Chapter 11: First bond.
"So, you two are going to bang tonight?" Coco stated bluntly. May's face turns to the very shade of red. Velvet's face turned horrified at what her partner and team leader had just spoken.
"Coco!"
"What? I say what I see, if you listen to her story, you'll see they're just getting ready to go down on each other tonight." Coco points to May, who is now a wreck of red.
"Coco!" Velvet is staring at Coco even more intently than before. The look is enough to keep Coco from saying anything worse than what she already says. Then she turns to apologize to May.
Three of them are standing in the center of town, where a farewell party has been organized for all those who helped save the town. Coco and Velvet attend the celebration. While May awaits for her date to arrive.
May is still shying from what Coco said.
"I'm just asking for any help I can get for this date." She muttered to herself.
"Well, if you're going to ask us, you've got terrible luck." Coco raises her finger to Velvet. "She's a complete virgin." Velvet's mouth gapes open like a fish. Coco then pointed her finger at herself. "And I only get around with ladies." Coco winked at her.
May's head slumped.
"However!" "Why do you need other opinions when you're already this cute?" Coco motions to her.
"Thank you so much, Coco, sigh... Currently, I'm in desperate need of confidence. I always dream something like this to happen, but I'm a nervous wreck right now." May make a motion to herself.
"Don't worry, if everything I've learned from knowing you guys over the last week. Is that you two will sail this date smoothly" Coco stated firmly.
To reassure May more, Velvet placed her hand on her shoulder.
"I only know Jaune a little, but for the past week that we've all been together, he's treated everyone with respect and kindness." I can assure you that he will not treat you differently if you fail him. He will understand and respect you."
May's lips curl slightly into a smile. "Yeah… I think he will."
"Yeah, he's good. You should see Velvet act when he comes to chat with our team. Velvet is eagerly looking at him. Whenever she believes he is not looking at her. Of course, he is unaware that she is doing so. But I do. I warned you that if you don't put him down your dune tonight. Then Velvet is going to put down her fang on his carrot tomorrow." Coco said teasingly.
Velvet could only smile. And fiercely elbowed her partner. Coco handles it like a champ until the third blow when she begins to collapse.
May is chuckling at the duo's antics. Their silliness made her calm down a bit.
Velvet looks at May, her cheeks rapidly reddening. "Coco is talking nonsense! Ignore her!"
"I know." May answer back with an easy smile.
Then her expression shifted. "I have a request for both of you."
May immediately kneel in front of both of them. "Please! Protect Jaune while he's in Vale!"
"Whao whao, take it easy there. You don't have to get down on your knees for us. We don't do that here." Coco and Velvet help her to her feet. "Even if you don't request." Velvet and I have already decided to take care of him. Either way."
"Really!?" May heart soar from that word.
"Yeah, he's going to be our junior anyway." It is our obligation to look after the next generation."
"Thank! Thank you very much!" May bowed her head, the weight of her worries lifted from her shoulders.
Coco smiles mischievously and leaps to hug May. "Aww, Your overly concerned about your boyfriend is so cute! She's such a sweetheart! If he doesn't show up. Would you like to go out with me instead?" Coco asked happily.
May blush a little. " No, I'm sorry, but I'll wait for him. Regardless of how long that is."
"Don't be shy. I see how much you adore him. So much so that I'm left with a question. Why don't you just go to Vale with him if you're that worried about him?"
"Our situation is complicated right now…" May's sigh.
"Well, if you don't tell. Then I will not pry." With an understanding look. She then turned to look around.
"All we have to do now is wait for your knight in shining armor," Coco claims she's leaning to the side to look at something.
"Speaking of, the devil himself" Coco gives a nod. May turn her head to see what she's on about. And saw Jaune walking toward them.
"Have fun!" Coco cheers and pushes her toward him.
Everything after that is like a dream. Straight out of a movie she saw when she was a kid.
They, like any other Vacuo child, do not listen to their parents when they advise them not to talk to foreigners. There will be an outsider visitor from time to time. Some are merchants, some are tourists, but they always bring something interesting. One time, a traveler came to rest near her neighborhood.
Her mother forbade her from going to see what they are up about. She is, after all, her mother's good daughter. She listens to her mother and waits in her room. Then sneak out of her room through the window. Go to the area. Many children, like her, are drawn by what the traveler does. They form a huddle of children, teenagers, and even adults. Sat around, waiting for them to shoot the projector at the building.
