A/N: This little beauty was written in December. Guess you know which day Dust Day is supposed to represent.
Winter was laughing. She was in a beautiful, ice blue dress, the gown sparkling in the moonlight. She had her hair in its usual style, but with a silver wing as a hair piece. Her dress had a slit that revealed her long, slender legs, guarded by black stockings. She looked breathtaking.
"Don't laugh," Jaune groaned as he gently swished his champagne. He was wearing a white tuxedo with a golden collar, a blue tie, and cufflinks with the Schnee snowflake on them. He had his usual Warrior's Wolf Tail tied in a more respectable manner, tied with the hair hidden down his shirt. His hair was slicked back, with his beard more neatly trimmed, making him look even more dashing.
The other patrons of the restaurant couldn't take their eyes off the couple, unable to believe how good-looking they both were. Many of the couples were jealous of Jaune and Winter, both dating attractive people... and causing some of the patrons to question either their sexuality, their taste in partners, or their faith in their partner.
"I'm sorry. It's just a silly sight," Winter said as she elegantly sipped her drink. "The mighty Jaune Arc, the Vale Knight... tending to bunny rabbits and lambs."
"Hey, the job was to make sure the animals at that petting zoo were ready for the children. It wasn't glamorous like hunting Grimm or taking down a syndicate, but it was pretty rewarding. A lot of those kids don't have a lot to look forward to, being orphans and all, but seeing that look in their eyes made it even more worthwhile than the lien," Jaune said as he took a sip.
Winter leaned forward, not knowing that she was giving Jaune a nice eyeful of her lovely cleavage. "Not many Huntsmen are willing to take menial missions like making sure a petting zoo is prepared for local orphans. Most would find such small missions beneath them."
"Yeah, well," Jaune said as he forked his last bite of steak. "I'm not most Huntsmen. I'm trying to make Remnant a better place as best as I can," Jaune said before finishing his meal. "Plus, they were out of high-class missions that day." That got a laugh out of the two.
Winter then looked up towards the shattered moon. "The moon seems to be even more beautiful on Dust Day's Eve, doesn't it?"
Jaune looked up at the moon, thinking about agreeing with Winter... until he looked at her. The light of the moon illuminated her, made her skin shin and sparkle even brighter than her dress, her hair glowing like a glorious beacon, her eyes sparkling like diamonds. Jaune was spellbound by the sight of his lover. "I think... I've seen even more beautiful sights than the Dust Day's Eve moon."
Winter glanced at Jaune, seeing that he was staring at her, and smiled. "Have you now?"
Jaune smiled. "I have indeed," he said as he held out his glass.
Winter giggled before lifting her own glass, the two having a toast before finishing the rest of their drink.
Winter then looked at her now empty glass. "Jaune?"
"Hm?"
"Despite my being the General... I have times where I can return home."
"Back to Schnee Manor?"
"Yes. Dust Day is one of those rare occasions. Crime is at all all-time low, at that."
"Thanks to a certain team-up," Jaune said with a smile.
Winter sighed. "Yes. Thanks to a certain team-up," she admitted. "Still, WE can go to my home."
Jaune jolted. "W-Winter... are you... inviting me over?"
Winter gave Jaune a sly smile. "My, my, five months of courtship, and I finally find a way to fluster you."
Jaune cleared his throat, taking a sip from his empty glass, making Winter giggle. "Uh, well, Winter, won't it be awkward? With Weiss, Whitely, and Ruby being there?"
"Oh, no. They are on a business trip. They should be in Mistral by now. They won't be back until the day after Dust's Day."
Jaune jolted. "But... what about-"
"Klein will be with them."
Jaune's eyes widened. "So... it will be just you and me in a massive manor?"
"Well, my mother may still be home, but I doubt she will bother us."
"Check please," Jaune squawked out.
"Jaune, this is a reservation. I believe you told me you already paid to get us seats," Winter said with a smile.
"Oh. Right. I guess I did," Jaune said with a nervous laugh, making Winter giggle.
'Cute,' she thought.
"Wow. It's almost a perfect replica of the old Manor," Jaune said as he followed Winter inside.
"Indeed. The original Schnee Manor was built by my grandfather. We had it rebuilt exactly to honor him. Nearly everything is identical to the original."
"Nearly?"
Schnee looked at Jaune with a small smile. "Well, we obviously couldn't replicate father's study. Most of his records were destroyed in the Death of Atlas."
"Ah."
Jaune followed Winter throughout the house.
"This is the first time I really explored your home. It's like a maze."
"Admittedly, it is easy to get turned around," Winter said. "Here we are," she said as she created a key from her ice powers and unlocked the door. "I welcome you into my room."
Jaune followed Winter into her bedroom, amazed by how it was literally sparkling. "Wow. This is even better looking than what I imagined. Your room looks like something that royalty should be sleeping in. You really are a goddess," Jaune chuckled.
"Why thank you. Now, could you please assist me and unzip my dress," Winter asked as she pushed up her bun a bit to reveal her flawless back. Jaune gulped at the mere sight of it.
He then walked up, gently grabbed Winter's slender shoulder, and carefully unzipped her dress. The more of her back was revealed, the harder it was for him to contain himself. Then, as soon as he reached the end of the zipper, right above her pelvis, Jaune immediately started to kiss her shoulders, moving up her neck.
"S-So impatient," Winter moaned with a blush.
"I'm sorry," Jaune said in between kisses. "But you try being in the bedroom of a beautiful ice goddess. See how well you can contain your urges."
Winter giggled as she brushed her hand through Jaune's hair. "I think... I'll have an easier time... since I'm not interested in women."
"My point still stands on you being too beautiful, Winter."
"You're incorrigible," she said with a laugh. She then turned and wrapped her arms around his neck. "You're as bad as he is."
As soon as Winter said that there was an awkward silence. The two stared into the other's eyes, Winter not knowing how to respond before Jaune surprised her with a kiss. "I'd like to think I'm at least just a tiny bit better."
