Hello guys, here is the first edition of Shorts of Watching 1, these are very short compared to the main chapters. Also these may be oneshots from other authors, trying to give shout outs as well. Mainly these are made to fill the many requests that might not be able to be in the main chapters such as JOJO! Seriously I have never been so happy to find so many Jojo fans! We are definitely men of supreme culture.
Anyways there's a lot of Malloubaude requests so I will do that, enjoy! I really think out of all the authors besides College Fool, he becomes the closest besides PaulXion to surpass or be even with Coeur Al Aran. Those four just get how to balance comedy, action, adventure, romance and angst well than any other authors in this fandom.
It would be number one is Coeur Al Aran, number two is College Fool, and tied for third is Malloubaude and PaulXion. They're like Kenchi618 and Darkbetrayer for me. I really hope that these Shorts will be alright for you guys, I'm also doing my real not react fanfic which will also deal with the RWBY verse. Maybe it will crossover with another medium... oh wait... I can't give any spoilers immediately.
Lastly I love the reaction towards Meet The Parents however I have not seen any suggestions. I need your suggestions, also I might place Code Geass and Shingeki no Kyojin in Shorts because it will be a very specific scene or a fanfic that I will have the cast react to.
"So what's next on the list?" Ruby asked as the Creator was panicking looking for the scenario he previewed.
He sighed. "Well, it seems I have to show something else since I haven't been able to find the next ones. Since it is in the realm of romance, I'll have to show a possible scenario in your timeline."
Weiss growled. "I do not want to see him being with me. It is impossible!"
The Creator chuckled. "Actually in most scenarios there are a lot of you being with Jaune. Hell in most times, he actually helps you gain control of the Schnee Dust Company and remove your father from power."
Her eyebrow raised questioningly. "I highly doubt that but he is the victim today."
The Creator then pointed to the black cat faunus who was surprised for a bit as she completely devoured another tuna. "Her, it's her turn. This one was made by Malloubaude. He is the successor to the one who creates magnificent stories of your world called Coeur Al Aran."
The screen started in Beacon's cafeteria as Team RWBY were talking to each other well except for Blake who was still stressed out after seeing Roman Torchwich and the White Fang work together.
Her teammates did not understand at all how important this was. 'No one understood Blake. No one understood the secrets of her past. No one understood just how to make her feel better. All that people care about is the Vytal Festival. Overall I want to sleep.'
Ruby yelled out. "I declare that from this day forward, our main priority is to stop mopey Blake from moping around and being stressed out."
Yang put her in a headlock. "I feel a bit bad that I could not see this before, the Breach must have changed you, huh? Well leave it to old Yang to give a Xiao Long experience."
Blake groaned from her partner's joke. "Seriously guys… I'm fine." She was unnerved from seeing herself in the state that she was actually currently in. Her answer did not reassure her team since Yang tightened her hold.
Weiss then ordered. "You have to stop with this White Fang! You are a single student, there are many people including Atlas who is actively involved to stop your former group mates. Honestly the amount of ego from you thinking you're the only one to stop them is sickening. Didn't it show in that one scenario it took all of us including other people to stop the Breach while you were incapacitated."
Blake's ears dropped down in shame, her train of thought actually led up to that point. "Sorry."
Ozpin chuckled. "Miss Belladonna, I think this is the perfect opportunity to learn about what your personal limits are. Also on how to rely on your teammates."
Out of nowhere that was when she smelled it. A scent which she had smelled many times before. One which was burned into both her nostrils and her brain. The smell of the food of the gods.
Tuna.
Not just any tuna. Northern Bluefin Tuna. Thunnus thynnus. An Atlesian delicacy. The single best thing to come out of that frozen continent. Blake would gladly hold true to that opinion even with Weiss present in the room.
Yang looked at Blake who was still in her headlock. "Really Blake? You're all for equality and faunus not being the stereotypes people talk about. Aren't you fulfilling them? What's next, you hate dogs."
Her silence made her grin in sadistic joy. "Oh, you're gonna love Zwei." She looked at Tai. "Hey old man can you mail Zwei to us."