It's a film. She had never seen one before because her hometown lacks one. It showed a silly movie she remembered was a romantic comedy set in Vale.
She, like the other people around her, laughed at the story and finds it silly. She doesn't understand Vale culture at the time. You don't have the luxury to have a peaceful life when there is who always can murder you in a dark corner on the street of Vacuo. Or Grimm outside of the wall in the vast desert. They can murder you at any time. If she recalls well, that was the first and only time she saw something completely different from her people's way of life.
After that, there was always the thought that one day she, too, might have a life like that. But she dismisses it as a dream. It's too good to be true.
But that changed tonight. Jaune changes it so. He leads us both around the party, where there are free food and drink booths. We both like to do a little bit of everything. Play some of the games that others have challenged us to play. After a while of eating and walking, he drags me to the center of the party's dance floor.
"I don't know how to dance! Jaune." On the dance floor, May try not to be embarrassed. While Jaune is pulling her to the dance floor.
As they approached the dance floor, the song became more upbeat. May try to imitate the other couples who dance around them. May wiggle her arm and spin around once. At the very least, it causes Jaune to let out a chuckle. And look at her funnily.
"You're a terrible boyfriend." Face him with a deadpan expression. Just make him amuse more. "Then let me prove myself as a good boyfriend." He extends his hand. "If you will let me?"
May immediately take his hand, hoping for salvation on this death trap known as the dance floor. She was clumsy here and there at first. But, with his lead, they shift from slow and clumsy to faster and sharper to match the song.
Jaune has shown her that he knows his way around the dance floor. If she compares his dance skill to hers, it's as if she's a hunter in training and he's a seasoned huntsman who knows how to hunt on this battlefield. He leads her around like two birds dancing in the sky.
His smile makes her smile even bigger. His happiness now seems to radiate around him, as if he wears his emotions on his sleeve. She can see how happy he is right now. from his lip with a small smile to his dark blue eyes as if it were a deep but gentle sea pulling her down beneath the surface and giving her a new perspective on the sea she was willing to drown in. He looks at her as if she is his entire world right now. In his eyes, there was only her. make her feel like the luckiest woman in the world.
/-/
Opening their room door while kissing is more difficult than he anticipated. Not like in a film. It's difficult to open doors in real life When your own mind is focused on lips. Jaune moves his mouth away from the lip that is constantly kissing him. "I need to get the door open." "Can you please wait a second?"
"Please do it quickly." She told him. After quickly opening and closing the door behind them. She pounced on him once more. Their lips are in touch. Their tongues are exploring each other's mouths. Her tongue tastes like wine. She drinks before they come here. Their bodies became hotter and hotter.
They walk and kiss their way to their bed. He undresses while doing so.
She looks at him like a piece of eye candy. Grab the hem and pull it over his head, exposing his entire upper half. His firm chest all the way down to his abs connect with the V trail Shape that leads to her prize.
"I assume you like it?" Her trance was broken by his voice, and she realized her hand was on his body, roaming around his chest and abs. One of them attempts to go lower. She's not going to back down right now. So she told him the facts. "Thank you very much." Okay, maybe she drinks too much.
He only chuckles and leans in to kiss her from the lip to the chin and down to her throat. Lower, lower, lower. Tuck her scurf away gently and throw it on the ground. The Hood zip slides down, revealing the black tank top she's wearing. Now grab her hem with his hand. Jaune tries to pull it up, but.
"Wait!" Her word was blurted out. Stop him completely.
"I'm sorry, did I do something wrong?" He appears to be concerned and has apologized. "I'm very sorry." And sound like he hated himself for somehow messing up.
"No! I… First, I have something to tell you. You know, before we... "Do it." She did her best to explain why she was stopping him. "I have something to confess to you first…"
He breathed a sigh of relief when he realized he had done nothing to offend her. "Well, I'm waiting."
She is still close to him and relies on him for support and strength. It's almost as if he can sense her emotions shifting. He hugs her. It warms comforting.
"Remember when we first met?"
Jaune smile. his hand comes up to gently stroke her head. "I remember a shy girl asking me if she can sit with me. She looks so calm. But when I think back you are very shy aren't you? You even introduce yourself too much at a time."
"Said by the guy that can't even talk to a girl."
