A/N
Ok, next chapter, here we go. Umm everything is the same as last chapters A/N except that I am rescinding the cold side to Jaune. One, it would just be too difficult to write a cold Jaune, and two, I don't think a character that is cold to others fits this fic. Maybe a sarcastic smart ass one, but definitely not a cold one. Anyway onto Chapter 2!
Pyrrha returned to consciousness only to feel pain. Not as intense as the pain she felt before she blacked out, but pain is pain. She slowly opened her eyes, trying to adapt to the brightness of the room she was in. Once the light seemed to sink back into the sockets and Pyrrha did not feel the need to squint any more she looked up to the whitewashed ceiling.
Pyrrha glanced at her arms feeling a tight fabric around them that turned out to be bandages. Her left arm was in a sling that was hung around her neck, and if she was correct her chest and parts of her legs were also wrapped in bandages.
Turning her head Pyrrha saw the walls were painted royal blue and were adorned with a myriad of posters of varying kinds. Leaning against the wall to her left was a set of crude armor complete with a small breastplate and shoulder guards. Two belts lay at the base of a sheath with a hilt sticking out of the top. On the opposite wall, was two small dressers separated by a closet that was partially open.
With a groan Pyrrha tried to sit up. Just as she started moving the door to the room at the foot of her bed opened and a boy who seemed to be her age walked through holding a tray with a plate and a bowl on top in one hand and a glass in the other.
"Whoa whoa whoa. Calm down there." The boy said as he walked over to the side of the bed and placed the tray and glass on the nearby nightstand. "Here, let me help you." He finished as he gently placed a hand on her back and helped her slowly sit up, adjusting the pillow to provide a cushion against the headboard.
"Now, here is some breakfast for you. There are also pills for you to take that should take the edge off the rest of the pain you should be feeling." The boy explained while setting the trayful of food on her lap.
"I'm sure you have a bunch of questions for me but those can wait till after you finish eating." The boy continued as if reading Pyrrha's mind. With a nod Pyrrha picked up her fork and began to dig into her food.
There was a bowl of oatmeal off to one side with a small saucer holding a small bowl of honey surrounded by an assortment of berries. The plate in the center held two fluffy looking pancakes that were topped with cut up strawberries. Next to that was three smaller plates. One with two sunny side up eggs, another with pieces of fresh bacon and sausage, and the final having two pieces of toast with a slice of butter off to the side in case it is wanted.
As Pyrrha began to eat she started to feel the hunger that had built up inside her, causing her to devour the food in front of her quickly, but not to the extent of being uncivilised. Her unprecedented hunger also brought more questions to mind as she eyed the boy who was now sitting on the floor next to the bed she was in. As she ate he thumbed through a comic(of which Pyrrha was a fan of) and hummed a seemingly nameless tune.
After finishing off her food Pyrrha placed the two small pills on the back of her tongue and downed what was left of the juice in her glass. The clink of the glass on the tray caused the boy to look up from his seat on the ground with a smile.
"OK, so now that you ate I guess I can start answering your questions." The boy said as he took the tray from Pyrrha and returned it to the nightstand then pulled a chair seemingly out of nowhere and took a seat on it in reverse so he was looking over the backrest.
"Well I guess we should first do introductions." Pyrrha said with an idle wave of her hand and a slightly blurry vision. Whatever Jaune gave her really worked.
"Oh, right. Forgot about that part. Ahem, my name is Jaune, Jaune Arc, short and sweet, the ladies love it." Jaune announced, saying the final part with the utmost confidence.
"Oh really?" Pyrrha said with a giggle.
"Well I hope they do." Jaune said as his confidence faded. "Do they?"
"Well Jaune, just by hearing your name I was swept off my feet and almost swooned." Pyrrha said as she changed her voice to sport a southern belle.
"Yeah, thanks. So what's your name if you don't mind me asking." Jaune replied while rubbing the back of his head in embarrassment.
"Pyrrha Nikos." Pyrrha responded with a smirk. Her thoughts beginning to jumble as what she believed to be really strong painkillers started to affect her more.
"Well, now that introductions are aside, what questions do you have for me?" Jaune asked with a smile.
"Well I guess first off how long was I asleep, and where am I?"
"Lets see, it's been just about two days since your fight in the forest and we are in my home on the outskirts of Vale on the edge of the forest I found you in."
"This is your house?" Pyrrha asked while furrowing her eyebrows.
"Oh, no I'm only sixteen. I live here with my parents and my seven older sisters who are currently away at their respective schools and won't be back till the end of their semester. My dad won't be back for a few weeks, something about having to deal with something over in Mistral and my mom is out shopping and told me to keep an eye on you."
"Ah well that makes sense. Do you know how long I will be incapacitated for? I don't want to be a bother to you and your family."
"It's no bother at all." Jaune said with a friendly smile. "As for your injuries I don't really know. That would be a question better suited for my mother."
"Ah well thank you for the food and everything you have done so fa…" Pyrrha began but was cut off by Jaune's scroll starting to ring.
"Ah it's my mom. One sec." Jaune said while getting up and answering the call.
"Hey mom whatcha need?"
"Yeah she's awake now."
"Yes, I made food for her and answered her questions."
"I gave her some of the one dad takes for his back pain."
"HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT?"
"She seems a little...out of it."
"Ah well thats good...huh?"
"Wait you want me to do what?"
"Can't that wait till you get home?"'
"Yes I think she is pretty but thats not the reason."
"BECAUSE SHE IS A GIRL AND I AM A TEENAGE BOY!"
"...No I don't want her injuries to get infected."
"Fine mom, i'll do it. Just don't expect me to do it next time."
"Yes."
"Yes."
"Love you too mom."
"Bye"
"Well that was an interesting conversation you had it seems." Pyrrha said with a smirk while bobbing her head back and forth listening to some tune that only she can hear.
"Yeah, right, interesting." Jaune said with a nervous smile and began to rub his neck in embarrassment. "So my mom told me to change your bandages...all of them. Hehe"
"Alright. Just be gentle, this will be my first time." Pyrrha said while giggling due to her drug addled mind. Jaune could only sigh and head out to get a fresh set of bandages.
