Aloha Guys and Gals! It's me!
As some of you know, parts of this story are based on events that have recently happened to me. Kind of my initial reason to writing this... I started writing this out in spite and I kind of got a kick out of being hurt emotionally by my ex. Without her help I would not be writing this. I did write a huge paragraph about how much I hate her, but thought it would be best not to put it in. :P
Please enjoy the story my friends. You readers are the true MVP's and I love every single one of you.
I do not own RWBY, Monty Oum does!
Jaune stood at his rooms entrance with a determined look on his face "Time to clean this mess." He smiled, happy to finally be getting rid of the mess.
"You look awfully happy this morning." Ruby appeared from her room wearing a pair of grey shorts and a white vest "It's kind of weirding me out..."
"Morning Ruby." He greeted the younger girl "I'm just happy that I'll be able to see my bedroom floor again."
"Oh cool, you need any help?" She smiled.
"Really? That would be great!" He smiled back "I'll start on this side." He pointed to the left "And you start on that side." He pointed to the right.
Ruby nodded and made her way over to the mess, adding some sway to her hips.
Jaune couldn't help but admire her backside as she walked to the other side of the room. She suddenly turned back to Jaune, a smirk plastered across her face.
"Naughty Jaune." She winked and turned back to the mess, happy that her planned had worked.
Jaune blushed and uttered a quick apology before kneeling down to pick up a pile of dirty clothes.
The cleaning went a lot faster than they had expected and they were almost done. All that was left to do was clean the windows and the desk.
Ruby started to clean the boys desk. She threw away empty cans and wrappers and threw dirty clothes to Jaune. She noticed a picture frame was placed down, curiousity got the better of the girl as she picked up the frame. The picture was to dusty to make out what it was, so she blew on it. A frown crept onto her face.
It was a picture of Jaune and a red haired girl. They were smiling and holding necklaces out towards the camera. Ruby felt jealousy towards this girl. In the corner of the picture, she made out the words 'Forever and always.'
Ruby gripped the frame tighter as she felt tears try and escape. A hand gently gripped her shoulder, causing her to flinch. She turned and found Jaune with a pained look on his face.
Jaune stared at what she was holding, emotions flooding his mind.
The silence kept growing until the blonde let out a sigh. He lowered his hand and took the picture "Thank you for finding this." He spoke softly.
"Who is she?..." Ruby asked "Your girlfriend?"
Jaune walked over to the bin "She is someone I'd like to forget." He sighed once again. He dropped the picture in the bin and made his way back over to Ruby.
"Why? What happened?" Ruby persisted. She was set on getting answers.
Jaune shook his head "Her name is Pyrrha and let's just say she was very important to me."
Pyrrha grabbed her buzzing phone and opened the new message.
"Oh?" She grinned when she saw the sender.
She quickly typed a reply and sent the message. She grabbed her coat and umbrella before leaving her house.
Ren was confused to say the least. Just moments ago, Jaune had stormed out of the house and now Ruby was begging him for information.
"Please?" She pleaded one more time.
The raven haired boy shook his head "How about I make you a deal? If I win you drop it, but if you win, I will tell you what you wanna know?"
Ruby practically bounced "Okay, how do I win?" She asked.
Ren stood up and opened up a cupboard, pulling out a chess board "Beat me at chess." He said with confidence.
Pyrrha walked into the coffee shop and took a seat "Sorry, I'm late." She smiled innocently "What did you want to talk about, Nora?"
Nora sat opposite the redhead, her glare, unwavering "Leave us alone." She said simply.
"Why should I do that?"
"You made your choice, Pyrrha. You left us and hurt Jaune." Nora spat venom "I won't let you hurt him anymore. He is happier now than he ever was with you."
The redhead's smile dissipated "Oh please. What do you know about love?"
Nora clenched her fist "Enough to know that if you love someone, you don't go and have sex with another guy. I know that if you love someone, you don't ask their friends to have sex with you!"
"So Ren told you." Pyrrha laughed.
"Me and Ren don't have secrets." Nora shot her a look "I only came here to tell you to leave us alone."
"Jaune is mine. He can't love anyone else the way he loved me." She countered smugly.
"That's not true. Him and Ruby are great together!" Nora's eyes went wide and she clasped her hand over her mouth.
"Ruby, huh?"
Ren eyed Ruby, trying to predict her move as she scanned the board. She picked up her rook and moved it to the other side of the board, taking out a white bishop.