Tai nodded. "Of course, I have to in order to save you from this Jaune."
In an instant her weariness had evaporated. Her head perked up. Underneath her concealing bow her ears did the same. Then she saw it. A veritable mountain of the ambrosia sitting on a plate making its way through the cafeteria. Blake's mouth began to salivate as she watched the boy holding the plate grow closer to the table she sat at.
Jaune Arc.
He was coming toward her. Not just to her table. To her. Dare she hold out hope? Could this be real? 'Normally I would expect me saying "Oh? You're approaching me? Instead of running away, you're coming right to me?" to which the response would be "I can't beat the shit out of you without getting closer." To which a standoff happens but it seems that didn't happen. So was he going to her to gift her the food of the gods, this couldn't have happened, she had not even spoke to him in an actual conversation.'
Blake objected weakly. "I'm not that mean to him, right? I don't really ignore him right?"
Nora agreed. "Yeah! I mean we've been in Beacon for this long and I haven't seen you with Fearless Leader yet even if you guys are seatmates in Professor Port's class."
Blake's mood worsened. 'First thing I'm doing is talking to him for real.'
Jaune set the plate down in front of her. "Hey, Blake," he greeted warmly. She could not remember that this was what his voice sounded like. Had they ever even spoken to one another? "I remember hearing you like tuna. So, this is for you."
The blonde boy flashed her a warm smile before he turned and walked away to go and sit with the rest of his team. He had not even waited for her to accept or decline the dish. As if he knew that she would accept it with no questions asked. Perhaps he wasn't as much of a fool that other people believed he was.
Team RW_Y ignored Pyrrha's protests, "That should have been me!" They immediately thought the reason for doing this was to flirt with their teammate. 'Wait did we tell him that Blake was a faunus?'
As Blake looked down at the plate of tuna which sat before her, she could not help but feel just a little bit suspicious. It was too good to be true. What was wrong with it? Was it laced with a laxative? Had it fallen on the floor? Was this all part of some elaborate prank orchestrated by Yang? Or maybe this was just her tired and paranoid mind playing tricks on her?
"Blake?" she heard her partner say. She wasn't sure if Yang had said anything before that moment. The sight of the tuna had drowned out all other sensations.
"Huh?" she quickly asked, her eyes finally averting from the tuna and onto Yang.
"Is something wrong?" Yang pointed over to the newly-arrived plate with the fork that was still in her hand. "You've been staring down at that food for like five minutes."
Surely the blonde girl was exaggerating. There was no way that could be right. She was sure that it had only been around nine seconds unless someone screamed out 'The World!'
Blake had tried to hide from her seat from the amused gazes of her teammates and fellow classmates. "Don't dig yourself any further! I swear I'm not like this!"
"No, I don't think anything's wrong." Blake sighed lightly, looking down at the food once more. "You don't think there's something wrong with it, do you?"
Yang waved off the girl's concerns. "Nah. Jaune wouldn't do that. Besides, you shouldn't look a gift fish in the mouth. It's not like free tuna just falls from the sky."
Sky fish was indeed a rare and legendary treat. While free tuna was by no means as special, it was still nothing to snub your nose at. It would have been great if she was given free tuna every day.
Yang chuckled. "So will you fall in love with me partner if I gave you free tuna every day?" She laughed when Blake gave a fiery glare and another fiery objection about stereotypes of cat faunus.
Ruby chimed in. "I think that would improve Blake's mood. Let's do it guys!"
Blake couldn't stop the shit eating grin from showing in her face as she murmured. "Thanks."
Nora then asked. "Yeah then we can have Jauney-Jaune make his delicious seafood based dishes. He'd love to make for you Blakey!"
Blake couldn't also stop the waterfall of drool from escaping her opened mouth. The Creator chuckled at their antics. "I'll help with cleaning that up."
"It is unusual though," Weiss chimed in.
"Who cares! Free tuna! Dig in, Blake." For the first time in her life, Yang was right. And so she decided to do just that. Blake picked up her fork and scooped up a large helping of the species of tuna known for its high fat content, extensive migration patterns, and who could also reach an age of twenty years or more.
