Hiatus

So, here’s the deal. I’m moving out before the 1st of September and My sister is going full psycho control mode on, what we have to do, and this and that, and I can’t even get the two up coming days to just chill before random strangers (During a fucking pandemic) will be coming to my apartment to buy our shit. I don’t think I’m gonna have the energy to be here. So. I’m just gonna say Hiatus till I am living with my dad for now. Discord is Available Upon Request, I’ll set this to reblog a few times, love you all. Wish me luck.

“I know, but it feels wrong to just kiss you whenever I want.” She murmured softly. “so, if it’s okay with you, I’m probably going to keep asking if I can kiss you before just doing i-” She barely had time to get that out before he grabbed her collar and pulled her into a kiss that she happily returned without hesitation. Truly, there was nothing she wanted to do more than lie here with him and kiss him.

She grinned shyly at him. “Took the words right out of my mouth about the view.” And then Jaune mentioned that they should share the bed, and her face felt like it was on fire. “I’d love that.” She murmured, kissing the corner of his mouth.

Jaune accepted his kisses from Pyrrha, his face flushed much like hers, almost matching the red of her hair. “Aha! So I finally got you to agree to go to bed.” His arms latched around her body as he hoisted her back up into the air. With a little laugh he kept her up, before putting her on his shoulder as he had earlier, Giving her a smooch to her head as he quietly carried her back in.

Arriving at their room he set her down, so they could sneak in again, taking off his shoes, making himself less audible as they went in. He stretched as he laid down on Pyrrha’s bed, shifting over so she had room, “I think this has been an eventful enough night, I want nothing more than one last kiss and to fall asleep against you.”

Ruby didn’t think she’d be going back to sleep any time soon, but she also didn’t say this to Jaune. He was clearly going through a lot, she didn’t want to add to his list of things to worry about. “You can go back to sleep, if you want. Someone has to stay up to make sure we’re all okay through the night.” She said before she had the chance to stop it. But her words were the truth, so she didn’t really want to take them back.

She was tired, sure, but she also knew the chances of her falling asleep after her nightmare were slim to none. She gave Jaune another hug. “Thanks for coming to check on me, Jaune.”

“Doesn’t mean you have to do it alone.” Jaune argued as his arms squeezed Ruby once more as he shook himself awake. “No No, If you’re up I’m gonna be up, no sense in you having to be up on your own. Nora can just carry us both if we fall asleep during the day tomorrow.” Jaune would tease, though being rather dead set in his choice to not fall asleep now.

“It’s my pleasure to do so Ruby.” He assured her as they stayed up, Jaune’s eyes shifting towards the night sky and shifting back down. “You’re family even if we weren’t on the same team, I try to take good care of family.” He was hoping that she’d eventually just sleep if she had a comforting presence with her, but he wouldn’t make that known.

“I think one of us definitely would’ve wound up losing kneecaps, and I’m willing to bet it wouldn’t be me!” Nora laughs along with Jaune at the idea. But maybe he did have a point of it all not being as random as they thought. “I do believe that the only rules given to us going in were that our partners were the first person we saw, and we had to claim a relic. So my guess is that the relics decided which pairs got teamed up. There was two of each, remember?” She laughs again at Jaune’s mention of Pyrrha. “You know, I don’t think either of you told me that! That does make sense as to how you landed in one piece, though.” She bites her lip, thinking. “I know I kinda just hid in a tree and waited for Ren to walk by. Watched him single handedly take down a King Taijitu. He even got disarmed halfway through the fight and took it down with just his fists!” She wondered just how many people knew exactly what he was capable of in a fight. “Honestly, I don’t know what I would’ve done if he wasn’t at least on the same team as me. We’ve been such a big part of each other’s lives for so long it’s hard to think about anything without him, ya know?”

“Vaguely.” Jaune admitted, getting sorted at Beacon felt like a lifetime ago some days, a hard bit of memory to latch on top, a memory that had an odd sting too it. “And Hey! I would have landed in one piece, just would have been a bit more...slow moving afterward.” He joked as he considered how it would have gone had she not speared him to a nearby tree.

