Jaune was sitting on his bed, looking at the girls before him. They were staring at him intently. He didn't know what to do. Is this happening? He was going to say something, but Nora interrupted him.
Nora raised her hand to stop Jaune from speaking before saying, "I know what you're thinking, Jaune. Yes, this is real, and we are all in love with you. Yes, it was my idea to share you with the others. And yes, if you want to continue where we left off before we came to the cafeteria that day, I don't mind. I've been thinking of a way for us to continue that for a while now."
Jaune had his mouth wide open. He said, "Right, that answered many of my questions. But I do have one that hasn't been answered. Since when have you guys been interested in me?"
Nora was the first to answer. She said, "I started having feelings for you a month after we got to know each other. I'm not like my people. I'm overly excited about many things. Nonsense things. It drives people away. It has happened many times before. However, you, Jaune, did not only not find me annoying, but you would join in on my ridiculousness. At first, it was a small crush, but I started feeling more after getting to know you more."
Jaune asked, "If you felt that way, why didn't you tell me?"
Nora shook her head, "I couldn't. You were very infatuated with Weiss at that time. I was afraid of rejection."
Jaune grabbed Nora and hugged her while kissing her on top of her head. He looked at the others and asked, "How about you guys? When did you start liking me?"
Blake was the one that spoke, saying, "I first got interested in you when you helped Velvet. At first, I was merely curious about why you helped her. Remember, I asked you about it. You said it was the right thing to do. Then I asked you what you think about Faunus.
You answered, 'Is there any difference between us? We are both hunted by Grimm, both bleed and sweat. Besides, I don't understand what other people's problems are. I always wanted to have a cat or a dog eat since it would help me know when my sister would come to my room to drag me for dress-up time.'
But I was still only curious at this point. It wasn't until you headed to Vale a month later that I finally started having feelings for you. When I saw you helped those poor Faunus kids, I thought, 'If there were anyone I wanted to be with in the future, it would be someone like you.' Like Nora, I couldn't ask you due to your infatuation with Weiss."
Jaune looked at Blake and said, "That's…wow…So, you've been stalking me?"
Blake blushed and said in a stammer, "W-What! I-I was n-not s-stalking you! I-I was m-merely d-doing a-an observation!"
Jaune laughed. This is the first time he's seen this side of Blake. It was cute.
Lei was next to speak, saying, "I started getting interested in you not long after Nora. When we first became a team, I was cautious of you. We dealt with many horrible men when Nora and I were growing up. It is the reason why I ended up pretending to be one. Initially, I thought you had an ulterior motive whenever you followed Nora's enthusiasm. She is a person that was touchy when she was happy, and I thought you might be taking advantage of that.
Who would have thought that it would be the other way around? Which you probably did not notice. Whenever Nora was hugging you, she would secretly cop a feel of your ass. Anyway, I digress. When I stopped being cautious around you, I started thinking about what kind of a great guy you were.
Honestly, I didn't know when I started falling for you. Whenever you and Nora were together having fun without me, I would feel jealous. At first, I thought it was because Nora you were spending so much time with Nora, but that was not the case. Whenever you asked Weiss out, a voice in my head would say, 'I want to be that girl right now.'
Since then, I would use our guys' night out to get alone time with you. I feel my heart at peace whenever I'm with you, Jaune. I don't have to use my semblance to control my emotions."
Jaune caressed Lei's cheeks and kissed her forehead, "I'm glad you are at peace around me."
Nora raised her hand and said, "Oh! Jaune, you probably don't know this, but whenever Lei would get nightmares in the middle of the night, she would sneak into your bed and hug you!"
Lei blushed hard and shouted, "Nora!"
Nora blew a raspberry at Lei, "You started it! Why did you tell Jaune I would cop a feel of his ass? It's true, but I didn't want to know that! This is revenge!"
Lei and Nora glared at each other, but the next moment, they were both laughing.
Ruby started jumping and said, "Oh! Me next!"
Jaune said to Ruby, "Go on, crater face. Let's hear it."
Ruby giggled, "Funny you should say that because it was our first meeting that I had a crush on you. When you helped me, I thought you were like a knight in shining armor, like the stories my mom used to tell me. When I was down after my fight with Weiss after being leader, you were there to tell me how wrong she was and that I could be a great leader if given a chance. I thought you were cool back then.
Even when I knew you weren't all that strong in Combat Class, I thought you were great. Whenever Cardin beat you, you would keep getting up no matter what. Then during the Forever Fall trip. When Cardin was bullying you, you did not let that influence you when the Ursa Major attacked them. You stood up to the Grimm and protected him. To me, you looked like a hero.
You might think I'm just idolizing you, but I'm not. I realized that during the dance. When I was in the corner alone, I felt awkward and wanted to leave. But when you arrived, I felt like you and I were the only ones there. My heart felt like it wanted to leap out of my chest.
I want to jump and kiss you, but you told me to hold your punch which I drank as an indirect kiss. Then I thought, 'I want to be more than your friend.' To cool my head before doing something I would regret, I went by the window. Well, you know the rest of what happened that night."
