A/N: And welcome back to the twelfth chapter of the story. Nothing major in this chapter, just some more Weiss and Mave fluffy goodness, but from the next chapter things will be back on track as they need to be, and action will commence.

So July is over, that's nice. just August and maybe half of september remains. Yay.

Anyway, I will try to get the next few chapters out more quickly so that there is more stuff to read.

Now, let's get back to the star couple of this fick and their first date.

Mave POV:

Yesterday was nothing more than an awkward waiting game after we finally reached our room, each of us trying to do our own thing.

And it was somewhat difficult.

Every time me or Weiss did something we would look at the clock, only to see that only a few minutes passed each time.

In the end, Weiss tried to write some sort of letter, but every five minutes she would look at the clock and then at me, returning to her letter with some red on her cheeks.

I was just laying on my bed and, reading one of the more 'personal' books that i was able get my hands on without Blake noticing. My only question was how in the actual hell was she able to read this stuff without showing any hint of 'hotness' because of them, since I was having a pretty hard time myself.(This is torture)

Also these books where very descriptive, leaving nothing to the imagination. Seriously, there was one part where the main character was pleasuring a woman with the hilt of his sword while groping her.

And by sword I don't mean his dick, since said woman was sucking it. I mean his actual sword, you know, the one usually made from steel, can cut things and has a handle and some sort of guard.

It was weird.

Stimulating, but weird.

And now I can only imagine using Wehrmacht as a discount dildo.

Why in all the holy hell's was I reading one of Blake's smut books? We may never fucking know.

Anyway, back on topic, I was reading, Weiss was trying to write a letter for two hours, Blake was reading just like me, being none the wiser about my book and Yang was out in the city with Ruby.

Time was slowly moving until knock was heard at the door.

Weiss went to open the door, and behind it stood Jaune

With a guitar

And a rose in his mouth

This was gonna be sad and funny at the same time.

And before we know it Jaune starts singing

''~Weiss Schneee, will you go out with mee?~''

At that moment, I just wanted to burst out laughing lke an idiot. I'll give credit to him for trying, but dust damn was it hilarious.

Weiss on the other hand just waited by the door for him to stop.

"Are you done?'

...

''Yes?''

''Good. No, I already have plans with someone else.''

Jaune just looked at me as I waved my arm, and he got the idea. He wasn't mad, just a bit sad.

'Sorry Jaune, I got the catch a bit earlier thatn you.'

''Ok, I got it''

''Bye.'' And she just closed the door in his face.

''*cough*Don't be so hard on him.''

''But he's annoying.''

''At least he had..the balls to ask you out.''

''Yeah right.''

''Anyway, I think I'll go to sleep'

''But it's only six in the afternoon.''

''Gotta be ready for tommorow. Also...Blake, thanks for the book.''

I tossed her the book, and she caught it without knowing what I talked about , only to realize later that It was her ninjas of love novel. She almost screeched out of pure embarrassment.

''Wanker!'' She said with a glare

''*laugh*. Good night to the both of you.''

And just like that, I just drifted to sleep before she could start scolding me, and just waited for the next morning.

Jaune POV:

'Well, at least I tried.' I tought. To be honest, I kinda knew I was gonna be rejected, but it was kinda sadder that she was already seing Mave.

I don't hate the guy, not at all. If anything, he was a great friend. He helped me with Cardin, which I had few issues with, and even helped me open up to my team about how I got here. I only told Pyrrha about it. She was shocked at first when she heard about my transcripts, but in the end she also helped me with training. After a week, I wasn't the weakest student anymore, but average.

I still wouldn't even dare approach Pyrrha or Mave in a combat situation. Pyrrha would put me down in a few seconds, and Mave would make sure I was part of the terrain, or chop my head of with his axe or sword.

He was brutal as hell and showed no mercy

But he was still a great friend, and I couldn't be mad at him for going with Weiss. I'm just happy that he is with her and not some crappy dude who would just use her because of her title, and she did seem to enjoy his company whenever we stood together in the cafeteria.

I entered my dorm, my team waiting for me.

''So how did it go fearless leader?''

''*Sigh*. She was already taken.'' I said in sad voice. Pyrrha came next to me and patted my shoulder.

''Oh Jaune don't worry. Like the saying goes, there's plenty of fish in the sea.''

''Yeah, but how am I gonna find someone just as amazing as her?''

Pyrrha winced a little. Jaune was more oblivious than she thought, but she supported her partner again.

''I'm sure you'll find someone, you just have to pay attention to the people around you. I'm sure there is someone who is interested.''

''You think so?''

''I'm sure of that''

''Thanks Pyrrha, you're the best.''

