Manipulation Ch8

'Crud.'

.

Silence engulfed the room.

.

All seven pairs of his friends eyes were burning a hole in him.

.

.

.

'Well Jaune, how are you going to get out of this one? You need to be careful, this is a very delicate situation.'

.

"YOU SLEPT WITH YANG?" Ruby blurted out, not so delicately. The shock and embarrassment crystal clear on her face.

Everyone then turned to stare at Yang.

"Whoa." Yelled Yang, waving her hands in front of her. Before point away from herself. "Why are you all starring at me. Weiss did it first!"

"YANG!" Screeched the heiress in indignation. Face turning crimson. "How do you even know abo-"

"YOU SLEPT WITH HIM TOO?!" Ruby blurted out again. Face as red as her cloak. "AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO HASNT SLEPT WITH HIM YET?!"

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YE-" Growled Yang before being cut off by her partner.

"I haven't." She replied smugly. "I only gave him a kiss on the cheek."

"It's already too late for you" Ruby sighed loudly as she patted Blake's arm. Causing the Faunus' smug smile to fall. "You're already tainted. I doubt you make it to the end of the week."

*Thud*

.

"PYRRHA" they all Yelled as they all huddled together over her.

Pyrrha lay motionless on the floor.

"She's still breathing, I think the shock of it all was too much for her." Stated Ren casually. As if finding out his friend, who was almost like a brother to him, was going around sleeping with all their other girl friends was a perfectly normal thing.

"We'll take her to our room to rest. You all must have a lot to talk about." Ren calmly said. Meanwhile he had subtly got himself out of the pending danger that was about to come, while throwing Jaune under the bus. "Come along Nora, I need a hand with Pyrrha."

Nora did not look like she wanted to leave. Her eyes were wide and Jaune knew she was enjoying all the drama. But because of her fainted teammate she complied. Single handily she picked up and carried Pyrrha to their room. Followed by Ren.

The door clicked shut.

.

.

.

Turning around Jaune came face to face with his "girlfriends?"

Weiss look liked she wanted to beat him to a bloody pulp with her bare hands.

Yang did not look much better with her glowing red eyes.

Blake looked stricken, like she had just found out she was dying of some incurable disease.

Ruby had a pout on her face at the unfair of it all.

.

.

.

"Ok Arc. Start talking." Growled Weiss.

.

.

.

And so he did. He told them everything. He told them about his semblance. How if he touched someone, he would be able to manipulate their mind. How his markings worked. And how they were a permanent thing. Also how he could manipulate any physical objects from afar without the need to even touch them.

He also told them of his love life. Of how he accidentally tagged Ruby when he first met her. That he originally marked Weiss to get even with her for being mean to him and Ruby. How Yang was a spur of the moment because she was being so flirty and fun. And how he marked Blake because he was worried about her. He told them everything they wanted to know. He owed them that.

"So you haven't slept with Ruby?" Pressed Yang.

"No Yang." Jaune gave a loud sigh as he sat on Weiss' bed. "For the hundredth time, I haven't slept with Ruby. I only did what I did because she was in danger."

"Hmmm" Yang contemplated his answer.

"For a guy with unlimited powers, how did you get bullied into two dates and practically three girlfriends?" Asked Blake, intrigued by the madness of it all.

"I blame growing up with seven sisters." Shrugged Jaune. Before muttering under his breath. "Girls are scary."

"A-and how do you f-feel about us?" Weiss asked nervously. "Was what you told us the truth? Or just what we wanted to hear?"

This was the question they all wanted to answered. To see if Jaune really meant what he said or if he just said it in the heat of the moment.

"I-" he was cut off as a weight settled in his lap.

"I believe you Jaune." Beamed the little reaper happily. As she lay her head down in the crook of his neck. "After everything you've done for us, for me. I trust you completely."

"How can you trust him so much you dolt. He's been with multiple girls behind your back." Argued Weiss.

"Oooh?" Ruby teased. "Are you gonna dump him? Am I gonna have Jaune all to myself?"

She began to rub her face against his neck playfully before biting him lightly.

"Aaagh" Yelped Jaune in surprise. " R-Ruby what are you d-doing."

"Well-" she answered innocently. "If the others don't want you, then I'm going to stake my claim."

"Ruby." Sighed an exasperated Blake. "You're Yang is showing."

"Wow sis, I didn't know you were so bold." Yang stared in disbelief.

"Ok girls." Jaune raised his voice to get their attention. "And to answer Weiss question, NO, It wasn't a one time thing. I REALLY do care about all you."

Taking a deep breath he pushed on.

"You four along with my team and my family mean the world to me. I love you all, truly I do. If you ever need anything from me, I'll do anything in my power to help. This I swear. And an Arc-"

"An Arc never goes back on his word." The four girls finished for him. All four looking at each other uneasy.

"I-if we do this. D-do you promise to love us equally?" A very uneasy Weiss asked.

.

.

.

Jaune noded.

"Ok then." Weiss let out the biggest sigh she had ever felt. "Congratulations Arc, you now have four girlfriends you will need to keep happy."

Jaune just laughed and scratched the back of his head at the insanity of it all.

"YES! I get to sleep with Jaune too!" Cheered Ruby!

"OI!" Yang injected. "You're too young for that! And besides at the very least he should take you on a date and to dinner and hold your hand first and get married and sign-"

Yang began to rambling to herself as no one bothered to pay attention to her anymore.

"But Yang does bring up a good point." Interrupted Ruby. Face set in a wide smile. "Since break just started and you still owe me a date Jaune, you can take me out! And you owe one Blake too." Her smile dropped a little. "And I guess Weiss deserves one too, even though she already had a turn with you. BUT Yang is out. She has to wait!"

.

The Reaper looked excited at the prospect of her first date.

The Heiress blushed at being called out on her love life, but noded none he less.

The Faunus looked resigned and knew it was useless to argue with her team leader.

And the Blonde looked absolutely crushed at being kicked to the back of the line by her sister.

.

"Well at least that's taken care of." Yang chuckled trying to uplift her mood. "Now Jaune, don't go marking and getting more girlfriends."

"Uurk" Ruby tried and FAILED to suppress her groan, but failed spectacularly.

.

.

.

"Who else is it?" Growled Weiss. Foot taping on the ground impatiently.

"Goodwitch"

A/N holy crap am I cranking these out quick! My mind is playing a hundred scenarios a minute.

Unfortunately the stupid website doesn't change the update date info everytime you upload a chapter. So if I upload 5 chapter in 24hours and you'll only see the one update. That blows.

Meh. I guess I'll start back logging extra chapters. Anyways have a good one guys! Cheers!
