Heart to Heart

Chapter 16: First Date

Weiss yawned as she stretched out as the morning son woke her up. She checked the time and found it was time to get up. She sat up in the bed and looked around, Blake and Ruby were still asleep but she noticed that Yang's bed was empty. It did look as though Yang had been in it but maybe she had woken up early?

With a shrug Weiss took this chance to get into the bathroom first, Yang usually took the longest so it was always good to get in before her. By the time she had dried and changed Blake was already up and switching with her. Weiss went over to Ruby's bed seeing her partner and friend snuggling up with that teddy bear again. She sighed and shook her head, even now, Ruby still acted in a childish manner, even in her sleep but then again that was just part of who she was.

"Ruby time to get up." Weiss shook her.

Ruby muttered something only to turn on her side.

Weiss sighed, "Oh look they just made a fresh batch of chocolate chip cookies."

"Wha?" A groggy Ruby looked up.

Weiss shook her head, she had learned that trick from Yang when the elder sister got Ruby up a few times when Ruby had a hard time getting up in the morning back at Beacon. Weiss picked the girl up, helping her up off her bed.

"Come on, time to get up."

"Okay," Ruby yawned, then blinked a few times. "Are Yang and Blake up?"

"I think so, Blake's already in the shower and I think Yang got up early?" Weiss wasn't sure on the last part. Ruby gave a halfhearted answer as Weiss helped to wake her up.

After some showering and changing the girls left their room to see Oscar already up, this wasn't a surprise as they had gotten used to the young boy being up early as he had explained he was used to getting up with the dawn.

"Morning," He said as the others replied.

Weiss was the first to the stairs as she wondered what they were going to do today. She and the rest of her friends were a little worried about the weird atmosphere between Jaune and Yang. It wasn't like they could force something to happen but it was a little on edge with everyone that knew what was going on.

"You think Yang's going to be okay?" A worried Ruby asked.

"I think so," Weiss answered. "She just needs…"

She trailed off as she suddenly stopped on the stairs as Blake ran into her back from her suddenly stopping.

"Weiss, what's goi-" Blake didn't finish as Weiss make a quiet motion and then pointed to her left.

They were confused before they looked and there on the couch was Jaune sleeping there but he wasn't alone. Yang was on top of him cuddling up against him both of them looked very peaceful and the scene was just too perfect.

"When did this happen?" Oscar asked in a hushed tone.

"Last night?" Blake said unsure of the answer. She had been told that Yang had gone to Jaune but he hadn't given her an answer. Apparently, something must have happened last night to change it, at least she hoped it had.

"Hey what's going on?" Nora's voice from the top of the steps came out suddenly.

They all turned to see Nora with Ren and Kali there as they were making their way down to get breakfast started. All four of those on the ground floor turned to her with a whispering gesture. The new comers blinked as slowly they came down and when they did they were surprised by the sight on the couch.

"Oh, that's just adorable," Kali cooed. "Reminds me of when Ghira and myself first started seeing each other."

"They look so good," Ruby gushed. "Anyone have their scroll?"

"Ruby!" Weiss hissed at her.

"What? She'd do the same to me," Ruby whispered back.

"Got it," Nora grinned as she started to take pictures.

Jaune groaned as he felt something on the edge of his consciousness. He shifted slightly but something was on him. He groaned as he blinked his eyes open to see a ceiling of the living room. For a moment, he was wondering why he was downstairs but the feel of Yang's body and her soft breathing made him remember what happened last night.

He looked down to see her golden mane of hair as he had to smile, he couldn't believe that he had agreed to date her but on the other hand a part of him felt nice.

"Morning," A voice said to his left.

Jaune's eyes widened as he quickly looked and saw that they were not alone. Standing not far away there were Ruby and Weiss having huge smiles on their faces, Blake was grinning as Nora was bouncing on her feet in excitement. Kali was standing with looking with adoring eyes at them like a person would look at something adorable. Ren just stood there with his arms crossed with a smile as Oscar looked a little bashful at the scene almost as if he wanted at least to give them some privacy.

"Uh…Yang?" He nudged the girl.

Yang's brow furrowed as she groaned and turned her head the other way and tried to snuggle deeper into him.

"Yang." He pleaded a bit louder.

"Let me sleep," Yang told him.

"We really should get up now," Jaune urged her.

"You're too comfy," She replied.

This only caused him to blush as a few of the others were holding back some laughter.