It was bliss. Pure bliss.
The next day was no different when lunch time came around. Jaune set the plate in front of her. "This is for you." He smiled again before once more walking away to rejoin his team. Today it was Albacore. Thunnus alalunga. Long finned tuna.
Scooping up a forkful of the white fish, she put it in her mouth and her taste buds exploded with flavor. With a dry texture and a taste slightly resembling chicken, this species of tuna was known as the "chicken of the sea" for a reason. While not as rare as the Northern Bluefin Tuna, it was no less satisfying to the tongue.
"Okay, this is getting weird," Weiss said.
Looking up, Blake realized that all eyes were on her. "What?" she asked after swallowing.
"I think someone has a secret admirer," Yang cooed.
"Yeah, we all know about Sun," Ruby pointed out.
"Who? Who?" Both Blake from the screen and in the audience talked at the same time since they had forgotten about the monkey faunus who helped her.
Ruby asked. "You really forgot about the guy who helped you in the warehouse? You know blonde, has a cool staff, and likes to be half naked."
Blake was drawing a blank until a light bulb appeared on the top of her head. "Oh, him? His name's not Sun. Who would name their kid after that?"
Yang replied. "I have a feeling you'll only remember him after the two of you have a grand adventure where you will admit your feelings to one another only to simultaneously love another one like a girl."
Blake growled. "I'm not like that!"
Ozpin sighed. "Nope but Rooster Teeth is."
"No, not Sun. Don't you think it's weird that Jaune is suddenly giving Blake tuna out of the blue?"
Blake rolled her eyes at the accusation. "Come on, Yang. He's just being nice. We shouldn't go assuming things."
"He does have an unusual courtship process," Weiss countered. "If you'll recall he did try to serenade me outside of our room."
With a soft shake of her head, Blake resumed eating her free tuna. They could argue about such stupid ideas on their own. But this tuna wasn't going to eat itself.
The third day had not come as a surprise at all. She had been hoping, and was pleased to see Jaune approach her as he had the past two days. "Here ya go, Blake," Jaune said with that usual smile of his. And as usual, he walked off without saying another word or waiting for her to say one to him.
Today's dish was Tongol. Thunnus tonggol. Longtail tuna. Who knew Beacon offered such a wide variety of species?
Ozpin chuckled. "If we did Miss Belladonna. Would you fall in love with the cafeteria staff?" The others laughed at the cat's embarrassment. 'They don't understand the food of the gods.'
Blake certainly did not. How had she not known? This was criminal. As with the previous two days she could hardly keep her mouth from watering at the sight and smell of the dish. And like the previous day she wasted little time in digging in.
"Okay, seriously," Yang huffed as she looked at her partner chowing down on free fish. "What is going on here?"
Nora and Ren had to hold off a rabid Pyrrha from trying to eviscerate the black cat faunus as she was spouting. "Not fair!" Over and over again. The two best friends but not best best friends looked at the Creator begging to have a scenario wherein the champion is with their leader.
They couldn't keep her more… obsessive tendencies towards the blonde knight in check.
What was going on? Blake was finally being rewarded for all of her late nights and hard work. At least somebody around here appreciated all that she did. Somebody decided to thank her for everything she was doing to try and help combat terrorism and fight for equality.
It was just a shame that those people couldn't be her own teammates. Or the boy who claimed to like her as more than a friend. Sun never gave her free tuna.
"I'm telling you, this must be his strange idea of trying to earn Blake's attention," Weiss explained. "And with the way Blake is... ahem, consuming it , can you truly blame him?"
The sharply spoken word earned an ireful glare from the faunus girl. "Sfutuhp," she said through a mouthful of fish.
Weiss produced a handkerchief and delicately dabbed the surface of the table around her which had been graced with bits of tuna. "Please finish chewing your food before speaking."
She was just jealous. Weiss didn't have free tuna. For a girl who Jaune claimed to like, the heiress was distinctly lacking in any edible gifts from him. She was more special than her in that sense. Amber eyes glanced over to the table at which Jaune sat. Surely that wasn't what was going on. Was it?
