Alright hey everyone I'm back again pretty well on time too. Hasn't even been a full month since the last update. So the last chapter got some pretty nice reviews a couple of them I do need to make comment of but I will save that for the end. See ya at the bottom bois, and girls. Wait do we have any girls here? Eh a thought that needs more attention later.
Jaune caught up to Blake and started walking next to her, "So… Do you think I could get a bit of help with my homework on the Faunus wars?" he jokes trying to lighten the mood.
Blake glanced back, shaking her head at his joke. "I suppose I could check it over, might help get my mind off of all of this," she said.
Smiling at his success of calming Blake down a bit, he started walking with a bit more pep in his step, unconsciously getting closer to Blake as he did. They looked like an actual couple to others, but neither of them noticed.
Once they arrived at their dorms, Blake walked into her team's room, giving Jaune one last glance over her shoulder before going inside. Now left alone in the hallway, Jaune went into team JNPR's room.
Walking in, he saw that only Nora was there sitting on her bed. She looked up from her scroll and smiled. "Heya Bossman!" she cheered upon seeing Jaune. "Did you have fun last night? You never came back."
"Haha yeah it was great, best one I have had in a while." he forced out after an awkward chuckle, trying not to come off like he forgot what happened.
"That's great!" she said, shuffling around in her spot, showing her excitement, before loudly gasping after seeing the time on her scroll. "I gotta run Jaune, Pyrrha is waiting for me in the Library," she informed him as she ran out the door.
After watching her run out, Jaune started to make his way to his desk before he heard the door slam open, with Nora running back inside. "I forgot my homework!" she shouted before running back out and slamming the door again.
After waiting a few seconds to see if she was gonna come back again, Jaune looked around his desk. He grabbed his homework before leaving the dorm as well.
He knocked on team RWBY's door. After a few moments, Blake opened the door and stared at him "Do you need something?" she asked with a blank expression.
With a smile, Jaune held up his notebook. "You said you would help me with my paper on the Faunus wars, remember?" He reminded her, causing her to blink in surprise before stepping out of the way, inviting him in.
"Where is everyone else at?" he asked as he stepped in, noticing that it was just the two of them in the room as Blake closed the door behind them.
"Weiss and Ruby just left to go to the Library. Apparently, they are having a study group with Nora and Pyrrha for Port's test in a few days. Yang ran off this morning to go to Vale." Blake replied before walking over to her desk and grabbing out a few things.
"Let me see what you have done so far." Jaune held out the paper and Blake took it. "You can sit at Yang's desk," she nodded her head to the side to show him which it was as she started reading it over.
Jaune sat down and took another look around the room, taking notice of the bunk beds again. It reminded him of when Nora saw them for the first time, and how much convincing it took from Ren and himself to get Nora to stop putting ones in their room. Smiling at the memory, a thought came to his mind. "So, did Ruby or Weiss ask you about last night?" he asked causing her to go stiff for a moment.
"I told them I lost track of time and got a room at a hotel after the Bullheads stopped making trips for the night," she explained without taking her eyes from the paper.
Jaune nodded at the response and watched Blake go over the paper, twiddling his thumbs as he waited. He looked at the ring on his hand. He took it off to examine it. After a few moments, his opened wide in recognition.
He stood up with a gasp, drawing Blake's attention before he ran over and took her hand and examined her ring..
"W-what are you doing?" Blake asked in confusion, stammering a bit at Jaune's sudden boldness.
As she pulled her hand back, he took another look at his ring. "I think these are my grandparent's rings," he said, holding it up to the light to get a better look it. "But I don't know why we have them."
Blake looked at him in confusion before slipping her ring off. Looking it over in her hand, she didn't notice anything in particular or out of the ordinary. As far as she could tell, the only thing of notice was the yellow gems surrounding the singular large diamond. Besides that, it seemed to be a simple gold ring. But when she looked on the inside, she finally noticed the Arc symbol engraved to the inside.
