Jaune smiled as the door opened and he was greeted by Ruby on the other side. She called out his name, leaping up and embracing him, squeezing him tight and almost crushing his presents between their bodies.

He didn’t mind, though. He was happy to embrace her, squeezing their bodies together and enjoying her warmth.

“Get a room, you two!” Yang’s voice shouted, and Ruby and Jaune’s face both turned red at her teasing. Slowly Ruby pulled away, sliding her hands along his body for a moment to just feel him…

“H-hey,” Jaune smiled. “Merry Christmas.”

“Y-you too. Merry Christmas.” Ruby took some of the presents from Jaune and scampered off, leaving Jaune behind as his face continued to burn a dark shade of red.

He had known Ruby and Yang for a long, long time. Ever since high school. Ruby was his best friend, but you couldn’t have a best friend who was the opposite sex without getting lots of teasing.

And Yang was happy to tease the both of them. Since day one, she had asking when the two would get married. Why did it still get to him?

Maybe because some small part of Jaune really did want to be more than friends with Ruby, but that didn’t really matter, did it? His feelings for her didn’t matter if she didn’t feel the same way…

Ruby Rose was in love with Jaune Arc.

She fell for him the moment he helped her off of the floor back at Beacon High School. She fell for him, and that little crush she had for the man grew into a deep, almost maddening love.

A love she had tried to keep buried for years. Even when they were growing up, even when Pyrrha became his girlfriend and stole his first kiss, even when she was consoling him after he and Pyrrha broke up…

She loved him.

But what did it matter if she loved him when he didn’t like her the same way?

“Hey, Arc. You’re not taking advantage of poor, innocent Ruby, are you?” Yang teased, walking towards the two.

“Yang,” Ruby groaned.

“What? Just looking out for my little sister,” Yang teased, messing with Ruby’s hair, earning a glare from the dark-haired woman.

“We’re fine, Yang,” Jaune sighed.

“Mmhm,” Yang chuckled. “I hope so. I need to go pick up some stuff from dad’s, so that means you two are going to be all alone. Don’t tear up the house, okay?”

“We’re going to just drink sooo much alcohol,” Ruby replied, rolling her eyes as Yang snickered.

“Don’t do anything I wouldn’t, sis. Later!” Yang waved goodbye to the two as she made her way to the door, leaving them behind as Ruby silently sighed in relief.

Good. She really didn’t want to have to deal with more teasing.

The door closed behind her and Jaune and Ruby shared a glance. “I am so sorry,” she sighed. “She’s just… you know.”

“I know,” he chuckled. “How’s setting up for the party going?”

“Awful,” Ruby groaned. “Yang was out with her friends last night, and I got… a little lazy watching Christmas movies, so we didn’t really set anything up, plus the food’s not ready…”

“Well, good thing I offered to help.” He rolled up his sleeves, and Ruby glanced at his strong arms, briefly imagining them holding her down, before he spoke. “Let’s get to work.”

Jaune helped Ruby get everything ready for the party tonight. They made a good team, just as they always did, ready to help and support the other as they worked throughout the quaint home. Jaune was going through boxes, finishing decorating the inside of the house, before he noticed something.

“Miracle Mistletoe?” Jaune chuckled, holding up a box. “What is this?” He read a small passage on the green box. “‘True love will be found under this mistletoe, a kiss on the lips will seal with their hearts and fate.’”

“Oh, that’s just some dumb mistletoe Yang bought last year. She never even bothered setting it up.”

“Doesn’t even rhyme.” The two chuckled together, before Jaune shrugged and he opened the box to set it up.

“You’re actually setting it up?”

“Why not? Could be funny!” Jaune replied, before he found some tape. He pulled out the mistletoe and some string, before he walked over to a nearby chair and stepped onto it, standing on it as he began to tape the mistletoe to the ceiling.

Ruby watched him, only to notice the chair was shaking under Jaune’s weight. “Hey, careful!” She ran over, grabbing onto the chair to keep it stable. “Jaune, get off. I don’t want you to fall.”

“Right, sorry!” Jaune stepped off of the chair, the mistletoe hanging over their heads as the blond sighed. “Sorry about that. Should have been more careful.”

