Ruby dragged me into the hallway, taking us towards the RWBY dorm.
"Why did you bring me all the way here?" I laughed.
Ruby sat me down on the floor, crossing my legs.
"Do you have your dorm key?" she asked me.
I pulled the key out of my pocket.
"Yeah, why?" I asked.
Using her semblance, Ruby snatched the key from my hand and left the room. After just a few seconds Ruby came back with my guitar and amp, putting the instrument in my hands.
"What? My guitar?"
Ruby pulled out a small music stand, and put some sheet music on it in front of me.
"I had that band help me write this, and I need your help to play it," said Ruby.
I looked over the music, taking in how the chords blended together, as well as the words written for it. I saw Ruby close her eyes and sit on her knees in front of me. I set my hands in the right positions and began to play. The melody was very sad sounding, but conveyed a sort of hope...
"I can see every tear you've cried
Like an ocean in your eyes
All the pain and the scars have left you cold," sang Ruby.
This song...
"I can see all the fears you face
Through a storm that never goes away,
Don't believe all the lies that you've been told,"
It's... about me.
"I'll be right here now
To hold you when the sky falls down
I will always
Be the one who took your place
When the rain falls
I won't let go
I'll be right here"
No, it's about us. My eyes focused on her, and somehow my fingers still knew exactly what to play.
"I will show you the way back home
Never leave you all alone
I will stay until the morning comes"
Hope...
"I'll show you how to live again
And heal the brokenness within
Let me love you when you come undone"
Love...?
"I'll be right here now
To hold you when the sky falls down
I will always
Be the one who took your place
When the rain falls
I won't let go
I'll be right here"
Hope... that's something I haven't had in a long time... at least until I met her.
"When daybreak seems so far away
Reach for my hand
When hope and peace begin to fray
Still I will stand
Right here now
To hold you when the sky falls down
I will always
Be the one who took your place
When the rain falls
I won't let go
When the rain falls
I won't let go
I'll be right here" we sang together.
I finished playing the song, my heart pounding in my chest. Does... does she...?
"Ruby?" I said, breaking the new silence.
"I had some help writing that to really prove that I will always be here for you," said Ruby.
Her silver eyes, her beautiful silver eyes have been burned in my memory since I first met her. I set my guitar out of the way, and moved the music stand.
"Ruby, my parents named me Halcyon because I was the hope of their lives," I said.
Ruby scooted closer to me, resting her hand on my knee. Love... that's what I've needed, is someone I've been willing to share my life with. Someone to share my pain with.
"You're the hope of mine, Ruby. And for that, I love you more than you could know," I said.
Ruby's eyes lit up, and I could see tears forming in her eyes. We both lunged for each other, and I took Ruby's lips on mine. We kissed like it was our last chance, and I knew for a fact that was the truth. I love Ruby Rose.
"Halcyon, I love you too,"