Weiss chuckled. "Oh, Blake. You can have him if you want. I'm sure with this and saving you on the train. He has become your knight in shining armor."
Ruby complained. "As team leader, I ask you guys to stop this. Jaune is my- eep!" She stopped herself from going any further as Tai's aura had leaked out. 'This Jaune has to be taken care of before he infects my daughters. Who cares if Qrow calls him my legacy?! He can have anyone except them!'
By the time the second week had started, Blake had come to expect the daily gifts of tuna. Yellowfin. Bonito. Bigeye. Day after day Blake was continuously surprised by the variety in tuna which Beacon offered. It made sense though, the defenders of humanity could only operate on the finest foods. An army fought on its stomach, after all. And so a huntress must fight on hers as well.
"For you, Blake," Jaune said before walking off. Her stomach was already growling at the sight of her meal. Blake wasted no time in annihilating the contents of the plate in front of her.
Yang joked. "Hold on there partner. Better calm down it's been getting fishy the way you eat that fish. Just admit that the stereotypes were right."
Blake did not want to argue while Weiss complained. "There is no way one can fall for such a ploy."
Weiss recoiled from the sight of her feeding. Yang grinned as she watched her partner devour what was hers. Surprisingly it was Ruby who made a fuss this day. "Oh come on!" her leader said as she slammed her palms down onto the table's surface. "Why isn't he bringing me strawberries every day? I was his friend first!"
Ruby yelled out. "Yeah and cookies! Jaune bakes doesn't he?"
Pyrrha was about to yell her frustrations but Nora was able to successfully clamp her mouth with both hands while Ren used his martial arts to subdue her to the couch. She was just going to tell Ruby about what she thought. 'Who cares about my image?'
Blake looked up to regard her tiny teammate. She made sure to swallow this time before speaking. "So?"
Ruby looked as if she had just been physically struck. "So? SO?! Do he bonds of friendship mean nothing to you? How would you feel if... if... Yang just started making puns to Ren or something… like that? Wouldn't you feel betrayed?"
Blake regarded her own partner. She glanced at Ren before looking back to Ruby. "I think you are overreacting. Who'd want that burden?"
"Hey! It's a privilege to hear my funny puns!" Yang whined about the attack on her humor. Actually if she thought about it Jaune was the only one who managed to laugh at her jokes and give ones back… Oh god, she is starting to be like her partner and her sister.
"Look, the point is that Jaune is my second best friend, only after my very best BFF for life!" Ruby swung an arm around Weiss' shoulders to emphasize the point, but was quickly fought off by the heiress. She recovered quickly enough and continued. "Have you two even shared a single conversation together all year?"
Now that Blake thought about it, they hadn't. Ruby was right. Other than giving her plates of tuna, she and Jaune had not once interacted in their entire time at Beacon. Wait a minute… It was the perfect relationship.
"So in other words you're jealous of what we have," Blake surmised.
Blake in the audience grinned at her team leader. "Are you?"
Yang responded instead of her sputtering sister. "Oh? Look whose now accepting Jaune in her life." Blake's rebuttal was to look away blushing as she remembered again what the knight did for her against Adam and their conversation after the battle.
"Ooooohhhh~?" Yang chimed in. "And what do you have?" Nothing. Nothing at all. It was just tuna. They were just jealous of her.
At the end of the second week Blake realized she had a problem. While sitting in Professor Port's room waiting for class to begin, she saw Jaune walk in... and it made her happy to see him. The sight of his golden blonde hair and made her heart rate suddenly spike. Her tongue ran over her lips at the very sight of him. She wanted him...
Yang joked. "Look out! She's a man eater."
...to give her tuna.
Yang drew back her joke. "Nope, she's just a user instead."
Maybe her friends were right. Maybe tuna was just his way of trying to say that he liked her. As Weiss had said, he had a fairly unusual courtship process. If the was the case, if he did have those kinds of feelings for her... maybe he wasn't so bad at all. In fact, maybe he was perfect.