"We're not alone," Jaune told her nudging her again.

"What do you mean we're not…" She had pushed herself up and noticed that they had fallen asleep on the couch and then noticed they weren't alone like he had said. She felt her cheeks heat up, as this was not the way she wanted to tell the others that she was now dating him. "Oh…uh, hi?"

"So what happened?" Nora rushed forward with expecting eyes like a kid awaiting a present.

"Well we talked last night and, well we're dating," Yang shrugged as best she could in the position she was in.

"That's so great!" Nora shouted out. "We can go on double dates and everything!"

"Who's going on double dates?" Qrow's voice called out from the stairs. He had heard some kind of commotion and what he hadn't expected was to see most of the household gathered in the living room and his niece straddling Jaune on the couch.

He paused a moment looking at the situation, "Mind telling me what's going on?"

"Oh uh, well the thing is," Jaune gulped, he had no idea what Qrow would feel about the whole thing, also this wasn't exactly the best position for them to be in either.

Yang sat up getting off Jaune as he did the same, they were sitting next to each other and Yang slid her hand into his. "Well the thing is, we're going to start dating."

Qrow blinked, as he wasn't sure he heard that right but looking at them he was surprised. "How long was I asleep for?"

He had no idea that his niece even liked the guy but there they were. For a moment, Qrow had a flashback to how Tai and Raven had looked when they had told the team they were dating. It was a bit different but it reminded him of that day. He had to admit, Tai was his best friend and while he didn't want to know anything about his sister's sex life, he was glad that they had gotten together.

Raven seemed better when she had been with Tai, at least for while it lasted.

Seeing his niece now, he could see the same look her mother had. Qrow just shrugged and went to the kitchen. "So what's for breakfast?"

"Huh…I was expecting something else," Ruby asked blinking.

"Yeah I was kind of expecting something else too," Jaune was thankful about it though, he had images of the man coming at him with his scythe.

What they didn't know was that while Qrow had known that his niece had flirted a lot while Signal she had never had a decent boyfriend. He had gotten to know Jaune on the trip and while he could see the boy was still hurting deep inside he cared for those around him. He was a good kid and he had a feeling he would treat Yang right, plus he owed him for helping to save his life when he had been poisoned.

Of course that didn't get the boy out of a talk he planned on having with him the first chance he got. This was family business after all and while he would be the first to admit he wasn't the most responsible adult, he cared for what happened to both Yang and Ruby. Those girls meant the world to him and were the closest things to having kids he might ever have in his life. Oh yeah, Jaune was going to get a talk that was sure, he was patient and he could wait for the prime time to get the boy alone.

"I think we should shower and change," Yang got up taking Jaune by the hand if only to get out of the room. She normally liked being the center of attention but this wasn't exactly the kind of attention she would like.

"Be sure it's separate showers," Qrow called out.

Yang and Jaune froze as Yang turned around quickly with a blushing face as she looked both mortified and outraged. "Qrow! We haven't even gotten far enough for that!"

"Just making sure Tai doesn't end up a grandfather on my watch," he replied with a smirk.

"You are the absolute worst!" she marched off with Jaune in tow.

Qrow only smirked with a chuckle as Ruby glared her uncle.

"Really?" Ruby sighed at him.

"Oh don't pretend that reaction wasn't funny," Qrow told her.

Upstairs Yang was blushing up a storm, she could dish it out but she couldn't take it when someone teased her back like that. Jaune hadn't seen this side of Yang before, he had to admit, it was kind of cute to see. He stopped though as soon as Yang got to the door.

"Yang, that's your room." He warned her.

Yang blinked realizing she was about to pull him into the room with her. She had been so worked up she hadn't even been thinking. She let go of his hand as she started to play with her hair a bit, a nervous habit she had at times.

"Sorry, I was all riled up and wasn't thinking."

"It's okay," he assured her although now he had the mental image in his head of Yang in the shower with her and quickly pushed that aside. It was too soon in their relationship to start thinking about that, at least he thought it was, he wasn't sure exactly what the rules where here on that.

"Hey Yang," He said getting her attention. "I want to take you out tonight."

"Oh?" Yang smirked as she wrapped her arms around the back of his neck. "Starting off right away huh?"

"Well we don't have much time before we leave and I want us to have some dates before then," Jaune could feel her up against his chest and his hands went to her sides. The top she wore left her lower torso exposed as his hands ran gently along her sides.

