'Thinking'
Jaune decided to get a snack- No! A victory snack before heading back to his dorm. Never had he felt so... Happy? Nay, thrilled! Pyrrha's advice actually worked! He was blunt, honest, and she said 'yes'! Well, technically she said 'okay'...
Which was even better!
She never did accept his flower though... Ehh, oh well. He'll save it, maybe for tomorrow!
He grinned happily and slid a card through the vending machine to get some chips. Just something simple to snack on for the walk back to the dorm building.
The walk back to his team's room took a few minutes longer because of his detour. He actually saw Weiss step into her room just as he turned the corner. He was going to say something but she was already half way into her room. Probably best to just save it all for tomorrow night!
His smile grew. He got a date with Weiss! He never imagined it'd feel this good!
'Alright, alright. Cool it Jaune. Just walk into your team's room and act natural!" he told himself... However his grin simply refused to vanish.
He opened the door and the moment he stepped in Nora was immediately in his face. "Jaune! Are you okay? You want me to break her legs this time?!"
Jaune blinked. Despite her... Concern. She seemed more interested in that last question. "Uhm..." he could only mumble.
Ren and Pyrrha both looked over towards him from across the room.
"Wait a second." Nora quickly spoke then leaned closer to her leader, using her fingers to open his eye-lids. "Eyes slightly dilated."
He swatted her hand away just for her to grab it and place her two fingers on his wrist to check his pulse. "Pulse is... Rapid. But... Happy rapid." Her eyes narrowed. "Pancake rapid." she then pulled him further into the room and walked around him, closing the door in the process while looking at his pants.
"No dirt, meaning you didn't sit alone outside in depression." she surmised and her sight caught something strange in his pocket, abruptly reaching in to dig it out.
"He- hey, Nora!"
She pulled out the empty bag of chips he bought earlier. "Victory snack?!" she gasped as her eyes widened in realization.
Pyrrha and Ren looked at each other feeling a mix of confusion and concern.
Nora flung the empty bag away and pointed a finger at him.
"YOU GOT WEISS TO GO TO THE DANCE WITH YOU?!"
Weiss walked into her team's dorm room trying to be as inconspicuous as possible. Her other three team members were all inside, Ruby and Yang were playing a video game on the floor with Blake sitting on her top bunk reading.
"VICTORY"
Yang flung her arms up and cheered while Ruby pouted. "Awww, you always win!"
Her big sister grinned. "Well, that's my job." she said and rubbed the top of Ruby's head which was quickly swatted away to Yang's amusement. However she turned her attention towards their resident Ice Queen while still on the floor.
"'Ey Weiss, Jaune was lookin' for ya'." she said.
Weiss, who was walking right for her bed froze in the middle of the room. "I am aware." she growled through he teeth.
Yang chuckled. "That bad, huh? He looked pretty determined this time around."
Ruby tossed the controller to the side and stood up. "You know, he's really not that bad!" she'd announce to her, clenching both her fists in front of her. "Maybe you shou-"
"YOU GOT WEISS TO GO TO THE DANCE WITH YOU?!"
The voice was definitely Nora's who was screaming from just one room over.
Ruby froze mid-sentence with Weiss flinching and closing both her eyes as if waiting for a bomb to go off.
A few moments passed and when nothing happened she slowly opened them to look over at Yang and Ruby who seemed to be in shock.
"No... Way." Yang mumbled and slowly began to form a grin.
Ruby on the other hand nearly vanished and appeared in a flurry of rose petals giving her partner a big hug. "Ooooooh! I can't believe it! My best friend and my first friend are dating!" she shouted in glee.
Weiss seemed incredible uncomfortable from the sudden closeness. "R- Ruby let go!"
The young speedster complied but still kept a vice grip on both Weiss' shoulders and held her out at arms length. "This is amazing!" rose petals were literally fluttering out of her.
"Ruby! I am no-" Weiss wanted to explain herself, however was drowned out by Yang's fit of laughter.
"Hahaha!" she took a breath. "I mean, I've told him 'one day', I just never thought I'd be so soon!" she kept laughing.
Weiss really needed to say her piece here before things got out of control. "Look. I am n-"
Blake with her book now closed hopped down off her bunk. "I'm surprised too. You were always so dismissive of him. What made you finally crack?"
Weiss let out a low growl. "I'm trying to tell yo-"
"I always knew Vomit Boy had it in 'em!" Yang grinned. Then her eyes widened in realization. "Oh! That makes you Vomit Girl!" she pointed and laughed at Weiss some more.
Ruby turned and frowned at her older sister. "Y- Yang that's not f- funn- Pfft! Haha~" both sisters held their stomachs and laughed.
Weiss' face turned a bit red in a mix of embarrassment and anger. Her arms locked downwards with clenched fists at the ends of them. "QUIET!"
Blake took a step back from the outburst while Ruby and Yang stopped their laughter and turned towards the heiress.
Weiss looked a bit surprised and cleared her throat, collecting herself. "I am not 'dating' that buffoon!" she'd declare, finally having an opportunity to speak.
There was a pause until Ruby spoke up. "... But... You're going to the dance with him." she turned towards her sister. "Th- that's a date... Right?" she'd ask to confirm.
Yang nodded. "Mhm, pretty standard date material if ya' ask me."
Weiss huffed. "Well I'm not asking you." she'd tell her then continue walking towards her bed and sit down. "I am simply going to..." she paused, looking for the right word. "Humor him for tomorrow night, then finally shut him down once and for all!" she smacked the bottom of her right fist into her palm like a judge laying down a sentence.
Ruby and Yang gave each other nervous looks and Blake crossed her arms. "That... Doesn't sound right."
Weiss' eyes turned nervous and a light blush appeared across her cheeks. "W- w- what do you mean?!" she suddenly stood up, glaring at Blake. "That is definitely how it went!" She gestured towards the door. "He begged me to go to the dance with him and I-" she then placed her hand on her chest. "concocted the perfect plan to deal with such a persistent leech."
Her arms crossed with her head held high with a smug smile.
Yang groaned. "I think what Blake means is that you're being kind of mean to the guy." this got Weiss' attention and she looked down at her teammate. "He thinks this is all real, ya' know?"
Ruby nodded. "Y- yeah... I don't like this... It feels... Wrong."
Weiss' eyes narrowed in thought. 'I suppose explaining it like that does seem rather... Dishonorable..."
"Exactly." Blake nodded. "I just feel like someone's going to get... Really hurt here." by 'someone' she most certainly met 'Jaune'.
But how was that her problem?! He was the dunce that asked her out every other day! The buffoon that couldn't take 'no' for an answer! The moron that listens to her music just to get ahead with her! The dolt that said all those really, really nice things to her earlier.
Her blush returned.
The others seemed to continue speaking while she was thinking. What were they even saying at this point? She heard things like how unfair she was being. The words 'Ice Queen' were dropped, too. Probably by Yang.
Ruby stepped up and was going to place a hand on her shoulder. "Look, Weiss. I-"
"Alright!" Weiss shouted, making Ruby flinch back. "I messed up! Th- the dimwit came up to me and started saying all these... Things and it..." she looked away in some form of distress. "... It confused me, then I started thinking too much, then before I realized it I said 'Okay' to him!"
She took a deep breath and started to try and suppress some of the embarrassment.
There was another silence until Yang interrupted it with a snort. "That's more like it."
Weiss only let out a huff and turned away. What would Winter think if she saw her now?
Well, here's a second chapter. I'm just kind of going with the flow on this so I'm not making any promises on another or anything. If I feel like writing it, I will. If I don't well... Then I wont.
