Neptune paced back and forth, quietly trying to hype himself up enough so he'd have the courage to enter his own dorm. "This is ridiculous..." He muttered to himself "I shouldn't be this worried about Pyrrha..." Despite this, he made no progress getting closer to the door "Dammit!" He cursed a little too loudly.
"Neptune?" Came the painfully sweet voice of Pyrrha as she called out from behind the closed door.
He froze as if he had done something wrong as the door opened, revealing the tall, slender, crimson haired girl that he had been so worried about confronting. She was wearing a deep green apron over her white summer dress and oh god! She was hot!
Neptune swallowed the lump in his throat and got ready to speak, but Pyrrha had beaten him to it.
"I was worried about you!" She frowned "You ran out, pale as a ghost. I thought you weren't feeling to great." The girl clasped her hands around his, pulling him close "So, I made you some stew to make you feel better!" She shot him a wide smile.
An awkward laugh escaped his lips. She was always like this, overly caring and too friendly for her own good. Not that he disliked her, but she did come across as overbearing to the max "Heh, thanks Pyrrha..." He let himself be dragged into his own dorm and was led over to the couch.
"You sit right here." She planted him onto the seat "I'll go grab the food for you!"
"Th-Thanks!" He blurted out awkwardly. He sat there in silence as he was handed a steaming bowl of the stew and as Pyrrha sat down next to him.
"When do you think Jaune will be back?" She beamed at the blue haired boy.
"Not until Monday." Neptune answered before the realisation hit him and he covered his mouth "Pyrrha, don't take this the wrong way, but I don't think you should see Jaune." He said sternly.
"Oh..." Pyrrha's, seemingly unwavering smile, faltered.
Neptune noticed the girls mood drop and instantly felt bad, he was friends with her and Jaune after all. When did things get so difficult? "We're friends, aren't we? How about we do something?" He suggested "It has been over a year since we last hung out."
Pyrrha held a conflicted look "It's 4am. What can we possible do at this time?"
"Oh, I have an idea." Neptune smiled slyly.

"I don't wanna close my eyessss, I don't wanna fall asleep, Cause I'd miss you babyyyyyy!" Scarlet sung his heart out as the rest of the group cheered him on "And I don't wanna miss a thinggggg!"
The group left the Shattered Moon soon after Scarlet had introduced the others.
Sage was a large, dark skinned boy with dark green hair. His shirt barely fit over his large frame, but despite his intimidating appearance, he was quite the softie. He was nothing but polite to Weiss and Jaune but his main focus was on the confident purple haired girl sat next to him.
Nebula, a confident, quirky young lady with shoulder length indigo hair. She wore a light grey jumpsuit with a simple pair of converse. She was more than happy to have two more people join their 'group sesh!' as she had put it.
The last girl on the other hand was less welcoming, well, to Weiss at least. Octavia, looked uninterested at every attempt Weiss gave to communicate with her, but as soon as she had heard that Jaune and Weiss weren't a couple, she had made her move. Only putting in effort with the blonde boy. Twirling her hair and slightly adjusting her cleavage in hope the boy would show some form of interest in her.
Not that it bothered her, but Weiss found it hilarious every time Octavia attempted to flirt with him, he'd just change the subject. She sat there sipping her mojito through a goofy grin.
"Wooo!" Scarlet cheered, forcing himself in between Jaune and the thirsty girl "What did ya think of that performance?" He asked the group, picking up his cider and taking a large gulp of the fruity drink.
"We get it." Sage smirked playfully "You can sing." This earned him a giggle from Nebula as he blushed lightly.
"It was alright." Octavia huffed, crossing her arms in annoyance at the sudden intrusion between her and her mark.
"What did you two think?" He turned to the newcomers of the group "Bet you didn't expect me to be this talented." He winked at Jaune.
"Umm..." Jaune managed to stammer out.
Luckily for him, Weiss was there to back him up "You do know that I'm a professional singer?" She verbally flexed on the playfully arrogant redhead.
"Ooooooh! I smell a competitive friendship forming!" Nebula snorted, slamming her, now empty glass, on the table.
"I'll go get the next round." Sage said after noticing everyone else's drinks were almost empty "Same again?" He asked, receiving several nods in response.
Jaune saw this as an opportunity and hopped to his feet, much to Octavia's protests. Even Scarlet looked a bit sad at the boy moving. "I'll help you." He nodded to the much larger boy "Won't be long, Weiss."
"Okayy~" Weiss sung, eyes shut with a tipsy smile, earning herself a glare.
Jaune and Sage left the room and lord was the blonde thankful. "Stressed?" Sage asked as they walked down the hallway to the bar.
"Not really." Jaune shrugged "Just not great at the whole 'making friends' thing." They passed the other occupied rooms and made it to the quiet bar.
"They can be a handful." The large boy chuckled "But they're good people. Just gotta give them a chance." He waved politely to the bar staff and proceeded to order another round.
Jaune pulled out his phone as Sage conversed with the bar staff. He went to open the myriad of messages that had been sent, but hesitated. He had come up to Argus to get away from all that drama, to just take a break from his usual life. He sighed silently and shoved his phone back into his pocket.
"A shot for your thoughts?" Sage asked.
"I'll take a shot, but you won't be getting any sob story out of me." Jaune smiled. The two boys picked up the shots, clinked the glasses and threw it back. Jaune let out a hiss as the liquor travelled down his throat, leaving a burning sensation "Jesus!" Jaune said in between coughs "The fuck was that?"
"That was a mistake..." Sage grimaced himself, gently placing the shot glass back on the bar, regret in every movement. He shook his head in an attempt to rid the vile taste in his mouth and picked up the tray of drinks.
"Never drinking anything you hand me again..." Jaune said, following Sage back to the room. As soon as he entered he was under Weiss' spell.
"Wise men say, only fools rush in. But I can't help, falling in loveeeeeeeeeee with youuuuu~" Weiss sung gently, yet her voice held dominance over the room.
Nebula snaked an arm around Sage and rest her head on his arm. It was pretty hard to tell, but her cheeks were stained a light pink as she listened to the white haired girl sing.
"Woah..." Scarlet said in amazement from the first line of the song alone. Even Octavia looked impressed.
Jaune noticed none of these things, as he couldn't break his gaze from the songstress. He felt a strange weight being lifted from him. 'Oh...' He thought 'This must be what it feels like to be at peace...'
"Take my hand, take my whole life too~" She continued to sing as if in her own little world, unaware of the impact she was having on the others "For I can't help falling in loveeeeee with youuuuuuu~"
He felt something warm roll down his cheek and quickly wiped at his eyes before anyone could see "Damn it..." He smiled sadly, not wanting this song to end. He was sure the alcohol was affecting his mind, but he was okay with it. The feeling he was currently experiencing was a welcome one. But sadly, the song did come to an end, with Weiss standing there awkwardly.
"Umm, what did you guys think?" She blushed nervously.
"You win this round." Scarlet laughed, shooting her a thumbs up.
Octavia hopped up to her feet, preparing for her song "It was amazing, you're really talented." She complimented.
"Thank you!" Weiss beamed, taking a seat "Jaune?"
Jaune was brought back to reality "It was good." He pat her head and smiled, taking the seat next to her "I enjoyed it."
"Thanks!" She squealed, going red.
"Are you sure you're not dating?" Nebula asked.