''Anytime Jaune.''

''So, so, who took Weiss from you leader? You want me to break his legs?''

"No Nora, I don't want that. And just so you know, It's Mave.''

''Oh.''

''But I'm not mad at him, he was just a bit faster than me, but that doesn't matter. I'll just go to sleep for now. Night.''

''Night Jaune.''

'I wonder who is Pyrrha talking about when she said that someone was interested in me.'

Mave POV, Next morning:

Te sun was shinning in our bedroom, the birds were flying in the sky, and my scroll was ringing. It was seven in the morning, and the first bullhead left at eight, so we had one hour to prepare before we left. I just made a bowl of cereal for each of us, and we both took one shower, separate of course, before we left, so we were nice and clean. Sadly, I had no outside clothing, so I had to wear my armor. Thankfully, she payed it no mind, and even made a note to help me buy some clothes. The rest of our team also wanted to come in the city, and we had no objections. We also took our weapons in case shit hit the fan, since we where huntsmen in the end. I took Wehrmacht since it's been a while since I last used it. Yang being herself, teased us to no end about our date on the entirety of the ride, leaving me and Weiss a blushing mess. After we got out of the bullhead, we all headed our own way, agreeing to meet in the center of the city after a few hours.

''Finally! For a moment I thought we wouldn't be able to go with our day because of her.''

''*Chuckle* yeah. So, where to first?''

''Right. There is this dust shop from our company that I want to visit, next I think we will go to the clothing store to get you something. Anything else?''

''Do you know any Caffe's we could go to afterwards?''

''Yes. I'd be glad to show you.'' she said, her slightly coloring

''*chuckle*Lead the way, my lady.'' And now her cheeks were almost burning.

''Y-Yes of course. Follow me.''

We spent most of our day going from shop to shop, buying dust, clothes or other necessities, while familiarizing myself with the city at the same time. The clothing store was pretty taxing for me, since I pretty much became a living mannequin. Also, the scars did not help at all. At last, I ended up buying a black hoodie that I asked the tailor to have my emblem on the back, dark grey jeans, a pair of black shoes and some sunglasses to have something to cover my face. I put those in a bag, put my armor back on, and we left

''Whew, finally done with all the shopping'' I said, tiredly

''It wasn't that bad.''

''*cough* Maybe because I carried almost everything we bought.'' And indeed, I had four large bags while she had only one small bag.

''Hey, you were the one who wanted to carry them.''

...

''Touche. *cough*Now can we go to a Caffe?''

''Sure, let's go.''

We go through the bustling streets of the city, attracting as many views as possible. In Weiss's case, it was because she was a Schnee, o she was pretty famous. In my case, it was because of the armor and my stature. Most asumed I was her bodyguard or something, so it was just a nice calm walk.

''We're here.''

We finally reached the Caffe. There was a wooden sign in front of it that read 'Brise de la montagne' It was a building that looked like a small cabin, that had round tables lined outside with small brown parasols covering each of them. We put our luggage near a table, I offered Weiss a seat and then I sat in front of her, taking of my helmet. A waiter soon came to our table and asked for our orders. Weiss had an espresso and a cinnamon roll, while I had a black coffee and a croissant.

''So..*cough*..How is life as an heir?'' I ask with curiosity. I assumed it was better than mine, but I wanted to know how.

''Oh, It is nice but somewhat stressing, since you kinda have to live to a lot of people's expectations.'' She had sullen look for a second, as if thinking about something.

''In general, it's a good life, I don't have to worry about not having something and the influence i got is helpful at times, for example the medicine I got you.

''Again, thanks for that.'' I said before taking a sip of my coffee. 'Yup. So far, her life was definitetly better than mine.'

Weiss starred at her cup before asking the next question

''S-So. H-How was your..Um...life. You know...Before all the...stuff.'' I look at her and let out a sigh. She quickly tries to repair the moment.

''I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked.''

''No problem. *cough* I asked about your's...So It's only fair.'' I lean back in my chair, take another sip of my coffee and a bite of my croissant, thinking about my normal childhood, before all the torture and breakdowns.

''It was..nice. I mainly played with other kids, trained,*cough*...Learned how to cook,...Um... learned blacksmithing,*chuckle* and father wasn't a psycho at that time. Nothing too major for a child in a village, but good enough.''

''It assume living around nature was quite an experience.'' I nod my head, a small smile on my face as I remember a nice moment as a kid.

''*chuckle* Once, I tried to grab a bee nest from a tall tree to get some honey. You can imagine...how that went. Thankfully, I only got stinged once or twice on my arms, Ohh...*chuckle* you should have seen me running.''

