A/N: Apologies for the lack of updates. Things IRL has not been the best and well, I... Was distracted, so to say. But then again. This is more of a hobby than anything important. So! Good news. I'm somewhat back, and I will be continuing this through sporadic updates. I'm also open for some ideas to create a more... Original route on the story. As I don't particularly like following too much of the main source. That's all for now.
Legend:
"Clean your room" Archer speaking
"Please, clean your room" Shirou speaking
"Why me!" Jaune speaking with his thoughts
Jaune Pov
"Wait, hold on. You're saying that you saw people, wielding the swords that materialized through my body?"
Ruby huffed.
"Yes! And I want explanations. I still get random flashes at times... Worse when I'm sleeping. Feels like those visioms or hallucinations are real" She said, cheeks puffed for some unknown reason.
I scratched my head, trying to think of an excuse or an explanation with enough bullshit that, she actually believes me.
"Good, you're learning" I rolled my eyes away from Ruby... I don't want her to think I'm annoyed at her.
"Listen, Ruby. All I know is I may or may not, have the most broken Semblance of all. But, other than that, I got nothing. I'm still learning about it" Ruby's pout became more prominent, but nonetheless dropped the subject.
"Well alright, I suppose you're telling the truth... It's just, it's starting to get more freqient, the more I think about them" I raised a brow.
"Maybe you should try not thinking about them? I don't know, I'm not a psychiatrist"
Her eyes widened in realization.
"You know what? That might just work! I'll try to keep my thoughts off of the subject, but like... They're weapons! And they're all beautiful!" And there she goes.
"Why me"
Time Skip
"Actually, I think he shouldn't rely on his semblance too much. I'd hate to be denied my food"
I rolled my eyes at the girls. I mean, honestly... Do they expect me to just keel over and not use my semblance when I'm disarmed from Crocea Mors?
"Weiss, listen. That's a good reason and all, but think about it like this. Would you rather not have his cooking forever? Or just for a few days, because Jaune can heal faster than any other Hunters and Huntresses with a healing semblance"
And Yang... Surprisingly civil with this one.
She casted me a look after feeling my eyes on her, before nodding her head towards Ruby... Who is currently stuffing her cheeks full of cookies just to make her silent and distracted.
"Fair... But still. His latest stunt should be a warning. Right, Jaune? You're not going to overuse your semblance on a daily now, right?" I felt chills running up my spine, when Weiss directed her gaze at me.
I backed off a bit, only to bump into Pyrrha who also has a dangerous look on her face.
"I uh... Yes!" I swallowed a lump in my throat before speaking. Much to the two's delight.
"Speaking about semblances. You still need to explain why weapons are your thing. Quite literally, you're a copy and paste machine" It was Blake who spoke this time.
"Mheah!" Ruby agreed with cookies still in her mouth.
"Look, girls. I get it that everyone here is curious about my semblance, but even I, who use said semblance, doesn't know why it's like that. And yes, semblances can be a product of one's desires or a family trait" Weiss crossed her arms with a huff. "I don't even want to be like everyone else! I want to be me! I, quite literally. Have no desire at all, to be similar to you girls"
That made them pause, some having an inner debate with themselves while Yang is grinning like an idiot.
"But that doesn't mean I don't want to get to know you all better"
"Idiot" Archer suddenly spoke in my head.
I raised a brow. Confused at the sudden insult.
"Well, you heard him girls... Sir Knight here wants to know us better~" I rigidly faced a Yang with a smile so mischievously sinister, I couldn't hold back a shudder.
Weiss and Pyrrha are sporting a blush, that rivals Ruby's hood. Blake is drooling and blushing, and Ruby... She's grinning widely, still stuffed with cookies.
Yang suddenly appeared next to me and draped her arm around me.
"Well, Lover Boy. If you need some notes on Ember Celica, you know where to look~" Yang said as she winked at me.
"Hey! No fair! Jaune said we're going out for weapon parts first!" Ruby swallowed and added her own cent.
