Chapter 29
The day of the dance came surprisingly quickly and after getting ready I put on my black suit with a dark brown tie I then get Ruby a corsageout my inventory. I got it for her a couple days ago they were a mix of roses and these silver flowers they looked nice and I think that they would suit her.
When I got outside their dorm at the agreed upon time I knocked "just a minute" a voice says I think it was Weiss.
The door opened to reveal Weiss in her dress, she looked nice. "hey so are you guys ready" I ask. Truthfully, I mostly was asking for Ruby, but the others are still friends and I would like to speak to them too.
"your finally here Jack" I hear and then watched as she dragged Ruby towards us. She looked great.
Ruby was in a simple black and red, armless dress she looked pretty and elegant.
The elegance was ruined when she almost tripped on her heels. "hey Ruby, you look great" I say honestly making her face tint. After I notice Yang`s pointed look I sigh "you look okay too I guess" I say making Ruby giggle.
"not that come outside I wanna talk" Yang says dragging me and Ruby out the room.
"you look nice too Jack" Ruby says nervously making me smile which quickly fades when Yang makes barfing sounds.
"do you two minds not doing that around me" she complains she can really be childish to try and get this over with quickly me and Ruby nods. "so I`ll be trusting you too behave no funny business okay" I stop myself from rolling my eyes were going to a dance with the rest of beacon it`s not like were sneaking off to the movies to make out or anything like that. "so Ruby you know what to do when you have a drink" she asks.
"yeah I know don't accept a drink unless I saw them pour it and keep an eye on my drink" I don't think that she would need to worry about that in Beacon or at least I hope that`s not a thing here I don't even think team Cardinal would do it even in there worse day.
Speaking of reach it was obvious that they weren't seeking forgiveness, they haven't even apologised but they stopped harassing people ever since Jaune stuck up for himself.
"good what about you Jack" she says turning to me.
"don't spike anyone's drink right" I say dryly.
"well that was implied" she replies, and I then make an oh sound as if this were new information wincing when Ruby poked me in the ribs.
"be nice" she says telling me off, so I nod raining myself in.
"so anyway, have fun you two but not too much fun and I want her back by nine" she says strictly.
"But the party doesn't end till 10" Ruby says looking annoyed about how protective she was being it really must be suffocating. I`m glad I`m not like that with Hazel.
"okay fine you can have till later but don't do anything that you would regret" Yang says making us blush.
"were not even at that stage Yang" I say.
"yeah at most there will be some light touching when we kiss" Ruby says quickly after me embarrassed when she realised what she said she blushed even harder.
"yeah that is too much information" Yang says looking pretty grossed out and I can`t blame her.
"sorry" she stutters "let's just go" she says grabbing my hand as she begins walking off embarrassed, so I was wave goodbye to Yang before I walk off with her.
Then I realised something "hey aren't we all going to the same place why did we go without the others.
"I don't actually know Yang just said something like since we're a couple your supposed to take me" Ruby says making me nod I guess that this is like a date then that`s nice. What`s nicer though is watching Ruby walk.
She was in heels, so she needed to lean on me to balance a couple times I needed to keep her from falling. "well I wouldn't complain about some alone time" I say with a grin before holding out the corsage to her "hey Rubes I got you this" I say putting it on her arm.
"it`s beautiful Jack thank you" she says stretching her legs to kiss my cheek making my whiskers tickle again and I feel a pleasureful sensation run through my body. It was nice and relaxing.
"well when I saw it I thought of you" I sat making her blush then before I lose my confidence I pull out a trimmed single rose "I got this for myself I thought that I would put it in my breast pocket and then we can match" I say looking away, it`s a stupid idea I already know that.
"that sounds sweet" Ruby says smiling back at me and I can`t help but smile back putting the rose in my pocket feeling more confident hopefully nothing happens to ruin this night.
When we got in Ruby ended up almost tripping over when we got in the room "Stupid lady stilts!" she complains "I miss my hood" she says pouting making me chuckle.
"Not enjoying yourself?" Ozpin asks making us both jump I didn't expect to see him today so casually.
"Oh, no, everything's fine! I'm just not much of a fancy pantsy... dancey girl." Ruby says after getting past her surprise, I don't think that the last few things were actual words, but I felt the same.
Minus the girl part.
"yeah and my last party got me arrested" I say remembering when I first me Ruby she's still too loud sometimes to be honest I really don't know how Qrow can be around her when he`s hungover.
Ozpin then smiles with a raised brow "you weren't arrested you were detained the paper work involved is completely different" he says making me and Ruby laugh lightly of course he remembered that part "and besides this party will be different for starters there is no alcohol and secondly there will be no criminals to fight" he says and Ruby nods.
