Jaune Arc looked up toward the screen on his Scroll and gave a deep sigh, rereading the message that he had spent the last hour typing up. It was most likely the most sickeningly sweet thing that he had ever written before, containing all his feelings and desires toward the girl he secretly loved. Normally he didn't really do this sort of thing, but with it being Valentines day in Vale he had just felt the need to do something like this. Most days he could keep it as deep as possible so it didn't interfere with anything, but today it had just gotten to the point where he had to put all of it somewhere other than his head. "Man I am such a dork," he said to himself, rereading the message for the hundredth time.

So uh hi, I guess you are probably going to be a bit surprised to get this message, but I just wanted to say that I loved you. No joking around, no long way about it I am head over heels for you, I really have been from the moment we first met. Being around you makes my heart pound faster than a drum, and getting to even be near you makes me feel like I am flying without the air sickness that comes along with it. Honestly I want nothing more than to spend every single day at your side, even if it means I can only be your friend, through if you gave me half the chance I would hand over my heart to you in a flat second and not look back. I know it seems really fast for me to be saying something like that, heck I get it if you think this is some big practical joke I am pulling on you, but it isn't. I may not know a lot of things, but the feelings that come to me every time I see you couldn't be anything else. I love you, and I hope that maybe one day you could feel the same way for me. Maybe even if you couldn't love me yet, maybe you could still consider being my Valentines today? -Jaune Arc

It had gone through a thousand edits until the words in his mind had managed to fully translate onto the page, but the time was well spent for the final product, all of his deepest feelings toward the one he loved were there on the screen in front of him. And now that they were all out it was time to delete them and make sure that no one saw them. Ever. Writing it down had been good for venting, but if it ever got out it would most likely send them running to the hills away from him, or give off the impression of some clinging madman. He tapped the screen a few times to get over to the delete key, noticing for a moment that the 'send to group' option was only a little lower then it.

"Heh yeah right, imagine if I sent it to all the girls I know?" that would have been an absolute disaster, most likely resulting in the kind of pain that only bad day time television could offer. Yep he was lucky that unlike the goofballs on the screens he wasn't nearly so...

"Message sent to group 'Girls of Beacon', you have now reached your message sending limit for the month." his phone gave off that message in a kind and friendly female tone, which did nothing to suppress the terror of what had just happened.

For a moment Jaune thought that he was just dreaming, and even pinched himself to check if the pain could bring him out of the nightmare he was obviously in. When the pain ran through him after the pinch he felt his blood go cold. That message had just sent to every girl he knew at Beacon, every number he had stored in his Scroll. Some of the most dangerous people on the planet were now receiving a love confession that would seem so out of the blue that some might mistake it for a joke.

"Yeah, they will just think its a joke," Jaune rationalized, an insane glint in his eyes as he looked down toward the 'messages received' screen on his Scroll. "A big dumb prank from that old goofball Jaune, not like any of them will take it seriously," the laugh that came out of his mouth sounded pained, as if he had swallowed glass before hand. And what was the worst that could happen even if they believed it? It wasn't like they could fall for him. "But what if they did?" Jaune whispered to himself, standing up and pacing back and forth in his teams room. What if two of the girls found out he had sent the same love note? They would think he was some kind of jerk player or something. Most of them could probably kill him and make it look like an accident.

"Wait I got it, all I need to do is get their Scrolls before they can read the message, then I will just have to delete the message. How hard could that be?" at this point Jaune's voice had gained a delusional edge to it.

With some semblance of a plan Jaune walked out of his room and crossed the hallway toward Team RWBY's door, knocking on it and hoping that for once his famously bad luck would change and all of them would be in there at once.

Of course life was never meant to be that easy for the blonde haired boy, as the only one to answer the door was Ruby, still dressed in her loose fitting pajamas and looking kind of sleepy. "Jaune?" she rubbed her eyes a bit and yawned. "Its a day off, why are you waking me up when there is still so much morning to sleep away?"

"I uh...I need your Scroll." Jaune said, deciding that just being straightforward about it would be the best chance at getting the device without too many questions being asked.

