"WHAT are you wearing?!" Yang shouted at Jaune, laughing at him as he walked into the airship that was going to take them down into Vale.
Jaune blushed a bit and stuck his hands into his Pumpkin Pete's hoodie. "I won this from a random drawing. I even put in 50 tickets!" He said throwing up his arms in exasperation.
"Well that's very bunny of you to say Jaune." Yang said with a snap of her fingers. With only a groan as a response she shrugged and pulled Jaune further into the airship to where she wanted to sit.
(~)
"Ugh, man do I hate airships...and boats...and fast vehicles..." Jaune said as he stumbled off of the airship onto solid ground.
Yang laughed at his expense and slapped him on the back pushing him forward. "Come on Vomit Boy, we have the whole night to ourselves. Let's have some fun!" Said Yang as she began to walk in a specific direction deeper into Vale.
Jaune just decided to follow her lead seeing how he didn't really know much of what Yang liked.
As the two walked they took in the sights around them. Multi-story brown stone apartments slightly off in the distance. A nice looking hotel that was near the airship station. A cheaper, not as nice, looking hotel a few blocks further down. A warehouse looking building that had strobe lights coming from it's windows that they were walking right towards-
"We're going to a club?!" Jaune said a bit surprised at the destination.
"Duh, of course we are. What else are we gonna do that's fun Jaune?" Yang said with a face that seemed to be asking if he was born yesterday.
"Well we could always go eat somewhere, or go to a park, maybe see a movie. I heard from Ren that there's a new coffee shop that's near the library." Jaune said pointing out many alternatives.
Yang stopped walking and looked at Jaune right in the eyes. "You know those are the kinds of places you would bring a date to right?" She said with a smirk.
"Are you trying to ask me out on a date?" She said with a wink teasing him.
"Huh, no I wasn't- I mean I'm not- that wasn't what I-..." Jaune tried to explain until he gave up. "Well wouldn't you also bring a date to a club!" he said trying to avert the attention from himself.
Yang let out a laugh. "Ho-ho Lover Boy I guess that's true too. You could probably name any place and say that's where you would bring a date though. I was just messing with you Jaune, besides I don't think you can handle all this Yang!" She finished with a twist of her hell and a strut in her step as she continued to the club.
Jaune just sighed as he dropped his head in a look of defeat and continued to follow Yang into this sort of shady looking club.
Once inside Jaune realised he should have kept his head up so he could pay attention to where Yang went, because currently all he could see was a mass of people on what he assumed was the dance floor with strobe lights constantly changing the colors around them. He must have looked hopelessly lost, because just then a girl wearing all white walked up to him and crossed her arms.
"Are you lost or what? This isn't a daycare you know." She said with a snarky tone in her voice.
"No, I just lost sight of my friend, I don't know where in here she went." Jaune replied back to her trying to be as polite as he could.
On hearing that he was indeed here on purpose and with a female, the girl quickly moved forward and wrapped herself around his arm. "Oh really? How about you describe your...friend and we'll go look for her together." She said with a hint of emphasis on the word together.
Before Jaune could speak though another voice spoke up. "I think she's a whole 5'8ft(1.73m) of Yangtastic fun, with some kickass clothes and a yearning for party!" Yang said coming from the side the girl in white was not hanging onto Jaune.
"Scram Malachite, he's mine." Yang said moving her thumb to tell her to leave.
The girl in white sneered at Yang and let go of Jaune. "We'll see what Junior has to say about this blondie!" She said.
As she walked off into the crowd of people Yang sidled up to the side the girl in white wasn't and hung onto him just like she had. "Seems like I have to keep an eye on you. Pyrrha would never forgive me otherwise." Yang said with mirth in her voice.
Jaune smiled a bit and let Yang lead him by the arm further into the club into a sort of bar looking area. It was mostly filled with older gentlemen who were drinking hard liquor.
As the two took seats they saw a big burly looking man come into the bar area and step behind the counter. He ignored all the other people seated and went straight for them, or more accurately, Yang.
"What are you doing her blondie? There's nothing new on your ma, so would you kindly leave this establishment." The big man said.
Yang scowled a bit at the man and for a second tightly gripped her right hand closed, but then relaxed and took on her usual smirk. "Don't worry Junior I ain't here for any of that, and I'm not here for a fight."
She put some lien on the counter and slid it towards him. "Tonight i'm a paying customer, and I would like two strawberry sunrises. Oh! and no ice!" She said smugly.
