A/N: Hey everyone! Sorry for taking some time, I have been really trying to figure out how to go with the story. I also am not gonna rush and force things since chapter 8 got little popularity.
Jaune opened his eyes to look around, instead of seeing Neo he saw fire. It was spreading fast and Jaune didn't know what to do, he jumped out of the bed and ran for the door only to see a it collapse on itself.
"Shit" was the only thing Jaune was able to escape from his mouth, he saw a small opening in the wall and ran for it.
He hit the wall once and it didn't burst, after another go he crashed through feeling a sharp pain in his back. Jaune ignored it looking around to see if there were any civilians, he saw a fire extinguisher on the ground. He dived for it but to see disappointment in his eyes when he saw it was already empty.
Jaune noticed an exit sign down the hallway, only problem was that it was blocked by a small fence of fire. He shooked his head preparing himself and ran.
He almost made it but his leg ignited, the fire made it up his ankle to his knee. Jaune thought he was a goner till Neo came rushing in with a small fire extinguisher, she helped Jaune up and they walked towards the fire exit.
As they were walking Jaune looked down from a window, he saw fire trucks and people still rushing out. He gulped hoping he and Neo could make it out. They made it down to the third floor almost down to the second when an explosion came.
The blast hit hard, sending Jaune and Neo out the window. Jaune felt the ground hit him hard causing him to lose all his breath, at first he didn't want to move but he knew he had to look for Neo.
He turned his head seeing Neo's eyes, they were empty, he realized what had happened. Ignoring the pain Jaune got up shaking Neo's lifeless body, he screamed hoping for her to wake up. Then he blacked out.
Then he woke up, Jaune was frantic but calmed down when he felt something warm next to him. He looked down and saw Neo, snuggled up next to him snoring calmly. He smiled with a tear in his eye, thank god that was just a horrible nightmare.
Jaune slowly pulled out his scroll checking the time: 10:37. He sighed, even if he said he was sick he still was probably expected to at least show up. Another small sigh leaked out he looked down at Neo, she was still sleeping. It gave him a nice feeling inside of him, even if she was a dangerous killer she always could show a gentle side of her.
The thought came up in his mind once again, that day, the day when Neo told him about her past. It made his smile go away, he has to ask her someday. That night can't just go away all that emotion, all the things… He needs to know…
Jaune shook his head giving a somewhat loud sigh, he forgot about Neo and accidently blew in her face waking her up. Her eyes opened slowly, revealing pink and brown eyes. She gave a small smile looking up at Jaune then started snuggling her face back into Jaune's chest, he smelled nice.
It surprised Jaune feeling Neo's head dig into his chest, he could feel her small breaths. It tickled a little, he gave out a small laugh slowly petting Neo's head. She looked up their eyes both meeting, the silence kept up for another 10 seconds before Neo got up and headed for another room. Jaune sighed once again and laid flat on the bed putting his hands into his hair, "God I am so fucked." Jaune whispered to himself thinking of what will do to him. Maybe he could just say that since he felt sick he slept in? It was a thought that gave Jaune small amount of hope, that hope was destroyed when he thought about the last time someone lied to . That poor bastard, never saw an hour of freedom for the rest of his life…
He gulped hearing a flush, Jaune turned his head to look at Neo coming out. He then got up and headed towards to what he believed was the bathroom, Jaune passed Neo who walked into the kitchen.
As Jaune closed the door his scroll vibrated in his pocket, opening it he saw a text from Neo which read: I got a spare toothbrush behind the mirror. Jaune opened the mirror door seeing the spare toothbrush sealed, he opened the container pulling out the toothbrush. He then started to do his usual routine, brush his teeth, take a piss, finish brushing teeth, and a quick face wash.
After his routine Jaune walked over to the kitchen, "Hey Neo want some breakfast?" she nodded her head scooching onto a stool letting her legs dangle off of it. Jaune opened the fridge looking at the ingredients, he didn't expect to see literally nothing in the fridge.
"Neo why is your fridge empty?" Jaune gave her a weird look. Neo just put her finger on her chin and gave a smirk that said "mhm..". Jaune sighed looking at his scroll time one more time, 11:24. Another long sigh came out, "Alright, how about we head over to that cafe I saw?"
Neo put her finger on her chin one more time and nodded with a small smile. Jaune realized something, this could count as a date… It gave him a smile, Neo hopped off the stool and headed for the door with Jaune following. They walked down the hallway pressing the button to call the elevator.