"sounds pretty boring then" I joke.
"Sometimes I regret letting Qrow spend so much time with you he`s seems to have corrupted you" Ozpin says making me splutter, it seems like the old man has jokes because I don't have a drinking problem, I`ve only gone out drinking a couple times since joining beacon. "and you can't spend your whole life on the battlefield, even if you may want to." He says that more to Ruby, I didn't want to do that either though killing Grimm and monsters in the dungeons is fun, it gives me a rush and I`m good at it.
But that`s not what I want to do for my life when I`m ready I want to settle down with a family and have kids.
"Yeah, that lesson's been floating around a lot lately." Ruby says annoyed at the answer. Must be difficult being told that when you're a fighting prodigy.
"If you think about it, fighting and dancing aren't so different. Two partners interlocked, although one wrong move on the ballroom merely leads to a swollen foot." Ozpin said and seemed like Ruby disagreed too.
"Or a twisted ankle." Ruby says looking at her feet.
I grin at that "when I was fifteen and at this party I was dared to dance on the roof I ended up tripping off the edge and I broke my ankle and some ribs with some mad bruises and there was so much blood so dancing can be dangerous" I say as if I proved some important point.
Looking back some of them probably wanted me to fall lucky with aura after a week I was right as rain. Qrow made fun of me a ton though.
"you were probably drunk then though Jack" Ruby says making me nod that is true.
"well moving on" Ozpin says "It's not every day that friends are able to come together like this. Time has a way of testing our bonds, but it's nights like these that can help keep them stronger than ever. Nights like these are ones we'll never forget." That was true although I feel like were closer when we're fighting Grimm or stuff in my dungeons.
We both smile at Ozpin`s words and when he leaves I turn to Ruby "may I have this dance Milady" I ask giving an over the top bow.
"but I can`t dance" Ruby says hesitantly I can`t dance really but doesn't hurt to try.
"you`ll never learn if you don't try come on" I say smiling. After a couple seconds of hesitance, she takes my hand slowly and guide her to the dance hall, faking some confidence and knowledge hopefully won't hurt.
When we got to a good place we stopped "so what do we do now" Ruby asks nervously making me pause. What do we do now?
I`m not big on dancing and I've certainly never had to do a couple's dance. Wait I know some stuff about dancing from tv. "so, you wrap your arms around my shoulders" I say moving her hands to wrap around my shoulders. Then I blush putting my hands on her sides "then I put my hands here and then we walk in unison from side to side" I say awkwardly keeping my hands where they are.
I don't want to ruin things by getting gropey and we then start dancing together. We were both clumsy and struggled to keep in line with each other. at some points it was painful when we would bump into each other and she would step on my toes.
It was nice but.
"do you want to go grab some punch I`m getting kind of tired of dancing" Ruby said making me nod it's nice but I would still prefer to just do something like go to the movies with her.
"yeah sure" I reply, and we walk over to the punch bowl where we stand there for a bit drinking the punch until we notice Jaune.
"I see you two hiding at the punch bowl too" Jaune says to us making us nod.
" Yep" Ruby says emphasizing the p part.
"yeah we got bored of dancing and went here instead" now that we didn't have dancing to distract us I was starting to feel uncomfortable it's far too loud in here.
"To the socially awkward." Jaune says making Ruby clink glasses with him, it was a loud clinking sound that made me uncomfortable when I noticed the looks they were giving me I straightened.
"sorry guys I got headache I'll go get some fresh air." I say quickly leaving as I pull out some headphones. There wasn't any music on yet, but they should help to block out some sound.
When I got outside I quickly sat down and tried to control my breathing that was pretty bad, probably worst then I've had in a while. Luckily, I was able to get out and relax before I had an attack, but I still hated that it happened.
It makes me a liability a dead weight if something like that happened in a fight. I thought my semblance fixed stuff like this.
Not long after I calmed down I felt a hand on my shoulder making me jump "are you okay Jack" a soft voice asked and when I recollected myself I looked to the source to see Ruby standing there looking worried.
"yeah I`m okay sorry for worrying you guess, I just got overwhelmed with everything that was going on" I say honestly even if I could get away with lying it just felt wrong.
"it was starting to get boring anyway I got everything good on my scroll come look at this" she says making me smile at her as I go to her she has always been so caring.
"holy crap" I let out when I saw the picture speechless, there was a lot of things that I never expected to see. I had actually made a list of stuff not long ago when I was bored. It was a big list and I kind of thought that I got everything.
I didn't think off everything it seems not that you can blame me who would have thought of this anyway Jaune in a dress. That is one of the strangest things that I've ever seen outside of Qrow when he's drunk.