"Sounds good to me," she replied. "You got something planned?"

"Uh, well," Jaune blanked he had a vague idea but he wasn't sure. This was his first real date but his mind quickly started to plan for something although he might need some help. "I think I can come up with something."

"Well looking forward to it Lover Boy," She smirked.

"Is that my new nick name now?" It was a bit embarrassing but at least it was better than Vomit Boy.

"Maybe," She teased. "Then again you've gotten further with me than any other guy."

"Wait, really?" Jaune blinked in confusion.

Yang put on an offended act, "Sleep with me two nights in a row and see me in my underwear isn't enough? I'm not that easy you know."

"W-we weren't even dating then," Jaune blushed at the memory. "Plus don't say it like that."

He quickly looked around in a hushed tone. "What if someone heard that? They would totally get the wrong idea about it."

"Oh relax they're all downstairs," Yang patted his shoulder. "Well then, I'm going to shower and I'll be looking forward to our date."

-Later-

Jaune had a few things he needed to take care of for tonight, he was actually pretty nervous as this was his first real date in his life and he wanted it to go well. First, though he needed some help and the only ones he could get help were thankfully here at the moment. Out back behind the house, he saw team SSSN. Apparently, they wanted to get in some training with them before they left for Vacuo.

The big guy Sage, Jaune didn't know well, he was kind of a quiet type like Ren used to be when they first met. Currently he was facing off against Nora while Ren was facing the other one Jaune didn't know too well, Scarlet.

Sun and Neptune were off to the side watching which was perfect for Jaune as he wanted to talk to them. They were the ones he knew best of all anyway so they would be easier to talk to.

"Hey guys." Jaune came up to them.

"Yo, Jaune what's up man?" Sun smiled at him always a guy that would warmly welcome a person.

"I, uh…I need some advice," Jaune rubbed the back of his neck. "See I got a date with Yang tonight-"

He didn't even get to finish before Neptune looked at him with shock.

"Wait-what!?" Neptune turned to Sun. "When did this happen?"

"Last night apparently," Sun shrugged, Blake had filled him in earlier in the day he faced Jaune again. "Congratulations man."

"Thanks," Jaune smiled at it, it still felt strange being with Yang but it was the first day after all.

"I didn't even know you were going after her," Neptune told him and then thought about it. "Man what's your secret?"

"I wasn't really after her," Jaune said slightly embarrassed. "I mean it just kind of happened. I still don't know how it happened but she just came up to me and told me that she liked me."

"Damn," Neptune nodded his head. "Well played, letting the girl come to you."

"Forget him," Sun said slightly shoving Neptune. "So you needed something?"

"Oh right," Jaune remembered the idea he had needed help with. "Well I've been looking up places to go here but I wanted to take Yang to a good restaurant. Since you guys went to school here I'm kind of hoping that you might know of a good place or two to take her."

"Well do you want super fancy? Because you'll need better threads than that," Neptune pointed as his armor and hoodie. "Plus it would be more expensive too."

"Well I don't want to go overboard," Jaune thought about trying to think of what he wanted.

"Not sure, Neptune you got any ideas?" Sun hadn't really dated much at Haven, he kind of got into a bit too much trouble at times for it. The few times he did ask a girl out he hadn't gone to some fancy place, he liked to keep things simple.

"Ah I might know of a place. Can I see your scroll?" Neptune asked as Jaune handed it over. He looked through it and put in a name and address in for him. "Here you go it's a good place to go for a date. It's got good food, you can dress up a bit but you don't have to go overboard and it's reasonably priced. For a first date I can say that's a place to go."

"Wow really, thanks." Jaune said looking at what he had put into his scroll. He figured it wouldn't be too had to find with the address too. He was glad he wouldn't have to dress up too much, he was just going to wear those clothing he got for the club after all, with that all set he started on the next part of his plan.

As the day went by, it was generally normal however by evening the room for team RWBY was anything but normal. Yang had showered and changed into the new clothing she got here as she checked herself out in a mirror.

"Maybe I should have gotten a new top," She muttered as she was wearing her leather jacket minus the tails on it. Thankfully, that part could come off and since she wasn't riding her bike, she didn't need it. She checked out the leather pant she had on and happily, they still looked good.

"I think you look good sis," Ruby eagerly sat on her bed almost bouncing with the energy.

"Well these pants do make my ass look great," Yang, stated turning around to look at her backside with a grin. "Although sometimes I kind of wish I had an ass like yours Blake."