Winter smiled and kissed him back. "Well, you're certainly more of a gentleman." She then proceeded to continue kissing him, undressing him as they continuously kissed each other. As Jaune's tux fell to the floor, Winter's dress dropped next to it as the two got onto Winter's king-sized bed. If he wasn't so busy kissing her, Jaune would have noticed how incredibly soft Winter's bed was.
Still, all that mattered to Jaune was the beautiful woman he was on top of, the two throwing off the last bit of clothing they had, as Winter reached for the light switch near her bed and slowly traced downward, the lights dimming until they were completely off, the Dust Day Eve moon being the only source of light.
Then, the sounds of kissing stopped, replaced by the sound of passionate moans, a rumbling bed, and the odd ecstatic yell here and there.
Hours passed.
It was now an hour or so past midnight, making it officially Dust Day.
Jaune then begrudgingly woke up, the call of nature forcing him to rise.
He tried to get up, only to feel something soft and warm on him. He looked down to see his beautiful girlfriend snuggling up to him, a content smile on her face. He smiled back, wishing he didn't have to move, but he really needed to go. So, with a kiss on the forehead, he gently pushed her off of him and made sure to quietly leave the room. Years of stealth missions with Ren made that easy.
Jaune then walked around the manor in just his underwear, remembering that the only thing that should be in the Manor would be him, his girlfriend, and her mother, whom he just realized he hasn't seen since entering the manor. 'Eh, she's bound to be asleep at this time anyway.'
Jaune went around and opened several doors. One door led to a broom closet, another to an empty room. He then found a gym, a library, a room filled with bottles of expensive-looking wine... none of which looked open. It looked more like a collection. Then, he found... a spa room.
'This place really is a maze. Where's the bathroom?' Jaune then tried to open another door, only for it to be locked. Thinking nothing of it, he continued his search. He had no idea that he just tried to go into Weiss and Ruby's room.
Then, he finally found it. The blessed throne. "Oh, thank the gods," he said in relief before rushing in and slamming the door. Fortunately, the slam wasn't that loud and didn't echo, so no beauties were disturbed.
After Jaune used the bathroom, he tried to find his way back to Winter's room... in a dark mansion... that was already a maze.
Yeah, he got lost again.
Still, it took him a while, but he found Winter's room. After all, who else could have such a gorgeous figure? One so flawless that not even the cover of the sheets could hide it. Just seeing it... aroused Jaune again.
As soon as he got into bed with her, Jaune began to trace his fingers around Winter's body, already remembering her favorite spots. He knew he was doing well when she began to moan. Jaune then kissed her back, working his way up to her neck, feeling and enjoying every shiver and gasp she gave. He then grabbed her breasts, teasing her nipples as he lightly bit her neck, earning an especially erotic gasp.
"You're incredibly sexy, Winter."
"J-Jaune?"
"Sorry, my goddess, but I guess I have more than enough for a third round," Jaune said as he turned Winter onto her back, the moon covered by a stray cloud, making it difficult for Jaune to see his girlfriend's face.
"W-Wait. I-"
Jaune didn't let Winter talk. He kissed her before she could get a word out. Still, whatever she was about to say must not have been that important, since she was now clinching him, hands brushing through his hair, soft legs moving up his own, and Winter's warm and soft tongue wrestling against his own.
Then, not being able to wait any longer, he again made love to his goddess of a girlfriend.
Hours passed, but it was still a while before the sun would rise and shine across Solitas.
During this time, Jaune and his lover released a final cry of ecstasy as they both reached their climax. The beauty fell onto Jaune's broad chest, the two panting heavily, both completely exhausted yet satisfied.
"You... really are... an amazing woman... Winter."
"I must be, since you're calling out my name, despite the fact you're not sleeping with me."
Jaune got a blank look when he heard the voice above him. "Eh?" He looked up to see a silhouette. The silhouette of his girlfriend. Said silhouette then reached to the wall and traced upwards, turning on the lights to shine the dark room.
"W-Winter?"
The beautiful general was standing over the bed in her nightgown, which barely hid her dynamite body. She had her arms crossed under her large breasts, looking at Jaune with her famous ice-cold stare.
"B-But how are you... if you're there... then who did I..." Jaune then looked down and lost all color. "M-M-M-M-M-Madame Schnee?!"
Willow then looked up and smiled. "You don't have to call me 'Madame' anymore, Jaune. After last night, I think it's best you call me Willow."
"You mean... I did it... not with my girlfriend... but with her mom?" Jaune then heard the sound of ice crackling with the room getting much colder. He looked up to see Winter preparing her famous chop, with extra ice added for great measure. "This is gonna hurt," he whimpered.
Winter's eyes then shot open. "YOU DEVIANT BOOB!"
A boom so loud occurred that it was heard outside of the manor. In fact, the entire mansion shook from the force of the blow.
Winter was now dragging a dazed Jaune by his hair, not even bothering to so much as put underwear on him.
"Winter?" She turned to look back at her mother. "It has been an exceedingly long time since I've felt like a proper woman, and your friend here is exceptionally skilled. And I do mean exceptional. So, would you mind if I borrowed him every once in a-"
"Don't even think of finishing that, mother. He is my BOYFRIEND. As in MINE. And now I know I need to keep a tighter leash on him to prevent him from molesting my mother."
"You don't have to go that far, Winter."
"Yes. I actually do. A good morning to you, mother," Winter said with a respectful bow as she dragged Jaune out of her mother's room right as the sun began to shine into it.
Willow giggled before looking down at her stomach. She then rubbed it and sighed sadly before laying back on her bed. "It HAD to be a safe day."
"And that, kiddo, is the most embarrassing thing to have ever happened to me on a Dust Day," Jaune said as he was putting another ornament onto the tree.
Argent, sitting cross-legged on the couch, blinked twice at his dad as he watched his father decorate the tree. "How did you know Great Aunt Willow said that last thing?"
