Ruby could tell when the full moon was coming. Even though she could control her wolf now, the full moon was still when she was at her strongest. But tonight was her favourite kind of night; a moonless night. She took the evening off from the diner and wondered into the woods. She liked to just lie on a blanket and stare at the sky.
As she lay back, a noise from the bushes startled her and she became fully alert, until she saw who it was.
"Victor!" She scolded. "You scared me!"
"Sorry! I saw you coming here and I just wanted to see you."
She smiled at him and put her arms around him, leaning up to kiss him.
"You know you saw me yesterday right?" She teased.
He rolled his eyes jokingly. "I know that! But I know how you feel about the moonless night."
She took his hand and brought him over to her blanket and they lay down together staring at the sky.
Being here in Storybrooke was strange these days after it almost destroyed. And Victor being here, which she was so thankful for. She'd be forever grateful to the Blue Fairy for that. Since he almost died and told her he loved her, they began to spend all their free time together. And she loved it.
The moonless night though, was something that she had never experienced with him. She'd only told him about it. But here under the stars with him felt so perfect. She smiled to herself.
Victor looked at her. "What you so happy about?!"
She snuggled up to him. "Being with you."
He kissed her softly and put his arm around her. They stayed that way until they both drifted off to sleep on this beautiful moonless night.