Junior frowned for a bit considering taking the money. Finally he let out a sigh and let the businessman in him take over. He took the lien from the counter, waved over a bartender and got their order on the way.
"So...I take it you two know each other?" Jaune said.
Yang turned to look at him and said, "He's an info broker as well as owner of this club/bar. I met him right before Beacon and I kinda...destroyed the club." She did an nervous chuckle and scratched the back of her head.
Jaune didn't say anything to that and just stared at her, and with a slowly growing smile said, "So you really did start the year of with a...Yang!"
The two of them were silent for a moment before they both broke down into fits of laughter.
In the middle of their laughing fit a bartender had snuck up on them and deposited the two strawberry sunrises. So once they stopped laughing they noticed the drinks in front of them.
"I know there's no mandatory school right now Yang but should you really be having two of those right now?" Jaune asked.
Yang put on a fake shocked look and gasped. "Jaune Arc! Do you believe that I would just brazenly go to a bar with a friend and NOT order him a drink to go with my own?" Yang said.
Jaune laughed at bit and now it was his turn to scratch his head. "I've never actually had an..alcoholic drink before Yang."
Yang casually waved her hand about. "It's fine there's really not much alcohol in this drink anyways."
Jaune, not one to distrust his friends, just shrugged and took one of the drinks. Yang patiently waited for him to take the first sip. Once he did his eyes shot wide open.
"This tastes sweet! Almost like cheesecake." Jaune said taking another sip.
Yang was positively glowing with happiness now that she had a drinking buddy, the best kind too(the one that drank what she liked).
8 Drinks Later
"I-I know you said there wasn't much alco...alcohol in this Yang, but i'm feeling a bit funny." Jaune said with a small laugh at the word funny.
"Oh please you light weight you're going to be fine. That massive aura of yours should be helping." Yang said and she took another drink for herself and passing one to Jaune.
Another 7 Drinks Later
"...and then I said, 'No! You find your own underwear!' and that's how I got my twin sister to stop wearing all my clothes." Jaune said with a wide smile.
'HAHAHAHAHA!" Yang was alight with joy as she heard Jaune's tale from his childhood.
To be honest Yang didn't think she'd have much fun with Jaune at the club, but she was glad that she was wrong. It got to take her mind off of everything that was bothering her.
It probably came about because she hadn't said anything after that, but Jaune suddenly turned to look and Yang and gave her a serious look.
"D-did you know that Pyrrha likes me?" jaune said.
Yang really wasn't expecting this and started to cough on her own saliva. "What?! You mean...like you as a friend right?" She said trying to cover for the red haired spartan and not let her secret out.
"No, I mean like-like...like Nora and Ren." Jaune said.
"But they're not together-together..." Yang was saying as she trailed off on the look Jaune gave her.
Ya they were totally together-together they just didn't want to admit it yet.
"W-what brought this out anyways Jaune?" Yang said trying to find a way out of the conversation without seeming like she was trying to.
"I...I don't know what to do." Jaune said with a slight slur in his voice. "I just...i just don't feel the same way about her. I mean I like her like as if she were one of my sisters but not like..." He said.
"Not like she feels for you." Yang said.
Jaune did a slight nod. "I'm not sure if she's even confusing what she feels for me as familial love though. As far as I know she doesn't have any sibling, and she's not that close with her parents." He explained.
Yang didn't know what to say anymore so she decided to put down the lien she owed for the drink and start to pick Jaune up off the bar. With an arm slung around each other they made their slow trek back to the airships.
"What would you do Yang?" Jaune asked.
Yang was silent for a moment. "You should just...tell her. If you already know it would be just like leading her on." Yang said.
Jaune nodded and turned to look right at her. "Y-you know Yang," hic, "you're a really great friend. Anyone guy you decide to be with will probably be really happy with you. I know I would."
Yang stopped dead in her tracks. Jaune didn't notice however and tried to keep going which resulted in him falling on the floor.
"Oh jeez! Sorry Jaune...Jaune?" Yang asked. When she bent down to flip him over she realized he was out cold, and with no likely chance of waking him up.
"Jeez Jaune, isn't it the guy who's supposed to carry the girl home." She said with a grunt and lifted him into her arms.
As she made her way to the airships and was boarding a ship back to Beacon she thought back on what Jaune said.
'You dummy, how can you say that to a girl and not expect a reaction!' She thought to herself, and promised to punch Jaune when he was conscious for making her blush.