"Hey! That not fair." Jaune tries to defend himself but can't come up with anything. "But in the end, it works right? With a little bump here and there."
"It's not entirely true."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, It's the first time you see me. But I am not."
"I'm not here to see my grandmother. In fact, she died before I was born."
Jaune isn't saying anything right now because he's trying to follow along with what she's saying and wants to understand more.
"My real goal for coming here is..." Feel her throat feel dry. now with new entry reason from other time. her heart beating faster trying to tell him what was on her mind this whole time.
"Is?"
She is looking him in the eyes. "You."
His muscles tensed. Even with his confused expression, she can sense it. She feared that his mind must be racing right now.
She hugged him even tighter to assure him that she would not harm him. She continued until he calmed down.
"I've come to Vale to look for one person." Who is to be held responsible for two dust mine raids that have been going on for a month"
"Why don't you just arrest me?"
"Hmm… Schnee accuses you of being a thief for raiding their dust mine. People label you as insane for daring to oppose those in power. I came here expecting to meet just another criminal who abuses by using their semblance." She reaches up and gently touches his cheek. "Not a boy who goes out of his way to help others." A little smile can see on May's face.
"I see you for the first time through the scope of my sniper rifle."
"I see a stalker here..."
"Aiming at your head." That quickly silenced him.
"I was waiting for the right moment to take the shot for days and days, and while I was waiting, I noticed other people around you." I didn't know anything about those people until I noticed the word S.D.C on their bodies. I saw you walking around to help them. I saw you cooking for them. I saw you chatting with them. With your aura, heal them. Then everything begins to fall into place."
"What you're doing in those mines isn't for money or dust, but to help people who need it the most." You use your gift to save those who are trapped in the darkness and pull them out into the light."
"You give them hope. You give them a chance to live. To be free."
Lean in and kiss him deeply before pulling back.
"Am I that awesome?" Jaune playfully asks her.
That made her brow furrow slightly. "Your awesomeness isn't going to help you, but my bullet will." Perhaps someone will thank me for that stray bullet that always knocks out the SDC guard who is aiming their gun at you."
"Wait, that was you?"
May nod her head. "Yes, Who did you expect to help you? Your guardian angel?"
"I used to think I was lucky when I saw them get shot down. That means you also save me when I'm about to be beaten by the aura guard?"
"Yes."
"That means you've been assisting me since the third dust mine." And what about the fourth?"
She nodded in response to his questioning.
"Wow... perhaps you're my guardian angel." He's now leaning in and kissing her. "My goodness gracious angel."
"Okay stop that a little too much." She laughs happily as Jaune lavishes her with his affection.
Then he stops and reflects on his journey. Jaune speaks with a little sad tone in his voice that he trying to hide. "That means you see what is those white fang doing too?"
May sadly smile. "It isn't your fault, Jaune." Nobody knows what they will do. "Not even I."
"But I trust them and let down my guard!"
"It's still not your fault that they do such terrible things." She is now attempting to comfort him even more. She knows that this is supposed to be their special night, but it is also their last night together, and she doesn't want the problem that has been lingering in his heart to destroy the honest man she sees fighting against the world.
"If you can't let go." Jaune, accept it. Accept that you cannot help them. Accept that you lack strength.
"How does that help?"
"For you to stop putting pressure on yourself." In the past, strong men and women had attempted to save everyone. Despite this, they fail. Jaune, you are not the first person to have a kind heart. You are not the world's savior. Our forefathers tried long before we were born. To aide everyone in the Remnant, They share your vision."
"What went wrong...?"
"They succumbed to the pressure. They crumble beneath it. Finally, they are unable to save anyone."
"What should I do now?" Right now, he appears to be completely lost. Like a ship lost in a vast ocean not knowing where to go.
"Do you want to help everyone?" Jaune gives a nod. "Then help those you can first. like the miner, from the Schnee dust mine. Like the people in the village, you save from the white fang, even if you can't save everyone, try your hardest to save those you can first. It's not like you have magical powers to grant your wishes. You can't just stop Schnee from using people as slaves or end world hunger and make all Grimm disappear. Begin with small steps. like saving the people around you."
Jaune smiled at every word she said. It felt comfortable to him. It's like a warm blanket wrapped around you on a cold night. Sadly.
Jaune takes her hand in his. "Although, I can't even keep you from going to Vacuo."
