Boy meets Boy???
I'm a inconsistent writer so expect sporatic updates.
This is a Jaune in Natsuverse story so expect shenanigans, light heartedness, and the most important skill in any Fate story the Harem Protagonist EX Rank Skill.
As Jaune was falling into the void beneath him one thought entered his mind 'At the very least let me live the life I've always wanted.'
..."F-"
..."Fa-"
..."Fa- s-"
... "Fare sir?"
Slowly opening his eye Jaune was face to face with a young, yet feminine, boy who had a weary expression that lit up when he blinked.
Sitting up Jaune looked around him and saw the boy???, who had been crouched down, standing next to a person in a white robe covering their face.
"Are thou well?" The boy asked worried for his well being.
Getting up Jaune looked around and saw he was in a woodland area next to a dirt road and patted himself and felt fine except for the fact memories from before his fall flashed through his mind.
"Yes I would say so." He said trying to put up a reassuring face while trying to suppress any form of saddness from leaking out.
Noticing his discomfort the person in the white robes spoke "Well now that sir knight is confirmed to be well let us head over to the sword in the stone Arthur." The person said in a calm yet warm voice.
Nodding the now named Arthur??? was about to follow until he??? heard Jaune speak.
"Wear the hell am I?" He said earning a confused look from Arthur???
"What do you mean?" Arthur??? asked in confusion.
Looking at Arthur for a moment Jaune looked around and heard cheers and groans deeper into the woods and spoke "I have no clue as to where I am." He said earning a head tilt from Arthur???.
"The lords of Briton have decided to hold a jousting tournament to decided who shall lead the lords of Briton against the usurper Vortigern." Arthur??? said clenching his??? fists.
Noticing Arthur's??? action Jaune said nothing before asking "If this is a jousting tournament then why are you both here instead of watching to see who will win?"
Going stiff Arthur??? didn't say anything before the person in the white robes spoke "Follow us to our destination and you'll see." They said before walking away with Arthur following them.
Not knowing what they ment Jaune decided to follow them to a church with a sword stabbed into a stone rock.
Seeing the sword in the stone Jaune was confused before asking the two a question "What's with the sword stabbed into that stone?" He said before walking over to the sword to look closer at it.
Chuckling the person in the robes walked close to it with Arthur??? following behind while mesmerized.
"That sword was placed into the stone by the Fae sent by the Court Mage of the previous King of Briton to prove that the one who pulls the sword from the stone is the rightful heir to the King." They said as Arthur??? looked intently at the sword.
Listening to the person's words Jaune looked at the sword feeling a sensation with his aura before turning the person in the robes.
"Is that all?" He asked feeling unsure of the story.
"Why yes the only person that may lift the sword is the rightful heir." They said before chuckling "If you think it to be a false tale then you may try to pull it out yourself." They said with mirth while Arthur??? looked at the person with disapproval while Jaune placed his hands in the hilt.
"Merlin you know that you shouldn't try to make people do things for your own amusement." Arthur??? said giving Merlin a disappointed look.
Laughing Merlin placed a slender hand on Arthur's??? head and rubbed it before they were momentarily blinded by a white light.
Jaune P.O.V
As I held my hands around the sword's hilt to try and take it out I felt my aura get pulled into my hands before a voice spoke in my mind.
'Doth thou wish to become the King of Briton.'
Confused I thought of an answer 'I don't really want to be a king.'
'Why hath thou attempted to pull the sword from thyn hold,.
Thinking silently on why I thought about answer 'The person in the robes asked me if I wanted to try and pull you out.'
'Thou doth not have the King's blood yet thou's soul is pure yet darkened by regret.'
Not thinking anything I closed my eyes shut before answering 'I wanted to become a huntsman to help people all my life because of stories my father told me in my youth, but I was rejected the training to become my body was weak.' Stopping to open my eyes I continued 'I faked my way to become a huntsman and met people who I care immensely for.' Stopping my train of thought I gripped the hilt tightly causing the sword to move slightly drawing in a gasp.
'I lost those I called friends and those who I loved.' I thought remembering the day Beacon fell and my partner kissing me before sending me away in a locker rocket.
