Alright so… Hi there everyone how's it hangin. Yeah yeah yeah I know it's been a long time since I posted the first chapter for this. There are a couple reasons I never updated this till now, but those are in the past, and I won't get into it. But here we are I am still alive keeping it real updating fics every few months. But now I will let you guys read what you are really waiting for. Prepare yourselves for the Sighing Queen Blake, and Brotune!. See you at the bottom.
The elevator ride was quiet, and awkward. Neither of them said a word, while Jaune fidgeted a bit out of nervousness, Blake stood there stoic staring ahead at the door.
When the door finally dinged open after what felt like an eternity. Blake quickly shuffles out of the elevator looking towards the headmaster's desk as Jaune follows only to notice that the Headmaster wasn't there.
"And what can I do for you two Miss Belladonna, Mr. Arc?" Glynda Goodwitch asks from Ozpin's desk where she was currently standing with some paperwork in her hands.
Blake answers for the two of them "We were looking for the Headmaster."
Glynda adjusts her glasses "Well you will have to wait for now. The Headmaster had to go into vale earlier today for a meeting." she tells them "Though if it is very important I do suppose I could offer some assistance."
"No it can wait." Blake says shaking her head before turning to go back to the elevator.
But as she starts to walk Jaune interrupts "Uh actually Miss. Goodwitch I think we could actually use your help with something." he tells her causing Blake to turn, and look at him.
Grabbing him by the arm "What do you think your doing? I thought I told you to keep this quiet." she hisses at him quietly so Glynda wouldn't hear.
Jaune looks at her "Well I was just thinking that maybe she might have an idea why the Headmaster did that." he informed her.
Setting the paperwork down Glynda takes a seat in Ozpin's chair "Alright then why don't you tell me what is going on?" she asks them.
Begrudgingly Blake walks closer to the desk with Jaune "Well, uh Blake, and I woke up in Vale today with this." he says before looking in his pockets for the marriage certificate only to not find it before Blake produces it, and setting it on the desk for Glynda causing Jaune awkwardly say "Oh yeah... you had it."
Grabbing the paper Glynda inspects it reading it. Once she realizes what it is she raises an eyebrow before looking at the two of them before looking back to the paper. Setting it down she sighs pinching the bridge of her nose "Why am I not surprised you would do something like this Ozpin." she mutters to herself before gazing at the two of them.
"I can make a few guesses on why the headmaster would do this, but nothing for certain." She tells the two of them "But if you don't mind me saying this isn't... exactly horrible." she continues.
Frowning Blake responds "He wed the two of us while we were intoxicated." glancing at Jaune she continues "While I don't hate Jaune getting married to him isn't something I wanted so please if you can tell us how this isn't horrible I would like to hear it." she asks her.
Glancing at her Glynda then looks at Jaune "Mr. Arc do you think this is horrible?" she asks him.
Jaune starts to get a bit of nervous "Well... um... I don't think it's horrible from me... I mean I did get married to a pretty girl sure Blake might hurt me, but I don't think it's that bad..." he says before seeing Blake's glare at him "I MEAN I DON'T WANT TO FORCE BLAKE INTO THIS." he quickly says waving his hands in front of him "I just mean from the way I see it I'm pretty lucky." he mutters looking away from Blake.
Glynda then looks back at Blake "I am not saying you should not be angry at this Miss. Belladonna. I would be angry also if I was in your position, but I am saying you should try, and be optimistic about this." seeing Blake turn her gaze back to her she continues "Think about it this way. Most of the time Huntsmen, and Huntresses get married right after they graduate cause most of them have realized that there is a large chance they won't make it to an old age getting married at a young age is normally expected. Not this young, but still young." she informs Blake.
Blake though is still not that convinced "Your telling me to look on the bright side of things when I am now married to someone who I could count the number of conversations we had on one hand, and you." she says turning to look at Jaune "If you say that you're lucky again I WILL hurt you." she threatens him causing Jaune to step back in fear.
"If you don't mind me asking Miss Belladonna." Glynda says getting Blake's attention "What is it you want to accomplish in your life? Do you have a dream you wish to pursue in the future?" she asks already having a good idea from what she heard from Oobleck.
Blinking in surprise at her "There is too much corruption, and discrimination in the world I want to help change that." she answers causing Glynda to nod to herself, and Jaune to make a mental note of this.
"So you want equality for both Faunus, and humans correct?" Glynda asks causing Blake to nod "Well you have already started that with this marriage haven't you? A Faunus marrying a human." she says smiling a bit at Blake's shocked look "Come now Miss. Belladonna did you seriously think we wouldn't know that you were a Faunus? We do have background checks done on our students." She says taking a glance at Jaune when she says that causing him to sweat a bit.
Glynda then abruptly stands up grabbing the papers "Perhaps you two should take some time to discuss, and think about this some more. If you still wish to speak to the Headmaster about this I am sure he would be happy to tell you his reasons once he returns, but for now I must cut our discussion short I have a class I need to prepare for." She says waving the two of them out.
Blake sighs before walking towards the elevator "Uh thank you for your help Miss. Goodwitch." Jaune says before turning, jogging after her.
