Jaune's Pineapple Jam 55
🕑 Added 2024-06-19 14:29:31 +0000 UTC“Beautiful.”
That was the last thing Ruby Rose expected to hear when she opened the door.
“Jaune?!” She shrieked as she processed what he just said.
Ruby has never been called beautiful.
The word beautiful has always been reserved for her sister.
Cute? Sure, she’s been called that a lot but never beautiful.
While people called Yang hot and beautiful, they called Ruby cute and adorable. All childish descriptions and yet here Jaune was calling her beautiful.
Heat instantaneously exploded all throughout her body at his naked and sincere awe.
Oh Brothers, he was looking at her like that! Why was he looking at her like that?!
He was looking at her like Ruby could turn heads! Like she could stun someone with her looks!
She could see Jaune blush as well but before either of them could even speak, someone grabbed her from behind.
“Gotcha! It’s time to wear your heels, Ruby! You can’t go to the dance in your combat boots!” Yang called out, raising her up from the floor.
The voice jolts her back to reality as to why she even opened the door in the first place. She tried to squirm but there was no leaving Yang’s grasp when she had her like this.
Bark! Bark!
She heard Zwei bark, pattering and panting around Yang’s feet.
Wearing the dress Pyrrha picked out for her, Ruby couldn’t actually struggle too much unless she wanted to ruin the dress. As much as she didn’t want to be forced back into the lady stilts, Ruby wouldn’t be able to bear Pyrrha’s look of disappointment if she destroyed the dress before the dance even started.
Thus, she could only struggle weakly.
“Nooooo! Not the lady stilts! You’ll never take me alive! Quick, Jaune! Help me!” Ruby called out, stretching her hand towards Jaune with her embarrassment forgotten in lieu of her desperation.
Jaune only laughed as he leaned down to stroke Zwei who turned to lick his hand.
The traitor! He’s the reason why she got caught in the first place!
“Hey, VB. Are you flirting with my sister?” Yang greeted casually, finally noticing Jaune even as they both froze at her words.
“You heard that?!” Ruby shrieked embarrassedly, covering her face and stopping her struggle.
She doesn’t see Yang’s eyes widen and her mouth curl into a smirk aimed at Jaune.
“Aha! So you are flirting with my sister!”
Jaune finally decided to speak, albeit with a blush as Ruby dropped her hands from her face to look at him.
“No! Can’t a guy just compliment his best friend?!”
“Complimenting, so that’s what we are calling it these days, huh?” Yang waggled her eyebrows and Ruby almost screeched in mortification.
What in the world was happening?! Didn’t Yang hate Jaune flirting with her?! Yet here she was smiling instead of shooing Jaune away!
“Is that Jaune?” Blake called out from inside the room and Ruby could see Jaune’s eyes widen.
“Yeah! And he’s flirting with my sister!” Yang shouted, her eyes glinting mischievously as she grinned like a shark.
“Complimenting! I was-” Jaune moved to deny immediately but he gets tongue-tied as Blake appears on the doorway.
“Jaune?” Blake called out even as she sidestepped Zwei who ran back into the room.
Ruby squirmed uncomfortably under Yang’s grasp, elbowing her sister to let her go as Yang stood still to watch the drama.
Jaune however, sighed softly.
“.....Beautiful.”
Ruby didn’t know how to feel about that.
On one hand, Jaune was using the same words to compliment another girl. On the other hand, Jaune used the same words to describe his girlfriend the way he described her!
Was she special?! Or was she not?! Should she be offended?! Or should she be flattered?!
Feelings are so confusing!
As Ruby thinks herself into dizziness however, Blake blushes as she flares the skirts of her dress. They were a lot more modest than the dress Ruby saw back at the shop that showed Blake’s sideboobs but even Ruby could admit this dress still hugs her figure nicely.
“...Thank you.” Blake replied bashfully, hands holding the edges of her skirt.
“I bet he said the same thing to my sister.” Yang quipped, as Ruby nodded enthusiastically.
He did! He absolutely did!
“What do you want me to say? You’re all beautiful, Yang.” Jaune only rolled his eyes at that however.
