Let's see...that makes about...three times my life has been in danger today? That sounds about right. Jaune thought to himself, too wrapped up in what he was thinking to let go of Weiss. She wriggled and squirmed, but to no avail; the knight's hold was just too strong. Weiss sensed the beginnings of muscle through the fabric of his shirt. It feels oddly...nice. She felt her cheeks color a bit.

"L-let go of me! Y-you dunce!" Weiss yelled under her breath, trying to get Jaune's attention. He snapped back to reality and released his clutch on the poor girl. She smoothed out the ruffles in her dress, and huffed. However, it was only for show. She already missed his strong embrace.

No I don't! She corrected herself immediately.

The starry night sky was peaceful, which contrasted immensely with what the atmosphere that surrounded Jaune and his female companions. The air was deathly still, and Jaune barely dared to breathe. The tension was so thick you could cut it with a knife, and judging from the expressions on the four of their faces, he could assume that some steel was about to be brought out.

Pyrrha was the first to move, but the other's were just as quick. Ruby reached out and grabbed his arm, which brought Jaune back an unpleasant/pleasant memory of earlier. Of which, he still could not get over. Yang and Blake were on either side of his neck, pulling on his back. Pyrrha had a hold of Jaune's other arm.

They all began to pull and tug on Jaune, and expected to be torn three different times. He cried out in pain.

I take it back! I take it back! This isn't endearing at all! Jaune screamed internally, trying to ignore the fact that both his shoulders were very likely dislocated, and his spine was now out of alignment. He needed a massage after this, and a doctor.

This hilarious yet cringeworthy scene continued for a good minute before the four of them called a truce.

"We all can't have him." Ruby said, crossing her arms, a plan formulating in her head.

"Agreed." Yang said, straightening out her hair from all the commotion.

"What do you propose?" Pyrrha now asked, chewing on her bottom lip thoughtfully, pondering a way to get her and Jaune all alone.

Jaune, although being treated as nothing more than an object, said: "I have an idea."

The Huntresses all turned to him, puzzled. Blake's bow twitched in anticipation.

"How about you let me make the decision on who I wanna be with."

The uproar caused Jaune's eardrums to nearly shatter, but he waited until they all voiced their concerns.

"What! Why should we-"

"That's completely unfair!"
"You're going to pick Pyrrha!"
He silenced them with a gesture of his hands, and he resumed talking.

"I can't make a choice right now. I just need some time alone to think it over. I'm tired of being someone's play thing."

He gave each of them an apologetic nod, and headed off, giving Weiss a quick kiss on her hand.

All of them watched as he walked away, and the Schnee heiress was quiet, standing off to the side as she pondered something. In a short time, an hour to be more more accurate, she had gained a better understanding of the blonde goofball, and perhaps, she had gained a new friend who, in time, could turn into something more. She would never admit it out loud, but she did find his passion for becoming a warrior to be...noble.

Each of the females had their own thoughts about the young leader, but ninety percent were pretty lewd. The other ten, which belonged to Ruby Rose, involved Jaune and a plate full of cookies. Then she had an epiphany.

"Has anyone considered why we want Jaune so badly?"

This had snapped everyone out of their reverie and caused all eyes to be on the Rose girl.

Each of them took one second to ponder this, and Pyrrha was the first to speak: "When he found out about my celebrity status, he treated me like an equal. He wasn't intimidated by that, and he's really down to earth. It was...nice...to be treated...normally."

Blake nodded in agreement.

"So...the consensus here is: Jaune treats people fairly?" Ruby asked.

They all nodded; even Weiss, who was in the corner, thinking about her own feelings for Jaune Arc.

Jaune went to a small cafe and ordered some tea. He didn't have much money left after his venture with Weiss, but the smile was well worth it. He grinned at the memory. The light from the candles played off her hair, and made her azure eyes sparkle. He should have taken a picture.

All kidding aside, he reflected upon his own feelings for the girls. Before everything, he had considered Pyrrha the only romantic interest because she actually liked him, and the rest of them, excluding Weiss, had only thought of him as their friend. He stifled a yawn and took a sip of tea from his porcelain cup.

Now, however, their feelings had changed dramatically, and within a few months. It was all a bit overwhelming, and he felt like that his head was spinning from all the things that happened over the few hours. He needed to figure out who he was going to spend time with and try not to hurt the others. It was a puzzling experience.

Five shadows were outside, waiting.
