WOOO! Thanks guys for all the support I really appreciate it! By the way we finally have a piano chapter, but I feel like this chapter's been rushed and really bad so sorry about that. P.S Constructive criticism is needed.
ANYWAYS!
Enjoy!
The next morning Jaune felt drowsy and a lot more clumsy. When he got out of bed he made his way to the bathroom, until he hit his toe on the doorframe and quietly letting out a curse word. After his morning shower which wasn't all that great, he happen to forget bringing his uniform with him to the bathroom. He wrapped his towel around him and made a dash to his cupboard, trying to collect all his clothes as soon as possible. Pyrrha woke up unexpectedly and found a half naked Jaune again with his towel around his lower half. She stopped and stared at Jaune's muscular back for a good minute until he noticed and made a quick dash to the bathroom, and yet again, they were both blushing furiously.
Once Nora and Ren took a shower and got changed, they headed out the door and waited for team RWBY. Jaune was nervous, simply because Ruby and Weiss kissed his cheek and he wouldn't know what to say to them. The reason for his drowsiness and tired eyes was because he couldn't get that situation out of his head, and it haunted him throughout the night, he can tell this was gonna bite him in the ass later.
Team RWBY got ready and opened their door, only to find team JNPR waiting for them. Ruby and Weiss stared at Jaune again with smiles on their faces. Yang and Blake were confused and shocked when Ruby and Weiss came back to their dorm room giggling like lovestruck schoolgirls.
Weiss and Ruby quickly grabbed Jaune's arms, the left arm being held by Ruby and the right one being held by Weiss. When the other half of team RWBY and team JNPR saw this they were befuddled to say the least. When did Jaune Arc, the clumsy and scraggly blonde of Team JNPR get Ruby and ESPECIALLY Weiss's attention, Yang just had to ask.
"Umm.. when you said you were going to fix this dispute, what exactly did you mean" said Yang.
"Oh big sis, you wouldn't believe what he did last night. He was amazing! the way he used his finge-" But her mouth was covered by Jaune's hand.
"Huh?!" said Blake.
"JAUNE ARC!" exclaimed Pyrrha.
"HOW DARE YOU TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HER LIKE THAT!?" said a raging Yang, who's eyes were now blood red.
"Oh boy..." Ren facepalmed. Nora had no words to say, Instead, she just smiled. Jaune was scared, not even, he was probably very terrified, so terrified in fact it probably implanted in his brain as one of his worst phobia's he's gonna have. So he backed away a bit from everyone else, but the two girls made it hard for him to back up.
"Oh no no no you guys got the wrong Idea, Ignore Ruby's bad choice of words. What he did was he performed for us" Happily exclaimed Weiss, who was still holding onto Jaune right arm.
"Aww they got a performance... I want one too!" Yang exclaimed. The other girls thought about what Yang said and they wanted one too.
"I want a performance too" said Pyrrha.
"So do I" said Blake.
"C-could I have o-one too" asked Ren
"Shutup Ren..." said Nora, Ren whimpered in disappointment.
"I-I'll see if I've got time, but right now we've been standing in the hallway for the past minute now. We should really go down for breakfast" replied Jaune. Everyone nodded in agreement and they started walking to the cafeteria, although Ruby and Weiss were still clinging to Jaune's arms for dear life.
"Uhh guys... Could you let go please, my arm's getting numb" they reluctantly agreed to let go, but they still were clinging to his hands, never letting go like their life depended on it. Yang, Blake, Ren, Nora and Pyrrha were behind Ruby, Weiss and Jaune. They can see the flirting the two girls are giving to Jaune, and the uncomfortable fidgeting Jaune is giving off, though the scythe wielder and Rapier wielder don't seem to notice.
"Wow! they're head over heels for Jaune, he must've done something very romantic for them to fall very quickly" replied Yang.
"I agree, we've heard him sing before but it's nothing special... I mean, it's a unique and amazing talent but I wouldn't go as far as to fall for him that quickly" answered Pyrrha.
"I don't depict Jaune as the romantic type, but who knows..." said Blake.
They arrived at the cafeteria and women would still give him winks, waves and flirtatious looks. The guys however, seem to scowl and mutter curse words about the blonde knight, but Jaune just shrugged it off, completely forgetting it soon after. Pyrrha noticed this and sighed deeply, kinda sad that she was just a student at Beacon now, nothing more nothing less but as long it wasn't problematic.
The problem though was right next to Jaune. Ruby and Weiss didn't bother eating their breakfast and just stared at Jaune, forgetting the basic principle of having a great morning. Yang was worried about her sister, she thinks this might be unhealthy is she keeps staring at the blonde swordsman every morning.