"Really?" Blake rolled her eyes.

"Hey you got it going on there," Yang told her with a grin. "Too bad that long coat you wear now makes it impossible to see it."

"Why do you think I started to wear it?" Blake asked her, he knew well enough that plenty of eyes went down there when she passed some people.

"Besides how often is Jaune be even able to see it?" Weiss asked from her bed reading her scroll. She was looking up the cost for new dust in the area as well as looking for a new carrying case as she lost hers in the plane crash and hadn't gotten round to needing a new one until now.

"A girl should always be prepared," Yang told them as she went to the mirror to start to apply some light orange eye shadow. She didn't want to go overboard as Jaune had texted her to dress nice but don't worry about getting anything crazy. Still she wasn't one to go in with half measures and after that it was working on her eye lashes and finally lipstick.

She had gone out earlier to get some much needed beauty supplies as she finished with a red lipstick. Looking at herself in the mirror she had to admit, she looked hot without going overboard. That was something she preferred, she liked to just use a little to enhance her natural beauty and wasn't like those girls that wore a lot of makeup.

A knock at the door got all their attentions as they felt a moment of tenseness.

"Nervous?" Ruby asked.

"Naw," Yang waved it off although she wouldn't admit it, she kind of did. First dates were always a little nerve racking as there were so many unknowns that could happen. She had plenty of first dates, but after that not many second or third. Jaune however she felt different from those guys, after all this was her first time dating the 'good boy' type so maybe it would surprise her in the long run.

Yang opened the door and the first thing she saw was yellow and black in the forms of a bucay of a mixture of black and yellow flowers. Yang stared at them blinking in surprise before she noticed Jaune behind them looking as nervous as the first day at school.

"H-hey these, I mean, I got these for you." He stuttered.

"No one's ever given me flowers before," Yang said softly to herself. She gently took the flowers and as they got closer she could smell the fragrance, it was a nice mixture of a smell and she couldn't stop herself from taking a breath.

"I know that yellow and black are your favorite colors," Jaune nervously. "Took me awhile to find a flower shop that had the right type of flowers for sale and all."

"Wow, uh, damn I didn't expect this," Yang in all her dates not one had ever done this for her. Maybe it was because people assumed she wasn't into 'girly' stuff as she had to admit she was a bit of a tomboy but the truth was she did at times like the more feminine stuff. She liked cute things and getting flowers brought a smile to her face. He went through a lot of trouble it seems to get just the right colors as well which put bonus points for him in her book.

"It's okay right, I mean you like them?" Jaune hopefully asked.

With a slight blush on her cheeks she smiled, "Yeah I like them."

She looked around wondering where she could place them but thankfully, Weiss came to her rescue as she gently took the flowers.

"I'll find something to put them into while you're gone," she smiled at her.

"Aw thanks Weiss-cream, I owe you one."

She gave Yang an annoyed look, "You can start by stop using that horrible nickname."

"I don't own you that much," Yang laughed as she went to the door and slipped her arm with Jaune's. "Don't wait up."

"Uncle Qrow gave you a curfew, remember it." Ruby shouted after her as Yang just lazily waved it off.

Weiss sighed as she sniffed the flowers. She unlike Yang, had gotten flowers all the time but they were usually from admirers of her singing or they were just plain roses that males had used in the past to try and get to be her suitor. These however, Jaune put in effort to make sure they were flowers that smelled nice but also had a personal touch to them.

"Maybe I should have given him a chance back in the day," she muttered.

"What was that?" Ruby asked.

"Nothing," Weiss brushed it aside. "I'm going to see if there's something in the house to put these into."

"I'll help," Ruby got off as she paused looking at Blake. "You coming?"

"I…have something I have to do, in fact I'm going out myself," Blake told her.

"Oh okay then," Ruby shrugged as she went off to catch up with Weiss.

Blake meanwhile was making sure they were gone as she quickly pulled open a drawer she was using and picked out new clothing she had gotten just for tonight.

The restaurant that Jaune had picked out seemed pretty nice to Yang. The place was nice and open with lanterns being lit as they were shown to a table by a river. There was a Minstral live band that were using acoustic instruments. Personally, Yang preferred club music or something a bit more of an edge to it but for the atmosphere of the restaurant, it was good as it filled the place with gentle music. She looked at her date and found that Jaune actually looked nice back in those clothing, if obviously nervous.

