Day2 "Hey, you know..."

Honeymoon

Jaune glanced around the ballroom/dancefloor (It was a close call so the leader of team RWBY decided to combine both her partner's and her sister's suggestions.) as he spotted a pair of goggles and some distinctive blue hair disappear up a flight of stairs. He immediately turned his attention back to the Ice Queen who was sitting on a chair off to the left, hands crossed in her lap and her back poised like the perfect princess that she was.

She wore a snow white dress that appeared to be perfectly tailored to her figure, a very elegant pin in her hair, and heels high enough for her to almost reach his height. The big surprise was that she wasn't with her date.

A little girl in a sleeveless dress and a red cloak was sitting next to her, fiddling with the strap on the back of her high heels.

Just give it time Jaune. You'll get your chance.

He decided to follow Neptune, if only out of curiosity as to why he wasn't down on the ballroom/dancefloor spending time with the girl who asked 'him to the school dance.

He dodged his way through the crowd of aspiring hunters, brushing shoulders with people as he struggled to keep his target in sight.

A flash of turqoise fading from view caught his eye behind the door to the roof.

"Hey Neptune." Jaune's hand were in his pockets as he stood behind Neptune. He didn't even bother turning around to acknoledge Jaune, instead sharply turning his head ninety degrees to the right, catching a glimpse of blonde.

"Oh, hey Jaune." He reverted back to his original position with his elbows leaning on the edge and staring out into the busy city streets.

"I can't help but notice that you're not down there with Weiss." Jaune questioned earning a slight flinch. "I mean, you're both so cool so I just figured that you would be at the dance together. And I happened to hear a rumor that 'she' asked you to the dance."

"Ah... you heard about that? I guess the person that spread that rumor didn't catch the latter half of Weiss and I's conversation."

"What? I-The individual who happened to over hear you conversation didn't hear the whole thing?"

"I guess not. If they did then they would know I turned her down." Jaune felt his jaw fall open. Neptune turned down the Ice Queen? How stupid can you be?

"Excuse me? You turned her down? I-I mean why? Surely you mus-"

Neptune cut him off, throwing his arms up in the air in defeat. "I can't dance. That's why I turned her down. Because I can't dance."

"You turned her down for that?" Jaune mentally flicked himself at his almost mistake before completely revamping his original train of thought. He could build off this. Convince Neptune to give up on Weiss so he can take over. It was perfect. "I suppose that makes sense. You made the right choice."

"What? Aren't you supposed to tell me that it doesn't matter if I can't dance, and that I should go down there and apoligize for turning her down before?"

"I don't believe in giving people false truths. Trust me, if you were to go down there and dance with Weiss and then accidentally step on her toes because you didn't know the steps to the waltz, you would embarass both of yourselves. She would never talk to you again."

"Of course, you're right. Thanks for backing me up on this decison man. Nice to know I made the right choice."

"Yeah no problem man. Anyway I gotta get back down there. I'll see you later yeah."

"Yeah. See you later." Jaune fist pumped and did a mini dance of victory at his clever wording and quick thinking behind Neptune's back. He opened the creaking door that led off the roof and made his way back to the party.

"Weiss! Fancy meeting you here." Jaune said with a hint of fake surprise and his signature "Ladykilla" smile on. Lucky for him that Ruby ended up having to leave.

"This is the school dance. Both of us are first years so we have to attend."

"Oh right. Well since we're both here would you care to dance?"

"Jaune, never in a mil- actually that sounds wonderful."

"Really? Of course you want to dance. Shall we?" Even he couldn't hold back his genuine surprise. After all his failed attempts he finally suceeded! He slightly bowed and extending his arm out for Weiss to take. She did.

They were dancing the waltz. It was lucky for him that it happened to be one of the dances he practiced a lot when he was younger.

Lead with your right foot and then over. The Box step. Your sisters made you practice it with them remember Jaune, damn it! Okay that's right. Keep it up and you might actually complete you first dance.

"Wow, I didn't know you were such an experienced dancer."

"I grew up with six sisters and Jade so it make sense that I have some moves." He easily explained. He cursed himself for staying silent the whole dance.

"Thank you for the dance Jaune." Her hands loosened from his own as she walked back to her chair.

"You don't want to dance again?" He called out with a bit of desperation in his voice.

"No. I only wished to dance with you so I didn't look like a fool with no date. I do have a reputation to keep up you know."

"You mean... you didn't actually want to dance with me."

"No."

Pyrrha stuffed another cupcake in her face as she watched Jaune divorce from Weiss in a small argument with a frown on her face. She knew Weiss didn't actually enjoy the dance. She was just wearing her usual fake smile for the camera. Jaune must have been too enamored to notice it. She didn't mind Weiss most of the time. She could be a bit pushy some times, but she genuinely cared for her team mates and had an actual heart unlike your typical Schnee.

"Hi Jaune."

"Oh hey Pyrrha. How's your date going?"

"I didn't come here with a date."

"Jaune! What are you wearing!"

"I made a bet didn't I? That I would wear a dress if you didn't have a date. And an Arc never goes back on his word." Jaune had changed out of his suit and tie. His new change of clothes had a bit less handsome look to it, and his bare shoulders were a sight to behold. Pyrrha giggled. "Would you care for a dance?"

"That would be lovely." She took his outstretched hand as they walked over to the middle of the ballroom/dancefloor.

Her hands found their way to the back of his neck and his hands were pressed up against her back. Her glossy eyes locked with his as they stared into each other dreamily.

This was all she ever wanted. Back in the Emerald Forest when she threw her javelin to save him. She just wanted to be with him. To be happy.

"Hey, you know that time when we danced under the moonlight, gazing into each others eyes until the sun rose the next day?"

"I don't remember that."

"Oh you will Jaune, you will." She smiled up to him as he claimed her first kiss.