Jaune's eye twitched, and said, "Seriously? I missed out on such a thing?"
Ruby giggled, pulled Jaune's shirt, and kissed him passionately. If one looks to the side of Ruby, there would be a red-eyed Yang.
Ruby said, "Now you got the kiss I wanted to give you then."
Nora said, "Oh, momma! Ruby, you're bolder than I thought!"
Ruby smiled adorably.
The next one to tell speak was Pyrrha. She said, "I already told you this during that dance, but let me repeat it. I've been blessed with incredible talents and opportunities. I'm constantly surrounded by love and praise, but when you're placed on a pedestal like that for so long, you become separated from the people that put you there in the first place.
Everyone assumes I'm too good for them. That I'm on a level they can't attain. It's become impossible to form any meaningful relationships with people. That's what I like about you. When we met, you didn't even know my name. You treated me just like anyone else. Even when you learned who I was, I was still merely Pyrrha to you. And thanks to you, I've made friendships that will last a lifetime. You're the kind of guy I want to be with—someone who just saw me for me."
Jaune gave Pyrrha a reassuring smile, but that was not enough for Pyrrha. Like Ruby, She pulled Jaune in a kiss but was not as bold as Ruby. Thus, she only gave him a simple kiss.
Weiss hmphed in jealousy. She wanted to kiss Jaune too!
Jaune said, "Weiss, is everything okay?"
Weiss sighed. She then said, "My turn to tell you how I feel…Originally, I thought you were an okay guy, but I became annoyed when you started asking me out. It's not you. It's me. You see, back at Atlas, I have many suitors. They would use sweet words when speaking to me. However, they are nothing more than lies. They were never interested in me, only in my name, fame, and fortune.
It was stupid of me, I know. I saw you as if you were just like those men at Atlas. Which you aren't. You are the sweetest and most caring guy I know. But it was hard for me to eliminate my prejudice towards men. I thought I had quite a discerning eye, but I fell for Neptune's honey-coated words.
During the dance, you had the chance to ask me out, and I probably would have said yes. Yet, you decided to help me get with Neptune. It might have turned out horribly, but your intentions were pure. You just wanted me to be happy.
And when I broke up with Neptune, you still refused to ask me out on a date until you saw that I was over Neptune and ready to start dating again. Let me tell you, the moment you smacked Neptune around to help me vent my anger, I realized how stupid I was.
When you wailed on him, I thought, 'How could I have ever passed on a guy like Jaune for someone like Neptune?' When you said, you were unwilling to use my vulnerable state to get a date with me. My heart skipped a bit then; I realized it was not just a fleeting feeling I felt for you."
Jaune rubbed Weiss' head and nothing more. He wanted to tease her after a bit. He already saw that she was expecting a kiss.
Weiss was shocked that Jaune was only patting her head. She looked down in disappointment but felt Jaune's fingers on her chin, lifting her head. Not long after Jaune lifted her head, she felt him kiss her. It made her giddy.
Now, only one person was remaining. Yang looked at Jaune, crossed her arms, and said, "What? I'm not interested in you romantically…"
Ruby and the others deadpan her, which caused her to flinch and say, "Okay, maybe I have a little interest in you when I found out you were quite a great dance partner at a club. T-That doesn't mean I want to join your harem or anything!"
Ruby facepalmed. It seemed she was going to have to help her sister. She said, "Really? If that's true, why did I hear you in your sleep the other saying, 'Oh, Jaune? Of course, I'll marry you. I don't mind it if Ruby and the others join us.' Do you want me to continue?"
Yang blushed hard. She said, "Is it wrong to like a guy because he treats my baby sis like a princess? Growing up, I had people befriending Ruby to get to me. Like Weiss, I was prejudiced when it came to boys friending Ruby. Immediately in my head, I thought you were trying to get to me.
But when you kept spending more time with Ruby, I realized that you were not trying to use her. I like what I saw. It was like they say, 'Curiosity killed the cat.' I would sometimes follow you and Ruby to Vale. I liked what I saw. You were making her very happy. You even spent all the money you had to try and get her that Grimm Beowolf plushy.
Then the dance rolled around, and you did that dance with your team. I thought, 'Damn, Jaune's like my perfect man. Kind and makes Ruby happy and knows how to have fun.' I know I don't have such an amazing story of how I started liking you, but…."
Jaune shook his head and said, "I won't say that, Yang. People have different reasons for falling in love with someone. Yours is just as valid as everyone else's."
Rather than Jaune pulling Yang into a hug, she pulled him for a hug. She said, "You kissed most of the girls. But I want to be different!"
Yang took Jaune's hand and placed it on her ass. He squeezed it and said, "Nice ass, but it's got nothing on me!"
Nora then said, "You got that right! Jaune's got the perfect ass! And ain't no one going to say otherwise!"
Jaune then said, "So? How do we move on here?"
Nora said, "We already all agreed that we will share you! And that's what we are going to do! From this day forth! We are going to be known as Jaune's girlfriends."
No one object.
In the room, a little girl was watching with wide eyes. She thought, 'Did I just witness someone making a harem?'
She could not believe her eyes.
