Blake and Jaune were sitting in a small karaoke bar with a tense silence between them. This wasn't as strange a sight as you would think. This was the place of their first date almost six months before. The way they started dating was actually pretty funny. All their other teammates had plans with each other or someone else, leaving them on their own. Blake was sitting in her room reading when Jaune knocked on her door. He asked if she's like to go into Vale to hang out and to get to know each other better, since they really didn't talk much.
Blake was going to say no but she knew that if she didn't, Ruby would bug her about not hanging out with him. So, she agreed reluctantly. She was surprised to find that she got along very well with him. He was a bit of a dolt, if she was quoting Weiss, but he was nice enough. They had a 'friendly' discussion on what real literature was but eventually had a compromise, Blake would read three comics and Jaune would read a book of her choice.
They went to a new karaoke bar because someone was handing out free fliers. When they got there, they watched many people sing or in some cases, try to. They had few non-alcoholic drinks and some appetizers as they just talked about some random topics.
Eventually, Jaune went up to sing. His reasoning being, 'why not?' Blake expected to be embarrassed or laugh at him. But she was shocked to see him singing very well. When he was done, she told as much and he thanked her. Right before he dared her to go next. She tried to adamantly refuse, until he called her a scaredy cat. Next thing she knew, she was on stage while glaring at the blonde. Blake was just as good a singer, a skill she tried to hide.
When she was done, Jaune showered her in genuine praise which got a blush from her. Later on, they decided to do a duet just for some fun. What happened shocked them both. The song got both of them to pour out so many emotions that they were burying deep down. At the end of the song, they looked into each other's eyes before kissing fiercely. They broke apart when the bar started wolf whistling them. They were embarrassed but didn't regret a thing. Their teammates were shocked when they came back together, hands intertwined and now an official couple.
They were fine until a few days ago. Blake had taken up one of her unhealthy habits and started to obsess over the White Fang again. Jaune tried to be respectful of her choice and tried to help if he could. But when she started to stop eating and sleeping, that was when he was forced to step in. Blake didn't want to hear what he was saying and they got into an argument. It ended and both regretting many things they said to each other.
This 'date' was actually set up by Yang and Nora. They were hoping that it would fix things. So far, it hadn't but that was because of both their stubborn natures. They just sat there, drinking and eating in silence while taking peaks at the other.
That's when one of the usual patrons asked them if they'd be singing. They looked at each other and eventually shrugged and went on stage. They didn't notice that Yang and Nora had been talking to the person running the sound system and had a pre-selected song for them to sing.

The music started but both refused to look at the other.
Do you remember when we didn't care
We were just two kids that took the moment when it was there
Do you remember you at all
Another heart calls
Yeah I remember when we stole the night
We'd lie awake but dreaming 'til the sun would wash the sky
Just as soon as I see you
But didn't I, but didn't I tell you
As deep as I need you,
You wanna leave it all
What can I do?
Say it's true
Or everything that matters breaks in two
Say it's true
I'll never ask for anyone but you
The two turned to each other with that and Blake started to glare at him.
Talk to me
I'm throwing myself in front of you
Returned it with full force.
This could be the last mistake
That I would ever wanna do
Yeah all I ever do is give it's time you see my point of view
Just as soon as I see you
But didn't I, but didn't I tell you
As deep as I need you,
You wanna leave it all
What can I do?
Say it's true
Or everything that matters breaks in two
Say it's true
I'll never ask for anyone but you
But I know what you want is to figure it out
And God knows I do too
What can I do?
Say it's true
I'll never ask for anyone but you
Their anger was still there but was reducing.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Na, na, na, na, na, na
I'm sorry
So what?
But you don't think I've said enough
I'm sorry
I don't care
You were never there
As soon as I see you
But didn't I, but didn't I tell you
As deep as I need you
You wanna leave it all
What can I do?
Say it's true
Or everything that matters breaks in two
Say it's true
I'll never ask for anyone but you
But I know what you want is to figure it out
And God knows I do too
What can I do?
Say it's true
I'll never ask for anyone but you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I'll never ask for anyone but you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I'll never ask for anyone but you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I'll never ask for anyone but you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I'll never ask for anyone but you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
As if time had reversed, Blake and Jaune were staring into each other's eyes, out of breath. That was until they dropped their mics and came together. They kissed lovingly as tears escaped their eyes. The bar erupted into applause. They pulled part and both said the same thing, "I'm sorry." They both chuckled with that and kissed again. They missed Yang and Nora high-five and walk out of the bar with beaming smiles on.
A/N- So for those of you that have read this previously, I have changed this chapter form a Search for Closure to a new style of chapter call Duet from the Heart. These chapters will involve Jaune singing together with the woman of that chapter. That also means I'll be doing a new SfC for Blake relatively soon, so look forward to that.
