Jaune Arc had come to accept some painful truths in life since his time attending Beacon Academy. Not everyone who wanted to be a Hunter was hero material, there was high tension between Faunus and Humans that he had either not seen or ignored as a kid, and last but not least it was impossible to move through the school without being noticed. No matter how much he tried Jaune was just a highly visible person, and it was only by sheer luck that none of the people who saw through his best attempts to sneak through the hallway were in his Scrolls contact list. By some miracle the blonde haired young man managed to make it too the library, hoping that he might be able to track down at least one or two of the people who had received the message. As soon as he started looking the young man hit pay dirt, finding Blake walking toward a bookshelf, Scroll in hand and about to open the device.

Seeing that his one chance to prevent her from reading his message was slowly slipping away Jaune moved quickly, running into Blake from behind and causing both of them to topple over onto the floor of the library. Her Scroll went flying a few feet away, and all he had to do was reach out, grab it, delete the message, and then come up with an excuse. Overall it wasn't the worst plan he had ever come up with.

Not to say it was a good one. Years of training and fighting against people had given Blake the ability to turn a situation like this around quickly, flipping Jaune over and pinning him down, drawing a pen from her pocket and pressing it against his neck to quickly bring him down, until she realized just who she was aiming the death blow toward. "Jaune?" she asked, a confused look on her face.

"Yo." Jaune replied, trying to keep the movement of his neck to an absolute minimum with a deadly pen so close to opening his windpipe to accept a lot more air than it was supposed to.

"Why did you tackle me from behind?" she asked calmly, not yet moving the pen away from his throat or making any move to get off of him.

"I thought I saw a...bee." Jaune said, the lie coming out a lot more smoothly then the one he had told Ruby. After Ruby's confession and the lie about taking her to the dance he figured that it was either go for it all or end up dead by the time the dance came around. He would worry about the moral ramifications of lying to his friends if he still had a functioning lower half by the end of the night.

"A bee?" she asked, an odd expression playing across her face before her cheeks began to slightly darken. "When I read your letter I had assumed, but I didn't actually think..."

'Oh no' Jaune thought, seeing the look on her face as one of anger. Something in the letter had managed to trigger her. He didn't really think the letter was super offensive or anything, but she might have been angry because she was spoken for. Not that anything official had come to pass, he was sure something like that would be all Sun would talk about.

"I didn't think I would ever find someone who liked Shinobu as much as I did!" she leaned down and wrapped her arms around him, a smile on Blake's face as she hugged the still pinned Jaune.

That was not what Jaune was expecting, in fact it was the opposite of what he actually wanted to happen in the long run. At least if she was pissed at him he could babble his way out of this, but he hadn't expected the whole affectionate cat thing from his Faunus friend. "Say what now?" he asked.

Blake chuckled a bit and leaned up, still firmly planted on top of Jaune, which was drawing more than a few whispers from the students and teachers. "Oh, right," she lowered her voice so only Jaune could hear her. "From the third book in the'Ninja's of Love' series, it was just like Shinobu's letter to his loved one."

For the first time since the note had been sent he finally felt a smile come to his face, feeling like there was finally a chance that things could work out. He would run with Blake's story of liking whatever 'Ninja's of Love' was and explain to her that he had accidentally sent it to everyone while sending her a favorite quote. They could work out the Ruby problem, deal with everyone else, and all he had to do was read a trashy romance series about Ninja's...or at least read a synopsis online. "Are you kidding it is probably the best thing I have ever read, heck I am practically Shinobu, well I mean, have to tone it down a bit but you know." of course he was talking out of his ass at this point, but so long as he stayed nonspecific he was sure everything would work out.

Blake chuckled a bit and finally stood up, offering the blonde boy a hand and helping him up. "Yes...you are aren't you?" the Faunus girl gained an odd sort of look in her eyes as she helped Jaune up, not saying anything for a moment and just looking at him.

"Uh...so there is something I wanted to tell you..." before Jaune could complete his thought Blake leaned forward and firmly placed her lips against his, wrapping her arms around him in a tight hug.

Now Jaune liked to think of himself as a man with a certain amount of moral character, the kind of guy who would open doors for girls and not think twice if they didn't thank him. He was respectful toward girls and would never go beyond trying to woo them, never overstepping his boundaries. He also liked to think that he was a one woman type of girl, and at that moment the one woman was certainly not the one kissing him in the middle of the library.

And yet none of that changed that the kiss was really amazing.

After what felt like an eternity of being lip locked with Blake he finally managed to regain enough of his brains abilities to break it, taking a few panting breaths. From somewhere in the library he swore he heard Cardin yell 'come on' before storming out, and something about Port talking about the old days. Yet all sound around him seemed a bit muted as an image or Ruby bisecting him with her scythe came into his mind. "Uh...um...wha...?"

Blake blushed and looked down, nervously biting her lip. "Ever since I first read the books Shinobu was the character I loved the most, he was brash at times, arrogant despite knowing he had no chance in certain situations, and always kind in a goofy kind of way," she looked at him with a light smile. "I suppose that I always wanted to meet someone who was just like him, someone who enjoyed the things I liked while being just like him."

Should I just kill myself now or would it be easier just to let Ruby do it? "Wha...wait what about Sun?" he had assumed the two of them had been dating at some point. Through neither had actually made anything official after the dance, at least not that he knew of. Oh God or Gods in heaven Sun was going to murder him if he ever found out about this.

