Year 13X9 NRE
Jaune Fall groaned as he heard a knocking at his apartment door. A glance at his clock displayed the time as seven am. On a Saturday.
"Who the hell…" Jaune trailed off as he swung out of bed while grabbing teddy bear number eighty-five. Said teddy bear flew one foot forward before falling harmlessly against the ground. Still in a daze, he failed to grasp that he'd fallen asleep in his boxers as he opened his door.
"Good mo-JAUNE!" came the exclamation of shock from one General Ironwood. Without even thinking about it Jaune snapped into a salute before grimacing.
"So General…why are you here today?" being greeted by military wasn't unusual anymore. Since his engagement to Weiss both Walden and Ironwood insisted on protection. Typically they were disguised soldiers but for the general to show up? Something must be special today.
"Well Jaune we've caught wind of the possibility of someone meaning you harm to get to the Schnee's." Oh, well that could be a problem. "Since its new year's eve we figure they mean to send a message of some sort. Due to this, we're having you moved to Schnee mansion now instead of later for the gala."
Jaune gave him a blank stare before sighing and walking back inside. He slipped on a pair of black dress shoes and socks, a black dress shirt and a grey overcoat for his look today. Looking at himself in the mirror he couldn't help but grin. Damn did he look good. He'd have Weiss do his grey tie later and simply stuffed it inside his coat pocket. It might have been the fact that it was New Year's Eve but he couldn't help but reminisce about the engagement talk with Weiss.
-flashback -
"Waitwaitwaitwaitwait what?" Weiss had her mouth agape as she stared at him. He honestly couldn't blame her. He must have given Declan that exact same look earlier.
"Our parent's want us engaged. I told your father that I'd accept if you did" here came the tough part. "I also…really like you Weiss" Jaune mumbled the last part. Oh how he hated acting like a shy teenager in love. Sure he was a teenager and yeah Weiss was pretty and all, but damn it he did not want to be engaged.
Was Weiss' face turning red? Was she smiling? Dear Oum above Walden was right about her liking him back!
"I…I like you too. I do think it's early for us to be engaged" yes, yes don't agree! "…but I think we'll get to know each other even better this way. Also both of our parents agree so I'll say yes" she finished off. Her reasoning did genuinely surprise Jaune somewhat. It was true that this would inevitably end up with him spending more time with her but he didn't realize she wanted to spend even more time with him after the shopping trip.
When the hell was a guy supposed to get his training in?!
-Flashback end-
Fortunately he did still manage to get training in during the past three months. Sporadic trips outside the walls and mock-fights against Winter Schnee had done wonders for his improvement.
Never let it be said that Atlas Specialists knew how to go easy on teenagers.
Jaune decided against keeping the general waiting and left his apartment after placing his knives inside his dress pant pockets.
"So General Ironwood, I'm aware that the gala is typically reserved for more…elite members of society. Despite being engage to Weiss should I expect any animosity?" he asked to be prepared. When their engagement was first made public news they had become a near celebrity couple overnight in Atlas. The information was met with a variety of reactions but the ones that Jaune noticed the most were disdain. His fellow students knew of his excellence and weren't against it, other adults however wondered how someone not from an aristocratic background could be engaged with a Schnee.
It reached a point where he'd had to covertly assassinate one of the more outspoken members purely because he was being a pest. He hadn't been able to sneak out of the city for weeks due to increased security but he'd say it was worth it. That he'd framed another outspoken aristocrat to take the fall only increased his glee.
His perpetual good mood during a time of crisis had ironically been seen as a positive thing since it helped his fellow students keep their cool.
"I don't believe you'll have to deal with that much, if at all. There isn't a person alive in Atlas that would question Walden's choice in son-in-law in his own house" Ironwood responded with a smirk.
"No, I suppose that would be rather unintelligent" drawled Jaune as he entered into a heavily armored limo with the General. Upon entering he opted to close his eyes and meditate before heading over. The fact that this cut Ironwood off from making small talk that they both found inane only helped.
He'd been in Atlas for just over ten months and it honestly felt nice. If there was one thing that Jaune missed while traveling with Cinder it was a home. His apartment had become the only place he'd lived in this long besides his old home before he ran away. He had managed to penetrate and make connections with various politicians, teachers and military members due to his reputation as Atlas' next rising star.