Oh, he definitely is just calling everyone beautiful now! Ruby rolled her eyes at that, expecting Yang to do the same but to her surprise, Yang didn't.
Ruby gawked as her sister swept her hair back and threw a pose by leaning forward with a hand on her hips.
“Thanks, you think I’m beautiful too, huh?” Yang said with a smile though the red dusting her cheeks were very much noticeable to everyone there.
The way Yang was dressed right now, with her white flowy dress adorned by golden accents, Ruby was sure Jaune was receiving a generous view of her sister’s cleavage.
It was pretty obvious he was seeing something at least because her sister just reduced him to a stuttering and blushing mess.
It took Blake faking a cough to finally get him back to his senses.
“Ahem.”
Jaune instantly shook his head and panickedly walked to hug Blake after handing Ren his clothes.
“But of course my girlfriend is the special kind of beautiful.” He smiled as he tried to hug Blake who only crosses her arms
“Oh, how so?” Blake’s eyebrow rose but Ruby could already see the corner of her lips lifting up.
“You look ravishing.” Jaune said, pulling Blake into a kiss and making her gasp.
Ruby and Yang’s eyes widen as they look at Blake slowly put her hands over Jaune’s neck, pulling him deeper and making the kiss last longer.
“Wow, you guys aren’t even hiding it anymore.” Yang announced as the two moaned deeper into their kiss.
Eventually, Ruby shook her head when she saw Jaune’s hands start to wander downwards.
“Blegh! Get a room, you two!”
They separated with a smack and Ruby had to look away with a blush as she saw a thin string of saliva connecting both their lips.
“That’s the plan for later.” Blake smirked at her before turning to Jaune with a question. “Did you manage to get a room?”
“Sorry, Blake. Ren and Nora will be using ours tonight.”
Jaune cringed as Ren only nodded stoically behind him. Ruby blushes at the implication and Yang whistles as she verbalizes it.
“Wow, Team JNPR really is getting busy, huh?” Yang waggled her eyebrows at Ren who only looked away with a blush.
“Ah, no worries. I’m sure we could find our own arrangements for tonight.” Blake replied after a deep breath and stepped away from Jaune.
That’s when another voice called out from inside their room.
“I hope you aren't planning to offer to use ours, Blake.” Weiss called out, flicking her hair back as she walked past all of them.
While Ruby, Blake, and Yang did put some effort into prettying themselves up, Weiss dressed up to the nines.
A long white dress with a slit up the middle showing her toned milky legs. Jewelry which brought out her cool blue eyes adorned her hair that she tied into her trademark ponytail.
“Wow.” Jaune sighed out and Ruby pouted at that even as Blake elbowed him meaningfully.
Really, Jaune?!
“Hey, Weiss! Jaune’s been giving compliments to all of us here! Ready to get yours?” Yang grinned, pointing a thumb at Jaune who was rubbing his ribs from Blake’s hit.
Weiss however only scoffed as she stared at Jaune.
“Back to your womanizing ways, Arc?”
“I'm innocent! I swear! I was just stating the truth!”
“Innocent, huh? That remains to be seen.” Weiss raised an eyebrow to which Yang butts in before things could escalate.
“Pshaw, innocent or not, you have got to be complimented Weiss. After all, it wouldn’t be fair if you’re the only one who doesn’t receive a compliment from Lover Boy over here.”
“Hmph! I do not need to fish for compliments. I know what I am. I am Weiss Schnee after all.” Weiss said haughtily.
Ruby fake-gagged at the arrogance but she could already see the smirk creeping up Weiss’ face to show everyone her words were only for fun.
Someone doesn’t get the message however because Jaune sighed dreamily.
“Yeah, Weiss. You always are so pretty-OUCH!” Jaune starts but this time, Blake pinches his sides. “What?! I’m just making an observation!” Jaune defended hastily to which Blake rolled her eyes resignedly.
“Maybe Weiss was right. You are back to your womanizing ways.”
“I-ugh. What?! No, I’m not! When was I ever a womanizer?!” Jaune denied but Blake only raised an eyebrow while waving her arms across herself and towards JNPR’s door, her message clear.
