Hey guys, Squash here. Now, a lot of you are probably wondering where I have been, and the answer to the is… I have been busy. Anyway, I got a job, Christmas happened, New Year's is coming up, and I got a wedding to go to in a different part of my continent. So yeah. Pretty busy. I randomly wrote this a week ago and it has blossomed into a full fledged mini story. Hope you enjoy!
Jaune smiled happily as he walked over the circular road of the cauldron. Jaune looked to his left to see that Ren and Nora were out in their front yard, the ten year old girl dragging the twelve year old boy along with her. Jaune chuckled at the two, wondering how Ren could ever put up with the unlimited amount of energy that Nora seemed to have. Jaune smiled when he saw Nora notice him, the young girl smiling and waving at him while shouting something. Ren just nodded, to which Jaune returned.
Jaune then looked away and broke into a light jog, jogging up a small driveway to one of the houses on the street. Jaune walked up to the door and knocked on it's screen door, the metal rattling loudly. Jaune looked into the window next to the door and waved slightly at the two year old girl that was inside the house, the small girl waving back after a second. Jaune looked back to the front door when he heard it's lock click, the wooden door opening.
The door swung open and Jaune saw one of the four people who lived in the house, the person at the door a woman. Jaune smiled at her lightly as she looked at him, her gaze somewhat nervous when she opened the door, but it swapped to a softer look when she saw who it was. As much as Jaune hated to admit it, he had a small crush on the woman before him. Granted, he was sure it was just a thing that any nineteen year old would go through, but it still felt weird that he had a crush on his thirty year old neighbour. As he always did when he saw her, he quickly looked over her, taking in all of the little details, from the shape of her clean white clothes, to the look of pride and experience in her dull, yet warm silver eyes.
"Jaune! Hi, come right in!" She said happily, the woman unlocking the door and taking a step back. Jaune nodded and opened the screen door, stepping into the house. He felt the cold air that was in the house, looking around to see that the AC's were on. Jaune turned back around and closed the wooden door, not wanting to let any of the cold air out. Jaune took a step forward, but stopped when he heard barking. He looked towards the barking and saw that a little white and grey corgi had ran up to him, the little dog sniffing and running around his feet.
"Hello there Zwei." Jaune said to the dog, leaning down and giving his hand to the dog. The small corgi immediately shoved it's head into his hand and started licking it, Jaune using his free hand to rub the dog's ears.
"Duaaane!" Exclaimed the two year old from besides Jaune, making him turn to smile at the little girl.
"Hello Ruby. You've gotten better at speaking." Jaune said, Ruby nodding her head enthusiastically at the praise. Jaune smiled and stopped petting Zwei, leaning over to Ruby and patting her head lightly. Ruby giggled and ran off, leaving Jaune there with a smile. Jaune got up fully and walked to where the woman was, who was just watching him interact with her daughter and dog.
"So, how you been Summer?" Jaune asked, the woman looking at her daughter as she ran around with Zwei chasing after her. Summer sighed and crossed her arms, not looking away from Ruby and Zwei.
"I've been okay. I just wanted to thank you for feeding Zwei while we all go away." Summer said, Jaune shaking his head at what she said.
"It's no problem. I enjoying seeing Zwei." Jaune said happily, he too watching as the dog chased the little girl around.
"Jaune… Can I… Can I ask a question?" Summer asked slowly and quietly, Jaune looking at her.
"Yes, of course you can." He said to her, turning back to the little girl and dog play together.
"Do you… T-Think I'm pretty?" Summer asked, Jaune's eyes widening a bit at the question. He immediately turned to look at her, the blonde gobsmacking when she saw that she was nervously holding her arms against her chest, lightly biting her lip and avoiding his gaze.
"Yes." Jaune said without a second of hesitation. She looked at him, her eyes wide in slight surprise.
"I-I-I mean, you're a very beautiful woman, and… Uhh…" Jaune stammered, trying to cover up for his direct confirmation that he saw her as pretty.