Unlike Adam, Jaune was not an obsessive psychopath who wanted to destroy humanity. Unlike Sun, Jaune was not super clingy toward her. Perhaps... perhaps he truly was her perfect boyfriend. Her perfect husband. Her perfect mate.
Pyrrha was able to fight off her two teammates by using her semblance. "There is no way he will fall for you here! He's mine! Mine and mine alone!"
Team RWBY backed up for a bit after seeing the champion's delirious statement since her obsessive smile started to leak out along with a lot of killer intent.
Ozpin sighed and looked to Glynda who agreed. "We need a student councilor who is good with teenage relationships, asap!"
Cinder looked at Emerald. "Make a note, seducing Jaune in front of Pyrrha may or may not be a good idea."
After all, imagine the benefits that could be had for human/faunus relations if the daughter of Menagerie's Chieftain dated a normal human. It would be so much more helpful than if she decided to date Sun. Now that she thought about it, dating Sun would be racist! Only dating the guy because he was faunus? Blake was not shallow. Nope. Not at all.
Anything Sun had, Jaune had as well. Sun had blonde hair, Jaune had blonde hair. Sun had blue eyes, Jaune had blue eyes. Sun did not give her tuna... Jaune did give her tuna. There was an obvious winner there. She made eye contact with him and gave him a smile to which she was given one of his warm smiles. It was time to catch her pray.
"Yes! That's right. You, Blake, you must fulfill your mission and capture this Jaune so that he can stay away from my daughters!" Tai yelled out with fervent passion which only received a punch to the back of the head which sent him sprawling to the floor.
Yang complained. "What the hell are you doing, old man?!"
Blake felt on top of the world. Was this what love felt like? If so, she finally understood what the authors of Ninjas of Love and Cold Heart Hot Love were trying to convey. Love was beautiful. Love could stop wars. It could end world hunger. It could bring faunus racism to a grinding halt. The White Fang had it wrong all along. They didn't need to fight. All they needed was love. Love was all they needed.
Blake took her usual seat with her teammates. With no sign of her new boyfriend yet, she decided to wait patiently for her daily dose of love tuna. To them it was an expression of love that mere words could not convey. She desired it. She craved it. She needed Jaune to show his affection for her.
Weiss sighed. "I don't know which is worse, you being obsessed with the White Fang or being like Pyrrha?"
Blake glared but could not speak out, in truth she was getting stronger and stronger feelings for the blonde knight.
But obviously there were a few jealous girls at the table here who were not as fortunate as she. Her own partner was one of them. "Okay, what's got you so happy today?" Yang asked.
Wearing a girlish grin that she had once read about in her favorite novels, Blake sighed happily. "Oh nothing. Just... waiting for my boyfriend to come."
Three pairs of eyes stared blankly at her. To no one's surprise it was Weiss who broke the silence with her ear-splitting Schnee shriek. Her Schreek? Blake shook her head.
"Quick! Ruby record this, my partner made a joke! We need Lover Boy stat!" Yang spoke out which caused Blake to blush in embarrassment since she also thought about that joke at the same time.
"Boyfriend!?" Weiss shouted. "You mean you actually gave in to Sun's constant pestering?"
Who? Who?
"Oh him? Why would I talk about him? Did he ever give me tuna? No. I meant Jaune."
Three jaws dropped to the floor. One quickly recovered though, and Yang pumped her fist into the air. "Yes! I knew it! You owe me five lien, Ruby."
Ruby sighed in defeat, her head hung low and eyes gazing down to the floor. She held out a hand toward Weiss. "Weiss, can I borrow five lien?" She paused in thought momentarily. "Wait, can I borrow ten lien?"
Rather than answer, and almost assuredly deny the request, Weiss just sputtered out sentence fragments. "But- but- That's- ...how? I mean- what? Why? That's... HIM!?"
Weiss nodded. "My thoughts exactly."
But Weiss' babbling was quickly muted at the sight of Blake's boyfriend. Like a knight riding into the cafeteria atop a scraggly blue two-legged horse, Jaune had arrived. And he carried his tuna with him.