She sighs and shakes her head. "I go to Vacuo in the best interests of both of us." If they find us together, my mother will undoubtedly send her best assassin to kill you and bring me back."
"How can I save everyone if I can't even save you?" The thought made Jaune grimace.
May respond with a smile. "But you've already saved me"
"Huh?"
"Born into the Zedong clan. I've spent my entire life growing and training only to fight and kill. I only needed to be strong enough to take over as clan leader. That's what my mother told me I was. Only obey my mother's orders. I believe I am doing the right thing. But why do I feel so lost, as if I'm walking through a vast desert, lost in the sand on the coldest night?"
May fixed her gaze on him. "Before I met you. Seeing you save those people and fight for them gives me a feeling I don't think I've ever had before. You inspire me. To want to help others. To be better. I no longer be lost. You are the light that guides me through the darkness. Shine brighter than others. "You saved my life, Jaune arc."
Even though she can't see Jaune's cheek turning red, she can still feel the heat. Is this how you feel when a girl confesses to you?
"Ahem." Attempting to calm down. "Tonight has worn us out more than I expected." Jaune kisses her on the cheek. "I think we should go to bed now." We have to get up in the morning." Jaune takes her hand in his and attempts to lead her to their bed. But she isn't even moving.
"Are you just going to sleep?" She inquires.
"Yes? What else do you think we're doing-."
Jaune was swept up into her arm. Walk over to the bed and throw him down. Then leap up and land on top of him. He took the air out of his lungs.
"Oof!" Where did all that power come from? Her hand clasps both of his hands. and locks them into place. He is unable to move. She is much smaller than I am. It's possible her muscles are stronger than he thought, or she's using her aura!
"Your aura control is brilliant. Jaune. However, you only have it for a month. I've been training it my entire life!" With one arm ripped, his boxer is all that remains on his lower half.
"Are you not going to resist?" She gives a mischievous smirk.
"Right now, I'm both confused and hot."
She giggled seductively. "I imagine I should use a different method for a dense one like you." She then grabs the hem of her tank top and yanks it off. Allow him to view her lovely body.
"Are you still planning on sleeping?"
He takes a deep breath as he considers the two massive reasons in front of him.
"Not anymore." After he finished that sentence. You could say he no longer thinks with his upper head.
It all starts with a clumsy mistake and a little bravery here and there.
The two lovers then shared a passionate night. They let themselves drown in lust, hoping it would make them forget everything except the person in front of them. On the couch. On the table. Alternatively, pin it to the wall. They try to make the most of the time they have together.
And, like their love for each other, it results in a collision. Between his and her souls. Collide and split collide and split Again and again.
Until time runs out. Her mouth was gasping for air, but her mind had already mushed. He keeps going until late. The final thrust pushed deep inside her. He unconsciously emits an aura that envelops both of them. As he fills her to the brim on the inside. Their auras entwine, forming a new bond that will bind them forever.
/-/
After leaving their hotel, he walks toward the train station with her by his side, hugging his arm. With comforting silence. Enjoy the snow beside their path.
"I'm sure I'll miss Vale..." She stated.
"But what about me?"
"I will not fall into that trap, Jaune," she replied with little fuming.
"Have you ever been to Vale?"
"No, honestly, this is the first time I've ever come out of Vacuo."
"Then our date will be there the next time," Jaune joked.
"Hm! I hope you live long enough to fulfill that promise!"
"Hey, an arc never-."
"Gone back on his word. Yes, Jaune, I know."
That makes Jaune happy. "At least you know I'll show you what Vale has to offer the next time."
She returns the smile. "I'd like to show you what Vacuo looks like as well." You should have seen what it's like "The night in Vacuo."
Suddenly, a vision appears in Jaune's mind. It depicts a night in the land where every direction you look at appears to be vast sand to the horizon.
"What…?" Jaune spoke up. He's still trying to make sense of what he's seeing right now.
"Oh, the night back home isn't the same as it is here." When night falls and everything goes dark, only a few things remain visible. "Like a star in the sky."
When Jaune looks up, he sees a vast star too numerous to count in the sky shining brighter than he has ever been seen at home or anywhere else. "Wow."
"Yeah, wow is a good word to describe it." However, there are times when a shooting star appears! You should have seen it; it's breathtaking."