"Jaune you should take a breath, you look like you're going to have a heart attack with how nervous you are," she joked.

"Nervous? Whose nervous, not me, so sir, I'm perfectly calm, if I were anymore calm I'd be dead." He tried to say back but the wavering in his voice didn't help matters.

She gave him a look that simply said 'I'm not buying what you're selling' to him. Jaune saw it and sighed as he ran his hands over his pants feeling the sweat on his palms.

"Sorry, this is my first date and I'm just worried I might screw it up or something," he admitted.

"Well don't," Yang assured him. "Jaune if you keep being so stressed out like this you're not going to enjoy the night and I'd rather we enjoy ourselves."

"Yeah I know," He brought his head up to look at her. "Just never thought I'd be here you know? I mean here I am across the world, in a restaurant with a beautiful girl. Honestly with my luck I'm surprised I got this far."

She smiled at him calling her beautiful because she knew he meant it. She leaned forward with a hand on her cheek with a smile. "There you go calling me beautiful again, not that I get tired of hearing it, it is nice to know you find me attractive."

Jaune blushed a bit, "Well to be fair even if I were blind I would notice. You kind of bring a light with you wherever you go and shine like the sun."

Now it was her turn to blush, 'Okay wow, that's a first…kind of like it.'

"Who knew that Jaune Arc was a poet," she smirked at him.

"Well not really," he looked around nervously.

She raised an eyebrow, "Oh? I sense a story."

"It's nothing I, well I tried poetry once in the past to get a girl to notice me…"

"Didn't go well?"

"No," He sighed looking depressed. "It was pretty bad in hindsight but still she just laughed at it when she read it."

Yang felt her jaw clench a bit before she tried to relax. Jaune was one of the nicest people she knew and hearing that kind of thing just pissed her off. He tried so hard, even if he wasn't any good at something he still tried his best. Laughing at something like that, that was just mean.

"Well she missed out because I got you know and you got me," Yang told him sitting back in her chair. "And I bet that…girl…can't hold a candle to me."

She wanted to call her something else but chose to try and be a little nicer about her choice of words. Jaune looked back at her and smiled as his warm blue eyes locked onto hers and she felt the warmth of his look. She shifted a bit as Jaune looked at her with eyes that she hadn't really seen before in a guy. It made her feel special, like she was the only girl in the world as a small warmth filled her chest.

"Yeah, you are amazing Yang, always have been." He told her.

Now she was feeling a bit nervous as she played with her hair a bit. It was a simple statement but for some reason it felt very personal to her. Thankfully, the food they ordered came as they both got to eating. Since coming to Mistral they were getting used to the chop sticks that some dishes came with, which was good as they had them now.

Jaune still had a little trouble sometimes, a piece of his meal was refusing to get picked up. Jaune was getting a bit frustrated as Yang watched the epic show down of man versus his food. He finally just gave up and stabbed the piece of meat with the stick and popped it into his mouth.

Yang laughed at the act but then heard the crack, she looked down to see her hand as crushed one of the sticks.

"Damn it," she muttered she had been using her robot hand and that was a problem with it. No sense of pressure or touch.

Jaune saw it and 'speared' another piece as he reached across to her with it. "Want one?"

Yang saw it and smiled as she leaned in and at the last moment decided to have a bit of fun. She slowly opened her mouth as she sensually took the piece in her mouth slowly sliding it off the tool. Jaune's face suddenly started going red as his mind went to a very dirty place, just as she had planned as she winked at him.

"You're going to be the death of me," Jaune finally managed to get out.

"But what a way to go right?" She licked her lips. She turned to get a waiter's attention to get a new set of chopsticks when something caught her eye. Black and yellow, but this time in the shape of hair, hair she noticed was very familiar. She managed to get a better look and her jaw dropped with what she saw.

"What is it?" Jaune looked in the direction she was looking and found it. "Whoa."

There sitting on the other side of the room were Sun and Blake. Sun actually had his shirt closed and had a tie on, although it was a bit loose as Blake had on a grey skirt and black blouse as they sat talking about something. Apparently, Neptune must have given Sun the same restaurant to go to for a date.

Yang grinned as she pulled out her scroll.

"What are you doing?" Jaune asked.

"Texting." Yang smirked.

Blake was looking over her menu when her scroll buzzed, she would have turned it off but in case something happened they were all keeping it on. After all they had an important artifact in their collection now. Blake sighed and pulled it out and saw a text from Yang.