"A bold move." Ren spoke, moving his king out of harms way "But you are about to be eaten alive my little red friend."
Ruby smirked and moved her queen forward "Checkmate."
Ren stared at the board "Bullshit!" He pointed a finger at the younger girl "How did I not see that?"
Ruby shrugged while smirking "Who knows?" She laughed "Now spill the beans."
The boy frowned "What do you want to know?"
"Who is Pyrrha and what is she to Jaune?"
Ren's face dropped "Oh man... Okay, you did not hear any of this from me."
Ruby nodded and Ren began the tale.
"Pyrrha was Jaune's long time girlfriend."
Ruby frowned.
"She meant the world to him, he thought the sun shone from her ass." Ren sighed "I thought she was a bitch. She used to do drugs in the house and have her...friends come over while we were all at work. I only caught them doing it because I was sent home early one day."
"She sounds horrid..." She replied.
"She was bad." Ren agreed "I caught her doing it with another man. I told Jaune about it, but he called me a liar and we fell out. He refused to believe she would do anything of the sort."
"How did they break up?"
"One day she just left. That was the day Jaune broke... Seeing your best friend like that and not being able to help them is one of the most terrifying things ever. I don't think he will ever completely heal after what she did to him." He answered honestly "If it wasn't for you, I think he would still be the broken shell of a man he once was."
Ruby perked up "What do you mean?" A faint pink tinged her cheeks "I didn't do anything."
Ren shook his head and smiled "Sure you didn't."
Rain crashed around the blonde teen. His face, a whirlwind of emotions. Jaune gripped the necklace in his hand, knuckles burning white. He stared down the red head in front of him. His blonde hair was dripping and flat causing him to flick it out of his eyes. He had sent Pyrrha a message to meet him.
Pyrrha's smile grew as she saw the boy tighten his grip on the necklace "I knew you still held something for me." She smirked 'Nora, you were wrong again!'
Jaune took a step forward and scowled "You're wrong."
"Oh? How am I?" She laughed
"The only feeling I hold for you is hate. The Pyrrha I fell in love with has died, you are pathetic." His voice started as a whisper, but developed into a shout.
Pyrrha flinched at the harsh words. Had she been wrong this whole time, she was certain he would come back and do anything she said. 'Was I wrong?... What changed?'
"All you have done is bring more pain to me! You clearly don't know a single thing about me... Not that you ever wanted to talk to me about anything. You left me when we could have talked about the issues... Either way." He grinned, the rain covering him made him look even more intimidating. His eyes void of any emotion clashed with his crazy grin "I don't want you anymore."
She was speechless, she had been wrong "This isn't over. I will win you back." She turned around and started to walk away.
"Catch!" Jaune called out after the girl.
She raised her hand and caught the object, she unclenched her hand. Jaune had thrown the necklace to her. It was a silver chain that held a yin pendant. She raised a hand to her neck and gripped her yang necklace. She felt her chest tighten up and her eyes begin to water "I.. see..." Realisation struck 'Was this it? No!' She glared at Jaune through blurry eyes "Ruby!" She called out to the blonde.
Jaune stopped in his tracks 'How does she know about Ruby?' He turned to confront Pyrrha but she had already ran away. He ran a hand through his wet hair and groaned.
"Hey Lady Killer!" Yang called out from her seat.
Jaune turned to see the blonde girl. She was wearing a pair of blue jeans and a white vest. Her feet were resting on the table, as was a bottle of pink liquid. He made his way to the girl and took a seat "Yo." He greeted, hair still wet form the rain.
"What brings you round these parts, Arc?" She asked, removing her feet from the table and grabbing the bottle.
"You know... Stuff." He shrugged "How are you?"
She brings the bottle to her lips and drinks the liquid "I'm good and you know, you can trust me if something is going down."
"I just met up with Pyrrha." He admitted.
"And...?"
"I basically told her to leave me alone." Jaune grabs the bottle "What percentage is this?"
"45." Yang replied "Why?"
"Cause it's what I need right now." He started to down the bottle.
Yang burst out into a laughing fit "You are an interesting guy, Jaune. Junior!" She called to the bartender "Another bottle!"
"Got it boss." The bartender laughed and chucked Yang another drink.
Jaune put the now half empty bottle on the table and let out a sigh of relief "That is good."
"Can we get some more over here?" Yang called out with a grin.
