red like roses.

@sniperoses​ ‘s notebook is being put to good use.

“Uhhh, Ruby?”

a boy peeps around the doorway into the room ruby’s in!

“Are you busy?”

A girl peeks out!

“Oscar? What’s up?”

With that warning, it’s already in Ruby’s mind that she’ll try not to tease Weiss. Kidding. She won’t. Who would’ve thought that, after their pretty bad first meeting back in Beacon, they’d be standing here exchanging Christmas presents today? This recently-turned-Huntress certainly hadn’t. But she hadn’t thought a lot of things would happen. None of them had. It’s why shared moments like this matter even more than ever before.

There’s nothing but a guilty giggle (come on, Weiss! She doesn’t tease that much… right? She does and she knows it) and a curious head tilt before she opens the box.

Once it’s opened, a tiny gasp escapes her lips, pulling out the matching bracelets and looking at them in nothing short of awe.

“Weiss…”

She doesn’t… know what to say. Of course she wouldn’t tease Weiss about this! No, this… these…

“These are really… pretty… and thoughtful…”

Ruby Rose? Lost for words? It’s more likely than you think.

“I- uh…! Thanks, Weiss…”

She takes a moment to admire them, before holding out Weiss’s bracelet to her with a grin.

thanks, @sunxdragcn​!

Groggily awakening from her slumber, Ruby slowly sits up in her bed, mind just as slowly registering that it’s Christmas Day. Excitement instantly makes her heart skip a beat, but before anything else…

“…Mm… What time is it…?”

Her question goes unanswered, mumbled to herself more than anyone. But… it’s then that her senses of smell and sight properly wake—

“—!”

“Cookies.”

Cookies. And, upon reading the note next to it, an even bigger grin emerges on Ruby’s face. She’s definitely going to jump out of bed and go right downstairs to thank her sister!

@sniperoses​

hand in his back pocket, a easy smile– he’s sure a donkey, but lets just say somewhere out there, they managed to meet. 

“hey, nice weapon you got there. where’d you get it?”

A rose appears! She’s just chilling. Hanging. Where? Somewhere out there! 

“Ohh, you mean this?” Holding Crescent Rose up in the air! “Heheh... I made it! I based it on my Uncle Qrow’s-”

A pause. Squinting.

“Waaait a minute...”

@wintersrapier​ @shatterflake​ :EYES: i could do it. I Could. i’ll see what point the thread’s at when i get to it so that i don’t like... conflict w/ any of it. 

angst on winter soon

This might be a problem, Oscar had said— proceeding to munch on some food. Were they... macarons? Probably not, but it had been some kind of food! And maybe it was sweet! Of course, with a problem presented their way, Ruby had forced her focus away from the food and onto solving said problem, but... 

Once their distraction is a success, silver eyes immediately track the food that makes its way to Oscar’s plate again.

“...”

A moment of silence goes by, eyes still fixed onto the plate, but before he can even pick it up—

No plans tend to go completely smoothly, and their need to improvise with that certain distraction had definitely proved that. Once the initial comedic value of seeing anyone get covered in wine passes, her giggles die down, and she can’t help but feel a bit bad for the younger Schnee.

Giving her friends a quick ‘I’ll be back!’, she makes her way over to the heir, standing before him with an awkward smile, shoulders shrugging slightly.
