You wake up in Beacon's infirmary, and you see Ruby sleeping in a chair next to your hospital bed.

You in your head: Has she even left my side since I passed out?
How long have I even been out?

You begin looking around for your duster and see it hanging on a rack near the door.
You wanted to get into it to grab your phone but you feel like you don't have the strength to make it to the door alone so you give up and lay back down when you see that your phone, scroll, and wallet are on a desk next to your bed.

You: Oh, thank God.

You reach for your phone and pull up the instrumental to a song but before you press play you wake up Ruby.

You: psst! Ruby, hey psssst! Ruby! Ruuuuby, c'mon, wake up!

Ruby: Mmph! Five more minutes dad...

You: No Ruby, wake up its me.

Ruby: huh...what're you...? Wait (Y/N)?
(Gasp) You're awake!

You: And now you are too.
I'm sorry for waking you up, but there's something I wanted to talk to you about...
... At the docks, we kissed...

Ruby blushes a little bit upon hearing you say this.

You: ...and I wanted to male sure we were on the same page.
Ruby, do you... actually like me?

Ruby: Well, I've liked you for a while now but was afraid to tell you...
When you saved me from falling back at the entrance exam, and I looked into your eyes... I saw the eyes of someone who wouldn't stand by and watch innocent people get hurt.
To be honest, at the time I wasn't sure if you were just repaying me for unlocking your aura or not but, as time went on and I learned more about you it became more and more clear that you didn't do it because of that.
You did it because it was the right thing to do....
Which brings me to my question.
Do you really like me back, or were you just being nice when you said you loved me?

You: Well Ruby, that's part of the reason why I woke you up.
I told you that I only sing when I need to vent my emotions so,...

You then hit play on the song instrumental that you had pulled up.


You: Every brick and every stone of the world we made
Will come undone if I
If I can feel you here with me whoa oh
In my sleep I call your name
But when I wake I need to touch your face
'Cause I
I need to feel you here with me whoa oh
You can stop the aching
'Cause you're the one I need

I will burn, I will burn for you
With fire and fury
Fire and fury
My heart hurts, my heart hurts for you
You're love burns within me
With fire and fury whoa oh

If I freeze you are the flame
You melt my heart, I washed in your rain, I know
You'll always have the best of me whoa oh
Destiny's got a hold on me
Guess I never knew love like love knows me
'Cause I
I need to feel you here with me

I will burn, I will burn for you
With fire and fury
Fire and fury
My heart hurts, my heart hurts for you
You're love burns within me
With fire and fury whoa oh

Ruby sees the lyrics on your phone and decides to join in.

You+Ruby: Let it all fall down to dust
Can't break the two of us
We are safe in the strength of love

You: You can stop the aching
'Cause you're the one I need

You+Ruby: I will burn, I will burn for you
With fire and fury
Fire and fury
My heart hurts, my heart hurts for you
You're love burns within me
It burns, it burns, it burns, it burns