"Sun is, he is a really nice person, but he is...well lets both be honest he is more of a Wakishi then anything else," she chuckled at what she assumed was a shared joke between them, even through Jaune couldn't possibly be more lost. "Anyway, after reading your letter, and after...well..." she tucked a stray piece of hair behind her ear and smiled bashfully. "that, I want to say...yes."

"Yes?" Jaune asked, still trying to get his entire being back to working on a human level before anything else happened.

"Yes I will be your Valentine's Jaune." she took his hand and smiled in her usual Blake way, finally lowering it a notch after her initial excitement. Calm but glowing. "And your Lumias."

It didn't matter that Jaune had never even opened up to the first page of Ninja's of Love, the tone of her voice made it quite clear exactly what she was talking about by saying that. "Oh...uh...right... but let's not tell anyone yet, I mean it would be better to tell them all at the dance right?" he was falling back on the same delay tactic he used on Ruby, but it was the only chance he had left. There had to be at least one girl he could get to help him.

Blake covered her mouth to stop a chuckle from coming out. "Just like book four right?" she shook her head and muttered something before giving him another kiss, this one much lighter. "I will see you then Jaune." with that done Blake walked out of the library, leaving Jaune standing in place and questioning just what he was supposed to do now.

At least it can't get worse. Jaune bitterly thought.


Ren walked back into the team's room and stretched himself out as Nora walked past him to grab a change of clothes, tossing a bright pink bag onto her bed while whistling a small tune. The two friends had spent most of their day off on a jog around the Forever Fall's forest, a jog that had turned into a fight for their lives against a pack of Beowolves at one point, but a jog nonetheless.

"I'm going to shower so I don't smell all gross for the dance!" Nora sang out before exiting the room with a fresh set of clothing, heading toward the womens shower room.

Ren shook his head and laid back on the bed, trying to ignore the pain coming from his leg where he had taken a pretty nasty hit. His Aura had absorbed the dangerous bits, but the physical blow still left a certain soreness to it. It was while he was laying down that he heard a vibrating sound come from Nora's bag, most likely her Scroll left behind during all the fuss. He hoped up from the bed and reached into the bag to get the Scroll, planning on returning it to her before she realized it had been left behind.

However, his hands were a bit sweaty still, and his normally firm grip was weakened enough for the Scroll to slip out of his hand and fall onto the floor, opening up to reveal a message from Yang and one from Jaune. Ren figured it was a team message that their team leader had sent them all, his own Scroll having died during the jog. He quickly typed him Nora's password, knowing it by heart seeing as it was the same as his own and quickly read the message from Jaune before pausing and reading it again. And then again. It was on the third reading that Ren noticed the words were getting fuzzy, and when he looked down he could see his hands coated in deadly Aura, waiting to destroy the target his anger was pointed at.

The black haired man deleted the message and left the room, a new target on the forefront of his mind. He needed to have words with Jaune, and they wouldn't be pleasant.


Coco blocked an impressively quick blow by Fox, using her suitcase to knock her partners fist aside and kicked him in the stomach, sending him toppling to the ground before he could recover and take a fighting stance. "So how many hits is that now I have landed on you Fox?" Coco smirked a bit at her blind teammate. Despite his disability he was still probably the single best hand to hand fighter in Beacon, and few even knew about his disability with the way he moved and seemed to find things without effort.

"That's because we are training," Fox stretched out, letting his joints pop a bit before taking a more relaxed stance. "If we were really fighting things would be quite a bit different."

The second year student scoffed a bit but knew that her partner was right. In a full fledged fight the two of them would probably end up destroying a lot more of the surrounding area. "What's up, you quitting already?"

Fox shook his head and pointed toward her bag. "You got a message a few rounds back, figured that it might be a good chance for my Aura to fix me up while you checked it."

Coco nodded, knowing that her partner needed a break. With the upcoming tournament she had wanted to brush up on her close quarter skills, and she knew that he held back a lot for her to actually manage a hit. The young woman walked to her bag, opening it up and taking out her Scroll to check the message. To her surprise the message was from Jaune Arc, the leader or team JNPR. The two teams had traded numbers after the whole train incident, after all any first years who had the balls to stand up against a hoard of that size was good in her books. She hadn't interacted with him much since then, a few passing conversations and a talk on a strategy she had helped make, but nothing huge.

Her eyes went down to the screen to read the message.

Fox's ears pricked up as he heard something odd from his team leader. "Coco are you all right, your heart is pounding really fast right now."

"I...uh...oh yeah fine...just gonna...yeah..." Coco grabbed her bag and made a swift exit from the room, leaving a very confused Fox standing alone.

"Hello?" Fox asked, turning his head around to try to pick up any sounds. "Well, wonder what that was about?"

Whatever it was it had sent Coco running fast, and few things outside of a sale at her favorite store. Fox simply shrugged and walked out of the training room. "Probably not a big deal."


And there we have chapter two out for you guys. Now I am going to address a few things real quick. This is a comedy fic, I am sticking close to characters as we know them but I don't plan to not go with a funny joke just because it goes slightly against character. Would Blake kiss Jaune because he reminded her of her favorite novel character? Probably not, but it is funny if it did happen. Please take this fanfiction from that viewpoint, as I know there are probably a few people who won't.

Anyway with that out of the way Jaune is going to have to deal with a murderous Ren and a confused Coco next chapter. Oh what a horrible web that has been woven. And its only going to get worse. Also apologizes for the slow speed of chapters. I recently lost my Microsoft word after a computer error and have had to rewrite a lot of stuff.

Leave a review if you got a laugh, favorite it to let me know you liked it, and follow to see more.
