Betrayal: An Azurite's Malachites Epilogue
Three figures made their way to a small cottage in Patch a bit away from the trade center of the island city, it was a bit more quiet, peaceful even. Two of the figures looked nearly identical, they're hair grown out into long waterfalls of ebony locks with eyes the brightest shade of emerald complimenting their fair skin. They were sisters, identical in almost every way the exception being their outfits. Not as flashy as their former wear from they're days as bouncers for their uncle's club but still eye drawing none the less.
Melanie stood proud a baggy, black crop jacket with white fur trim around the neck and black-and-white straps along the sleeves. Beneath was a modest sleeveless white dress top the clung to her chest, beneath she wore a tight fitting movement shorts that ended just below her upper thigh showing off plenty of her pale toned flesh before once more covered up by her white stocking and black thigh high strapped boots. They'd look completely casual if not for the dust veins running up from the ankle to the thigh that feed into the heels for her devastating dust infused kicks.
Miltia outfit was a strapless red number, the dress showing off all her curves before ending at her upper thighs her black shorts peaking through the cut of its side. A black belt hugged her waist lined with the dust for her crimson styled bracers its claws retracted. Thigh-high leather Stockings drew the eye to her ending at a pair of steel ended pumps.
Both were drop dead gorgeous and they knew it, however as much as they hated to admit it they knew they were outdone by the woman between them even if only slightly. The amazon had well over eight inches on them with a figure to die for, and hair like fire that trailed down her back untied like in her youth. Her eyes were emerald like there's, yet her complexion was a healthy olive skin gained from years on the road outdoors as required of a maiden.
Her outfit had changed a white blouse hugged her top her breast hidden behind her breastplate. a brown corset clung to her waist while black pants covered her toned legs with a pair of bronze greaves beginning just beneath her knees and ending with her high-heeled boots with bronze trims. Her bracer remained. For a time the girl had tried a duster and hand to hide her face but when one was the invincible girl such proved to be little help.
Melanie shot anyone who gave the redhead a gaze a stern glare warning them off, Pyrrha hated her popularity after all. Most would think Nikos would be the last person they'd befriend but the girl was their man's partner and he'd made the effort to keep his team together even after all she'd done so they'd made the effort to keep cordial with her besides… they had a 'arrangement' of sorts.
"So cereal bitch, how's it feel to be back at our place?" Pyrrha sighed long since used to the twins crass language, though Nora, Ren, Blake and Ruby had been except from their less then appropriate names her and Weiss and Yang for some reason weren't. Forcing a smile she spoke to Jaune's… Wives and gods did recalling that burn.
"I'll be glad to see Jasmine and Jade it's been several months since the last time I visited." The Malachite's sighed not being able to take a dig at that, Pyrrha had been the best aunt to their girls one could ask for. Hell, Hei and the Mistralian basically fought over who was their favorite despite the former being their godfather. It was as they came close to the cottage that the smell of food hit them sending the three girl's stomachs rumbling to their embarrassment, what could they say food on the road was shit and far between.
"Well looks like honeys making us a nice spread." Miltia smiled.
"heh. Getting to us through our stomachs huh, damn does our know how to get into our pants… not that we weren't gonna fuck him raw after several weeks without anyways." Melanie shook her head.
"Miltia perhaps a bit of modesty with Pyrrha here." Despite her words her smile spoke of nothing but approval. Quickly the three made their way to the door Pyrrha pulling out the key all members of JNPR and RWBY were given. They made their way to the delicious smell of food finding a table filled with a number of dishes from peas, grilled corn, mashed potatoes chicken legs and the like to even a freshly baked pie.
Standing there at the stove working on yet another dish was a well-toned blonde his hair still the same familiar mop of blonde curls. His face was rugged stubble clear on it but with the addition of glasses his eyes having gone a bit after spending hours at the book and grading papers. Yet they only served to add a not of sophistication to him something that'd made lesser women purr at the sight of him. On either side of the man two smaller forms clung both identical from their blonde locks to their turquoise eyes.
