A mix of a little hiatus,a little writer's block, and a massive amount of darks souls 3, Assassin's creed unity, and the entirety of mgsv, I've returned from the dead so let's give the fans what they want eh?. ONCE MORE UNTO THE BREACH baabyyy. P.s I am not a weeb, those banime references were jokes
Kept You Waiting Huh?
"You know this isn't that bad" His voice echoed across the roof, his companions amber eyes pierced the darkness. she glared at him, but no words were exchanged.
"..."
"Okay, Maybe it's a little bad" The awkwardness seeped out of his voice, she responded yet again, with another glare "Alright, maybe it's really bad" he sighed
Once again nothing left her mouth but silence, it spoke volumes to him, volumes of frustration, there is nothing like being trapped on a roof with a person who won't talk to you.
"I get that you're a little upset, but uh" His signature filler word left his mouth as he tried to fix the situation "I know! why don't we tell each other how we got here, that sounds good right"
She said nothing, Blake Belladonna, the trapped faunus said absolutely nothing to improve the moral of the stranded hunters.
"So, uh, I guess that means I'll go first" He gave a nervous chuckle, he awaited response, there was none "So, it all started in oobleck's class"
'Mr. Arc, do you finally wish to contribute to the class.' The green haired professors voice rang in his head arousing him from his slumber
Jaune gulped as he was awoken from his nap, his blonde mop shook as his mouth hung dumbly, he certainly did not wish to contribute to class.
'Do you want a hint' His teachers hushed tone broke him out of his stupor
'Y-yeah' He stuttered
'The answer is not, binoculars'
"Oh, is this when I gave you that note" Her voice pierced through his story, this was the first time she had spoken to him since the had been trapped, he felt oddly pleased.
"Yeah, It was the note" His blue eyes glimmered in her actual paying attention to him, there was literally nothing else for her to do, but he felt it a victory nonetheless. He continued on.
His voice stuttered and his mind wept at his misfortune, as time moved forward as nanoseconds became awkward, full seconds, his mind raced searching for any reply, the person next to him was his hero, He saw her with one of those small signs of hers, waving the answer, their eyes met he nodded slyly, and spoke
"Uh sir, i think it was Garfield the Hungry's Cavalry unit defeated the white fang in this battle," His voice a pitch higher than usual, His teacher eyed him suspiciously
'Correct Mr. Arc' he zipped away to continue teaching on his coffee fueled mania
"Hey" She once again interrupted his tale
"Hmm"
"Why were you sitting next to me, rather than your team?" She asked, she hadn't meant to come off rude, she was just genuinely curious, it was the cat in her
"Uh, no reason, just felt like, ya know changing it up" His arms shook and danced as he replied as quickly as he could
Her expression was unreadable. No response was made on his counterpart. She returned to glares and silence, her arms crossed underneath her breast.
"Shall I continue" she stared awkwardly at him, she made no attempt to respond, he couldn't figure out if it was out of hatred, or shyness "Let's do this a different way then," His smile grew louder than his voice "Say...nothing if i should continue"
She gave no verbal refusal
"Aww, you do care!" his voice reformed his extravagant tale
The amber eyed angel, was gone before he could give thanks, therefore, he began a quest.
"I shall have the fair lady's heart-er, thanks I guess" He spoke out loud, himself the only person located in the room
"So you spent time looking for me?" Her light smile, brought warmth to his brain, and his second one too.
"Yeah I looked for like an hour." He beamed
"So, you spent an hour looking for me." his smile turned cheshire as her tone turned teasing
"Do not, read into it" His remark did not stop her from cheesing at his expense "Can I continue?"
She simply nodded his story was either warming her up, or she was just being less shy either way it was a win for him.
He knocked at the door to his sister teams dorms room, the gentle rapping awoke the team leader resting inside
"Hey, Jaune" The young reaper yawned as she spoke
"Hey Rubes" He responded politely "Have you seen Blake"
"Uh no, she went to the library to read, or something"
"Okay, uh thanks"
"So, you went to the library" Her quiet voice broke his train of thought, her cheesing grin held his gaze
"Yeah" he scratched the back of his head, Her sly cat like smile spread across her face again
"I told you not to read into it, you're reading into it, you're very much so reading into it" Contrary to his false bravado of confidence he consistently held, his face was redder than the cloak of his first friend.
