Jaune's Escapades

Patience

Pyrrha had always prided herself on her ability to wait for others. She displayed this fact when she first met Jaune, and waited for him to grow into the leader she now knew.

She showed it when she was training back in Sanctum, slowly but surely working her way to the top. She showed it once more when training Jaune herself, he whined and he groaned but he never gave up, and neither did she.

But it had been three days since Jaune had told her when he would make his decision, and she never felt more impatient in her life.

He hadn't been acting any differently, that was for sure. He was still the loveable goofball they all know and love. Pyrrha couldn't handle it much longer, she felt shivers down her spine when they had kissed, she felt her heart was about to explode when he kissed her.

All that she wanted was to feel that again, but she needed to wait. She had ten days, twelve hours fifteen minutes and thirty two seconds left until he would make his decision.

But who's counting, right?

And so she waited, she bided her time until she was ready to strike, Velvet was still a force to be reckoned with, and Pyrrha wouldn't go down easy, all that she needed was the right time.

After all, there were only ten days, twelve hours and fourteen minutes left, and she would make very good use of the time she had. Jaune has no idea what Pyrrha and Velvet both have in store for him.

Professor Port had finished one of his ravishing tales of his youth as the bell rang signalling for lunch to begin, Jaune couldn't have been gladder.

He only had nine days left to make a decision, and he wasn't any closer than he was on day one. He needed a distraction, maybe Nora would be telling a story in the cafeteria? Sure they were riddled with lies, but they were still interesting.

You'd be surprised by what an insane, explosive-hammer wielder dreams about.

So Jaune hurried along to the cafeteria, grabbing a small snack, a drink and sitting down at the usual table. Velvet and Pyrrha were by his side in no time.

Jaune distinctly remembers asking the two of them to tone down their approaches, although after what he told Pyrrha, he wasn't surprised to see her leading the charge. Velvet acting differently was a surprise though.

He hasn't told her about his decision, and he doubts that Pyrrha would've gotten rid of her upper hand so easily. Despite how nice she was, Pyrrha would do anything for a victory, rather fitting considering her name.

As the rest of their group shuffled into the cafeteria, Jaune noticed that none of them came to sit at the usual table. Jaune found this odd.

"Hey Pyrrha, do you know why no one is coming here?" He asked. Pyrrha replied as if she practiced her words a hundred times over. "I may or may not have told them what you told me in the dorm, they decided not to get in the way." Jaune paled.

"Ah."

Velvet spoke up soon after. "After Blake told me about your little 'choice' I decided to spend more time around you two, wouldn't want you to make any bad decisions that you'd regret for the rest of your life after all…"

Jaune knew that if he turned his head in either direction, daggers would be the only thing looking back. 'This really isn't going to be easy…' He thought to himself. He could practically feel the sympathetic look Ren would be giving him.

Although he could literally hear Yangs laughter in the distance.

"So I take it that you two aren't going to let up during the next couple of days…?" When their glares were turned to him, Jaune shut up immediately and ate his meal in the most amount of peace he could conjure.
