Weiss sat at the old library by the castle, looking intently at an old Family album that Sara Arc lent her. Because of how focused she was in the photos, she didn't noticed when Ruby approached her from behind. It was their last day of summer vacation and the Schnee bullhead would come to take them all back to Beacon in the afternoon, so the red-haired girl wanted to spend as much time with her partner as they could.
"Weiss?" Ruby called in a low voice, but the heiress didn't heard it, so focused she was. "WEISS!"
"Ruby!?" Weiss shouted as she jumped in her seat. "This is a library you dunce!"
"Only the two of us are here and you didn't hear the first time I called. What are you looking at?" Ruby asked seating by her partner's side. Weiss showed her the old album. There, she saw a white haired woman besides a younger Sara Arc.
"My mom and Jaune's were friends when they both where Huntresses. I never knew she was a Huntress… My father… he barely speaks of her…" Weiss said, clearly sad, something that Ruby could understand, so the redhead gently put her arms around Weiss.
"So, are you happy that Sara talked about her?"
"Yes, according to Sara and Michael my mom was proud, elegant, gentle and caring. They even promised me to give me some pictures." Weiss stated as she turned the page. In that picture, her mother was hugging a woman in a hood, which made Ruby gasp.
"Mom?" She said to herself, looking at the face she sometimes had trouble remembering, her eyes filling with tears.
"Oh, don't do that to me, Ruby! If you start to cry I will…"
It was too late, now both young girls were crying together over their mothers. Weiss gently hugged Ruby and caressed her back, as the reaper cried her eyes on the heiress shoulder. It took a few moments before they could put their emotions under control once again. Ruby used her cloak to dry her eyes, and Weiss ended up doing the same.
"Do you think Sara would mind telling us story about our mothers?" Ruby asked, and Weiss smiled.
"I think she would like to. Let's find her." Weiss said as she closed the album. "We can ask her copies of those pictures for you too."
"I am so glad now that Jaune invited us here." Ruby said as she got up. "We need to properly thank him when he got back to Beacon."
"By the way, were he is? Hiding from your sister, his partner and the Malachite girl?" Weis asked as she got up, album in her hands.
"He said he was going to visit his grandma that leaves outside the town. He told me he need to solve this love… square?... Thing and that his grandma is wise. I hope he choose Yang, though I will feel said for Pyrrha and Miltia." Ruby said as they walked around the castle.
"I heard that here you can marry with whoever you want, and even marry more than one people at a time." Weiss said, and Ruby laughed.
"Imagine Jaune married with all those three?"
"That is if he survives the engagement period." Weiss joked and they laughed again.
"So, could we get married here?" Ruby asked, a finger in her chin. Weiss rolled her eyes.
"We would have to date first, which we aren't." She said in a final tone.
…
"Why grandma can't just live in the town?" Jaune questioned as he slayed another Beowulf. His grandmother by his father side lived in the forests in the other side of the rivers, in a small house made of stone. Despite her old age, she still was a fearsome Huntress and could slay an Ursa Major just with her bare hands, or so everyone believed. The fact she lived in Grimm infested woods was more than proof enough for Jaune. "I just hope she is home and not in another of her adventures. Last time she was away for a year and come back after defeating an evil organization."
He finally arrived at the house and saw smoke coming out of its chimney. He was relieved that his grandmother was there, and thankful that his training paid off. Most times he would need the escort of one of his sisters to visit the old Arc woman. But now he just was able to hold on his own and felt proud of it. Unfortunately for the young Arc he didn't had the time to enjoy his performance as a large sword tried to hit him, forcing him to block the attack with his shield.
"Damn, grandma, is that how you greet your grandson?" He complained as he pushed her back and got ready.
"You can't be Jaune, Jaune can't fight me." The old Arc woman answered attacking again, her white long hair flowing in the air, her pale blue eyes shining at the sun. She wore a light violet armor over a white dress, and she looked at least twenty years younger than her real age.
"I have being training, grandma!" Jaune answered attacking back, but missing the woman for a few inches.
