Ryan's POV

(A/n: Inside Ryan's meditation vision)

I was meditating calmly, letting myself to meet my twin brother, Sage in the Spiritual Realm awaiting for our sparring lesson, but instead of the Spiritual Realm I was into my true form (A/n : A.k.a his Giant form) and all I had seen around me was an empty white void that seemed to be stretching infinitely. Then a bright light has begun to shine and I closed my eyes from how bright it was, this was the time when I felt another presence, different from the one that either me or Sage had. It was calm and serene, but I couldn't seem to feel any possible limits to its power, it's as if it was rising without any possible limits.

??? : " * looks at Ryan * Open your eyes Azryn, there's no need to be afraid of neither me nor my presence.", he said to me in a calm, yet commanding voice, deeply resonating with his serene presence. I opened my eyes and in front of me, I saw a white silhouette within a black and white colored aura, the thing that surprised me the most was the fact that a yin-yang symbol was on his forehead.

Me : " Who are you and what is the meaning of our meeting?", I truthfully asked him.

??? : " For who I am that's for me to know and for you to eventually find out for yourselves.", he said to me.

Me : " This didn't answer my question that much, but what do you mean by yourselves? ", I asked him.

Sage :" He meant to say that both of us will find out later on ", my twin brother said to me I looked at him and to my surprise I saw that he was in his true form, right next to me.

??? :" As for your second question, allow me to enlighten you by saying that I called you here to say you that many things might happen to you, your friends and family. Some things might be good and many times you will have to face different difficulties along your path, but only if you manage to surpass them you will find out the truth about your past. ", he said to us seriously and we nodded.

Me /Sage :" * in unison * We understand thy advice ", we said to him together.

??? :" * chuckles softly * Very well then, you may proceed and I wish you the best of luck. ", he said to us and he snapped his fingers sending us to the Spiritual Realm.

Sage : " * looks at Ryan * What was that supposed to mean?", he asked me.

Me : " I don't even know about it myself either. ", I truthfully replied to him in a serious manner.

(A/n : Outside of Ryan's meditation)

After that meeting with that presence as I decided to call him, I stopped my meditation and got ready to head back to the others. I opened my eyes trying to maintain my focus and not fall into the water and I teleported from the middle of the ocean to the shore of Menagerie and I walked all the way back to the Belladonna's home where the others were at.

As soon as I back to the house, I went and changed my clothes to my pajamas. I was wearing only the bottom part and a short sleeved t-shirt, because it was hot inside the room. I was going to get ready to do my night routine until I heard a knock on the door.

Me : " Who is it?", I asked rhetorically before opening the door and I saw Ruby with Luke on her shoulder.

Ruby : " Bro, we had a nightmare and because Yang didn't wanted to sleep with us, can we sleep with you?", she asked me innocently whilst both her and Luke gave me the puppy eyes.

Me : " Umm fine, but you know that because I have only one bed I might need to shrink you? ", I asked her.

Ruby :" * takes a step back away from him * Umm, now that I think about it I might ask Yang about it", she said to me giving me a cheesy smile.

Me : " * raises his eyebrow * Really now, didn't you said to me that you asked Yang before, * leans closer to her * or did you actually forget about it? * gives her a small smile * Also, if you wanted to get rid of your own fears of being shrunk, its the perfect way. ", I asked her.

Ruby :" * sighs * You really don't get it, don't you? ", she said to me frowning.

Me :" * rolls his eyes playfully to her * I heard perfectly what you were saying. By the way, you will be the one to snuggle with Luke, not me ", I said to her.

Ruby : " * whisper- yells * I DON'T WANT TO BE SHRUNK", she said to me in the verge of tears making me to flinch slightly from the tone of her voice.

Me : " * his fox ears are down in sadness and his eyes have a solemn look in them * Calm down, I wasn't going to shrink you. I only meant that you will be the one to snuggle with Luke on the bed, because I would probably sleep on the floor, just to keep an eye on you. * gives her a sad chuckle, a few tears start to fall from his eyes * Well, it seems that someone can easily understand when he has become a monster and that's when his siblings aren't even trusting him. ", I said to her and to my surprise she hugged me tightly and started to pet my fox ears. I gave her a small purr in response and she and Luke giggled slightly before saying to me.

Ruby/Luke :" * in unison *You're actually not one ", they said to me.

Me : "Not what?", I asked them playfully getting Luke from Ruby's shoulder.

