Velvet sighed as she sat her cup of coffee down. "I wish I had your confidence."

"Confidence can be learned or faked," Coco replied evenly. "But it starts within you, kid. You gotta be confident in yourself first, and we've been working on that this year, right?"

The bunny Faunus nodded slowly as she reached for the sugar. She had a major sweet tooth, and Coco couldn't help but wince as she watched her add another cube to her already over-sweetened drink. She preferred her java black as night, personally, though each member of her team had their individual preferences.

The brunette smiled to herself as she remembered how none of the others of her team had touched the stuff before they formed last year. Now it was a bond they shared, among many, even though their individual preferences reflected their distinctiveness.

"I have been trying, really," Velvet finally said in her soft voice. "And I appreciate your efforts, honestly I do."

"But it's not enough to talk to him?"

"No… not yet."

"I told you he'd be receptive."

"But that's not quite enough, I'm afraid." Velvet finished up her coffee and rose from the table at the small outdoor cafe they were visiting in Vale. "I'll get there, I will…"

"I know you will, Velvet," the Team CVFY leader replied warmly. "And you ever wanna talk about it again, you know I'll be there for you."

Velvet wrinkled her nose as she smiled. "I know." She glanced down at the table. "You going to open that?"

Tapping a manicured nail on the thick envelope, Coco gave a knowing smirk. "Eventually."

Her teammate rolled her eyes and giggled as she headed out. "You are so bad…"

"Keeps things lively," Coco snickered.

She watched the bunny Faunus as she made her way towards the airship landing pad to take her back up towards Beacon. They'd picked this spot primarily because of the close proximity to the pad, so that Coco might observe her and make sure she made it safely.

Velvet was a highly capable huntress-in-training, especially when wielding dust in combination with her innate semblance. But she was still a Faunus in a very Faunus-unfriendly world, and Coco cared for all of her teammates like a mother Ursa.

Once certain she was safely on board the waiting airship, Coco returned her attention to her now-lukewarm cup. She signalled the waitress for a refill, who promptly brought a pot over to top her off with more of the dark elixir.

There were other cafes with better brew, but this one, at least, had wonderful service.

As she sipped from her cup, Coco reflected on the year they'd had so far. It had been an exciting one, no doubt, though filled with its ups and downs. She winced at the memory of their defeat in the Vytal Festival games, but brushed it aside. Arena fighting just wasn't her thing, and she could admit she'd made a mistake putting herself and Yatsuhashi in the doubles. Her partner could handle himself just fine, but she was more of a heavy hitter.

Grimm fell before her by the dozens, but she simply didn't have the agility to be an asset in the sort of fight she'd found herself in.

Coco sighed to herself. Hopefully in two years Velvet would finally come into her own enough to participate in the next games. The girl would be a terror on any battlefield, be it Grimm or arena, if only she would accept what she could do and trust in her own abilities and instincts as much as Coco did.

Partnering up with Yatsuhashi in her first year gave the Faunus stability and a pool of calm to draw from, but it was the presence of Fox on their team that had done wonders for the timid girl. The blind boy with hair like burning embers was nothing but confidence, a trait Coco found admirable. He'd managed on his own for some time now, using his semblance to become hyper-aware of threats while fighting.

With a soft smile, Coco brought herself out of her reverie and slid the white envelope towards her. She deftly slit open the side, allowing a hotel room key to drop to the table, along with a small scrap of paper. Her smile grew into an anticipatory grin as she read the paper, noting the hotel name and room number before tucking it and the key into her cashmere overcoat pocket.

She included a generous tip with the lien she left on the table as the brunette stood and adjusted her ever-present sunglasses. With her usual confident swagger she strode off down the street towards her destination.

Passing a florist, she paused and smirked as an idea struck her.

Ten minutes later she was on her way again, a bundle of a half-dozen fragrant red roses cradled in her left arm.

As she walked, she reflected on the fact that none of her team had finals tomorrow, the last day of the semester. They had one more day together before they went their separate ways for the holiday break.

Coco smiled to herself as she thought of her home, a place she rarely seemed to have the time to visit. She'd get to see her cousins this time, and her older brother Joe should be there with his family as well. Her nieces should be four this year, likely injecting the Yuletide with an abundance of enthusiasm.

She'd miss her teammates, though. It was tough not to, as close as they'd become over the past year and a half.

Eventually she reached the hotel and unhesitatingly strode inside, through the ornate lobby and up the elevator to the third floor. Once there she entered room 313 with her key, closing the door behind her gently.

"Honey, I'm home," she snarked, shrugging of her coat and tossing it onto the chair located nearby.

"Took you long enough," Fox smirked from where he sprawled in the luxurious bed.

Coco had to pause as she took in the lean, toned body of her dark-skinned lover. Her partner, in more ways than one, was looking good enough for her to take a bite out of. Fox was reclining casually against the pillows piled up at the head of the bed, naked, with only a light sheet covering him up to the waist.

"Oh, my," Coco purred as she slinked forward, dropping the roses onto the small table on the side of the room. "Is all this for me?"

"I'd have giftwrapped it, but I know how impatient you get," Fox laughed as he slid to the edge of the bed, letting the sheets fall from him. "Now come here so that I might undress you."

Coco stood obediently still, allowing his slightly calloused but nimble fingers to dance over her body, removing her sunglasses and beret while deftly undoing her various fasteners.

She'd learned early on that her blind boyfriend took great pleasure in using his sensitive fingers to map out her body, and it gave her delicious shudders when he did so. For her part, she was highly appreciative of the sight of his muscular physique. He was the only person she'd ever been with who caused her to, quite literally, feel the need to restrain herself from drooling.

"You brought me roses," Fox murmured as he ran his fingers lightly along the outside her now-bare legs.

"I know how you like the scent," Coco replied breathlessly, running her own fingers through her lover's orange hair.

"Almost as much as I enjoy the scent of you," he returned before planting a kiss on her abdomen just below her belly button.

Coco gasped lightly. "Flatterer," she moaned as he trailed kissed up her torso.

"I would never lie to you," Fox murmured against her lips as he rose to his full height.

Instead of replying, Coco just pressed her body tightly into his, devouring him in a passionate kiss.

They stood like that for some time, their naked figures swaying slightly, before they separated with a shared sigh of contentment.

"We only have tonight," Coco reminded him gently.

"And I don't anticipate getting any sleep," Fox grinned.

"Damn right you won't," she smirked, giving him a push so that he would fall backwards onto the bed. His hands snaked out to pull her down with him, and she landed on top of his torso with an uncharacteristic giggle.

Fox's face became serious as his sightless eyes seemed to bore up into her. "I love you, Coco."

"And I love you, Foxy. Happy Yuletide."

"Happy Yuletide, love."
