Jaune was standing in his bedroom just looking through his closet for the appropriate clothing he needed. In the background, his radio was playing random songs while he did so. He sighed in relief as he finally found them and put them on his bed. He just looked at his suit for a bit with a sad look in his eyes.

He gently rubbed his eyes before he looked away and his eyes landed on the picture on his dresser. He walked over and picked it up. It was a picture of himself and JNPR back during their days at Beacon. He smiled and when his eyes stayed on Nora, he smiled just a bit wider. That smile soon fell and he sighed again, this one more sorrowful. He gently placed it down as he walked over to his window and looked out as it gently rained.

He never planned to fall in love with his bubbly teammate but it had happened. He tried to bury these feelings with no luck. As time went on and Ren and Nora still didn't get together, he started to believe she didn't feel that way about him. And that gave him hope. At that time, a song he knew by heart came on and before he could stop he was singing.

(Play Marry Me by Thomas Rhett.)

She wants to get married, she wants it perfect
She wants her grandaddy preaching the service
Yeah, she wants magnolias out in the country
Not too many people, save her daddy some money

Ooh, she got it all planned out
Yeah, I can see it all right now

I'll wear my black suit, black tie, hide out in the back
I'll do a strong shot of whiskey straight out the flask
I'll try to make it through without crying so nobody sees
Yeah, she wanna get married
But she don't wanna marry me

He sat down on his bed and looked up at the ceiling.

I remember the night when I almost kissed her
Yeah, I kinda freaked out, we'd been friends for forever
And I always wondered if she felt the same way
When I got the invite, I knew it was too late

And I know her daddy's been dreading this day
Oh, but he don't know he ain't the only one giving her away

I'll wear my black suit, black tie, hide out in the back
I'll do a strong shot of whiskey straight out the flask
I'll try to make it through without crying so nobody sees
Yeah, she wanna get married
But she don't wanna marry me

Flash forward and Jaune was standing off to the side in his suit. Watching Ren and Nora have their first dance as husband and wife. He gave the two a sad smile before he silently slipped away. He started to remember everything from today and it matched perfectly with the song, which he began to sing again.

Bet she got on her dress now, welcoming the guests now
I could try to find her, get it off of my chest now
But I ain't gonna mess it up, so I'll wish her the best now

So I'm in my black suit, black tie, hiding out in the back
Doing a strong shot of whiskey straight out the flask
I'll try to make it through without crying so nobody sees
Yeah, she wanna get married
Yeah, she gonna get married
But she ain't gonna marry me
Whoa, she ain't gonna marry me, no

He sighed again. He leant his back against the tree and took out his flask to take one last shot, he didn't want to get drunk. He took out some gum right afterwards and put it into his mouth to fix his breath. He looked over at the setting Sun as he let his tears finally fall. He stood there and silently cried for a few minutes.

"Jaune!" he heard a very familiar person yell to him. He quickly wiped away his tears and put on his best smile before he turned to face her. There she was, Nora Valkyrie-Ren now. She was still in her white dress and looked magnificent. She tilted her head slightly, "Have you been crying?"

He cursed himself but rolled with it, "Guilty. The whole day has been so beautiful. Thought I finally got some privacy to let it all out. You know, keep some of my masculinity." He added jokingly.

Nora just giggled and his heart fluttered, "That's silly. No one would make fun of you, Jaune. Everyone was tearing up at one point or another."

He nodded, "Maybe but I was the best-man, I couldn't ruin the moment like that."

"Awww, Jaune. That's sweet." She then gave him one of her near bone breaking bear hugs, that he had come to love from her. "You wouldn't have ruined it though. You being here for us, that makes it perfect."

That made his heart feel as light as a feather and as heavy as a brick all at once. He took a deep breath, 'Suck it up.' He thought to himself before he gently hugged her back. "That means a lot, Nora. Thank you."

She looked up at him, "Not a problem." She then broke the hug and stepped away from him, "Come on, let's get back to the party before we're missed."

He smiled, "Well, you are the bride. Guess it is all about you today."

She smirked at him, "You know it." She grabbed his hand and started to pull him behind her. "Now let's go."

He let her pull him as he just looked at her with a melancholy smile. 'Never seen her this happy before. Just proves this is the right choice. Her and Ren are perfect for each other. The best thing I can do is to get out of the way but stay close enough for when they need me. It's the least I can do.'

With that thought, he sped up just enough to walk beside her. She didn't let go of his hand but he didn't bring that up, he was going to enjoy it for the time being before he let her go. Both physically and emotionally.


A/N- Not much to say on this one. A little different from the others but not too much so. Hans50 was the one to suggest the song, so shoutout to them. I hope you all enjoyed and feel free to leave a review. With that said, I'll see you in the next update!
