I don't own RWBY. RWBY is owned by Rooster Teeth and was created by Monty Oum. I only own my OCs

Adam didn't like how it had been 30 minutes or so after Silver and the rest entered the ballroom and he still was on edge. He couldn't figure out how, but he knew something would happen

But he had just the perfect way to get it off his mind... he hoped. He was going to kill two birds with one stone. He was going to dance with Blake to get his mind off of Cinder and apologize to her in the process.

So, without further ado, he walked over to Blake and tapped her shoulder

"Ahem. May I have this dance, miss?" Adam asked Blake

"Uh... yeah?" Blake said, unsure if she wanted to dance with Adam

Adam, taking this as a yes either way, grabbed both of her hands and started to slow dance with her

"Ok, what is this about, Adam?" Blake asked

"I wanted to say sorry for what happened on the roof that night. I don't know what I was thinking. I could have been angry and manipulative or I could've been simply hurt. It could've been anything, but that doesn't make it any less acceptable." Adam apologized.

"...Wow. This place did change you." Blake said, astonished

"Eh, you have Ruby and the rest to thank for that. Now, are you gonna accept my apology, or not. I understand if you don't." Adam said. Blake sighed

"Yes, and for what it's worth, I'm also sorry." Blake apologized

"Good to see we are even then." Adam said

The song ended, Adam and Blake split from each other

"It was nice dancing with you, miss. I hope to see you again." Adam said

"Me too." Blake agreed

Adam walked away from her and went to go sit by the punch bowl. He saw Ruby sitting there as well

"Hey Rubes. What are you doing?" Adam asked

"Oh, nothing much. Just being socially awkward." Ruby answered

"With me." Jaune chimed in

"With Jaune! Heh heh." Ruby said, nervously

"Well, it must be your lucky night because I'm gonna be socially awkward with you two." Adam said

"Really? Never pegged you for the type to be an introvert, Adam." Jaune questioned

"Well, I may have been a leader. But that doesn't mean I liked to be outgoing. I suspect that part of my personality stems from my past, but I can never be sure about that." Adam explained

"So uh... Ruby has yet to explain your past. A-a-and I get if it's personal, but I would like to know." Jaune said, the unspoken question buried underneath his sentence

"Don't worry Jaune. I'd be happy to tell you. We just need to find somewhere completely private." Adam said, calming Jaune. He noticed something out of place

"What's Weiss doing by her lonesome?" Adam asked Jaune

"Wait, she's alone?" Jaune asked, surprised

"Yeah... why is that?" Adam asked... again

"I don't know! I thought she asked Neptune out! I can't tell you why she's not with him." Jaune said quickly as if it was his fault

"Well, why not ask him?" Adam asked before nodding his head upward towards said person. Jaune looked over before a scowl settled on his face