"I believe Jaune and I, will be doing lessons on Myrtenaster today. So, away with you peasants! No, not you Pyrrha, you can join us if you want" Weiss interrupted.
"Wow, and I thought we're equals here" Blake sarcastically remarked, making Weiss explode into an atomic blush of embarrassment.
"I! You- I! It's a joke! You know!? Funny!" Weiss panicked.
Before I could try to calm them down... Yang convincing Ruby about something definitely related to me, with how they're looking at me back and forth.
Pyrrha grabbed my hand and fled the scene.
As the two of us escaped, I couldn't help but notice the redness of Pyrrha's ears, matching that of her hair... Well, redder. And her concerning iron grip on my hand, isn't exactly the most comforting gesture in hindsight.
The two of us made our way through different corridors and found ourselves in front of our dorm. But before Pyrrha could twist the handle, a familiar noise and grunt came from inside.
"Nora! Please go easy on me!" We heard Ren beg as the sounds of something breaking echoed loudly from within.
"WHAT. DO. YOU. MEAN. WE. ARE. OUT. OF. PANCAKE. MIX!?" Pyrrha withrew her hand from the handle and sneaked away from the upcoming storm.
May the Brother Gods bless Ren's soul.
Pyrrha once more dragged me away from our dorm and found a secluded area in one of Beacons halls.
She then pushed me on the wall, trapped me with both arms to my sides, and by the looks on her face... I will be having difficulties in escaping this one.
"Jaune... Do you mean, what you had said earlier?" Her shaky voice is a cause for concern.
I swallowed audibly and asked both my tenants for help.
"You're on your own, dumbass. That's what you get for not thinking before saying" Archer said.
"I... I'm afraid I have no experience within this field on women" Shirou lied... Horribly I might say.
"I... I can't say no, can't I?" She nods her head, almost robotically with how rigid she moved.
"Well, I can honestly say I want to know you girls better. Considering we're going to be stuck together for four years... More if we decide to do missions almost always together" I said truthfully, though her eyes narrowed when I mentioned everyone.
"Hm... I think it's better if it's just us two, Jaune. The others... The others are just a hindrance and I... I do not like being hindered" Her eyes slowly enlarged to a point where she has a crazy look on her face. Her pupils are as small as pinpricks, and her breath heavy.
"Don't you agree Jaune?!" Her face is almost touching mine, her smile now a mad grin, as her grip on the walls slowly created spiderweb cracks.
"I can make sure they won't get in our way, Jaune! of course, I won't outright remove them from the census and, I suppose a warning would suffice for now. But if you want, I can get rid of them!" I... I do not like where this is going.
"I... I don't thi-"
"Jaune? is that you?" A familiar voice came to my rescue.
I looked behind Pyrrha and found Velvet standing there, clutching books in her arms, and is probably heading for the library.
"Hi! Velvet, hi!" Her intrusion surprised Pyrrha enough, that she wasn't paying attention. So I shimmied my way out of her arms, and quickly stood next to Velvet.
"Hi!... You heading to the library?"
"Uhm... Yeah, Doctor Oobleck gave us a written assignment, and these books helped me a lot. Now I'm just returning them, and I so just happen to notice you and..." She glanced at Pyrrha.
"Oh! She's my teammate! Pyrrha Nikos. The P of Team JNPR! Pyrrha, Velvet. Velvet, Pyrrha!" I introduced the two.
Pyrrha's normal smile returned, as she extended her hand for a handshake.
"Hi, as my Team Leader said. I am Pyrrha Nikos. First year student" She said, smiling sweetly.
"Well met, Pyrrha. Velvet. Velvet Scarlatina, Second Year student" Velvet accepted the handshake, and I swear to Oum I just saw lightning between the two.
...
"So! let me help you with those books, they look heavy!" I said, reaching out for the books.
"Oh, uhm... Thank you... Jaune" Velvet replied with a blush, as she handed half of the stack.
"Great, let's go" I said, only to be stopped by Pyrrha who took the books from my arms.