"Oh hoho, that certainly is Crocea Mors." She said putting her sword down. She approached Jaune and touched his face, since her vision was lost many years before, yet didn't make her a less formidable foe. "Jauney! It is you!"
"Nice to see you again, grandma." He answered hugging the older women.
"So, who is she?" the older woman asked, surprising Jaune.
"She?" He asked surprised as they moved to sit in the bench near the house.
"Well, it could be a he too. But only love could change the wimpy boy you were into a true Hunter. A bit slop in your swordplay, true, but you have the hang of it." She stated, and Jaune smiled.
"My partner at Beacon, Pyrrha Nikos, is training me." He answered, and grandma Arc laughed at it.
"So, are you here to ask me how to confess your love to the girl? If she put up with you long enough to make you a warrior, I don't think you have anything to worry about." She spoke and Jaune sighed. "Oh, does she love another person?"
"No, I am sure she loves me. And she made it pretty clear already." He answered, and his grandma started laughing.
"I see, you like other girl then?" She asked and Jaune sighed again.
"It is not that. I love Pyrrha. She is my partner, trainer and best friend. I am lucky to have her. But… There are two other girls that are in love with me, and the thought of hurting them pains me too much." He explained, and his grandma kept a pensive face.
"Who are the other girls?"
"Yang Xiao Long, she is also a student at Beacon. She is awesome, you know. Can punch an Ursa like it is nothing. She is also funny and caring."
"Xiao Long? The daughter of Tayang? Oh, now I wish I still could use my eyes to see the face of that man when he learns my grandson made his daughter fall in love with him." She gave a pleasant laugh and Jaune could just laugh together. "Who's the third girl? Summer's daughter?"
"Ruby? No, I think she have something with Weiss Schnee. The third girl is Miltiades Malachite. A sweetheart, you know. They all have given me way too clear signs that they love me, and I don't know how to deal with it."
"Oh, Summer and Inverness daughters? That is so precious! Well, now I need to go back to the town with you." She said and as she got up, Jaune offered his arm to her. "Thanks Jauney. So, you want your old grandma to help you to decide on how you tell the girls you didn't choose that?"
"That is my problem, I can't choose. All of them are important to me. But I don't want my indecision to keep them from finding their own happiness." He answered and his grandma smiled.
"Such a nice man you become Jaune. Did you talked about this with them?"
"No, not yet. I want to do this today."
"Ah, yes. So here's my suggestion to you. Talk to them first, I will be there if you need help. But the main question you need to answer yourself is this: which of them you can't imagine living without?"
"Uh. I see. I will think about that. You are awesome, grandma."
"Of course I am. I am an Arc, after all." They both laughed at it and walked towards Arctown.
…
Pyrrha, Yang and Miltiades walked around the gardens of the Arc castle, all wondering where Jaune was. The trio decided to enjoy their last days of summer break without fighting each other (the fact Sara Arc menacingly smiled at them over the consequences of any misbehavior playing a considerable role on that) and there was the fact that all three didn't want to give the blonde knight any grief in his hometown. They found the triplets planting some flowers and decided to ask them.
"Hey girls, where ae your brother?" Yang asked and the triplets greeted them.
"Jauney is visiting grandma, he might come back before lunch. Hope he bring her here." Savannah answered.
"Oh, I want to meet his grandma!" Miltiades said in a chirpy tone.
"She is quite a figure. I apologize in advance if she does something… weird." Savannah spoke, making the trio look at each other.
"Hey, have any of you kissed Jauney yet?" Dia asked, making the girls blush. "Not yet? I was expecting he had his first kiss already.
"Jauney never kissed before?" Yang questioned; a grin in her face.
"Not that he had told us. Oh well, I think with you three, it is bound to happen sooner than later now. Why don't you girls go to his room? I will take him there as soon as he comes back." Noir said, explaining where Jaune's old room was. They thanked the triplets and walked back into the castle.
The trio entered the old room in one of the towers. The room was tidied up and was quite simple. The bed was small, and there were few items of furniture. But there were several paintings in the wall. The shelf was filled with old books with epic tales of bravery. And in the table, many pictures of Jaune and his family. They all smiled as they explored the room, seeing a bit more of the clumsy knight they fell in love with.