Jaune pointed a thumb. Jinn popped her head from behind the tree. "Hello," she went in a singsong tone before hanging a candy cane.
"So... your most embarrassing Dust Day moment... is snuggling with Great Aunt Willow?" Jaune told a more kid-friendly version of the story to his ten-year-old son.
"Yup," he said as he put up some more decorations.
It was quiet for a bit, with only the sound of Jaune and Jinn decorating the tree being heard. "Does that mean Great Aunt Willow could have been my mom?"
Jaune tripped and fell onto the floor, a few decorations falling on him. Jinn snickered at the sight and question. "Why is that always your first question whenever you hear about my past flings," Jaune asked as he sat back up.
"Well, it's a valid question, isn't it? Aunt Winter almost became my mom. Wait, is the reason Aunt Winter isn't my mom because you slept with Great Aunt Willow?"
Jaune sighed. "No. Six months after that, she decided to break up with me after she realized she was still in love with Qrow. More in love with him than with me, to be more accurate."
"Oh. I guess that's for the best. Aunt Winter's pretty, but she's also really scary."
"That she is," Jaune chuckled. "But I still loved her at that time."
"She's still not as pretty as Mom, though."
"Oh, absolutely not," Jaune chuckled.
"DAMN RIGHT," Nimueh called from the kitchen.
"Well, it's good to love your mother," Jinn said as she walked up to the couch and grabbed the star next to Argent.
Argent gave a toothy smile. "She's the best mom in the world, after all."
"Actually, there is a better mom," Jinn said. "Her name is-"
"Don't you fucking dare, Jinn! You know damn well I just need one tiny excuse to beat you like a drum!"
"A bit difficult to do to a lamp, don't you think," Jinn called back teasingly.
"YOU'RE LUCKY MY HUSBAND AND KID LIKE YOU ENOUGH TO CONVINCE ME TO LET YOU LIVE HERE, LITTLE SISTER!"
"And I'm ever so blessed," she called back as she put the star onto the tree.
"Wow. It's really pretty," Argent said as he looked up at the tree in awe.
"Not bad for something thrown together at the end of Dust Day Eve," Jaune said as he looked at the tree with his arms crossed.
"It would look better with presents underneath," Argent said.
"Oi," Jaune said as he bonked his kid, getting a little snicker from the boy. "Be patient. Your Aunt Winter can only do so much."
"Why DOES the Winter Maiden need to be the one to give presents to the children of Remnant?"
"Because her grandpa is the reason Dust Day exists, and she does it to honor the man."
"I kinda feel bad for her now, though. Isn't she busy enough as New Mantle's General and a council member?"
"Well, you just need to let her know how much you appreciate her next time you see her, don't you," Jaune asked as he ruffled his son's hair.
"Nishishi." The doorbell then rang. "No way!" Argent then ran to the door.
"Uh, Nimueh? Were we expecting guests," Jaune called?
"DAD, DAMMIT! ONE HOLIDAY! ONE! CAN'T I HAVE ONE HOLIDAY WITH JUST MY FAMILY AND NO UNWANTED VISITORS?!" SPLAT. "Dammit. We're having mashed potatoes instead of baked," she called.
Argent excitedly opened the door, his eyes aglow.
"Hello, Argent."
"AUNT WINTER!"
Argent excitedly hugged Winter. "It's so great to see you!"
Winter giggled as she patted her "nephew's" shoulders. "It's good to see you, too, my little soldier."
"Hey, where's Shiva?"
"Hello," she said as she popped from behind her mom.
"Shiva, for what reason were you hiding behind your mother," Winter asked sternly.
"To surprise Argent." She grunted a bit when Argent hugged her. "Seems to have worked," she said with a smile.
"Do not do such a thing. You must be more dignified as not only a Schnee but a soldier in the New Mantle Military."
"Yes, General," Shiva said with a salute as she was still petting Argent's head.
"Lay off, Winter." She looked back in annoyance to see Qrow walk up. "This is her cousin's house, not some diplomat's or royal big wig's place. Let her be a thirteen-year-old once in a while, eh?"
"Thank you, dad," Shiva said with a smile.
"No prob, kiddo."
"Qrow, don't undermine my authority in front of our daughter."
"Hey, I'm your husband. That's practically my job."
"HE'S NOT WRONG," Jaune and Nimueh called from inside the house.
"Nishishi. Why are we out in the cold? Let's go inside!"
"A fine idea."
Argent looked towards the voice, his eyes lighting up. "Great Aunt Willow!"
Jaune almost dropped the bottle of wine he took out for Qrow and Winter, barely catching it. "You've gotta be kidding me."
"Heeeeh?" He looked at his wife, who was looking at him with a deadpan expression as she took out a fully cooked roast and turkey out of the oven. "So, two women you slept with are in our house, one of which being your ex, the other being HER MOM."
"It's like a bad soap opera or silly romantic comedy," Jinn giggled as she got the plates out. "At least you never slept with Weiss."
"Just her wife," Nimueh went.
Each and every one of the sisters' words struck Jaune like spears and swords.
"Hey, dad! Aunt Winter, Uncle Qrow, Great Aunt Willow, and Shiva are here!"
"I gathered," Jaune said as he walked in with a bottle of wine. "Any of you three care for some?"
Winter looked at the bottle. "Isn't that Vale Vineyard 05 BB?"
"Yup."
"Kid, you know I don't drink anymore," Qrow said.
"I know you don't GET DRUNK anymore," Jaune said.
Qrow sighed. "Damn. He got me good with that one. You win."
"Willow?"
She smiled. "Oh, my. You're not planning anything, are you, Jaune," she asked as she covered her mouth in an elegant yet bashful manner.
It caused Jaune to jolt a bit, making Winter give him her famous Cold Stare, making even the Grimm King shutter. "W-Willow, I'm married!"
"Mm, that didn't stop either of you two last time I was in your home."
"Last time," Winter asked, a hint of anger in her voice.