True to her word, it is stunning. Jaune arc observes the rain of shooting stars flying by. Every second pass, Amazes himself with an image he has never seen before.
"When I was younger, I used to sit and watch it with my mother."
When he looks to his right, he notices a beautiful woman looking up at the sky as well.
"I only wish you could see it one day." Then the vision was then cut off. He was now left with a question.
What happened just now?
"Are you paying attention?" She uses her hand to turn his head to face her. "You seem to be sidetracked back there."
"Um, no, I'm just deep in thought." you know, about the future." She appears to accept his response. That was a close call. And what's the deal with that back there? It was an illusion? but it felt very real. He looked familiar as if he'd been there before. He shook his head. I'll think about it later. She is the most important right now.
"Being distracted like this invites a bullet to the head, Jaune."
"I'm glad you stopped aiming your gun at me then."
"Who said I had to stop aiming at you? I just changed the target. Now I'm after your heart." Her mouth forms a smirk, which she thinks is cool. But it isn't. For him, at least.
"What's that line?" "When did my girlfriend turn into a one-liner?" Jaune burst out laughing.
"Said the guy who whispers one-liners into my ear every day." Hmm." She said this as her cheeks flushed red.
"But did it matter if every word came from my heart?"
They exchange glances and laugh together.
Until they arrive at the train station, they can talk about anything.
They haven't been there long when they notice a familiar rabbit ear stand out among the crowd. As they approach them. He can now see the backs of Velvet and Coco.
"How are you, Velvet-" When Velvet turns her head toward them, a dark circle around both of her eyes indicates that she may have slept briefly or not at all.
"Hey…" Velvet responds with a smile that does not reach her eyes.
"Um… Hey Coco how are you doing." Lost against the odds he turns to "Um... Coco?" "How are things going?" Against all odds, he turns to Coco for support in the conversation.
Coco lowers her glass for him to notice a dark circle around both of her eyes.
"For a shy girl, you quit a screamer you know that?" Coco states casually. Make Jaune and May be embarrassing together. Coco reaches out to take May's hand. "Girl meeting right now." And drag her a few meters away from him. He can use aura to enchant his hearing, but this time he will give them privacy.
And he has two new arms resting on his shoulder. A red hairy boy is on his left. "Congratulations on being the first person to force a blind man to open his eyes all night." Of course, he has dark circles under both of his eyes.
And his massive senior on his right. Only make a noise "hmm…"
"Did you happen to hear that last night?" Jaune inquires, wincing slightly.
"I believe the entire hotel can hear her yell your name, Jaune." Oh, why!
"Honestly, Jaune, you make us men both annoyed and proud."
Jaune can only sigh in exhaustion.
"It's okay. don't be like that. We should now wait for the girl to finish their meeting."
"No way!" Coco yells. "That is larger than my arm!" You've got to be kidding me! It can't be that big! It's bullshit!" Then she realizes she is shouting then lowers her voice.
This time, both Fox and Yatsu turn to face him. "You make us proud." With a tear in the corner of their eyes.
Sigh, such is life, with so many problems he doesn't understand. He is, however, willing to learn. Jaune clenches his fist. 'To become stronger.' Look up to see May laughing and joking with Coco and Velvet. 'To protect her and others. He's doing everything he can.
Jaune reassures himself by whispering.
"Whatever it takes,"
About the Story: That concludes the Road to Vale arc; the next stop is Vale!
At first, I considered changing the adult scene to rate M so that I could write it in greater detail. But then I realized I had no idea how to write smut. So, the story remains rated T. This chapter talks a lot, but don't worry, we'll get back to fighting in the next chapter.
About pairing: I'll say it now to not waste the time of Armed knight shippers and others who enjoy vanilla romance. In this story, I don't think Jaune will end up with just one girl. I'm not sure who he'll pair with because, as you know, I write when I'm bored. So the pair will follow where my mood takes me.
An: After ten chapters of writing this story, my boss assigned me a new project. And end up drowning in the mountains of paperwork that come with it. That is the explanation. I can't say I didn't ask for it by writing this story when I was bored.
A door opens, and one person enters. Her yellow hair is long and beautiful, indicating that she has taken good care of it. Her face appears young and full of life, with fire in her eyes, as if she is willing to go through anything to get what she wants. Approach the bartender. She pulls up her scroll, the screen displays a photo of a woman with long black hair.
"Can you tell me where I can find this woman?"
