I was walking around Beacon.  Until I heard a voice.

Ruby: Y/n wait up!

I didn't stop but no surprise Ruby caught up anyway.

Y/n: What do you want?

Ruby: I want to earn your forgiveness! I don't care what I have to do. Just name it and I'll do it!

Y/n: My forgiveness is not easy to get. And you have nothing to give me.

I started to walk away.

Ruby: Y/n!

I turned around.

Ruby: Fight me in miss goodwitch's class. If I win you have to forgive me!

Y/n: Very well.

Later that day we were in class and Ruby held her end of the bargin. And we were ready for a fight.  I purposely set my DCM to stun for her.

She charged for me and I easily dodged and hit her with a stun round. To my surprise she got back up and tried again. Once more I knocked her down with a stun round. But like last time she got back up.  She kept charging and kept getting knocked back down.

Y/n: Stay down Ruby.

Ruby weakly: I can't. I won't. I want you to forgive me. I'll die before I give up.

And so far her words were seemingly true. She dropped her weapon but didn't give up. Instead she slowly walked over to me. She tried a really slow and weak punch. It hit my chest but I didn't even budge. She fell down and I caught her. It seemed all those stun rounds caught up with her. 

Y/n: Miss goodwitch. I'm taking Ruby to the infirmary.

Goodwitch: Go ahead Y/n.

I carried Ruby to the infirmary and laid her down on a bed.  I went back to class. On my way back I remember what my pop said to me before.

( Rex: Remember Y/n. You can tell how much someone cares by how hard they work for it.)

I knew then what was going to happen. Ruby worked so hard and fought until she couldn't anymore. She passed out trying to get my forgiveness.  She is sorry for what happened I can tell.

So after class I paid her a visit while she was resting.  I didn't even wear my armor for this.

Ruby: Y/n.

Y/n: Hey kiddo.

Ruby: I lost.

Y/n: I know you did. But. I learnt that if someone tries hard enough it shows how badly they want it. And since you almost killed yourself. I can tell your sorry. So I have come to tell you. I forgive you Ruby.

Her eyes lit up and she grew a wide smile.

Ruby: Yay! *grabs Y/n and hugs him* Thank you!

Y/n: *chuckles and hugs back* Your welcome kiddo.

We parted from our hug.

Y/n: Come on. Hop on my back. Let's get you to your dorm.

Ruby happily hopped on my back. She Nuzzled her head into my shoulder.  I walked with Ruby on my back to her dorm.  Once we arrived Ruby hopped off my back.

Ruby: Thanks Y/n.

Y/n: Anytime Ruby.

Ruby went into her dorm and you could her scream happily about me forgiving her.  I saw Weiss quickly open the door and close it just as fast now on my side of the door.

Y/n: A little energetic isn't she?

Weiss: Hi Y/n. And yes she is.

Y/n: Your welcome to walk with me to my dorm. By the time you get back she will probably already be passed out.

Weiss: Good idea.

Weiss accompanied me to my dorm room. I saw her stop and look off into space.

Y/n: You okay Weiss?

Weiss's face went red and she looked at me. It was very cute.

Weiss: Yeah.

Y/n: Okay. See you later.

Weiss: Bye.

I walked In and noticed a letter was slipped under the door. I opened it to see it was from pop.

Pop's letter

Hey Y/n. I wanted to see how you were at beacon now that you probably settled in. I hope your making new friends and having a fun time. I also hope your not slacking off in class because of these new friends. But I'm sure your not because I know you well enough. Everyone misses you here. Everyone asks if I had heard from you yet. Maybe I will soon.  Love pop.

I wrote a letter back and went to Ozpin's office.

Ozpin: Y/n. What do I owe the pleasure.

Y/n: You would know this. Is there a mail system here. I want to deliver a letter to my pop.

Ozpin: Just leave it on my desk and I'll get it to your village.

Y/n: Thanks headmaster.

Ozpin: It's the least I can do considering I opened old wounds.

Y/n: It happens sir.

I walked back to my dorm and called it a day.
