Blake was now trying to lie down on her bed and read a book after everything that had just happened in the last couple of hours. The things is...she was too distracted to read her book. Again! The reason this time was the exact same as the last. A certain blond goofball wouldn't get out of her mind. 'This isn't fair!' Blake thought to herself. 'All I wanted to do now was read my book in peace, but i can't even do that without thinking of HIM.' Her eyes kept moving across the lines as though she were reading, but in reality it was just muscle memory of her constant reading. 'I bet he doesn't even really notice me.' she thought glumly.

Jaune closed the door to his teams room behind room and let out a deep sigh. 'Why can't i just help someone out of the kindness of my heart?' he thought, remembering the conversation he just had with his team. He looked around the hall to see if anyone was there, but all he saw was the white walls and the stairs to the roof. 'This is kind of early for me to be heading to the roof... ahhh screw it. Today's been a long day.'

He started to turn towards the stairs but stopped to look at team RWBY's door. He felt a click in his head and a sudden thought popped into his head. 'Why did she help me?' Jaune remembered back to lunch when Cardin turned his attention toward him, but Blake stood up to him. She was willing to get caught in the cross hairs for him. 'Why? What have I done to deserve that kind of trust from her?' He stood there completely oblivious of why Blake of all people would help her.

*Sigh* 'There's no use in questioning a kind act.' He wasn't going to be like his team. No matter how concerned they were for him there was no reason to question what he did, so he wouldn't do that to Blake. 'I guess i trust her as much as she trusts me.' Jaune just smiled and turned back towards the direction of the stairs and started walking.

Little did he know another certain blond peeked her head out the door he was just staring at and watched him walk towards the stairs.

"Yang what are you doing with the door?" Ruby asked her older sister, confused as to why she was peeking outside and not just stepping out. Yang closed the door as quietly as she could and slowly turned her head to look at her sister.

"Hhehehhehe. HEHEHEHEHE. HAHAHAHAHAAHh." Yang started to laugh like a maniac as she had a giant grin on her face. Ruby just looked at her sister as she casually lifted a glass of milk to her face. Ruby just waited for her sister to calm down. She was used to her older sister being weird, and when this sort of thing happened she learned to not get in her way. Ruby shuddered at the memory of getting in the way. 'Never again!'

Yang finally stopped laughing as she turned to look at her partner. She pointed at her with the most ferocious look in her eyes. "BLAKE!." Blake jumped in her bed as she had been called from her stupor.

"Wha-what!?" Blake said looking around the room. Her eyes stopped on Yang who was pointing at her in front of the door. She had a bad feeling that Yang was going to do something that she didn't agree with, but something that she couldn't prevent. "What do you want Yang?" she said with a sound of defeat already in her voice.

"Oh you're no fun!" Yang said. Blake didn't even give her the satisfaction of arguing. "Well since you asked I need you to put down your book and get over here!" Blake sighed as she did what was asked of her and was surprised when she was pulled close to Yang. "I need you to look outside in the hall."

Blake was very confused at Yang's request, but now she was curious. She went up to the door and opened in just enough for her to peek out. What she saw as Jaune just getting out of view from heading up the stairs. She gasped and pulled her head back into the room, slamming the door behind her. "You saw him right?" Yang asked Blake.

"Y-ye-yeah, what about him though?" Blake asked a bit flustered and confused. Yang just smiled as she turned to look at Weiss and Ruby. "Blake and I are going to go prowling in the night." Weiss just groaned at the desk she was studying at, as Ruby just gave her sister a face that said 'Really? You're going to say that?'

"Ummm i don't think I wan-" Blake was saying. "Oh come on!" Yang whispered. "I'll get you a yarn ball if you come with me!" she added.

"Don't tease me Yang." Blake said as she was shoved out the room. Once they were out in the hall she turned to Yang. "You owe me a yarn ball now!" Yang scoffed at her as she lead her in the direction of the stairs. "Please! After tonight, you're going to owe me 10!"