As they get into the elevator they hear Glynda say one final thing "Oh, and if both of you still wish to have a divorce come speak to me, and I will assist you with everything." before the elevator door closes, and they start to descend.
Now that the two of them are alone again Jaune speaks up "So that was helpful don't you think?" he asks Blake trying to start conversation with a somewhat forced smile.
Blake just sighs again face palming "Jaune just stay quiet before I hit you." she tells him annoyed at the day, and how its gone so far. Her thoughts were racing as she thinks about what Glynda had said. Yeah sure she had made some progress she supposed in some way "lead by example" she thought. But while Jaune wasn't a horrible person she barely knew the guy so she still wasn't happy.
Jaune on the other hand didn't know what to think about this either. On one hand his inner guy wanted to give himself a high five married to a really pretty girl, and he had apparently slept with her too. But then his consense spoke up telling him that it wasn't a good thing cause for one he just kept making Blake angry, and two Blake was also a bit scary. That, and of course while he wouldn't mind getting to know her, he still barely knew nothing about her.
All in all both of them were having mixed feelings on everything.
Once the elevator opened Blake immediately stepped out, and started walking towards the dorms.
Causing Jaune to run after her to catch up to her "So Blake were we headed?" he asked her taking what Glynda said into consideration, and had planned on talking about this with Blake.
Not bothering to look at him "I am going to my dorm to think about all of this, and wait till the headmaster returns." she says stressing the I when she said it.
"But don't you think we should, you know talk about this at least?" Jaune asks causing Blake to stop, and turn to him.
"What is there to talk about Jaune? We got drunk, slept with each other, got married, and now are waiting for Ozpin to get back so I can question him, and get the divorce papers ready." she tells him a bit to harshly, but she didn't care she was angry right now.
Jaune winces a bit at her harsh tone before speaking up "But don't you think we should talk about this a bit? I mean people will notice eventually even if don't tell anyone... Plus don't you want to try, and figure out why we even wanted to get married?" he questions.
Blake trying to keep her composer tries to stay calm, and respond to him before she is interrupted by a shout "Hey Blake, Jaune what's going on guys!" turning to were it came from the two of them turn to see Sun, and Neptune walking over towards the two of them.
With a smirk "You two going on a date or something?" Neptune teases the two of them unknowingly.
Before Blake can get any words out Jaune answers for the two of them "Oh uh no Neptune. Blake, and I were just got done talking to Miss. Goodwitch about something, and were heading back to the dorms." he says only a bit nervously.
Neptune just laughs "Haha yeah I figured nothing was up dude just I don't think I have ever seen just the two of you hanging out before." he says giving Jaune a fist bump before leaning in "Though if you had been I would say you are one lucky dude." he whispers not thinking Blake could hear him.
Now thinking nothing was going on between the two of them Sun smoothly says "Well since you two aren't doing anything how about going on a date with me." he says with a wink.
Blake the now sighing queen gazes over at Jaune, and Neptune who somehow have gotten into a conversation about X-ray and Vav in a matter of seconds before saying "Sorry Sun but I am busy right now." she tells him trying to get out of the conversation.
Sun deflates a bit before perking back up "Oh well what about when your free later hmm?" he asks a smile on his face.
Now mentally sighing at Sun's persistence she then comes up with a quick plan, gazing at Jaune, and Neptune who are still in their conversation she grabs Jaune's arm, and drags him over to her before hugging his arm, and with a smile on her face "Sorry Sun, but I don't know when I will be free next Jaune, and I have a lot of study dates planned already." she says hoping her acting skills pay off.
Blinking in surprise he looks between the two of them before saying "But I thought you two weren't going on a date?" he asks.
Blake smiles brightly "Oh but we aren't we are going on a study date" she says stressing study "Jaune needs some help with a few assignments, and offered to help like a loving girlfriend would." she says throwing in the girlfriend to really sell it.
Sun just stands there stammering for a moment before Neptune comes over, and throws a arm over his shoulder "Alright buddy I think it's time we leave the love birds alone." then with a smile on his face, and another fist bump to Jaune he walks a stunned Sun away give a wave as they walk away.
Once out of sight Blake stops the act, and lets go of Jaune's arm glancing up at him "I guess you were good for one thing." she says before she continues walking towards the dorms leaving a slightly flustered, and confused Jaune there. Who once realizing she is leaving him alone runs after her.
And done. I will be honest and say that, this chapter was probably one of the funnest chapters I have gotten to write in a long while. Special thanks to Blaiseingfire for helping me out with the chapter. And yeah that's about it if you have any questions you can review or send me a message I do try and respond to stuff. Also I guess I should say the fic A Drunken Knightshade Marriage has kinda helped also in getting me to update this fic so check it out if you want I only read the first chapter, but hey you want a different take on it there you go.
Blaisingfire: Be glad I'm not helping by co-writing, otherwise this would turn futa real quickly XD But yeah it was nice to see Don continue one of his fics and be able to help out, it was the least I can do to return the favor with him helping with Remnant's First Huntsmen. It was also nice to see him take 2 approaches I haven't seen in DM fics: the Arc vow not forcing them together and the couple wanting to find out why their drunk selves wanted marriage. Can't wait to help for more.