Blake licked her lips with barely contained excitement, and had to swallow the saliva which had built up in her mouth at the sight of the boy. He was coming this way. He was about to show everyone at the table just how much he loved her. And she would smile back to him to return the favor. If only the dance had not taken place only weeks before. They would have been able to turn heads at the event together.
Her hand squeezed down on the flimsy cafeteria fork. Lungs sucked in air in anticipation for Jaune to say those magic words to her before setting the plate before her like a tribute to his queen. Then she would feast like one. He was almost here. He was... he was...
Sitting down at his own team's table. "Hey, Pyr, want some tuna?"
Pyrrha celebrated and even danced. "YES!" She then looked at Blake while giving some flexes. "He's mine! I told you so! He'd never be with you."
...he was a dirty good for nothing cheater! A cold lance of pain shot through her heart. Was this... was this... heartbreak? It felt like the time she had uncoupled the train car Adam stood on from the rest of the train and watched him drift away. The hurt. The pain. It was too much to bear.
"Blake?" Yang asked worriedly. "Are you okay? Do you feel sick?" Yes. Yes she did. Only her affliction was not of the body, but rather of the heart.
"Excuse me," Blake murmured as she stood from her table.
Jaune was there with the rest of his team happily chatting away. Seemingly without a care in the world. All the while, Pyrrha was taking delicate bites of what should have been her tuna. What did Pyrrha have that she didn't? Lien? Success? Fame? Legions of adoring fans? Sponsorship deals? A past not clouded by terrorism and regret? So what? That didn't make her better than her. It just made the faunus' journey all the more rewarding when she finally reached its end.
Steeling herself, Blake came up behind Jaune and tapped him on the shoulder. The boy turned around and smiled up at her. "Oh, hey, Blake. What's up?"
Blake could barely hold back tears as she spoke. "Jaune... I thought we had something special."
Ren commented. "This is not going to go well. I need to talk to Jaune about awareness." Pyrrha rolled her eyes. 'You're the last person to say anything about that, Mr. I have a sexy childhood friend that loves me but I love her and I don't want to admit any feelings for until she does but she's waiting for you to respond. Love lives are so complicated but me and Jaune are meant to be.'
The way he squinted at her told her that he was probably trying to play dumb. But she knew better. This boy alone had figured out the key to her heart. He was smarter than he let on. And if Pyrrha was gladly accepting his gift of free tuna, far more suave than he let on as well.
When he said nothing, Blake went on. "I thought the fish did the speaking for both of us... was I wrong, Jaune?"
"Oh, the tuna?" he asked. Blake did not know whether to be happy or upset that he suddenly remembered his romantic overtures toward her. "Well about a month ago Pyrrha and I came up with a new training regimen. It called for lots of tuna. Tons of protein in it for building muscle, and apparently they call it brain food too. So it'd help with my studies. So I ordered a month's worth of meals in advance... I didn't think I'd get sick of it so easily."
Sick. Of. Tuna? What madness was this? Was he the one who was feeling under the weather? Surely that was it. That was the only explanation to the nonsense he was talking.
"Be careful there, partner. You're approaching Pyrrha levels of logic with Lover Boy." Yang mentioned.
"So when that happened I thought to myself, hey, Blake likes tuna. I'll just give it to her and get something else for lunch. So I've been giving you the tuna for the past few weeks. But I figured today Pyrrha might want some."
So he admitted it. Betrayal. The horrible and utter betrayal. "I see," Blake whispered. "So you'll just give your delicious white goodness to any girl? How much have you given to Weiss, Jaune? How much!"
"Excuse me!?"
Blake was crushed. Completely crushed. She could not bear to be in the same room as him. "I... I have to go now." The girl stormed out of the cafeteria, leaving a group of confused teenagers in her wake.
"Let me guess, little kitty cat is devastated and complains over and over again." Qrow remarked which Winter chuckled.
"Since when did you have experience?"
Qrow smirked. "Of course, I know what all those barmaids felt when I left."
Winter's smirk was only more devious. "Maybe because you were too fast for them to feel it."
