"Are you sure you don't want any help?"
"I'm fine."
"You just seem to be having some trouble."
"No no, I've got it."
"I beg to differ."
"Yang, I'm fi-ouch!
"Jaune!"
It's the day after Jaune had ended up in the infirmary. He was still in bed trying to cut the steak that Yang had brought him for lunch. Unfortunately he wasn't having much luck with only one arm and he somehow ended up stabbing himself with the plastic knife he was using.
"Are you okay?" Yang asked worried.
"Yeah, I'm just glad it was a plastic knife." Jaune said as he tried to cut his steak again but Yang took it from him and picked up the fork near the plate. She then proceeded to cut a piece of the steak and bringing it to Jaune's mouth.
"Say ahh."
Jaune looked at the the piece of steak and then at Yang. "I can feed myself you know."
Yang stared at Jaune with a frown on her face. "Please?" Yang asked sadly.
Jaune looked at her for a second before opening his mouth. "Ahh."
Yang smiled and fed him the steak, allowing him to swallow it before she cut another piece for him. This continued until the entire steak was gone.
"How was it?" Yang asked Jaune nervously.
"It was great Yang, thank you but you really didn't have to do that you know."
"I know, I just..."
"Yang, I told you before that it's okay."
"But your arm..."
"Will heal." Jaune finished for her. "You need to stop beating yourself up over this."
Yang sighed. "I will."
"Promise."
"I promise."
"Pinkie promise." Jaune held out his right hand with the pinkie extended.
Yang smiled and rolled her eyes while mirroring Jaune. "Sure vomit boy." She said as she and Jaune locked pinkies.
"Mr. Arc?" A nurse asked Jaune.
"Yeah, that's me."
"You can leave now if you'd like. Your clothes are in the closet over there." The nurse told Jaune.
"Great, thank you."
The nurse nodded. "If you need help getting dressed just let me know."
"Thanks, I will."
With that the nurse walked away out of sight.
Jaune got out of bed and got his clothes out of the closet. He then turned around to see Yang who was both blushing and grinning. "Everything okay Yang?"
"Those hospital gowns don't have much of a back and you're not wearing any underwear."
Jaune's face started turning red. "Y-yang, could you p-please maybe step out for a minute so I can get dressed?"
"Aw, you don't want any help getting dressed?" Yang teased still grinning while her blush died down a little.
"Yang!"
"Alright, I'm leaving. Just remember to holler if you need anything." Yang said with a wink before walking out of the room.
Now with her gone Jaune could get dressed. He was having a little trouble though so he decided to call for the nurse. "Excuse me, nurse. Can I get some help please?"
The nurse came walking back in but something was different. She seemed to be having trouble keeping her balance. It was like she was wearing stilts or something.
"Excuse me. Are you okay?"
The nurse responded by tripping and falling on top of Jaune. When the two collided she seemed to shatter like glass revealing Neo who was wearing stilts. They stared at each other for a moment before Jaune decided to say something.
"This seems somewhat familiar."
Neo smiled at Jaune before rolling off of him and trying to stand back up only to fall back down.
Jaune managed to stand up and helped Neo up onto her... Stilts.
Neo nodded gratefully at Jaune before pointing at his left arm.
"My arm will be fine. At least that's what the doctor said."
Neo looked at him with a worried expression before almost falling over again. Jaune caught her with his free arm and helped steady her.
"Okay, now why are you here and why are you wearing stilts?"
Neo held up one finger and then pointed at Jaune.
"Okay, you're here to see me. But, why the stilts?"
Neo raised her hand to Jaune's head and then her own (comparing their height difference).
"Aw, a little too short there Neo?" Jaune teased Neo which earned him a flick on the nose.
"Sorry, I saw an opportunity and I took it." Jaune apologized.
Neo just glared at Jaune with her cheeks puffed out while Jaune was holding back his laughter. This only made Neo's face turn red.
"You're cute." Jaune said as he pinched Neo's cheek. Neo slapped Jaune's hand away and then pinched both of his cheeks very hard.
"Owowowow! Okay, I'm sorry!"
Neo let go of Jaune with a victorious smirk in her face.
"Is everything okay in there?" A male voice asked.
Neo panicked and made her way to the nearest window. She tripped trying to jump out of the window causing her to fall into the just bush outside of the window.
"Are you okay Neo?" Jaune asked concerned.
Neo raised her hand and gave Jaune a thumbs up in response. This made Jaune laugh a bit knowing that she was okay.
Ren came through the door to check on Jaune. "Are you okay Jaune?"
"I'm fine. I was just having some trouble getting dressed."
"Do you need any help?" Ren asked.
"No, I've got it." Jaune answered while getting his clothes ready.