"WE DON'T TALK ABOUT THAT," Nimueh yelled from the dining room.
Winter stared at Jaune before glancing at her mother and then seeing someone perfect to help her. "Jinn?"
"DON'T YOU DARE," Nimueh yelled.
Jinn walked from behind Jaune, grabbed the wine, then started filling glass cups as she walked over to the Schnee-Branwen Family. "Willow hired Jaune and Nimueh to do a job behind your back involving gangsters that would have caused immense damage to New Mantle, they completed the job, Willow paid them and offered them a drink, they woke up in the same bed in the nude the next morning," she said as she handed the adults a drink. "Oh, and good girl, Shiva."
"Not a problem," she said with a blush as she was still covering Argent's ears.
"WHAT," Argent went.
Winter looked at her mother with a twitching eyebrow.
"What? I told you he was exceptionally skilled," she said as she took a sip of the wine. "He knows how to make even an old lady like me feel like a woman. . . As does his wife."
"SHUT UP," Nimueh yelled from the dining room.
Winter looked at Jaune with such a cold expression that Jaune was honestly shocked that she wasn't using her Maiden Powers to make him feel so cold. "You degenerate himbo of a boob." Jaune felt like he turned to stone and crumbled into dust as Winter nonchalantly sipped her wine.
She then walked up and smacked him several times in a comedic fashion before sticking her finger in his face. "Don't even DREAM of sharing a bed with my mother while I'm here."
"I'M NOT! I HAVE NIMUEH!"
"And she's not getting into the same bed as her, either."
"I'M NOT BI OR INTO OPEN RELATIONSHIPS! WE GOT DRUNK! SIMPLE AS THAT!"
Winter then swiped the bottle out of Jaune's hand. "Then no drinking for you two," she said as she froze the bottle, turning the wine into ice.
Jaune stared at the bottle before looking at Winter then looking at Willow, who had one arm under her still healthy, perky breasts. Unfortunately for him, Willow noticed his gaze and lifted her arm higher while giving him a teasing look, making him blush and earning another slap from Winter. "That's probably for the best," he groaned out.
"It's fortunate that you're intelligent," Winter said as she took another sip of her wine. "Oh, I almost forgot." She then took out a button and pressed it. Four drones then opened the door and brought in a present each, placing them under the tree. "A Dust Day gift for each of you," she said as she sipped more wine.
"So THAT'S how you get presents all over the world in one night," Argent said innocently.
Winter looked at Argent before looking at Jaune in a deadpan manner. "You told him that silly fairy tale didn't you."
"Yeah."
Winter sighed before looking at the innocent wonder in Argent's eyes as he watched the drones leave before looking back at the boy's father. "You're lucky he's cute."
"I'M NOT CUTE!"
"Alright, that's enough of all that," Qrow said as he placed his empty glass on a nearby table. "We expecting anyone else or are we gonna eat?"
"We weren't even expecting you," Jaune said as he slumped over.
"Really? You made a whole turkey and a whole roast for just the four of you," Qrow asked.
"And a goose," Jinn called from the kitchen.
"Uh, why so much food, uncle," Shiva asked.
"Sweetheart, with my luck? No way was I going to take a chance. Just look at your parents," Jaune said.
That got a giggle out of Shiva. "That's a good point. Oddly enough, mother wanted to call, but father convinced her not to."
"Are you still pissed about Arie," Jaune asked Qrow?
"Kid, I will never STOP being pissed about that. Ten years of me being an alright uncle to Arie because I didn't know he was Ruby's son. I hold a grudge. Hell, I still want to kill you for Sparrow."
Jaune groaned. "Fair enough."
The doorbell then rang.
Jaune groaned as he pulled his hand over his face. "Please be the Rens."
Jaune then walked over and opened the door. He stared out with a deadpan expression before looking back at Qrow. "I blame your damned Semblance, Branwen!"
"Well, Happy Dust Day to you, too," Ruby said with puffed-up cheeks.
Argent popped his head past his dad. "Hi, mom."
"Hi, cookie," Ruby said with a smile and wave.
"Well, would you be so kind as to invite us in," Weiss went.
Jaune sighed. "Silber, could you please keep the peace once your family enters?"
Silber saluted. "I swear on my family name and my honor as a soldier."
"There is a ridiculously beautiful woman in this house that is bound to be proud of you for saying that."
"I most certainly am," Winter called.
Weiss's eyes widened. "Winter?!"
Jaune pulled the door open before Weiss could barrel through, the company president walking in and looking shocked. "MOTHER?!"
"Weiss, I thought you were raised better than to not only come in before being invited but to yell in a host's house in such a barbaric manner," Winter chastised.
"A-Apologies, Winter," Weiss said with a bow. "Um, why are you and mother here?"
"Seriously. All that's missing is Whitley, and the entire Schnee family would be here," Jaune grumbled.
"You don't have to worry about that. Whitely is on Vytal Island for some business meetings," Willow said.
"There is no real reason to respond to that question, but if you must know, I wanted to visit Argent and see how this boob was treating him on Dust Day. He is doing an adequate job, I suppose," she said as she gave a snide and teasing smile to Jaune.
"I swear, your wife must really hate me or love to tease me," Jaune growled at Qrow.
"You're her ex. What did you expect?"
"And how many of YOUR exes treat you like this?!"
"None. Haven't seen any of my exes in years."
"Wait, seriously?"
"Hey, not everyone gets to have a clean breakup with their lady friends. Seriously, how is it that every woman who has ever dumped you still likes you enough to want to be friends?"
"Oh, come on! You make it sound like I cheated on my girlfriends! We broke up cleanly because I was always loyal. The only time I ever broke up with anyone was because we found out we were better as friends, our duties wouldn't let us be together, or they were in love with someone else."
"Or for another reason," Jinn stated.
Jaune was about to say something before he looked down in sadness, sighing in a depressing way.
Nimueh warped into the room just to smack the back of Jinn's head. "Nice going, moron," she gritted.