"Hey… what you two will do if he doesn't choose you?" Pyrrha asked as she sat in the bed, opening one of Jaune's books.
"Me? I would probably cry a lot and eat a ton of chocolate ice-cream." Yang answered promptly. But internally, she was cringing at the idea of letting Jaune go. She learned so much about him in the last few months and couldn't deny he took her heart. They looked at Miltiades, which had teary eyes as she looked at one of the pictures on the table. "Miltia?"
"Do we really have to do it like this?" She said, and they looked at each other wondering what she meant. "Yang, I consider you my friend now. And I like you too, Pyrrha, you are so nice. I… I don't want to see any of you hurt, but I also don't want to not be with him…"
"Oh Miltia…" Pyrrha hugged the girl. She also realized that despite her deep love for Jaune, seeing her friends hurting would still from the moment of happiness she dreamed about. Yang then hugged them both, a wild thought across her head.
"I wonder what Jaune would say if we suggested to him to… To take us all…" She murmured, and the other girls considered it for a bit. They were all in friendly terms, despite their dispute over Jaune, and all of them considered their rivals friends and good people. So, the thought didn't sound as absurd.
They stopped hugging when they heard the door opening.
…
Sara told Weiss and Ruby as many stories about their mothers as she could remember over cookies and milk. The young girls had teary eyes and smiles most of the times as the older woman kept telling tales of victories, sadness and laughs over her old friends that were no more with them. She only stopped because lunch time drew closer and she needed to supervise the cooks.
As she left, both Weiss and Ruby walked silently towards the lake, thinking about how full of meaningful events their lives had. There was one thing though that kept hammering in their heads, one thing that Sara told that their mothers shared. That they loved their daughters very much, and would never left their side willingly. To both girls, that meant a lot as they realized they missed their mothers a lot.
"Hey, Weiss, when we come back, let's ask the teacher about our moms…"
"Yes Ruby, let's. Maybe we could even make a book, so others could know how they were." The heiress said, the idea bringing a bright smile to Ruby's face.
"Thanks Weiss. I wonder if we would become friends earlier if our moms were still around."
"I would have liked that a lot. You are… special, to me…" Weiss said, and Ruby grabbed her hand, gently pushing them closer.
"You are special to me too, Weiss. Weiss… I…"
Ruby didn't need to talk. Weiss gently kissed her partner, making Ruby close her eyes and just accept the chaste kiss. After a moment they broke apart and smiled at each other, before kissing again, a deeper kiss this time, hugging each other gently. To Weiss Ruby's lips tasted of strawberry and cookies, while to Ruby her partner's lips tasted of fresh mint. And they loved each other tastes.
"Are we a couple now, Weiss?" Ruby asked; her forehead against the heiress's own.
"Yes, Ruby, now we are a couple."
"How will we tell our friends?"
"Better just let the cat out of the bag as soon as possible. We will get so much teasing for this." Weiss said, kissing Ruby again.
"Well, as far as I am concerned, it is so worth it if I can get your kisses all the time."
"Well, we probably shouldn't kiss during classes though." They shared a laugh before kissing again, only disturbed when Coco, Velvet, Blake, Sun and Neptune started taking pictures.
…
"Hello, are the three girls in love with my Jauney here?" Jaune's grandmother asked, using her sheathed sword as a cane. Pyrrha promptly got closer to her.
"Uh, hello, I am Jaune's partner, Pyrrha."
"My, what a lovely voice you have. Let me touch you to get an idea on how you look like…" The older woman touched Pyrrha's face gently, then her shoulder, and then she literally groped Pyrrha's chest, waist and behind, getting a yelp from the Spartan. "My, what a fit body you have, and what a lovely face. So, now the other two. No point in hiding, I can hear you just fine."
"Er, ma'am…" Miltiades started before being groped.
"Call me Jennifer; it is my name after all. My, you look like a cute one." After that she groped Yang, which put little resistance on the somewhat weird Arc. "Ah, you really are Tayang and Raven's daughter, such fit body. Jauney is one lucky Arc. So, are you all in love with him?"