Qrow shattered, his cool persona had just died especially since his sister and his best friend along with his boss was laughing at his embarrassment.
Scratch scratch scratch.
Jaune pressed the pillow over his head. He knew he would not be able to fall asleep like this, but at least the noise was drowned out. Mostly. "Jauuuuuune..."
She'd been at it for only a few minutes, but those minutes seemed like hours. It wasn't the first time it had happened either. "Jauuuuuuuuuuuuuuune..."
The poor, pathetic, pitiful moaning of his name. Full of need. Sorrow. The scratching of fingernails on the wood only made it worse. It was painful to hear. He was not the only one who felt that way either.
"Aaargh!" Nora cried out, throwing her covers aside before standing up. "I can't take it anymore! Fearless leader, you have to take care of Blakey or I will!"
Stomping over to where Magnhild was stored, she grabbed the mighty hammer and held it upside down so that the handle thrust outward. Nora then moved over to their dorm's door, and a flood of light came in through when she pulled it open.
"Go away!" she said as she whacked Blake atop the head with Magnhild's handle. "Go! Shoo!"
Jaune could have sworn that he heard a hissing noise before the sound of boots on carpet thudded away. When Nora returned it was clear she was not in a good mood. None of them were when they were being prevented their sleep by a noisy cat faunus. That anger was turned on Jaune, who was on the receiving end of the hammer being tossed at him.
Nora's hands moved to rest on her hips. "This is your fault! You need to do something about her!"
Pyrrha whined. "No Nora! You were supposed to fight the bad guys not join them! I loved you!"
"What can I do?" he wondered. This whole thing was some kind of misunderstanding. He hadn't meant to condition a girl into liking him by giving her tuna every day. Who knew Pavlov was strong?
"I don't know! But you'd better get your butt out there right now and do something Because if I don't get any sleep tonight, I'm going to be a very angry Nora. And you wouldn't like me when I'm angry." Nora had grabbed her hammer again and was about to test another swing when he immediately got out of bed and went out of the door.
"I'll be back." He could have sworn he heard Pyrrha repeatedly state the word 'No' over and over again. Not being able to sleep was giving him daydreams.
Stepping out into the hall, he found Blake in her nightgown currently nursing a minor head wound she had suffered courtesy of Nora. Poor girl. No one but the Grimm deserved to be on the receiving end of that kind of force. "Hey, Blake..."
Amber eyes met his briefly before moving to the floor. "Jaune..."
It was now or never. He produced a small cylindrical can from behind his back, and slid his finger into the tiny can opener on its lid. "Would you... like some tuna?"
Her bow twitched, and those sorrowful eyes lit up at the sound of the can opening. "Tuna?"
Cinder growled. "This is purely ridiculous. Surely no one can make someone fall in love with just food."
"Yup." Jaune moved against the wall and slid down to sit on the floor. "I brought a spoon." Blake eagerly sat down next to him. She stared expectantly at the open container of canned fish. Clearly she was waiting for him to begin.
"Uh..." He dipped the plastic spoon in and took out a generous chunk of the white meat. "Say aaah?"
Blake did so willingly, and Jaune slid the spoon of tuna into her waiting mouth. She clamped her lips down on it happily, chewing with a satisfied grin on her face. When she swallowed Blake rubbed her face lovingly against his shoulder and even purred. She remained like that until Jaune slid an arm around her. 'Did I seriously just get a girlfriend because of tuna?'
With a soft sigh he shook his head and smiled. Jaune dipped the spoon back in and prepared to continue feeding his strange new girlfriend.
That's the end of the first short, I hope you like it. I'm still trying to finish the fourth chapter. This will be made to complete any requests that overflow and that I feel like cannot put into a full chapter. Most of these shorts will be light-hearted or comedy based or romantic.
Before that I have to announce that I will bring more people into the react room however I may also remove some people because I feel like the problem with react fics is that there will be too many people reacting that it would remove the flow of the entire chapter. So for certain scenarios some characters may leave but also come back. I think I'm the first to introduce such an idea, tell me if I'm wrong.
NigmaShady, signing out!
