To say Jaune was freaking out was an understatement. He managed to ask his crush to the dance and she accepted. It took every ounce of his strength to not just pass out when he asked Yang. Though he couldn't freak out too much, he needed to get ready for the dance. Didn't stop him though
Jaune was browsing through a store, looking for a suit to wear. He came with Ren, as he needed his male friend for support. It's not that he didn't like the girls, but when you're friend circle mostly consists of seven females and one male, it made it hard to have those moments that guys can have when they're together. Ren also had to get a suit as Nora asked (made) him to go with her.
"Jaune, I know this is a big deal to you, but you need to relax. We need to focus on finding us some suits." On the way to the store, Jaune explained to Ren the reason why he was freaking out so much.
"I know, but still! This is like the first step to what I've been wanting for years!" He exclaimed
"Yes, I get that, but that's no reason to make yourself look like a lunatic in front of everybody." Ren stated, making Jaune freeze up for a moment, before looking around to see a few people looking at them, but turning their heads away when he looked towards them. Jaune could only blush in embarrassment.
He then turned back to the wall of suits, where he considered the options.
He thought about matching with Yang, but he didn't know what she was wearing to the dance, so that crossed that away. He decided maybe a simple black suit would be suitable. Though he gave it more thought.
'It is a FALL dance, so maybe I should get something suitable for the season.' He thought to himself.
He walked around the store, examining the variety of suits, until one in particular caught his eye. It was a black suit, paired with a grey vest underneath, but that wasn't the thing that stuck out to him. No, it was the way the suit was outlined in red, perfect for the colors of fall. (Just imagine his suit from Dance Dance Infiltration) He grabbed the suit, as well as a white undershirt and a red bowtie to go with it and went to try it on. After some moments, he stepped out revealing the well fit suit that fitted him nicely.
Ren looked at Jaune before nodding. "Seems like a good choice for the theme." Ren ended up picking a similar suit as Jaune's, but with grey outlines instead of red (Also from DDI) but still having a red bowtie.
The two paid for their suits and exited the store.
"Thanks for coming with me Ren, it was nice to have someone to help me with this stress." Jaune said.
"No problem, if anything, it gave me a chance to hangout with another guy, plus some time alone from Nora was needed" Ren said, which the two laughed at the last comment.
...
Then they suddenly felt a chill run down their spines.
Somewhere across town, a ginger girl sneezed and looked into a direction.
She narrowed her eyes before muttering "I'll break your legs, just you wait..." The girl said.
"Nora!" Yang called for her.
"Coming~" The girl, now named Nora said as she skipped over to the group. Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Yang, Pyrrha and Nora were all out dress shopping.
"What were you doing?" Pyrrha asked.
"Oh nothing, I had a feeling someone was talking about me, but it was just. a feeling." Nora said.
"Uh huh... Well alright then, well don't get left behind, we all need a dress for the dance. Don't wanna show up in regular clothes do you?" Yang asked.
"It's okay, if anyone laughs, I'll break their legs!" Nora said menacingly, more than what the others are comfortable with, causing them all to give awkward chuckles.
"In any case, I know a shop down the street from here, they make quality dresses." Weiss said proudly.
True to her word, they arrived at a shop, it seemed a little bit too fancy on the outside, but on the inside it was more nicer to their liking.
They spent several hours looking for a dress. Ruby settled on a black and red dress that suited her hair colors. Pyrrha, a red dress that went all the way down to her feet, but left her arms exposed. Nora, a simple pink dress, she wasn't too fussy about these kind of things. Weiss ended up also getting a simpler dress, but white with a black lace to wear underneath. Blake got both her short dress and under lace black (Just imagine their dresses from "Dance Dance Infiltration").
Yang was the last one searching for a dress. As she browsed, Pyrrha approached her.
"So... I hear you're going to the dance with Jaune." She said.
"Yep, he just asked me out of nowhere when Ruby and I were with Jaune. It did surprise me." Yang answered.
"Do you have any plans after the dance?" Pyrrha asked.
Yang shot a quick sideways glance towards Pyrrha. It wasn't a secret to her that Pyrrha had some infatuation with the blonde boy. So she could only imagine how she feels at this moment.
"Not at the moment, there's still a bit of time before the dance, maybe Ruby and I can play some games and watch movies afterwards, who knows" Yang said, shrugging.
"I see."
A moment of silence passed.
"Do you intend to date him?" Pyrrha asked, which got Yang to tense up for a moment.
"Not really, not that there's anything wrong with Jaune. Maybe if he offered I might consider it, nothing solid though." Yang answered honestly.
"What about that other boy? The one you asked out not too long ago? What happened to him?"
"He made the wrong moves, so I ended that before anything more could happen."
Another moment of silence.
"Just don't do anything bad to Jaune, he's a good guy." Pyrrha said, walking away.
Yang just looked at her as she walked back to the group.
Yang turned her attention back to the rack of dresses she was looking at.
"Me and Jaune eh? That's an interesting one..." Yang muttered to herself.
'There really isn't anything wrong with Jaune. He's a kind guy, always helping others, especially his friends, he can cook, bake, sing, play guitar. I guess really it's just his confidence that's lacking, always doubting himself. Though what I said is true. If Jaune asked, I might consider it.' Yang thought to herself.
As she was thinking, she spotted a dress that piqued her interest. She went to it to inspect it, and smiled.
"Perfect."
Shneesus-Weiss, it's been forever and a half since I last updated this story. But finally a chapter! I know my descriptions on the dresses were quite lacking, being a male I don't know a lot about them, so I had to do a bit of research to figure out something. Never even stepped foot in a dress shop. Anyways that's all for today!