"I'm not" She was
"You are" He smiled, as much as he acted embarrassed he enjoyed her company.
The grins met, their eyes locked, their gazes held, she faced away, red, and he stared at her blushing face.
"Uh," He interjected to break the sense of hopeless awkwardness "How about I finish that story"
She nodded her red face still contained the remnants of a smile
"So I was on my way to the library"
"I wasn't in the library"
"That's is exactly what the librarian told me" He spoke "So I guess i'll skip that part, onto the roof than"
"When I get to the roof ports probably going to show up and say something like" he paused to think "She went to the emerald forest to find liquid and stop metal gear, and save meryl just like i did in 1998"
He walked up the stairs quietly mumbling to himself, he shoved open the door.
"Hello" He muttered quietly, he thought to have seen someone
"Hello" He spoke just above a whisper, It was definitely a person clad in black
He opened the door fully, and walked through
"WAIT!" a new voice shouted
"Huh?"
He let go of the door upon hearing a new voice, it slammed, it clicked, he heard the locking mechanism shut
"FU-"
"And that's how it happened"
"IT was kinda weird hearing you swear so aggressively"
"Well It was kinda weird to hear you scream at the top of your lungs"
"Touche"
"Thank you"
"I mean you usually act all gentlemanly though" She diffused the possible petty argument
"Yeah, I don't usually swear in any way" He spoke frankly "But, I also don't usually get trapped on a roof"
She nodded and shivered, the frigid winds broke her cool, as much as she hated being compared to here animal counterpart, just like a house cat she could not handle the cold very well. The cool air made her skin weep.
An awkward silence broke through the group, the couple of stranded students thought of nothing to say.
"So why did you move"
"Move what"
"Seats" She said
"It's a little personal" He spoke quieter
"Jaune"
"Yeah"
"We. are. on. a roof"
He stared off, she placed an arm on his shoulder
"As little as I know about personal" She paused "Right now I'm sure we are as personal as it gets"
He hesitated before speaking, "Yeah, I guess you're right" He locked his eyes on the hand that firmly grasped his shoulder, a feeling of warmth met his stomach. "Let's do this" he sighed out his sentence
Silence broke out,
"I've been feeling bad"
"About what"
"About her" his words grew louder and his body became more animate. She knew who he was refering to
"What about her" she raised an eyebrow her cat-like curiosity taking over her inhibitions
"I" He stopped for a second before continuing "I don't love her"
"What" she looked confused
"I don't love her, like she loves me"
"Why?"
"I-i don't know" He stuttered his words "I feel like i should but I really don't"
"So you've known this whole time" She was a little surprised that Jaune the Oblivious, was not so oblivious "You've been leading her on"
"I didn't mean to, at first I thought ignoring it would help, it did not, so I've just been rolling with the, uh, gut wrenching punches"
"Mhmm" She hummed to his thought
"So uh now you know my second deepest secret"
"Second" She questioned him
"Transcripts"
"Ah, I remember"
"Yeah..."
Another silence overtook the two
"Maybe we should get some rest"
"Okay"
Tell jose to insert time skip please(Don't tell Wonder I didn't insert time skip)
His eyes burned the darkness, the royal blue colored eyes of the yellow haired student pierced the blackness. He rubbed the sleep out of his eyes, his hand navigated to his scroll to check for service, but lo and behold there is zero bars. His time read 1:30, he had been asleep for 4 hours, he hoped he could sleep through this roof experience. He moved towards the only other occupant of the roof, the person who he trapped with his lack of attention. He felt as an Arc he had to apologize he was hesitant but, now was the time. He shuffled himself across the roof until he reached the spot directly next to her.
