Jaune had just stepped off of the airship and made his way to the nearest trash can. He then proceeded to empty his lunch into the can.
"I. Hate. Flying!"
It had been a week since Jaune was released from the infirmary. His arm was still in a sling but the bandages around his head have been removed.
He was wearing his black hoodie and jeans.
Coco had sent him a message, telling him to meet her at the air docks in Vale. Jaune agreed and was now sitting on a bench, waiting for Coco.
"I wonder where she is?" Jaune asked as something covered his eyes.
"Guess who." A female voice from behind Jaune said.
Jaune tapped his chin for a second in thought before answering. "Coco puff?"
This earned him a punch in his good shoulder. "I told you not to call me that!" Coco said annoyed.
Coco was wearing her normal combat attire except for the ammo belt and corset.
Jaune laughed. "Sorry, couldn't help it. So, what did you need?"
"First, follow me." Coco gestured for Jaune to follow her.
Jaune got up and followed her to a nearby parking lot. They stopped in front of an expensive looking black and gold colored car (2008 Bugatti 16/4 Veyron Pur Sang). Coco pulled out a set of car keys and pressed a button. The black and gold car's lights flashed briefly.
"Get in." Coco said as she got in the driver's seat.
Jaune just stood there with his mouth hanging open.
Coco noticed this and laughed at his expression. "Are you coming or what?"
Jaune shook his head and quickly got into the passenger seat. He sat down and strapped himself in.
Coco started the car and then slammed her foot on the gas pedal. The wheels screeched on the pavement before they took off, speeding out of the parking lot and down the road.
The car came to a screeching stop on the side of the road. Coco stepped out of the car followed by a shaky Jaune. Coco made her way around to Jaune and placed a blindfold over his eyes. "No peeking." She told him.
Jaune felt Coco grab his hand and begin leading him somewhere. Her hands were surprisingly soft.
"We're here." Jaune heard Coco say as she removed his blindfold.
In front of him was a small building with a bright neon sign that read. Rito's karaoke bar.
Coco lead Jaune inside and where greeted by a skinny man with golden brown eyes, orange hair, wearing a white dress shirt and jeans.
Coco placed some money in the man's hand and he proceeded flip the open sign on the door to read closed. The man then walked through a door and closed it behind him.
Jaune looked a Coco confused.
"I bought this place out for a little while." Coco answered.
Jaune continued to look at her confused. "How come?"
"Be-because I wanted to hear you sing." Coco answered Jaune quietly while looking away form him.
"I, uh..." Jaune started to say.
"Please, it's just me here. The manager is in the back and he won't be able hear you. You said anything, right?" Coco said grabbing Jaune's hand.
Jaune sighed. "Okay, if that's what you want." Jaune agreed.
Coco smiled brightly and lead him up onto the stage. She handed Jaune the mic, turned on the karaoke machine and selected a song. She then sat down at the nearest table to the stage as the music started to play.
Start (It has to be this way (platinum mix-instrumental))
Jaune stood there as the music played, waiting for his cue to start. He took a deep breath to calm himself.
Standing here
I realize
You are just like me
Trying to make history
But who's to judge
The right from wrong
When our guard is down
I think we'll both agree
That violence breeds violence
But in the end it has to be this way
Coco sat at the table with her head resting in her hands with a smile on her face.
She could have had Jaune treat her to a nice dinner or maybe taken him along to go clothes shopping and had him pay for everything. But this was in her opinion much better.
I've carved my own path
You followed your wrath
But maybe we're both the same
The world has turned
And so many have burned
But nobody is to blame
Yet staring across this barren wasted land
I feel new life will be born
Beneath the blood stained sand
Beneath the blood stained sand
End (It has to be this way (platinum mix-instrumental))
Coco began clapping as Jaune stepped off of the stage and made his way to her table.
"You were awesome!" Coco greeted Jaune as he sat down across from her.
"I wasn't that good." He said scratching the back of his head embarrassed.
"You're too modest Jaune. I think you have a lovely singing voice." Coco reassured Jaune.
"Th-thanks Coco." Jaune thanked her with a blush on his face.
"You could probably give Ice Queen a run for her money."
"I highly doubt that." Jaune said with a frown.
"Whatever you say Jaune. Do you want something to drink?" Coco asked.
"Sure."
Coco pressed the call button on the table.
"May I take your orders?" A robotic voice asked from behind Coco.
Jaune had kind of a scared expression on his face as he starred past Coco.
Coco noticed this and gave him a worried look. "You okay Jaune?" She asked.
Jaune didn't respond.
Coco turned around to see what he was staring at to see a cheap looking servant droid standing behind her. It took her a second to realize what was bothering Jaune.
"Could you please go away and send another person to take our orders?" She asked the droid.
"As you wish." The droid responded before walking away.
Jaune seemed to relax a bit and Coco took his hand into her own. "Are you okay?" She asked in a concerned tone.
"Yeah, sorry about that. Not sure what happened there" Jaune apologized.
The manager walked to the table and apologized. "I'm sorry for whatever that droid did."
"It's fine. Could we get one black chocolate coffee and..." Coco waited for Jaune to speak.
"Um, I'll just have a glass of water."
With that the manager left to get their drinks.
Jaune and Coco talked for a while. Coco found out that he has seven sisters.
"Seven sisters? Wow, you're parents were busy."
Jaune laughed nervously at this.
Jaune learned that Coco needed eye glasses to see but she wanted to look cool so she got prescription sunglasses. She also wore sunglasses because she didn't like the color of her eyes.
"I think your eyes are beautiful." Jaune told her.
"you're just saying that."
"No, I really mean it." He said as he removed her glasses. "They're beautiful.
Coco blushed brightly as she put her glasses back on. "Thank you." She thanked him shyly.
They continued to talk until they figured it was about time to leave.
Coco brought Jaune back to the air docks.
"Thank you for today Jaune." Coco thanked Jaune.
"No, thank you. I had fun." Jaune thanked her back.
They stood there for a minute before Coco decided to speak again.
"I'm leaving for a mission with my team tonight." Coco told Jaune.
"Oh, well I wish you luck on your mission."
Coco looked at him a little nervously. "I'll be back in about a week and I was hoping that we could do something like this again when I get back." Coco wondered while twiddling her thumbs.
Jaune smiled. "I think that would be great."
Coco smiled at Jaune. "It's a date then."
"Yeah, it's a da-what?" Jaune was interrupted when he felt something soft pressed against his lips.
Coco pulled away and licked her lips with a smile. She then walked away swaying her hips a bit as she did. "See you then."
"Yeah, see you then." Jaune said as he placed a hand on his lips watching her walk away.
Sorry, I keep having Jaune sing songs from the Revengeance soundtrack. It's just such a good soundtrack.
And yeah the cartoon is Code Lyoko. I've been watching a lot of Code Lyoko lately.
