Kurohime looked on worriedly as her beloved lay shivering on the floor. For that is what Takeshi was to her now. Her beloved. She still could not believe how just one drunken night of fooling around with him and his mentor-partner, Inari the Vixen, could turn her life around so much. Friendship blossomed between them as they experienced new things together.
It was as unexpected as it was forbidden. As the next ruler of their Island-Nation, she had traditions to follow if she wanted her rule to be seen as legitimate. Traditions she was spitting in front of as she continued this forbidden romance with a human.
Still, she would not change any of it even if she could. However, if pressured to change one thing as the Beast Princess then it would be how Takeshi got so involved in her affairs with the Black Claws.
It pains her to see her beloved has been laid so low. Brave as he is, even he cannot stand forever against the tide of enemies without paying a price. He paid it with his blood, sweat, and tears as he surpassed his limits and broke down his body just to give her more time to land the finishing blow on the leader. It was only thanks to the Inari's help did they manage to escape the aftermath.
Kurohime sighed as she looked at the result of her actions. Her beloved, currently recovering. Inari, injured and bruised. All things considered, they made it out well and alive but it still pained her that they only got hurt because of her.
She put a palm on her beloved's cheek when saw him frown in agony at the pain currently wreaking havoc through his body. Moving her hand to smoothen the furrow on his forehead, Kurohime sighs as she adoringly memorizes Takeshi's features.
"Oh, how brave and strong you are, my beloved, that you would face a hundred foes just to help me. How brave, strong, and…foolish. I do not deserve your love and yet you give it to me freely." She whispers as she closes her eyes and leans down to touch his forehead with hers.
"Hime….don't go."
She gasps as she hears him speak the nickname he gave her. She opens her eyes only to see his' stay closed. She gives him a sad smile as she feels his body start to shiver again from his overflowing power. Already knowing what to do, she leans back and pulls down her yukata to free her soft creamy breasts from their bindings.
Slipping under the covers of her beloved's bed after stripping all her clothing, she embraces his hard, toned body from above as she shares her warmth. With the differences in their heights, Kurohime has to straddle his hips just to drape herself over his body with her head settling under the crook of his neck.
"I…will never leave you." She whispers as she gives his chest a kiss. A show of affection she knew that Takeshi always responds well to.
She starts to smile as she feels something start to harden underneath her. She slides her hips back and forth as she lets her lower lips kiss his member. She moans as his body starts to warm up and gasps as he puts both hands on her supple posterior.
"Hime…" He breathes out and this time when Kurohime looks at his eyes she sees him staring back.
"Takeshi." She replies with a smile as she leans backward and raises her hips slightly.
Grabbing his now hard member, she aligns him towards her opening. There were multiple ways for Takeshi to pour out and lose the extra soul essence inside him. This just happens to be the most pleasurable.
Looking into his eyes, Kurohime lowers herself as she moans one name.
"Jaune." Blake whispers heatedly as she suddenly clenches her eyes close.
She tried, she really did. She really did try to stop herself but waiting for Jaune to wake up was a lot more boring than she thought. Not that she wanted to do anything else than nurse him back to health when he wakes but that meant hours of waiting doing nothing.
It was after dinner when she already changed into her purple yukata that she uses as her nightwear that sat beside the chair beside his bed did Blake crack open one of her books. Ninjas of Love: The Princess' Fall.
The way the infirmary was arranged, Jaune had a bed surrounded by curtains to give him some privacy. It had just enough space for Blake to scoot in a chair for her to use. It was nowhere near comfortable but she could always use the other beds in the infirmary if she wanted to sleep.
She's lucky that Nurse Tsune was so understanding when she explained she was the one going to watch Jaune for the night instead of Pyrrha. She just wishes she didn't have to waggle her eyebrows and give Blake a knowing smirk before leaving her alone.
"Remember, if you need anything my own bedroom is just on the other side of the hall. Though I won't be here after dinner so have fun but not too much fun, okay?" Nurse Tsune giggled before skipping away happily without waiting for her reply.
Which is how she found herself having too much fun while waiting for Jaune to wake up in the middle of the night. In hindsight, reading such exciting literature (it is not smut, Yang.) was not the brightest idea. But she just couldn't help it! Once she read the story she got hooked.
Kurohime, the Beast Princess, who also happens to be a cat Faunus just like her, must navigate a whirlwind romance with a young passionate warrior while facing the distorted version of the organization she built in the past. The circumstances aren't exactly the same but the similarities were there between them.
Then there was the sex. Oooohhhhh, the sex. She has only slept once with Jaune once and that was when she pushed him together with Pyrrha when they got drunk. She couldn't help but imagine what a tryst just between them sober and willing would look like.
"~~~~Jauneee~~~" She moaned lustily and she could feel her body heat up as her palm squeezed her breast in ecstasy while one hand remained holding the book for her to read.
Kurohime was getting railed from below as Takeshi palmed her breasts before slowly ghosting down his lover's body towards her hips.
Blake's hand follows the path in the book before her palm slips inside her clothes and a finger ghosts the trace of her slit through her panties. She bit her lip as she felt the electrifying heat of pleasure spread from head to toe.
She's thankful. She's really really thankful to Pyrrha for giving her this opportunity.
She might not have been able to talk to Jaune just yet but just the chance to have some alone time to herself was something to be grateful for. Living with three other people makes it hard to have time for some self-love.
So here she is touching her privates in the privacy of her lover's infirmary bed with nobody else around other than her unconscious lover.
Thank you, Pyrrha. Thank you, Pyrrha!-
She was so busy thanking Pyrrha for this chance that she froze after hearing an unexpected voice.
"B-Blake?"
As she snaps her eyes to the sound of the voice she sees Jaune staring at her with wide blue eyes.
Oh help me, Pyrrha.
Pyrrha was busy having a sleepover with Ruby, Yang, and Weiss inside their own dorm room when she suddenly paused drying her hair.
She had a weird feeling that somebody was asking for help but she just shrugs when no obvious disturbance was occurring around them.
"So….Pyrrha, why are you here?" Ruby asks awkwardly as they all stare at her.
She frowns at the reception to her presence. To be fair though, she….might have been too intense today before Jaune showed up during Combat Class.
"Well….Ren and Nora are using our room and I would hate to disturb them." Pyrrha answers diplomatically albeit with a light blush.
She could see all of them wince lightly at that as everyone remembers seeing Nora drag Ren inside their room while giggling menacingly. Let's just say….Nora does not do subtlety.
