For RWBY Tuesday, it's Ruby's birthday and Weiss, Blake and Yang are competing to see who can give Ruby the best gift.

They’d all thought they’d gotten her the best gift.

As her sister, Yang knew she’d won. She’d lived her whole life with Ruby and knew exactly what she’d like. She’d gotten her a special pocket knife, constructed in such a way that it could turn into various types of blades, screwdrivers, and other tools. Not only could Ruby use it to prepare weapons like the little closet nerd she was, but she could also marvel at the knife itself.

Blake had to admit it was a good gift, but hers was still better. She knew Ruby’s taste in literature, and a good book could be read again and again and never get old. It had a solid plot and a very unique way of telling the story, one she knew Ruby would enjoy immensely. It would surely keep Ruby smiling for weeks on end as she read it before bed.

Weiss thought their gifts were cute, but they were missing the obvious. Ruby Rose was a lover of all things sweet, and as her partner, Weiss knew exactly what to make her. She’d baked a batch of chocolate-chip cookies, complete with powered sugar on top as well as slices of strawberries. Ruby was going to squeal so loudly.

And she did. Ruby squealed at the top of her lungs after opening every single gift they gave her. She tackled them all in turn, smothering them all in excited hugs and kisses as she looked over her gifts.

“Thank you, thank you, thank you guuuuys!!!”



“Well,” Weiss smirked. “So tell us who the winner is.”

Ruby sat back and blinked in confusion.

“Winner?”



“You know,” Blake said. “Who had the best gift.”



“It’s okay,” Yang winked. “You can tell ‘em it’s me.”



Ruby looked around to all three of her teammates, her eyes wide and confused.

“Who… had the best gift? Hmm…”



She thought and thought and thought, and the other three leaned in, eager for the verdict. At last, Ruby reopened her eyes and beamed a wide, blinding smile.

“It’s a tie!” she exclaimed. She jumped forward, somehow managing to wrap all three of them in an exuberant embrace and tackling them onto Blake’s bed. She laughed merrily and snuggled against them all.



“You guys all got me the best gifts! My team is the best gift ever! You guys are all I could ever ask for!”



The three older girls shared glances, silently admitting it had been foolish of them to make this into a competition. And even more foolish to have thought Ruby would actually chose favorites.

They were all more than happy to accept this answer.

Weiss, Blake, and Yang all wrapped their arms around Ruby. Yang kissed the top of her head, and Weiss and Blake each took one of her cheeks.

“Happy birthday, Ruby.”

Ruby giggled and squeezed them tighter.

“Thanks! I love you guys!”



There was a collective sigh and a contagious smile.

“We love you, too.”
