A/N: Sorry for taking some time to update, been busy with school and I got sick for a week.
Waking up Jaune had a minor headache and his eyes were somewhat sore. The first thing he noticed was his shirt was off, sitting up he saw his shirt across the room. He got up so fast he almost jumped off the couch and immediately banged on Neo's door.
"Neo! Open up!" Jaune yelled but she didn't budge, then his scroll buzzed. Running to the coffee table he grabbed the scroll and it popped open. It was a message from Neo.
Listen up you idiot, I was ordered to check your body for any scars. I don't know why but Roman asked me to give you a quick look. So stop fucking banging my god damn door you shit or I will shove my umbrella so far up your ass I swear to Mounty Oum you'll wish you were dead. I have a headache and I can't deal with your idiocy.
Jaune sighed, rubbed his eyes, and saw multiple cards of lien on the coffee table. Next to the lien was a note folded in half, opening the note Jaune read:
Hey Jauney boy, it's me Roman. So I know you're broke but I thought a little extra cash would help you socialize in the big city.
Jaune picked up the lien and got ready to head out, he was starving and felt like getting some good breakfast. Before he could go his morals got the better of him and he walked up to Neo's room. "Hey Neo, I'm heading out for breakfast… You wanna come or something?" He knew that she would either follow him or tag along since she had to protect him but he wanted an answer first. A little amount of time had passed and Jaune could hear her unlock the door. Out came little Neo, she looked somewhat tired with small bags under her eyes. Heading out the door, they were both ready to go get some grub.
Walking down a couple of blocks Jaune had realized that he was missing the lien. Panicking he started searching wherever it could possibly be, checking pockets, back pockets, pieces of clothing, anything. His panic was subsided due to Neo holding something in front of Jaune, his wallet. Giving Neo a dirty look he grabbed the wallet and put it in his back pocket. "That wasn't funny." she however replied with a simple shrug and a sly smile.
Walking down Jaune saw a diner that looked decent. Entering into the diner he was reminded of his hometown favorite burger place, come to think of it the place might've been a chain restaurant.
Sitting down at a booth a waiter walked up to Jaune and Neo. "Hi my name is LeTasha, if you need anything just call, o'kay?" Jaune smiled and looked at the menu. Again the menu looked really similar to the diner at his home town, he was 80% sure that this place was a chain. Before LeTasha could leave to another table, Jaune got her attention.
"Hey LeTasha, could I get the meat lovers sandwich with a coke?" LeTasha nodded writing something down and looked back up, "Anything else?" Jaune looked a second time to find the dessert section, "Yeah I'll get an apple pie." LeTasha wrote down a few things and looked over towards Neo.
Neo just raised her hand and moved it slightly side to side and LeTasha knew what she wanted. "Alright, well I got everything. Now like I said before, y'all need anything just holler for me." with LeTasha gone and both Jaune and Neo alone he thought maybe he could pry some info of this odd job.
"So Neo, have you been here before?" Neo responded by tilting her hands from up to down. "I see, so is the food here decent?" Neo gave the same gesture with her hand. Not knowing how to continue the conversation Jaune gave up, he knew from past experience thanks to his sisters that she was giving him no answer.
Eventually LeTasha came with the food, as Jaune ate he was now 100% sure that the diner he always goes to was a chain. While his meat lover sandwich was packed with all the fats you could imagine, Neo however had gotten a sundae filled with different types of ice cream. "Hey Neo, how did you meet Roman?" instead of some hand gesture she just gave him the silent treatment. "Alright nice talk." knowing he wasn't going anywhere he finally gave up.
After Jaune and Neo finished their meal he payed the check and they left. Walking down the street, Jaune decided to try doing some sightseeing. Being a kid who lived out in the boonies the city of Vale was like wonderland.