“In my defense, I don’t know how that happened in the first place.” Jaune raised his hand placatingly but Blake only rolled her eyes with a smile on her face.
“Don’t worry about it because if it still wasn’t obvious, both Pyrrha and I enjoy that it did happen.” Blake smiled affectionately, her hand rubbing Jaune’s pink cheeks.
“Ugh, please keep your displays of affection away from the public.” Weiss rolled her eyes, getting Yang’s attention who smirks at her.
“Heh, someone sounds jealous.” Yang added and Weiss’ eyes widened in horror.
“Perish the thought! Why would you even think that?!”
“Well for starters, he just called you pretty.” Yang pointed out with a smug look on her face, causing Weiss to frown.
“Excuse me? And what exactly is wrong with being called pretty?”
“Oh nothing’s wrong with that. It’s just that…. Lover Boy over here called all of us beautiful while he called you just as pretty as always.” Yang tilted her chin up, puffing herself as she faked looking at her nails before casually answering Weiss with a smug smile on her face.
“W-What?!” Weiss shrieked indignantly and Ruby giggled at her reaction.
Looks like someone was more affected than she thought!
“Come on, Yang. Don’t start anything. You are all beautiful in your own ways.” Jaune cuts in, getting everyone’s attention as he raises his hands between them.
“How?”
It took Ruby a moment to realize that she was the one to blurt out the question. She gulped as everyone turned towards her. She could already see Yang raising an eyebrow with a knowing look and she just knew there was going to be more teasing after these.
Too bad she couldn’t hide under her hood! Nope! Ruby Rose just had to tough it up as she gulped at their looks.
“I-I mean, how exactly do you find each of us beautiful?” She asked again, squirming bashfully into herself.
Luckily for her, Yang takes mercy on her by slowly shaking her head and looking back at Jaune.
“She’s right, what do you see in us huh, Lover Boy?” Yang asks with a wink and Jaune blushes up a storm again before looking desperately at Blake who only smirks at him.
“No, no. I want to hear you answer the question.”
“Blake! This is embarrassing!” Jaune whines but Weiss clears her throat impatiently.
“Ahem.”
Finally, Jaune sighs resignedly to himself. He starts by clearing his throat before trying to answer the question professionally but failing due to the blush on his cheeks.
“Well, as you all know Blake’s beauty makes me want to do things to her that shouldn’t be said in polite company.”
“As it should be.” Blake nodded in approval and Ruby could only gawk at her brazeness.
“Ruby on the other hand is amazing. You just make me want to look at you with how precious you are.”
“Eep!” She squeaked as blood rushed to her cheeks.
Precious. He called her precious!
Ruby might like games, comics, and guns a lot more than romance but she’s a girl too! Call a girl precious and no way was she going to be unaffected!”
“T-thanks, Jaune!” Ruby shook and stuttered as Jaune smiled at her brightly.
“Meh, still pretty vague but Ruby seems to like it. What about me, Jaune?” Yang interrupts and Jaune only smiles at her, finally getting his rhythm.
“Yang….you’re so bright that you turn heads wherever you go and light up the room whenever you are in it.”
“Awww, thanks VB, but I was expecting something a lot more spicy.” Yang answered with a flirty wink though everyone could see how pleased she already was with Jaune’s answer.
“And here I thought you didn’t want Jaune flirting anywhere near your sister.” Weiss cuts in but Yang only rolls her eyes at her.
“Well, as it has been repeatedly said to me, Ruby is now an adult and can make her own decisions. If she wants to join Jaune’s harem then that’s her decision to make.”
Everyone froze at that. Ruby’s jaw dropped as she heard her sister’s words. She locked eyes with Jaune for a moment before she had the presence of mind to look away and cover her obviously glowing face.
“Yang! Why would you say that?!” She screeched embarrassedly.
Oh Gosh! What in the world was happening?! She can’t believe Yang said that! Wasn’t she supposed to be against her having to do anything with romance!
“I-what?! My what now?!” Jaune screamed just as loud, his eyes bugging out at Yang’s words.