Yang: How's the date with Sun?

Blake blinked, how in the hell did she, wasn't she on her own date?

Blake: What are you talking about?

Yang: You dressed up. Him in a tie. Eating together.

Blake stared at her scroll.

"Something wrong?" Sun asked he really hoped this place was cool. He had asked Neptune for a place that served great seafood knowing she loved it and he had told him about this place.

"Yang knows we're here." Blake still staring at her scroll.

"What? How?"

"I have no idea," Blake started texting.

Blake: Yang where are you?

Yang: Wouldn't you like to know ;)

Blake: :[

Yang: Look to your left *wave*

Blake put her scroll down and looked to her left it didn't take her long before she saw Yang with her scroll giving her a small wave and judging from the way she was holding her scroll Yang was taking a picture. Not a few seconds later she got a picture file sent to her as she signed, Blake opened up the file.

There she was looking irritated at Yang, Sun was next to her looking a little confused as the text under it simply read 'memento of your first date' with the picture. Although Blake smirked, she still had a photo of her own of them on the couch, they still didn't know about it.

Blake pulled up the image and sent it back with a smirk.

Yang found the image on her phone and when she opened it she blushed as her eyes widened. She couldn't believe it, they had actually taken the time to get a picture of them together asleep. Part of her was embarrassed but another she looked at the picture. They both looked at ease and totally natural in a way.

"Something wrong Yang?" Jaune asked.

"Just something Blake sent me," Yang made a mental note to send it to him at some point. His reaction would be priceless but she put her scroll away as she gave Blake a look. Oh, they were going to have something to talk about the next time they saw each other that much she could guarantee.

"Looks like we're not the only ones taking advantage of the time we have," Jaune commented.

"Yep, but let's focus on us now," Yang told him.

Dinner ended up being great, the meal was actually pretty good and after seeing Blake it had kind of broken the ice as Jaune felt a bit more relaxed and by the time they left the restaurant he felt more at ease. They left before Blake and Sun finished their meal so the two blondes walked into the night together.

"So what's next?" Yang asked him.

"Well I should warn you, I'm kind of old school in romance at times," Jaune led the way.

"Got that from the flowers, which were really nice by the way." She told him as she leaned into his side.

"Well I was looking up for places to go and well I thought this would be nice," Jaune had led them to what looked like a park.

Yang wasn't sure what he was getting at until she realized what he might be doing. "So, a walk in the park?"

"I-I know it's kind of lame but I figured a moonlight walk together would be, you know, nice?" He really wished he had more experience in dating the only ideas he really had were just stuff he got from movies and TV.

"Maybe, but I'm willing to give it a shot," She told him.

They walked through the park and like all of Mistral its culture showed here, Mistral had a huge respect for the land and it showed in their art, songs and how they built their cities. The park they were walking through had lights all along the pathways as they twisted and turned gently around the grass and small lakes.

The scents of nature were all around them as it was just a nice relaxing atmosphere. Both of them soon found the relaxing air was working on them, after all the craziness that had happened to them earlier and what most likely was going to happen, this felt nice to them. They didn't even say anything as they just walked down the paths holding hands the entire time.

"Okay maybe this is actually kind of nice," She decided to wrap her arm around his as she leaned her head against his shoulder. "Almost feels like we're just a normal couple."

"You mean no hunting Grimm, battling bad guys, going through life and death fights?" Jaune asked her.

"No epic craziness, no secrets missions, no trying to sneak into a whole country," Yang continued on.

Jaune paused thinking about it, "I'm not even sure what I would do with my life if I never got into Beacon to become a huntsman."

"Yeah same," Yang smiled. "Maybe I'd just get on my bike and travel."

"Sounds nice," Jaune said. "Because let me tell you, traveling on foot sucks."

Yang laughed at that.

"Hey I'm serious," Jaune pouted. "You have no idea how many blisters we got on our feet and how many days we had to go without a simple shower."

"That explains why Ruby has been taking longer with the hot showers lately," Yang said to herself.

"Oh yeah trust me, a week on the road between villages or even longer and you start to dream about things like a nice soft bed and a decent shower," Jaune told her.

They spent the red of their time just walking together and talking, they talked about little things, stupid things, just anything really. They laughed about some of the good times they had both at school and even before that. They would swap stories of their families and some of the things they got up to as kids. They got to know each other more and more as the time passed but eventually they had to get home.

