The Archangel

Just Like Old Times

"Well guys, it's been fun catching up with you! I'll keep trying to find a way to come back more often!" I said, realizing I only had 30 minutes left.

"Jaune, I'm so glad I know you'll always be with me!" Pyrrha said, gazing right into my eyes.

"Except when you're in the shower, of course!" Yang said, once again ruining the moment.

Only then did I realize that Pyrrha was hugging me. Like, literally hugging me. She could actually feel me and I could feel her, for the first time in almost two years. It felt like an eternity since I felt her warm embrace, and it felt like home to me.

CRASH

I looked down to see the ball disintegrating beneath my feet, apparently only a one-time use. That is, until I started to walk and my legs gave way immediately.

"Jaune!" Pyrrha gasped, running to my side. She helped me up, and only then did I realize that I could touch everything. Pyrrha, the grass, the trees, even the buildings were tangible to me now. I sighed, happy to know I was back where I was supposed to be.

"Well guys, I guess I'm back for good..." I said as the clock struck midnight, and I was still visible to everyone. "Well, what do you say we go get some coffee, and maybe get me some new clothes? These have been worn for 2 years, you know." I joked, causing both teams to come into a group hug.

"Glad to have you back Jaune, it's been lonely without you." Blake said, before we broke the hug and went off to bed. That night, I slept like a log, dreaming about all the food I was going to eat tomorrow. I was glad to be back with my friends. Although, I wonder how long it'll take me to recuperate from not having any physical exercise for two whole years.

Today was the day that I had been waiting for. I could now walk without crutches, and I would start training for a marathon next week. I gazed out the window of my dorm, Pyrrha beside me as Nora played terrible guitar music on my old guitar, Red reading in the corner. I wrapped my arm around Pyrrha and sighed.

"I'm glad to be back, Pyrrha."

"We all are, Jaune. We all are."
