So for some context before going into this story. This is one of those High school AU's, so Beacon is a highschool. I know the way huntsman training goes is attending combat school before going to a huntsman academy, but I'd rather have it at highschool. Faunus are still a thing too. Also I won't be including Jaune's sisters because I can't be damned to remember all 6 (since one sister was now shown in V6) made up names and personalities.

Thats all, ONTO THE STORY!


Jaune Arc was a simple boy. He attended Beacon High School, and lived with his parents. He had friends, quite a few, and he had a crush, but that's for later.

He was walking into Beacons unusually large cafeteria and spotted his friends.

He had 7 friends.

Pyrrha Nikos, the all star athlete of the school.

Lie Ren, the silent one, but knows martial arts and meditation techniques.

Nora Valkyrie, the ginger who had unusual amounts of energy and strange abilities that no man, woman, and possibly God could fathom.

Ruby Rose, the girl two years younger than the bunch but was accepted at the same time due to her high grades... at the time.

Weiss Schnee, the prim and proper kind of girl, heiress of the Schnee Electric company.

Blake Belladonna, a cat faunus, and ex member of a group called the White Fang, leaving when the group turned to violence.

Last was Yang Xiao Long. Ruby's sister by father, but still treats Ruby's mother as her own and thinks of Ruby as her full sister.

Jaune was particularly more close to Ruby and Yang. Especially Yang. They lived in the same neighborhood, so they attended the same elementary school. Jaune always found himself hanging out with them. As for Yang, he was her wingman. There were times when Yang would go out on dates, or gain an interest in guys, and it was his job to assist her, either in getting the guy to go out with her, or just helping her decide what to wear on a date or what to do on said date. Sometimes when things go south he would be the she would vent to.

There was just one teeny tiny problem...

Jaune had a crush on Yang for a while.

He never told her because she would always have eyes on someone else. Plus, she was way out of his league.

She's strong, beautiful, funny (despite some puns), and just fun to be around. But he never done anything. And he always helped her with any crushes she had, no matter how much it pained him.

It was for her sake, so he would always do his best that things go right for her and her crush.

So that led him to his current situation, where he was sitting beside Yang in the table they shared. As they ate, Yang elbowed his side to get his attention. When he looked at her, she leaned over to him and whispered in his ear, "Meet me after school, I got something I need your help with." When she moved away Jaune nodded his head in confirmation.

Classes rolled by and at the end of the day he sat in the cafeteria again, alone this time, waiting for Yang.

He knew what this was about. It was common that she would privately ask him to meet up after school to discuss about her current interest.

Yang was an adventurous kind of girl, so it was often that she would get intrested in other guys.

"Except me that is..." Jaune mumbled to himself. He knew there wasn't a chance he could ever go out with her, he was just a plain guy, and most guys she was interested in had good looks, or a built body. So there was no way she would-

"Hey there gloomy blondie." He heard a familiar voice whisper into his ear from behind, interrupting his thoughts. He realized while he was busy thinking, he was growing a bit of a sad expression.

"H-hey Yang! So what did you want to talk about?"

"Oh you know, the usual." She said casually as she sat down beside him.

"Let me guess, another guy? Who's the poor sucker this time?" He teased.

"Oh shut up!" She laughed.

"If anything they would be lucky to be dating a gal like me" She said proudly.

"Damn right" He thought to himself.

"Sure Yang, sure. Anyways, the guy in question is?"

"Viridis Nell." She said as she showed him a picture.

Green hair, good looking face, arms showed a bit of muscle.

"So what do you need my help for?" He asked.

"What do you think I should do?" She asked.

"Simple, talk to him, either befriend him and get to know him or ask him out tomorrow." He said, giving her his ideas.

"Hmm, I'll go with ask him out."

"Quick and easy, like usual." He chuckled.

"Of course!"

They got up and made their way home.

They didn't live far so they could simply walk to and from school.

"Hey Jaune?"

"Yes?"

"Is there anyone you're interested in?"

His heart skipped a beat. He wanted to answer that question honestly. He really did. But...

"No, why?" He didn't have the guts to, not while she was into someone else.

"Just asking, that's all." She said casually.

"Ah."

As they passed Yang's home, she waved at him before turning to go towards her home, though they were surprised to see Ruby waiting outside.

She said hi to Yang before going over to Jaune.

"Hey, wanna hang out?" She asked.

"Sure, why not." He replied.

The two waved goodbye to Yang and made their way to Jaune's house.

Yang and Ruby visited Jaune's house several times, though Ruby visited more than Yang.

"So, you and Yang met up after school huh?" She asked him.

"Yep."

"Let me guess, another interest?"

"Yep"

"Ughhhh, Jaune! Why don't you ever tell her how you feel?!" She exclaimed in confusion. She was the only person who knew of his crush in Yang.

"Don't you feel something for always helping her with guys, despite you liking her?"

"I do, but it's not my place to say when she isn't interested in me." He said.

"But it's not fair!"

"It's okay Ruby, that's just the way things are."

Ruby pouted at that. She wanted to help Jaune get together with Yang, but she knew what he was saying.

"It really isn't fair, huh..."
