Chapter 3: Weiss Schnee
It all began due to a conversation with the exchange student Sun Wukong.
After Jaune Arc had gotten over his feelings of inadequacy due to Sun's prominently displayed abs, the two of them came to be close friends. One weekday, the two were talking to each other about their pursuit of their respective crushes: Sun's pursuit of the raven-haired beauty Blake Belladonna, and Jaune's pursuit of the ethereal yet frosty vision of perfection that was Weiss Schnee.
"I dunno Sun, she just doesn't seem to be liking any of my ideas, maybe I should stop?" Jaune fretted. "No way man, you definitely shouldn't give up! Keep chasing Weiss, you'll definitely wear her down eventually!" Sun exclaimed, rejecting Jaune's fears of upsetting Weiss.
"Sun, I don't think that's a good way of looking at things…. that's kind of insensitive and rude to her. I like her for who she is, she's not a piece of meat to chase after." Jaune pointed out to Sun. "Yeah, you're right about that man….but maybe you could try a new tactic?" Sun acknowledged his overeager ways of doing things, before bringing up a different thread.
"A new tactic? What do you mean Sun?" Jaune asked, curious what his friend could be thinking.
"So, since I'm trying to get Blake to go out with me, I've been trying to spend time reading with her." Sun began to explain to Jaune, before Jaune interrupted Sun's train of thought. "Wait, you read Sun?" "HEY! I read….sometimes!" "Yeah right, even I read more books than you do!" "I can't believe YOU'RE teasing me about reading, Mr. 'Comic Books are my main source of literature'!" "Oh, come on!"
"Anyway, I was reading with Blake the other day, and we had a good mood going, when the story we were reading had this thing called a….kabadun?" "Oh, you mean a kabedon?"
"Yeah, that. Anyway, I asked Blake if that stuff really worked, and she said that it's one of the secret fantasies that a lot of girls have. Y'know, gettin' a kaba-whatsit!" "And what are you going to have me do with that information?"
"You should totally do the cabbadawn on Weiss!" "What? I couldn't! She'd get really mad at me!" "Oh yeah? Blake told me Weiss talked to her about how much she enjoyed a scene with one of those cabahdones when the two of them were reading together the other day." "Really? Then…this could actually work?" "Yeah bro! You should go for it! Do that kavaduhne!" "…You realize you've been saying it wrong every time, right?" "Wait, really? Eh, who cares."
At that, Sun started dragging Jaune along, searching for Weiss. Not long after they started searching, Sun and Jaune found Weiss walking down the hall towards team RWBY's dorm room, a reference book tucked in her handbag.
"Bro, we lucked out! Go show that Schnee babe how much of a man you are!" Sun encouraged, giving Jaune a little push towards his crush. "Uhm…..ok?" Jaune replied, nervously fidgeting in apprehension.
Jaune swallowed down his nerves, and walked with his patented false confidence towards Weiss. Jaune could just make out Sun's whispered cheers, egging Jaune on. As Jaune got closer, Weiss turned around, having heard him approach clumsily.
Jaune didn't get a chance to see what face Weiss was making, but he hoped she wasn't too angry…
Taking advantage of her surprise at seeing Jaune approaching unexpectedly, Jaune backed Weiss against a wall. Jaune timidly placed his hand against said wall, performing a lackluster kabedon.
Jaune was triumphant for a moment, then felt absolutely horrible for his action, and retracted his hand and mumbled an apology to Weiss without looking down. During a fraction of a second, Jaune looked to where Sun was, hoping to see his friend ready to help escape the wrath of an affronted huntress.
Alas, Jaune only saw the comical dotted outline of Sun in the spot where his traitorous friend once was, the monkey-tailed faunus having abandoned Jaune to his fate. Jaune gulped, then looked back at Weiss. Weiss was silent for an oppressive moment, then reached up to Jaune's tie, took hold of it, and swung him around with her signature grace.
Weiss looked absolutely enraged about what he just did! "And just WHAT do you think you're doing Jaune?!" Weiss said with seething anger.
"A ka-ka-kabedon!" Jaune stammered in terror. "A kabedon?" Weiss asked with a skeptical look on her face. Jaune nodded fiercely, hoping that remaining silent would make the inevitable violent reaction less painful.