Excellent grades and combat skills, sociable and engaged to a Schnee? Yeah he could understand why even at the young age of fourteen he attracted a lot of attention.
Thank Oum that he'd managed to convince Weiss to keep his birthday party to just her family and him. She'd been upset that she couldn't throw him a bigger one and that Cinder wasn't coming so he'd had to come up with an excuse. He'd learned that day that Weiss, like any other girl her age, would cave under the statement of "I don't want to spend my birthday with anyone but you". He was forever thankful that his fiancée was strong and intelligent by most standards. While he wouldn't go as far as to say he liked her a lot, he could feel himself warming up to the girl and didn't particularly mind.
Damn teenage hormones.
Jaune sighed and decided he'd rather just nap till they arrived.
Weiss Schnee was not someone who enjoyed getting up in the morning. Especially on weekends. When her sister chose to mention that her fiancée was coming over however? That was different. Certainly not because she was happy to see him of course. Getting out of bed she was dressed in a light blue nightgown with her hair down. She smiled softly at the thought of seeing Jaune again and spending the day with him. When Weiss first agreed to the engagement she had some doubts but had agreed because she was infatuated with him.
The infatuation hadn't decreased, but the reasoning behind it had improved. After spending three months getting to know Jaune she'd learned some interesting things about him. He was an arrogant twat. There was no denying his skills, fighting semi-decently against Winter twice a week was pretty impressive, his humility and even his genial manner but there was an underlying arrogance to his attitude. Jaune also had incredible memory. He'd remember things about others that she'd forget and would use the information to help them.
Weiss had also found out a month ago that he was a runaway. That it happened because of a surprise she planned was amusing.
-flashback-
Weiss had a delighted smile on her face as her bodyguard finally managed to pick the lock to Jaune's apartment. Why was she having a trained member of the Atlas military help her break into her fiancé's apartment? She wanted to surprise him by waking him up to spend the day with her instead of simply calling him via scroll again.
"Alright, it's open. Please don't mention to your father or the general that I helped with this." She'd used the almighty powers of her puppy dog eyes and constant nagging to eventually convince him. The reminder that Jaune could sometimes be a sarcastic ass to her bodyguards only helped out.
"No problem, thanks again!" Weiss stated and then slowly crept into the apartment. She'd only been inside once before and it hadn't seemed to change. There were bare essentials and the whole place was plain, uninteresting. How did someone so interesting live somewhere so boring? Glancing about again she pushed it from her mind as she slowly pushed open the bedroom door.
"There you are" Weiss whispered softly. She couldn't see anything but the back of his head but there was no mistaking that blond mop of hair. Deciding to wake him up in style she formed a glyph in front of her and sent out a torrent of wind to rip his covers off him.
Her eyes widened in shock as Jaune's eyes snapped open and he launched himself at her. Weiss found herself struggling to breathe as she was slammed into the wall and his forearm blocked her airways. Jaune's other arm was on her chest pinning her to the wall. What she noticed the most were his eyes. All of the warmth and affection she was used to seeing was gone, replaced by unfeeling cold blue.
She'd never been scared of Jaune before.
"J-jaune!" Weiss managed to squeak out. He blinked as his eyes were clouded with confusion, realization then horror as he leapt back. While she regained her breath she noticed that this was the first time she saw her fiancé shirtless, and that there was a massive scar running from his shoulder to his hip.
"It was from a hunting trip with my dad" damn she must have been staring.
"Mr. Fall?" Weiss realized that while she knew of Jaune's mother she never asked about his dad. Seeing him visibly wince meant that he must not have meant to say that.
Perhaps being woken up like that was more shocking than she realized.
"Well…ah fuck it. It was going to come up sooner or later. I'd rather tell you than have you find out from someone else down the line. Cinder's not my real mom, I ran away from my real parents."
-end flashback-
That he'd run away from home to get stronger was something she genuinely admired Jaune for. Granted it was dumb at his age, but he'd survived. He was arrogant, kind, scary and sweet all in one package.
A knocking at the door broke Weiss from her thoughts. Assuming it was Winter she walked over and swung the door open.
"Hey Weiss" Jaune simply stood there with a smile. It was his smile widening as his eyes roamed her form that alerted her.