“It’s okay. Just don’t want you to become the new ‘Crater Face.’” The two smiled at one another as Jaune’s eyes drifted down from Ruby’s bright, silver eyes towards her supple, full breasts. He blushed, quickly looking back into her eyes, but they were even more distracting than her chest.

How he loved her eyes. They were so unique. Exotic. Bright and shimmering and radiant…

Ruby stared back, captivated by the blue oceans in each of his eyes. Shining and entrancing as her lips curved into a small smile.

“Merry Christmas,” she whispered.

“Merry Christmas,” he replied. “So, what did you get me?” he asked.

The mistletoe hung above them, swaying in an ethereal wind as long buried feelings began to bubble to the surface. Ruby’s tongue darted over her lips, licking them, making them shimmer as Jaune’s eyes slowly turned down to stare at her soft, full lips.

“This,” she replied, placing her hands on his shoulders and standing on the tips of her toes. Without warning, she kissed his lips, pressing their mouths together as Ruby gave her first kiss to Jaune.

He didn’t move. His eyes widened. His heart skipped a beat. Then Ruby pulled away, her eyes widening as her face turned as red as her hair.

“I… I am so sorry! I-I don’t know why I did that, I-mmph!”

Jaune pulled her into a kiss. Their lips met again and any reservations they had about kissing were thrown away. Their lips met and their mouths opened as they kissed one another, tongues wrestling as they moaned against the other.

Jaune pulled Ruby deeper into the kiss, their mouths opened at the same time as Jaune’s tongue slipped into her mouth. She suckled on it as her hands clawed at his shirt, pulling at it as feelings burned hot between them.

He pressed his leg against her body, right between her legs, and she moaned at the touch, grinding her crotch against his thigh. Her body was burning, as her arms wrapped around his head, her hands stroking his golden hair as their tongues fought.

They pulled apart, staring into the other’s eyes as Ruby felt her body shaking. Her toes curled, her nails dug into his skin, before they kissed again. Ruby’s breasts were sandwiched between their bodies, before they pulled apart again and Ruby’s hand pulled at his shirt.

His clothes came off, falling to the ground before Jaune slipped his hands under Ruby and lifted her up. He carried her, bridal style as she stroked his bare chest.

“Take me to my bedroom. There’s something I wanna show you,” she moaned. “

Jaune obeyed, carrying her to her room, and as soon as they were inside, he laid Ruby’s body onto the bed. He then watched as Ruby began to take off her clothes, practically throwing them off. No foreplay. No teasing.

Her clothes fell to the floor and she opened her legs, revealing her wet pussy, waiting for Jaune. Her fingers brushed against the wet slit, smiling at the young man as she moaned quietly.

“I’ve wanted this for so long. I-I love you, Jaune. I always have. Ever since we were kids.”

“I love you too, Ruby. I’m sorry we had to wait this long to-”

“Now’s your chance to make it up to me,” Ruby replied, licking her lips as Jaune pulled at his pants, throwing them to the ground with his boxers as he exposed his thick, hard cock. Ruby stared at the shaft, licking her lips at the sight as he got on top of her.

They kissed again, before Ruby pulled away and moaned as his dick slipped into her pussy. He filled her wet, waiting cunt with his shaft, letting her pussy lips tremble and tighten around his shaft. He began to move his hips, slowly, making sure not to hurt the young woman as her hands grabbed at his body.

She was panting, taking long, deep breaths as he pushed back and forth. The bed was shaking under them as Jaune thrusted inside of her, more and more inches slipping inside of her as her legs wrapped around his body.

“Harder,” she growled. He kept going, pounding her pussy as her breasts bounced between them. “Yes, yes!”

Waves of pleasure shot through her body, warming her soul as her eyes rolled into her skull for a moment. Jaune moved down, kissing her neck, suckling on it as she moaned loudly. His lips popped off of her skin, before he licked her soft skin.

