling up at Blake who smiled back.

The pair then started walking again towards the grocery store.


Having bought the food they needed, the couple returned home to find Weiss sitting on the steps in front of the front door with Zwei.

"Weiss what are you doing out here?" Blake asked, staring quizzically at her teammate.

"Yang kicked me out of the kitchen." Weiss replied, not looking up from Zwei as he laid on his back enjoying the belly rub Weiss was giving him.

"Ok but why are you out here?" Blake inquired even more confused as to what had happened while they were gone.

"Well I may have gotten some mix into Yang's hair when I nearly dropped the mixing bowl." Weiss said, her posture and attitude becoming much more timid.

Ruby and Blake both cringed, knowing how protective Yang could be about her hair. Memories of Yang beating up a beowolf that clipped her hair on a mission flashing through their minds.

"I'll go see if Yang needs any help." Blake sighed as she walked inside.

"Well I need to go set something up. Talk to you later Weiss." Ruby called as she ran into the house, leaving Weiss outside.


After another hour of cooking and twenty minutes of Blake carefully pulling batter out of Yang's hair, the team sat down to enjoy dinner Yang had cooked a chicken stir fry, and fried rice.

"This looks amazing Yang." Blake subtly awed, amazed at Yang's cooking skills.

"Thanks. I had a lot of practice when we were younger." Yang said, scratching the back of her head.

"Yang makes the best food." Ruby beamed before starting to load her plate with food.

The rest of team RWBY started enjoying their dinner in a comfortable silence.


After dinner, the group moved into the lounge to relax. As always, Blake and Ruby sat on one of the recliners while Weiss sat on the other one and Yang laid across the three seater.

"food coma. Can't eat any more." Ruby groaned, holding her stomach with her arms.

"Thats a shame Rubes because I made strawberry cheese cake." Yang smirked, knowing how her sister was with strawberries.

"I take it back. I want cake." Ruby said as she slowly sat up, only to be stopped by Blake's arms pulling her back down.

"It's not going anywhere Ruby just relax." Blake said, resting her head on top of Ruby's.

"But Blake." Ruby pouted, thinking of the strawberries and cake that were being kept away from her.

"Oh get a room you two." Yang moaned, trying to embarrass her sister and friend.

"Not after dealing with your father and uncle." Blake shuddered as Weiss just stared on in confusion.

"Don't ask." Ruby said as she hugged Blake, trying to help her forget the horrors of Uncle Qrow.

the room stayed silent for a moment before Yang turned on the t.v and started a movie


Having just finished their third movie, Ruby looked around to find that she was the only one still awake. Carefully she removed her scroll from her pocket to find that there was still fifteen minutes until the the new year fireworks.

"Blake…. hey Blake wake up." Ruby whispered, gently nudging the girl below her.

"Ruby?" Blake asked groggily rubbing her eyes as she looked around the room.

"Come on we need to go see the fireworks" Ruby said as she pulled Blake up and dragged her out into the backyard.

Having reached the backyard, Ruby started climbing the large tree closest to the house, leaving a confused and still slightly groggy Blake behind.

Just as Blake was about to question what the young redhead was doing, Ruby poked her head out of the leaves on a branch that overhung the roof.

"Come on Blake you're gonna miss it" Ruby called as she jumped from the branch and onto the roof.

Now more awake, Blake carefully followed Ruby's pass up the tree until she was on the roof. During the day Ruby had laid out a blanket for herself and Blake to sit on.

"When did you set this up?" Blake asked, trying to remember if Ruby had the blanket with her when she ran outside.

"While you were checking on Yang in the kitchen." Ruby replied as she checked her scroll. "Come on come on It's nearly time."

Just as the pair sat down the first fireworks were launched signifying the clock striking twelve and the beginning of the new year.

"Happy New Year Ruby." Blake said, turning towards her girlfriend with a smile on her face.

"Happy New Year Blake." Ruby replied, placing her hand on top of Blake's. "I love you."

"I love you too." Blake replied before leaning in to kiss Ruby.

The kiss expressed everything that words couldn't for the pair and as the final fireworks lit up the sky the couple separated, knowing that nothing was going to keep them apart


Awkward kiss is awkward.

If you can give me any tips for writing moments like that please do because i am terrible at it.

As of posting this chapter this fic has broken 8278 views, 59 favourites, 90 followers and was added to a community and I am just amazed. When I originally wrote what would become chapters 6 and 7 of this fic I thought i'd maybe get 10 views on any fic i wrote and maybe a follow if I was lucky and now here we are so thank you to every single one of you. I honestly can't express how grateful i am and i will do my best to keep writing fics you all enjoy.

So for anyone who was reading When Your World Falls Apart I want to apologise for no updates for it. Due to some problems in life i'm putting that fic on hiatus for now but i do intend to finish it.

I'm also looking for a couple of people who like bumbleby to give input on whether or not you would rather see a planned fic focus on Yang or Blake. I will explain in more detail to the people who want to help as to not spoil anything for everyone else but this fic won't be for a while regardless.

As always if you enjoyed, hated, have constructive 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.

Thanks for reading and have an awesome day.