It was 6am when Sun woke up. He lazily got up and stretched, tired from not having a full nights rest. "Who needs sleep anyway?" He groaned, getting to his feet.
"I do, so shut up..." Ilia answered from under the cover.
"Not a morning person?"
A loud yawn "I am defo a morning a person..." She replied "Just not an early morning person." She sat up and wiped the sleep from her tired, grey eyes.
"Coffee?" Sun offered, walking over to the kitchen.
"Mmm." She drawled in response "Milk and two sugars." She laid back down and shut her eyes.
Sun quickly came back with two mugs of coffee, placing one down on the table, close to Ilia "Any plans for the day?"
"Not any more." She didn't bother open her eyes "Seeing as I no longer need to stalk you, I have no plans for the next couple of days."
"Just how long were you planning on following me?" The boy laughed "Well, seeing as you have no plans. How about you hang out with me?" He suggested.
"Hmm, I'll think about it..."

Weiss had a problem. A problem she promised she would let die. A problem she couldn't seem to let die. Jaune Arc. Every time he complimented her and smiled at her, her heart would seem to flutter against her will. She felt terrible. She had tried to bury her feelings and play them off as just wanting some affection in her life, but she couldn't be more wrong.
The duo had just gotten back to Saphron's house and the sun was just beginning to rise. Their night ended with them exchanging numbers with their new friends and promises of doing this again sometime.
Jaune had informed her that Saphron would be at work already, so they had an empty house for a few hours. The thought caused her stomach to tie in an anxious knot.
They stopped as they got to Jaune's room and he turned to face her "I had a really fun time tonight, Weiss." He said "Thank you for coming."
There it was... That damn smile... "It was my pleasure..." She replied, avoiding eye contact "Thank you too. I didn't know what I was going to do after Winter had flaked on me."
Jaune placed a hand on her head "Anytime. If I'm being completely honest, I didn't really want tonight to end."
She didn't know if it was the alcohol that was making Jaune act more open, or if he truly was more comfortable away from Vale, but she wasn't complaining. "It doesn't have to end..." She spoke in a quiet voice. Her heart was thumping so loud she swore Jaune would have heard it if he had listened closely. She closed her eyes and readied herself for the rejection she was sure was coming.
"What did you have in mind?" Jaune's voice was also low as he seemed to close the distance a little.
Weiss opened her eyes and was met with a set of ocean blue eyes smiling down at her "Don't make me say it..." She hushed, getting on her tip toes and moving closer to those eyes.
"Weiss." Jaune moved to meet her halfway and was soon met with a soft pair of lips pushing against his.
It was a soft kiss, but electricity shot through them both as they deepened the lock they were in. Weiss had never felt something more passionate than this kiss. In all her years she never would have thought something as simple as a kiss could cause her to melt.
As quickly as it started it was over, much to the disappointment of both participants. Weiss grabbed his hand and gently tugged him into the bedroom. He complied and let himself get led by the girl over to the bed. She leant up and captured his lips once more with the same gentleness as the last.
Jaune planted his hands on her hip and slowly fell onto the mattress. Weiss had one hand caressing his cheek and the other planted firmly on his chest. This was a new feeling for Weiss, never had someone been so gentle and caring towards her.
"Weiss." Jaune broke apart from the kiss "I don't w-" He was cut off.
"It's fine." She smiled reassuringly "I don't want to have sex tonight either." She kissed him again "I'm happy with just this."
"Thank you." He smiled, pulling her close to him and spooning her "I needed this. Whatever this is. So thank you." He kissed her neck and nuzzled his head into her neck.
She let out the sweetest giggles "You're very welcome." She smiled, closed her eyes and melted into the boys body.
Uh oh! They're at it again! This can only end badly... Or can it? WHITEKNIGHT SUPREMACY!
Guess we will have to wait and see what the gang is up to in the next chapter!
Thank you for reading!
Love ya all!
