Hey everyone, BassDS here, and back with an impromptu update to this story.
So the main reason why I'm even adding to this is because apparently, I updated the story in the same day according to , and I thought 24 hours had past; apparently for it's system, that wasn't the case, so even though I updated Confessions, it wouldn't have appeared on the first page to let everyone know that it had been updated, and for those that did like how the story went at that point, it wouldn't be right if they didn't know about the update in the first place.
So, I've decided to upload this small, short segment to fix that issue...So until then, I hope you all enjoy this small supplementary piece.

Part 3: A Walk In The Park (Overprotective Dad, Too)
Needless to say, things didn't exactly go smoothly with Jaune and Ruby's relationship just beginning to blossom. Case in point:
Taiyang Xiao Long watched Jaune like a hawk ready to kill the moment he did anything to harm his child. Luckily, Jaune had Yang on his side and she did her best to try to keep her and Ruby's father in check.
Things would just have to take time.
"Sorry my dad's bit of a hard case about us." Ruby apologized to Jaune while making their way down the lone park on Patch. "I guess he just never expected me to actually BE in a relationship; y'know, huntress dreams and weapon obsessions in all."
"Eh, I can understand where he's coming from. My dad was the same way with my two oldest sisters when they started dating." Jaune replied.
Ruby laced her hand in his and rested her head against his arm as they walked; enjoying the tranquil breeze and the peaceful atmosphere. Everyone had already started to head home for the day as the sun began to set, so they had the whole park to themselves.
"I'll admit, I never imagined myself in this position before. I always thought I would be too busy to worry about boys or love; just focused on being a huntress and helping people..." Ruby softly spoke out.
"And now?"
"I'm glad I can know this feeling...especially when I know I have someone by my side to share it with." she smiled happily.
"Want to watch the rest of the sun set?" Jaune asked.
"Then what, you taking me on a moonlit stroll?" she wisecracked.
"Well, the thought DID cross my mind." he said as he bended down to her height to gently kiss her, with her equally reciprocating with her own.
"When I find him, I'm going to kill him to staying out this late with her; it's already past 11." Tai grumbled as he was hellbent on searching every inch of the park, Yang trailing behind him to try to keep her father in tow.
"Dad, seriously, you're overreacting."
"Overreacting? Who's overreacting? I'm not overreacting?" he replied in a frenzy.
"Ugh..." Yang said as she place her hand to rub her forehead. "Times like this I wish mom were here."
Yang soon followed suit after her dad, making her way up the hill before finding her dad standing in place and his body tensing up a bit, and soon she saw why.
There on the bench in front of Tai lay Jaune with his back to the corner of the bench and the arm rest sound asleep, with Ruby snuggled close to him and her arm atop his chest.
Knowing her dad was mostly likely about to wake them, Yang wisely took out her scroll and snapped a photo of the two while she had the chance. After all, it'd make great riffing material later on.
"AHEM!" Tai uttered out with his arms crossed as the two slowly began to wake up before focusing on the man in front of them.
Ruby looked at her dad before finding her attention being drawn to the position she was in as she rested against Jaune's body
"Now...I know what you're thinking, but this ISN'T what it looks like..." she said nervously, hoping to try to quell her dad and spare Jaune his wrath as her boyfriend began to laugh nervously.
"I'm dead, aren't I?" Jaune quietly asked her.
"Oh yeah...you and me both..."