"Yeah, we know about that but I thought you said you would watch over Jaune." Yang replies flatly while looking inquisitively at Pyrrha.
"I was…but Blake wanted to watch over him instead." She responds casually, leaning backwards to rest her hands on Blake's bed.
"Then why didn't you go with her? Surely the infirmary has enough space for the both of you to watch Jaune." Weiss points out however.
"Why are you really here, Pyrrha?" Yang demands with a frown, crossing her arms under her chest as she sits beside Ruby.
This…This is not going how she imagined it to be.
She knew she didn't have the best friendship with Weiss, due in part to her own attitude towards the heiress, but surely Ruby shouldn't be this skittish around her while Yang was being this confrontational, right?
She decides to start with the truth just to see how they will react.
"I wanted to talk."
There. The truth, but vague enough of a statement for them to fill the blanks on their own.
"About what?" Ruby asks curiously before Yang could even speak.
"You might have an idea about what it is." Pyrrha deflects, keeping a well-practiced smile on her face which she could see makes Weiss frown.
Still the truth because whatever idea they have would be something she wants to talk about in the first place.
She might not be good at straight-up lying or bluffing like Jaune but Pyrrha has had years of experience handling interviews. She's good enough to be able to dance around a subject that the other person will have to fill-in themselves. This mostly lets her know what the other person wants to talk about without asking for it explicitly. Very useful for handling paparazzi who always want to get the next big scoop on her.
"Jaune…you want to talk about Jaune. You said it back during Combat Class." Ruby replies nervously, glancing away from Pyrrha's eyes.
In hindsight, this should have been obvious to Pyrrha but the day spent worrying about Jaune made her forget that Ruby was indeed worried. Worried about how she would react to her kissing Jaune, or more specifically, Neo wearing Ruby's face while kissing Jaune last night. No wonder Yang was being defensive.
Pyrrha gives her friends a wry smile just to calm Ruby's fears.
"Don't worry, Ruby. I'm not mad at you for what Neo did with Jaune."
With those words, Pyrrha could see both Ruby and Yang relax while Weiss keeps staring inquisitively at her.
"Oh thank the Gods, I thought you were mad at me." Ruby exhales a sigh of relief before exaggeratedly wiping imaginary sweat from her forehead while chuckling embarrassedly.
Pyrrha chuckles as well, further lightening the mood before speaking. "While we still need to talk about Jaune-" Ruby and Yang tense together at that even as Pyrrha continues, "there is something else we need to discuss."
It was hard to remember that they fought Roman Torchwick yesterday with all that has been going on. Which just reminds her of something else they needed to talk about.
"Something not about Jaune? That's new from you, P-money." Yang raises an eyebrow at her and Pyrrha blushes at the insinuation.
Surely she's talked about something else with them other than Jaune, right? Thinking back on all her interactions with them, she finds….none. She pales at the implication. It's always been with Jaune or about Jaune hasn't it? This….this might not be good.
Don't get her wrong, she's really really happy being with Jaune but she also wants to be friends with the others. Real friends. She has Ren and Nora already but she also wants to be friends with Team RWBY in general. If they always see her as someone just attached to Jaune then are they…really friends? Does her whole personality just revolve around Jaune to them?
"..rha. Pyrrha? You okay?"
She jolts when she suddenly finds Ruby sitting beside her on Blake's bed poking her shoulder.
"S-sorry, just thinking about something."
"Well, you were thinking too hard because you just suddenly zoned out."
She was, wasn't she? If the looks of concern she is gathering from all of them, yes even Weiss, then surely there's friendship between them. Still, confronted with that unpleasant view of her personality, Pyrrha decides to start changing that now. Luckily for her, she has just the topic.
Lightly slapping her own cheeks to focus, she gives all of them a smile before speaking.
"I…want to talk about Blake."
That takes all of them aback and Yang looks at her concernedly at the mention of her own partner.
"Blake? What about her?"
"Specifically her and the White Fang." Pyrrha clarifies, thinking back to yesterday's events.
Don't get her wrong, she would love to help Blake with her problems. She promised to after all, but the way things are escalating….it might be prudent to think of different ways to help her and her cause other than directly chasing after the White Fang and Roman Torchwick.
"I admit…it has certainly been an issue." Weiss pipes in while looking at her own teammates meaningfully.
"But…we're helping, aren't we? We stopped Roman Torchwick after all." Ruby frowns thoughtfully at them.
"Yes, we did. But the thing is, Ruby, it's not our job. At least not yet." Pyrrha nods, adding the last part when she saw Ruby move to complain.
"Finally, some sense in this group." Weiss sighs out while waving her hands at them.
Pyrrha makes a complicated expression at that. She's happy that someone is agreeing with her but for that to be Weiss…it gives Pyrrha some mixed feelings.
Yang rolls her eyes at that.
"As if you didn't enjoy whooping Roman's butt, Weiss-cream."
"We didn't get to, you brute. Ruby and I arrived late, remember?" Weiss hisses indignantly.
"Meh, you were still there. You stopped Roman from escaping. You did good."
Weiss frowns at Yang's reply before sighing in acceptance and turning back to Pyrrha. "I suppose you are right, though I am surprised that you would bring it up, Pyrrha. I remember you wanting to help Blake look for the White Fang in the first place after all."
Pyrrha sighs at that reminder before looking at all of them seriously.
"I did, but…it is getting dangerous. You saw what happened last night. Unlike the first time, people actually got hurt."
"...I suppose you are correct. Then perhaps it is a good thing we didn't get any leads on the White Fang's next activities."
Pyrrha couldn't stop the wince on time after hearing that remark from Weiss.
"Pyrrha, what was that?" Ruby asks pointedly to which Pyrrha avoids her gaze.
"What was what, Ruby?" She deflects nervously but her wandering eyes give her away.
"That! You actually found a lead, didn't you?!" Ruby exclaims as she points a finger at her.
Pyrrha could only sigh in resignation as everyone now looked at her in curiosity.
"Yes…Jaune and I heard something about the White Fang's operations."
"Well, what is it? Don't keep us waiting." Yang asks impatiently.
She thinks about it for a moment before she finally decides on a plan of action.
"...I would rather not share it."
She would rather discuss this with Jaune first while she brings up her concerns with Blake before sharing this to everyone else. Information such as this could hurt someone if shared carelessly and Pyrrha would rather not be the cause of one of her friends getting hurt.
"What?! Why not?!" Ruby pouts at her and Pyrrha has the sudden desire to ruffle her hair as her green eyes meet with adorable silver.