"Maybe that was too far," she said as she rubbed the back of her head.
"The point is, I don't have bad blood with my exes. We live our lives, we still respect each other, and that's that. I have no bad breakups. Regrettable ones, but none of them were bad."
"How was your breakup with mom," Argent asked, making everyone involved jolt.
"That's... way more complicated, kiddo."
The doorbell rang again. Jaune immediately warped to the door. "Please, please, please, pleeeeease," he muttered as he opened the door.
"HAPPY DUST DAY," Nora went.
"Happy Dust Da-OOMPH," Ren went in surprise.
"Ooop," Nora went in surprise.
"You have NO idea how happy I am that you two are here," Jaune said as he hugged his teammates.
"Hey, how come I don't get a hug," Lyra asked with a pout. She was then hugged by Jaune's summoned Nevermore wing. "Wow, it's warm."
"Come in! Please, come in," Jaune went as he pushed (and carried in Lyra's case) the Ren family into the house.
"What the- Jaune, you were having a party without inviting us?! I thought we were family," Nora pouted.
"AUNT NORA!"
Nora looked in time to catch Argent, spinning around and kissing his cheek before holding him in front of his dad. "I mean, come on! How can you deny this kid his favorite aunt?!"
Yang's cowlick shot up. "Come on, dad! We need to go," she called from the car.
"I'm coming," he called as he was carrying a pot out of his house.
"Something wrong, mom," Verde asked.
"Nora is trying to take my place as Arie's favorite aunt again. This will not stand."
Blake sighed.
"Trust me, Nora. I'm not throwing a party. Everyone just began to show up at my house... AGAIN."
"You're still unhappy about the Day of Gratitude, aren't you," Ren asked.
"EVERYONE JUST RANDOMLY SHOWED UP! OF COURSE, WE'RE STILL PISSED," Nimueh called from the hallways as she was carrying-
"IS THAT A GINGERBREAD HOUSE," Nora called in excitement.
Nimueh sighed. "Yes, it's a gingerbread ho- WHOA!" Nimueh held up her foot in time to stop Nora.
"GIMMEGIMMEGIMMEGIMME! JAUNE MAKES THE BEST GINGERBREAD!"
"I helped make it this year," Argent bragged.
"NOW IT'S EVEN BETTER! GIMMEGIMMEGIMME!"
"DOWN, GIRL," Nimueh said as she was able to redirect Nora into a wall. "Food first. Dessert later," Nimueh huffed as she carried the food into the dining room.
"Damn. Your girl sure does know how to keep people in line," Qrow said as he elbowed Jaune.
"That's my wife," Jaune said with pride, crossing his arms.
A doorbell was heard again.
Jaune groaned. "Please let it be some thug with a grudge. I need something to punch," Jaune said as he walked to the door.
"Why would it be a thug with a grudge," Ruby asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Actually, we've been attacked on Dust Day before," Argent said.
"What," Ruby, Weiss, and Winter went in unison.
"What did you expect? Jaune is the greatest Huntsman in the world. Of course, my dear brother-in-law is going to have enemies," Jinn said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
Ruby and Weiss stared at Jinn before looking at each other then at Winter. "Next year, Arie's spending Dust Day with us," they said to the elder Schnee.
"Agreed," she said.
"I HEARD THAT," Jaune and Nimueh yelled in unison.
Jaune then opened the door. "Oh, Blake. How could you," Jaune said as he slumped over.
"Couldn't stop her if I tried."
"Did she, Verde," Jaune asked his niece?
"We both did," she sighed.
"Get used to me, hero! Happy Dust Day!"
"And a Happy New Year," Tai went as he held up his pot of stew.
"Yang? Dad?!"
Yang pushed the door open, pushing Jaune into the wall. "RUBY!"
"Aunt Yang! Grandpa Tai!"
"HE FINALLY CALLED ME GRANDPA," Tai cheered as he threw his stew into the air, Verde barely catching it in time without spilling anything.
As Yang and Tai were hugging the laughing Ruby and Argent, Blake closed the door and helped Jaune out of the wall, rubbing his face as she and her daughter bowed profusely. "We're so sorry for their behavior," they went in embarrassment.
Jaune's anger caused his hologram to flicker a bit, showing off his true form for a split second before turning to the Faunus women. "Keep. Them. In. Line," he said through gritted teeth.
"We'll try," they said.
Jaune then looked at the entire crowd inside of his house and sighed. "This is going to be a LOOONG Dust Day.
Everyone was now at the table, a now annoyed Nimueh pouting next to Jaune, who was watching Tai and Qrow argue about who would carve the goose with a twitching eyebrow. "Shouldn't I be carving the damn thing? It's my damn house."
"What I want to know is why everyone is in our damn house, to begin with," Nimueh grumbled.
Jaune's eyes then widened. "Wait a minute, why IS everyone at my house?!" Everyone looked at him. "Wouldn't it make more sense to hold a Dust Day Party at the Schnee Manor? Last time I checked, Willow's house was twice the size of mine."
Weiss cleared her throat. "Don't you mean MY house?"
"Ah. Right. You're the head of the house."
"Well, to answer your question, Jaune," Willow began, Jaune looking at the smiling beauty. "Your house has a more... homey feeling than our dreary home."
Jaune stared at the beauty before looking around. His house was most certainly bright and vibrant. The Schnee Manor, on the other hand. . . "I hate it when they have a good point," Jaune said.
"Ditto," Nimueh said.
"I think Aunt Weiss's house looks pretty cool. Like a video game castle, like from Salemvania, or Grimm Souls," Argent said.
"I'm starting to think I let you play too many video games," Jaune went.
"I'm glad you like our house, Argent," Winter said. "Especially since you're spending Dust Day with us next year."
"I am," Argent asked with slight excitement.
"Second it," Ruby said.
"Here, here," Weiss went.
"What in the- Jaune," Nimueh yelled.
"I'm not gonna fight it," Jaune said as his head slammed on the table.