"This one has your symbol on the inside." she said as she handed it to Jaune so he can see it.
"So, did we come back to Beacon last night? Cause I kept these locked up under my bed… So maybe someone does know what happened last night," he exclaimed, believing to be one step closer to solving the big mystery.
Blake wanted to say, "What's the point of figuring it out when it will be behind us soon?" but she refrained, only giving a small grunt that she heard him.
Though in another moment of surprise for her, she's pulled away from the paper once more as Jaune took her hand in his again. Without saying anything, Jaune slipped the ring back onto her finger with a happy smile on his face, not realizing the implications he gave Blake.
Blake stared at him, blushing a little bit before holding her hand out towards him. "If the rings are that important to you, why don't you just hold onto them?" she asks turning her head away from him.
Jaune let out a small chuckle as he sat back down at Yang's desk. "Because it's your ring right now. I gave it to you so, I just feel like you should hold on to it." he said, the smile still present on his face.
Blake sat there staring at her desk, unable to look up at Jaune. She was quiet for several long moments. "I'm sorry Jaune." she quietly said, still unable to look up at him..
Jaune's smile shrunk a bit but didn't lose any of its warmth. "Well, apology accepted I guess," he told her, causing Blake to suddenly raise her head at him, showing that her eyes were starting to water slightly.
"That's it?" she exclaimed, her voice louder than before. "I have been horrible to you all day, and you just accepted my apology! Just like that?!" she stood up in the middle of all of her mini rant.
Jaune gave an awkward chuckle while rubbing the back of his neck. "Yeah, well, I get why you we're so mad. I grew up with seven sisters, I know how important a girl's wedding day is, and I kinda helped take that away from you. Plus, I think anyone would be if they were in your position so I can't really blame you for anything." Blake now had tears rolling down her face at and sat back down ."Ah nuts" Jaune said jumped up and kneeled down next to her. "I'm sorry Blake, I didn't mean to make you cry."
"No, it's not your fault," Blake wiped away the tears, "it's just... I actually think I'm the one who got lucky here." she placed her hand on his and gripped it tight..
"Hey, you can do much better than me, I am the one who got lucky here." he argued back playfully trying to help cheer her up.
The comment actually got a chuckle out of Blake. "Then why don't we just agree to disagree?" she proposed after finally drying her cheeks.
Jaune matched her smile. "I can work with that." he replied happily as he stood up and went back to his seat. "Now let's stop making each other feel bad."
With a smile on her face, Blake looked at Jaune's paper again before looking back at him. "Well from what I read so, far it could use some work, but we can make it work." her words did not only reflect on the paper but her relationship with him.
Aaaaaaannnnndddddd scene. So I think that went well. A good chapter for me at least. Now onto the reviews I wanted to address. I won't point one in particular out but you guys know who you are. The reviews that went a little like "Blake is such a bitch if I was Jaune I wouldn't stand for it" Well I got news for you guys: You aren't Jaune, and Jaune isn't your self insert. He is his own character so treat him like so. Yeah in some instances he could stand up for Blake but with the way I took the chapter I said nah bro to that, and to the ones who actually gave good reviews, or the ones that made me laugh "Geez, Blake. Talk about being a jerk!". Also I would like to mention I don't hate guest reviews, but if you're just going to use them to just rant incoherently like 'this fic sucks and so do you blah blah blah',' I'm gonna delete it cause it's it's just ridiculous.
Alright, so sorry about that rant I just really needed to get it out there. Both Blaiseing, and I agreed that the two guest reviews I did delete were just ridiculous, and I wanted to say that. Once again special thanks to Blaiseingfire for beta'ing this chapter. Remember if you have any questions feel free to review or ask me through pm, and I will see you all next chapter.
B: Just dont ask a question if its a guest review. Seriously, how do you expect us to pm you an answer if its a guest review? It one of my biggest peeves on this site.
Alright bye everyone!
