RWBY belongs to Monty Oum and Roosterteeth

A/N- Back from break and ready to start writing again! Next update for Jaune's Legacy will be coming soon with a special surprise and special message so be on the lookout for that!

It had been nearly a week since the events on the rooftop and things had returned back to normal. Well almost normal, Jaune and Blake were acting weirder than usual. Jaune seemed on edge whenever he was around Blake.

The cat faunus herself felt great. She seemed happier and overall in a better mood. She would always try to talk to Jaune more even if she had to go out of her way to talk to the blonde knight but whenever she would get near him he would make up an excuse and run off. This had happened several times since the events on the rooftop and Blake was becoming increasingly more frustrated.

She didn't know exactly where their relationship stood but she knew damn well where she wanted it to be. She wanted more than just friendship, she wanted a lot more. Jaune wasn't making it easier for her though. He simply ran off whenever she wanted to have a serious conversation like a small deer caught in headlights.

Blake finally thought she had him when they 'accidentally' ran into each other in the hallway, the blonde doofus ended up knocking both Blake and himself onto the ground. He was positioned on top of her, their mouths almost touching. Blake's instincts screamed at her to just take him right then and there but she managed to suppress her instincts. She looked deeply into Jaune's eyes and could see the fear and panic in them.

Before she could even speak he was already off her and halfway down the hall. That was the last straw for Blake Belladonna; she was tired of playing cat and mouse with the blonde knight. She tapped her scroll fiercely writing a message to the Arc boy to meet her at the library that night; she would settle this once and for all.

…

Jaune Arc didn't know what to think of the kiss on the rooftop but he was almost certain of one thing, it was trouble for him. He seriously doubted that Blake actually held any feelings for him and that the kiss on the rooftop was more of a heat of the moment type deal. At first he thought she would be furious at him for taking advantage of her like that but she wasn't, in fact she started talking to him more and actually smiled more often then she used to.

Despite that fact Jaune still didn't want to confront her about it. He didn't know what to say or what to do; he had never been in a situation like this and didn't want to make it worse, so he ran. The blonde boy knew he was being cowardly but he just needed time to sort things out with himself before confronting Blake.

He was sure on one fact; he did have feelings for Blake. He never told anyone, not even Pyrrha, for fear of being laughed at. He wanted more than anything to make that kiss mean something but he knew that would never happen.

His heart nearly gave out when he received a message from Blake to meet at the library at around ten. He would have to infiltrate the library, as it would be closed at that time. That would mean it would just be the two of them, alone. His heart rate quickened and he felt fear grip his heart.

He wanted to just run away and not have to deal with this but he would have to face her eventually.

*LATER THAT NIGHT*

After successfully infiltrating the library, thanks to his newly acquired lock picking skills (thank you interwebs); he started searching for the black themed huntress.

Darkness consumed the inner library the only light coming from the moonlight that streamed through the windows. Silence reigned over the library, not a sound could be heard except for the soft footsteps of a certain blonde hero. He had no idea where to even begin until a thought popped into his mind.

'She's probably waiting in her favorite spot in the back corner of the library.'

Blake had taken quite a liking to the far back right corner of the library. It was a perfect spot to go to for anyone who wanted some peace and quiet and very few people knew that this was her place for escape and Jaune was among those few chosen.

It was her only little slice of paradise, no one bothered her, A neat little stand where she could keep her books, a lamp to help her read, and her personal favorite a bean bag chair. She could hang out in that spot all day if she really wanted to. It was probably the place where she wanted to settle this manner too.

Jaune approached the spot with no real hurry, with each step only making him more nervous he wasn't really looking forward to this meeting.

He peered from behind a bookshelf to the meeting place. Sure enough Blake was seated in her favorite spot, closed book in hand, lamp lighting the dark corner, and something atop her head that was not her usual black bow.

Jaune now surprised and curious stepped out from behind his hiding place and decided to confront her.

"Blake?"

The kitty faunus looked up at the blonde knight, a small smile graced her lips. Jaune had finally gotten close enough to see what was on her head. It was a bow that someone would normally put on a present.

"Um…what's with the bow?"

Blake's face began to heat up and she looked away.

"Oh it's uh…it's supposed to represent a gift."

"A gift?"

"Yea since…ya know…I never got you a gift for Christmas…"

"I see… look Blake about the other night…"

Blake looked at the blonde knight with high hopes.

"I'm really sorry for what happened, I promise I won't tell anyone…" Jaune looked down, sadness obvious in his eyes.

"You're…sorry? Why are you sorry?" Blake had a slight tinge of irritation in her voice.

"A-About-"

"Jaune do you like me?"

"WH-WHAA"

"Do you like me?"

Jaune shifted uncomfortably in his spot, still not making eye contact with Blake.

"Y-yes"

"Then you have nothing to apologize for."

"But Blake"

"I don't regret what happened Jaune."

Blake stood up and walked over to the boy. She cupped his cheeks and raised his head until he was looking into her eyes.

"I like you too. Ok?"

Blake planted a soft but passionate kiss on his lips.

A smile began to form on Jaune's face as well, realization finally dawned on him.

"Sorry for being an idiot…"

"Yea you should be. You've been dodging me left and right, but now you're not going anywhere. Right?" A slight hint of anger in her voice.

"I'm all yours." Jaune felt both threatened and happy at the same time.

"Good. I want to show you something."

Blake held out the book she was holding earlier.

"This isn't just any normal book; it's a book about my life and everything that's happened to me up until this point. I kinda just write it as I go along."

"Wow. So how long have you…"

"Ever since I could read and write."

"Wow…"

"I figured that the first step to strengthening this relationship would be to learn more about each other. Be warned there are some things I'm not exactly…proud of." Blake spoke in a lower tone, sadness evident in her voice.

Jaune gently grabbed the book and felt over the cover before flipping to the first page. He immediately closed the book and looked at Blake.

"Okay, let's do this."

He walked over to the bean bag and planted himself comfortably in it before opening his arms out wide for Blake. A blush spread over her face but she complied.

She wrapped her arms around the blonde boy and rested her head against his chest. Her body lying against his in comfort, he removed her bow and gently stroked her ears earning a few purrs. He flipped to the first page and began reading in a soft, smooth voice.

After about an hour or so Blake fell asleep, perfectly content with where she was and who she was with. Jaune could feel her breathing change and the occasional purr could be heard. He felt as if that was enough for one night and he would eventually join her in dreamland.

He had learned a lot about Blake in one day. Her childhood was not easy and she was forced to do things she didn't want to do in order to survive. In a way Jaune felt that Beacon was a relief for her. She made friends here and overall things were pretty peaceful aside from the occasional bully.

His thoughts were interrupted by a series of bangs and flashes of light. He looked out the window and noticed fireworks off in the distance.

'Oh that's right it's New Year's Eve…huh…'

He looked down at his new girlfriend, a smile on both their faces.

"Happy New Year's Blake"

A/N- Well that was a thing. Also go check out Kegi Springfield on Deviant art, they made a cover image for Beacon Brigade and its pretty cool so leave some love for them. Until next time…

Carnage out.