MUST. NOT. PET.
Pyrrha looks away and clears her throat for a moment just to get away from Ruby's dog eyes. She sees Yang smirk at the corner of her eyes and Pyrrha blushes as it is clear to her that she was being affected by Ruby.
"Y-you see, Ruby…" She looks back and she hesitates as she receives the full force of Ruby's puppy dog eyes. "I-it's too dangerous!" She stummers but Ruby just pouts even more.
"Please, Pyrrha. I promise I can take it." Ruby whines with a pleading voice and Pyrrha almost crumbles then and there but she snaps her gaze towards Yang.
Surely Ruby's sister would see how dangerous this could be. Surely Yang's protective instincts would flare up and put a stop to this, right? Right?!
Nope.
Yang just shrugs at her with a smirk. "Don't look at me. I'm just as curious as she is."
She cannot believe she is doing this but with Yang unwilling to help, Pyrrha looks to the last person she wanted to look at for help, Weiss Schnee.
Weiss looks back at her before nodding and sighing in resignation. Pyrrha smiles and her heart warms. Perhaps….perhaps she could start being easy on Weiss if she's willing to help her. After all, Pyrrha already has Jaune. She's already won the competition so there is no longer any need to hold some bitterness against the Atlesian.
"Ruby…" Weiss starts but when Ruby aims her eyes at her, she folds. "I believe you are correct and we should know this information! For the sake of the team of course."
Coward!
Weiss cringes apologetically when she sees Pyrrha's glare but what's done is done. Besides, it's not like Pyrrha has a leg to stand on, with her not even being able to stare at Ruby's eyes without crumbling herself. She closes her eyes and sighs in resignation before looking back at Ruby.
"...Outside the city, southeast of Vale. They have a base there." Pyrrha grumbles without any heat but a smile graces her features when Ruby suddenly zooms to hug her.
"YAY! Thank you, Pyrrha! You're the best!"
Pyrrha laughs lightly at the contact and she hugs Ruby back a little before leaning back.
"We should probably tell the others too but I'm partial to letting the authorities handle it this time."
"Awww, come on. Can't we check it out first before we tell anyone else? Please, please, please!" Ruby pleads at her and that's when she frowns.
"It's too dangerous, Ruby. What about the people who could get hurt?"
"Pshaw, it's just Roman and the White Fang. We already took them down before, how dangerous could it really be? Besides, you're the one who said it's outside the city. Nobody's gonna get hurt." Ruby dismisses her concern with a casual wave of her hand before looking back at her excitedly.
She expected this kind of enthusiasm from Blake, not Ruby, considering the White Fang are involved but Ruby's expression tells she's really serious about this.
She isn't the only one to notice this behavior because Yang tilts her head at her sister.
"What's up, sis? I know you want to kick ass but you're not usually this pushy."
Ruby pulls a face at that before backing away from Pyrrha and looking at all of them.
"Oh come on! It's not fair that you guys get to kick ass but Weiss and I haven't been able to do anything." Ruby sulks at them.
"Do you feel the same way?" She turns to Weiss to ask her own opinion and the heiress only gives them a thoughtful look before answering.
"I understand the feeling of being left out but not to the point of actively seeking a fight out with terrorists."
"Weiss!" Ruby gasps at the betrayal but Weiss only snaps back.
"What?! It's the truth! I'm not going to look for people who want my family dead just to make me feel like I belong."
It was so easy to forget with everything that has happened that these people do want to hurt Weiss and her family. It must have taken another sort of bravery to actively look for them for the sake of a friend than just for the thrill of battle.
It was just another reminder that despite her sometimes crabby attitude, Weiss really does care for her friends, else she would've just stayed away from the White Fang like what she's doing now instead of going to help Blake.
Pyrrha sighs at that realization and she has to face the fact that she has been confrontational to a girl that only wants to treasure her friends…..same as her.
It was at this moment that she decided to stop being so petty with Weiss and start being a better friend to her. Still, right now she has another friend that she had to focus on with the way she's sulking.
"Ruby…why do you feel the need to even hunt down the White Fang and Roman Torchwick?"
"What?! Because they're bad guys, of course! We have to stop them! That should be enough, right?!"
"Not good enough, Weiss doesn't feel the need to look for them and Pyrrha had a point earlier. It's dangerous now. We could share the information to the authorities if we wanted to stop them." Yang answers, waving her hand at Weiss before nodding at Pyrrha.
"Yang?! I thought you were on my side!"
"I am. I just want to know what you're thinking."
Ruby's face goes red and Pyrrha is worried that they've pushed their young friend too far before Ruby finally sighs and loses her steam.
"It's because…you guys have been doing cool Huntress stuff! While I'm just…there…I don't want to be just there, I want to be a Huntress like you guys." Ruby speaks sadly while waving towards the two of them and Pyrrha's heart breaks for her young friend.
She meets Yang's eyes looking back at her worriedly and nods together. It seems none of them knew Ruby had something like this going on inside her. She was just about to speak when Weiss beat her to it.
"What am I? Chopped liver?" Weiss rolls her eyes while crossing her arms.
"Weiss, I didn't mean it like-"
"Nope, nuh-uh-uh. I am speaking." Weiss interrupts, waving her finger in front of Ruby before standing up. " You, Ruby Rose are a pain in the butt-"
Ruby rolls her eyes at that.
"Gee, thanks."
Weiss however, continues by pointing at Ruby.
"You're immature-"
Pyrrha raises her hand to interfere just in case when she sees Ruby flinch and Yang raise an eyebrow at that.
"Uhm, Weiss maybe dial it-"
Weiss however, again just continues while ignoring everyone else.
"and incredibly naive-"
Yang stands up when they hear Ruby whimper before lowering her head.
"Woah, Weiss-cream, are you looking for a f-"
But Weiss ignores them again to finish her speech.
"-,but despite all that, there's no one else I would like to have as my leader."
Pyrrha blinks, Yang blinks, most importantly. Ruby raises her head up in surprise at that.
"...What?"
Weiss blushes when she sees Ruby look at her with stars in her eyes but she just continues, standing in the middle of the room and pointing straight at her leader.
"You, Ruby Rose, were the one persistent enough to push me to look for Blake the first time. You, Ruby Rose, were the one who thought of our team attacks. You are strong, brave, kind, and honorable. You, Ruby Rose, do not need to look for the White Fang and Roman Torchwick. Because you, Ruby Rose, are already on your way to becoming an outstanding Huntress."