"Is that so? Well, that was the saddest excuse for a kabedon I've ever seen!" "Oh, come on!" "Let me show you how it's done!" Weiss stated with determination, before using her grip on Jaune's tie to bring him down closer to her level, before she slammed her delicate fingers against the wall next to Jaune's head.
Jaune yelped, as Weiss pushed her near-perfect features closer to Jaune in a display of dominance, causing a deep blush to color the blonde's face.
"See, the point of a kabedon is to make the target a bit uncomfortable via a display of physical dominance. One must coincide a crowding of the target's face, with maintaining assertive eye contact." "Uh-huh. Ruh-right!"
"Now, you barely maintained eye contact, while keeping an unsatisfactory distance from me." Weiss continued to lecture Jaune.
"Next, your hand could not be referred to in this instance as having slammed against the wall. There has to be a certain amount of force, to make the best sound to draw the target's attention to you." "And I hesitated too much?" Jaune volunteered with hesitation. "Good. You're not a completely hopeless dunce." Weiss acknowledged the correct reasoning.
"Lastly, you need to utilize this action to get what you really want from the other person. And you failed to do this utterly, since you were too quick to apologize. No girl wants to have a kabedon be abandoned partway through." Weiss concluded her lecture, and looked Jaune square in the eyes to make sure he was paying attention. "Noted." Jaune affirmed his understanding.
"Good. Now I hope you don't bungle a kabedon this badly ever again. Understood?" Weiss ordered. Jaune nodded once more emphatically, to Weiss' satisfaction. Weiss then walked away from Jaune, her heels clacking against the floor of the hallway.
As Jaune began to calm down from the rush of being kabedon'd by Weiss after his own failed attempt, he drew a deep breath and called out to Weiss.
"Weiss!" Jaune yelled. Weiss stopped walking, but didn't turn around. "What, Jaune?" Weiss responded. "Well, I'm sorry I messed up so badly! I'll be sure to make this up to you! I'll never poorly execute a kabedon ever again!"
A moment passed, the silence pregnant with tension. The moment ended, and Weiss said something that caused Jaune's mind to shut down with shock.
"I'm glad you've learned your lesson. The next time you try a kabedon on me, I'll expect it to be better. After all, I wasn't satisfied with the one today. We can try again tomorrow." Jaune's eyes turned completely white and widened like saucers.
Weiss then walked off, a smug grin on her face unbeknownst to Jaune, and turned into team RWBY's dorm room. The door to team RWBY's dorm room closed with a soft click.
Jaune stood motionless for a minute. Weiss…actually wanted him to kabedon her again? Jaune blinked owlishly, then ran off elated to find Sun, wherever that traitor was, and tell him the great news.
In team RWBY's dorm room, Weiss put down her hand bag on her desk, and took out her reference book. She then turned to look over at the two others in the room, Blake and Sun.
The two faunus looked at Weiss expectantly. "So?" Blake asked. "Yeah, how'd it go? Did my man Jaune pull it off?" Sun questioned.
"Unfortunately, it was less than I'd hoped, so I taught him how to do it better." Weiss replied. "Thank you both for your help, when I read that novel at our last book club meeting the other day, I knew I just had to try it out." Weiss told Blake and Sun.
"And did you get what you wanted out of this?" Blake asked excitedly. Sun's scroll dinged, and he took it out to look at the notification. "Looks like Jaune is already planning the next kabedon." Sun told the girls.
Weiss smiled gently, and responded to Blake. "Naturally, I got what I wanted. After all, what's the point of a kabedon if you don't use it to get what you want?" Weiss said with the smile slowly growing larger as she began anticipating the next kabedon.
AN: Hey there, been a while huh? I hope you've enjoyed this chapter! You all definitely seemed to enjoy the second chapter. Life's been crazy for me for the last stretch of time. I'm not gonna make any excuses or anything about not putting up this chapter earlier. Anyways, this chapter was all about Weiss. Now, I picture Jaune being uncomfortable using a kabedon on Weiss, since he's afraid of her and he knows that he's annoyed her with his pursuit in the past. He's awkward, not a jerk. Weiss of course, would totally use a practical demonstration of a kabedon to teach someone how to do it properly. She loves proper. Also, I like to imagine Weiss and Blake being reading buddies, and Sun joining in for….reasons. Reason one: Blake. Reason two: Blake. That's enough talking about what my silly mind comes up with. Leave a review if you want to let me know your thoughts on the story. Keep your eyes peeled for the next chapter from me! -Mikainox
