Ruby sighed heavily, the corners of her mouth twitching slightly with a smile. "Yeah, it's almost better than Christmas.. normally it is, anyway. This year just isn't going to be the same as before," the brunette murmured. She had been trying to pump herself up for school, but it just wasn't working. It was the first year that she felt so upset about the fact that she and Emma were in different houses.

She stiffened up a little when Emma's head turned to suddenly to look at her, and she almost jumped at the sudden feeling of the blonde's hand against her cheek. Her eyebrows furrowed a bit as the other girl struggled to get her words out, and once they were out, Ruby didn't have much of a chance to question them before Emma's lips were pressed against her own. There was a split moment of shock, that this was actually happening, and then the brunette was already leaning right back in. She was never the hesitant or nervous sort, but she was pretty sure that she was shaking.

In an effort to keep her hands from shaking, she lifted them up instead, clumsily placing them on either side of Emma's face as she kissed the older girl.