Jaune had just sat down on the edge of the roof as he thought more about the girl who protected him today. 'Blake really is a unique girl. She's smart, cute, funny in her own unique way...and she's a faunus.' Jaune couldn't lie when he said he thing for faunus. They were so extravagant, and they could do so many things that he, as a human, could not do. They could smell you from a mile away, see in the night, had heightened hearing and sensitivity. What could he not love about them.

Sure there were some Faunus that would like to see humans eradicated, but hey, that's just the way they were taught. Their parents and grandparents had to be a part of a war that was build on racism, so of course some were going to teach their children to hate humans. Jaune forgives them though, because he was not like those humans who just want power and wealth.

He looked up and saw the stars. Those starts gave him the tiniest bit of hope. To him they symbolized humans and faunus. Each start was unique, and even though there might be a cluster of starts that were just bigger or were made of something stronger, all the starts...are still starts. That's what Jaune thought anyways.

He began to close his eyes and think more on the faunus that saved him today. 'Blake...' He smiled as he thought about her cute cat ears that he got to see, if only for a minute. The sound of the roof door didn't even register to Jaune because of how deep in thought he was.

Blake stood at the door to the roof too nervous to even open it. She was terrified of what she was about to do, and she would be lying if she said she didn't feel a bit queasy. "Come on Blake you can do this!" Yang said behind her. "Just remember what we went over and things are sure to go your way."

Yang gave some advice to Blake to help her find out if Jaune was feeling the same way she was, but some of them were a bit ridiculous. 'I mean how would him starting to sweat and turn red indicate to me that he likes me?! But if Yang said it was true...i'll give it a shot.'

"Go get em tiger! Or should i say...Go get em kiter!" Yang winked and gently nudged her shoulder. Blake she starred at her and walked out the door to the roof. "Well at least that got her out the door." Yang sighed.

BB/JA

Blake stood on the middle of the roof slowly walking towards Jaune. He was sitting there looking perfect. The light from the moon was hitting him perfectly, giving him a sort of mysterious vibe. 'Oh god why does he have to look like that? In face..he kinda looks like the main character from "Ninjas of Love"...' Of course, just as she thought that Yang had to open the door back inside a bit causing it to creak loudly, finally getting Jaune to look at her.

Jaune turned around to look at the door but his view was blocked by someone. He slowly led his eyes up to look at the person in the face. When he got there he saw Blake. Her eyes were looking at anything but him, and her checks were a bright red. 'Of course!' Jaune thought. 'The moment i started to think about her she would just show up like that...is it cause she's a faunus...can she read my mind!?'

Jaune stumbled to get up from where he sat and as he got on his feet he noticed what she was wearing. All she had on was a black kimono what white linings and it had a belt on her waist to keep it closed. To say Jaune didn't get a bit of a nose bleed was an understatement. "H-h-hey B-Blake!" Jaune stuttered out. 'Oh great. That's the perfect way to start a conversation Jaune.' he thought sarcastically to himself.

'He's stuttering, and he looks nervous...his face is getting red too! Yang mentioned all of these things would happen if he likes me.' Blake glanced down at what he was wearing and was surprised to see that he no longer has his blue one piece pajama, instead he had on a white muscle shirt, and some black shorts. 'Well he really is putting that muscle shirt to work...wait what!?'

Jaune stood there watching Blake as she thought to herself. Thinking he said something wrong he looked down and said "Is everything okay Blake?" Back at the door Yang face palmed and mentally urged Blake to say SOMETHING to Jaune. Instead Blake just opened her mouth, but words didn't come out.

Jaune was very confused by this and didn't know what to say. 'What's going on! Why is my voice not working!' Blake thought to herself. 'He's going to think i'm a weirdo and will want nothing to do with me.' with a frown Blake turned and started to walk back to the door.

"W-Wait. Where are you going Blake? Don't you wanna talk or something?" Jaune called out. To be honest he didn't really feel like being alone right now, and Blake seemed like the perfect person to be with him. 'Wait what am I thinking? Blake probably thinks i'm some weak loser that needs protecting. I mean she practically had to bail me out at lunch.