"Weiss…that was the kindest thing you have ever said to me!" Ruby squeaks as she uses her Semblance to rush Weiss in a hug.
"Get…off." Weiss says weakly even as she pretends to push Ruby away only to embarrassedly hug her leader tighter.
"Awww…Weiss-cream does care." Yang coos teasingly and Pyrrha giggles when Weiss erupts in a blush and hastily pushes Ruby away in embarrassment.
"D-don't misunderstand! I'm just telling the truth. It's only logical after all." Weiss denies but everyone could see the blush adorning her face as she crosses her arms and looks away.
"Thanks, Weiss." Ruby says slowly with a grateful smile.
"D-don't mention it. No, seriously, don't mention it because that was the only time I was going to say that."
"Awww….I wanted to hear you say you like me as a leader again." Ruby pouts and everyone laughs as Weiss blushes even more.
Giggling at the banter, Pyrrha decides to save Weiss from further embarrassment by speaking up.
"Weiss is right, Ruby. You are already growing into a wonderful Huntress. Remember when you saved Jaune on time back at the docks?"
"Y-yeah! I guess I am pretty awesome, huh?" Ruby perks up and she puts her hands on her hips to strike a pose proudly that Pyrrha feels like she has to cover her eyes from her friend's blinding smile..
"You sure are, Rubes. You sure are." Yang snorts as she watches her sister regain her confidence back.
Pyrrha laughs lightly at the joy filling the room and she gets a glint on her eye when she sees Ruby face her sister.
"Don't forget the baby you made with Jaune though."
""WHAT?!"" Weiss and Yang shriek loudly at that but Ruby's adoring gaze that snaps to her tells Pyrrha that she at least gets it.
"ARGENT ROSE!" Ruby shouts in happiness as she jumps with both hands high in the air at the reminder.
"Yes. It's amazing, Ruby. I used it in the fight against Roman." She smiles at Ruby's enthusiasm and she suddenly finds the reaper in front of her shaking both her hands.
"OHMYGOSH! OHMYGOSH! OHMYGOSH! How was the recoil?! The feedback?! Was the switch between Dust rounds and Normal rounds smooth?! How about the reload?! Please tell me, tell me, tell me!"
"Woah there sis, You're gonna give Pyrrha a concussion."
An exaggeration but Pyrrha is still thankful for Yang's interruption as she was getting dizzy herself at Ruby's actions.
"I'm sorry!" Ruby squeaks before continuing with a smile. "It's just so amazing!"
"Yes, even Jaune used it in his fight with Mercury earlier." Pyrrha replies, watching as Ruby gets lost in her memory of the fight.
"I know right! He was like whoosh! Clang! Bang-" Ruby shouts, reenacting highlights of the fight.
"Do you like Jaune?" She asks with a smile and no hesitation whatsoever.
Pyrrha's strike was as sudden as it is unexpected as she watches everyone's face change. If there ever was a time to get Ruby's unfiltered reaction then it was now. Ruby's reaction however was something she didn't expect….though in hindsight it should have been apparent to her.
"Do you like Jaune?"
Ruby trips face first to the floor as she freezes midswing.
"W-what?!" Ruby shouts with a blush on her face….though she will forever say that it was from her face hitting the floor.
"WHAT THE HELL, P-MONEY?!" Yang drowns out her sister's voice as she suddenly stands up clenching her fist with glowing hair and red eyes.
"What? I'm asking a legitimate question." Pyrrha raises an eyebrow, calm in the face of such anger.
Ruby doesn't know how she could be that calm but maybe that's why she's the Champion and Ruby isn't.
"What kind of question is that?!" Yang asks loudly, blazing hair calming down but breath still heavy as Ruby finally manages to stand up again.
"The kind you ask friends in a sleepover." Pyrrha answers while looking straight at her with a smile.
"So suddenly, however?" Weiss furrows her brow beside her and Ruby suddenly finds herself flanked by her sister and her partner while facing Pyrrha.
"What do you mean so suddenly, Weiss? I did say earlier that we were eventually going to talk about Jaune, remember?"
Yup, they sure did.
"So what is it gonna be, Ruby? Do you like Jaune or not?" Pyrrha crosses her legs on Blake's bed while looking at them calmly with a smile.
"Obviously….not….. Ruby, do you like Jaune?" Weiss snorts at that question before hesitating and turning to Ruby with a thoughtful look.
"What?!" Ruby shrieks even as her sister suddenly turns to look at her partner.
"Not you too, Weiss!"
"Think about it, Yang! They're both dolts! You don't know what could happen between them!"
"Obviously nothing! Right, Ruby?!"
Ruby remains silent at her sister's question as her mind gets dizzy at the sudden changes in situation. First they were talking her up and now they were interrogating her if she liked Jaune?!
"...Right, Ruby?" Yang asks shakily as she still remains silent, thinking about the question…and thinking about Jaune.
She blushes in embarrassment and looks down.
"Oh Brothers, you do like him!" Weiss screeches with a pale face while pointing at her..
"I do not!" She screams back with a blush.
She can already see Yang from the corner of her eyes shakily stumble backward as she continues. "I mean, I like him but only as a friend! A best friend!"
Pyrrha laughs at that and Ruby clenches her hands more in mortification.
"It's okay, Ru-"
"No! No, it's not!" She shouts loudly and silence fills the room at her outburst. Her heavy breathing is the only sound she could hear as she looks up to Pyrrha's calm eyes. "I like him-"
"Like hell you do!" Yang interrupts, her hair blazing again but this time her red eyes are aimed at Ruby.
"Let me finish, Yang!" She shouts, undaunted and annoyed at her sister who continues to ignore her.
"You're too young-"
"No she is not!" Pyrrha thunders, standing up and they are all reminded they are in the presence of a champion.
Yang might have been able to ignore Ruby, but she could never ignore Pyrrha when she's like this. However, hothead that she is, Yang only glares at Pyrrha who raises an eyebrow at her.
"She's fifteen. She's too young." Yang scowls and Ruby frowns at her words.
"She's old enough to make her own decisions, Yang." Pyrrha replies calmly with a neutral face.
Ruby would have been excited to have someone see her as someone who isn't a kid but the sparks flying between Pyrrha and Yang worries her.
"Stay away from this, Pyrrha. I'm warning you." Yang growls and Ruby sighs in annoyance at her sister's overprotectiveness.
"Or what?" Pyrrha responds flatly, meeting Yang's threats head on and stepping forward to face off with her.
