One Year Later

Graduation day had finally come to Beacon Academy, the fourth year students ready to go out on their own into the world.

It was rather straightforward, Ozpin handed the graduating students a special card and badge as they walked onto the stage, before they all lined up in their teams, waiting for the closing speech.

As for how everyone felt, some were excited, others were shy, more were embarassed, and plenty felt nervous in front of such a large crowd of people, ranging from other students, families, teachers, even some members of the council.

Even Gyro fidgeted a bit from his spot next to Ruby.

He still remembered what he'd wanted to do since him and Ruby had started dating, and, well, he felt a bit too nervous to do that in front of so many people.

It did calm his nerves a bit when Ruby grabbed his hand though, giving it a reassuring squeeze.

He smiled a bit, before he decided that since he wouldn't be able to do it openly, he'd do it discreetly, as he made a little something appear in between their hands.

Ruby blinked as she suddenly felt something, moving it around a bit, before smiling as she glanced at Gyro, with him looking at her with a small smile, as she mouthed 'Yes' to him, making him grin as he slipped his arm around her and she put a small silver ring on her finger, leaning into him.

And Gyro could swear he saw Ozpin smile in amusement for a moment before he went back to his speech.

Hours later, everyone stood near the road that would take them down to Vale, with Gyro holding onto Epona's reigns and Medli perched on his shoulder.

Slowly, everyone started to leave, some alone, others in pairs, but everyone with the promise to meet back up again soon.

As Yang and Pierce flew off next to each other before splitting off in the sky, Gyro hoisted himself up onto Epona and pulled Ruby up, said fiancée wrapping her arms around him and laying her head on his back with a content smile as Gyro raised his shoulder slightly while clicking his heels softly, making Medli take off and Epona start to walk as the sun set.

Their school years may be over, but they still had plenty of adventures ahead of them.