It opened with a ping showing the fancy elevator once again, Jaune pressed the L on the pad watching the door close. Jaune looked down at Neo who was just looking at the side mirror, making faces towards her mirror self. Jaune was about to say something but was interrupted by the elevator making a loud ping and then a robotic female voice said, "Lobby Floor." Jaune walked out first with Neo behind him.
They passed the front desk with a different faunis who waved bye to the two. Jaune led Neo towards the cafe slowly walking hand in hand, he wasn't gonna lie walking hand to hand made him blush. They reached the cafe looking at the sign that red: Mr. & Mrs. Waffle Cafe.
After entering the cafe there was a ding, they were greeted with a warm hello from a waitress, she then proceeded to bring them to their table. Jaune looked through the menu eyeing down a item that reminded him of someone, the item was a stack of waffles with 3 scoops of ice cream. He looked up from his menu looking at Neo who had a drooling grin.
Jaune called the waitress, "Yes I would like your Waffle Supreme and she would like the Ice Waffle." The waitress nodded writing down the order and heading towards the kitchen.
Neo gave Jaune a sly grin resting her chin on her hand, Jaune just replied to it with a smile of his own taking a sip of water. After about 10 minutes the waitress came with two plates of piping hot waffles, one having somewhat melted ice cream and the other with a stack of waffles each having a layer of syrup on them.
Neo started to gobble up her waffles, already eaten the ice cream and the first waffle. Jaune on the other hand ate slowly savoring every bite, he wasn't gonna lie these have got to be some of the best waffles ever. After a few more bites Jaune noticed Neo had finished her waffles and was looking at his with drool in her mouth. He laughed and took a piece feeding it to Neo, she bit onto the fork with a cat like smile.
She then looked up at Jaune which gave him a questionable vibe, before he could say anything Neo jumped up kissing Jaune. He started to blush heavily feeling Neo's soft lips hit his, at first he resisted the kiss but soon he embraced it. After 15 or so seconds they broke apart to get air, both Jaune and Neo were blushing heavily looking into each other's eyes.
Jaune finished his waffles and paid the bill, he looked at his clock and saw it was 12:17 at this point he just gave up about the thought of making it to school. They walked out of the cafe holding hands once again, this time Jaune wasn't blushing as hard but still had a noticeable red on his face.
They walked towards a small ice cream stand, Neo was bubbling with excitement. She ordered a triple scoop ice cream of Neapolitan and Jaune just ordered for a vanilla cone. They ate their ice cream under a tree sitting side by side, Jaune looked down at Neo and smiled seeing a moustache of chocolate around her mouth. After another 5 minutes of eating ice cream Neo finished her cone and smiled once again with a multi color moustache around her mouth. Jaune laughed seeing it and took out a wet wipe, and started to wipe away the ice cream from her mouth to be met with a stranger walking up.
"Hi there, um I don't just do this with strangers but I was just wondering if you and your sister wanted to come and hang out with me and my friends." Jaune was surprised by this invite, he didn't know what to say but was then surprised to feel Neo's soft lips once again. Like last time he resisted but then went with it, he forgot however that there was a girl who thought they were siblings standing right next to them.
Jaune broke the kiss and tried to explain but she just ran off, he sighed and looked at Neo. She gave a sly smirk looking up at Jaune, he on the other hand gave her a mad look feeling embarrassed by what had happened. Before he could say anything Neo got up and pointed towards the swings, he gave out another long sigh and slowly got up following Neo.
Neo was silently yelling in joy as she went higher and higher up the swing, Jaune just smiled pushing Neo harder and harder seeing her swing made him feel happy again. After 20 minutes Jaune's arms started to feel sore, he didn't want to tell Neo but it started to get to a point where he was losing strength. After another 5 minutes Jaune couldn't take it and said, "Neo I really can't do this any more."
She reacted to this by flinging off the swing doing a backflip impressing Jaune and the other kids playing on the playground. He walked over towards Neo who had a cocky smirk on her face, he swinged his arm around her and they started walking. Jaune checked the time which read 1:26, he smiled still wondering what the punishment was gonna be when he met .
There was a vibrate and Neo opened up her scroll reading the text, her smile went away and she looked up at Jaune with a sad face. Jaune knew what it meant and he nodded letting Neo vanish off in a second, he still needs to know what her semblance is.
With a loud sigh he started to head towards the bullhead that went to Beacon, "Might as well face my punishment now than later…".
A/N: Hey guys, so I am sorry this chapter took some time. I wanted to try a different way of writing so that is why the chapter is so weird. So basically I am still trying to find a beta reader and someone to make me a poster. Please tell me what you thought of this odd chapter, signing out The Retard.