“Ren is one of our strongest and I like the fact that he doesn’t advertise it compared to some. That element of surprise really is invaluable.” He noted “But I can understand that, and I’m glad you two got to be on a team, I’m blessed that you were put on a team with me.” He gently elbowed Nora as he let out a breath. “We really are a long way from Beacon though, aren’t we?”

Pyrrha’s heart warmed at his words. She truly adored him so much it was even a little hard for her to wrap her head around-and to know that he felt the same way about her was just the icing on the cake. When she felt his lips on her head, she smiled and let her eyes close as she relished in the feeling of it. “I’m glad you tried to get to know me the way I am now. I’m glad that you wanted to be my friend.”

Her heart warmed even further as he continued speaking. “I’m glad for that, too.” She shifted slightly so she was on top of him looking down. “Can I kiss you again?” She asked softly. Part of her was worried this was all a dream, that she’d wake up in her bed having never kissed Jaune or admitted her feelings to him.

Jaune was rather peacefully looking up at the stars as she spoke to him, Before well, his view changed to Pyrrha’s green eyes, and her flowing red hair. “Pyrrha, you’re my girlfriend now, You don’t have to ask to kiss me.” Before he gently, grabbed her collar, and pulled her into a long kiss on her lips. It was a wonderous feeling to share, just giving affection to someone you loved, even if it wasn’t always clear that you did.

He would break the kiss as he looked up at Pyrrha, his blue eyes locked onto her emerald like ones. “Ya know, I think I could get used to this View.” He couldn’t help but tease, thinking for a moment. “Now, When I say this I don’t mean it that Way, but, do you wanna sleep together tonight? Just...share the bed?” He asked, feeling comfortable to do so with Pyrrha, it felt proper, natural.

Ruby giggled. That definitely wasn’t true, but she was willing to pretend like it was all the same. “Pyrrha would want us to keep going.” She agreed softly. His apology made her shake her head. She wouldn’t let him take the blame for something that wasn’t even his fault. She wouldn’t let anyone do that, for that matter. “You didn’t wake me, my nightmare did.” Ruby pointed out to him.

“Pyrrha would be proud of how far we’ve come, I think.” She murmured, resting her head against his arm. “She’d be proud of this journey we’re taking to Haven Academy, to do good for the world. And she’d be proud of you, too.” Ruby had always known Jaune was going to be a good leader, and he was just proving it now.

Jaune was willing to make the argument that had she not subconciously heard the video she may not have had the nightmare, but he wasn’t going to go down that line with Ruby, not right now anyway. He knew Ruby was right, and he wouldn’t argue. Just letting her rest against him. hoping that it would let her fall back asleep easier.

“We’re doing what she would do, and we’re doing the right thing Ruby. We’ll be okay.” He shifted slightly so she could more easily crash if she had to. Jaune could trust his ability to get her horizontal if she were to drift off. “Try to go back to sleep okay? We all need our...” A yawn interrupted him. “rest.” He finished as he stretched his arms out and back to his sides.

Nodding her head in response, she agreed that it would be easier to finish her task of asking the questions that Ironwood wanted answered before they conversed as friends. Although Penny was unaware of the tension this interaction might cause between the military general and the two teams, she was only doing what she was ordered to do. In hopes that both the team leaders would understand the need for this line of questioning, Penny tried to be as friendly as she could. She herself knew that the Vale group of Huntsmen and Huntresses genuinely cared about the people around them and the innocent lives that they fought to protect.

Without giving much thought to the first question Ironwood asked her to read, she didn’t hesitate or flinch at the somewhat bitter regurgitation of her words. In a sense, she expected it. Penny knew that team RWBY and JNR were good people and for them to have to openly say it under a line of questioning seemed almost absurd if they weren’t on the verge of war with the darkness that Salem had  threatened. 