Yang only waved at Blake who nodded and JNPR’s door which only hints at Pyrrha behind it. She says one word. “Harem.”
“H-Harem?!”
“Yup! With that said, you still haven’t said anything about Weiss! You have to complete the set you know!” Yang bulldozed through his question, making Jaune scream once again.
“Complete the what?!”
This time Ruby wasn’t the only one blushing. Everyone on her team was! Weiss was either indignant or embarrassed, Yang was certainly pleased with herself, but most interesting of all in Ruby’s opinion was Blake!
Blake just sighed resignedly while smiling with a blush at Jaune! As if she expected something like this to happen in the first place and she was proud of Jaune for it!
It wasn’t until someone knocked hard on JNPR’s door from the other side that they all jolted out of their thoughts.
“Hey! Enough with the screaming! People are trying to change here, you know?!” Nora’s muffled voice calls out and Jaune sheepishly rubs the back of his head.
Ren knocks on the door before clearing his throat. “Sorry, Nora. We'll be quiet.” He finishes before turning back towards their group with a nod.
“Right, VB. We don’t have all day so compliment Weiss already.” Yang said with a nod towards Jaune who was still blushing at the insinuation he was building a harem.
“I don’t need his-” Weiss starts but Jaune cuts her off.
“Weiss…You’ve always been beautiful but right now you are stunning. Neptune is a lucky man that he gets to spend a night with someone as beautiful, confident, and self-assured as you.” Jaune finishes off with a nod and a slight blush on his face to everyone’s surprised expression.
Eyes turned to Weiss and everyone could see how affected she was.
Her mouth opened and closed before she had to clear her throat in embarrassment from everyone’s attention.
“Ahem. Thank you. I am glad you noticed that.” She tried to say calmly but everyone smiled at the smile rising on her lips.
“Heh, looks like someone’s warming up to somebody.” Yang lilted causing Weiss to blush embarrassedly and pull on her blonde teammate.
“Enough Xiao-Long! Now that we are finished with…whatever this is, we need to hurry and get to the dance hall!” Weiss finished, pulling on her teammates
“Wait, isn’t the dance still hours from now? Speaking of which, why are you all already dressed up?” Jaune asked with a tilt of his head and Ruby winced as she saw Weiss round on her male best friend.
Great, here comes Weiss’ tirade about how they were the ones responsible for preparing the dance so they should be the ones to greet any early attendees.
Ruby prepares herself to cut in on behalf of her male best friend and yet….it does not happen.
Instead of blowing up on Jaune however, Weiss bit her lip for a moment before taking a deep breath and speaking.
“If you must know, we are the ones responsible for preparing the dance and so we must be the ones early enough to greet any guest who arrives.”
“Wow, that was a lot more gentle than I thought you were going to be.” Yang said, verbalizing Ruby’s own thoughts.
Weiss only raised an eyebrow.
“He asked me a question, I only answered politely that’s all.”
“Yeah, thanks Weiss. But…it’s still three hours before the start of the program, isn’t it? Do you really think someone will go there this early?” Jaune shrugged, finally making Weiss blow up.
“Are you crazy?! What do you think will happen if someone arrives and finds no one was there to greet them?! They would be discouraged and leave the dance altogether! No! We cannot take that risk! Everyone will only experience the best because of our preparation!”
Yup, there was the Weiss they know and love. Ruby sighed at her partner’s work ethic and passion. For someone who was supposed to be icey, she sure was fiery from time to time.
“So much for answering politely.” Blake spoke from beside Jaune, crossing her arms and angling herself to be between Weiss and Jaune.
“I am not going to attack your boyfriend, Blake. And speaking of said boyfriend, why aren’t you preparing for the dance, Arc? My teammate deserves only the best so you should be getting started by now.” Weiss sighed exasperatedly before narrowing her eyes at Jaune, surprising Blake at her concern for her experience.
Jaune rubbed the back of his head sheepishly before answering.
“Ren and I are on our way to prepare actually. Pyrrha and Nora kicked us out of our room so we were going to ask Team CRDL if we can use theirs.”