"Ruby, would you please finish your food. You're gonna starve in the middle of class" responded Yang.
"I am having breakfast sis, it's a mixture of tall, blonde, scraggly and talented. A healthy combination if you ask me" said Ruby, still looking at the blonde knight like he was the most fascinating thing on earth.
"I'm also having breakfast, does 'Jaune Arc' sound familiar, I wouldn't mind having a taste of that" flirted Weiss.
"Guys, he's not breakfast, snap out of it and focus on eating your food"
"For me it is!" they said in Unison.
Yang was now annoyed, so she got up from her seat and dragged Jaune to Pyrrha.
"Pyrrha please take him to class, I don't want my sister and her partner to starve because of him" Pyrrha nodded in understanding and dragged Jaune to their first class. Ruby and Weiss were disappointed that he left, but understood why he had to leave.
The Leader and the Spartan walked to their class which was professor Ports Grimm Biology class. But on their way to class Deja vu settled in and people started calling out to Jaune.
"Hi Jaune~"
"Hey Jaune"
"What's up Jaune"
"You're great at singing Jaune!"
And yet again they were mostly girls. Jaune being the nice and caring person, just waved back and said hi to everyone who called out to him. But he didn't realise that Pyrrha was feeling down, upset that Jaune was focused more on his fans rather than his own teammate, not that she was jealous or anything. But she totally understood why he became famous in the first place and why he has fans. But whenever she witness Jaune talking and waving hi to his fans, she felt a little... left out, feeling like she was the third wheel, Jaune doesn't know it but Pyrrha has had a little crush on the swordsman. This happened when he took out an Ursa Major while protecting Cardin at the same time, his caring and forgiving attitude was what interested Pyrrha. But that interest turned into a small crush when his singing and guitar talent was released to the public. Jaune noticed Pyrrha was quiet and made an attempt to cheer her up.
"Pyrrha, what's wrong? you seem a little off today" asked a worried Jaune.
"It's nothing Jaune, just thinking about stuff" lied Pyrrha. Jaune could see the lie coming from her voice and decided that something was wrong.
"Pyrrha don't lie to me, I know something's up and I wanna know" said Jaune sternly.
"Jaune, like I said it's fine..." Pyrrha lied again.
"No it's not, you've been acting like this yesterday on our way to class and today" he sighed "Pyrrha. Meet me up at the roof after class. I wanna speak to you" His voice was commanding and sharp, like a mother scolding his own kid.
"But Jaun-" but was cut off.
"Pyrrha... Please"
Pyrrha let out a defeated sigh and just said a shallow "ok" before moving on to Grimm Biology.
Yang and Blake were doing no better, they both had to control Ruby and Weiss from chasing after Jaune. After all, they could see Jaune and Pyrrha from the corner of their eye and tried their absolute hardest to hold them both down, but it wasn't enough for them to lose their grip on the two lovestruck teenagers. Yang thought enough was enough and stood in front of the two, blocking their view of Jaune Arc. Her eyes turned red and heat started to radiate from her body.
"Ok guys, just what the hell is going on with you two?! You've got better things to do than look at him!" Raged Yang, people took glimpses of the action going down but they instantly looked away when Yang narrowed her eyes at them.
"Oh sis, you just don't understand it yet but you will"
"Understand?! Understand what?!"
"He's such a rom-" But her hand was covered by Weiss.
"Ruby, don't tell her that would be a spoiler, she has to experience it herself"
"Did he... do it with you?" asked Blake.
"Oh no he hasn't... Not yet at least" winked Weiss.
"Do you realise what you're doing, you're like Achieve men fangirls that run at their favourite popstar at a moment's notice?!"
"That's the best kind of fangirls-"
"No it's not Ruby!" the brawler sighed.
"I would expect something like this coming from Ruby-"
"HEY!"
"-but not from you Weiss, what's the sudden get up?" said Blake.
"Oh in due time you guys will see, and I'll be right as ever" replied Weiss, and they both walked off leaving Yang and Blake to their thoughts.
"Sometimes I'm worried for them..."
"Yeah me too"
"Do you thinks it's going to happen?"
"What's going to happen?"
"The Harem"
"Of course not, I know how to control myself, Yang you only go for hot looking guys and Pyrrha knows her limits" said Blake "So no, I don't think a Harem will happen..."
"Ok I'll trust your word on this" said Yang, and walked off to class with Weiss and Ruby giggling like crazy.