One would think them twins instead of half-sisters, yet they had been born on the same day mere minutes apart. The only tell they were different being were the little hairpins with their namesakes decorated on them a gift from Pyrrha.
"Daddy, daddy I'm hungry, can't we have some pie?" The man chuckled.
"Not until you've had dinner, besides were waiting on your mothers Jade." The girl on the left pleaded her eyes wide and innocent.
"But daddy!" A hand reached down rubbing her head.
"Just wait a little longer sweetie your moms said they were on the boat last time they called in." So focused on Jade was he that he hadn't noticed how she nodded to her sister who slowly inched for the pie while her sibling distracted their father. So close was she too sweet applely goodness until a figure grabbed her little hand that inched for the desert. Looking up she was fearful at being caught like that time their dad caught them pickpocketing uncle Hei. However, her eyes widened and mouth spread into the happiest smile when she saw mom smirking smugly down at her.
"MOMMY!" Jasmine didn't hesitate to leap into Miltia's arms the woman making a point not to leave evidence of her daughter's little ploy like a good mother should. Miltia spun her little bud in circles doing a damn fine impression of a helicopter rotor. Jaune and Jade turned both going into wide smiles as Jade like her sister rushed to her own mother Melanie scooping her up rubbing noses as the girl giggled.
"Hello my little gem, have you been giving your father a hard time?" Without shame Jade smiled.
"Yep! Me and sis have pulled a butt ton of pranks on daddy!" she smirked despite Jaune's groan, Miltia hugging Jasmine tight to her bosom smiled down at her.
"Well, you two will have to tell us all about it kay? A don't skim on any details." Both girls looked up to their mothers a brow rose as sinister little smiles spread as they spoke in unison.
"It'll cost you."
"Girls!" all four Arc women ignored the male of the house.
"How much?" The two looked to one another and nodded.
"A zillion lien!" The twin struggled not to laugh.
"'pfft' How about like 2?" Said girl's eyes knitted.
"Half a zillion…"
"Four."
"…A quarter zillion? Please?" Both mothers cringed at their daughter's eyes burning with all the cuteness they'd learned to weaponize thanks in no small part to their daddy's bestie aunt Ruby. Yet the mothers stood strong before the monstrous task.
"5 lien, each." Both girls paused the two looking to one another again and then back to their mothers.
"With stories…" The Malachites smiled.
"Sure we and your auntie Pyrrha there took on a shi-"
Miltia!
"BUTT! Butt ton of baddies!"
Fuck almost screwed the pooch there… Thanks Mel.
The two girls eyes sparkled with awe at the idea of hearing such a tale and didn't hesitate to nod before putting out their little palms.
"Money up front." The twins smiled digging through their wallets a bit proud to see their uncles' lessons sticking so well. Once negotiations were finish they put their girls down with a smooch before rushing them to make it to the table wanting to sit beside their little girls. No sooner did they turn on their heels towards their man feral hungry smiles draped over the features, Jaune gave the slightest whimper at the sight something hat only served to spur them on.
"So teach, we went and took care of our big bad mission." Melanie leaned into Jaune's chest as pleased as always to feel the pecs beneath while Miltia rubbed her leg between his.
"Yeah, and we were on our best behavior, Ms. Nikos can prove it and everything." The red themed twin breathed into his ear her tone husky. Despite his arousal he looked to his partner finding her both red faced and irritated but nodding none the less.
"Th-they did well… not exceptionally for fourth years but definitely to proper standards." Jaune nodded as his arms coiled around the two's waist shocking them.
"Can you two please stop this whole bad girls after the teacher act." Melanie smiled evilly leaning in closer.
"Oh but were serious Professor Arc." Jaune shuddered as Melanie's breath hit his neck, damn them for turning his career choice into a facet of their sexy talk. After the twins had had the girls they'd wanted to work beyond the station of mere bouncers for a shady club, be something their daughters could respect. It was a off handed comment when they said they should've tried for a huntress license back in the day.