'I let myself be controlled by my anger and grief.' I thought back to the nights I spent training alone with video's of Pyrrha until I could no longer feel anything.
'I charged recklessly towards the person who killed my partner and almost lost a friend due to my blind anger.' I thought remembering the feeling of hopelessness when I saw Weiss get impaled by a spear.
'Before I woke up around her I took the life of a friend who trusted me to end her life so that our friend could take on the person who caused the fall of Beacon on equal grounds.' I thought seeing my families ancestral blade bloodied as I stabbed it into Penny who smiled at me as a form of reassurance.
Throughout my conversation with the mysterious voice tears formed on my face while Arthur??? and Merlin while saw my aura was shining around me while the sword also glowed in response to my thoughts.
'Thou hath experienced hardships many of man would crumble under.'
'Thou hath seen the cruelty of man and hath experienced the flickering light of human mortality.'
As the voice spoke in my mind the sword that was said to only be able to be lifted by the heir of the previous King of Briton slowly got wedged out of the stone.
'Thou may not have the blood of the previous King of Briton thou have the heart and soul of the Titan that holds the sky Atlas.'
'For thou hath knowledge of the weight of immoral actions and the will to commit thyself to hold such weight.'
Slowly the sword was pulled out until the tip was the only part left inside the stone. As my aura and the swords glow blinded Arthur??? and Merlin it drew the attention of Lords and Knights who had seen the light promoting them to leave the jousting arena to see what was causing the light.
'Thou art worthy of wielding the Sword of Selection Caliburn.'
With that statement the Sword of Selection was pulled out and released a bright gold light blinding Arthur???, Merlin, and those who had come see what the light was.
3rd P.O.V
As Jaune held Caliburn in his hands the Lords and Knights that went to see the light cheered that the Sword of Selection had declared the new King of Briton.
Seeing him pull out the sword Arthur??? stared wide eyed at Jaune holding Caliburn.
Being taught by Merlin Arthur??? was told they were King Uther Pendragon's son that was trusted by Merlin to teach all that was need to be king until they came of age to take the Sword of Selection from the stone and unite all of Briton.
Whilst on the way to the Sword of Selection Arthur??? had come across a knight??? who was sleeping on the grass next to the path to path to the Sword of Selection. Choosing to check on the knight??? Arthur??? and Merlin checked him to see if he had any injuries only for him to wake up as Arthur??? went to check to see if he had any head injuries only for him to wake up as Arthur??? moved to see his face.
Watching him look around in confusion and question the two about were he was Arthur had been worried that the knight??? had received a head injury before they had found him. After answering his questions Merlin known for they're mischief told the knight??? to follow after not believing that told him to follow the two to the Sword of Selection and playfully told the knight??? to attempt to pull the sword from the stone.
As the two watched him slowly pull out the sword after being blinded by the sudden showing of light from the knight??? the two saw Caliburn glow gold in response to the white glow the knight??? emitted. Hearing the rushing of footsteps Arthur??? was about to turn until they saw tears well up in the knights??? with a pained expression plastered on his face before hearing him utter words that were filled with sorrow "I'm sorry I wasn't strong enough to help you."
Wanting to understand what he said Arthur??? moved closer to comfort him before at last the knight??? pulled out the sword from it's confinement drawing in cheers from the Lords and Knight who had arrived to bare witness to the knight??? pull out the sword and look at it with conflicting emotions.
"Arthur are you fine?" Merlin spoke trying to get Arthur??? of a trance from watching the unknown knight??? pull out the sword.
"I am fine Merlin." Arthur??? said with a small smile watching the knight get surrounded by the Lords and knights before declaring a feast for the new King of Briton.
Looking at Arthur??? Merlin felt his??? emotions and saw Joy, happiness, sadness, but most importantly Relief. Staring at the new king Merlin felt their emotion and saw confusion and fear.
Looking at him one more time before turning to Arthur??? Merlin held out a hand "Let us help the new King of Briton." Merlin said before walking over alongside Arthur??? to congratulate the new King.
A/N: I'm inconsistent on updating so please understand that while I could update a large amount of chapters my interests and attention could wonder off and make me forget to update and make more chapters.
Please tell me what you think and what direction this story might go.