Yang had a feeling that her uncle would not be kind with letting them stay out late, in fact she had been keeping an eye out for any black birds but so far she hadn't seen anything. They were about to open the front door when she stopped him and hooked her arms around the back of his neck.

"You know as first dates go, this wasn't bad."

"Really?" Jaune was happy to hear that.

"Yep, next time though I'm taking you to the club and we're dancing the night away," Yang told him.

Jaune smiled as with a bit more confidence he pulled her closer t him with his hands on her hips. "Then I guess we know what the next date will be."

"Now for the most important part," Yang pulled him down as she captured his lips with her own.

Jaune was enjoying the softness of her lips as she pressed up against him. Although Yang wasn't content with just one, with her flesh hand running through his hair she would lightly kiss him but each kiss got more and more intense. Jaune felt her tongue running along his lips as he opened his mouth and now the kissing was more intense. He took one of his hands and lightly took the side of her face with it.

Jaune felt like he was drowning in her, all he could sense was Yang. He could only feel her, smell her hair and the slight perfume she was wearing, hearing her moan into his mouth. He totally lost himself in the moment with her.

Yang pulled back with a sigh her face slightly flushed. "Damn, now that was awesome."

She licked her lips still tasting the meal Jaune had on them, so far she was actually enjoying this and she hoped that maybe this time she found a good guy, maybe the right guy but it was still too early to tell. Still, she was going to have fun figuring it out that much was she was sure of.

"Goodnight Lover Boy," Yang smiled as she walked away making sure to put just a little sway in her lips. She could almost feel Jaune's eyes going to them and she knew that those pants were giving him a good view of her ass.

'That's how you do it Weiss,' Yang thought to herself.

Jaune flushed as he couldn't help but look, he pulled his eyes away feeling a bit warm as he was about to follow her in when a hand clamped down onto his shoulder. Jaune jumped and turned to see Qrow suddenly behind him. He hadn't even heard or noticed the hunter until he had placed his hand on him.

"Hey kid, mind if we chat?" Qrow seemed normal but Jaune could feel the undertone. This wasn't a request as the boy gulped and nodded.

He pulled the boy to the side of the door, as he looked him over in porch light. "Well I see Yang left her mark."

"Huh?" Jaune didn't know what he was talking about.

"A piece of advice kid," Qrow smirked crossing his arms. "When I girl kisses you with lipstick on, remember it rubs off."

It took him a split second to realize what he was talking about, Jaune wiped his mouth as he saw a red smear on the skin of his hand.

"Oh."

"Now don't worry," Qrow stated. "I'm not her father, so I'm not going to go all Tai on you. But Yang is my niece, and she and Ruby are the closest family I got. Now between me and Tai, we've seen some losers that have gone after Yang in the past."

Jaune had to feel a bit of a sting at the 'loser' comment, he had heard that enough times in his past that he nearly would flinch at times when it was brought up.

"Now I go to know you kid," Qrow continued not telling him that he had been following them on their journey quietly helping them from the shadows until he had to have intervene personally in the remains of that village. "You seem like a good kid and you helped pull my ass out of the fire when I was poisoned so I'm going to give you a fair shot."

"Uh, well thanks?"

"But don't get me wrong," Qrow looked at him seriously now. "You do anything to hurt her and all bets are off, so treat her well."

"I plan do," Jaune told him with a bit of confidence behind the words. "I know we just started out but I'm going to give it my all."

Qrow looked at him for a long silent minute before shrugging after finally seeing the boy sweat a little. "Then we got no issues."

And with that, Qrow walked back into the home leaving Jaune sighing in relief. So that was what, two family members he didn't have to worry about? Of course if he ever met Yang and Ruby's dad he wasn't sure how that would go. He had visited Ruby a few times when she was recovering and Tai seemed like a good guy.

He remembered how Yang had been holed up in that room the entire time and hadn't even come out to see him or Ren and Nora when they had visited with him that one time. He was glad she had gotten better since then.

Then there was her mother but since Yang didn't have the best relationship with her at the moment or ever from what he gathered, he didn't have to worry about that. So yeah, he just had to worry about seeing Tai the next time. Well that was a long way off, he was more worried about Qrow. That guy could be kind of scary when he wanted to be and he did swing around a giant scythe like Ruby did too.

With that he just decided to go to bed, tomorrow was another day. Another day with Yang, the thought brought a smile to his face as he entered the house.