She'd answered in nothing but her nightgown. As her face flushed she reached out to slam the door shut only to be interrupted by Jaune placing a hand on her cheek.
"what, wait ,why?" they'd hugged before and held hands but this was new territory. Oh Oum above she could feel her face burning red as she struggled to maintain eye contact.
"You look lovely but I think you'll need more clothing for the ball later this evening. I'll meet you downstairs for breakfast" with that Jaune leaned in, placed a small kiss on her forehead and walked away.
What the FU-
10 hours later
Jaune smiled to himself as he read a book on physics on a sinfully comfortable couch in Walden's office. In peace. Without Weiss bugging him to go shopping. Or fighting. Or really anything.
He'd been left free all day to read Walden's books without interruption.
"I'm a fucking genius" he complimented himself. Who would've thought that a simple kiss on the forehead would make Weiss blush, stammer and avoid him all throughout breakfast AND lunch. He hadn't planned on the kiss. Weiss had just looked so damn adorable that he couldn't help himself, plus they were engaged, some physical contact was expected right?
"Well Mr. Genius, care to tell me why my sister seems to be avoiding you like the plague?" tilting his head back he saw an amused Winter Schnee looking down at him.
"Well I complimented her, kissed her forehead, and now she's super embarrassed about it. She'll come around though" Jaune replied casually. He couldn't help but chuckle as Winter sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose. Winter had become a measuring rod for him. While he couldn't beat her yet he swore he would by the time he finished Haze Academy. Being able to beat an Atlas Specialist at the age of 17? Cinder would be pleased.
"Okay then, she should be finishing up changing into her dress for the evening…" the ball was an entire hour away. He would never understand women. "…so could you please talk to her? If she looks uncomfortable around you during the ball, people will talk" Winter explained. Ah so that was it.
Damn, he was just getting to the good part too! Putting the book down with a sigh he rose and followed Winter out of the office. Jaune continued walking through the mansion noting how the setting sun reflected off the furniture and walls. If he had to use a word to describe the mansion at this hour he'd use peaceful. It was similar to his apartment in that regard. Arriving at Weiss' bedroom door he lightly rapped his fingers against it.
"Who is it?" he heard Weiss' voice call out from inside. Oh good, she'd learned something.
"It's me, Jaune, the fiancé you've been hiding from" he called back. He smirked as the door slammed open and we was met with a fierce glare from Weiss. Taunts would always work with her. His smirk died as he took in her appearance.
Weiss was dressed in strapless light blue gown that hugged her developing figure. Trailing down the right side of the dress were snowflake patterns that shimmered lightly. Her hair was the only thing unchanged, remaining in its elegant ponytail but somehow seemed to glow with the dress.
"Jaune. Are you okay?" he heard Weiss ask as she placed on hand on his cheek to gain his attention.
"Y-yeah. I just seem to be noticing you a lot more today" what the hell kind of reply was that? Before Jaune could mentally berate himself Weiss started to giggle. He relaxed and decided to address his earlier actions. "Listen Weiss, if I made you uncomfortable earlier I'm sorry" like hell he was "I didn't plan on kissing you anything I swear. You just looked really c-cute and I couldn't help myself" he finished honestly. Did he just honestly use the word cute? Cinder must never find out.
"Oh, um it's okay. We're engaged after all! I'm sorry for avoiding you too, I just wasn't sure how to react" Weiss replied nervously while twirling her pony tail in her hands. An odd expression flitted across her face before she asked "So…if you thought I looked good earlier and kissed me? Do you want to kiss me now?"
"Yes" he replied instantly.
"Wait, why the FUCK did I say that? Well I do but now she'll think I'm being too pushy or something like that!" Jaune was more than a little horrified with himself. Twice in one day he'd lost his self-control around Weiss. Was it hormones, was it the small amount of affection he had for her? Regardless of what it was it could not go on. Preparing to take his words back he found himself unable to speak.
Weiss had wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her lips against his.
Jaune closed his eyes and wrapped his arms around her waist to pull her closer. He pressed his lips back to hers to relish the feeling. He didn't know how long they were there but it felt like an eternity to him. This gentle sensation of her body and lips on his was new, exciting and pleasing in a way that killing and fighting could not match. As they broke for air he glanced down at Weiss who was staring back at him.
