Those were the fastest five hours of cooking the Velvet had ever experienced. Once Velvet had set one foot in Sydney's kitchen they had started cooking. Velvet's knowledge on cooking was somewhat limited compared to Jaune's and Sydney's, but that didn't hold her back. She became a sort of Sous-Chef. Preparing the batter, cracking eggs, mixing ingredients in advance. Honestly she thought that the entire time was going to be filled with Jaune solely focused on Sydney and to somewhat ignore Velvet, but they had both pleasantly surprised her. For everything they did they included Velvet. For example; Jaune had mentioned a somewhat inside joke on how Sydney had almost burned all the hair off her tail in their big pizza oven, and when Sydney had seen Velvet's confused look, she had gone into this long and comedic story about how stressed out she was that day and how it almost lead to that incident.
About three hours into working there was a twenty minute break in between customers, and Jaune had decided to teach Velvet how to make a three layered carrot cake. It had ended with a somewhat lopsided looking cupcake, but the really kicker was that there was a small dab of white frosting on her nose, and Jaune had decided that clean it off by scooping it off with his finger and eating the glaze. Velvet couldn't look at Jaune for the next 17 customers without blushing immensely at that somewhat erotic memory. '…well…it was erotic for me okay!' Velvet thought to herself.
It was now 1 in the afternoon, and since Sydney's restaurant was a breakfast diner, she had decided to close up for the day. Also, the fact that she had seen more business in one day that she had seen that past month didn't keep here back from closing early and spending some time with the two teenagers that had made that possible. Sydney had gone upstairs to take a quick shower. She had left Jaune and Velvet alone in the dining area telling them that she was going to treat them to something special for helping her today.
Velvet still lightly blushed when she looked at Jaune, but he didn't seem to realize since he was looking somewhat nervous and was beginning the scratch the back of his head. "H-hey Velvet." Jaune said to his companion. Velvet had thought that he had caught her staring at him and blushed harder than she had just been. Seeing how he had gotten her attention he continued. "I-I was thinking…that i-if you would…well…" Jaune was having a bit of trouble trying to say what was on his mind. Velvet on the other hand was starting to guess at what he was trying to say that was making him this flustered.
'OH MY GOD! Is he going to ask me out?! I don't think I'm ready for this yet! NO! I am ready. I've been ready since he had asked for me to follow him alone to that field a few days ago.' Velvet was thinking to herself. Jaune had taken a huge gulp of hair and let out a sigh, preparing for what he was going to say. 'Here it is! Here it is! HERE IT-'
"I would really like it if I got to know more about you!" Jaune said quickly. "I know I'm probably rushing this, but you've already learned so much about me these past few days. Now I want to learn just as much about you. Especially if I want us to be a coup- I-I-I mean, great friends! Ya…that!" Jaune said, a bit panicked at his slight slip up. Velvet had a brief look of anguish on her face, but it quickly passed when she heard what Jaune was saying. That little slip up he had also didn't go unnoticed by Velvet though as she grew a wide grin.
'I think I'll just pretend I missed that little slip. If only for his peace of mind.' Velvet thought to herself. "That would be wonderful Jaune." Velvet said while reaching out one of her hands and grasping Jaune's forearm. "Whatever you want to know about me, I'll tell you all about it." She continued. Jaune started to blush at the contact between the two of them and opened his mouth.
"Well let's get going you two!" Said Sydney as she came out from the kitchen area and walked around the booth. "It's time I gave you two a treat for being so darn nice and helping me pick my business off the ground." Sydney was dressing much more conservatively than she was last time. She had on a pair of faded blue jeans, some flip flops, a black t-shirt of a wolf howling at the moon, and a light sweater grey sweater. She didn't wait for the two teens to respond to her though as she grabbed one in each of her arms and headed out the door.
"First! We're going to go see that new Spruce Willis movies. Then we're going to have a nice time in the pack, followed up by a late lunch, and finally! We're hitting the club tonight!" Sydney said with a wide smile. Jaune only sighed in defeat as he let Sydney drag him along. Velvet started to bounce in excitement at their planned activities for the rest of the day.
'Oh boy! Maybe at the movies I'll get Jaune to wrap his arm around me! And at the park we can hold hand! Then when we eat he can feed me whatever he got. And I can finally get a dance with him!' Velvet was happily daydreaming about Jaune leading her through a passionate salsa dance, where at the end he would dip Velvet down ever so slowly as his face would come inch by inch closer to hears and finally-.
"You think she's okay?" Sydney asked Jaune as they both started at Velvet crumpled on the floor with swirly eyes and a bit of drool coming from her mouth.
Jaune just shrugged as he picked Velvet up and swung her right arm over his shoulder so he could help her walk. "I think she'll be fine. She's probably just daydreaming." Jaune replied casually.
Author's Note: Okay I'm going to be testing out putting the AN at the bottom now since I might start writing here more, and I don't want you to have to scroll down past my An just to read the story. First and foremost, 'Her With, Pink, and Brown Knight' is one of the adorable, most fantastic things I've ever seen and read. I highly recommend it. The author of the story is Friday Knight. He also wrote 'Bad Boys' which I found hilarious and also wonderfully written. Also with some reasonable deduction skills, some people can guess what might happen at the club in the next chapter. PM me if you have a theory and want to confirm it, but for those who will wait patiently and with slight anger, I'll hope you'll be there. For a night at the club!
