(Y/n):
I walked off he ramp of my ship with Ruby still in my arms, mainly because she fell asleep, and because I just wanted to hold her. I think there may a unspoken thing between us, but I can't bring it up now, at least finish a semester right? I mean I can't rush it I would never want to do something she isn't comfortable with. The ships ramp closed and I put it back in camo mode, clicking my boots and starting to slowly fly forwards, picking up speed as I soared. My flight would be nice and easy, and Ruby hadn't even woken up yet. I flew through a cloud which caused Ruby to sniff and giggle a bit, and I half smirked at her terrible acting skills. She wasn't asleep, probably just to lazy to move, but I didn't care. I saw where our dorms were and slowly leaned in that direction, my rocket boots taking it towards our rooms with ease. I saw Jaune walk out of his dorm through a window, looking ticked, confused, and almost....scarred?
"I wonder what's up with him?" I asked myself, slowly landing on the ground, and positioning my hold on Ruby, and then kept walking.
My suit didn't necessarily give me more strength, just more energy, and Ruby wasn't that heavy anyway, so I kind of got lucky this time. I walked up the stairs of the dorm, my feet clanking against the metal, making a small ruckus, but it was only 7:50 so no one was asleep. Tonight was the sleep over, and when I reached the top of the stair case, Jaune was there. He was slumped against a wall, his knee up and his arm resting on it, as he put his hand through his hair.
"Rough day?" I asked, nodding to him, which caused a small jump, but otherwise he was fine.
"You could say that" he said, almost looking to me with a sense of hope.
"Alright bro, just let me drop of Ruby..." I said, walking past him to towards a rwby room.
I knocked on the door, and it was answered by a half naked yang, the only thing wrapped around her a towel, and her hair in a towel.
"Why hello (Y/n)".
"Do I look like Yin?".
"Shut up" she said, smiling at the thought of him.
I rolled my eyes and walked past her, over to Ruby's bed, and raising her so she would be comfortable.
"How was meeting dad?" Yang asked, taking off her head towel and whipping around her hair.
"I'll tell you later, wake her up soon, and I'm leaving before you are naked".
"Probably a good idea" she said, giving me a half smile as I left.
I closed the door behind me, and Jaunes head against the wall, like he was deep in thought. I quietly walked over and slid down next to him, giving him a small nudge with my shoulder, and getting him out of his head.
"So what's troubling ya? Hitting on Pyrrha not working out for ya?" I asked, throwing a cocky smirk while I waited for him to laugh a little at my joke.
"Heh I wish. I just...Im not sure I can be a leader......" he said, exhaling a sigh and leaning back against the wall
"Why not?".
He paused for a moment, looking at me, as if he was wondering something.
"Can you keep a secret?" He asked, turning towards me.
"Of course. Anything for my first friend at beacon".
He nodded, and then looked right at me, trying to keep a straight face.
"Uh (Y/n). I'm not supposed to be here".
"What?" I asked, throughly confused.
"I'm not supposed to be here. I never went to a battle school or any type of military school, just a regular grade school. One day when I was getting beat up by some soon to be beacon kids, they dropped something. A blank file that had test scores and validation, but no personal information. So seeing my chance to do something better with my life, I decided to forge the papers, and see where they would get me. Now I'm here, and Cardin found out, and had been blackmailing me ever since. I'm supposed to be the leader of JNPR, and I'm not even supposed to be here. I can't get any help either, I need to stop being the lovable idiot. How does that look? The idiot leader?".
He looked Almost as if he wanted to cry, or at least punch a wall. Jaune was really upset about this, and I couldn't blame him.
"It looks like JNPR has a tactical leader that will fight for them then".
"What?".
"You may not have been here for the reasons you wanted to be, but that doesn't mean you can't improve. You are destined for greatness bro, I know it. Your team is very lucky to have you. You may not think yourself a good leader, but look at all the accomplishments you have already achieved. Your team never fights with each other, and when it's team matches you always come out on top".
"What about when we fought (T/n)".
"Shut up I'm in the middle of my speech. Look the point is, you are better then you think, and your time will come. You can always ask for help with things, I mean I ask my sister, or Ruby, or (T/n), or hell even you for help a lot. It's alright to swallow your pride, you just have to know when to. There is no dishonor in it".
His expression was blank, like he was really contemplating something, as if he was shocked I could answer like that.
"Here, I want to show you something...." I said, taking out havoc and flipping it into knife mode.
"Your weapon?" He asked, puzzled at why I would show this.
"Press that button I told you not to press".
He took it from my hand, and pointed it towards himself, which caused my to quickly point it outwards, and then give him the go. He pressed the button on it, and a green one sided blade spewed out, the green dust in the ammo cartridge powering the blade. I had all different types of ammo, each changing the color and effect of the blade. This one was acid, so it was green. The bullets are super armor piecing, and hard to aim, but still manageable.
"H-how. Only he anti gang can do this-".
He slowly turned to me and his eyes widened, realizing what this meant.
"If the lone wolf antifang can lead a team, so can a charismatic strategist. This is just a low point Jaune, don't beat yourself up it. I know you want everyone to stay out of it, but you may not be able to handle this on your own. Tommrow we have a field trip, and the sleepover is probably going to be tommrow to, since it would be Friday. Just relax Jaune".
"But I still can't figh-".
"Well you may not need to. Tell you what, I'll make you a weapon. Just like this one. But I'll make the energy blade a option, so we can keep our secret. You got that?".
He kept his shocked expression, before he grinned a huge grin, and hugged me, lucky turning off the blade before he did so.
"Dude I don't know what to say...".
"Say thanks, and stand up to Cardin. Regardless of what he does, I'll stand by you, and so will your team, and everyone else. We are all hear for you Jaune".
I almost thought I saw a tear in his eye, and he smiled, then both of us standing back up. We did a bro hug before he turned back to his room.
"Thanks (Y/n)".
"No problem. Now go get some sleep ya basterd".
He laughed as he started to walk off, going into his room before me.
"Well there (Y/n), I guess you can make friends without me after all".
I turned around to see Annabel smirking as she leaned against the wall.
"Wall leaning is my thing".
"Not anymore little bro".
She walked over and gave me a small hug, before pulling away, with a Grimm look on her face.
"What's wrong?".
She was silent for a moment, before looking back to me.
"I might have to leave soon (Y/n). Ozpin wants me and my team on a special mission, and I'm going to be gone a while..".
"Well when do you leave?".
"At the end of the volume".
"What?" I asked, not exactly sure of what she said.
"I told you dumbass, next semester".
"Oh, right. My bad" I said, smiling a cheeky grin.
"Dumbass".
"I'm your brother".
"Exactly, with my genes you should have been smarter" she said, whipping her hair.
We both laughed, and she smiled, making me smile.
"Why tell me so early though?" I asked, bringing the conversation back to our original topic.
"Because I want for you to finally visit mom and dads graves....".
