Tiny trickles of light seeped through the windows, signaling it was later in the day.

When Jaune woke up the next day, he was as refreshed as ever. It was possibly the best night of sleep he's ever gotten.

And as he opened his eyes, he remembered why.

Weiss was still closely curled into him and sleeping peacefully. Jaune wanted to make sure her fever had gone down since last night, so he gently lifted his hand to feel her forehead and was satisfied to find that it was no longer present.

A tiny vibration rocked his pocket, causing him to remember that he was still in his school uniform. Nonetheless, he took out his phone as quietly as possible and read the texts.

How'd it go, lady killer? Yang sent. Is she alright?

The next one was from Pyrrha. How was your conquest, The Bringer of Justice?

Another one was from Blake. Hey asshole. Just wondering if you'd show up for school or not since both you and weiss aren't in your seats ;)

Jaune Ruby typed. I know you're not THAT creepy, but why aren't you and Weiss here? suuuspiciouuuuuussssss

The last text was from his mom. I know you have a good reason for not coming home since you're my little poopsikins. Be sure to reply as soon as you see this message.

Jaune readily replied to every message and slid the phone back into his pocket. Thankfully, his mother was an understanding person.

Soon after, Weiss stirred and woke up with a yawn.

Jaune's eyes never left her. She looked like a little kitten!

Once she opened her eyes, she saw Jaune's light blue orbs. "Arc…?"

She would've thought last night was a dream if the boy wasn't lying next to her.

"Hey," he replied soothingly. "Are you feeling better?"

She was glad he helped her out last night and smiled at his disheveled and scraggly hair. It was obvious he was worried.

Weiss sat up and stretched her arms. "Much," she lazily stared at him. "Why are you in my bed?"

"Oh, ugh," the question caught him off guard. She was the one who made him sleep in the bed with her anyways, so he told her the truth. "You just couldn't resist me!"

"What?"

"I tried to leave, but as soon as I did, you pulled me back into your bed!" Jaune wiggled his brows. "I knew I was irresistible."

"In your dreams, Arc," she huffed and crossed her arms. "Wait…"

"What is it?"

"Y-you're still in your school uniform?!" Weiss yelped. "You must smell nasty," she got out of bed.

Jaune feigned hurt and followed her out of the bed. "I do not smell bad because a certain someone was cuddling with me all night."

Weiss blushed crimson. "I-I did not!"

"Did too!" he pointed accusingly. "I smell like you now!"

Weiss cocked her head. "Is that a bad thing?"

"N-no…" he rubbed the back of his head.

Weiss flailed her arms. "Then don't complain!"

Jaune sighed, there really was no winning an argument against her.

To change the conversation, he strolled over to her and put his hand on her forehead. "Good. Your fever has officially gone down!"

Weiss was surprised by the action and slightly yanked back. "Of course I'm better. It's all thanks to you, so thanks."

Jaune's gaze settled on the scar over her left eye. "No problem."

Weiss noticed what he was looking at. "I suppose it couldn't hurt telling you how I got the scar. You've seen interested since day one."

"Was it that bad?" Jaune asked, slightly embarrassed.

"Please, you were always eye-humping me," Weiss revealed. "It was hard not to notice."

"Gah!" he pulled his hair in frustration. "I'm sorry!"

"It's fine," she huffed. "Anyway, I got it in a fencing match. No big deal, but everyone seems to think there's some huge story behind it."

"Ah, I see," he said. "Well, I'm glad it's all healed up now. But I've always wondered, why'd you quit fencing?"

"Because of the scar," she replied curtly. "Father wanted me to be safe from harm even though I had practiced for years."

"Years?" Jaune pretended to be surprised since he already knew the truth. "You must've been good."

"You could say that," she smiled.

Jaune realized in that moment she was a very modest person. She didn't even tell him she was an heiress or even admit that she was a fencing champion!

However, he felt his stomach grumble when he remembered he didn't eat last night and Weiss was probably hungry too. He decided to pamper her while he was there.

"Are ya hungry?" he asked.

Weiss playfully rolled her eyes. "Are you planning to cook again?"

"Hey, you can't deny the soup wasn't good," he replied. "Whad'ya say?"

Weiss knew he was right. The soup was good and she wondered what else he could make. She hoped it would be easy and not turn out like a disaster. But she knew he was persistent.