Nimueh groaned as she slumped onto the table. "Only thing that could make this worse is if Raven was here with Sparrow. Wonder what they're doing, anyway?"
Meanwhile:
"CHEERS," the Branwen clan went as they clanked their mugs together, Sparrow leading the toast as his mother and fiancée watched from their special table. "TO ANOTHER VICTORY FOR THE BRANWEN CLAN! LET'S DRINK OURSELVES EVEN DUMBER THAN BEFORE!" The bandits cheered at their future leader's proposition, Raven giggling at her son's antics.
"Well, shall we proceed with cutting the goose," Ren asked as he grabbed the carving knife.
"Hey! I was going to do it," Tai went.
"Na-ah! You did it almost every year when we were in STRQ! Time someone else cut the bird," Qrow yelled.
"Isn't it kinda weird for Qrow, who can turn into a bird, to carve another bird," Nora asked?
"THANK YOU," Tai went.
Qrow and Tai continued to argue.
"Uh, grandpa? Uncle," Verde went.
"What," they both yelled. She merely pointed. They looked to see that Jinn had already taken the carving knife from Ren and began serving everyone.
"Hm? What? You two were taking too long arguing," Jinn went innocently.
"And I'm hungry," Lyra pouted innocently. Qrow and Tai slouched over in defeat.
After everyone had a plate, Jaune, Nimueh, and Jinn served the adults some wine, while the kids got eggnog made by Jinn herself. Ren wanted to serve special seaweed eggnog, but Jaune's parental instincts went on overdrive, so he took one for the team and guzzled half of it, when he couldn't finish it and Argent got curious, Nimueh, who knew of Ren's dangerous potions, finished off the rest of it. Later on, they'd know that that was either a really, really good or a really, really bad idea. But for now, they both groaned on the floor, Nora tearfully patting their backs while thanking them.
"I will never forget either of you," Nora wept.
"Remember us... for who we were," Jaune and Nimueh went as they raised their hands upward.
Nora grabbed their hands, holding them tightly. "I will. I will. I promise to raise Arie well."
"Aren't you three being a bit dramatic," Ren asked.
"YOU DON'T KNOW THE HORROR OF YOUR POTIONS," the three yelled in unison.
"It's a protein shake, not a potion. And it is far more heart-healthy than the red wine you like to drink so much, Jaune."
"Hey, I only drink on special occasions!"
"It's true. The man only drinks on holidays or one of our dates," Nimueh explained.
"You still go on dates," Ruby asked.
"Don't you," JNR, Yang, and Blake asked.
Ruby jolted a bit while Winter and Weiss remained unphased. However, Qrow sighed.
"Y-Yeah. Of course, I still go on dates with my wife." Ruby laughed nervously.
"Kinda wish I could go on dates again," Qrow said.
"Excuse me," Winter went in annoyance.
"With my wife. With my wife! You're so damn busy that I feel like I barely see you anymore, babe."
"Oh, I know that feeling," Jaune mumbled. "When we dated, we spent most of our time together on missions. But damn, did she look good fighting."
"Doesn't she? Like a damned work of art," Qrow bragged.
"Right? It's honestly a turn-on to see her kick some loser's ass."
"Speaking of asses, she has a damn good one."
"Oh-ho, yeah, she does!" Jaune and Qrow fist-bumped as they laughed. "And not just the ass."
"I know what you mean! My girl's got a nice pair o-"
"Ahem." The two jolted when Winter did that. "Are you two done fawning over me, yet?"
Before either man could do anything other than shake in both fear and embarrassment, Jaune was grabbed in a one-armed choke hold by Nimueh. "H-o-n-e-y~," she all but growled out.
"I'llbegood," he muttered out while looking down.
"I know," she said as she dragged her husband back to his seat.
"How vulgar," Weiss muttered with a blush. "Fawning over my sister in such a manner. My MARRIED sister."
"I'm kinda jealous," Ruby muttered so quietly that it was almost inaudible.
"Hm? What was that Ruby," Weiss asked.
Ruby jolted. "I said it's gross. I get that he dated her and still probably has feelings for her, but he should move on."
"I'M MARRIED!"
"THEN DON'T FLIRT WITH YOUR EX!"
"I WASN'T!"
"Though I do admit I enjoy being seen as attractive," Winter began, gaining everyone's attention. "I would rather it be done in a less public way," she said as she sipped her wine. "Even from you, Qrow," she deadpanned as she glanced at her husband.
"Yes, babe," Qrow went in embarrassment before chugging down his wine.
Jaune did the same... and shook his head. "What the-?"
"Something wrong, dad?"
"Nah. I'm just... feeling a bit hot?"
"You? You're getting drunk already," Nimueh asked.
"No. It's not a drunk heat. More like, seriously thirsty. WHOA," Jaune went after Jinn placed an ice-cold glass of water on his cheek. "Jinn?!"
"Will this help?"
"Uh, thanks." Jaune accepted the glass and chugged it down, shaking his head again.
Nimueh also groaned. "I'm feeling kinda hot myself."
"Here," Jinn said.
"Why are you so prepared," Nimueh asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Don't you want the water," Jinn asked.
Nimueh stared at her sister suspiciously before the heat got to her. She then took the glass and chugged it down.
The Dust Day dinner continued like this: eating, drinking, and merry-making. The family was happily laughing and enjoying each other.
And all the while, Jaune and Nimueh were feeling hotter and hotter, until their vision became blurry.
Then, the couple and reluctant hosts blacked out.
Jaune was awakened by the first light of Dust Day. He groaned as he sat up, holding his head. "A hangover? How much did I drink?"
SQUISH. "Ah~ "
Jaune went pale enough to make you think he took off his watch. "Please, be Nimueh. Please, be Nimueh. Please, be Nimueh."
He then looked at his right hand, his jaw-dropping. "W-W-W-W-W-Willow," he whispered.
Next to him was indeed the beautiful mother of the Schnee sisters, her natural beauty for all to see.