“Cardin?! You were going to ask Cardin’s team?! Since when were you guys close?!” Blake rounded on her boyfriend with a hiss.
“Woah, Blake. Maybe let your man answer before you start to strangle him and not in the freaky way at that?” Yang hollered, pulling Blake away from Jaune who already backed off in fear.
“Remember when you got back from your girls’ day out and you saw us with him?”
“I thought that was a one-time thing, Jaune, he’s a racist!” Blake shot back with a pained look on her face to which Jaune winced.
“I know, I know, but he’s trying. Believe it or not, he actually has a crush on Velvet!” Jaune
All their jaws dropped at that.
“What?!” Ruby asked in shock.
Cardin and Velvet?! It sounded so impossible to Ruby’s ears!
“Damn, Cardin and Velvet? Who could have seen that coming?” Yang asked in wonder.
“Certainly not me and even now it sounds impossible to my ears.” Weiss wondered thoughtfully.
And yet…standing in front of them was Jaune who did something thought to be impossible by getting together with Pyrrha and Blake.
“I-what-how?!” Blake howled incredulously.
“You remember when everyone found out I slept with a Faunus and I called them hot, sexy, beautiful, smart, and can kick Cardin’s ass?” Jaune asked and everyone could see a blush color Blake’s cheeks again.
“Y-Yes but that was so long ago!” Blake answered.
“Yeah, turns out, Cardin thought I was referring to Velvet and he did not like it one bit. He was jealous.” Jaune shot back with a smirk.
“B-But it’s Cardin!”
“Look, kitty-cat, it doesn’t matter because Jaune isn’t going to ask Cardin and his team, see? They could just use our room to change. That is if you are all okay with it.” Yang sighed and everyone froze at that.
“Right….right, we can do that.” Blake answered in relief.
“I’m…okay with that.” Ruby agreed after a pause, it wasn’t so strange to offer your room to help your friends. Besides, it’s not like she had anything to hide.
“As long as they don’t do anything strange.” Weiss nodded, looking intensely at both boys.
“We promise not to do anything strange. Thanks for this guys. You sure you don’t need anything from your room before we use it?” Jaune rolled his eyes before smiling at them.
Ruby stayed very still as her eyes widened. She gulped as she saw Yang frown thoughtfully, even going so far as to tap a finger on her lips.
“None for me. I am as prepared as I can be.” Weiss shook her head with a sigh.
“I’ll see you at the dance.” Blake answered with a smile towards Jaune and a last affectionate pat on his shoulders.
“See you, Blake.” Jaune smiled, leaning down to give Blake a kiss on the forehead.
That’s when Ruby began to cheer. Finally, finally she can leave without wearing her heels!
“Alright! That’s great. Now off we-”
Clap!
Fate conspires against her however as Yang suddenly clapped and cut in with a vicious grin on her face, interrupting Ruby and pulling her back into the room.
“That’s right! Come on, Ruby! We need to get you in heels!”
“Noooo, not the lady stilts.” She despaired and Jaune just laughed at her as she walked past him. The traitor!
She heard Zwei whine in confusion from his resting place underneath Weiss’ bed as they entered the room.
“Come on, Rubes. It’s easy. You are going to look pretty with it.” Yang said as she pushed her to sit down on Weiss’ bed.
Here she thought she was finally going to get away after all the twists and turns in their conversation.
“Yeah, Ruby. It’s easy.” Jaune teases from the door and Ruby immediately snaps towards him, all embarrassment forgotten in the face of righteous indignation.
“Hey! I don’t see you have to wear these feet-killing machines!” Ruby complained even as Yang handed her her heels.
Jaune however only raised an eyebrow with a smile. “Seven sisters, remember?”
“S-Seven?! Damn, why do I keep forgetting that?! Does that mean they made you wear heels?! Wait! How about a dress?!” Yang asked with wide eyes even as Jaune rolled his eyes.
“Yes, Yang, and I do rock a dress just so you know.”
“Now, I’m curious how you look in one.” Blake called out with a smile from outside and Ruby could already see Weiss tapping her foot impatiently beside her.
“No, Blake! I am not wearing one! Not when I can look good in a suit as well!” Jaune immediately shook his head with wide eyes.