"Fine," she walked over to the door.

Jaune was mesmerized by her outfit and stunning beauty. Even though she was sick the night before, she still looked like an angel he wasn't allowed to touch. And yet, he was allowed to cuddle with her last night.

"Are you coming or not?"

"Oh, uh yeah!" he giddily followed her out the door.

As the two began the journey to the kitchen, Weiss checked her texts and was surprised to find several messages.

Hey Weiss! Ruby sent. Hope you're feeling better. Class isn't the same without yew 3

Another from Yang. Yo, princess. We're all worried. Is lady killer with ya?

Blake sent the last one. Miss you! I hope Scrawny Jaune wasn't creepy

"Everything alright?" Jaune asked.

"Yes," she tore her gaze from the screen. "They're all so worried…"

"Who wouldn't be?" Jaune asked as the two walked down the hallways. "You were in bad shape yesterday."

Weiss knew for a fact that she had great friends looking out for her. "I'm better now. Come on, the kitchen's-" she stopped in her tracks when she spotted white powder on the floor in the distance.

"What is it?!" Jaune was worried, he feared she'd faint again.

His worries were calmed when she darted into the kitchen.

"Arc!" she yelled from the kitchen. "Is this the aftermath of your two-hour soup?!"

"Ehehe," he gulped. "Maybe?"

Pots and pans were scattered across the counters and shoved in the sink. Several strands of noodles were stuck in the sink, while other noodles were glued to the inside of used bowls and even on the sides of the counters. The pancake batter blanketed the marble floor in a white dust.

"I'm going to kill you!"

He was glad she would kill him because of the mess… and not because of the secret kiss.

After school, Blake and Yang strolled through the park. They wanted to hang out together alone again, but the blonde had a secret agenda.

It stopped raining late last night, so the trees were in full bloom. The sakura blossoms drifted from the branches and scattered around the grass and atmosphere. It was nice seeing pink petals again, that was Yang's favorite part of the year.

The blonde's heart was pounding and blush was forming on her cheeks. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't calm down for what she planned to do.

"Oh look!" Blake pointed to her phone. "Jaune finally texted back!"

"Oh ugh, what'd he say?" Yang asked.

Blake read the text out loud. "I'm not THAT much of an asshole, thank you. And don't worry. No one was at her home so I stayed the night and took care of her. We skipped school today so she can make a full recovery"

"Holy shit!" Yang couldn't help but curse. "Scrawny Arc stayed at her place?!"

"Seems like it," the ravenette smirked. "He's got game."

Yang saw her chance. "You know who else has game, Blakey?"

Blake stared at her in wonder. "Who?"

"Me," the blonde replied and took a deep breath.

Blake could tell what Yang was about to say was difficult since she had been acting strangely today. The ravenette figured that she was about to get what was bothering her off her chest.

"Blake, will you be my girlfriend?"

Blake stared at Yang's lilac orbs and remained speechless.

Yang was secretly terrified of her answer, but she wouldn't know the actual response if she didn't try.

"I'd be happy to," the ravenette replied with a smile.

"Oh god, I knew you'd say 'no'…" Yang did a double take. "Wait what?"

"I said yes! I'd be happy to be your girlfriend!" Blake threw her arms around Yang's shoulders.

Yang stood there in shock. "I can't believe you said yes!"

Blake smirked and was inches apart from her mouth. As she spoke, her lips barely grazed Yang's own.

"Would you believe it if I did this?"

She slowly leaned in and sealed the deal with a passionate kiss.

Yang absolutely couldn't believe it. The girl she fell for on the first day of class was kissing her. Her best friend and now… her girlfriend.

The gorgeous bookworm was finally hers.

Jaune and Weiss arrived at the boy's house so he could change clothes. He wore a simple white t-shirt and jeans and the two left after he explained to his mother what happened.

Before heading to his house, however, they cleaned up the kitchen and ate pancakes. After many failed attempts, Weiss told Jaune to swallow his pride and to let her cook breakfast. He reluctantly agreed when he saw no signs of her being ill and calmly sat at the table and watched the angel cook.

Before leaving the castle, Weiss put on an outfit consisting of a light blue blouse round neck and a simple black skirt.