"Nora, what's wrong?" Ren tried to calm his orange haired girlfriend down. She had just gotten home and she erupted into a million words a second.
"Jaune... Pyrrha...Ruby..." She spoke through deep breaths.
"What about them?" Ren questioned. He heard footsteps coming down the stairs and turned to see Ruby.
"Hey guys, whats up?" She smiled.
"I don't even know..." He sighed.
Nora's breathing calmed down and she started again "Today I met up with Pyrrha to tell her to stay away from us, but she didn't listen and I might have accidentally said that Jaune had a thing for Ruby and then she smiled evilly and walked out!" She explained "Where's Jaune?"
"Jaune has a thing for me...?" Ruby smiled shyly while looking away.
Ren shook his head "He went out a while ago and he isn't picking up his phone."
"We should go and look for him." Nora suggested "Ruby, are you coming?"
"He has a thing for me."
"Shot through the heart! And you're to blame! Pyrrha gives love! A bad name!" Jaune and Yang sung through the microphone. Yang's club was also a karaoke joint, so the busty blonde decided it would be a good idea to try and get more people to sing, something about being good for business.
The small crowd would either join in on the singing or laugh. The blonde duo did not sing the best rendition of 'You give love a bad name', but t wasn't the worst.
Once the song had finished they received a round of applause and more people started to get up to sing. Yang looked at the line form and nodded 'Business is good!'. Yang felt a vibration in her pocket and pulled out her phone.
"Hello?"
"Yang, have you seen Jaune?" Ruby's voice came through the phone.
Yang looked up "Hey Lady Killer, It's for you." She threw her phone to Jaune.
"Hey?" He greeted.
"Jaune! are you okay?" Ruby asked "Where are you?"
"Ruby calm down. I'm fine." He chuckled lightly "I'm at Yang's club. Whats up?"
A sigh escaped the girls lips "Please come home soon. I miss you..."
"I miss you too, Ruby. I'll be home soon." Jaune handed the phone back to Yang and smiled "Gotta dash!"
Yang put the phone to her ear "I'll get him home safe...Okay... Love you too Rubes... Bye." She hung up and grinned to Jaune "Let's get going then, Lady Killer." She winked at the boy and made her way to the exit.
Jaune followed the girl up to a motorbike. She handed him a helmet "Put this on. Don't want you to die now, do we?" She laughed and hopped on the bike.
Jaune nodded and put the helmet on. He sat behind Yang and wrapped his arms around her waist. He thought it would have been so much cooler if he wasn't the one holding on for dear life.
The trip home was indeed fast. Jaune jumped off the bike and handed Yang the helmet back "Thanks for the ride." He smiled.
"No problem, we should hang out again sometime. Don't be a stranger." She grinned.
"I'll stop by soon." He promised.
"Good, now go and get her Killer." Yang purred and gave the boy a wink.
Jaune was speechless 'Get her? Ruby?' Before he had time to question Yang's words, she had gone "Whatever..."
Ruby ran out of the house and pulled the blonde into a death hug "You worried me you jackass!" She cried into his shoulder "When you stormed out earlier, I thought I had upset you."
Jaune was stunned, his actions had caused her to act like this. He rubbed her back softly and hugged her back "I'm sorry Ruby, I should have told you what was wrong."
She looked up and rubbed her eyes "I don't know why, but whenever I'm with you I feel weird. I got jealous looking at you and Pyrrha together..." She admitted.
Jaune smiled "Idiot. I despise her and besides." He grinned "I have my sights set on an even more precious jewel." His eyes met hers.
Ruby smiled at Jaune "I have someth..."
"Just kiss!" Yelled a familiar voice.
The pair glanced at the owner of the voice and found the orange haired girl. Her hand in Ren's.
"Man up Jaune!" Ren now called.
Ruby's and Jaune's eyes met once again. Jaune took the lead and leant down to kiss the girl. Ruby felt a warm feeling shoot through her as their lips met. As soon as it started it had finished.
Nora squealed in happiness while Ren just smiled. Ruby had a smile glued to her now crimson face and Jaune was grinning.
"Everything worked out!" Nora jumped in excitement "Now we can throw the party!"
"Party? Ren, explain." Jaune ordered.
Ren just laughed and walked into the house 'Gotta start planning that party.' He chuckled.
Yeah! I just threw things together and this happened. I will probably go back over it later and re-write parts, but I did not want to keep you guys waiting.
Thank you for reading! More to come!
