Hey y'all, I haven't died yet. Oh yeah, and Guest, I'll take your thoughts into consideration. Anyway, this is the chapter that I've been really been lazy with, so please enjoy! Oh, and please keep the suggestions coming; I'll see what I can squeeze together.

I sat on the finished portions of the wall as the moon shone brightly overhead. I could hear the laughs of the workers on break down below as the moon shone down on me. Looking up, I dropped onto my back, looking up at the starry heavens above. I quickly identified the Big Dipper, or Ursa Major.

Ursa….

I chuckled to myself, thinking about the Grimm species that I commonly saw Yang beating up. Just then, I heard footsteps walking towards me, causing me to sit up to see Ruby, who gingerly took a seat next to me. I smiled at her as she did the same, leaning onto me. I snaked my arm around her shoulder as she breathed out, "This is a great view."

"It could get even better," I replied. I glanced at her, smiling at her. She blinked in confusion I quickly closed the distance between our lips. I smiled into our kiss as she stiffened up and let out a surprised "Mm!?"

Pulling away, I looked into her widened eyes, my smile turning into a smirk as she looked away, blushing. I chuckled, turning my attention back towards the moon, now high in the sky as the crowd below us burst out laughing yet again. I heard Ruby sigh, then felt her shift uncomfortably in my grasp. I blinked in surprise, looking at her, seeing her eyes staring right back at mine.

"…Delta…," she breathed out. I raised an eyebrow in curiosity at the way she was looking at me. She opened her mouth to say something, only to close it just as quickly. She then repeated her action, only to close her mouth again.

"What's up?"

Ruby sighed, snuggling closer to me, wrapping her arms around me.

"…Don't die…."

What the…?

"Rubes," I replied. She lifted her head to face me as I stroked her cheek. I smiled down on her and replied, "I don't plan on dying anytime soon."

"I hope so," she continued, turning her body so that her legs were over my lap. She wrapped he arms around my neck and pressed her lips against mine. I closed my eyes, snaking my own arms around her body, instinctively laying her on the ground. I pulled away momentarily, staring down into the beautiful silver irises of my girlfriend as she blinked up at me in surprise.

"Sh-shouldn't we be in a bedroom for this?"

Ruby glanced away, almost panicked. I blinked, then smiled and leaned down and said, "That's what makes doing it out here so exciting."

"B-b-but," she stammered cutely as I licked her neck, "s-someone m-might s-s-see us…hnn!"

"Exactly," I replied, leaving a wet trail of open mouthed kisses down her neck. I could hear her breathing hitch then grow harder as I felt myself growing hard. I grimaced at the uncomfortable feeling in my pants as she breathed out, "st…staahh…stop…!"

I glanced up at her, her eyes practically pleading me to stop. I couldn't help but laugh, getting off of her and pulling her back into my arms. She let out a small yelp as I said, "Alright, you win Rubes."

"Hey! I found them!"

We both turned to see Yang walking up to us. Hotel followed up, then Lima, then Blake, Weiss, then finally Sierra with Echo. Yang took a seat next to us with Hotel next to her, pulling her onto his lap as Sierra said, "I think they were doing naughty things up here~!"

"Wh-wha-!? N-no! We weren't!"

Bad move Rubes.

Sierra grinned, suddenly getting into Ruby's face, which slowly began turning red. I couldn't help but chuckle, pulling her away from Sierra as I said, "That's enough, Sierra."

"Aww…," she said as Echo walked up to her and said, "You know…if you really want to, we could put up a show right now-."

"One more word and you're life is as good as the bottom of this wall," she said, threatening to throw him off the wall. We all laughed as he slowly began to back off as Yang looked up at Hotel. I kept my eyes on them as he smiled down at her, taking a kiss from her. I then looked back at the moon, wondering what could be in store for us this year.

"…hey, Delta?"