"Hey" She stirred as she woke, she made direct contact with him as she sat up
"Yeah"
"I'm, like, really sorry for getting us stuck here"
"You're forgiven"
"You're not mad"
"No"
"You don't despise me and want to curse my first born child"
She cocked her head to the right, "Uh no" She smiled a bit "I don't think I could do that second one anyway"
"Oh, uh ok"
"Can I ask a question"
"Y-yeah sure" He wasn't sure why he stuttered
"It's bout her"
He knew her question before she asked it "Go for it"
"Why?"
"Why, what?" He didn't know why he acted like he didn't know
"What is wrong with her."
"I don't feel anything, and like I said before I don't know why" He continued his voice starting to sound more broken "I've known she likes me for a while now" He chuckled, emptily, he smile grew, but it was filled with melancholy
"You know" He spoke softly "A man can only be so oblivious"
He pointed at her chest
"You can feel it, in your head, in your chest" He chuckled darkly before continuing "but I-i don't feel it"
"I'm sorry for asking"
"Nah, I had to get it off my chest" He smiled "Feels a wee bit better now"
"No problem Jaune"
"Hey"
"Yeah"
"You should be a therapist"
"Why"
"Your inquisitive silence is calming"
"Thanks"
Another silence
"This is Weird" He spoke
She Nodded
"And Awkward" He continued
She nodded yet again
"But, it's not so bad"
She raised an eyebrow, the cold air blew
"Hey, are you cold" He noticed her body vibrate with the wind
She shook her head but her body betrayed her, her teeth chattered
"Don't worry" He pulled out a cubic object with a round button, he pressed the it down and it unfolded into a small fire, her eyes widened as the small object combusted the small fire enveloped them providing both light and warmth.
"Where did you get that" She spoke her voice rather excited
"My family went camping all the time, so I have a few just in case" he smirked "You didn't think that these pouches were just for show"
She merely nodded in awe as she scooted closer, the inches apart.
"Hey" she spoke
"Yeah" he responded
"How long have we been here"
"Like 3 or 4 hours"
"How much time until the doors automatically unlock"
"About 5 or 6 more"
"God I hate the curfew system" She almost seemed to scoff as she spoke
"Me too" He simply nodded
A comfortable silence overcame them, as the time went on her eyes lidded shut, drowsiness overcame. Her head fell into his body. He winced upon the contact,
They had remained against each other for a long percentage of the time they had left, the silence was comfortable, but he made to speak
"Hey" He echoed remnants of the previous conversation
"Yeah" She spoke her tone less closed off, more open.
"Nothing"
She looked up at him, her Amber pierced through his blue, her face reddened, his followed suite.
He leaned in, his mouth neared hers, their lips near uniting, her's inviting him closer,
suddenly, the door clicked unlocked. The moved apart, her head still near his, but farther than before. The freedom had come, they could leave at any time
"We're free"
"Mmm" she hummed out loud again, she didn't want to leave yet
"I think we should hang out today"
"Really" She responded quickly, her voice almost sounded excited
"Yeah why not, let's meet in the library"
"Okay" She nodded her head
She rose off him
he stood up next to her
They walked out the door
Alright, so that's a wrap,
So you know the usual, like, comment, and subscribe for more, Nah i'm just playing.
If you could leave a review that would be cool though. So onto the details of my process, I got a good bit of inspiration from this from a few of those higher ups, so pay the FF gods of this section respect, they are your elders you know. So on this succulent piece of work, I don't plan on continuing it, but I may write some sort of sequel if my immense schedule allows for it
Now it's time for our newest section, the process in the office, with your host Wonder,
Hey everyone it's your host Wonder, and today we will describe the process of characterization.
So, as we all know Our girl with the bow, has issues with socializing, so i tried to show her warm up, not due to comfort but due to the ROOF. The forced situation would create a more unique form of conflict, since as we have seen, when Blake in confronted with nowhere to go she often will just say everything.
Till then
Remember what I always say,
"There is no need to wait until the next life,
The next day, is your next life, because tomorrow is a new start"
Or something like that
~Wonder