"Let me help too. You've been overworking yourself a lot lately, and as your Teammate. It is my duty to make sure my Team Leader gets proper rest. So I'll be the ones carrying the books, plus. You did just recover" I closed my lips as Pyrrha gently took the books away from me.
"Oh right, how are you feeling Jaune? From what Yang told us, your semblance went haywire" Velvet spoke worriedly, moving closer.
"Eheh... I'm doing fine now, actually. Though I wish it wouldn't happen again in the future, considering our future line of work will cause us to break through limits" I replied, slightly scooting away from Velvet's face being in close proximity.
Velvet continued to scrutinize me, but I made my way in front of them.
"Anyway! Let's get to the library, yeah?" I changed the subject.
Velvet frowned, but nodded. Pyrrha however, is still smiling sweetly.
Meanwhile Velvet Pov
"Oh my dear Jaune~ If only I could've been there. I would do everything to keep you safe. But this Bitch(Pyrrha) is clinging on to you like a barnacle on a whale!"
I thought to myself, as I hooked my arm around his... But this whore is hogging all of his attention!
"Y-Yeah, Pyr... I suppose I can take it easy on the mornings for now... Even though we already destroyed the cafeteria with that food fight we had" Jaune said, muttering the last part under his breath, but I heard it thanks to my Faunus heritage.
Hehe~ Oh Jaune~ You smell so nice... So warm... So gentle. I can't help it but, imagine myself laying on your arms, as you gallantly rode on a horse. After saving me from the Evil Troll(Cardin), then the two of us getting married, then you and I having children! Oh Oum! Just the mere thought of Jaune and I fucking each other like rabbits after our wedding day, is making me go into heat!
"Ve-"
Hush you fly! I am daydreaming of my future with my Husband!"
"Ve- et?"
I said quiet!
"Vel-et!"
I finally snapped out of my daydreaming, as I recognized who was calling out my name.
"Yes, dea- I mean, Jaune?"
"We're here" He said, and I got confused. Until I looked around, finding outselves inside the library.
"Oh... I uhm, thank you for the help. I'll take those now" I said, briefly sending the Bitch a glare. To which she returned with a glare of her own.
I swear to Oum I'm the one who's going to be Jaune's Wife! Not you! Not the girls from Team RWBY! And especially not some random whore on the side of the road!
"I'll see you around Jaune, Pyrrha. And thanks for helping me with the books" I said and Jaune replied with a smile... Oh Oum! I just want to take him right here, right now!
Back to Jaune
I quickly made an excuse to go to the bathroom, as soon as Velvet disappeared through the Library doors... I should really be mindful of what I say.
"That was not something I wish to experience again" I softly said to myself, washing my hands and facing the mirror.
My eyes wandered on my face, and I noticed something off. My face looked sharper. In fact, I'm starting to look like Dad, but less hairy. Huh... That's something. I mean, Dad has sharp features, so I suppose it's only correct. But isn't it too early to look like a Silver Fox?
Speaking of silver...
"Why am I growing Platinum hair? My roots are more sliver than blonde!" I screamed... Luckily no one is inside the Comfort Room, other than me... You know, why is it called a Comfort Room, when it's where the most difficult battle ensues?
"That would be another side effect, while not too drastic. It can and will confuse people in the long run" Archer suddenly said, confirming my suspicion.
"Ah, so it's that huh? You know, if this keeps going. I might be mistaken for a Schnee. I should buy some Hair Dye" I replied, earning me a grunt in response.
"Also... How is the both of your progress when it comes to Tracing Firearms?" I asked, and I only heard a defeated sigh.
"It's... Moving along, but at a pace I am not happy with. Why are your guns have to also be a sword?" Shirou complained.
"Well, switching from one weapon to another is a problem when dealing with Grimm. All I can remember from Doctor Oobleck is that Mechashift Weapons started to exist when knowledge of Dust improved" I replied, leaving the room and heading straight to the Hangars on Beacon.
"That and the inefficiency of carrying two weapons at once, is a burden" I added.