Presently, they walked through town and soaked up the sun's gentle rays with smiles on their faces.

"Hey," Weiss called for Jaune. "There's a group text from Yang."

Jaune took the phone out of his pocket and read the message out loud. "Hey guys, Blake and I have something to tell you… only if you karaoke with us. Princess, you can totally come but only if you feel better. Hope to see ya soon!"

"Aw…" Jaune sulked and put his phone away.

"What is it? Isn't that a good thing?" Weiss asked.

"Yeah," he said. "But the group name was called 'Scrawny Arc will never not be scrawny.'"

Weiss couldn't stop herself from laughing. "Who titled that?"

"Blake," he sighed.

"Hmmm," Weiss hummed. "She's pretty funny."

"Do you really think I'm that scrawny?" Jaune pleaded.

A blush formed on her cheeks when she remembered his somewhat toned body when the two were in the infirmary.

She nervously glanced away. "You have nothing to worry about."

"Ah," he let out a relieved breath. "As long as you think it's alright then we're good."

"Q-quiet, Arc."

"But whaddya say?" Jaune asked. "It must be something important to make them want to tell us in person."

"I think it's strange that we skipped school to clean up the kitchen and make breakfast," the heiress added. "Now we're going to karaoke?"

"Do you want to? We don't have to-"

Weiss cut him off. "I'm up for it."

"Awesome!" Jaune chirped. "I'm excited to hang out with everyone again!"

Weiss knew he truly cherished his friends, and so did she. She wouldn't be as close with anyone if it wasn't for their efforts. She felt very happy and lucky to be a part of his life.

The two of them wandered through the park east of town. They found themselves strolling through the garden, taking the long way to the karaoke rendezvous. They were surrounded by flowers and plants, and a water fountain spurted out water into a small pool below. It was a very serene place.

"You know…" she started. "You're not so bad, Jaune."

Jaune beamed a wide smile. "Where's this coming from?"

"I was just thinking," Weiss gently leaned into him. "If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be this happy right now," she gazed up at his light blue eyes.

This time Jaune couldn't stop himself. After melting in her pleading eyes, he leaned down and pecked her on the cheek.

That was uncharacteristically bold of him.

He inwardly gasped at the action. Why the hell did he do that?! He probably messed up their entire friendship!

Weiss was a little surprised by the kiss, but didn't mind it. In fact, she wanted more, so she got on her tiptoes and put her hands around his neck as she ensnared his lips with her own.

Not that I mind…

Jaune was stunned that she was the one to kiss him, but certainly wasn't about to complain. Weiss tasted like sweet peppermint to him. He pulled her in closer, not wanting her to break it off.

They soon had to pull apart to breathe. The boy was relieved that she didn't seem mad and in fact, pleased with what had transpired.

"T-that was nice," Jaune stuttered, still flustered from what happened.

"'That was nice?'" Weiss quoted. "That's what you say when a girl kisses you?"

"S-sorry about that," he continued to stammer. "Can you really blame me? The most beautiful girl in the world just kissed me!"

If Weiss wasn't blushing already she certainly was now. "S-shut it, Arc."

"So uh, I have a question," Jaune was getting nervous.

Weiss already knew what the question was, but acted oblivious and silently cheered him on.

"What is it?"

He took a deep breath to calm himself.

"Will you go out with me?"

Jaune wanted to give himself a pat on the back.

He didn't stutter!

Weiss grabbed his hand and smiled. "Is that even a question?"

"Is that a 'no?'"

He knew it was too good to be true. Of course she'd say 'no,' she was way out of his league. What the hell was he thinking? The transfer could have any guy she wanted, why would she pick an average guy like him?

Weiss rolled her eyes and pecked him on the cheek and gazed endearingly in his bright blue orbs.

"It's a definite yes."

That was by far the best moment in Jaune's life. He thought those words were an illusion, that this whole day had been a dream. He needed to confirm it.

"Y-you said yes?!"

Weiss narrowed her eyes. "Don't make me take it back, Arc."

"I have a girlfriend?!"

Weiss sighed at his hopeless glee. "Yes!" she was growing impatient trying to get the fact in that thick skull of his.

"I can't believe it!" he gave her a crushing hug. "I've been waiting forever for this moment!"

Weiss returned the embrace as she gently whispered in his ear. "R-really?"