He could see nothing but adoration in those eyes, it honestly unsettled him. Jaune was used to manipulating, stealing and killing. The only person who truly showed him affection was Cinder. Had he actually done anything for Weiss besides just attempt to be a good fiancé?
"I don't get it" he thought to himself.
"Weiss, I" he started to say only to get a finger put on his lips. Okay, so it wasn't his turn to talk.
"To be honest, I've been wanting to kiss you for a while so I'm not mad. That being said I don't want others seeing us kissing, can we only do this when it's just us?" she asked.
"I think that would be for the best. I'd rather not have Winter coming after me out of the arena" he quipped.
As they both laughed he couldn't help but notice that he was still holding onto Weiss. It felt…nice. Perhaps this whole engagement thing could work out after all.
3 hours later
Okay the engagement was nice and all but dear Oum in heaven this party sucked. It was only Weiss hanging onto his right arm as they conversed with politicians and politicians and politicians…
He was going to kill something this week.
"Psst Weiss, how many more people are going to greet us?" thankfully there seemed to be a break in the greetings so he finally had another chance to talk with just Weiss.
"It's about nine pm and the party goes till eleven. I'd just wait it out to be honest." Was he hearing things or did even Weiss sound tired?
With a sigh that was partly resignation and partly despair Jaune glanced around the dining room and decided to appreciate the scenery. The party had been hosted on the first floor of the Schnee mansion's left wing. He was currently loitering off to one side with Weiss. The wing was decorated more than usual, crystal and ice decorations seemingly everywhere he looked. While aware of how needlessly large the Schnee mansion was, the sheer amount of people that were in this one wing reinforced the fact to him. According to Weiss there were just over two hundred politicians, aristocrats and important military figures present.
"I see my si-I mean Ms. Arc. Let's go say hi Weiss" finally someone they both liked. Ever since he told Weiss about his heritage she'd pretty much adopted Cynthia as another older sister.
"Ms. Arc!" Weiss called out excitedly as she all but dragged an amused Jaune over.
"Mr. Fall, Ms. Schnee! How are you two this evening?" she asked formally. He supposed any normal conversations would have to wait till they had privacy. Was it just him or did she look mildly uncomfortable?
"We're fantastic Ms. Arc!" Weiss all but gushed. Her eyes all but said they would be talking about the kiss later. "It's been a great day with my fiancé so far. How has your day been?"
"Um It's been alright" she replied distractedly while looking around. What was Cynthia doing? As he turned his head to look behind him Cynthia stepped around him into his line of vision.
"Cynthia…is everything actually alright?" he whispered. Weiss leaned in to hear her response as well. This behavior was so fundamentally different from his usually composed sister he couldn't help but be confused.
"Not exactly…under more than a little bit of pressure General Ironwood apparently decided to bring my father without mentioning it to Mr. Schnee. Personally, I think he wants to also meet a certain adolescent celebrity couple" she responded with a grimace.
His father. Declan Arc. Was in the building.
Okay he knew how Declan found out. He'd have to be deaf, blind and dumb to not have heard of the engagement of a Schnee with all the pomp the announcement had made. Why was he here though?
"Cynthia dear, do please let me meet your students" a voice called out behind her. Before she could move to the side a man stepped around her. Blond hair check. Brown eyes check. Beard of legend check. He may have been in an expensive suit and tie, but there was no mistaking Declan Arc or the anger in his eyes. "It's nice to see you Jaune".
"…Likewise" Jaune responded after a moment's hesitation. This was unexpected but he couldn't let his father cause a scene here and undermine his work. "Perhaps we should have a private conversation in the backyard? Weiss, do inform your sister as to my location." Without waiting for a response he untangles his arm from Weiss' and walked off with Declan at his side.
"That was a fairly mature move on your part there Jaune" Declan commented quietly. "I wouldn't really expect it from a typical runaway. By the way I've already had a pleasant conversation with my old friend James and your sister."
"Find out anything interesting?" Jaune asked back as he pushed open the door leading outside. He closed the door behind him and Declan…then proceeded to jump twenty feet away from his father with the aid of his semblance.
"It would probably be best to keep some distance" he mused.