Ruby : " * looks straight into Ryan's almost golden, hazel eyes with her bright silver ones * You're not a monster. Why do you think about it and making a fuss of it?", she asked me.

Me : " * gives her a sad smile through his tears * I thought that you were afraid of me, like if I was a monster because you thought that I was about to shrink you without your consent whilst I meant something entirely different from what you were thinking. * sighs * Only monsters do that and I thought that you assumed that I am one as well. "

Ruby :" * hugs Ryan slightly more tightly, whilst she was burying her face in his shirt hiding it from him * I'm sorry for making you feel guilty about what I said ", she said to me and I patted her head, before kissing her forehead and saying to her.

Me : "Don't blame yourself for not understanding, but you could still ask me about it. Despite the fact that both you and Yang promised me that I could be able to shrink you another time, before we left for Beacon.", I said to them and I saw them nodding.

Ruby :" * breaks the hug * Don't forget your promise. ", she said to me as I saw that both her and Luke were yawning at the same time.

Me :" * chuckles softly * Come on you two, time for you to get some shut eye.", I said to them and see them nodding.

I watched them from away as I was doing my nightly routine, as they giggled when they were playing with one another, before falling asleep with Ruby having Luke on her chest with the latter snuggling with her hand that she placed above him as if it was a blanket.

I chuckled softly to myself at the cute scene presented right in front of my eyes and a mischievous idea came into my mind, as a small smirk started to make its appearance on my face. You said to me that I am not allowed to shrink you, but you didn't said anything to me about the exact opposite, I thought to myself before I proceeded with my plan.

My once almost golden, hazel eyes turned into a bright teal color, like the sea in a sunny day, when the calm water was reflecting the sun's rays of light and my hair turned from their usual dirty blonde color into a snow white color whilst their tips were highlighted by a bright silver color. Reality and space shall be reformed, I thought to myself, as some of my energy spread inside the room, making it to change size at the same time as I was.

Then, I gently slided my fingers underneath Ruby and Luke, easily scooping them off of the bed making sure that I wouldn't awake them as I got myself on the bed and gently got them on my chest. You are going to freak out when you find out about it next morning, I thought to myself as I placed my hand protectively over them and afterwards I turned my head to the right, in order for my breath to not be able to accidentally wake them up, spoiling the surprise in that matter.

(A/n : The time skip to the next day is brought to your attention by a sleeping Ryan (in Giant form), snuggling with a chibi sleeping Ruby and an even smaller chibi Luke)

Ruby's POV

(A/n : Stop the previous music and begin this one)

I woke up this morning from my sleep and I tried to move my hands to rub the sleepiness off of my eyes, but I saw that I couldn't move them, because something heavy was pinning me from the waist and down on the mattress, keeping me from getting up from the bed. Wait a minute, since when was the bed going upwards and then downwards, I thought to myself as I tried to gently squirm away from the heavy object that was on me, without waking up Luke in the process.

I thought in the beginning that it was an earthquake, but when I looked behind me I screamed to the shocking revelation before me. Both me and Luke were on top of our now giant elder brother's broad chest and the heavy thing that was on top of us, was none other than his gigantic right hand.

I saw that from my screaming he had awaken and an accidental whimper left my mouth as I saw that his tree sized fingers where wrapping gently around my waist, lifting me from his chest so he could easily get at a sitting position.

After that, he had gently repositioned me, so I could be able to sit in the now open palm of his hand and brought me at eye level with him, his face taking my entire field of view like a billboard. I was still holding Luke in my hands, when I was getting back, because the darkness in the room made him to look a lot more intimidating than usual. He seemed to notice that and spoke to me.

Ryan : "* his eyebrows are raised up in worry as he looks at Ruby with a concerned look * Shh, shh calm down sis no one is going to hurt you", he cooed to me and rubbed gently my back in a comforting manner, using the pad of his massive index finger.

I flinched, but leaned towards at his gentle touch, because despite the fact that he's in his true form, he's still my big brother.

Ryan : " I scared you a lot, didn't I?", he said to me looking towards me, his face had a solemn and guilty look presented on it.

Me : " * looks at him * Why did you shrunk me. * starts to tear up * I didn't want to", I said to him and I looked towards his massive palm, I trusted him and he didn't keep his promise. I heard that he sighed and took his massive pointer finger below my chin, effortlessly lifting my head to look at me, before he said to me.

