What if Jaune found Weiss and asked her to the dance before she spoke to Neptune?

"Normal Speech"

"Flashback Speech"

'Thinking'

Jaune was walking through the halls holding a flower, ready to walk straight up to Weiss, tell how he truly feels, and ask her to the dance! Just like Pyrrha suggested!

"Tell her exactly what you said. No ridiculous schemes, no pick-up lines. Just... be honest."

He was nervous but tried to walk with confidence. 'Can't get it wrong if it's the truth... Right?' he tried to convince himself.

Now if only he could find her. When he knocked on RWBY's dorm room, Yang answered and said she went to the library to study. Apparently they were making too much noise for her to concentrate.

So he was on his way to the library! The quickest way was actually going around the building rather than walk through the halls. But on his way, as luck would have it he saw his white haired Snow Angel!

He noticed she was glancing around the area herself, maybe looking for something but kept walking in his direction. Did she even notice him? Well, she was about to!

"Hey Weiss!" Jaune grinned while approaching her with his right arm behind his back, hiding the flower.

The heiress' eyes widened and turned straight ahead to see the blemish on her Beacon life. She immediately groaned as her eyes grew sharp. "What is it Arc, I'm in the middle of something."

Her coldness was as inviting as ever...

Jaune started to rub the back of his head. "Oh.. U- uhm.. Well... You see..."

His confidence was draining. Under her glare he began to feel extremely nervous. Why could he ask her out on dates and sing a song but spewing his feelings was too much?

Weiss' arms were now crossed and she began tapping her foot, staring deadly at him. He continued to stutter so she rolled her eyes and they then widened as she noticed the blue-haired teen she's been looking for this whole time.

He was just a few yards away, talking to Sun. Though they were walking further and further from her each second.

She didn't have time to deal with this scraggly buffoon. Her mark was getting away!

"I don't have time for this." she spat out coldly and walked passed Jaune as he continued to try and piece his words together. Something he was failing at miserably.

After just a few steps she heard him call out, likely to ask her to the dance- Again. Then she would turn him down- Again. Then once it was over, she'd walk away and talk to Neptune about his plans for the dance! It'd be perfect! Nothing could get in the way.

"You're a great singer!"

Except apparently that.

Jaune sputtered out the first thing that popped into his head trying to get Weiss to stay. Which surprisingly... Maybe... Kind of worked.

She stopped, standing in place like a statue until finally turning around, looking confused. "What did you just say?"

"U- uhm.. Well..." he was stuttering again and coughed into his fist. "W- well... I've always thought you were a really good singer."

She squinted her eyes in confusion.

"Your uhm... Single, Mirror Mirror was... Good... I think."

Her eyes widened a bit and opened her mouth to say something but he talked before she could.

"I- I mean, It was good!" he reassured. "Just... The 'lonely' parts were kinda sad and uh... Yeah." he started scratching the back of his head again and silence engulfed the two of them. Jaune looking away towards the ground while Weiss simply stared at him.

The girl in question broke the silence. "... Where are you going with this?"

"W- well..." he mumbled, refusing to look at her. 'This is it!' he yelled internally and closed his eyes, taking a deep breath.

"I'm completely head-over-heels for you!" he'd nearly yell at her.

The girls eyes widened and mouth opened to speak but like last time, didn't get a chance to. The idiot kept going.

"Y- your cold..." he'd began with and her eyes narrowed once more. "But also incredible!" they softened a bit but more in confusion than anything else.

"And smart!"

He kept going.

"And graceful!"

And going...

"And talented!"

He really didn't know when to stop, did he?

"So will you please go to the dance with me?!" he asked and whipped his hand from around his back to reveal a flower which he presented to her.

Her eyes glanced down at the plant. Did he really think this was going to work? Throw some compliments at her along with a flower and she'll say 'yes'? What a moron. The suitors back in Atlas were 10 times better than him in every way yet they never even got a 'yes'!

"Okay." she answered.

She saw his eyes snap opened and look right at hers almost in shock. "W- what did you just say?"

Her eyes widened while her cheeks actually made a blush. Which due to her pale skin was detrimentally visible! 'What did I just say?!'

A moment passed and neither said anything, both in shock about what occurred. Weiss managed to recover first and clear her throat. "A- are you deaf?!" she'd accuse and quickly turn around to hide any embarrassment on her face. "I said 'okay'!"

She couldn't back out now! That would show indecisiveness, which was even worse according to her sister!

Jaune blinked and collected himself as well. "O- oh... Yeah, I uh... Right!" he grinned. 'I can't believe that worked!'

"So... I'll uh... See you tomorrow then? Is 7 okay?" he asked.

He was responded to with a simple nod, though she still didn't turn around.

"Uhm... Great! Er... See you then!" he'd say and walk passed her, heading back towards his dorm.

Weiss was in shock. 'What did I just do? Why did I say that?' she couldn't stop asking those two simple questions while she stared forward, watching Neptune, the guy she actually wanted to go with got further away.

It was so simple. Turn down the plebeian, being Jaune, who was after her money and fame then ask the man, being Neptune, to the dance! A monkey could do it! There were two steps, both easily attainable! Yet she failed miserably.

How could she agree to go out with that dolt?! He was a buffoon of the highest caliber! Plus with how often he asked her out, it was obvious he was only after her status and riches like the rest of them!

But... He did complement her singing. Though others have done that too!

… However they were cut throat sons of bushiness men. If there was one thing she knew about Jaune, it's that he wasn't all that clever. At least not in this field.

Then he started saying all those nice things...

Her cheeks started blushing once more and a groan escaped her lips. "UGH! W- what a simpleton! Spouting all that nonsense..."

'It just took me off guard, that's all!'

That had to be the reason. A short moment of weakness! It could happen to anyone! After all, she wasn't perfect just yet. This is nothing but a learning experience for the future.

Sh- she shall go to the dance with Arc, tell him to leave her alone and forever scrub her hands with him.

Yes, that would work. Make the weakness beneficial! Even that moron wouldn't actually keep trying if she turned him down after she went to the dance with him!

It's the perfect plan!

She released a low chuckle and her eyes grew a bit fierce. 'I'll show him not to mess with me!'

I might released a second chapter, might not. I just wanted to write this. Any other chapters will kind of have endings that lead to the possibility of another chapter, but could be seen as finished. So this story is just going to stay as 'completed'.