"Fair" Shirou said. While accepting, he is still skeptical.
Thankfully it is a Friday, and it's a Half day for us First Years.
After returning home, and suspiciously didn't get motion sickness. I knocked on our Dorm Room and waited a few seconds. Not hearing a response, I used my Scroll to unlock the door and went in.
What greeted me was a huge hole in the wall, an unconscious Ren on the floor, white sticky liquid all over the room, which I highly suspect is Pancake Batter... And a missing Nora and Pyrrha. But judging from the trail of Pancakes towards the hole in the wall. Nora is on a Sugar High and is most likely being reprimanded by Professor Goodwitch.
I felt my scroll vibrate and saw a message from Ruby, who is with her team and Pyrrha... Who looked like she's about to go feral with how sweet she's smiling.
I quickly sent a reply that I'm in our Dorm, and Ruby replied with another message with words that shouldn't be allowed at all to be used by her.
"Ah crud... Ruby wants a sleepover and Pyrrha has my pillows and an extra Futon" I shuddered as I replied with a yes.
I gingerly woke up Ren, who looked like he got blown up... Which is probably what happened.
"J-Jaune? Wha... What happened?" Ren asked groggily as I helped him on his bed.
"Nora had a sugar rush, from what I've taken when I entered the room" I deadpanned, much to his dismay.
"Ughhhhh. I shouldn't have added the tree sap from the Emerald Forest" Ah... That explains a lot.
"I see, you should probably clean up yourself. I'll fix most of the place up" I offered and he nodded.
He tiredly made his way to the bathroom, and once I heard the water running, I immediately collapsed on my now pillow free bed.
"Definitely should do something about this mess" I sighed, reinforcing myself and started moving furniture.
I checked the time on my scroll, and saw it was nine in the evening. I sighed, before pocketing it and took a deep breath.
I knocked on Team RWBY's door and a few seconds later. A flurry of red petals tackled me to the ground.
"Jaune! You made it! Now get in!" She said, overflowing with excitement and joy.
"Pyrrhaalreadybroughtyourpillowsandanextrafuton *Breaths* SoIhopedyoubroughtyourimportantstuff!" She said in rapid fire, almost making me blank out a bit.
"Ruby! Easy on my fellow blonde, you know he still needs his rest, after what happened a few days ago" Yang suddenly intervened, separating Ruby from me like tape off of a wall.
"Thank you" I breathed out... For a small girl, she has the strength of a Beringel.
"Get up, Lover Boy. Weiss Cream is getting impatient, because she bought a portable stove and food for you to cook, with her allowance money" She grinned and draped an arm around me.
"Hey! this is only one time I'm willing to sponsor alone! Next time. We all share the expenses!" Weiss suddenly yelled from inside the room.
"Heh, what she meant was" She clears her throat, before speaking in a tone that is supposed to sound like Weiss, but is so far off and sounds more like someone scratching a blackboard.
"If it's Jaune, all he needs to do is say what he wants, and I'll buy it for him. Free of charge!" Yang then bursts into laughter, falling over and rolling as Weiss. Who is now next to us with a face red enough to rival Ruby's hood. Has Myrtenaster out and is about to stab Yang.
"Ok, that's enough you two. Let the man cook already, so stop or I will personally make sure you two won't get inside. Capiche? Blake suddenly intervened, stopping the two in their tracks.
"Good, now get in" Blake deadpanned.
The two rigidly made their way inside.
"Thanks, Blake... Sushi?" I thanked and asked Blake.
Her eyes brightened, and a bit of saliva escaped her lips.
"Lucky you then. Weiss bought fresh Salmon" She replied, a rather suggestive look on her face, and a slight purr can be heard from her.
I... I really should learn my lesson by now.
"And another has fallen in the Rabbit Hole... I pray for your safety, even more so with those two" Archer said cryptically... Though I have an inkling.
Am still alive... Just gotten busy with Life and all that wonderful jazz. Still am, so expect rare updates... Then suddenly it's another year, before I update. *Sigh* Pain.
END.