Ruby gulps at the prospect of a fight breaking but she braves her way through their middle and pushes them away from each other.
"Enough!" She shouts as both of them step backward. It's not as far as Ruby wants but she'll take it if the two of them don't start fighting. Both sides stay silent even as they refuse to tear their gaze away from each other.
She sighs in exasperation and she could see Weiss looking closely with wide eyes at the confrontation.
"Yang…" She says softly and it gets her sister's attention at last. "Pyrrha's right, I'm old enough to make my decisions."
Yang colors at that sentence but Ruby cuts her off with a sharp wave of her hand. "You didn't let me finish!"
Silence fills the room again and Ruby closes her eyes to focus on her answer. A harsh breath comes out of her mouth and she looks at her sister intensely.
"I like Jaune."
Gasps ring out from Pyrrha and Weiss even as Yang pales and staggers back weakly. She isn't finished however.
"I like him as a best friend. I want to spend time with him reading comics, playing video games, making weapons, and all other stuff but I only like him as a best friend." She finishes with a flush of embarrassment on her face.
She didn't realize she needed to say all of that for them to finally understand she only sees Jaune as her best friend. One of them however, still does not seem to get it.
"Ruby, it's okay if you have a crush on-"
"It's not a crush, okay?! Why are you even insisting on this anyway?!" She twists around to point a finger at Pyrrha who raises her arms placatingly at her..
"You're blushing." Pyrrha points out and Ruby almost shrieks like Weiss in exasperation as it is she limits her volume to an exasperated yell.
"It's embarrassing! Everyone blushes when they are embarrassed!"
"Yes, but you also blush when you look into Jaune's eyes or when he tousles your hair." Pyrrha only smiles at her and Ruby thinks back to how Jaune did just that earlier today after his fight with Mercury.
She will admit, it did feel good when he tousled her hair and gave her a smile. Not to mention, his eyes were just so beautiful. They glowed blue like gems-
She shakes her head when she realizes that she was, indeed, blushing again and for the first time, she glares at Pyrrha who takes a step back at her expression. That's when she shrieks like a Schnee.
"STOP PUTTING WEIRD THOUGHTS IN MY HEAD!"
Pyrrha backs up and even Yang and Weiss keep their distance from her.
"...Okay, Ruby. I'm sorry if I pushed you too far." Pyrrha apologizes with a contrite expression and Ruby just sighs in resignation while pinching the bridge of her nose.
They had a good thing going! They were talking about guns, beating the White Fang and Roman Torchwick, and they would have talked about all other cool huntress stuff! Why did they have to talk about boys and crushes?
"Why, Pyrrha? Why are you like this?" Ruby sighs and she sees the exact moment Pyrrha's expression turn from apologetic to nervous. Which in turn, makes Ruby nervous.
"Well…I just wanted to say that if you do have a crush-"
"It's not a crush."
"-on Jaune…then, it's okay." Pyrrha finishes, gathering her resolve and looking Ruby straight in the eyes without any of her previous nervousness
"Oooookay? But you already said that."
"No, Ruby. I mean it's okay."
Weiss gasps at that but Ruby still doesn't get why Pyrrha has to repeat that.
"Not getting why you have to emphasize, but okay-"
That's when the energy in the room suddenly changes.
"OH MY GODS!" Weiss shrieks. Or Schreek, heh.
"W-what?! What is it, Weiss?!" Ruby suddenly looked at her partner, surprised at the volume of her voice.
"You! Her! Oh my Gods!" Weiss only points at Ruby then at Pyrrha before pulling her white hair with both hands
"Weiss!" Pyrrha cries out, a blush very obvious on her face.
"Pyrrha! Y-you! Her?!" Weiss snaps at Pyrrha before flicking her gaze back at Ruby.
"...Yes?" Pyrrha answers nervously to an unasked question and. Ruby still has no idea what they are talking about.
"OH MY GODS!" Weiss shrieks again with wide eyes.
"Can someone tell me what is going on?!" Ruby groans in annoyance, glancing at Weiss who was still stumerring and her sister who was so pale and gazing distantly that she looked like she saw a ghost.
"Y-Yang! Tell her!" Weiss says with a blush, passing all of Ruby's attention to her sister.
"I-uh, I'm not even mad to be honest. It's just.." Yang comes out of it slowly before her words trail off.
"Just what?!" Ruby snaps in anger. Not knowing something everybody else knew is really getting on her nerves.
Yang jolts suddenly at the volume of her voice and Ruby is thankful that she is finally going to get some context to what they are talking about.
"Nevermind, I'm angry again. It's just crazy, Rubes! Pyrrha, what the hell?!"
"I'm sorry, okay! I mean, we already have Blake, what's one more, right?!"
"Did you just treat them like cats?" Weiss pipes up but Ruby ignores her words as she tries to parcel Pyrrha's words.
Blake? One more? What's that gonna do with her-
The realization comes to her suddenly and Ruby immediately blushes.
"OH GODS!" She shrieks before turning to Pyrrha. "You want me to be like Blake?!"
Confused thoughts run through her mind even as she looks dizzily at Pyrrha.
Blake?! Like Blake with Jaune?! Her with Jaune?!
She couldn't help but imagine it. Her and Jaune, reading Xray and Vav with her leaning back on his chest then suddenly they reach a scene….
'This is nice.' Scarlet Lily says as she leans back on her boyfriend's chest.
Aurelius Luna smiles. They just got back from beating the Red Talons and it is a blessing to have a relaxing time like this. His hands would find hers and their fingers would lock with each other.
Jaune would hold her hand tighter at the same time and they would both gulp as they flip to the next page.
Aurelius leans down, closing the gap with his girlfriend just like how the gaps between their fingers close.
Ruby…Ruby would moan as Jaune's hands held hers lovingly.
"No!"
She jolts when she hears Pyrrha's shout. It is only through panic and surprise that she manages to let out a squeak instead of the moan that was building up inside her. She turns away from the spartan with a blush, her legs rubbing together at the sudden throbbing heat spreading throughout her body.
She should be relieved that Pyrrha said no. Relieved like how Yang was feeling right now with her sister's body obviously relaxing from her stance. Yet Ruby does not feel relieved. She pouts.
"At least not yet."
She perks up at that. She should not have perked up at that.
Big mistake because her action just made her have eye to eye contact with Pyrrha whose eyes immediately widen at her.
"I-I don't like Jaune!" She reacts immediately but she blushes even more when Pyrrha only smirks at her and raises an eyebrow.
