Since today’s prompt is wedding...
Wouldn't that be cute if we got a Rosegarden proposal scene in the epilogue?
I’m one of those people who don’t expect to see Ruby and Oscar being married and having kids (tho, I won’t lie, I’d die on the spot) at the end of RWBY. I’d be satisfied with a cute proposal.
Where would it be?
I see: sunset. Definitely. Or sunrise... either one is fine. On Patch, that’s for sure. Oh, and a time skip of course! 3-5 years would be good. A scenery very similar to this one:
Only the two of them of them. It’s a very sweet, important but private moment.
Who would propose?
Judging by this scene:
Great minds think alike. At first I thought: Oscar. Imagine this cute, awkward, sweet boy trying to propose and Ruby, obviously, not suspecting a thing. Only blushing while her boyfriend tells her how much she means to him. Absolute cuteness overload. But then, I read this post and said: Both is good. Very good.
How would it look like?
I still think Oscar would try to propose first. He’d begin his speech. A bit awkward, but honest and very romantic. Except, Ruby would be getting more and more nervous. Blushing heavily, realizing (once again) how much he means to her. She wants to be with him. I wouldn’t say she knows what he wants to ask her about, but she knows what she wants. And just when Oscar is about to ask this one, final question, she bursts out:
Ruby: WILL YOU MARRY ME?
Oscar: ... What?
Ruby: I-I... I know it’s kinda out of nowher a-and I’m definitely acting SUPER fast... It’s kinda my thing after all, but I-
Oscar: No, Ruby I-
Ruby: But you started saying all those things a-and I just had to... I mean, I never thought abou- I MEAN, I DID, just... I know, maybe I’m rushing things a little...
Oscar: Ruby, I-I know, but I wan-
Ruby: But I want this! Maybe not now, I MEAN- If you want then sure, why not?! I just... YOU WANTED TO ASKE ME SOMETHING! I-I’m so sorry for that! I just go excited a-and nervous and you said that- I’m rushing it. Aren’t I? I-I’m-
Oscar: I wanted to ask you the same thing!
Ruby: ... Really?
Oscar: Yes, really. I-I mean, I have this ring and-
Ruby: And I ruined it...
Oscar: WHAT? NO!
Ruby: I’m so SO SORRY!
Oscar: No, don’t! Listen, I... I did not expect that. I’ll admit. But, like I said, I love everything about you. I love that you sometimes act and speak without thinking. And the fact that you asked me to marry you... I love that. I love y- Are you crying?
Ruby: ... No... No, I-I...
Oscar: No, please, don’t cry! There’s no reason to cry! I-
Ruby: So... You want me to... Marry you?
Oscar: Y-Yes, I... I mean, I guess your proposal means “yes”?
Ruby: Pffff... Yes. Yes, it means “yes”!
Oscar: That’s a relief...
Ruby: BUT-
Oscar: Hmm?
Ruby: Y-You’re sayng “yes” too, right?
Oscar: ... Yes, yes I do.
And then he puts a ring on her finger. They kiss and hug, looking at the sunrise... Or sunset (◠‿◠)

Day 3: Magic eyes. Promise me.
Warning: If you don’t want to see our babies cry, maybe you shouldn’t read it XD
- Sooooooo… you’re not really a party person too, huh?
- Well, I like parties, but… - he turned around to look at a giant ballroom filled with people – Not the fancy ones, I’m afraid.
Ruby chuckled. It felt good, having someone to talk about struggles of not liking parties and other sumptuous events. Especially the dancing part. Well, Weiss said Oscar was a surprisingly good dancer. Not as good as she, Jaune or Ren, but still good… Definitely better than Blake. Ruby kinda wanted to see him dancing. She wouldn’t ask him to do that, not mention being his partner. She was just curious.
- Yang said you don’t like dancing? Is that your biggest problem?
- You saw me on practice today, right? – she asked mockingly
- It wasn’t that bad!
- … - she looked at him reproachfully
- What?
- You hesitated.
- No! No I-
- UGH! – Ruby buried her face in her hands while Oscar turned away, a little embarrassed - I just hope Jaune’s okay…
- You did step on him…
- I told Weiss this practice was a bad idea! And I can’t believe my own sister made me wear these again!
Oscar looked down. He could only imagine what she was going through. She looked pretty though. Well, Ruby was pretty. She only looked taller which, considering his height, wasn’t really that good. He just caught up to her!
- I’ve seen him dancing with Nora earlier. I think he’s fine. Besides, you can take them off, you know?
- Huh?
- You’re not dancing right now and – he looked around the snow-covered balcony – we’re the only ones here, so…
- Oscar, you’re a genius! – she shouted happily and immediately started taking off her shoes – I mean, they are only suitable for throwing them at someone! I just have to take a swing and-
- Woah, easy there! I surrender!
They both burst out laughing. Not too loud, they didn’t want to attract the guest’s attention.
- Yang told me she actually met someone who fought using heels!
- Seriously?! I guess anything can be a weapon nowadays.
- No offence, mister, but you’re basically fighting with a wooden stick.
- You’d be surprised what this thing can do! - he pulled out the collapsed cane - I’m pretty sure I’d be dead withou-
He stopped and looked at Ruby. She was smiling slightly, but he noticed how her silver eyes started filling with tears.