It took longer than he had hoped but Jaune was finally able to get dressed. When he exited the infirmary he saw both Ren and Yang waiting for him outside. It was the weekend all three decided to head back to their dorm rooms.
On the way to the dorms Jaune noticed that Yang seemed a little nervous as she would occasionally look behind her. "Are you okay Yang?" Jaune asked.
Yang jumped a little and gave Jaune a forced smile. "I-I'm fine Jaune. I jus-eep!" Yang was startled by something poking her side and in response she ended up leaving a fist sized hole in the wall. The hole in the wall was right next to the head of a terrified girl.
"*Gulp* Uh, sorry Y-y-yang. I didn't think you would be so punchy-happy today." The girl said terrified.
"*Sigh* Sorry Hei. I didn't mean to almost punch your head off." Yang apologized.
"No, I'm sorry. I probably shouldn't have scared you like that. Any way I should get going. Hope your arm gets better Jaune." Hei said before she walked away.
Ren looked at Yang. "We're going to start your anger management tomorrow."
"That wasn't anger, that was a reaction." Yang stated with her hands raised above her head.
"I know but I'm just reminding you."
"Fine." Yang said crossing her arms with an annoyed look on her face. She then looked at Jaune and then at the ground before making her way to her dorm. Ren and Jaune soon followed her.
When Jaune and Ren entered the door they were greeted by a rather strange sight. Nora was lying on her bed with her face buried in a pillow and muttering something into the pillow.
"Nora, are you okay?" Jaune asked placing a hand on the girl's shoulder.
Nora picked her head up just enough so she could speak and not wanting to look at Jaune. "I'm okay Jaune." She answers sadly before burying her face again.
"Nora, please look at me."
Nora shook her head.
"Pretty please with syrup on top?"
Nora picked her head up slowly and looked Jaune in the eyes. "Don't say syrup. I'm hungry."
Jaune smiled at Nora and sat on the edge of her bed. "Nora, I don't like seeing you not acting like yourself. I'll be fine. My arm will heal in no time." Jaune said pointing at his arm.
Nora sat up and looked at Jaune with a sad expression on her face before she hugged him. It wasn't the usual bone crushing hug that he got from Nora but a soft, gentle hug. He returned the hug.
"Can I ask you a couple of questions?" Nora whispered.
"Of course." Jaune whispered back.
"Do you promise that your arm will be better in no time?"
"I promise."
"And could you convince Ren to make pancakes for me again?"
Jaune smiled and looked at Ren who had obviously heard Nora because he had this scowl on his face.
Jaune whispered back to Nora. "I promise that I'll make you pancakes when Ren or Pyrrha are not around."
Nora kissed Jaune on the cheek before thanking him. "You're the best team leader ever!"
Ren glared at both Nora and Jaune before storming out of the room slamming the door behind him.
Ten minutes later.
An anger filled yell could be heard although out Beacon.
"What was that?" Jaune asked while flipping another pancake into a plate.
"It sounds kinda like the animal I would hear sometimes when I was younger. I've only heard it after Ren went home when he came over to play." Nora answered Jaune while pouring some syrup on a pancake.
Jaune just shrugged and went back to making pancakes.
Jaune was having trouble getting to sleep tonight. He sighed before pulling out his scroll thinking about playing a game or something when he got a message. He wasn't sure who would be messaging him this late so he opened it.
Neo: Hey, are you still awake?
Jaune was surprised to get a message from Neo. So he responded.
Jaune: Yeah, can't sleep. How about you?
Neo: No, I can't either.
They messaged each other for a couple of hours before managing to pass out at about the same time. Jaune managed to put his scroll away but Neo fell asleep with the device still in her arms.
The door to Neo's room opened slowly and a very tired Roman Torchwick walked in. He wanted to make sure she was in bed before he passed out onto the couch. He went over to her bed and pulled the covers over her. He noticed that her scroll was still on so he decided to close it up and set it on her night stand so it wouldn't get broken.
"*Sigh* Neo."
He picked up the scroll and saw that the message app was open.
"I swear, if it's Mercury I'm just gonna tell him to fu-" Roman stopped himself when he saw who the sender was.
"I'm going to have a talk with this Jaune guy."
Roman let out another sigh before leaving the scroll on a night stand and closing the door quietly behind him. He then proceeded to pass out onto the couch.
This didn't seem to fit well into the story itself (I thought it didn't anyway). So here is a description of Hei.
Hei was wearing the Beacon school uniform. She stands at about the same height as Jaune (with heels). Her hair at first appears to be black but in the right light is actually a very very dark blue color and is knee length. Her eye is a dull blue in color (think Weiss' eye color only not as pretty). She wears thin oval black rimmed glasses while her hair covers the right half of her face. Her skin is a very pasty white color.