“Jaune…” She moaned out his name, before she closed her eyes and squeezed his shaft tighter. She flexed her muscles, embracing his shaft in a warm and wet hug. She made sure her pussy was tight enough for him as he continued to fuck her. The bed banged against the wall and the springs groaned under them…

Ruby’s pussy juices were squirting out of her cunt, feeling his shaft sliding inside of her. Her juices spilled onto the bed as his precum filled her pussy. She felt the inner walls of her womanhood being coated by his juices, further lubing her pussy as he moved faster.

They were lost in the other. The pleasure was overcoming them, taking their minds as their moans rang out together.

This was all they had ever wanted. The love they had hid from each other was freed, and years of built up left their bodies going wild against the other. They kissed again, messily as one of Jaune’s hands grabbed Ruby’s breast, squeezing and kneading it as he stared into her silver eyes.

“I love you,” he panted, his hot breath stroking her face.

“I-I love you too!” she mewled, feeling his cock throbbing inside of her. “Ah, a-are you going to cum?” He nodded his head, before he kissed her cheek, moving his head down to kiss whatever part of her he could reach. “Then c-cuh, cum in m-meee! Please! Please, cum in me! I-”

Fantasies when she was younger. They were married with children. Living out the perfect life together. Her arms embraced him as her legs stroked his back.

“I wah, want you! Cum in me! Cum in me! Cuh, cah, aahhh!”

Ruby Rose came on Jaune’s cock, and he fired his sperm inside of her, filling her with his seed as their bodies clung to one another. His seed coated her walls, before spilling out and staining the bed as he kissed lips once more.

The two took haggard breaths as Jaune’s dick throbbed inside of her. He emptied his load in her as she moaned, kissing his face again.

“Mooore…”

“Ruby, Jaune, I’m back!” Yang pushed the door open and walked inside of the house, looking for her little sister and their mutual friend. “Hello?” No answer. “Anyone?” Still nothing. “What the hell? Where is everyone?”

She heard a banging sound and she raised her brow. It was coming from Ruby’s room. She walked up the stairs, heading towards the bedroom as the bang was heard again.

“Ruby?”

She moved closer to the bedroom, calling out for her sister, but she didn’t get a response. Yang pressed her ear against the door, listening to the quiet whimpers of her sister. Her eyes widened and Yang pushed the door open, stepping inside.

“Ruby?!” Yang found her sister lying on her bed, her blanket over her. Sweat fell from the young woman’s forehead and she looked incredibly red. She was panting as she smiled at Yang.

“H-hey, Sis.”

“Ruby, w-what the hell happened to you?” Yang moved closer, only for Ruby to hold up a hand.

“D-don’t! I-I think I’m coming down with something. I felt really sick all of a sudden…”

“Where’s Jaune?”

“He went back to his place to find some medicine for me…”

“Is there anything I can do?” Yang frowned, looking her sister over.

“Can you finish putting up the decorations? I’m sure Jaune can help when he gets back, a-and maybe I’ll be okay enough to join the party?”

“Yeah, maybe,” Yang replied, placing her hands on her hips. Her eyes slid over her sister’s room, before turning around. “Okay. I’ll finish the decorations. You get some rest, okay?”

“I will.” Yang closed the door behind her and Ruby held her breath. She said nothing, staring at the shut door, before she let out a relieved sigh and Jaune crawled out from under her bed.

“There are a lot of soda bottles under here,” he groaned, pushing one away as his naked body crawled out from under her bed. “Think she noticed?”

Ruby shook her head. “No, I think we’re good.” She let out another sigh, before she laid on her back, resting on her damp bed. “You got under their fast.”

“Thanks. It’s a gift,” he chuckled, before he sat on the bed and leaned down to kiss Ruby’s lips. She returned the gesture, their tongues wrestling for a moment, before they pulled apart. “That was… amazing.”

“Yeah, it was,” Ruby smiled. “I loved it.” Her hand touched his, fingers stroking his as she whispered. “Wanna go again?”

Jaune grinned ear to ear, but before he could say anything, Yang’s voice called out to them.

“Ruby! Why is Jaune’s shirt on the floor?!”

Ruby and Jaune’s eyes both widened, before they heard the loud thumping of Yang racing upstairs. The two shared a glance, each of them naked as the day they were both, both blushing as they waited for the inevitable.

Yang wasn’t going to let them live this one down.