"Neo do you know any good sightseeing places? I've never really visited Vale so I have no idea." walking ahead Neo wave for Jaune to follow him as they strolled down the road. What seemed like an hour of walking he noticed how each block slowly became more ghetto, thuggish looking men talking in dark alleyways, he even was 90% sure he saw a dead body. As the two turned a corner Jaune could hear a loud beat come off a building. "Neo what is this place?" like usual she ignored him.
Entering the building Jaune ears were pounded by techno music. Still following Neo he felt like he was entering a place he wasn't suppose to be in, the smell of alcohol gave him a feeling this was a more grown up location. Even with his doubts he didn't want to deal with whatever would meet him if he were to ditch Neo.
While the lobby was loud the main room was absolutely dreadful, with people jumping up and down and the dj ramping the volume to an eleven Jaune could literally not hear his own thoughts. Being pushed around didn't help either, causing him to lose sight of Neo. Eventually he was pushed to the bar, with a headache he pulled a chair out and sat down. "What would you like?" the bartender spoke, he was dressed in a black suit, red sunglasses, and a black fedora.
"I'm only 17" Jaune never thought about drinking, ever since he was little his parents burned that alcohol is bad in his mind.
"Doesn't matter kid, you with Neo and what she says go." learning this Jaune stood up and looked around for Neo, but due to her small figure he couldn't spot her.
A sigh left his mouth and looked at the menu on a wall. "I'll have… How about you suggest me the best drink for a lightweight?" even with a shitty joke Jaune could feel the awkwardness. The bartender shrugged and started working on a cocktail.
Handing Jaune the cocktail he shrugged and took a sip of the drink. "So what is this drink?"
"Bourbon Mint Iced Tea, it has sugar-" before the bartender could explain what was in the drink Jaune walked off leaving a couple of lien.
"Whatever." Jaune mumbled as he walked through the jumping crowd.
Slowly he started to realize his glass was starting to get empty. Walking back to the bartender he half slammed his glass onto the bar table, "BARTENDER! ANOTHER ONE!" even with his yelling no one even seemed to have noticed him. The bartender gave a low groan and started whipping up another cocktail. Pouring the drink in the glass the bartender made a pay up gesture. Jaune threw the lien on the table and stumbled back into the crowd.
"Asshole."
Stumbling around Jaune looked around again to actually spot Neo, "N… NEO!"
Looking behind her she spotted Jaune, the drunken idiot was waving at her. Realizing how big of a mistake it was to leave that idiot lightweight, seeing the audience he was making by acting like a total drunk. Now she was the one to give a loud sigh and walked up to Jaune giving anyone who gave her weird looks a death stare. Looking up at Jaune Neo sucker punched him, knocking him out.
Next thing Jaune could remember was feeling his head bumping on the ground. A groan left his mouth and he looked up to see Neo carrying him by his foot. "Wha… What happened?" Neo picked up her scroll and showed Jaune a note You got so drunk I had to sock you to not embarrass me anymore. All he could say was, "Oh." With that he lowered his head back on the ground and rubbed his eyes.
When Jaune felt somewhat ok he finally got up and started walking. The alcohol in him hadn't fully gotten out of his system but he was still able to walk a straight line.
"So Neo, it's um… Not everyday a girl like you can pull a guy as big as me, you must have quite the muscle." Neo just silently giggled at that statement. "Oh so you do have emotion." in response she gave him a punch. "Ow." picking her scroll she typed in and texted Jaune. Just because you are making me smile doesn't mean I ain't pissed off of your shit. Backing up a bit Jaune showed that he had surrendered, "Alright, I get it. No more talking." Neo smiled and started walking again.
Entering the apartment Jaune felt exhausted, his body was done with the day and so was he. Falling down onto the couch he was out in a second.
Neo shaked her head and walked into her room knowing what was planned for tomorrow.
A/N: So like I said I took forever and I'm sorry. Honestly I really am trying to get this series done, hopefully next chapter will come out sooner and have more weight but I can't make any promises.