"Oh I know, you've already said it before. I was just sharing just….in….case." Pyrrha says calmly, spacing the last words just to make her blush even more.
"W-why are you doing this? Why would you be okay with Jaune being with others?" Ruby asks shakily, looking to both Weiss and Yang for support.
"Well…It's because I know you would keep Jaune safe." Pyrrha answers as she squirms embarrassedly.
What?
She blinks, and Pyrrha blinks back, but the two people beside her decide to do something else.
""HAHAHAHA!"" Yang and Weiss laugh. Yang with her deep bellyful of laughs and Weiss' high-pitched titters cause Ruby and Pyrrha to cringe that takes the blush off of their faces.
They laugh. They laugh and they laugh and they laugh so much that Ruby's annoyance surpasses her patience's limits when she sees Pyrrha sink into herself.
"HEY! THIS IS SERIOUS, YOU KNOW?!" She stomps at them.
"I-I'm sorry, Rubes-urghk!" Yang starts to apologize even in the middle of her dying laughter but Ruby is just so annoyed that she jabs her in the side just to get her to stop.
"I-I'll stop! S-sorry!" Weiss giggles to herself, turning away from Ruby to get her laughter to stop.
Huffing away from her teammates she turns to Pyrrha only to find her sitting down embarrassedly on Blake's bed again. Sighing to herself, she sits down beside Pyrrha and takes a hold of her hand.
"Pyrrha…you know I would protect Jaune e-even i-if I wasn't with him." She says with a light blush on her face.
"I know, Ruby, but you saw what happened last night. Jaune still got taken hostage by Neo." Pyrrha smiles sadly at her, reminding her of what Neo did.
Yang barks a laugh at that after gathering her breath again.
"Ha! I doubt anyone could forget that, Pyrrha. Besides, I don't think Ruby being in a relationship with Jaune would have changed things."
Weiss snorts, adding her own thoughts to the discussion.
"It's funny, you know. That you think you need to form a harem of girls to protect Jaune. You shouldn't even be thinking of ways to protect him in the first place."
""He's my boyfriend/best friend!"" Both Pyrrha and Ruby say at the same time with a blush on their cheeks, their words overlap as they both turn to look at Weiss.
"We know." Weiss only rolls her eyes exasperatedly at them before continuing. "I'm thinking about how you think he even needs protection in the first place."
"Oh, he needs some protection, alright." Yang waggles her eyebrows and Ruby could feel Pyrrha stiffen beside her.
"Yang!" Ruby chides embarrassedly, her thoughts run wild at every kind of protection Jaune could be using. Shield, armor. condom-
"Not that kind of protection, you idiot!" Weiss shouts with a blush that successfully knocks Ruby out of her thoughts. "I'm thinking about his safety! Did you already forget how he did earlier against Mercury? Jaune doesn't need the extra protection because he's already becoming a capable Huntsman!" Weiss hisses at them and her words slam right into them.
That's right…..Jaune was doing good against Mercury. There's also some added benefits coming from his Semblance. Sure, he gets a bit weird and loopy when he uses it too long but he only needs to train it or use it in short periods of time for it to be super effective!
Jaune really is becoming a wonderful Huntsman! The fact that it took Weiss saying it out loud however….well, Ruby and Pyrrha just gawks at the Heiress at that.
"Wow, Weiss. That…might be the nicest thing you said about the guy." Yang pipes in, just as blown away as Pyrrha and Ruby were.
"Ughh…One only needs to pay attention to see his improvement." Weiss answers grudgingly, looking away from them with a blush.
"Does that mean you pay attention to VB? Enough to ogle-Ooof!" Yang teases before Weiss suddenly grabs a pillow from her bed to throw at her.
"Shut up! I have Neptune, you know?!"
Now there's the Weiss she knows.
Ruby smiles at that, before locking her eyes with Pyrrha.
"Weiss is right. You d-don't need to form a h-harem for Jaune to be safe."
Pyrrha only sighs at that as they both ignore the two other occupants in the room having a pillow fight.
"Maybe, you're right. But I would rather entrust Jaune to you than to Neo."
"Neo? Neo is a choice?" She reels back in surprise at that.
Since when was a criminal even an option for Jaune.
"Ahh…well….Neo seems to like Jaune and….she did more things with Jaune than what you all saw." Pyrrha replies nervously, looking away from her and towards the growing pillow fight between Yang and Weiss.
Ruby couldn't help but feel curious about that last remark even as a small prick of pain pierces her chest at the thought of Neo…kissing Jaune again.
"...What kind of things?" She asks slowly, not wanting to seem too curious or desperate.
This was normally the time she would rather join the pillow fight instead of having this conversation but Ruby was hooked. She was curious what would give Pyrrha the notion that Neo even was an option. Coupled with Pyrrha's nervous face, well…Ruby wants to know.
"Uhm… It's…I think you should ask Jaune." Pyrrha answers with a blush and Ruby's blood freezes at the imagination of what kind of things Neo did.
"What did she do, Pyrrha?"
Pyrrha only looks away and Ruby's voice takes in a shaky tone when she asks again.
"Pyrrha, what did she do?"
"...She….well….she used your face and…"
As Pyrrha leans in to whisper her all that Neo did, Ruby….well Ruby Rose blushes and grabs the nearest pillow, puts it to her face, and screams.
The pillow fight suddenly stops as everyone turns to look at her worriedly.
"Ruby? Are you okay?" Weiss asks her while Yang turns to Pyrrha.
"Pyrrha, what did you say to her?"
"Well….I just told-umph!"
She is horrified to hear Pyrrha start to answer and she immediately leaps into action.
"PILLOW FIGHT!" She screams with a blush as a pillow slams straight into Pyrrha's face.
As she leaps towards her partner and sister she has one last thought before it is consumed by the white pillowy softness coming straight for her face.
She was never going to look at Jaune in the face again.
Jaune woke up to a splitting headache, sore muscles, and an overall lack of energy in his body.
"~Jauneee~"
He completely forgets the headache and his eyes snap open when he hears a voice heatedly saying his name. Turning his head towards the sound of the voice, he sees….
"B-Blake?"
He has never seen her move faster in his life than at that moment so far.
"J-Jaune!" She yells with a blush, looking at him with wide surprised eyes from the seat near his bed.
He moves to sit up but groans back in pain when his muscles suddenly protest.
"I-I'm sorry!" Blake apologizes instantly, standing up to hover worriedly over him.
