CH 6
A/N Hey guys, long time no see. Fault on my part that is. I just kind of fell out of the story and lost my will to write for a while. This story never left my mind however and I wanted to continue it but just could not find the motivation to just sit out and write it. Once I did I got to a certain point and hit another bout of lack of motivation. I will be continuing this story. However, the update schedule is up in the air. I have the rest of the chapters planned and thought out but I just have to get around to writing them. Once again, I apologize for taking so long to update, I hope that you will forgive me...enjoy!
It was not long before the boys were pulling up in front of the Xiao Long residence. On the way over the boys decided on a plan of action of how exactly they were going to crash the party. That is why the group of guys were hoisting Jaune (who drew the short end of the stick) onto the roof to sneak into an open window on the second floor of the house.
"Okay guys, remember, once they scream you guys come bursting in." Jaune whispered as he looked over the edge of the roof and only got several thumbs up for an answer. To say Jaune was bursting with excitement is an understatement. He is all smiles as he made his way over to the open window as quietly as possible before entering in through the window. He had never been on the second floor of the Xiao Long household before, it looked like he entered into a bedroom
Jaune made sure that his footsteps were light as he made his way across the dark room and into the hallway, He was crouched down at the knees and waist to make himself as small as possible and moved down the hallway until he came to a flight of stairs leading down to the first level. From the noise coming up the stairwell Jaune could guess that it lead down to the room that all of the girls were in. Taking a deep breath and readying himself Jaune began his assault. He crept down the stairs as far as he could without being spotted. From his spot he could see a majority of the girls and tried to decide on who he should go for.
Yang was obviously a no. She would be more likely to put him through a wall than be scared. Blake didn't seem like the type of person who could be was too afraid of Weiss for her to be his target, and Ruby and Nora were out of sight at the moment. That only left one person who could be a target. Fortunately his target had her back to the stairwell and was currently engrossed in a conversation.
Deciding that there was no time like the present Jaune slowly crept down the stairs as far as he could before Weiss who was looking his way noticed him. When she did, Jaune took off as fast as he could and came as close as he could to straight up tackling Pyrrha before screaming at the top of his lungs. The end result? A loud scream from a redhead, and an uppercut that took Jaune off of his feet.
The other three guys of the group strolled in through the front door to see Pyrrha peeking out between her fingers and Jaune on the floor, groaning at her feet.
"I told you he'd do it." Sun said as he plopped down on the couch next to Yang.
"I never said he wouldn't" Neptune replied casually as he found his place next to Weiss on the floor.
"Yeah, couldn't say I didn't see that one coming." Ren agreed as he looked around for a second before deciding the most likely location Nora would be, which of course was the kitchen. He walked out of the room and into another, the only noise coming from him was a loud sigh as he apparently reached the kitchen.
"Not that I don't mind or anything." Yang said from her spot on the couch, pulling her legs up onto Sun's lap. "But why? Just why?"
"Ehh, we got bored." Was Sun's simple answer as he 'stretched' and put his arm behind his girlfriend, eliciting a roll of the eyes from her and a sigh from Neptune. "Well that and I wanted to see what would happen if we did that. And by we, I mean Jaune." There was a quick response of a one fingered salute from Jaune who was now in a sitting position with Pyrrha vehemently apologizing for cold cocking him.
"Well now that the whole gang's here, how about we start up a real party game?" Yang asked as she waggled her eyebrows and pulled a out a box, seemingly out of nowhere.
"Oh god." Jaune groaned as he put his head in his hands, the rest of the group sharing his feeling and noises, excluding Pyrrha, who of course did not know what was going on, and the self dubbed team sloth (Nora's idea) who of course were in the other room but came back at the sound of the collective groans. "Do we really have to? We already know who will win."
"Jaune," Pyrrha questioned with a tilt of her head. "What are you talking about? What game is she talking about?" The question of course drew the attention of everyone in the room and elicited more groans.
"Only the best game ever!" Yang said while putting the bottle on the ground. "Truth or dare bitches!"
"...she's this excited about truth or dare?" Pyrrha questioned, furrowing her eyebrows.
"It's all she cares about when we get together like this. She has a weird thing about embarrassing people. It's...frightening." Ruby replied while hugging her legs to her chest. "Don't ever choose dare on her turn. It's never a good result."
"We might as well get this over with guys." Sun said as he pushed the couch back and took a seat on the floor.
The rest of the group groaned again and took their places on the floor, excluding Pyrrha who sat with an obvious interest in the game since she had never played before, only heard about some things that can happen, including partial nudity, embarrassing acts, exposition of secrets, and worse.
(A/N Not writing this full scene….you'll get the gist of it…)
And so, after a long session that left Sun without clothes on, Weiss glaring at Neptune, Neptune hiding behind the couch, Blake back to reading her book (not being interested in the game), Ren and Nora dropping out once Nora got hungry, and Ruby hiding behind Zwei. Leaving only Pyrrha, who was now sitting in Jaune's lap, Jaune, who's face looked like an overgrown tomato, and Yang, the only one who wasn't embarrassed about what was going on at all.
"Y-your turn Yang." Jaune said while trying to keep his face from exploding. "And please be gentle." He added as a whisper afterwards.
"Okay here it goes…" Yang said as she flipped a quarter in the air. Since Jaune and Pyrrha occupied the same position the only way for them to decide who was chosen was by a flip of a coin. "Ouch, bad luck Jaune, three in a row." Yang proclaimed with a diabolical grin. The fire lighting up in her eyes promising a hard time for the fellow blonde.
"Oh jeez." Jaune wheezed as he let his head sag. Of course it was him again. "Uhh dare...I think." Jaune said, not wanting to reveal any more of his personal information.
"Okay, try this one on for size, big boy…" Yang sneered as she leaned in for dramatic effect. "I dare you to kiss Pyrrha. Not on the cheek, not on the top of the head, not on the nose, but on the lips, full on, for three seconds." Yang purred, making her voice soft and quiet, almost like a cats purr, to unnerve the boy even more. To say the least, it worked.
"I'm not sure…" Jaune replied instantly, his face getting even redder, if that was even possible. "I don't want to do something that would make someone else uncomfortable." His eyes darting around the group quickly, looking for someone to help him. None of them looked like they would, which of course wasn't a surprise.
"Jaune it's fine, I don't mind." Said a voice from below him. Jaune looked down into unwavering emerald eyes and did not see an ounce of a lie there.
"If you're sure then…" Jaune trailed off as he shifted his body and began to lean down towards Pyrrha's lips. To him it felt unnaturally slow. Whether that was due to time slowing down or him just being slow he wasn't sure. But he knew he couldn't keep his eyes open, so he snapped them shut and just hoped he hit his target. After what felt like an eternity, his lips finally met something soft, and he pulled back ever so slightly before moving in and capturing what he guessed what was her lips fully. After what Jaune could deem as three seconds, it could have been a minute and he would have never known, he pulled back slowly and opened his eyes, to see Pyrrha doing the same.
"So...uhh...that was well...uhhh...I forgot something in the kitchen…" Jaune stuttered before standing up, unceremoniously throwing Pyrrha off of his lap, before making a 'calm' dash to the kitchen.
"Uhh...I'll go help him." Sun said after a second before following his friend out of the room and away from the blushing redhead who had her hand to her lips. Sun entered the kitchen to see Jaune pacing before stopping once he entered. "Man, that was one hell of a first kiss." Sun proclaimed while clapping his friend on the back only to receive a nod in return.
