jaune arc multiverser

protoluge(NEW)

It is the start of the weekend, a week before the big dance, and Teams RWBY and JNPR were in the cafeteria, without another soul there (AN: wonder how that happened?), and listening to Jaune try to woo Weiss again, to her growing frustration.

"So, Snow Angel, the dance is in a couple days, I thought maybe we cou-" Jaune said.

"Alright, that does it." Weiss interrupted. Before, she was trying her best to ignore what the dunce was dribbling on about and enjoy her lunch, but her patience finally ran out. She stood up, faced him, and glared at him so hard, that his remarks stopped in his throat. "Listen here you dunce, I will only say this once. I will NEVER go out with you. You must be the most hopeless, talentless huntsman in this school, and I cannot think of a single reason why Ozpin thought it was a good idea to let you in, let alone be chosen as leader. You are a disgrace, and honestly, perhaps it would have been best if you never bothered to come here. Just leave me alone and never bother me again!" After her harsh declaration, she took some deep breaths.

The table was silent, Blake was wide-eyed, Ruby and Pyrrha were glaring holes into Weiss's head, and Nora was struggling against Ren and Yang to leap out and break some legs, preferably some heiress' legs. Jaune simply had his head down, his hair shadowing his expression, then he looked up. His goofy smile in place, but his eyes were darker, emptier. He looked at Weiss, her glare still in place but diminished somewhat due to how evident her words took their toll.

*sigh*"Ok Ms. Shnee, I'll stop, sorry for bothering you."

Jaune then stood up, bowed his head, and prepared to leave. Pyrrha tried to get him to stop, but he refused and left. Weiss was a bit surprised and felt a bit of pain in her chest from seeing the idiot so down like that but recovered.

"Good Riddance then."

Ruby could take no more. She stood up and promptly slapped Weiss hard.

"OW!" Weiss rubbed her cheek "What was that for you dolt?"

Ruby simply glared at her and pointed to the other occupants in the table. Weiss looked to see Pyrrha glaring at her with a deathly aura surrounding her, and then noticed Nora still being held back by her partner and Yang, her hand over the mad bomber's mouth so she wouldn't make any loud noises and all three glaring at her, and Blake was looking at her with her trademarked stoic expression, but the disappointment was clear in her eyes. Weiss, after seeing how her words affected everyone at the table, sat back down to finish eating her lunch, while taking small peaks at the spot where Jaune used to sit.

Ruby, not noticing this, went to Pyrrha and asked her. "Hey Pyrrha, is he going to be okay?"

"I don't know" Pyrrha said, now with a sad expression on her face.

Yang, who finally sat down after calming Nora down, asked her with concern on her expression and voice "I'm sorry P-money."

"It's not your fault Yang, you have nothing to apologize for." Pyrrha said, glaring at Weiss again momentarily, letting everyone know who she really blamed. "It's just..." *sigh* "It's just I wish for him to be happy."

Weiss, hearing that, felt worse.

"Jaune has been distancing himself from us lately too." Pyrrha revealed. "He's been acting a bit strange for a while now."

"Huh, how so?" Ruby asked.

"Well, he's been getting moodier and sometimes at night I can hear him mumbling and moving around a lot in his sleep." Pyrrha explained. Yang looked thoughtful and Ruby felt worried for her first friend in Beacon.

"Maybe we should look for him and try to talk to him." Ruby suggested. "It could be serious."

"Aww, is my baby sis worried for her crush" Yang teased, trying and failing to uplift the atmosphere.
