I've never really thought about Simple Souls but I assume the male teacher and female student dynamic is looked at unfavorably? Does the context suddenly change when their sexes are switched and it becomes more like Arcwitch? And speaking of Arcwitch...
vomit / don’t ship / okay / cute / adorable / perfect / beyond flawless / hot damn / screaming and crying / i will ship them in hell
okay but these two could actually be really adorable?? especially if you intertwine the whole "fated lovers" aspect into them, the knight & the light, just. chefs kiss. yes please.

“Keep them closed. We’re almost there” The elevator doors slowly slid open, and Ruby stepped forward hesitantly as Oscar kept his hands over her eyes as they walked.
“I hope so” she giggled “Walking around this much without seeing anything makes me nervous.”
“Okay one second!” Oscar lifted his left hand slightly, making sure Ruby’s eyes were still closed beneath them. Upon seeing her shut lids and slowly removed his hands from her face, backing up some. “Alright, open your eyes!”
Two silver orbs were greeted by a dazzling orange light. Looking around Ruby soaked in the room they stood in, a familiar office she had visited multiple times in the past. Last time she had been here, it was in shambles and piles of rubble. Now it stood proudly in one piece, the gears of the tower placed properly once again, though none of them were in motion. And the glass of the windows polished to perfection, giving the two the perfect view of Vale’s sunset.
“No way! This is Ozpins- I’m mean your- or the headmaster’s old office!” Ruby stammered.
“You know I don’t care which term you use right?”
“It looks good as new! And the windows…” Looking over the windows again, she noticed the orange glow wasn’t just from the sun. Each pane was accented with bright orange stained glass, glowing bright and warm into the room.
“My personal touch.” Oscar chimed, a hint of pride in his voice. “I figured, a new era in Beacon’s legacy and all, it should look the part.” The two young adults made their way to the window itself, looking out on its breath-taking view.
“It’s gorgeous!” Ruby took hold of one of Oscars shoulders, pulling him close into a playful hug. “I’m sure the rest of Beacon will be too.” She smiled up at him, making the boys heart flutter.
“It’s exciting getting to see it build into something new. Hopefully maybe something bigger and better than before. The whole being headmaster thing still is kinda throwing me for a loop though.” With the death of Beacon’s former headmaster, it only made sense for his successor to be… well his successor. Despite his youth, he had years’ worth of experience and leadership from the memories of his past lives. As the wizard, he was more than qualified, but as Oscar Pine he felt a bit over whelmed.
“I wouldn’t worry, you’ll make a great headmaster I’m sure.”
“I hope so…”
“I know so.” Ruby leaned her head against Oscars shoulder, allowing him to rest his atop her head.
They stood there and watched the sun, occasionally looking down at the construction workers and machines down below who even now worked to rebuild Beacon Academy to its former glory. After defeating endless hordes of grim, and even a wicked witch of sorts, they felt incredibly lucky to have made it this far, Oscar especially. Ever since merging with Oz he had been told that the odds would not be in his favor. The chances of him surviving were slim, the chances of all his friends surviving even more so, the possibility of ever being with Ruby Rose, nonexistent. Yet here they stood, both alive and well. He could hold her hand, stroke her hair, and kiss her senseless if he wanted. He felt more than lucky, he felt blessed.
“I want to be the best headmaster I can…” Oscar shifted to an upright position. “But I’ve also been talking to Glynda and Ironwood about other things…” He gripped the old cane in his hands.
“Oh?”
“They both agree that my life shouldn’t be dictated by what Ozpin left behind, that I should be allowed to live my own life. Finding hobbies, settling down, starting a family. Ozpin never had a life like that, I think he felt obligated to commit himself to a life of solitude.” Oscar recalled the memories of Ozpin’s life as if they were his own. Emotions and all. “Personally, I don’t think that’s fair, to his loved ones or himself…”
“Yeah, I can see that…” Ruby agreed, not fully understanding but understanding all the same.
“But I don’t want to live that way, and I don’t want any future wizard to feel like they need to live that way either. So maybe by living a simpler life, and can convince future generations of wizards that there can be balance to duty.” His gaze was far away as he spoke, and not once during his whole spiel had he looked to Ruby. Realizing this his head whipped around to meet her gaze his expression once again very present. “Oh sorry, I was rambling there.”
Ruby giggled, bumping his shoulder with hers in teasing jest. “Don’t worry about it.”
“I promise there was a point to this.” Once again, his gaze shifted, down to the floor this time. His expression hardened, as if he was uncertain of what exactly his next words would be. “That point being, I want to live a life of my own, as Oscar Pine. Not just the wizard. And… you see…” he swallowed hard “I… I’d want nothing more than to able to share that life with you… Ruby Rose.”
“Oscar… what are you-?” she had little to no time to ask her question as Oscar suddenly faced her, clutching her hands in his.
“Ruby. I’ve been so madly in love with you, from the first moment I met you. Ozpin told me multiple times falling for you was a bad idea, not to mention Qrow threatened my life multiple times! But I knew! I knew falling in love with you when I did, despite how reckless it may have been, I never regretted it. So I wanted to ask you properly…”
His legs shook slightly under him as he brought himself down to one knee, never letting go of Ruby’s hand. She felt her heart accelerating, she felt breathless.
“Oscar…”
“Ruby Rose, would you share your life with mine, and become Ruby Pine?” He reached into is breast pocket, and pulled out a small gold ring. Its single diamond glittering in the orange light illuminating the small roses engraved in its band.
“Will you marry me?”
“YES!”
“You wi- GAH!” A sudden burst of rose petals surrounded the two as Ruby tackled Oscar to the floor. She acknowledged his grunt of pain as they hit the floor, but she hardly cared in her excitement.
“YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!” She gripped his neck in a fierce hold, shaking his form slightly as she kissed his face up and down. She pecked the center of his cheek, recoiling when she suddenly tasted salt on her lips. Ruby looked up noticing multiple tears streaming down Oscars cheeks. “Oscar are you okay? I didn’t hurt you too bad leaping on you did I?”
“It’s just…” His hand swiped at his eyes, ceasing the flow of fresh tears as he looked up at Ruby, smiling brightly. “Hehehe… I’m just so happy!”
The two beamed at one another, kissing each other on the lips before resting their foreheads against each other’s as Oscar slipped the small ring on Ruby’s hand, the small silver diamond glistening.