“Yeah, yeah. It still doesn’t make you be the one wearing the heels right now.” Ruby pouted and Jaune winced at her glare.
“Yeah, sorry but maybe you can wear them during the dance instead? After all, it’s still hours from now.”
Hope blooms inside Ruby’s chest as she looks at Yang with her bright silver eyes and a smile on her face.
“Can I? Can I? Can-”
“Alright, alright. We’ll bring it with us. Just make sure to stash your boots somewhere safe when we are there.” Yang remarked, laughing as Ruby embraced her.
“Thanks, Yang! Now come on! Let’s go! Bye, Jaune. Bye, Ren. See you guys later!” She zoomed past them, pulling Yang with her and leaving Jaune and Ren inside their room.
—-----------------------
“Dibs on the bathroom.” Ren announced as he gave Jaune his clothes back and Jaune rolled his eyes as he saw his teammate rush inside the bathroom.
Jaune turned back to the door to see Blake smiling at him. She really was a vision wasn’t she? Heedless of Weiss impatiently glaring at her however, Blake lunged to give him a quick kiss.
“Ugh, really?” Weiss groaned as she turned her head away from them as Ruby and Yang left.
Jaune chuckled as he kissed his girlfriend back. Eventually, they separated with a smack and Jaune peered at Blake’s bright amber eyes.
“Sorry, I just wanted to do that after watching you womanize my team.” Blake whispered breathlessly at him, causing Jaune to blush at her words.
“W-Womanize?! I’m not doing anything like that am I?!”
“I don’t know, Jaune. Weiss seems to think so at least.” Blake shot back amusedly, causing Jaune to look at Weiss who only scoffs haughtily at him.
“Do not look at me like that, Arc. Every single one of us knows of your appetites due to how you interact with both Blake and Pyrrha.” Weiss said but both Jaune and Blake could see a light blush on her face.
“M-My appetites?!” Jaune sputtered as Weiss stared at him.
“Yes, it is obvious your sexual appetite is abnormally large. Who knows when you will be hungry again and lust after another woman?” Weiss nodded and raised an eyebrow. She tried to take on a neutral tone but they could both hear the embarrassment seeping into her voice.
“What?!” Jaune gaped at her.
Sexual appetite?! Lusting after another woman?! As if! He was lucky to be with both of them already! No way was he going to risk things by going after another woman!
“You should know by now he isn’t like that, Weiss.” Blake rolled her eyes to which Weiss only narrowed her eyes at.
“I know but I would like to keep my guard up regardless.”
“Fine, do as you wish but please refrain from slandering my boyfriend, okay?” Blake said sternly to which Weiss nodded slowly after a pause.
“You’re right. Apologies, it was not my intention to slander you, Jaune. I just want to be careful.” She replied while glancing at both Jaune and Blake.
“It’s okay, Weiss. I just hoped you would know me better than that by now.” Jaune sighed and he had the pleasure of seeing her blush apologetically.
“I’m sorry. It’s just that recent events and conversations have stressed me enough to keep my guard up.” She apologized with a sigh, rubbing her forehead in slight frustration.
“Is it Neptune? Is he giving you a hard time?” His eyes narrowed.
Conversations? As far as he knew other than their teams, Weiss only interacted with her sister after classes and Neptune during their short breaks between classes. He highly doubts speaking with her sister would stress Weiss considering how happy she looks every time she regards their group about her sister.
That only leaves Neptune. Neptune who Jaune still felt weird vibes from.
Weiss however only shook her head at him with a frown.
“No, it isn’t Neptune. Why would you ever think he was giving me a hard time?”
Jaune’s eyes widen before he sheepishly rubs the back of his head.
“Oh, sorry. Nevermind then.”
Weiss sighed at him.
“No, it doesn’t really matter. It’s more of the preparation for the dance. Speaking of which, come Blake. We need to go now.” Weiss finished, looking at Blake who sighs resignedly.
“Alright, let’s go. I’ll see you later, Jaune.” Blake waved with a sheepish smile, closing the door behind her and leaving Jaune by himself.
Click!
