"Come on Jaune. You ready?" The boy asked as both him and Jaune were on the roof for their training session. After the shopping spree in Vale with Team RWBYM and Coco, Jaune was released from the infirmary. Now, even though tomorrow was the dance, Jaune really wanted to start training.
So, the boy agreed to meet with him on the roof of the school 5 so they can go back to their rooms around 7 or 8. Jaune came up with his regular outfit, while the Boy came up with a Black T-shirt with the punisher logo on it, Black Sweatpants, and sneakers.
"Ready as I'll ever be. So, what are we doing today?" He said. The boy smirked at him.
"We'll start with some exercise and then move on to some hand-to-hand Combat." The boy said as he got into a push up position. Jaune followed suite and began to do push ups with the boy. The boy kept an eye on Jaune when he was doing his exercise. He was worried that Jaune won't do the exercise properly and might faint.
Thankfully, he was able to keep with the boy until he reached Push up #45, which ended up making him feel light headed and he needed to rest. After resting for 2 minutes, they began to do sit ups. After an hour of exercise, came the hand-to-hand combat.
"Ok, Jaune. When a person throws a punch, you either block, or dodge. You can also use your legs, which hit harder than your hands and arms. Like this." He said while also demonstrating.
"Cool. So, like this?" He said, trying to do it but ended up on his ass. The boy held out his hand and helped Jaune up. After a few more times and showing him a few more punches and kicks, Jaune got the hang of a few of them.
"Nice Job Jaune. I think we should call it day." The boy said as he nodded and wiped the sweat off his face.
"Thanks for today Mike. I really needed the help." He said with a smile.
"No problem. For homework, do some more sit-ups and work on your core strength. " The boy said.
"Aww man, do we really have homework?" He asked. The boy chuckled and stretched his arm. Jaune winced at the popping sound coming from the boys arm. The boy looked at Jaune, who had a worried look on his face.
"Something wrong Jaune? You've been a little quit lately." The boy said. Jaune sighed and scratched his head.
"I really need some advice. H-how do you ask a girl out, to the dance I mean?" Jaune asked, stammering a bit.
"That girl wouldn't be Weiss Schnee, now wouldn't it?" The boy asked. Jaunes cheeks were turning redder by the minute.
"Y-yes. I-I mean, I can't get her to like me or go out with me." He said. "She is a Snow Angel to me. She is pretty, Smart, tough. I like her for those reasons, not because she is a Schnee." He said. The boy looked at him in shock.
"You know, not that many people can say that about a Schnee. I applaude you for that though. Maybe ask her out in a creative way or be yourself." He said. Jaune thought about and grinned.
"I got an Idea. Thanks Mike, your the best." He said before running off downstairs.
'Why do I have a bad feeling about this.' The boy thought as he began to walk back to his dorm.
"Hey Mike, how was the training session with Jaune?" Yang asked once the boy went inside his dorm.
"Good. Gotta say, Jaune has potential. He just...needs to have more confidence." He said as he took off his shirt. Which earned 2 girls to purr, one to gasp, and one to scoff.
"Mike, can I ask you something?" Ruby asked.
"Shoot."
"How come you have scars? Doesn't your aura heal them?" She asked. The boy froze. He had completely forgot about this, about being careful. He does have an Aura, he just perfers not to use it.
"I have it unlocked, I just don't use it." He said.
"What do you mean you don't use it. Aura heals your wounds automatically." Weiss said. Before there was another argument, there was a knock at the door.
Mike was thankful for many things. Being alive was one of them. Not turning into a psycho killer with no morals was one of them. What he wasn't expecting to save him was Jaune and his very bad guitar playing and singing. Not only that, but it was hilarious for the rest of team, except weiss of course.
"Jaune, I will never go to the dance with you. GET IT THROUGH YOUR HEAD." Weiss shouted and slammed the door in his face.
"That was rude, you know that right?" The boy said. Weiss rolled her eyes and there was a knock at the door.
"Weiss, please open the door. I won't do anything else, I just wanted to say sorry. Please, open the door." Jaune said. Weiss rubbed the rubbed the bridge of her nose, and sighed.
"Come on Weiss, what harm can it do?" Yang asked. Weiss sighed and opened the door.
"I LIIIIIKKKKEEE YOOOOUUUU." Jaune sang. Everyone, except weiss, was laughing. Even Mike was letting out a few chuckles.
"What's funny?" Jaune asked, which caused another ripple of laughter.
"Nothing bud, It's just that your singing is funny man." Mike said. Jaune smiled but went pale when he noticed weiss glaring at him.