I looked down at Ruby, who took a kiss from me again. I blinked as she pulled away just as quickly, grinning at me. I returned the grin as we both kissed each other yet again. We pulled away quickly as the rest of the squads began filling in the gaps between us and Hotel and Yang. I let out a content sigh as Ruby leaned back into me, her head falling over my shoulders. I quickly took in the quick whaff of strawberry scented shampoo as I heard Sierra say, "You know…this is almost as nice as the sunrise, Delta."

"That it is," I replied as the moon slowly continued rising in the horizon.

Suddenly, the sound of a siren going off filled the air. I looked down at the camp, seeing the workers all scrambling away as a dark shape jumped into camp and let out a howl. Ruby immediately shot off of me as I instinctively jumped off the wall, shooting a sword at the ground where the Grimm was standing. I watched as the Beowolf swung for a worker, only to get struck in the head as I teleported myself to my sword, swinging the Grimm around and away from the worker as Ruby landed next to me. I glanced at her, smirking. She reciprocated as we both took off, cleaning house on either side of camp.

"Yo, Delta!"

I turned, jumping out of the way of Echo, who sliced the Grimm I was after in half, landing on his sword as his semblance began to crackle off his weapon.

Oh yeah; I forgot his semblance is electricity.

With that, he let out a shout, letting loose a shockwave of lightning at a pack that was jumping towards him.

"Delta!"

I turned, seeing a Deathstalker burst from the underbrush. I grimaced, running towards it as Sierra appeared next to me, running stride for stride as it swung a massive pincer at us. Time stopped as we cleared the pincer, returning as it swung and missed. I raised a sword, getting its underside as Sierra grabbed onto my other arm, swinging me around back towards it as we cleared its belly. I watched Lima jump up, planting her axe in an eye as Hotel began a barrage of bullets as I quickly identified the stinger.

That's my target!

The beast fell onto one side as I quickly ran up to it, using my momentum to run up the tail.

Closer!

I reached the stinger, holding my sword up, prepared to rid it of its most potent weapon.

The end!

Only, things didn't go exactly how I planned.

As I made the downward slash, I suddenly felt a gust of wind blast me off of it. If it weren't for my aura being as intense as it was, I probably would've been gushing out blood right now as I heard the Deathstalker shriek in pain. The sound of tendons tearing apart filled the air as I regained my balance, flipping in midair and landing on my feet. I looked up, seeing Herald landing in front of me, giving me a smile as she said, "Sorry about that!"

I sighed, shaking my head, only to look up and knock her out of the way of an impending Beowolf slash, blocking the attack with one sword, then the other hand with the other sword. I grimaced as it easily began over powering me. I looked through the corner of my eyes, seeing Herald quickly engaging with another group of Grimm. I then turned back to the one I was engaged with, concentrating as I breathed out, "Ruby…!"

Suddenly, the red blade of Crescent Rose cut through the bottom of the Grimm as blood began spraying onto me. I blinked, looking at Ruby, who had a blood streak going down her cheek. I blinked as she wiped it away, winking at me, feeling my heart skip a beat at her rather seductive action.

Shaking the thought out of my mind, I looked around, trying to locate any more enemies, only to be greeted with the mangled body parts of Grimm littered all over the ground. I looked around, seeing everyone relaxing a bit as Sierra dropped to one knee, sighing as Echo walked up to her, putting a hand on her shoulder. Sighing, I sheathed my weapons, looking at Ruby, who immediately put her head on my shoulder. I blinked in surprise as she kept her hands behind her back, clutching Crescent Rose tightly as I wrapped my arms around her waist, hearing it finally folding back into gun form. I could hear the audible "click" as it attached to her carrier on her back as she snuck her arms around me and said, "You're mine. All mine."

I blinked in surprise as she pulled away, putting her forehead on mine. I blinked at her sudden possessiveness as she closed the distance between our lips, lightly pressing hers against mine. I reciprocated the pressure as she pulled away just as quickly, digging her face into my neck.

Whatever the case, I think she's finally feeling what I was feeling last year. Oh well; we all go through this at some point, I guess.