"R-Really?" She asked hesitantly, Jaune nodding his head instantly.
"Of course." Jaune said, hoping that his voice didn't betray his current nerves.
"T-Thanks." Summer said, Jaune nodding his head.
"Is there… Any reason for that question?" Jaune asked hesitantly, Summer biting her lip again.
"Well… My husband and I… We've been fighting a bit lately." Summer said, Jaune nodding his head in understanding. Truth be told, everyone on the street could hear the fights between Summer and Tai-Yang. Most of the time, the fighting seemed to be verbal, but, some other times though…
"Yeah. I can hear it from across the street." Jaune said, Summer looking at him in surprise and shock.
"I-It's that loud?" She whispered, looking desperately at Jaune. He shook his head and smiled.
"Nah, I can only hear it because of the amount of times I stand outside your house at night, waiting for a chance to take Ruby and raise her as my own." Jaune said, Summer smiling in return. For some reason, the two seemed to have a weird system, where they would make jokes that would be either weird or kinda creepy, but to them, it was all jokes. Heck, many had accused them of having a secret contest to one up each other in horrible jokes, both in the mean of terrible timing and terrible context.
"Thank's Jaune." Summer said, her smile fading away. Jaune just nodded, knowing that she understood how the street did hear her and Tai-Yang.
"Anyway. He's said some… Things. And I guess that they've started to get to me. One of the most biggest ones is…" Summer said, her sentence trailing off. Jaune looked at her expectantly.
"Yeah?" He said, hoping to encourage her to tell.
"The fact that I was prettier. Hotter. Sexier while in collage. But, now I have two kids." Summer admitted, Jaune looking at her in surprise.
"Are you kidding me? You look like you are in collage. And I can't think of a person, prettier, hotter or sexier than you." Jaune said, smiling at her, making her eyes widen at what he had said. After a second, Jaune's head figure out what he had said as well and his own eyes widened a bit.
"Uhh, wait, t-that came out wrong-" Jaune started saying, but was cut off when Sumer stepped forward and kissed Jaune on the lips. To put it simply, Jaune's eyes widened as he felt fireworks go off throughout his body. He stood shocked for a second, his hands frozen in mid air, before he closed his eyes and let his hands drop to his side. Suddenly, a small gasp was heard from besides them, Jaune and Summer immediately breaking the kiss and turning to see that Ruby and Zwei were both looking at them intently.
"Yaw!" Ruby suddenly shouted happily, throwing her hands up in the air. While the little girl had some trouble saying it, the two knew that she had said "Yay"." Jaune chuckled at Ruby while Summer smiled at her, both of them shaking their heads lightly. Summer and Jaune then looked back at each other, their eyes connecting immediately.
"I-"
"Oh my god! I-I'm so sorry!" Summer suddenly said as her eyes widened considerably, the woman's exclamation cutting Jaune off. Her hands shot too her mouth and covered it, her hands shaking slightly as she took a step back.
"I-I'm so sorry." Summer said quietly from behind her hands, Jaune staring into her eyes, his heart tearing at the sight of her watery eyes.
"Wait!" Jaune said to her, but she had already turned and started walking away. Jaune watched as she walked away from him, the woman turning a corner and disappearing from sight.
"I-I enjoyed it." Jaune said to himself, the blonde looking to the ground in defeat. He sighed sadly and closed his eyes, his mind racing. Why did she kissed me? Does she like me? What does this mean? She's married! I'm eleven years younger than her! Oh god… Jaune's train of thought was interrupted when he felt something tugging on his cargo pants, Jaune opening one of his eyes to see that Ruby was trying to get his attention. He chuckled and snaked his hands gently under the girl's arms, lifting her up and onto his shoulders.
"Yaw!" Ruby said happily again, making Jaune laugh. He then turned away from where Summer had gone and walked in the opposite direction, planning on going outside with Ruby to play with some coloured chalk.
Now, I have some ideas for smut and sexy stuff for this story, But once it is written, I shall post it separately. Hope you liked it!