- I’m sorry, I shouldn’t-
- No, no! I-I’m fine!
- I’m sorry. I know you’ve been worried…
- You explained everything. There’s no reason to-
A loud laugh from the ballroom interrupted her. They immediately turned around, but there was no reason to be alarmed.
- It sounds like they’re having fun.
- Yeah, fun…
- What’s wrong? - he asked worriedly
- No, it’s just… I don’t know how to say it.
- You know you can tell me everything – he said calmly and got close enough that their shoulders touched slightly.
- Should we even have this party?
- W-Well, we won. Isn’t that a reason to celebrate?
- But at what cost?
- Ruby, we knew people would die. You saw Salem’s army. It was inevitable.
- But we could have saved them! - she replied furiously, moving away from the railing.
- Don’t tell me you’re still blaming yourself.
- I’m not! – Ruby took a few steps away and turned her back on him.
She was crying. She sounded mad, but she was crying. Oscar, though worried, remained calm.
- But you sound like you do.
- I’m a huntress, Oscar. I have Silver Eyes. I was destined to save people and I failed! I failed at Beacon, I failed at Haven and I-
- You didn’t – he walked to her and placed his hand on Ruby’s shoulder. Oscar tried to get a good look on her face, but she turned her head every time he tried to do this – You petrified a Wyvern and a Leviathan. You saved everyone at the farm. You won at Heaven. And what you did in Atlas…
- Exactly! I was lucky! Every single time. It was luck, not me! I can’t use them properly. I-I don’t know what’s wrong with me - she drowned out her last words covering her mouth with her hand.
- Nothing. Nothing’s wrong. You just have to give yourself some credit. You’re a great leader and an amazing friend.
- I’m not… I’m not like my mom…
- I didn’t say anything about your mom, I-
- You think I don’t know what you all expect from me?! – she turned to him furiously. Her eyes flooded with tears - Ever since I was little, everyone has told me how similar I am to her. I have her hair, her smile, her laugh, her way of speaking, her… I have her eyes! I’m sure Ozpin accepted me to Beacon only because of that…
He didn’t know what to say. He felt, deep down, she was right, but he was also sure she was wrong. No one thought about her like that. He certainly didn’t.
- You’re saying that because of Salem.
- What? – she asked, clearly shocked by his words
- I know what happened in Ironwood’s office. I know she was there. What she told you.
- Of course you know… Of course – she moved her head again.
- Ruby… You have to talk with your teammates.
- NO I DON’T!
The sudden flash of light and Ruby's scream surprised Oscar so much that he immediately pulled away. But no one beside him noticed that. Everyone was focused on music and dancing.
Ruby started blinking and breathing heavily. She tried to apologize, but she couldn't say a word, choking on her own tears.
- Ruby…
- Don’t! – her eyes glowed again
- It’s okay. Calm down. Hey, look at me. Just… Look at me.
She couldn’t. She tried to concentrate, but her eyes kept glowing. She couldn’t control it and Oscar didn’t know what to do. Ozpin was silent.
- I’ll go get Yang.
- NO! – she clutched his arm tightly and her eyes glowed again – You can’t! No one can see me like that!
- But you need help!
- I don’t- I don’t need it! – she pulled him away from the entrance as far as possible – That happened before. I-I… I just need to calm down…
- But you can’t! If not Yang, I’ll get Weiss or Qrow, or Jaune…
- No! No one, I said! I can’t worry them… And you… You shouldn’t see me like this…
She fell on her knees, still holding Oscar’s arm. He sat next to her, not knowing what to do.
- Ruby… Ruby they’ve seen you like that already. They are already worried… I’m worried.
- No… I didn’t… I’m a leader-
- Ruby…
- I’m supposed to be strong! I can’t let them-
- They know. You hid it from them, but they know. Deep inside. You have to tell them…
- That wouldn’t change anything! If I don’t know how it works, how are they supposed to… They won’t understand… - she took her hand from his shoulder.
- But I do.
Ruby looked at him. Pity. The only thing she didn’t wanted to see. Pity. His hazel eyes filled with tears… Because of her.
- I know we’re not as close, but… We both play bigger role in all of this. Me as the next Ozma, you with your Silver Eyes… Actually, - he chuckled - my eyes…
- W-What about them?
- They… They glow too, don’t they? They turn gold… For a second, when he…
- Yes, yes… Very… I like when it happens… It’s very pretty.
It was hard for both of them to speak. Ruby’s eyes weren’t active, but she couldn’t stop crying. Oscar too. However, he was more worried than sad.
- The thing is, I’m never alone. Even when he was gone, he was still watching. You can’t be alone in moments like this one…
- But-
- No. You can’t. Even if it’s only me, you need to have someone with you.
She threw her arms around his neck, almost knocking him over. At first, he was taken aback, but quickly embraced her.
- Please, don’t tell anyone about it - she whispered through tears.
- Ruby-
- Please. I’ll tell them. Someday, I will… But please, not now. Promise me you won’t tell them.
- I… I can’t promise you that.
- Please, Oscar! I’m begging you…
- …
- Please, – she grabbed his jacket – promise me that…
- I… I won’t tell them.
- Thank you! Thank you so much, Oscar!
- Yeah… You’re welcome – he replied sadly.
He hated lying.
