For instance... What if Jaune and Cardin were childhood friends?
First actual day at Beacon and Jaune was still in a kind of elated shock. Sure, he'd nearly gotten killed and he didn't think his bluff was working too well with Pyrrha, but... He was here. He was sitting with his team at breakfast. Nora was being Nora, Ren was being stoic, Pyrrha was bright and cheerful and absolutely beautiful as always. Ruby and her team were enjoying breakfast nearby. Everything just seemed... Perfect.
"OW! H-Hey!"
And then some big lug began pulling on a Faunus girl's ears. Blake frowned deeply over her book.
"Someone should stop that," she said.
Well why don't you stop it then? Jaune thought, before shaking his head. He shouldn't be nasty to Blake. He grimaced as he looked at the tall redheaded boy tormenting the Rabbit girl.
Then again, I'm not...
His eyes narrowed.
Wait a second...
Jaune got up and headed over to the redhead and his team. Pyrrha sucked in a breath.
"Jaune?" Ruby asked, in wonder.
"Break his legs!" Nora cheered.
"Pl-Please, let me go!" The girl cried. The redhead smirked.
"Ha! So they're totally real! You little-!"
"Cardin Winchester!"
Cardin started, and looked back. He stared at the glaring Jaune.
"Wha... Jaune? Jaune Arc?" He asked in amazement.
"You son of a bitch," Jaune growled... Before he extended his hand.
Cardin blinked... Then grinned, let go of the Faunus girl's ears, and walked towards Jaune. Their hands met in the manliest of manly hand clasps, smacking so loudly in the quiet cafeteria Professor Goodwitch jumped out of her chair.
"It's been forever, bro!" Cardin enthused, pulling Jaune into a manly bearhug. One that Jaune returned as best he could, despite his shorter stature.
"Bro, you too!" Jaune laughed. "Damn, you're so tall you probably knock your head against the tops of doors! Good thing you don't have any brains to damage!"
"HA! Big talk from a pipsqueak like you!" Cardin laughed. "You'd be motorboating all the ladies if they bothered to give you a hug!"
Both young men laughed uproariously, slapping eachother on the back. Jaune then looked over the very confused Rabbit Faunus girl.
"Bro," Jaune said, "Are you trying to ask her out? Because pulling pigtails is elementary school stuff."
"Errr," Cardin winced, "Ummm..."
"I know he's a big stupid doofus, but he is a good guy," Jaune assured the girl, "Honest! He's just kind of hopeless with women."
"I uh... Um," the girl looked shyly at Cardin. Cardin winced.
"I mean, uh, bro-"
"It's not like he's a huge racist or anything!" Jaune laughed, slapping Cardin on the back. "Please, give him a chance? He'll be an amazing date! I've seen his Dustbook page! He loves cooking!" He grinned and elbowed Cardin. "Mainly eating it!"
"H-Hey!" Cardin managed weakly.
The girl frowned and slowly nodded.
"I... I guess I can forgive you for... For being nervous," she said, "Maybe... Maybe we could eat lunch together and get to know eachother better?"
"I-" Cardin tried, but Jaune laughed.
"Totally! He'll see you then! What's your name?"
"Velvet."
"It's a sweet name for a sweet girl," Jaune complimented her, shooting her with finger guns. "This is Cardin Winchester! He's my bro, and he'll be great!"
"Y-yeah... Sure," Cardin managed. Velvet managed a blush and smile back, before walking off. Cardin then grabbed Jaune by the front of his shirt.
"Bro, what did you just do?" Cardin hissed.
"Bro, I set you up with a hot bunnygirl!" Jaune muttered. "I mean, you're not actually some kind of racist, right bro? Not over hot bunnygirls?"
Cardin coughed. Jaune stared at him, and then scowled.
"Bro... That is not cool."
"I'm sorry Bro," Cardin groaned, "I-I just-"
"The Bro Code states that as long as she's hot, race does not matter!" Jaune lectured him. "We decided this when we were thirteen!"
"I know Bro," Cardin sighed. "Forgive me, bro?"
"If you give her a good time, bro!" Jaune ordered. Cardin and Jaune did their manly handclasp again.
"I missed you, Bro," Cardin said, "I think I lost my way."
"It's cool, Bro," Jaune said seriously, "I'm here now."
"Yeah."
They parted ways. Jaune returned to his table, and sat down. He resumed his breakfast. He looked up into everyone's eyes, as they all stared at him.
"What?" He asked.