The look on their faces when he suggested they go for it was one he'd never forget, after all Beacon was more like a college then a high school. There was no age restriction and he was more than willing to support his wives' ambitions. Sure, it'd been tough for a while when they started the girls were a handful and Mel and Mil were to stressed with studies, catching up and beyond their training and the like to take care of the girls. But he loved the mothers of his children and wanted them to aspire to be more.
And Jasmine and Jade had no shortage of loving aunts willing to help take care of them… well except Weiss and Yang, they always looked constipated around the girls for some reason. Come to think of it they didn't look to pleased when he proposed to the Malachite's during his third year dance either… huh? weird.
Anyways he'd gotten some leeway thanks to his friends and took to helping them study, something miss Goodwitch had noticed. After graduating Glynda had made him an offer to take on a role as a Teaching Assistant something Mel and Mil found and I quote 'hot as fuck'. Since then the games of bang the teacher hadn't stopped. It only made it weirder when you considered that both were older than him. Mel kissed him then arms wrapping around his neck as she pressed forward.
You know your not getting a wink of sleep tonight right?
He blushed at the telepathic message and Miltia smiled feeling him press against her leg.
Well… looks like we'll be working hard to get some extra credit huh?
Gods they were bad in all the right ways… if not for his girls being feet away at the table he'd had thrown his wives on it and enjoyed his two favorite meals. So caught up was he in his lustful thoughts he'd only noticed then the door shutting to his home.
Pyrrha walked down the walkway, it hurt even though she didn't have the right to complain, her heart hammered and broke like it always did around him. Around Jaune, the man she'd loved… no the man she still love… And the one she'd betrayed, Melanie and Miltia had come into his lives when he was at his lowest and brought him back from despair. It was no secret they'd coerced the new network using their uncle's connection and intimidated most people with a chip on their shoulder towards Jaune.
They'd given him happiness, a happy marriage, loving home and two beautiful little girls… Yes, the Malachite twins had made Jaune the happiest man in remnant. And she'd envied that more than anything. That had been her dream… her desire and goal when she'd partnered with her lovable blonde… And then she'd went and ruined it all.
Tears fell as her lips trembled, she wanted to fall to her knees and cry but she would endure till she reached her hotel. It wouldn't be too hard to cry herself to sleep, she had promised the girls next time she was around she'd take them to the arcade after all.
"Pyrrha?" She stilled at his voice turning she met his eyes the two orbs glowing azure with concern for her, she hated those eyes. They made her heart skip a beat and her legs weak.
"I-I'm fine Jaune… Just, just tired, I want to get to my hotel room early today grab a shower and head to sleep." Jaune nodded before shaking his head that goofy smile on his face that made her heart ache.
"Cancel that, you can stay here tonight." Pyrrha froze.
"But, I-I wouldn't want to impose."
"Don't worry your family after all, besides Jade and Jasmine will be ecstatic to see you tomorrow at breakfast. You are their hero after all… well you and Nora." Pyrrha swallowed wanting to refuse after all the twins had gone into… 'great' detail into what they wanted to do with Jaune tonight. She didn't want to spend the night hearing them fuck again. Hearing him call Melanie an Miltia's names out over and over again while she worked herself over.
"I-I understand…." She was weak… and oh so stupid as she followed the smiling blonde back in, she looked up then, he'd grown so much… So strong. He was a amazing Huntsman, a perfect father and soon the most popular teacher in Beacon she was sure. Even after everything she'd done, he'd not abandoned her, the opposite actually. He tried really hard to mend the bridge she'd broken.
She didn't deserve it, she never would and he was perfectly okay with that, because that was who he was. A loveable blonde knight that she'd been enamored with since day one. It could've been her, this home, those children and that smile and passion in the night… Again, her heart broke just a little more. She'd never be able to get over him, not just because she refused to abandon him again, such would be as grievous as her betrayal. But because the title of Invincible Girl was no longer her only curse.