"Jaune. Leave. Now." She said, venom in each one of those words. Jaune was so white, it could rival her dress.
"Bro, before you go, can I borrow your guitar? I want to try it for a bit." He said. Jaune nodded, gave the guitar to the boy, and literally ran back to his dorm. Weiss was still upset but calmed down a tiny bit. She turned to the boy, who was struming the guitar a little.
"Don't tell me you are playing that thing as well?" She asked.
"Yeah, the guitar is one of my favorite intruments. If I want to play, let me play." He retorted as he cleared his throat.
"Your going to sing as well? I thought you never was an outsider." Blake said as she put down her book.
"Well, I got bored when I was growing up. So, I found solace by playing any instruments I get my hands on." He said as he sat down.
(Wherever I Go - One Republic (cover) Chris Brenner
I know I could lie but I'm telling the truth
Wherever I go there's a shadow of you
I know I could try looking for something new
But wherever I go, I'll be looking for you
Some people lie but they're looking for magic
Others are quietly going insane
I feel alive when I'm close to the madness
No easy love could ever make me feel the same
I know I could lie, but I won't lie to you
Wherever I go, you're the ghost in the room
I don't even try looking for something new
Cause wherever I go, I'll be looking for you
Some people try but they can't find the magic
Others get down on their knees and they prey
I come alive when I'm close to the madness
No easy love could ever make me feel the same
Make me feel the same
Make me feel the same, same, same
I know I could lie but I'm telling the truth
Wherever I go there's a shadow of you
I know I could try looking for something new
But wherever I go, I'll be looking for you
Wherever I go, I'll be looking for you
Some people pray to their god for some magic
Cause no easy love could ever make them fell the same
No easy love could ever make me feel the same
Make me feel the same, same, same
I know I could lie but I'm telling the truth
Wherever I go there's a shadow of you
I know I could try looking for something new
But wherever I go, I'll be looking for you
You think it's a lie when I'm telling the truth
Wherever I go, I'll be looking for you
Wherever I go, I'll be looking for you
Looking for you, looking for you
Once he finished, there wasn't any sound. The only sound he could hear was the breathing of the other 4 occupants.
"Uh, was it good?" He asked. The silence was continuing, and it was starting to get weird.
"Guys, I'm still here." He waved his hand infront of Yangs face.
"Helloooo."
"Yang."
"YANG."
"YAAAANNNNG." He shouted, causing all the girls to yelp in surprise.
"Guys, are you ok? You all froze once I stopped singing." He said. The girls blinked twice and they all began to blush.
"That was really good singing Mike. The best I had ever heard." Ruby said dreamily, before snapping to her senses and blushed a deep red.
"Thanks. Yang, could I talk to outside for a moment?" The boy asked. Yangs eyes went wide and a red blush stayed on her cheeks.
"S-sure." She stuttered, and mentally smacking her.
'Get a hold of yourself Yang! I need to hear what he has to say, but why am I blushing so much?' She thought as they went outside. The rest of Team RWBY leaned against the door to hear better.
Yang couldn't help but feel really nervous. A handsome guy, especially a teammate, was about to talk to her. Alone. Yang could only process a few things she and him could do alone.She licked her lips at those thoughts.
"Uh, Yang? You ok?" The boy asked.
"I'm fine. You wanted to talk to me about something?" She said. At that moment, she notice the boy grew a little paler and looked nervous.
"I actually wanted to ask you something." He said as he gulped and rested his arm on the wall. Yangs heartbeat quickened its pace and she herself felt nervous.
"W-what d-do y-you need?" She stuttered. The boy leaned in a little, almost as if they were about to kiss. His face mere inches from hers; she can almost feel and smell his minty breathe. His eyes were ice, cold and hard, but so gorgeous to her. His smile would melt her heart in a seconds, making her blush even harder.
"W-would you like to g-go to the dance w-with me? The boy asked. Yangs heart dropped instantly, and her skin went cold. Her eyes were wide when he asked her. She opened her mouth but her tongue was caught. Her nervousness got the better of her.
Yang Xiao Long. Being nervous?
The world really has gone to shit.
Yang finally got her head straight and her cheeks were still red. She flashed him a smile.
"Sure. I would love to go to the dance with you." She said as she leaned in and kissed him on his cheek. Her kiss was near his lips as well. She turned around, and walked away, swinging her hips in a good motion. She looked back, smiled, and winked at her.
"I'll let you decide if that kiss was real or not. If not, I can give you more." She said flirtatiously. She then walked back inside, leaving a blushing boy in the hallway.