Even though Ruby had given most of the detail of the teams travels, Penny felt the need to ask again. She wouldn’t take long, she knew that they needed rest after tirelessly working to get to Atlas. Maintaining eye contact to read his facial features, she noted that he, just like Ruby, looked tired and almost lifeless as they were drained of their energy and spirit. “I’m sorry to hear.” She genuinely was, but had to press for more details. “Yes, of course. During your run in with Cinder and her partners was any sort of plan revealed to you about our threat’s course of action further? He’d like to know so that we can come up with a counter measure.”

She had quite a few more questions to go through before she could bid the male a good night for his well deserved rest and relaxation. They would all need it  before the teams reconvened with Ironwood and the special ops for more debriefing and assessment. In order to appear more human-like and less of a machine programmed to read through all the questions, she paused briefly in case he needed to address any concerns about anything she previously asked. Figuring he would interrupt her if necessary, Penny continued, “ These next few are about the relic of knowledge. At any point was it used or activated during it’s time in your possession?” 

Now they were at questions that were actually valid, which made Jaune feel even more at unease, but he was very good at hiding those feelings, it was a necessicity especially after Beacon. He swallowed dryly as he heard the first question. “No, They are a proud boastful lot, but nothing of their talk gave us really anything. Just how we wouldn’t be able to stop it.” He admitted, raking his long hair back in a bit of dispair.

The next question was harder, cause he wasn’t there for it, but he knew that it had been used. He knew of what it had said, but he didn’t know if it was right to say that yet. But, Her phrasing did allow him not to lie. It wasn’t used when it was under his  Possession. “No, it wasn’t. the chance to do so, even if we would have, never arrived. The thing attracts Grimm, that’s why Ruby and I had to split.”

He felt bad for lying to Penny, and he hoped to god Ruby was just as dishonest, otherwise they were going to make this situation far worse than what it already was. But that is a risk that he has to take. Better him than Ruby, he thought to himself silently as he was being interrogated.

Pyrrha’s grip on his shoulders tightened a little-it was pretty clear that her kiss had shocked him and she didn’t want to be dropped by him. And when he finally laid her down in the grass and laid beside her, she beamed and didn’t so much as hesitate to slide over and rest her head on his shoulder. She trusted him to tell her if he didn’t want her to do that-just as she would do for him if he did something she didn’t want.

Her brows furrowed at his next words, but then he continued speaking and she relaxed slightly. “You can if you like.” She murmured. “Just promise me that seeing those won’t make you see me differently, Jaune.” That was something she knew she wouldn’t be able to handle.

“Pyrrha, you may have become something very new to me tonight, but I’m never gonna see you differently. I always knew you were an exceptional fighter once I saw you work. So even if you have a great record, that won’t make me see you different. I could watch every one of your matches, and I will see you are Pyrrha Nikos, My teacher, my friend, my something more.” He said before he planted a kiss to her head.

“I’m glad I got to know you first.” He stated quietly as they laid in the grass. While in some ways this was the ploy to get Pyrrha tired out, he wouldn’t lie that he really did enjoy just laying with her in a quiet moment with her. “I’m glad you are a humble and down to earth girl, who could actually be interested in a guy like me. I’m glad I know you, Pyrrha.”

“If they’re anything like you, I don’t see it being much of an issue. I still find it hard to believe you have that many sisters.” Nora stick her tongue out at him when her teases her, nose scrunching up slightly. “I don’t tell him absolutely everything, you know.” Which okay, she told Ren just about everything that happened when he wasn’t around her to see it himself. It wasn’t that she couldn’t keep a secret, she just liked to talk. Except about how her feelings had changed somewhere along the way. She wanted to test those waters out first before trying to start that conversation. “I couldn’t either. Really. I didn’t really have many expectations when we got to school. But I do know that I couldn’t ask for better teammates. Ugh imagine if I’d wound up on a team with Cardin! I probably would’ve been kicked out by the end of the first week!”