"That jump I suppose is one place I can start" Declan replied amusedly. "Imagine my surprise when my runaway son turns up engaged to a Schnee heiress. I then call my old friend James since he must have known. I find out you have connections everywhere and are apparently well above the rest of your class Mr. Fall".
"Indeed Mr. Arc" Jaune simply responded. "Why are you here? You must be aware that you can neither take me back nor give me motivation to come back?"
"Oh I have no desire to do either. You may not be my son anymore but I am proud of you." Well this was a surprise. "I'm here to personally see the fruits of your labor however." Declan slid his right sleeve up to reveal a cyan blue watch. He pressed a combination of buttons on it and then slid his sleeve back down.
Wait? Wasn't that what his dad did when-
Jaune watched mortified as an azure axe shot itself from inside the house, through a window, into his father's arms. Before he could think to ready his weapons both he and Declan found themselves surrounded by Atlas military with weapons trained on them. From a side door he saw the three living Schnee's, his sister and Ironwood step out of the building.
"Declan Arc, I'd put that weapon down if I were you" Ironwood stated. The name seemed to generate whispers from guests nearby. Damn it all to hell, he did not want them finding out he used to be an Arc.
"It's okay General" Jaune interrupted. "Declan here simply wanted to see some of my bladework and I volunteered, perhaps afterwards we could talk pops?" he directed the last bit of the question at Walden. He wouldn't mind filling in Walden and Winter about his actual heritage, the peanut gallery however? Not so much. Turning back to Declan he was surprised as he saw a faint amount of anger renewed. Oh right, he called Walden pops. Oops.
"Jaune" he turned his head to see Winter speaking to him. "I placed your weapons in the launching system in our training room earlier, check your scroll and you should be able to access them". Keeping one eye on Declan, he pulled out his scroll and sure enough he had a message enabling to fetch his weapons. Typing in the predetermined password he didn't have to wait long as a white capsule slightly larger than his torso landed in front of him. As he opened it he smiled as he saw his engagement/congratulatory gift from Cinder.
Inside was a black and silver bow and quiver. The quiver was empty at the moment as he hadn't made use of the range function of his weapon lately. The bow was fashioned in a similar manner to his mother's. It was made of two twin blades that curved inwards slightly. The handles on blades were black with silver highlights on the sides. The blades themselves were slightly longer than his arms and extended over his knuckles as a guard. According to Cinder she'd taken the traditional Sabre design and modified it to be more offensive, he sure as hell had no complaints.
"So I'm ready now, are you?" Jaune asked. He loosely held both weapons at his side, looking to all the world as if he didn't care that he was about to enter a fight.
Instead of answering Declan charged Jaune, jumped into the air and dove down with his axe toward Jaune's skull…to hit nothing but snow.
"Come on! You gotta do better than that!" Jaune taunted condescendingly from two feet to his left. Declan wasn't slow. On the contrary, the man was very fast, but he hadn't trained against Declan. Cinder and Winter were both fighters who relied on speed, training against them had resulted in his own speed almost matching the mans while lightly using his semblance on himself. His confidence came from the fact that the man had very visibly telegraphed his move, making it quite easy to evade.
Jaune charged Declan and jumped over and behind the man when he swung out. Turning around, he attempted to slash his back with the blade in his left hand only to have it miss as his opponent jumped forward and rolled. Deciding to try a head on attack he jumped straight at Declan and swung down with both blades. As his blades locked with the axe Jaune realized something very important.
His father was stupidly strong. That strength was not only located in the upper body either.
He gritted his teeth as he found himself flying through the air via a kick to his sternum. Performing a backflip he decided to reassess the fight. Aside from his decision to charge straight on fighting through dodging was working out alright. He couldn't show off his semblance due to Cinder's orders so ranged tactics were out of the question. Increasing his speed anymore wasn't possible as it took enough concentration to keep up as is. He'd keep engaging but not get deadlocked, time to learn how his father fought.
"If you aren't coming here Mr. Fall, I'll come to you!" Declan called out as he ran towards him. Jaune grimaced as he sidestepped the axe and swung his blades back. This time, when they clashed he immediately disengaged and instead swung back again. He continued this pattern for an unknown amount of time, stabbing, slicing, slashing, dodging, jumping and blocking; trying to find a gap in the man's defense while not being overwhelmed by his powerful swings. What annoyed Jaune was that throughout the entire exchange he could feel HIS aura depleting from the force of the man's blows. Having enough of it he jumped back before deciding that he was done playing fair.
