One Winged Angel (Sephiroth!Reader x Ruby Rose) (Discontinued)

Forever Fall

Third Person POV

We are at the Beacon Academy student dorms, where Pyrrha looks out the window sadly as Lie Ren loads StormFlower and Nora Valkyrie is jumping on her bed in the room for Team JNPR.

Nora: How come Jaune gets home so late?

Ren: He's become rather scarce lately. I wonder what he's up to.

Nora: That's weird... Doesn't he know we have a field trip tomorrow? We need our rest!

She proclaims this while twirling in midair so her back hits the covers

Pyrrha: I'm sure our leader knows exactly what he's doing.

Nora and Ren exchange glances, not knowing that Jaune himself is looking in through the crack of the door.

Nora: Mmmm... I guess so.

Jaune closes the door, he's covered in sweat and bruises from training with Y/N. The good news is he is making progress. He hears as a voice interrupts his thoughts.

Ruby: Hey, Jaune!

Startled, Jaune turns around to see her in her pajamas, and she giggles at his reaction.

Ruby: Long time, no see! Did you lock yourself out again?

Jaune: Oh, uh, nope!

He raises his Scroll, attempting to laugh.

Jaune: Got it!

Ruby: So! Where have you been lately?

Jaune: I, uh...I've been training with Y/N recently. He has actually taught me quite a lot and even offered for a friend of his to upgrade my sword. Cloud I think his name was. But I'm starting to think my team hates me because I don't spend as much time with them anymore...And if they hate me...Am I a failure at being a leader?

Ruby: Nope!

Jaune: Nope?

Ruby: Nope! You're their leader AND friend Jaune! They don't hate you and they never will.

Jaune: But... what if they do.

Ruby thinks about it for a moment, then gives her answer.

Ruby: Nope!

Jaune: You know, you're not the easiest person to talk to about this kind of stuff.

Ruby: Nope! Jaune, maybe you were a failure when you were a kid...

Jaune groans and sinks lower to the ground.

Ruby: ...and you might've even been a failure the first day we met!

He groans.

Ruby: But, you can't be one now. You know why?

Jaune: Uhhh, because...?

Ruby: Because it's not just about you anymore. You've got a team now, Jaune. We both do! And if we fail, then we'll just be bringing them down with us.

She places her hands on her hips as she speaks.

Ruby: We have to put our teammates first, and ourselves second. Your team deserves a great leader, Jaune. And I think that can be you.

She walks over to her door and opens it as Jaune, now slightly inspired by her words, watches her wave

Ruby: Have a good night, Jaune!

With new energy, Jaune pushes himself off the ground and faces the door, ready to turn the knob and face his team, he enters the dorm room, not knowing that Cardin was watching him with a smirk.