He doesn't count though.
"yeah it surprised me too he said something about how an Arc never goes back on their word then went off to get changed when he was done he and his team did this super cool dance routine that was super good" she said sounding impressed at the end.
I sure feel like I missed a lot but there is one thing that's making me feel weird "is it weird that I think he pulls off the dress well"
"as long as you don't think that he looks better than I do" Ruby asks jokingly making me grin at her.
"well now but if he is dancing is well as you say he his then he certainly seems to be walking better then you" I joke back making her pout.
"he's not wearing stilts though but no it's not weird I thought that he actually looked pretty good" Ruby says agreeing with me and then she leans in to give peck on the lips. "I missed you" she says shyly.
I lean in to kiss her back.
"I missed you too" I say leaning in to kiss her back we pull back when we see a figure running across the rooftop and without any words we followed them.
So I hope you all enjoyed it's weird we're almost at 30 chapters I wanted to assure people that even with the extra stories I'm adding this is my main attention
Surprised Cuddling
Don't know which chapter
I was having a ton of fun but it was starting to get pretty difficult.
I was on my 24 waves with only ten enemies left and I had a bow staff that I was currently using. With me and Nara we were going through enemies quickly. When I met into a crowd enemy. I throw a Molotov at the group and jumped in the first attack was aimed at the Zombies head making it crack open. Then I switched to a one-handed grip and swept the legs of them knocking them over.
I then switch to two war axes quickly beheading them all but one. I then wait till my bars refill before I finish it of by stomping on the Zombies head.
Wave 24 finished
24,000 XP
24,000 Lien
5 healing potions
5 grenades
One assault rifle
Two assault rifle magazines
1 long sword
Wave 25 begins
25 enemies remain.
Okay that`s some good stuff with all this stuff I finish of the wave fairly quickly and then I see a gross looking zombie.
It was fat looking and bloated it smelt worse than normal zombies, but it was slow moving so I stab it in the face with my sword. That was pretty eas- The zombie then explodes surprising me, and I get blown to bits my ears ringing as everything fades to black.
When I woke up I was I was warm and comfortable making me smile. So far this is way better then I though me dying would be. Then I started to get suspicious.
This didn't seem like my bed; it didn't smell the same and the pillows were arranged differently to how they are normally. What made it more apparent was that I had a comfortable weight on my chest.
Wait what.
I quickly open my eyes and I felt myself nearly have a heart attack.
Ruby was lying on my chest snoring slightly in her pyjamas and she had a face mask covering her eyes, I couldn't help but notice how cute she looked.
I had my arms around Ruby, and she was on my chest with her raising up and down on mine as she breathes.
I was tired and comfortable, so I shrug going back to sleep.
Then after what felt like a couple hours I heard a loud voice waking me up "what the fuck do you thing your doing" the voice said waking me up as the weight on me quickly leaves and then I realised what was going on.
Dear god if you are out there please be merciful.
Looking around I saw a glaring Yang with red eyes and her hair was slightly alight is it too late to run off, at my current ability I have no chance beating Yang with her like this. Weiss was glaring at me with disgust, Ruby wasn't making eye contact with me her face completely red. At least Blake wasn't that bothered.
"I can explain" I say weakly wincing as Yang grabs my collar with a tight grip, is it to late to escape from here.
"you better" Yang snarls.
"I mean really doing that in here were the rest of us sleep so uncouth" Weiss says three people glare at here.
"we didn't do that" me and Ruby said in unison.
"you didn't" Blake says in surprise.
"not of course we`re not even dating, this isn't like your ninjas of love books" I snap, when I`m nervous I tend to do that. I then sigh trying to calm myself down "I got killed in my ID by this weird exploding zombie thing, you know how weird my semblance can be weird it must have been doing it to embarrass us" I say making her calm down somewhat her eyes were still red but at least she wasn't about to hit me, I think.
"you better not be lying" Yang says weakening her grip and I nod.
"I think if I`ve had umm you know I would realise it" Ruby said with a blush.
"Yeah and neither of us would do something like that outside of a proper relationship" I say calming her down making me realise the breath I was holding,
"okay I`ll believe you two but if I find out your lying you`ll regret it" Yang says making us both nod then I saw a scary twinkle in her eye. "but you guys should wait until the others hear about this" she says making us both glare at her.
"But no one will or I`ll tell everyone about that fire you started" Ruby says getting a twinkle in her own eye.
"yeah and I`ll tell Nora that you were the one who ate her last pancake and not Jaune" both our replies make her pale as she agrees to keep it as secret before me and team RWBY go our separate ways with me and Ruby unable to speak or look at each other for the rest of the day.