"I-it's fine. Y-you don't see me complaining hearing a pretty girl moaning my name." He gives her a chuckle, albeit a bit pained, just to reassure her.
It works because she blushes once again and automatically smacks his shoulder in mortification. That was a mistake. The pain explodes and Jaune barely manages to bite back a scream of pain because HOLY SHIT! That was painful! It felt like being bashed by something harder while his arm was jelly.
"I-I'm sorry!" Blake apologizes again in mortification, her blush completely gone.
"I-it's okay, I'm just sore." He laughs nervously while rubbing his shoulder.
"Nurse Tsune didn't think of that but figures that would be the case if you've been training since 4AM and using your Semblance the whole time."
"Yeah, not a fun experience by the way." Jaune cringes at that before doing his best to sit up.
"Productive though, you did well back in Combat Class." Blake supports him and he gives her a shy smile of appreciation as she arranges his pillows behind him as a backrest.
"Thanks. What time is it?" He mutters shyly, nobody wants to be seen as weak by their girl or in this case, one of his girls which just makes him blush.
"It's already after dinner-"
Growl
He blushes even more as his stomach rumbles at the word dinner and he sees Blake chuckle lightly at that.
"I was going to say 9PM before you interrupted me." Blake grins teasingly.
"Sorry." Jaune mumbles abashedly.
"Here, I saved you a meal. It's not much but it's something." Blake smiles at him, standing up to get something from on top of the shelf beside his bed.
"What about you?" He asks as he receives the tray containing a couple of sandwiches and a glass of water.
"I already ate." Blake only shakes her head at his question, setting the tray down on his lap.
Shrugging at her answer, Jaune shrugs before grabbing one of the sandwiches.
"Mhmm. This is good." He moans as he takes a bite and Blake only laughs lightly while watching him.
"You must have been hungry if you can call cafeteria food good." She says with a smile even as Jaune proceeds to scarf down his dinner.
"Hey, food is food." He replies as he grabs the other sandwich.
"I guess so, how do you feel by the way?"
"Sore…swallow…tired…gulp…I had a headache but…that went away when I heard you." Jaune answers between swallowing his food and drinking his water before finishing with a blush.
"Ah….that." Blake answers shyly and he sees her squirm in her nightwear.
"That." Jaune speaks hoarsely as he appreciates the vision in front of him.
This close, he could still see his friend's form despite the darkness and the moonlight through the windows being the only source of illumination.
Purple yukata hugging her curves at the right places to emphasize her femininity. Black hair framing her beautiful face with bewitching amber eyes. Creamy supple skin peeking out from here and there as her dress shuffles around her moving body.
Blake Belladonna is a beauty that heats up his blood when she looks at him shyly like now. She also makes his heart skip a beat when she says her next words.
"Jaune, we need to talk." She says as he takes the empty tray away from him and sets it aside.
Huh, deja vu. Why do the women in his life like to start with that? Though perhaps Jaune could hardly blame Blake because after all, they really do need to talk.
"Is this finally going to be the talk?" He speaks neutrally, not letting her see any of the nervousness and excitement inside him.
"Have I ever told you about my time in the White Fang?"
"None of the details but you did tell us about the rallies, the vandalism, and the violence before you left." Jaune tilts his head in confusion, trying to remember what Blake told him and Pyrrha the first time she shared about her past.
"I did, didn't I? But what I want to tell you now is that there's a reason I needed time before we could talk about…us."
All the heated blood cools down as he sees her squirm uneasily. Jaune could already see how difficult it is for her to talk about this so he stays silent, only giving her a nod in response.
"I….after I left my parents to commit myself to the White Fang…there was..someone."
Jaune stiffens at that. Someone? Someone she loved? lost? Did she find Jaune lacking compared to that person?! Think, Jaune! Think!
His mind runs overtime and he lands on one name said to him not so long ago.
"Adam Taurus, right? A hero to the White Fang? Your ex?"
He remembers Blake telling this to him back in Junior's Club the first time they looked for the White Fang. To be honest, he almost completely forgot about it, what with all that's been happening around them. And it seems he's not the only one because Blake widens her eyes in shock.
"How do you know that?!"
"Uhh, Blake…you told us, remember? Back in Junior's Club when we were asking him for information about the White Fang?"
Unsaid was the fact that he almost forgot about it himself as Blake nods in realization.
"Right..Right. I actually forgot about that."
Jaune shakes his head, thinking of everything that just happened around them.
"I don't blame you. I actually forgot about it too until you brought it up. There's a lot that's been going on."
The Docks. The 2nd Search for the White Fang. The Fight with the Paladin. And just today, his own training with his Semblance that knocked him out.
"...I'm sorry for the trouble." Blake, however, seems to take his answer as blame towards her as she bows her head in apology.
Jaune instantly shakes his head with wide eyes at her action.
"Don't be. It's not your fault."
She moves to reply but Jaune interrupts her immediately. "Anyways, you were saying something about your ex?"
He was not going to let her blame herself and Blake seems to notice his resolve in this as she gives him an apologetic wince and a small smile before clearing her throat to continue.
"...Yes…What I'm saying is…Jaune….The last time I fell in love, it almost ended in a literal trainwreck that would have killed civilians."
Jaune's eyes blow wide open at that. That….that was bad…On the other hand though, what could he say to that?! It's not like he's going to go on a killing spree if Blake doesn't go out with him!
Blake takes his silence as a response on its own so she continues.
"Add it to the fact that I literally spent much of my childhood fighting for the White Fang. I have no idea how to have a normal relationship."
His heart beats faster but he has to confirm because this is just confusing. Is this what he thinks it is or is he hoping too much from her words?
"Blake…does this mean..…you'd like to have a relationship with me?" He gulps with a blush and his heart beats faster when he sees her looking away shyly.
"..Yes.." She nods slowly with a blush on her face.
He couldn't contain the grin from gracing his face even if he wanted to.
"That's great!" He shouts as he leans to embrace her, sore muscles all but forgotten as he feels Blake's softness against him.
"B-but what about Adam?! The White Fang?!" She yells panickedly as she struggles weakly in his arms.
Jaune only laughs loudly at that, holding her even tighter and willing all his love and affection to her.
"What about them? They don't matter to me, to us."
Her resistance weakens further as she falls limp in his arms.
"B-but I don't know how to be a girlfriend." She whines piteously even as she starts to cling to him.
He chuckles! He just couldn't hold in the happiness inside him.
"Me too! But that's okay! Do you know why?"
"W-why?" She asks even as she begins to hug him tighter.
