Chapter 4

As morning came, Jaune started to open his eyes. As he opened them, he was met with a red-haired girl, staring back at him.

"Ruby," he started. "How long have you been sitting there?"

"Um, just now," Ruby said, with a nervous grin.

Jaune then started to get up.

"Where are you going," Ruby asked.

"I think it would be best if I go," he replied, noticing Yang staring at him.

"But, aren't you going to train."

"Okay, I'll come back later, when I have cleaner clothes."

"But you're just going to get them dirty anyway. So, why don't you train first, and then change."

"You…make a good point."

"I do," Ruby said, grinning.

"So, where is this gym of yours," Jaune asked.

"Follow me."

As Ruby led Jaune to the gym, Yang just sighed, and left the house.

As they went to the Gym, Ruby asked. "So, what do you want to use first?"

Jaune looked around to see what she had. There were treadmills, punching bags, and weight sets.

"Let's try the weight sets," he said.

As he laid on the set, Ruby asked "Do you want start with ten pounds, or five pounds?"

"Anything's good."

Then, Ruby placed the weight, and waited for Jaune to lift it. But, as he tried, the bar almost fell on him, as he quickly said "Too heavy! To heavy! Too heavy! Too heavy! Too heavy! Too heavy!"

"Maybe I should've put the five pound ones," Ruby said, helping Jaune lift the bar.

After that day, Jaune kept coming back, ready to train. And every day, he would get better. Ruby was impressed of how much he progressed. After Jaune was done with the punching bag, Ruby said "Maybe we should take a break."

"No, I'm good," Jaune said, going back to punching the bag.

"Jaune, come on, everyone needs a break from doing something."

As she said this, Jaune sighed, and replied "Ok, I'll take a breather."

Ruby then saw the determination in his eyes, and said "You really want to train, don't you?"

"Yes," he said.

After a few seconds of thinking, Ruby said "I have an idea that will give us what we both want."

"What?"

"SWIMMING," Ruby shouted, as they reached the pool.

"Swimming," Jaune questioned.

"Yeah. The water will relax you, and you can exercise at the same time."

"That's…a good idea, Ruby. Great job."

This made Ruby's check slightly go pink. "Thanks. Now, I'll be right back. I need to put my swimsuit on."

Before she opened the door to the house, Jaune said "Wait?! What do I swim in? I didn't exactly bring any swimwear."

"You can use your shorts," Ruby answered, before closing the door.

As she left, Jaune slowly took off his shirt, showing his new muscles and abs. He then went beside the pool, and put both of his feet in it. As he sat there, he heard the door open behind him, followed by voice.

"I'm back," Ruby shouted, closing the door behind her.

Jaune turned to look at her, but blushed at the sight. Her choice of swimwear was a red bikini with black spots on it. She walked up to Jaune and sat by him.

"So, how's my outfit," she asked, making Jaune blush.

"I-it…looks…good on you," Jaune muttered.

This comment made Ruby smile, and hug her friend. This, however, made the blonde-haired boy blush harder, as her…assets rubbed against his arm. Then, the two just sat there, as Ruby spoke.

"Are we just going to sit here, forever," she groaned. "Or, are we going to swim."

"Can't we just sit here for a few more minutes," Jaune replied.

"Mmm…Nope!"

Then, she pushed Jaune into the pool, which made him scream. "Ruby, don't do that again!" As he screamed, Ruby jumped into the pool with him.

After an hour of swimming, the two swam to the shallow side of the pool, and stood near the edge.

"That was fun," Jaune said, panting.

"See, I told you," Ruby said, smiling, splashing water on him.

"M-maybe we could do this again."

As he said that, the two started to stare at each other, blushing. But, before they could do anything, the heard the door opened.

"Ruby? What are you doing?"

Ruby turned, and saw her sister. "Oh, hi Yang. I'm just swimming with Jaune here."

"Well, maybe he should go home. I'm mean, it is getting late."

"She's right," Jaune replied, as he got out of the pool. "I need to go home."

As he helped Ruby out of the pool, Yang eye's widened, as she said "Ruby?! When did you start wearing…that?!"

"Start wearing what?"

Yang than pointed to her outfit and said "That. I've never, ever seen you wear a bikini before."

This made Ruby blush, as she said "Well, my other ones were…dirty! That's right, dirty."

"But…you've haven't swam in-"

"Yang! Just, please go away."

Yang just smirked and said "Alright, I'll leave you be."

As she left, Jaune was about to put his shirt back on and leave, as Ruby shouted "Wait!"

Jaune was confused, as Ruby grabbed her phone, went next to Jaune, put her arm around him and said "Smile!" She then brought her phone up high, ready to take a picture.

"Come on, Jaune! Smile!"

Jaune just sighed, and smiled.

After taking the picture, she looked at it and said "Great picture Jaune."

"Yeah, good. Great. I got to go, Ruby," Jaune said, grabbing his belongings, and sprinting towards home. "I'll see you tomorrow!"

After having dinner with his family, Jaune's 8 year-old sister, Lily, wanted to watch X-ray and Vav. After she fell asleep during the Mad King's first appearance, Jaune picked her up, brought her to her room, and placed her on her bed. As he gently closed the doors, and went to his room, he heard a bleep coming from his phone, indicating that he had gotten a message. He brought out his phone, and saw that it was from Ruby. He opened it, and saw the message.

You didn't have time to see how the picture was. So, here it is. Hope you like it. Xoxo!

He then saw that there was an attachment. He opened it, and a picture of a shirtless Jaune and Ruby in her red and black spotted bikini. He kept looking at Ruby, and blushed. He closed the attached picture, and messaged Ruby.

Looks great, thanks for sending it

He then placed the phone on his desk, put on his pajamas, and went to sleep.

Sorry if it was too short, and if I messed up on something. Reviews would help.