The door for the bathroom opened, showing Ren dressed in his suit and looking surprised at him.
That was quick.
“You haven’t changed yet?” Ren asked.
“Nope, just had a talk with Blake and Weiss.”
“Expanding your harem, I see.” Ren teased and Jaune sighed exasperatedly.
“What is it with all of you and me expanding my harem? I have no harem.”
“You have to admit, Jaune. You make it too easy.” Ren only raised an eyebrow at him with a smile on his face.
“No, I do not. I’m not even doing anything.” Jaune answered back while exasperatedly waving his hands.
“And yet you’ve managed to seduce both Blake and Pyrrha.”
Now that was something he could not deny. He only looked away with a blush.
“Shut up.”
Ren chuckled before moving out of the way. “You could use the bathroom now if you want.”
“Thanks, don’t mind if I do.”
He entered the bathroom and paused at the sheer amount of toiletries Team RWBY had. Hair products, body soaps, and a multitude of towels littered the place.
It wasn’t messy by any means as they were organized handily, probably by Weiss, but it felt cramped to him and that’s considering he lived with seven sisters.
Still, he was thankful enough that they let him use it.
It didn't take long before Jaune was washing his face and changing into his suit. Slicking his hair to one side, he took a quick look at himself using the mirror and he found himself lacking.
Considering the ladies he was going to be dancing with tonight, his suit felt pretty basic.
A black suit over a purple vest and white long-sleeves, partnered with black pants, and topped with a red bowtie? It felt simple as far as suits went.
He frowned but there was nothing he could do about it. He’d just have to compensate with his dancing to give his ladies a good time.
He smiled at that, if there was something Jaune was confident at then it was his dancing skills courtesy of his seven sisters of course.
Folding his old clothes, he stepped out of the bathroom and laid them over Blake’s bed. Hopefully his girlfriend wouldn’t mind if he stashed it here for the moment.
He heard Zwei pant excited beside Weiss’ bed and smiled as the corgi rubbed himself across Ren’s hands who was kneeling and playing with him.
“Having fun?” He asked as he took Ren’s own old clothes and laid it down beside his.
“Yes, Nora and I….we never had moments like this before.” Ren smiled at his question as he joined him in patting down Zwei.
He stayed silent for a moment. He knew Ren and Nora were orphans and didn’t have a great childhood. He didn’t have to be a genius to figure out that they didn’t have the resources to take care of a pet so it warms his heart to see that they are enjoying themselves now here in Beacon.
He stretched his back and smiled at his brother from another mother.
“Come on, I’m sure you’ll have more moments like this in the future from now on.”
“I hope so.” Ren replied before standing up, patting Zwei one last time who looked at them with a tilt of his head.
“Bye Zwei, be good.” Jaune waved, watching as Zwei walked around before laying down on his spot.
Thirty minutes. Less actually but the point was it took less than thirty minutes for both boys to prepare which while impressive was also a problem in itself. They had nothing else to do while Pyrrha and Nora were still preparing themselves.
Both boys looked at each other as they closed the door to Team RWBY’s dorm room.
“What do we do now?” Ren asked and Jaune shrugged.
“Want to hangout with Team RWBY again?”
Not like they could do anything else but wait.
Ren however only hummed thoughtfully.
“Nora told us to wait for them before entering the dance hall.”
“We can hang out outside it and see who was already there?” Jaune suggested and Ren only thought for a moment before nodding in agreement.
Jaune smiled before knocking at their own team’s door.
“What is it?” Pyrrha’s muffled voice called out from behind the door.
Pyrrha’s voice causes his smile to widen as he shouts back.
“Ren and I are done changing! We’ll be waiting for you two outside the dance hall!” He announced.
“Alright, Jaune. See you later!”
A mischievous smile appears on his face as an idea forms in his mind. Looking left and right, he could see no one was there to hear them.
Leaning forward, he cups his mouth towards the door.
“Alright, Pyr. Love you!”
He laughed as he heard something crash behind the door.
“L-Love you too.” Pyrrha’s voice shyly replied and Jaune satisfies himself with that.
Looks like he still has that effect on her.
