Jaune is a guitarist!
Pyrrha felt like an overused dust crystal.
She had barely gotten any sleep within the last 18 hours, she had missed every drop of coffee at breakfast, AND she had to deal with Cardin badgering Velvet, again. Fortunately it was the saturday, and she could just jump in bed without a care in the world.
But there was one care she couldn't get rid of: Jaune. Of course.
She hadn't seen him all day, even when she woke up, he wasn't there. There was a note saying something about buying certain things, but she couldn't remember what. And she had been worrying about him all day.
Those worries were escalated when she turned into her team's hallway and saw the door open. She ran forward, stopping just short of the doorframe. Leaning against the wall, she peeked in, almost gasping.
She saw Jaune with a guitar in his lap, a guitar amplifier at his feet, and his scroll in tablet mode on top of the amp, with some app she didn't recognize open. The guitar and scroll were connected to the amp, while he adjusted the… 7 string guitar?
He looked to the ceiling and took a deep breath. "This is for you, Pyrrha" he began, "and this is An Erisian Autumn."
An Erisian Autumn? Pyrrha wondered, while Jaune pressed something on his scroll. It started with drumstick count. What does that-
She couldn't finish her thought, as Jaune started playing, but in a strange way. Instead of picking the guitar, he started tapping the strings with both hands, the pick lying useless beside him. It went slow for a few seconds, before the background music started picking up. It didn't take long for Jaune to speed up as well, and move to the thicker strings. But as soon as he went to them, he climbed back to the thinner strings, and bent the last string he touched, before grabbing the pick and bouncing the whammy-bar, and Jaune lost Pyrrha there.
She looked up at his face, to see that he was completely calm, she had never seen him this relaxed. Someone else trying this would be sweating their aura off, but him? Nope. He was fine. It looked so hard to her, but it almost seemed that it was second nature to him.
It couldn't have been his sisters, they were all into classical music. This did sound a bit fantastical, but it was rock, and usually rock and classical don't mix. Also, this didn't have any words, another classical trait. So maybe this was influenced by classical? Pyrrha wasn't sure. But she just smiled, enjoying this moment.
A couple minutes later, Jaune POV
As Jaune finished the last riff, he let out a breath he didn't realise he had been had been practicing this for only four hours, but he felt like he had known it all his life. Well, that was partially true, but still. "So, Pyrrha," he recited, "What do you think?"
"It's… it's beautiful."
He almost fell off the bed, he jumped so bad. He spun towards the door, and sure enough, THE Pyrrha Nikos was leaning on the doorframe. Had she seen him practicing!? This was supposed to be a surprise for her! And… and…
"Jaune, that was the best guitar playing I've ever seen. Absolutely beautiful. But… why me?"
Jaune was confused. "W-what?"
"I mean…" She stood up. "Why would you dedicate it to me? I appreciate it, but why?"
Jaune looked down at the pedals at his feet. His cheeks felt like liquidized red dust crystals had been poured onto them, and they probably looked like that too. He sighed, and just let the words flow.
"It was supposed to be a surprise for valentine's day…"
She gasped. Jaune was too wrapped up in his embarrassment to hear her high heels clacking against the floor towards him. He only noticed when he was tackled onto the bed by the ecstatic redhead.
"Thank you! Thank you so much!" She kept on cry-yelling.
After recovering from his shock, he hugged her back. "You're welcome."
I couldn't think of anything better, I'm sorry. If you want to listen to the actual song (yes it's real) Look up An Erisian Autumn by Angel Vivaldi, it's awesome. Also, yes, I have turned to one shots, sue me. Requests welcome, of course. I might turn this into RWBY/Overwatch one shots, but probably not. Bye-bye now!
