-Raven Pov-

I finish my talk with Summer, and then I walk over to (y/n) nervously. He stands looking at Arlan, and then he gives a small, which Arlan. I smile at the sight, happy to know he's starting to make amends with his brother. Looking around, I see Qrow talking with Morrigan, happily bantering with her. Before I have time to keep looking around, I find myself in front of (y/n). He smiles at Arlan, and then Arlan walks off to give the two of us a moment together. Taking nervous breaths, I look into his eyes, and then take one last deep breath. " I have something I need to tell you,"  say, and then he nods.

" What is it," he asks, and then smiles kindly at me. I take a few more nervous breaths, and then begin to pace, walking in circles around him. I keep trying to find the best way to tell him, and each time I do, I get more and more nervous, thinking of every way this could possibly go wrong with this. He smiles kindly. " Just rip it off like a band-aid," he suggests kindly, and then I nod, and make up my mind to do that.

" Ever since we met, I've been getting closer and closer to you. And well, lately I realized that I have feelings for you that go beyond friendly. I want to be in a relationship with you," I start off saying, and then he tilts his head and looks at me with a smile. Still with a hint of sarcasm, he asks if that was all, and then I shake my head and prepare myself to tell him what I walked over to tell him. " I'm falling in love with you," I admit, and then I look at him, a hopeful nervousness building up inside of me.

Rather than give me an answer, he simply tilts his head and looks down at me. I wonder what he has to say, and then I brace myself for a rejection. Bracing myself, I look down at the ground, needing to avoid his gaze. I feel something on my cheek, and then I see (y/n)'s hand, softly caressing my cheek. He forces me to look up, and then he has a smile on his face. Slowly, he starts to lean in, and then I lean into him. He kisses me passionately before I can process anything else.

The first thought that comes back to mind is that he's an amazing kisser. He clearly knows what he's doing, this isn't his first kiss. It's mine however, and I nervously kiss him back, the best that I can. I feel his hands on my hips, and then I drape my arms around his neck to pull him closer. We continue to kiss for a little, and slowly but surely, more thoughts come to my mind, but the one in the back of my head the entire time is how amazing he is.

There aren't really words to describe the feeling that I have right now. It's the same sink-or-swim feeling, before my body has decided which is going to happen. A happy nervousness builds in me, and my body tingles with anticipation for what happens next. His kiss tastes like peppermint, and his hands are steady on me.

He releases eventually, and then he smiles at me. " I love you too," he says confidently, and happily. A smile comes to my face, and then we hear the sound of clapping. Looking over, I see the two teams who came on the mission with us clapping, and cheering for us. They even have their scrolls up to record and take pictures.

" Would you put those away," I ask, trying to sound convincing, but it probably doesn't work since I'm still elated inside from the kiss. They snicker at this, and then going back to their recording and pictures as I turn to (y/n). He smiles, and then the two of us hug. " I want to kiss you again," I admit to him. " But, everyone keeps taking pictures," I say, a little embarrassed, but so happy.

" So, let's give him a show," he says, a little bit of his cocky flirtation thrown in, and then I smile. Nodding, I lean into him, and then his lips are on mine, in a kiss which is every bit as wonderful as the first. Like before, I try to figure it out, while he takes the lead, guiding me through it, and then helping me learn. When we release, he smiles at me happily. " You're a quick learner," he says, and I can't help but blush at his words, and hen hug him again, not wanting to let go.

Eventually, everyone leaves to give us some time alone, and then the two of us sit down next to each other. He reaches, and then he holds my hand and smiles at me. The two of us stay in a silence, which is comfortable. " That was my first kiss," I admit to him, and then he nods and smiles. Even though I know the answer to it, I find myself asking," What about you?" He smirks a little, and then gets a far off look in his eyes, and then turns to look at me with a smile.

" First with someone who mattered," he tells me, and then I smile. " And before you ask, this isn't my first relationship, but it is my first with someone who matters. So, in a way this is as new to me as it is to you." I nod, feeling assured, and then letting out a sigh. We keep sitting in silence, and then he rests his head on my shoulder. Smiling, I gently stroke his hair. The sun starts to set, and he and I look at it with a smile. " Wanna cuddle," he suggests.

Nodding, he and I lay down, and then I pull him close to me. " Goodnight," he says to me, and then I smile. Holding him for a little more, I close my eyes and then fall asleep myself, holding the one I love in my arms.
