I've been here before.

I walked through the murky blackness, looking around at my memories. Only this time, they were memories of my heart getting broken. My body felt cold as I continued making my way toward the light, feeling my dark surroundings get warmer and warmer.

"…I'm dead, am I…?"

I sighed, continuing on to the light.

"DELTA!"

"Don't die, dammit!"

I could hear the voices echo through the darkness.

"…Delta…!"

That was Lima.

"Don't you dare die on your team!"

Sierra.

"Dammit, don't die!"

Hotel.

"Kid, wake up!"

Yang.

Just then, I felt something warm grasp my hand. I looked up, seeing a woman with a white hoodie similar to Ruby's smiling at me.

"Who…?"

"Delta…," she said, "do you love Ruby?"

I blinked, reluctantly nodding as I suddenly heard Ruby and Magnum.

"Ruby, get back!"

"Get away from me, you jerk! Delta!"

I turned around, seeing gray shapes take hold as I could see Ruby's silhouette hovering over me, shaking me as she screamed, "I love you! I love you! I love you! Please don't die, I love you!"

I could feel a tear streak down my cheek as the woman said, "You don't deserve to die yet, Delta."

I turned back to face the woman, who looked strikingly similar to Ruby.

"Now," she said, "go on. Back to the one you love."

Suddenly, I felt myself get sucked back into the darkness, as well as seeing the woman waving to me.

A heartbeat.

I gasped, my eyes shooting open, seeing a bright light over me as the doctors all rushed over to my side. My eyes closed immediately at the light, my body begging for air as I gasped at what I could in the oxygen mask.

"Get him oxygen! Quickly!"

I could feel the rush of oxygen through the mask, my breathing getting easier as I could hear the faint beeping of a heart monitor to my right. My chest felt sore, but I couldn't help but smile, realizing that I was alive. And I had a new resolve.

Sierra paced the hallway, impatient and anxious. Hotel watched her, unable to do anything but feel the same way. Lima's ears were flattened as Blake stroked her hair. Ruby sat with Yang, her eyes clearly watery as the door finally swung open. Sierra was the first to greet the doctor, who said, "He made it."

With that, the hallway burst into a cheer. Yang ran over and jumped on Hotel as Lima smiled with relief, nuzzling onto Blake's chest. Sierra jumped for joy as Weiss sighed with relief.

Ruby's eyes widened in relief as she wiped her eyes, smiling.

"We can only allow team SHLD in for now, but please, do pay him a visit," Ozpin said, approaching the door. The group nodded as Sierra approached Ruby and said, "We'll update you on his condition."

Ruby nodded as Sierra smiled at her, giving her a thumbs up. Yang wiped her eyes as Sierra slowly opened the door, peeking inside to see Delta sound asleep. She motioned for the rest of the team to enter as they quietly walked over to his bed side.

Lima stroked his beautiful black/amethyst highlighted hair as Sierra said, "I now you're asleep, but the members of team MGNM have been disbanded."

Sierra sat on the bed side next to him, stroking his hair as well. She smiled and said, "…you know, if you weren't so into Ruby, I probably would've fallen for you, you dolt."

"Sierra," Hotel said, looking at her. She shook her head and said, "It's true…but you know, beggars can't be choosy."

"Thanks for being on my team," she finished off. Lima looked up at her as she stood up and said, "Let's let him rest, SHLD."

"…bye bye…," Lima said, kissing him on the forehead. Hotel nodded as they left the room.

Sierra instantly looked at Ruby, walking up to her. With a smile, Sierra wrapped an arm around her and said, "You've got yourself a good man, Rosey."

"Eh?"

With a smile, Sierra said, "Don't break his heart again. Otherwise-," Sierra opened her eyes, revealing her glowing red orbs, "—I'll make sure you'll regret it."

Ruby flinched, nodding quickly as Sierra pulled her into a hug, surprising her. She stayed like that with Ruby for a while, then said, "And…pop a kid or two with him in the future okay?"

The teams outside the room all gawked at how bluntly Sierra had said that. Ruby's face turned hot red as Sierra pulled back, grinning as Ruby held her hands at bay, making sure they didn't grab Crescent Rose.

I opened my eyes, slowly sitting up so as to accommodate for the stinging in my chest as I looked out the window, showing the moon just slowly peeking over the horizon.

Nighttime, huh?

I sighed, then heard a knock on the door.

"Come in."

The door opened. My heart physically hurt as it skipped a beat as Ruby poked her head around the curtain.

"Umm…hi," she said, coming completely around and taking a seat next to me. I blinked as she looked away from me, then opened her mouth, almost as if to say something, but then closed it, like she didn't want to talk about it. We remained in complete silence for a bit until she opened her mouth again.

"Delta-!"

"Stop."

She flinched as I said, "I already know what you're gonna say…Ruby."

I had to force myself not to call her "Rubes."

Her glance shifted downward as I continued, "'I regret hurting you, and now this has happened, so I'm sorry,' right?"

She could only nod in shame.

I sighed, feeling a smile creep onto my face as I felt the fluttering feeling in my chest.

"…Rubes…."

That caught her attention.

I reached out, caressing he cheek. I could almost sense a feeling of comfort from her as she reached up and covered it with her own hands. Her eyes opened, her silver irises almost glowing in the moonlight. I could feel my heart beating so much that it hurt as I said, "I love you, Ruby."

I could see her as her breath hitched.

"I'm going to be really honest with you; I never hated you. I love you. I really do."

Ruby's eyes appeared to grow watery as she reached for her hood, pulling it over her head, almost as if she wanted to hide her face as her lips curled into a guilty happy smile. I couldn't help but chuckle as she peeked out from under it; her blush evident as I pulled it off of her and pulled her into a hug from my seated position, pulling her off the chair she was seated on to have her sit next to me.

"Ruby," I stated, "will you be my girlfriend?"

Though I couldn't see it, I could almost sense her lips turning into a smile as I heard her say, "…yes…!"

Man, she's making it seem like I'm proposing to her.

I looked up, suddenly seeing a white figure standing before me. It was the lady from my dream smiling down on me as she said, "Thank you…Delta…."

I blinked as Ruby asked, "Delta? Something wrong?"

I looked at Ruby, who was an exact split image of the woman. I smiled, realizing who it must've been as I replied, "no…no."

I pressed my forehead onto Ruby's, taking a gaze into her eyes. She reciprocated as I closed the distance between our lips, only to have her lower her face in nervousness. I smiled, pressing our foreheads again, closing my eyes as she did the same. I could feel the heat in my chest flare up as our lips met in a chaste first kiss. I could feel her breath tickle my face as it got a little heavier. I pulled away slightly, only feel her press her lips against mines again, her arms wrapping around my neck as I did the same around her waist.

I won't let you go…I'll love you…forever.

...Tell me y'all were expecting that at the end XD.