''*giggle* I can imagine it was quite hilarious from an outside view.''

''Yeah, it was.''

...

''My childhood wasn't all that great though''

''Huh.'' I turn my head to her

''It was pretty restricted. I always had a guard, my sister was occupied most of the time and father was always working, so I only made friends with the staff, and I am grateful for what they did, but still, I still felt somewhat lonely.'' She looked down with a sad smile.

I slowly placed my hand over hers and gave it a light squeeze. She was surprised, looking at my hand with wide eyes, but she didn't move it.

''Well, you aren't lonely now, are you?'' Don't ask me how I pulled that of, but I did. Maybe I'm a natural lady killer. She just started stumbling, unable to form coherent sentences, looking at my hand with a blush.

''*chuckle* I guess we both had something bad in our past. You had loneliness, and I had everything else.''

''Mave don't compare mine with your's. Mine is rainbows and sunshine compared to what you dealt with.''

''But i'm still alive and kicking.'' I say, flashing her a smile.

''*giggle* I guess you are.''

We both look at each other for a minute before we look around us. Banners, flags and decorations all over the streets.

''Ahhh, the Vytal Festival. I can't wait for it.''

''Vytal Festival?''

''Right. The Vytal Festival was created to serve as a celebration of peace between the kingdoms. Every two years, a kingdom would be chosen to host the festival, showing the best it has to offer for the rest of the people on Remnant. There is also a tournament that is held during the festival between teams from all the schools.''

''Wow. Are we gonna take part in it?''

''Of course we will. We will be representing Vale, so we have to do our best when the time comes.''

''Then I can't wait either.''

BUZZZ

''It's from me. I got a message.'' she took her scroll out to see what it was. It was a message from Ruby.

''Guys! There is a serious problem. Come to the dust shop near the entrance of the city! Hurry!''

''Oh no!'' She gasped

''What?" I say

''We have to go to the dust shop near the entrance. Ahh! It's twenty minutes on foot from here! Should we get a taxi?''

''No need. Grab everything and hold on tight!'' I say grabbing my sword.

''Ok! Wait Wha-

Before she could finish, I grabbed the bags and her bridal style and ran as fast as I can. Using a part of my aura on my legs, I was able to run faster, ghostly grimm like feet appearing over mine. I run around a corner, and I bumped into someone, leaving all three of us sprawled on the ground.''

'Shit! Have I hit a brick wall or what?!'

I look around, only to see a girl wearing a grey dress and with orange hair. She looked at me with a strange smile.

''Salutations''

''...'' 'have I hit her in the head?'

''Mave!''

''Oh shit! Sorry, let me help you up.''I grabbed the girl's hand and started pulli-'HOLY FUCK SHE IS HEAVY! What is it with this girl, she looks just as small as Ruby but weighs more than a fucking Urs.' I picked up Weiss just like before and apologized to the girl.

''Sorry miss but we need to be somewhere fast. May we meet in better circumstances.'' And I took of running again before I could hear her respond.

After a few minutes we reach the dust shop, the rest of the team already being there waiting for us in front of the shop. The windows were broken and yellow tape was put around the whole building. Clearly, it was a theft.

''How did this happen!?'' I ask Ruby after putting Weiss and the bags on the ground.

''I don't know! We just got here, but we'll find out!'' She says before approaching one of the officers.

''What happened?''

''Robbery. Second dust shop to be hit this week. This place is turning into a jungle.''

''That's terrible.'' mumbled Yang

''They left all the money again!'

''What.'' We all to the officers.

''Doesn't make a lick of sense. Who needs that much dust?''

''I don't know an army?''

''You think maybe the white fang?''

''I think we don't get payed enough.''

We all look at the shop again, and it's true, all the money caches are still intact, but the shelves are empty.

''Hmph! The Whit Fang. Just an bunch of demented criminals.''

''What do you mean with that?'' asked Blake, pissed of by Weiss's remark.

''Exactly what I said! They only steal and kill and for no reason at all!''

''The White Fang are no psychopaths, just misguided faunus.''

''Misguided?-

Oh no.

-They want to erase humans from the face of the world.''

''They are very misguided then!''

''Why are you baking them up Blake? The only thing the White Fang do is make life more miserable. The're crazy!''

''You stuck up brat!''

''Hey! I'm your teammate! Don't walk away from me!''

Oh fuck.

'What in Oblivion's name is going on?!'

A/N: And that wraps up this chapter. Didn't expect me to end it like that did you. Next chaper will probably be the end of volume one, and after that I will probably write a few chapters for my new story, then come back again for the second volume.

I hope you stick for the ride and hear from you guys again.

Bye.