"Yes!" Jaune couldn't help but sniffle a bit. "God… I'm so lucky."

The two released each other and Weiss apologized. "I'm sorry you waited so long."

Jaune smiled. "Don't worry about it! It was totally worth the wait. You ready to go karaoke?"

"You know it," she happily replied as the two walked and held hands.

"Are you a good singer, Snow Angel?" he asked.

The heiress remembered that Jaune had only used that nickname once.

When he first talked to her.

Now it was used as a loving pet name instead of a pick-up line… and she couldn't be happier.

Weiss heartily giggled. "You could say that."

Jaune had at last captured the snow angel's heart.

Yang, Ruby, and Blake waited for Jaune and Weiss while sitting on the couch in the karaoke room.

Ruby was bouncing up and down in her seat. "Come onnnnn, come onnnn," she whined. "Just tell me the news!"

"You'll find out as soon as they get here~" the blonde sang happily.

Blake smirked. "The news isn't that surprising."

"Ohhhh," Ruby beamed. "I can't wait!"

The door creaked open and the three stood up to great Weiss and Jaune, only to see the two holding hands.

"Holy… shit," Yang's mouth was agape. "A-are you guys...?"

"Yep!" Jaune chirped. "The Bringer of Justice has done the impossible! This Snow Angel," he squeezed her hand. "Is my girlfriend," he bragged.

"That's funny," Blake chuckled. "We wanted you to come down here to tell you the same thing."

"What?" Weiss asked. "Same thing?"

Yang slung her arm around Blake's shoulders. "We're going out, too!"

"So that was the news!" Ruby gasped. "Congratulations you guys!"

"Thanks, Ruby," Jaune ecstatically replied. "I still can't believe it," he continued to gush over his girlfriend.

Weiss leaned closer to him. "It's not that unbelievable," she mumbled.

"I'm so proud of ya, lady killer!" Yang smiled.

Weiss rolled her eyes at the comment. "It's also thanks to you, brute."

"Me?" she pointed to herself.

"If you weren't so annoying in the beginning I wouldn't be here right now," Weiss huffed. "That goes for you too, Ruby and Blake."

Everyone couldn't stop smiling from the lighthearted atmosphere.

"Aww," Yang cooed and looked at Ruby. "It seems like just yesterday we made that mission for the princess."

"What mission?" Weiss asked and looked at the sisters. "What are you talking about?"

Ruby jumped up and down with glee and held up her hand to high-five Yang. "We did it!"

Yang eagerly returned the gesture. "Damn right!"

"Did what?!" Weiss yelped.

Yang sent her a wry smile. "Nothing."

At last, Yang and Ruby's mission to befriend the transfer had been completed.

"Honestly," the white-haired girl huffed. "I'll never figure out what goes on in both of your heads."

"It's nothing to worry about~" the blonde teased. "Who's ready to sing?"

"Meeeee!" Ruby chirped.

Jaune gazed down at Weiss lovingly. "Isn't this nice?"

Weiss watched Ruby bounce up and down from excitement. "It sure is."

He smiled and looked back over to Yang, who was whispering in her girlfriend's ear.

Both blondes' gazes wittingly met with smiles on their faces. They silently nodded at each other in approval, knowing their end of the deal had been fulfilled.

In Jaune and Yang's eyes, the transfer and the mysterious class rep certainly were quite the prize.

Rom-com rules: everything turns out fine, closeness to use first names, sakura blossoms, and the ultimate goal being reached *cough cough* MC feeling like they are accepted in their new friend group.

You can totally tell I know my anime, huh? I apologize for not putting in the hot spring cliché, or the beach episode, but I preferred karaoke. Sorry to all the horny people.

IMPORTANT: Yes, this is the last chapter. Just so you know, I do in fact have a SEQUEL to this story outlined. HOWEVER, I'm currently working on other stories that are still in progress and take priority. So whenever I finish those stories, I will finally work on the sequel to this story, which, by the way, totally has the beach and hot spring cliché.

One of the fics that has taken priority isn't released yet, but will be very soon. It's called Let Me Hear and I urge you to give it a read when it comes out in less than two weeks.

Welp, Eyes On the Prize is over… for now. See you guys around, thanks for reading, and remember to stay dandy.

~Hope you enjoyed~