"Because we are not going to be in a normal relationship. We have Pyrrha too, remember?" He reminds her with a smile before leaning back to look at her face, he'd be damned if he forgot either one of them.
"R-right. I knew that. It's just that I don't know how to be a girlfriend."
"Blake, you're doing great! You just have to be yourself. You're already nursing back to health after all." He teases with a smile, getting a small smile back in return.
"You're right….Thanks, Jaune….and you're doing great too. As a boyfriend, I mean." She responds, affection and gratefulness clear in her amber eyes.
"Guess this means we're boyfriend and girlfriend now, huh?" He asks with a grin.
"..Yes." Blake whispers quietly with a smile.
As they stay there looking at each other affectionately, Jaune puts a palm on her cheek and he feels the air between them heat up. Smiling softly at each other, they both lean forward for a kiss.
Their lips meet and they have their first kiss sober while being officially in a relationship with each other.
All things considered, it was a chaste kiss. Only lasting for a brief moment but enough to feel the joy and affection from each other. They separate, smiling gleefully at each other before leaning forward again.
This time….the kiss was deeper, hotter, and as Jaune's tongue darts out hers meet his in return. She moans as he lets his hands wander from her back to her sides, feeling the curves of her body even above the fabric of her clothing.
She surprises him however when she leans back, only to stand from her seat and slowly climb onto his bed. He gasps as Blake ends up straddling his waist before she leans downward to kiss him again.
Moans and soft sighs of pleasure come out of them as they explore each other's mouths. Their tongues battle for domination and Jaune gets the upper hand when Blake gasps after his hands drift towards her wonderfully plump ass.
Jaune smiles internally as he hears a familiar sound from her.
"~Jaune.~" She moans heatedly through his lips and their breaths mingle with each other.
"Blake…Is this what you were imagining earlier before I woke up?" He asks as he remembers the sound that woke him up in the first place. Blake Belladonna, moaning his name.
He sees her blush at that, tilting her head to hide her face on the crook of his neck.
He chuckles as he feels her give him a few kisses before gasping when she bites down lightly with her mouth.
"Did you just bite me?" He asks incredulously as she leans away from him.
"That's what you get for teasing me." She answers, sitting herself on his waist as he rubs the curve of her ass and legs.
"I was just asking a question." He pouts as one of his hands rubs the spot on his neck.
"If you really want to know then let me show you." She replies with a glint in her eyes that makes Jaune smile.
Contrary to her earlier hesitant and shy demeanor, Blake confidently scootches backward to plant her weight on his feet. Jaune's eyes grow wide in excitement as she then leans forward to unbuckle his pants.
Making it easier for her, he lifts his waist up and Blake smoothly pulls down his pants together with his underwear to his knees.
"Oh fuck!" He curses as she suddenly guides his already hard member into her hot wet mouth.
His waist convulses as she expertly swirls her tongue on the head of his dick before bobbing her head up and down. His hands grab onto her hair and they both moan as she shivers pleasurably from his action. Feeling her cat ears, Jaune rubs the part where it connects to her head.
Pleasure swallows his length as Blake's throat suddenly relaxes, engulfing all of him even as her eyes cross.
"Blake!" He groans roughly as she suddenly moans with his dick still inside her mouth.
Not wanting this to end so soon, he decides to pull Blake up away from his dick only for her to limply drool on his throbbing cock with her eyes gazing blankly.
"Blake, are you okay?" He asks worriedly as he sees her state.
She shakes her head at the sound of her name before her eyes focus back on him.
"S-sorry…. Just didn't expect that. Felt…too good." She mumbles shyly after coughing a bit and taking a deep breath.
"Are you okay? Do you want to stop?"
He doesn't want her to but he would rather cockblock himself than force her to do something she doesn't want to. He smiles when her eyes blow wide open before firmly shaking her head from side to side.
"No! No…It was just too good. Besides, that wasn't what I was going to show you." She speaks with a blush before bringing herself up to his waist again and smoothly sliding her clothing off of her shoulders and bunching it off on her toned stomach.
Jaune's eyes grow wide as he then sees her unclasp her lacy black bra to show him her wonderfully creamy breasts. Smiling at his reaction, she lifts her waist up a bit to show him her wet panties.
"This…is what I wanted to show you." She purrs seductively and Jaune has never heard anything hotter as she pulls the fabric to the side.
They moan together as Blake aligns their waists before lowering herself slowly to swallow his dick with her pussy.
She was wet. She was tight. Most importantly, she was hot for him.
"Is…this..what you were imagining?" He asks breathlessly as he grabs her ass tight, enjoying the feeling of the famed Bellabooty.
"Yesss." Blake hisses lustily as she fully sheathes his dick into her pussy.
Their eyes lock into each other as they continue to moan together when Blake begins to lift herself up and down on his dick. Seeing her breasts bounce, Jaune moves one hand to cup one of them.
Her sounds grow louder and Jaune has to pull her in for a kiss, changing her movements from up and down to sliding forward and backward. He groans into her mouth as their tongues battle for domination and his dick is gripped by her wet pussy.
"MMMPHHH~! Jauneeee~ You feel so good~" She mewls sexily in between kisses as her movements become faster.
It doesn't take very long before Jaune feels the end coming. Feeling his member harden even further inside her, Blake leans back to look down upon him. Using her arms to support her weight, she goes even faster as she whispers the words that makes Jaune Arc crumble.
"Cum for me, Jaune. Cum deep inside me."
"I'm coming, Blake." Adam Taurus whispers into the night sky on top of a boat as he stares at the shores of the Kingdom of Vale.
"Hmm? Did you say something, Sir?" The crewmember asks as he pauses in his work.
Adam is silent for a moment, his gaze focused onto the ever nearing landmass in front of them before he turns around.
"Tell the others to prepare. We are moving immediately after reaching shore. No rests. They've had enough of it on the ships." He speaks calmly as he walks towards the privacy of his own room.
Reaching down into his coat after entering his room and locking the doors, he reads the words and imagines it in Blake's voice.
To My Dearly Beloved,
AN:
A number of people seem to think that Jaune was nerfed really hard but on the contrary, it's not that big. The feedback from his Semblance only came about because he's been using it for hours on end.
He could still use it normally in a fight or to heal injuries but hours and hours of continous use should still at least give him a bit of pain.
This chapter's a bit long but with Blake's feelings resolved, another one takes her place in being confused. She might not be receptive right now but the seeds have already been planted. Let me know what you think!