“Well, My mom and dad were very affectionate.” And not careful. He let out a hard laugh picturing that. “Oh you two would have killed each other were it not for Oz or Goodwitch’s interference. In some ways I find it nuts that they try to really just leave it up to chance yet...Ruby got paired up with her sister, so that makes sense, but at the time Weiss hated Faunus, and was Paired up with Blake....but also Blake was hiding that fact...” He stroked his chin. “Maybe our teams are a little of what we want, and a little of what we need, and not that much up to chance.” He scratched the back of my head. “Did help that Pyrrha speared me to a tree then stuck with me,” He laughed remembering that fondly, what a woman. “I know I got what i needed, even if I didn’t think I was right to be the leader at the time.”

Lowkey forgot that RWBY was like “Yeah, Raven just fuckin killed the Spring Maiden cause she wasn’t gonna be able to handle the world.” God damn dude.

Following him into the room, she took a seat, patiently waiting for him to do the same. Indeed, given that she was a friendly face, Ironwood had asked her to gather more details about the two teams. Both him and her companion Winter were both feeling the strain of having to take action in the fight against Salem without Ozpin’s guidance. The stress, although he claimed was under control, could be seen just from body language alone and Penny cared for her other fatherly figure. “Fantastic! First thing is first I would like to collect some data to cross reference with Ruby’s information. Good thing for us, we talked and talked, so I shouldn’t have to much to inquire about.”  

Although seemingly composed, Penny knew of the horrors that Vale had faced after the night the tournament was broadcast to the citizens. After she had been remade and integrated with her old memory back up, the general made sure to keep update her with the missing pieces of information from her destruction to now. The red headed girl thought it was unfair. Unfair of her to sit here alive while she knew Pyrrah, one of his team mates, could not have a second chance. Of course she didn’t know their relationship, but Penny had only heard good things about her from Ruby and the blond in front of her undoubtedly cared for her greatly. Exercising some restraint, Penny would not talk to him about what had happened to herself or that night.

The knowledge wasn’t for Ironwood, but for herself. Penny had to know if her friends were doing okay– or okay to some extent. If there was anything she could do she would offer her services in any way. Knowing that they were at least somewhat alright was more concerning to her than any information she would learn. “Is there anything you want to talk about first? I am here to listen!”

On a more serious note, her demeanor shifted and she had to now ask the questions that Ironwood wanted to know. “I apologize in advance if I am being too forwards. Are you and your group a threat to the people of Atlas, Mantle, and Humanity?” It wasn’t an odd question in a time of crisis.  The general was not one to take chances and he had to know who he could put his trust in.”Ruby had said that your team and her formed a group to get to Mistral. Was there any information to report from that portion of your travels?”

Getting data on what had happened seemed especially in Character to Ironwood, further more to use Penny for it, She was kind, innocent and unassuming. Not clearly paranoid like Ironwood was starting to show himself to be. At least that was Jaune’s assumption about Penny interrogating him.  The tolls of war weighting on the General further and further.

“I think it’s just better if I answer your questions as they come. If somethings Relevant to what i’d like to discuss, I’ll stop and tell you.” He wasn’t gonna offer up more than he had to in this situation. He wanted to trust Penny, but the particulars of who and what she was made that a bit hard. She could promise him that she’d keep everything secret, but never would know if someone could, override that.

Her question had caught him off guard mostly cause of how it had all the subtly of a brick. “No. We are not a threat to Atlas, Mantle, or Humanity.” Perhaps bitterly repeating it to her in the exact order she had said it to him. He was firm that they weren’t, even though at a point some would disagree. Then she asked for the details. A lot came to mind, especially one in particular ‘Oz can’t defeat Salem’ His mind rang out but keeping that to himself for now.

“Met a real nasty Scorpion Faunus, Messed us up real bad, Cut off his tail.” He mused. “Ran into Cinder.....A Hulk of a man who could shove dust crystals into his arms directly to tap into their essence.” He rubbed his chin trying to recall everything. “I don’t recall Cinder coming out of that battle, got the relic, Started on a train, then we had to split.. Made it to my Sisters place...” A slight pause as he remembered what happened there. “Then we managed to get up here....the castle on a cloud.” He ended. “Is there anything in particular you’d like me to clear up?”

