“Are you sure it’s okay that I stay over? I don’t want to be a trouble for your mother or abuelita or the twins or your-“Your worrying was quickly cut off by Ruby’s finger being placed on your lips to shush you.  

“Princesa, my family loves you. Stop worrying,” he smiled, putting a reassuring hand on your shoulder and rubbing it gently.

You smiled at his comment and leaned in to peck his lips quickly. Ruby blushed wildly at your gesture and leaned in towards you to kiss you slowly but he was quickly interrupted. Both of your heads snapped towards the door to see his mother leaning against the door frame.

“Time for bed, lovebirds,” she smiled, causing both Ruby’s and your face to turn a bright shade of pink.

“Goodnight,” Ruby muttered before quickly shoving his mother out of the room and closing the door.

A small smile crept onto his lips as he watched you try to stifle a laugh. The two of you began to get ready for bed. Once you were ready, Ruby turned off the lights and crawled into bed. You quickly followed his actions and awkwardly laid down next to him.

For a few minutes, you both laid side by side, not daring to even touch each other. Slowly, you felt Ruby put his arm under your neck and draped it over your shoulders. Your heart was racing, and your pretty sure Ruby’s was as well. You smiled and rolled over, so your head was resting on his chest. You listened to Ruby’s heart rate slowly fell back into its normal pattern.

You felt slender fingertips brush through your hair gently before Ruby muttered, “Goodnight, my princesa.”

The next morning, the two of you didn’t wake until an interruption. While you were sleeping, your head resting on his chest and his arm cradling the back of your neck, Monse and Jamaal were making their way to Ruby’s house.

“Have you talked to Y/N in the past day?” Monse asked as they walked into the garden of Ruby’s house.

“I texted her but she didn’t reply. What about you?” Jamaal asked as he purposely tried to trip up the steps of his porch.

“I tried calling but she didn’t pick up,” Monse rolled her eyes as Jamaal picked himself up from the ground.

The two friends knocked on the front door. One of the twins swung the door open, holding a barbie doll’s head in their fist. Jamaal raised his eyebrow before stepping inside.

“Where’s Ruby?” He asked the small child, patting his head.

“They’re in his room,” he stated before running away.

Monse and Jamaal shared a questioning look before Monse said, “They?”

Jamaal shrugged, assuming that the toddler just didn’t know how to use the correct pronouns yet. They made their way to Ruby’s bedroom. Jamaal turned the cold doorknob and swung the door open, making it hit the wall. The sudden noise awoke the couple that were lying happily in the bed. As Ruby and you suddenly sat up, startled by the noise, you both hit your heads together. Ruby shared a look of confusion with you while you were rubbing your temple.

“Oh my god,” Jamaal screamed, causing Ruby to squeal and snap his head towards the doorway where Monse and Jamaal stood.

“You and her? Him and you?” Monse exclaimed, wagging her finger between the two of you.

Ruby sensed you tense up beside him. You had always been worried about the reaction the gang would have and you would have definitely chosen a different way to announce the relationship. Ruby’s hand inched towards yours, that was hidden under the blankets. His fingers laced with yours and you shot him a weak smile.

“Yes, me and her,” Ruby sighed, scratching the back of his head with his free hand.

“Hey, guys- Woah! What’s going on in here,” Cesar said as he entered Ruby’s bedroom.

“They-They’re, they are um- “Jamaal stumbled on his words, still astounded at his new discovery.

“Dating, we’re dating,” Ruby spoke up, rubbing his thumb over the back of your hand.  

“How long?” Monse asked, crossing her arms over her chest.

“Three months,” Ruby stated.

The group erupted into a loud scream. All three of them flailing their arms about, yelling at their two friends that have kept a secret for such a long time. You sharply inhaled, squeezing your eyes shut. Ruby squeezed your hand, causing you to look at him and he kissed your forehead gently. The group of friends yelling abruptly stopped as they witnessed the gesture.

“Damn, you guys really like each other,” Monse said, a small smile playing on her lips.

“Yeah, we do,” Ruby smiled, not breaking his eye contact with you.

“I’m going to throw up,” Jamaal stated, holding his stomach.

“Least you have another excuse to get out of football,” You joked, causing an eruption of laughter.

“Anyways, I’m happy for you guys. I was just joining in on the trend of yelling,” Cesar said, giving a lopsided smirk.

“Oh, sure you were,” Ruby said, rolling his eyes.

“Okay, enough. You two get out of bed because we’re going to be late,” Monse ordered.

“Okay, okay,” Ruby said, letting go of your hand and climbing out of bed.

You quickly followed him out of the room. Just as you were about to enter the bathroom, Ruby pulled you aside in the hallway.

“Is everything okay?” He questioned, not breaking the loving gaze the two of you had.

“Yes, because I can finally kiss you in public,” you smirked.

Ruby smiled back and quickly closed the gap between you. Your arms found their way to his neck, pulling him closer towards you. Ruby’s grip tightened around your waist, deepening the kiss.

“Okay, now I really am going to throw up,” Jamaal stated, causing you to laugh into the kiss.

Ruby hesitantly pulled away from you, “We should probably get ready.”