He then heard a sleepy moan. He looked and was relieved to see his wife next to him but jumped when he felt something move on his stomach. He looked down to see... "Jinn," he whispered. "Oh, crap. Nimueh's gonna kill me if she finds out I slept with her sister."
"She'd be hypocritical to do so," Jinn went.
Jaune shuttered. "You're awake?"
She opened one eye. "With how much you're moving, how could that not wake me up?" She then sat up, showing off her own natural beauty. Unfortunately for Jaune, he was a sexually healthy male with a gorgeous woman atop him. "Like what you see, dear brother-in-law? Oh! I suppose you do," she giggled, Jaune turning beet red due to his sword against Jinn's buns.
"Oh, gods, I cheated on my wife. I cheated on my wife with her sister."
"Not exactly."
"Eh?"
"You and my sister were working together to pleasure myself and our dear Willow here. And that's why she'd be a hypocrite for being angry. Besides, though you were both absolute beasts, she was more feral than even you."
"Come again?"
Jinn pointed at her breasts, showing bite marks on them, before moving the covers on Willow to show she had some bite marks on her cheek and a few scratches on her back. "Marriage to you seems to have made my sister into quite the fiend."
Jaune's jaw dropped, both at the revelation of how much of a freak his wife is, how sexy that is, and how sexy Willow is. He then shook his head. "She won't buy that. You know this."
"I do."
Jaune then gently picked Jinn up from off of him, placed her on the free side of Willow, got out of bed, and lifted Nimueh princess style. "I'm going to one of the spare rooms."
"Are you sure you should be walking around with such a dangerous weapon, especially when you're carrying my sister," Jinn asked teasingly? "What if you stab my dear, sweet Nimueh?"
Jaune looked down at his hot wife and gulped. "I might do that anyway." Jaune then ran out of the room, Jinn giggling the entire time.
Jinn then heard a moan and looked to see Willow opening her eyes. "Hm? What?"
"Oh, my." Willow looked up. "And who gave you permission to wake up?"
"Ms. Jinn? What are you do- Mm?!" Willow was surprised when Jinn kissed her.
They parted with a string of saliva still connecting them. "Now, now. We still have some time before everyone else wakes up."
"What are you-? Wait. Wai- Aaah~ "
Jaune ran through the hallway, knocking on doors before opening them, using his Grimm hearing to use echolocation. The first door... had Winter and Qrow inside the room. The next one had Ruby and Weiss inside. Then, it was Yang and Blake. The next one had Ren and Nora, and from what the echo told Jaune, those two had a night as interesting as he did.
Jaune then ran past Argent's room... at first. Worry gripping him, he backed up and knocked on the door. He saw Argent... Lyra... Silber, and Verde in his room. Fortunately, he heard Argent's scroll in his hand. He also heard the girls with their scrolls, letting Jaune know that they fell asleep playing games. "Oh, thank the gods."
Jaune finally found an empty guest room and took his wife inside and gently placed her on the bed. Then, he saw her in the light, his eyes widening as he gulped lustfully. He just couldn't resist.
He started to kiss her body up to her neck before doing her favorite vampire play, biting Nimueh's neck. "Ah~?! Jaune, you lustful beast. It's morning. Nn," she went as he rubbed her breasts.
"You're point," Jaune asked before he began to suck.
"M-My point is... Everyone is going to, nn, going to wake up s-ah!"
"I think we have enough time for a quick session."
Nimueh then grabbed Jaune's head, making him look her in the eyes. She was glaring into them, looking angry, before her eyes narrowed. "A quick one only."
"A quick one only," Jaune promised.
Nimueh then kissed Jaune passionately, the two falling across the bed.
One hour later
The two walked out of the room in bathrobes, steam following them.
"It was supposed to be quick," Nimueh complained.
"That was quick for us."
"Half an hour is quick, honey. Why were we in a guest room, anyway?"
Jaune shrugged. "Let's get to our room so we can put on some actual clothes."
"Agreed."
When the couple reached their room and opened their door, they were greeted by steam.
"Mm, less than ours," Jaune went.
"Is that a challenge?"
Nimueh looked annoyed. "Jinn, why are you in my room... with Willow Schnee panting on top of you?"
Jinn giggled before she kissed Willow's head. "Why aren't you two in here with us?"
"I'm not going to do it with my o-"
"Weren't... they... already with us," Willow panted.
The three jolted.
"What," Nimueh went as she glared at Jaune, who looked away in fear, while Jinn was whistling innocently.
Nimueh... then cracked her knuckles.
Jaune, Willow, and Jinn were sitting seiza style, the girls on either side of Jaune, all with bumps on their heads.
"And you wonder why everyone calls you a himbo," Nimueh said as she was getting dressed. "For the love of my damned creators, you still had enough of libido to have sex with me this morning! What does it take to keep your sword in its sheath, hero?! Do I need to empty you every few minutes," she lectured as she leaned down towards Jaune with her hands on her hips. "And you! How can you still have the energy to keep up with this horn dog after three whole kids?!"
"It's easier than you'd think. Women get frustrated, alright? Not that you would understand with a husband like Jaune. What's worse is that you actually have a husband worth loving and who's skilled in bed," Willow said as she turned her head away from the beauty.
"I... cannot argue with that. But you? You've got a lot of guts, Jinn. What made you think you could have sex with MY husband WITHOUT pissing me off?"
"Well, in my defense..."
"Ah? Come on. I'm waiting," she went through gritted teeth.
"You were involved in the act."
Nimueh's expression went blank. "Huh?"
"And you were just as skilled as Jaune," Willow reminisced. "You two are so dangerously skilled together. It was like making love with two wild beasts."
"How can you make that comparison," Jaune asked with a deep blush.
Willow then looked right at him. "Because I have experience making love with one of those wild beasts. I'm honestly impressed that Winter chose her current husband over you."
Jaune slumped over with a sigh. "This is gonna hurt."