Pyrrha placed her hands on his shoulders and looked down at him. At his words, she giggled and dipped her head to quickly give him a peck on the lips. “There you go, one smooch. Now please put me down so we can properly cuddle.” The thought of cuddling with him in the grass was far more tempting than continuing to pretend like she didn’t want to kiss him.

And then, she decided to give him a break and dipped her head to give him a much better, deeper kiss instead.

The deeper kiss did give him a bit of a shock, almost dropping her, almost. But that was absolutely the signal to set her down, doing so laid her down gently in the grass. He laid beside her, his head beside hers, but their bodies in opposite directions. With a happy sigh he’d look into her green eyes for a long moment.

“I know you love the fact that I treated you like a normal girl, but I think i’m gonna treat you different now.” He paused. “Just gonna smother ya in affection, but the familial nice kind, not the, oh Pyrrha I love you i’ve seen all your fights!” He teased, Though he probably wasn’t gonna change all that much, more kissing of course, but Jaune would still be Jaune. His forehead pressed against hers. “But I should probably go back and see your other fights.” Giving her a little wink

Ruby didn’t hesitate to burrow into his side and wrap her arms around his midsection when she felt his arm around her in a tight hug that she wasn’t about to complain about, or even consider complaining about. She knew he was right, but she couldn’t stop thinking about it all the same. “I just…I feel so guilty. You all lost your teammate and now here I am, asking you to follow me out here to Haven for what purpose we still don’t know.” She shook her head, debating on whether or not to tell him. “I saw you, in the woods Jaune.” She admitted. “I have a nightmare about what happened at Beacon and then I woke up to hear Pyrrha’s voice, which I know now was coming from your scroll.” She kept her voice low so she didn’t wake Ren and Nora, however inadvertently it might have been. “Thanks, Jaune.”

He didn’t push her away, or flinch as Ruby hugged him back, he just let her embrace him as he did to her. Two damaged people trying to pick up the pieces. “You have nothing to feel guilty for, We’re basically adults.” A line he did hope could make her laugh. “And I wouldn’t make you face this alone, and I wanted to move on too, life doesn’t stop just because one life did.” Which came off as a bit cold at first, “Pyrrha wouldn’t have wanted us to stop, and she wouldn’t have stopped had she survived and one of us didn’t, cause we wouldn’t have wanted her to either.”

Upon hearing that she saw him, he had a moment of freeze, his body stiffening before he exhaled and he relaxed. “I’m sorry that I woke you Ruby.” He murmured. He let that be his last word as his head rested against the back of the tree he was resting against.

“You’re our family, Jaune. Of course we stuck around.” Nora leans into the hug, her own arm sneaking around him to return it. “Besides, neither one of us has anywhere else to go. Sure, we could’ve transferred to another school but��� it wouldn’t have felt right. Not without you and… you and Pyrrha.” Even after all these months it still hurt to talk about sometimes. Nora’d always known life wasn’t fair, but that didn’t make it hurt any less. Pyrrha had been one of the first few people Nora had really let into her life since she’d met Ren and to have her just ripped away like that one day… She curls up on the bench, into Jaune’s side. “You know, normally I’d say I won’t speak for other people, but in this case I’m going to, because I’m pretty sure he’d say the same thing anyway. We’re both really glad we got to know you, too. And we don’t regret coming with you.”

“Well, If you are my family, you better get used to having 7 new sisters who will want to know a whole lot about you.” He teased before he let her curl up into him further, Enjoying this moment they had to themselves, to just, be human. “I’m glad you are here with me Nora, and Ren when you eventually tell him about this.” He winked at Nora to let her know that he was just teasing her. Before he rest his head against the back of the train. “I couldn’t ask for better people to be with me Nora. I mean it.”