"Alright Declan, I'm done playing around" Jaune focused his semblance on his feet and did something nobody expected. He kicked the snow. That the snow hurtled itself at shotgun speeds did not escape anyone's notice. Declan jumped to the side but was left off balance as he landed due to some of the snow clipping his legs. Seizing the opportunity Jaune focused his semblance over his body and rocketed at the man. He threw the sword in his left hand at Declan's sternum, forcing the man to dodge and upset his balance more. Gripping his remaining sword in both hands he let out a powerful horizontal swing at Declan while changing the focus of his semblance to his hands to increase the speed of his swing.
Declan's axe made contact with the sword, and then went flying alongside Jaune's remaining blade.
Jaune quickly tackled the man onto the ground and straddled him. Before Declan could resist he took his knives out of his pockets and held them against his neck.
"Yield" Jaune commanded. He only just noticed now how tired he was. Maintaining his semblance for that long was never easy. The fight was relaxing, Winter usually had an appointment come up then beat his ass down during the session. This time, he had time to enjoy a challenge. More importantly, he beat a hunter, even if he was apparently retired like he'd heard from Cynthia. Did he cheat? Yeah. Was he also limited? Also true, his true semblance would have let him shred Declan way earlier into the fight.
Wait a minute. Did his father use his semblance? Did he even have one?
"Alright, you win…It was nice seeing you Jaune. I…am genuinely happy to see you doing well. I also forgive you." Declan replied quietly.
"This doesn't change anything" Jaune responded as he helped Declan up. "I'm my own person now and don't want to be associated with the Arc's. Maybe one day I'll feel comfortable with the world knowing, but not right now. Can you keep it to yourself?"
"Heh. I've kept it to myself for months and told the rest of the family to do the same. I'll let you talk with us again when you're more comfortable" Declan gave him a pat on the shoulder as he said this. "Now, I think you finace is more than a bit displeased with you leaving her to fight me…good luck with that".
Shit. True enough Weiss was storming over with displeasure visible on her face. Interestingly enough, so was Cynthia.
"You…didn't tell Cynthia you wanted to fight did you?" Jaune asked.
"I knew I forgot something" Declan deadpanned.
2 hours later
Weiss yawned as the armored limo pulled up in front of Jaune's apartment building. She looked to her right to see her fiancé fast asleep in the back of the car. After the fight with Declan he'd explained his heritage to her father and sister in private. Although surprised, neither had any objections to their engagement continuing. On the contrary, they decided that an Arc and a Schnee getting engaged was bigger news and would announce it within the month.
Jaune looked as if he'd swallowed something sour but made no objections. He was probably worried about the commotion he'd already caused by fighting his father.
That was a side of Jaune she'd never seen before. His training sessions with Winter were always private so she never got to cheer him on. He'd battled a retired hunter and won! She knew he was strong but this was absurd. Why did he continue to attend Haze Academy? Was it for her? She'd ask him some other time.
"Psst, Jaune. Wake up!" she whispered quietly.
"mmm, hrggg" he mumbled unintelligently as he woke up. He slowly glanced around till his eyes landed on hers and he smiled. He reached out and pulled her close before placing his lips on hers. Her eyes fluttered shut as she gave in and embraced his warmth. Sooner than she would have liked, he ended the kiss and pulled away.
"Jaune?" she asked.
"Happy new year's Weiss" he responded and placed a kiss on her forehead. She watched as Jaune left the car and walked up the stairs to his apartment. She sighed in happiness as she closed her eyes and leaned back against the seat. As the car started down the road her scroll went off and she saw that it was Winter calling.
"Did you already drop Jaune off?" her sister asked frantically.
"Yes indeed. Why-" Weiss never finished her question as an explosion went off in the distance. She whipped her head around and saw the windows to Jaune's apartment shattered and wreathed in flames. No. The entire floor of the building was flaming and shattered debris was falling on the ground.
As her driver sped up to get away from the scene Weiss watched in horror as additional explosions rocked the building on all floors. Unable to take the punishment the entire building plummeted to the ground in a mix of steel, ash and flame.
Among all the noise one could almost hear Weiss screaming out for Jaune.