Jaune looked down, his self berating making his mood go down the drain. When Blake heard his voice though there was a hint of desperation. Like he really wanted her to stay. She turned to look at him, with his head hung low looking ashamed of himself. She stood up straight with sudden confidence and walked towards him. 'No one's going to make MY Jaune fell down!' She didn't even falter when she referred to Jaune as hers.

She stood in front of him, raised her hand to his chin and brought it up to look her straight in the eyes. "I would love to stay and talk with you Jaune." Blake said. At the door Yang fist pumped the air. Blake had taken the initiative and didn't look like she was stopping.

Jaune looked up at her with new found hope in his eyes. Blake wasn't expecting what Jaune would do next but knowing Jaune she should have expected it. He closed the distance between them and embraced Blake in one of the warmest hugs she'd ever been in. 'It feels just like curling up next to the fireplace on a cold winters night.' she thought as she started to nuzzle his neck for more heat.

After a couple of seconds of her nuzzling Jaune started to giggle. "Haha, Blake that, hahaha, that tickles!" Blake continued to do it some more seeing how Jaune was laughing in pure joy. 'I could really get used to making him laugh like this.' she though. She might have done it a bit too much though since Jaune fell over bringing her down with him.

Blake landed on his chest while he got the floor. "Oh my goodness i'm so sorry Jaune!' Blake said, worried about Jaunes back hitting the floor. Jaune just laughed at her worried expression and said "I've gone through worse. Remember that time I caught Weiss from becoming a pancake on initiation?" Blake just nodded. "Well.. if Pyrrha hadn't unlocked my aura let's just say I would have been the pancake!."

Blake laughed at the memory of it all. Those were good memories. They laid there for a minute before Jaune asked something that not even the other members of RWBY were comfortable asking. "Hey Blake...can I...can i take off your bow?" he asked a bit nervous.

There was a moment of silence before Blake nodded her head and sat up a bit. Jaune scooted closer to her under they were just inches apart and were looking each other in the eyes. Not 5 seconds later Jaune moved back and took in Blake's new look. Some would say that Blake didn't look very different, but others would say she was an entirely different person. Jaune thought the person he was looking at was not the same not new but...improved.

"You know Blake...I think you look beautiful without the bow, but I understand the reasons as to why you wear. it..." Jaune said. "You wear it to protect those that are close to you, because if others found out they were friends with a faunus they would be given a hard time...but I can tell that's not the only reason why."

Blake sat there in complete admiration of Jaune's willingness to express how he really felt. 'I think...this is the reason why...I like him.' Blake thought as her vision began to become blurry. Jaune was nothing but smiles for her, but something in his eyes changed. His expression with that of overwhelming joy, to complete and utter doubt of himself. "I know," Jaune said ",because i have to live like that every day as well."

Blake sat there confused and a bit scared of Jaunes reason for feeling this way. 'What could Jaune be hiding...what was so important for him to hide from us?' "So far only Pyrrha knows. It kinda slipped out one day when we were alone and her willingness to help me broke my will to keep it a secret." Jaune was near tears but Blake could tell that he had more to say. "That's why when i suddenly found out you were a faunus it happened not because you wanted to confide in me, but because i just happened to be there... That's why i want to tell you my secret without you stumbling upon it and being ashamed of me even more."

No one word could express how Blake felt with Jaune saying this. She was scared, worried, nervous, appreciative, confused...but most of all. She was proud. Proud that Jaune is taking a stand and sharing his secret with her. Something that he hold very dear to him. "My being here at Beacon Academy...is a lie." Jaune said. Blake, for better or worse, smiled at Jaune.

That reaction was not what he was expecting to happen. He was expecting Blake to punch him and storm off. Not to stay and smile at him. 'Why didn't she-' Jaune was thinking, when Blake took Jaune into a tight embrace. Jaune couldn't keep himself composed. He broke down into tears in the arms of the person who he now respected the most in all of Beacon. Jaune was now in the arms...of the person he likes most.

Back at the door there was a slight creak as it closed, and the person behind it gone for the rest of the night.