"What is," Willow asked. She then looked up to see Nimueh preparing her famous chop. "Oh."
BONK. BONK. BONK.
"Why me, too," Jinn asked.
Later, the four left the master bedroom at the same time.
"Urgh!?"
They looked toward the voice.
"Oh, crap," Jaune went with a slump as he looked into Winter's eyes as she was leaving her room with Qrow.
Qrow whistled. "Not bad, hero."
Winter's eyes were shadowed, the woman shaking as her eyes began to glow. "You... You..."
"YOU DEVIANT BOOB!" The entire mansion shook.
Later, everyone was opening their Dust Day presents, save for Jaune, who was cooking the Dust Day breakfast, ignoring the ice on his head where Winter chopped him. 'What is it with beautiful women either slapping me or chopping me?'
"Do you need help?"
Jaune looked to see Ren walk up next to him, already opening cupboards to see what he could use. "Nora Pancake Mountain?"
"Nora and LYRA Pancake Mountain."
"Aah."
The two were fixing the meal in silence for a bit.
"You know, you're very loud."
"Did we wake you and Nora up or something?"
"I meant last night."
Jaune jolted. "Does... everyone-"
"Except for Winter at the time. She drank too much and passed out a little after you and Nimueh did."
Jaune groaned loudly. "I don't know what the hell happened. I mean, I've gotten drunk before, but never that badly! I didn't even feel a damned buzz! I felt hot after... I... drank. . . Ren, did you have any more of that potion?"
"It's a shake. Though, yes, I did. However, only Nora and I dra-"
Jaune grabbed Ren by the apron. "What did you two do later that night."
Ren blushed and looked away. "I'll admit, it was one of our more enjoyable nights, but I don't see-"
"YOU MADE A DAMNED APHRODISIAC!" Nimueh was drinking eggnog when Jaune yelled that, only for her to do a spit take. "YOU MIGHT AS WELL HAVE MADE LIQUID VIAGRA!"
Ruby's jaw dropped while Nimueh was turning a deep red.
"And he figures it out," Jinn said.
"YOU KNEW," Nimueh yelled at her sister. Jinn just gave her famous smile, making Nimueh groan. "Of course, you did."
"Wait a mi- YOU ALMOST GAVE THAT TO ARGENT!"
"Well, I honestly didn't know it would affect the libido," Ren defended.
"NO EXCUSES! I'M NOT READY TO BE A GRANDPA, AND ARIE AND LYRA ARE TOO YOUNG ANYWAY!" The two kids turned red as they both unintentionally tore their presents in half, the gift inside falling to the ground.
"I agree. Believe me, that wasn't my inte-"
"SHUT UP," the kids went as they tackled their fathers.
Nimueh slumped down onto her couch, her hand on her head. "Sometimes I hate family."
Later, the family enjoyed the breakfast Jaune and Ren cooked, using the leftover ham from the dinner, cheesy scrambled eggs, hashbrowns, bacon, sausage, pancake mountains, french toast, waffles, and a nice salad with a bowl of fruit to go with it. In short, it was the best possible way to enjoy the first meal of Dust Day.
After a while, everyone began to leave. Tai, Yang, Blake, and Verde were the first to leave. Ren, Nora, and Lyra were next. Then, it was Ruby, Weiss, and Silber's turn, the mother giving her son a goodbye hug. "See you next time, Cookie."
"By, mom."
"Next year, you're spending Dust Day at my house."
"REALLY," Argent asked excitedly.
"Whoa! When the hell did we agree on that," Jaune yelled.
"I thought Ren's potion made us horny, not gullible," Nimueh yelled.
"Oh, be quiet. Let the boy choose," Weiss went.
Jaune growled before he sighed. "So, kiddo, you wanna spend Dust Day with your mom in New Mantle next year?"
"Yeah! I wanna get to see Big Sis Elm again," he cheered. Elm then sneezed, the powerful beauty slamming her hammer onto a Beowolf twice as hard, turning it into a pancake before it could fade away.
"Eh," Ruby went.
"That would mean spending more time with me, sweetheart," Winter said.
"I don't mind. I love spending time with you and Shiva. You guys are fun. Kinda scary, but still fun," Argent said with a smile.
"Oh, my," Shiva went with a light blush while her mother was blushing more obviously.
"Damn. Kid's got skills," Qrow said.
Ruby sighed in depression. "He'd rather spend more time with friends than his own mom."
"S-Sorry, mom," Argent went nervously, trying to console his mother.
Ruby giggled. "I'm just messing with you, Cookie," she said as she ruffled his hair, making it look like hers by accident. "I love it when your hair does that. Bye, Cookie. Later, hero," Ruby said with a wave as her family walked away.
"Well, until next time, Jaune," Winter said as her family walked away, Winter walking like a dignified soldier, Qrow in his usual slouch, and Shiva walking in her casual mix of the two.
"Jaune?" He looked at Willow. "You're always welcome at the Schnee Manor." When Willow said that, Weiss and Winter quickly looked back at him, their faces shadowed with a single ice blue orb glowing at him.
Jaune shuttered before grabbing Nimueh and pulling her in front of him. "Not without my wife!"
"I don't mind."
The two shuttered. "N-Not until you hit menopause, lady!"
"Ooh. Now I REALLY don't mind," she said as she walked away with a sensual step. Groaning, both daughters followed their mother onto their ship before flying away.
"We can't win against her, can we," Nimueh asked.
"Nope."
The Arcs watched as their forest soon became empty.
"Honey?"
"Yeah?"
"I hate our family."
"Yeah."
". . . I like them," Argent said.
Mother and father then patted their son's head. "Glad you do, kiddo/sweetie."
And so ends the Arc's hectic yet oddly enjoyable Dust Day.
A/N: And that's the last special for a good while! After two specials and a movie, we finally get to return to canon next week. Trust me, I had a crazy amount of fun in the New Mantle Arc. Look forward to next week, people. Don't forget to leave a review.
Until next time!