She was a maiden blessed with powers beyond any other normal man, woman or child. But would be sought after if it were ever exposed, she knew she'd never find someone she could entrust with her secret besides her team who'd she'd confided in. The door closed behind them and Jaune turned to her smiling.
"Wash your hands and then come and eat." Once more he shot her his smile, the one she'd thought lost to her. But it hadn't been, though the process had been slow and hard after facing the grimm and coming close to death she'd regained his faith. Oh Mel and Mil made it quite clear how much she didn't deserve it, close they may have been. But they'd made it quite clear her as their daughter's aunt and Jaune's ex were two separate things entirely.
Then there was Melanie's 'arrangement' honestly she'd remembered how desperate she'd been back then, not wanting to lose Jaune. But after their wedding Mel had stopped her teasing and even any talks of it all together. When the girls had been born she knew Jaune was lost to her. She'd accepted it, not moved on but accepted. She wish she could say she tried to move on but pathetically she hadn't.
Jaune had become everything a girl could want in a man, she'd even caught team RWBY stealing glances at him back when they were still in Beacon. Come to think of it Weiss and Yang had been doing so much earlier. It was difficult to find someone after having been with Jaune, again people looked to her as a idol, someone beyond her station or if they'd heard the rumors a loose woman. Jaune would beat anyone who pursued her under the last pretense which really hadn't helped her move on.
But she'd achieved her dream, she'd become a huntress who saved others, with her maiden powers she saved more lives than any other huntress. She stopped Cinder Falls plans to bring Vale to its knees, she fought off several individuals who held aims for her life. Jaune dealing a particularly fatal blow to a insane faunus who'd been obsessed with him.
Hazel Rainart, Tyrian Callow and Arthur Watts, each dead at JNPR's hands, the facet turned off then and she dried her palms. She worked her best smile for the table, it wouldn't be so hard. Jasmine and Jade were Jaune's children and she loved them like her own and despite her conflicting emotions towards the twins they were honest with her, seeing her for her…
Gods cereal girl way to bring down the mood…
She sighed.
"Miltia could you reframe from shocking me like that?" through the reflection of the mirror Miltia shrugged her shoulders. Melanie was right behind her, Pyrrha sighed having a good inkling what this was about.
"I tried to leave but Jaune insisted, don't worry I've learned to sleep in hostile environments so no need to be quiet on my account." Miltia smirked.
"Oh don't worry about that like we care about you getting your beauty sleep and chill we don't care if you crash here, we got a guest room for a reason." Pyrrha nodded, beginning to make her way to the dining room before Melanie grabbed her shoulder and spoke.
"You feeling okay Nikos, cause you look like somebody killed your dog." She sighed, supposing they'd catch on quick, after all besides JNPR the Malachite twins had become her closet friend with RWBY growing distant.
"I… 'sigh' I miss him." They nodded not really asking who because of course they knew the answer, however to her surprise Melanie spoke up again.
"Well… shit I suppose I could ask now instead of later." Pyrrha turned to Melanie curious but froze when her fingers cupped her chin and she looked into the smuggest smile.
"You've been a really good girl haven't you Pyrrha?" She blinked.
"Helping out Jaune, taking out all the big bad mean fellas in Mistral and helping our man get big and strong."
"Of course, I've failed him once but I believe I've made it quite clear I do not intend to repeat the mistake." Melanie's smile grew wider then as she took a step forward and whispered a single question.
"Good answer, now, tell me cereal girl… do you remember our arrangement?" she licked her lips as the words came out like honey.
"Cause as much as we hate to say it, Jaune's starting to outpace us, and with his birthday coming up." Her fingers left her chin, index tracing down her neck and collar.
"Well I think It'd be the perfect time to give him a nice big present all wrapped up, how does a human flesh light sound to you?"
She swallowed but whether in anticipation or humiliation was anyone's guess.
