The day came when Yang was to ask Viridis Nell out on a date. The plan was simple, she would simply go up to him and ask him out on a night of fun. Lunch came and it was time.
"You remember the plan, right?" Jaune asked Yang as they walked into the cafeteria.
"Of course I do! I'm just gonna make my way over to him and ask him if he wants to go out with me. Simple!"
"At least you remember, I know you sometimes have a bad memory." He said giving her a sideways glace.
"Oh please, name one time I-"
"You once forgot the passcode to your phone and you begged me for hours to help you unlock it." He said giving a deadpanned look.
Yang looked to the side, avoiding his glare. "W-well I-"
"You forgot your motorcycle needed a new tire and drove without changing it, resulting you in sliding and falling off your bike" He said moving closer to Yang's face.
She started leaning back. "That wasn't-"
"You once forgot that you were baking cookies and almost made CHARCOAL out of them!" He moved even closer.
She looked back at him, giving him a slight glare of her own. "Hey! That was-"
"You even forgot that we were trying to surprise Pyrrha last year on her birthday and spilled the beans that we were having a party for her." He said, giving his final point.
Yang just looked down at the floor in a defeated manner.
Jaune just sighed and patted her head, just don't forget this plan.
As they walked, Jaune noticed the boy in question was walking towards them, and so he hatched a plan of his own.
"Actually, forget the plan." He said, surprising Yang as she looked at him with a bit of confusion.
"Good luck!" He suddenly said as he put his leg in front of her, causing her to make contact with it as she took her next step, making her stumble forward as she tried to regain her balance.
She suddenly collided into someones chest, causing her to step back a bit.
"Whoa there, you okay?" She heard a male voice speak.
"Sorry... My friend just tried to trip me and..." As she looked up at the person she bumped into and realized it was Viridis Nell himself in front of her.
"Uhhhh..." She was a little shocked, but then she noticed Jaune walk past them, giving her a wink and a thumbs up as he walked away.
"That sneaky little bastard..." She mumbled to herself.
"What was that?" Viridis asked.
"Nothing!" She said quickly.
"Alright then." He said as he started walking away.
"Wait! I had something to ask you!" She said before he got any further.
"Oh?"
"You, me, let's hit a club tonight." She said nonchalantly.
"Are you asking me on a date?" He asked.
"What if I am?" She asked with a smirk.
"Then I say hell yeah!" He exclaimed with a grin.
"Excellent! Meet ya at this club tonight." She said as she showed him the location of said club.
"Got it! See you then." He said as he walked off.
Yang let out a sigh of content, then turned around to find the blonde idiot that tripped her in the first place.
Jaune walked away from the two after tripping Yang. He knew he had hell to pay for it, but just because he's helping his crush ask out another guy doesn't mean he cant mess with her in his own way.
He sat down in their usual spot, though no one else was there yet.
He looked over at the two as he saw Viridis walk away, but then having Yang call out for him.
"There's no way he would turn her down, who could?" He thought to himself.
He turned away from the two and looked at his food.
How long has he done this? He wondered. It's been years since he helped her with other guys, though it wasn't until two years ago that he realized his feelings for her.
He doesn't exactly remember how it happened, he only recalls looking at her one day and seeing her in a new light.
As he was lost in his thoughts, he felt someone smack his head.
"That's for tripping me you idiot!" Yang said with a huff as she sat down beside him.
"So how did it go?" He asked, ignoring the insult.
"Got me a date VB!" She exclaimed.
Jaune groaned at the mention of her nickname for him, Vomit Boy, or VB for short.
"Why wont you let go of that nickname?" He asked her, annoyed.
"Because it's fun to tease you! Besides, you threw up on my shoes." She said.
"I was sick!" He exclaimed.
"New shoes Jaune!" She retorted.
He let out a sigh as he just put his head on his arms.
"Anyways, you're gonna have to help me later on deciding an outfit." She said as she patter his back, standing up.
"Why me? Why don't you ask Blake or Weiss, hell even Ruby!" He said, turning his head to look at her.
"Because you're a guy, duh! Who else is better to decide what outfit a guy would like than you?" He couldn't deny that. Not only was he a guy, he was a guy that was crushing on her, so all the more reason that he would know what would make a guy more interested, not that she would know about his crush.
"Fine..." He said, giving up.
"That's the spirit! Now I need me some food, be right back." She said, walking away to buy food for herself.
Jaune let out a sigh as he turned his head back into his arms.
"You got roped into helping her again?" He heard a familiar male voice speak.
He looked up to see the source being Ren, with Nora at his side.
"Yeah... Now I need to help her decide an outfit." He said.
"Don't worry Jauney! I'm sure it wont be bad!" Nora said.
"Nora, last time I was at her house for two hours, two!" He said with a slight annoyance.
"Well you agreed to help her already, so no going back." Ren said plainly.
"I know..." Jaune said, sounding slightly tired.
Yang came back with some food in her hands and the others finally arrived at the table.
Lunch went by fast and once Jaune finished his food, he stood up and started walking to throw out his trash. As he took his first steps, Yang extended a leg out and tripped Jaune, just as he did to her earlier.
He stumbled forward and ended up bumping into a girl.
"Sorry sorry!" He apologized, not seeing who he bumped into.
"No no! It's alright, you just lost your footing, that's all." The girl said.
He looked at the person and saw two bunny ears on her head.
"No, my friend tripped me, probably to get revenge on me" He said rubbing the back of his head in embarrassment.
"Oh, that's alright. I know the feeling of having my friends doing the same to me." She giggled at the idea of her friends tripping her just for revenge.
"Well, I still should apologize to you for bumping into you. Sorry...?" Jaune trailed off, indicating for a name.
"Oh! Velvet, Velvet Scarlatina." She said her name with a smile.
"Jaune Arc." He said, returning the smile as he gave out a hand for her to shake.
They shook hands and parted ways. As he finally threw out his garbage, he walked back over to the table and thumped the top of Yang's head.
"Ow! What was that for?!" Yang cried out.
"You already smacked me over the head for tripping you, now its my turn." He said with a glare.
"Oh shush, besides, you seem to hit it off with that girl you bumped into."
"Yang you made me look like an idiot." He deadpanned.
"So yourself?" She said with a wide grin.
They could hear a few in the group snort a bit at the quip.
Jaune flipped her off as her stared off into space.
As he got lost in his thoughts again, he remembered one thing.
"Aw man, I'm probably gonna be stuck helping her for hours again." Jaune thought to himself.