After classes have finished
Jaune, Ren and Nora finished their last class which was Remnant history by Dr Oobleck. They felt exhausted, Mentally, Physically and Emotionally. Mental exhaustion was from Dr Oobleck and professor Peach, who kept speaking non stop and the students had to write down every important note. The Physical exhaustion was from Professor Ozpin and Professor Goodwitch's class on Combat and stamina, Professor Ozpin made them run laps around the school to test each person's stamina levels without needing the use of Aura. Apparently he said it was important to use your bodies own muscular system when aura levels run low.
Then there was the Emotional exhaustion, Professor ports stories always used to be boring and dumb. But today was different, his life story and love life was truly inspiring and heartbreaking that some students cried. Even Jaune and Ren had tears flowing down their cheeks, it was truly sad to hear Prof. Ports lover and best friend sacrifice herself to save other hunters from very dangerous Grimm. after a couple of hours, they still feel sympathy for Professor port and completely respected his stories.
The three members of JNPR arrived at their dorm room, but the odd thing is Pyrrha isn't here. They wondered where she could have been, they checked the library, school yard, previous classrooms and cafeteria. But she wasn't anywhere to be found, eventually they gave up and headed back to their room. It would be a lie if they weren't worried about where she might have been but confident enough that she is capable of protecting herself. Jaune felt very tired and stressed from his classes and decided to go to his secret music room.
"I'll be back later, just need to release some stress, Ren don't let Nora break my guitar"
Ren chuckled "Alright be back soon" and with that Jaune left the room.
"Did you hear that Nora, don't break his guitar..."
"He didn't say I can't play it!" answered Nora, she then grabbed Jaune's guitar bag and unzipped the bag. She lifted the guitar out of the bag and then she grabbed a pick and started strumming it like it was an electric guitar.
"Nora I have to do homework, can you keep it down please" pleaded Ren.
"Sorry Ren, but you should of completed all your homework at professor Ports class, so I ignored his boring story and did my work there" said Nora.
"Nora have some respect!, if you were listening to his story you would see the pain in his eyes and the love he had for his best friend!" fumed Ren.
"I agree it was very sad, but at least I didn't cry my eyes out" retorted Nora.
"N-Nora, W-what are you t-talking about, I didn't c-cry" stuttered Ren.
"Yes you were I even took photos of you and Jaune crying your eyes out" Nora giggled. She opened up her scroll and saw Jaune with a tissue in his hand and Ren sobbing on his sleeves.
"It's because the story... was so sad..." cried Ren. Nora looked at his best friends eyes and saw hurt and sorrow.
"I agree, it was very sad, come here you big lughead and stop crying your eyes out" Nora hugged Ren comfortingly and Ren hugged back, crying on Nora's uniform.
"I-I don't w-wanna lose you Nora" sobbed Ren.
"Shut up Ren and stop being so dramatic" said Nora.
"Ok I'll stop..."
"Good boy" said Nora smiling.
Jaune was walking to his secret room until he got a message on his scroll, he opened it up and saw it was from Pyrrha.
I'm up at the roof if you wanna talk to me - Pyrrha.
Jaune sighed in relief that she was okay, but he can't help but feel a hint of jealousy or anger from the message. He changed his destination and made his way to the stairs, but not before someone bumped into him. He looked down and saw Blake was the one who bumped into him.
"Oh sorry Blake I didn't see you there"
"It's fine Jaune, but I have to go now" She said, and she ran past Jaune into the opposite direction. It looked like she wasn't in a very good mood and her eyes looked teary than normal. But Jaune just shrugged it off and kept on walking to the stairs that lead to the roof. He walked up the stairs and opened the door to the roof, and there he saw Pyrrha overlooking all of Beacon in a dazzling sunset on the horizon. Pyrrha eventually heard someone open the door and she turned around to see Jaune there standing by the door with a look of worry and confusion.
"Hello Jaune" she said. Jaune approached Pyrrha but as soon as he got close enough Pyrrha turned back to watch the sunset and the view of Beacon academy.
"Pyrrha what's wrong?" asked Jaune.
"Well I've been feeling kinda..." but her last words have been whispers and he had trouble hearing them.
"You been feeling what?"
"I've been feeling... left out and kinda lonely" mumbled Pyrrha.
"What why?"
"Well... Because... I-I don't want you to think of me this way, sorry but I don't think I can s-say it" replied Pyrrha.
"Pyrrha, I'm here to help, just voice your problem and I'll do my best to help you fix it" said a worried Jaune. Pyrrha sighed and gave in, hoping that her friendship with Jaune wouldn't end if she said it.
"I've been feeling left out because... Nobody recognises me anymore for who I am, and ever since you've become famous people have been more focused on you, b-but it's not like I'm j-jealous or anything and I totally understand why you've become famous these past few day-" But was cut off by Jaune hugging her.
