It was finally time.

A week had passed, Pyrrha and Ruby had actually prepared for the day this time around, plans were arranged, gifts were made, and to say that they were both excited was an understatement.

The date had been fantastic; the two had gone to the first place they'd ever gone on a date to. It was a very, VERY fancy Mistralian restaurant, one which Ruby may have chosen originally on Weiss' suggestion for something familiar to Pyrrha. Unlike their first date where both were nervous wrecks, Ruby especially, they genuinely enjoyed themselves.

Now, it was the part that Pyrrha was looking forward the most – okay, perhaps not the most since she was looking forward to the entire day, but she was looking forward to it quite a bit! While Pyrrha may have had only a week to prepare something, it was time well spent and she felt considerably proud of herself.

"Happy belated Valentine's Day, Ruby." Pyrrha produced from behind her back a big box much to Ruby's confusion. "Go on, open it." Pyrrha felt her lips stretch into an impossibly wide smile as Ruby opened it.

Confusion in those silver eyes melted into wonder and joy as Pyrrha watched her girlfriend reverently pulled the contents out.

If there was one thing that Ruby loved to work with, it was Crescent Rose. Pyrrha had learned her lesson from before about trying to modify her girlfriend's weapon, so it wasn't a modification. Rather, it was something that was far more useful than that.

The highest quality tools that Pyrrha could possibly find for High-Caliber Sniper-Scythe maintenance with Ruby's and Pyrrha's emblems embossed on them.

"I love youuuuu~!" The bone crushing hug and heated kiss told Pyrrha that she had most definitely made the right choice.

"I love you too, my love." Pyrrha finally got out after the two broke apart for air. The huge dopey smile that was pulling at the corners of Ruby's mouth made the taller teen just feel so happy. So when it disappeared in a huge 'O' of surprise, Pyrrha was already wishing it was back.

"I almost forgot!" Ruby took a few steps back before starting to rummage through her back pouch. "I know they are here somewhere, ugh, stupid girl pockets!" Pyrrha patiently waited until Ruby found whatever she was looking for a few minutes later. "Ta-da! Happy late Valentine's Day, Pyrrha!" It took Pyrrha a moment to recognize what Ruby was holding out to her.

The paired objects were raised circles, maybe an inch thick and made out of some type of metal. While identical they were covered in a matching intricate, curving design that seemed oddly familiar, which took Pyrrha a moment to place why they were familiar. It was a seamless merging of their two emblems; Pyrrha's sword and shield and Ruby's rose. "Are these…?"

"Yup!" Ruby nodded enthusiastically before forcing one into Pyrrha's hand. "Since we wear our symbols pretty much the same place on our belt, why not have matching ones? OH!" Ruby's silver eyes had a distinct look of glee in them. "Try using your semblance on it!"

The tall redhead didn't question it, but put a small bit of her semblance into the belt latch only for it to spring open. It was a locket and inside was a picture that Pyrrha had never seen before. The photo was the two of them intertwined in sleep during what Pyrrha knew must have been Dustmas eve.

"I, uh, really dunno how Yang got it, but I saw it when I had to use her scroll and thought it'd be pretty neat to have it, um…" Ruby nervously fidgeted with her hands. "D-do you like it?"

"It's lovely, Ruby!" The taller girl tightly pulled her girlfriend against her and have her a long, lingering kiss. "Thank you."

The goofy smile spread on Ruby's face. "I'm really, really glad it worked out! I thought that it wouldn't and when I made the prototype it kinda exploded when I tried to get the locket bit to open with magnets but t-mmph!"

Pyrrha silenced her talkative rose with her lips.

Like all good things, the day finally came to an end, the two girls trudging slowly to bed after a very, very long and fun day.

I'm going to be the little spoon tonight.

It was a decision Pyrrha had immediately made to herself the moment they had agreed on postponing it a week. Ruby loves being the big spoon, so there should be no issue. That was what Pyrrha had thought at least. Problematically, Ruby had fallen asleep the moment her head touched the pillows and before she could be the big spoon.

It took a lot of awkward positioning – especially trying to keep from waking up Ruby – but Pyrrha made sure that when she fell asleep, her girlfriend was definitely the big spoon.

Which was why when she woke up to use the bathroom she was really confused as to how the positions had reversed.

How did that happen? Pyrrha shook her head, her mind was already made up: Pyrrha was going to be the little spoon tonight for her girlfriend, no matter what! Some careful positioning later and Pyrrha was back where she wanted to be for the night and dozing off.

The tall redhead found herself being pulled back from the realm of dreams as a comfortable weight came to rest against her front. It was a normal feeling for Pyrrha; that comfortable presence was Ruby, naturally. Except, Ruby was the big spoon so how could she be in front of me?

Opening sleepy eyes, Pyrrha found Ruby in front of her again, nestled against her chest. However, the act of rousing herself had an unintended effect of causing Ruby to turn over. "Um, did I wake you up?"

Pyrrha found herself shaking her head in a white lie as a thought occurred to her: does Ruby want to be the little spoon tonight? "No, uh, Ruby I thought you liked being the big spoon?"

Ruby stared at her curiously. "Yeah…?"

"Oh. Um. Do you want to be the big spoon tonight then?"

"Uh." Ruby suddenly looked incredibly embarrassed much to Pyrrha's confusion. "I thought you wanted to be the big spoon…"

Suddenly it was making sense to the semi-conscious Pyrrha, the reason for why she kept ending up as the big spoon over the course of the night. Ruby was trying to make her partner happy, just like Pyrrha was trying to do. "You can be the big spoon tonight Ruby."

"But I thought-"

"Nope!" Pyrrha had set her mind to being the little spoon and that was the end of the discussion. "No if-ands-or-buts!" Yet it was clear to Pyrrha that Ruby was still protesting. "If you want to be the little spoon, you can tomorrow night."

Ruby raised a finger, her mouth opening and closing before silently climbing over her larger half and gripping around her stomach. "I love you."

"I love you too, my rose."

AU: It only took something like two weeks for the actual Valentines special to come out. Sorry! X_X Hope it came out okay, I feel like I rushed the end a bit.

Ruby has literally no clue how Yang got the photo, but Pyrrha knows perfectly well why Yang was in the kitchen. Stealin' the cookies.

Right-o, I'm in a slightly better headspace this week. Dilation finally is going to go back to often updated, (maybe even a chapter tomorrow for it or early in the week) Acceptance's new chapter got sent into editing on Friday so new chapter of that hopefully on March 4th! Hopefully!

Thank you all for the support you guys and girls have given me. It really means a lot to me ^_^ I could ramble and continue to ramble until the cows come home today but I think I've done enough super long messages for a break or two somewhere in there :P

Thank you for reading and have a great day! :D