"Yes…" they said together, and Jennifer laughed gently, before sitting on the bed. "He holds all of you dear too, you know?"
"But… We can't all have him…" Miltiades said in a sad tone.
"My father had two wives. He loved them a lot, but they didn't love each other. It was… messy." Jennifer said, but held a smile in her face. "Do you girls dislike each other?"
"No, I like Yang and Miltia a lot." Pyrrha said; a smile in her face as she looked to the girls, which smiled back at her.
"So, I think you four have a chance. You can count on me for council if you need. Now, I think you all need to talk with Jauney. Just one thing: you hurt him, and there will be no place safe for you to hide." She said in a tone that the girls understood was not a joke. As she left the room, Jaune entered.
"Hey, hope my grandma didn't do anything embarrassing. She is a bit too forward for most people." He said and looked at the girls staring towards him weirdly. "I think she did something weird…"
He could not keep talking as Pyrrha hugged him and gave him a kiss, surprising him. It was a nice, gentle kiss. As she separate from him, Yang held him by his collar and gave him a passionate kiss, leaving him breathless. Lastly, Miltiades kissed him gently at first but eager at the end. They all left Jaune confused and speechless for a moment, before he finally found words to speak.
"Wow." He mustered.
"Jaune, would you accepted all of us?" Pyrrha asked, afraid from his answer. Jaune smiled and put the three girls into a hug.
"This won't be easy." He spoke.
"We know." Yang answered, resting her face in his shoulder.
"People will judge us all the time."
"Fuck them." Miltiades said as she rested her face in his chest.
"Our friends will tease us to no end."
"Oh yes, they will…" Pyrrha said with a smile, kissing Jaune again.
"Oh, maybe not that much, because guess who is a couple now?" Micaela said with her scroll in hand, showing Weiss and Ruby kissing. "And now my little brother has three beautiful girlfriends, I am so proud!"
…
Everyone celebrated Weiss and Ruby relationship, mostly saying how about time it was for them to assume their love. They all agreed the two girls were the cutest couple ever and were legitimately happy for them. Of course, Yang didn't wasted time before teasing them, making Ruby blush hard and Weiss yell at her a lot.
On the other hand, everyone was surprised on the resolution that Jaune, Pyrrha, Yang and Miltiades story took. Blake was happy for them, and for the fact she was the only one that bet they would try a polyamorous relationship and got good money out of it. The Arc family was happy, but they all gave Jaune and the girls' lots of advices. Their friends also chimed in, but all in the end offered their support for them. Melanie just threatened Jaune over how we would never make her sister sad. Ruby also gave a few threats herself, but hugged them and wished them best of luck.
It was Jennifer Arc that gave the best advice to them though.
"As long as your love is true and honest, you will be always together, and happiness will come."
…
A.N. Well, with this I finish this arc (Yang is a bad influence to my puns). From now I probably will use this fanfic for a series of experiments with crossover stories, alternate universes and sometimes just general debauchery.
Weiss and Ruby would make the cutest couple ever. The show itself doesn't hint them as romantically involved, and that is why I took my time with them. Again, if you ship them together, good. If you don't, good too, it is not like I have any influence on canon. I just tried to create a nice story.
I was unsure with the polyamorous ending for Jaune and the girls. I know lots of people see it as a male power fantasy, but I just couldn't decide between them. Of course, flagship Arkos is my favorite, and I hope in canon Jaune and Pyrrha get together soon. Fanfics made me like the idea of Jaune and Yang as a couple a lots. In fact, I intend to write a Jaune X Yang fic first before resuming stories here. My other story, King of Knights, will be updated regularly from now on.
Lastly, I really liked writing Miltia and Jaune. Might as well do more stories with them. It is easy to work with Miltia as she doesn't have a lot of character development in the show already, and I try to stay true to the characters, which is hard if they already are developed. I don't like to deviate much otherwise they stop being the same characters and become one completely different.
Ok them, time to think about my Golden Moon story. Yep, that is how I will call Yang x Jaune pairing from now on.