"Pyrrha I'm here if you need me, you're not alone" Jaune said, comforting Pyrrha in his embrace, Pyrrha hugged back at Jaune's warmth.
"Thanks Jaune, sorry for putting this on you, I just needed to tell someone..."
"Pyrrha, you're my partner and best friend, you're special to me and you come first than anyone else" said Jaune. Pyrrha dug her head at the crook of his neck, her tears flowing freely down her cheeks and soaking Jaune's uniform. They released the hug and Jaune wiped a tear off of Pyrrha's cheek.
"Now c'mon, I'll show you how special you really are" said Jaune, grabbing Pyrrha's hand and guiding her to his secret room.
"Where are we going?" asked Pyrrha.
"You'll see, just follow me" Pyrrha obliged and followed Jaune.
They walked down the stairs and went through a couple left and rights but eventually, they arrived at a wall with a guitar sticker stuck to it. Jaune smiled at Pyrrha's confused face. To rid of her confusion he walked up to the wall and placed his hand on it to release some aura. A button popped open and Jaune pressed it, soon enough the wall started shape shifting into a glass door that lead to a room. Pyrrha was amazed at the shape shifting door but still had a look of confusion when she saw total darkness through the glass door.
Jaune opened the door and turned on a switch to the right of the door, the chandelier flicked on a bright yellow colour and Pyrrha was amazed at every intricate design and condition of the room, the instruments look brand new and the floor was clean. To her it looked like a ballroom with a Piano in the centre and guitars sitting on racks near the wall, her face was full of excitement and Joy. She glanced over at Jaune and he was sitting on the piano bench testing each key on the keyboard. When he was glad they were working, he gestured Pyrrha to sit next to him on the bench. Pyrrha obliged and sat next to Jaune, also amazed at the shiny keyboard.
"Jaune, how did you find this place?! It's amazing" Pyrrha wondered.
"Thanks, this place was here for a long time and professor Ozpin shown me this when professor Goodwitch called me up on the intercoms"
"Wow, why didn't you tell anyone about this?" asked Pyrrha.
"I just did" answered Jaune. Pyrrha's face flushed a bright red and Jaune chuckled at her.
"Here, let me sing a song for you, are you ready?" She nodded in excitement. He warmed up his singing voice and placed his hands on the keyboard, then he started singing.
Bruno mars - Just the way you are.
Oh her eyes her eyes, make the stars look like they're not shining
Her hair her hair falls perfectly without her trying.
She's so beautiful, and I tell her everyday.
Yeah, I know I know when I complement her she won't believe me
And it's so, it's so sad to think she don't see what I see.
But every time she asks me 'do I look okay, I say'
When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change.
'Cause you're amazing, just the way you are
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while.
'Cause you're amazing, just the way you are.
Yeahh.
Her lips, her lips I could kiss them all day if she let me.
Her laugh, her laugh she hates but I think it's so sexy.
She's so beautiful and I tell her everyday.
Oh you know, you know, you know I'd never ask you to change
If perfect's what you're searching for then just stay the same.
So don't even bother asking if you look okay, you know I'll say.
When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change.
'Cause you're amazing, just the way you are
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while.
'Cause girl you're amazing, just the way you are.
The way you are, the way you are.
Girl you're amazing, just the way you are
When I see your face, there's not a thing I would change.
'Cause you're amazing just they way you are.
And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause girl you're amazing, just the way you are.
Yeahh!.
Jaune finished his solo and smiled at himself, proud of his work. He looked over at Pyrrha and she was staring back dreamily with eyes full of love and lust. Jaune waved a hand in front of her face but she wouldn't flinch or anything, she kept staring at Jaune like a lovestruck teenager. What the hell is wrong with her thought Jaune.
"Pyrrha umm... Are you ok?"
"Yes I'm fine Jaune, actually I'm MORE than fine, I'm great!" Exclaimed Pyrrha.
"So umm... Why are you staring at me?" asked Jaune.
"Because you're cute" she sighed dreamily "And I just wanna do this" she moved her heard forward and kissed Jaune's cheek and Jaune, yet again, stopped working. He was shocked and wide eyed that Pyrrha would do something like that.
"Thanks for the solo Jaune, I really liked it!" said Pyrrha
Pyrrha turned around and headed for the door but not before saying one last thing to Jaune.
"Jaune I'll be waiting back at the dorm room if you ever need me" winked Pyrrha and she left Jaune sitting by the piano bench, trying to process his thoughts and back up his brain. Eventually he spoke but only said three words
"What... the... hell?"