Ryan : " Hey, I didn't shrunk you down, I just grew instead. * opens the room's lights so she could see that he was in his true form * See?", he said to me and he gave me a dry chuckle, seeing that I had turned my back towards him and pouted, before saying.

Me :" * pouts * Meanie ", I said to him.

(A/n: Stop the music and begin this one )

Ryan's POV

Me :" * sighs lightly picking up Ruby and Luke before he placed them ( A/n : Mostly Ruby, because Luke was in her hands) at the quilt of his bed * Come on Ruby, can't you take a small joke?", I asked her, because when she pulls a prank on someone else, she's laughing but when someone pulls a prank at her and says sorry if he took it too far, she's really stubborn.

Ruby :" * turns around, but doesn't look at him and shakes her head * Nu", she said to me and seeing that she had put Luke on the quilt, I just decided to play with it her a little bit. A little ever playful smirk started to make its appearance on my face, as I used my pointer finger to gently push Ruby and pin her effortlessly against the bed's mattress, by resting my finger on top of her.

Ruby : " * squirms trying to get Ryan's massive ( A/n: From her point of view) finger off of her * Hey! ... * pouts * Unfair! ", she whined, but seeing that Luke had sat down in an attempt to stop himself from laughing, she knew that I wouldn't take it that far.

Me :" * shrugs * Not my problem shorty, you should have just learned to take a prank once in a while. * thanks to his sensitive hearing he heard her to mumble under her breath "giant bully", so he just chuckled at her *You know that I can still hear you, don't you? * sees that she gasped in surprise and covered her mouth * What no sorry? Very well then, time to suffer the consequences of being stubborn. ", I said to her sternly.

Author's POV

Ruby :" * looks at Ryan with wide eyes and tried more, to get his finger off of her * You know that Yang won't forgive you if you hurt me. * she stopped and started to shake in fear seeing that the rest of his fingers were coming extremely close to her * P-pl-please, don't h-hurt me ", she whimpered towards him, with the thought that he would hurt her. But all of her thoughts instantly dispersed, like the clouds in a sunny day, when she sees that he started to tickle her without putting any pressure on her belly and sides, the places were she was VERY ticklish.

She tried to keep her laughter within her as she clamped her mouth shut, forcing a squeaky sound that was supposed to be her laughing to a quick silence. Unfortunately for her, her action was as if she gave to Ryan the permission to tickle her even more, which he did having the same playful smirk on his face as he said to her.

Ryan : " Aww, come on shorty. You know what they say, * chuckles as he sees that her face became as red as a cherry, trying to hold her laugh * better out than in.", he said to her and she let it out.

Ruby : " * starts to tear up from laughing * Y-YANG... HELP ME!! ", she yelled and saw that Ryan had instantly gotten his massive hand away from her and touched his fox ears wincing slightly from the volume of her voice, because his fox ears were REALLY sensitive.

Ryan :" * clamps his teeth shut forcing to silence a hiss of pain * Ouch, Ruby. What did I said to you about having sensitive hearing!?",he said to her, trying overtly to keep his voice low so he wouldn't hurt neither hers nor Luke's ears.

Ruby : " * looks up to meet his gaze * I'm sorry for hurting your ears, but you shouldn't tickle me that much. ", she said to him.

Ryan :" * takes his hands off of his ears and looks at her * You shouldn't apologize only to me, but also to Luke.", he said to her and she went near Luke and knelt next to him gently scooping him up.

Ruby :" * hugs Luke gently * Luke, I'm sorry for yelling and hurting your ears by this. I hope you forgive me. ", she said to him and he hugged her back before saying to her.

Luke : " * looks up towards her face * I forgive you for that one sis, but promise to me that you won't do it again. ", he said to her.

Ruby :" Aww, thank you * mutters under her breath loud enough for Luke to hear her voice * little cutie."

Luke : " * blushes embarrassed and hides his face * I'm not cute ", he said to her, but the way that he said it was like if he didn't meant that at all. He peeked at Ruby behind his hands, giggling like a three year old. They were having fun, until they both let out a surprised yelp seeing that their elder brother had gently scooped them in his hands. Lifting them off the ground and bringing them closer to his chest, pressing them extremely gently against it, trying not to harm them and especially Luke,  in a form of a hug.

Ryan : " * chuckles and looks down at them doing an adorable pouting face * Come on, you were hugging together all the time and I wanted a hug from you as well.", he said to them, a cheesy smile started to make its appearance on his slightly blushed face, hearing them laughing slightly at him.
