Found on the doorstep of the Rose/Branwen/Xiao Long family, Y/N Rose was raised with love and dreams of attending Beacon with his sisters. But what happens when he finds out the dark truth of his origins? Will he stand by the family that raised him...
Nora and Ren exchange glances, not knowing that Jaune himself is looking in through the crack of the door.
Nora: Mmmm... I guess so.
Jaune hangs his head and closes the door, he was regretting what he said to Pyrrha.
(flashback)
Jaune and Pyrrha were on a balcony together. Jaune was looking down over the rail with a glum look.
Jaune: I don't belong here...
Pyrrha: Yes you do.
Jaune: No, I don't. I wasn't really accepted into Beacon.
Pyrrha: What do you mean?
Jaune: I mean I didn't go to combat school! I didn't pass any test! I didn't earn my spot at this Academy! I lied. I got my hands on some fake transcripts and I lied.
Pyrrha: (shocked) W-What? Why?
Jaune: Because this is what I always wanted to be! My father, My grandfather, and his father before him were all warriors! They were all heroes! I wanted to be one too. I was just never good enough. And after seeing what Y/N did, just solidifies that fact. Everyone loves him! He's cool, strong, good looking, and is able to stand up to jerks like Cardin!
Pyrrha: Then let us help you!
Jaune: I don't want help! I don't want to be the damsel in distress! I want to be the hero! I am tired of being the lovable idiot, stuck in the tree while his friends fight for their lives! If I can't do this on my own then what good am I?!
Pyrrha looked down and nodded softly.
Pyrrha: If that's what you want...
(flashback ended)
Ruby: Hey Jaune!
Startled, Jaune turns around to see Ruby in her pajamas, and she giggles at his reaction.
Ruby: Long time, no see! Did you lock yourself out again?
Jaune: Oh, uh, nope! (raises his Scroll, attempting to laugh) Got it!
Ruby: So! Where have you been lately?
Jaune: I, uh...
He tries to come up with something, but just sighs and lowers his head.
Jaune: I messed up. I did something I shouldn't have, and now Cardin has me on a leash, and Pyrrha won't even talk to me, and... (breathers heavily through his nose) I'm starting to think coming to this school was a bad idea. (presses his back to his team's door and slides down to the floor in depression) I'm a failure.
Ruby: Nope!
Jaune: (looking at her in surprise) Nope?
