From the age of 5, Jaune – like all boys of or around his age – wanted to be a soldier. He would run around the gardens of Arc Manor wearing camo and carried around a toy gun and played soldier with all his little friends. As the years went by, his dreams of serving in the military hadn't waned. He attended Eldridge High School in New York, where he met his best friend, Ethan Austin. Ethan was light skinned with dishevelled brown hair and equally brown eyes, he was a few inches shorter than Jaune. Both boys had aspirations of joining the military, and even decided to enlist together, once their education was done.
Now, standing in front of his whole class, where he's handed his diploma by his teacher and shaking hands with the principal, he sat down, and waited until everyone's name was called to give his speech, he was the valedictorian after all. When the last name had been called up, he went to the podium, cleared his throat and spoke to the eager faces of the friends he'd made since his freshman year.
"We are all here, as friends and classmates, graduating after 4 years. Where we'll go from here is up to us, even if 'us' has no damn idea." He said, which earned laughs from the crowd. "However, wherever we end up in life, let's all remember the time's we've had, the people we've met, and the decisions we've made. We are all here, because of our willingness to learn, to thrive, to seek for a purpose, for a calling, whether that purpose or calling is for a family, education, who knows. I know this speech might not've been the best, but I take pride in knowing that it certainly isn't the worst." To which yet another wave of laughter came from the crowd. "My name's Jaune Arc, and I'm proud to have known all of you, thanks for listening." When he left, a roar of applause and a standing ovation greeted him.
Once the ceremony was over, him and a few of his friends – including his girlfriend Elsa – had hung out at Queen's Mall. He was holding hands with Elsa, while talking about their futures. Elsa was a beautiful girl who had pale skin, periwinkle eyes and platinum blonde hair, she was wearing a light blue dress and her hair was in an offset ponytail.
"I'll go to Harvard to become a lawyer." Jackson said.
"If you actually have the grades for it maybe, ya ugly mug." Gavin retorted.
"Ahh shut up Gav." Ray had said.
"What about you, Jaune, Elsa?" Barbara had asked, while wrapping her arm around Gavin's.
"Well," Elsa had said. God Elsa has such a beautiful voice, I don't mind listening to it for the rest of my life. "I'm going to either Oxford or Cambridge to become a brain surgeon."
The group could only whistle at that, both universities were the best, if not, the best schools in all of Earth, if you graduate from there, the sky sure is the limit.
"And you, Jaune?" Barbara had said, still clinging onto Gavin's arm.
"Well, Ethan and I plan on joining the Navy, more specifically the Navy SEALS." Jaune had said, and as soon as he finished, he felt Elsa tighten her grip on him. He squeezed back gently, and gave her the most reassuring smile he could.
The day had passed relatively quickly, with Jaune kissing Elsa goodbye and being driven back to Arc Manor by the family chauffeur, Roderick. After he greeted his parents, he immediately climbed the large, arcing stairway into his large room. His room was painted a golden yellow, with all sorts of poster hanging from them, ranging from video games like Call of Duty and Battlefield, to movies like Transformers, and TV shows like his favourite, Game of Thrones. To his right there was a large bookshelf to hold –you guessed it, books. Again, his collection was diverse, from A Song of Ice and Fire book series by George R.R. Martin, to Tolkien's LOTR and Hobbit, to even Sun Tzu's Art of War. Near the shelf was his gaming set up, 3 4k monitors hooked up to an Xbox One and PS4, even set up to one of the best gaming PC's in the world. Around his bed, framed signed sports jersey's were hung, with Cristiano Ronaldo's from Real Madrid, Lionel Messi from Barcelona, to even Edwin Van der Sar's goalie jersey for when he still played for Jaune's favourite team, Manchester United, he'd even went to their stadium, Old Trafford in Manchester to see them play. He sighed and lied down onto his king sized bed. He looked at his phone – an iPhone 6+ of course – and saw that it was currently 8 p.m.
"Well, there's no point in waking up early tomorrow since we graduated, so I guess I'll just stream." Jaune said to no one in particular. He changed into a comfortable black shirt and gray sweatpants and set up his game. He sent out a tweet to his followers that he was streaming. Aside from being the heir to the prestigious Arc family, he was also a popular streamer on Twitch, with over 1.5 million followers and counting, he also sent out a status update on his Facebook, making sure they were aware too, just in case they didn't have Twitter.
After waiting for 5 minutes, he started the stream with Grand Theft Auto V.
"Hey stream, it's me, Jaune! I've just graduated today and I just came back from the mall hanging out with my friends, and since there was some time left, I figured I'd stream for about a good 4 hours. We'll start the stream off with some GTA V, then maybe some Advanced Warfare if you guys want. Anyways let's begin!"
After four hours of streaming himself wrecking noobs, he finally decided to log off for the night.
"Thanks for watching my impromptu stream, hopefully you've been entertained and I shall see you next time, uh buh bye." With that, he turned off his stream, and checked his messages. A few were from his friends and one was from Elsa, her contact name being 'My Love Snow Angel' followed by 3 hearts and a snow flake, which was put into his phone by his own Snow Angel.
Elsa: Hey just finished watching your stream, you sure wrecked those noobs my Noble Knight.
He quickly typed in his response.
Me: Why of course, my Snow Angel.
He waited for a few seconds before a vibration came in, signalling a message from his beloved Snow Angel.
Elsa: Why my valiant Knight, you sure are up late.
He quickly typed in his reply.
Jaune: So are you Snow Angel, it's midnight. Face Time me.
He waited for a few seconds to see that he was being called by his love. He quickly answered and saw her usually ponytailed hair into a cute, messy bun.
"Well if it isn't my ethereal Snow Angel, what's with the change of hairstyle?"
Elsa blushed before replying.
"I'm at home and it's late Jaune, no one sees me except for you and my family." She says with a slight yawn.
"Why were you up so late Snow Angel?"
"I was watching your stream."
"It ended late."
"It could've ended at 5 in the morning but I'd still watch it."
Jaune smiled before replying.
"You should get some sleep Snow Angel. Sweet dreams, I love you."
Elsa smiled warmly.
"Thanks my Knight, I love you too." With that the call ended and Jaune walked back to his bed before stripping down to his boxers, lying in his bed, charged his phone, used the light controller app on his phone and turned the lights off in his room before wrapping himself in his blanket and slept, dreaming of a golden haired knight escorting a white haired blue eyed princess with a vertical scar on her left eye.
What did you think of this? I've had ideas with other stories and I've decided to publish this, another new one will follow suit.