He leaned back with a grin on his face and saw Ren shaking his head amusedly at him.
“What? Not going to the same with Nora?” Jaune raised an eyebrow at him and Ren only laughs lightly at him.
“We have time for that later. I wouldn’t want to distract her from her preparations.”
As he and Ren began to walk towards the dance however, Jaune bumps into someone just as they exited the dorm building.
“Oof.” He let out a breath as he held the person he just collided with.
Long black hair and bright amber eyes looked up at him.
Jaune tightened his hold on the woman because for one single moment he thought it was Blake he was holding.
His eyes widened however when he noticed the lack of her bow.
She had no Faunus ears.
He let go and backed away in an instant, causing the woman to almost stumble. Instinct has him leaning forward however.
“Are you okay?!” He asked panickedly as he held her by her sides.
The woman only looked up at him before shaking her head.
“Y-Yes, forgive me. I merely lost my balance there for a moment.”
Jaune gave her a reassuring smile, letting go of her and rubbing the back of his head embarrassedly.
“No, no. It was my fault. I wasn’t paying attention to where I was going and bumped into you.”
The woman however only stared intensely at him and Jaune started to squirm uncomfortably from the attention he was getting.
Not just from her but also from Ren who was raising an eyebrow at him. He already had an idea what he was going to say after this. Womanizer.
Because boy the woman he just held was just wow.
She was beautiful that was for sure. Long black dress with a slit on the sides showing her milky white legs showcased a wonderful body that was to die for.
“Excuse me, I merely lost myself there for a moment.”
The words jolt him back to reality and Jaune laughs nervously at his own thoughts.
“S-Say are you lost? I don’t think I’ve noticed you around here before.”
While her face did look familiar, Jaune wasn’t sure if it was because of her similarities to Blake or not. He knew for sure he would remember a woman this striking if they had talked before.
The woman only chucked at his awkwardness however.
“Yes, I suppose you wouldn’t notice me here in this dorm in particular before. I’m from Haven you see and I stay at the transferees’ dormitory with my team.”
“O-oh! What brings you here then? The dance is that way.” Jaune straightened, pointing at the direction of the Dance Hall thinking that this woman needed help.
The woman smiled coyly at him and Jaune gulped as a flush started to creep up his neck. Sue him, who wouldn’t be affected when a beautiful woman kept all her attention on him?!
One thing is sure though. He was loyal. Jaune marshaled his resolve and looked at the woman straight in the eyes who raised an eyebrow at his action.
“If you must know, I am not lost. I am merely looking for my teammate Emerald. I thought she walked here to visit her friends in Team RWBY for something.” She answered, crossing her arms below her chest.
His eyes involuntarily flicked down for a moment before he immediately snapped them back up. It was too late however because he could see the woman smirking at him.
He blushed.
Clearing his throat embarrassedly, he opens his mouth to speak.
“S-Sorry but Team RWBY just left for the dance. If Emerald isn’t here then she is probably there already.”
“Is that so? Thank you, Jaune Arc.”
“Y-You know me?”
“Of course, who wouldn’t know Pyrrha Nikos’ team leader. It must take a strong man to handle a woman like her.
“Y-yup, that’s me! Jaune Arc! Short, sweet, and rolls of the-”
“Ahem.” Ren cleared his throat and Jaune blushed at the automatic answer he just gave this beautiful woman.
“..Nevermind.” He finished with a blush on his face.
The woman however laughed lightly at him before stretching her hand outward.
“I see…Jaune Arc. It certainly rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it? You may call me Cinder Fall.”
Oh, wow. Was it hot in here or what? As embarrassed as he was, it was only polite to take her hand however.
“It’s nice to meet you, Cinder.” He greeted her with a smile on his face.

He would but he only met her once and that's why he thinks she is familiar but isn't really sure.

Would he not remember Cinder from the dream?

Oh dear, this could go really, really bad somehow. Or really good depending on what happens, though nine times out of ten Cinder normally ends up in the ground, it's extremely rare when the opposite happens. So, I'm interested to see if Jaune saves the day with the power of his dick and himbo energy or not.