Ruby blinked and looked at him for a moment. "Why?"

"I uh...lost mine and need to use yours to call and find it while it's ringing." the lie was pretty easy to believe, after all Jaune was always getting things lost here or there. He put on his most honest smile, however his best poker face was still pretty obviously to see through.

"Sure, let me go grab it," Ruby was too tired to see through her friends lie, she would let him borrow it and go back to sleep for another few hours. Maybe cuddle up with Zwei for a bit if she could get her dog up on the bunk. She went back to her bed and opened her Scroll, putting in the password and noticing something on the screen. "Oh I got a message." she opened it with another yawn and looked down to read it.

Jaune let out a squeak of terror, biting his hand to prevent the sounds of terror from being loud enough for Ruby to hear.

The first time Ruby read it her tired mind didn't quite process all of the words that were on the screen, believing that maybe she had read it wrong. The second time she read it the words became much more clear, and a visible blush began to spread over her cheeks. The third time she read it the words were burned into her mind to the point where she could repeat them without even needing to look at the screen. She slowly turned around and walked over to Jaune. "Jaune?" she said, her voice holding a strange tone to it.

"Yes?" he asked, trying to maintain some level of cool despite the fact it felt like his entire life was about to crash and burn before his eyes.

"Did you send this to me?" she asked, pointing toward the message that Jaune now regretted writing more than anything in the entire world at the

moment.

It took a moment for Jaune to find his voice and reply. "Its uh... my name on it right?" with every word he felt himself being dug deeper and deeper into a hole that seemed nearly impossible to climb out of.

For what felt like an infinite eternity Ruby said nothing. But then her face broke out into a happy smile and she flung herself onto Jaune, wrapping her arms around him in a warm embrace. "I love you to Jaune!"

Jaune's entire body went stiff as a board and his mind began to scream in abject horror at the reality of his current situation. This wasn't happening, this couldn't be happening. This was a nightmare, or some kind of evil brain slug had taken over his mind and was now slowly destroying his perception of reality by casting this horror onto his mind. "You uh...you do?"

"Of course, I mean you are always there for me, when I needed someone to cheer me up after Weiss yelled at me, at the dance when I was standing alone, and you even brought your whole team to save me when the train burst into Vale!" she happily rubbed her cheek against Jaune's stomach.

"I uh...I sure did." Jaune said, unable to summon words at the pure madness of his current situation. This wasn't how he expected things to go, oh god this really was a nightmare come to life.

Ruby stepped back and brought up her Scroll. "I can't wait to tell everyone!" she began to type up a message.

"Wait no!" Jaune said, quickly snatching away the device from Ruby and deleting her words before they could be sent, making sure not to give the device any other ideas.

"How come?" Ruby asked, a bit confused on why the man who loved her had suddenly snatched away her Scroll.

"Because...uh..." Jaune's mind attempted to come up with an excuse that would manage to fool the young woman. "Because we should tell them at the dance tonight, make it a big surprise!" his mind screamed at him again as those words came out of his mouth, and he wondered just how difficult it would be to flee the city and make a new life for himself.

Ruby's eyes lit up and she nodded, taking the Scroll back and nodding in agreement. "Right, I should get all my stuff ready, and think about what to tell everyone. I am so excited!"

"And so am I," Jaune said, a large smile on his face as the fragments of his sanity shattered more and more. "I can't wait."

"Neither can I," Ruby got onto her tip toes and kissed Jaune on the cheek. "See you at the dance!" with that said Ruby closed the door and another loud cheer could be heard on the other side of the room.

It took Jaune a few moments to regain control over his body, and after that an extra few moments to regain control over his mind. "I need to get those other phones." with that said he turned around and moved at a speed that would put many runners to shame. After all he was running for his life.


Blake felt her Scroll vibrate in her pocket as she received a message. With a casual wave of her hand she paused the movie she had been watching in the library and pulled out the device. Seeing it was a message from Jaune she opened it, eyes moving down to view the contents of the message.
