Yaaaang... Ruby.....? Zwei? ...Does Weiss even live here?

...

[ knock knock knock knock-- he'll be doing this for a while ]

[flaredo]

[ FINALLY, the door swings open. He may have heard Zwei barking in the background, but there's Yang, totally unimpressed by Jaune's barrage of knocking. ]

What did the door ever do to you?

[beaconed]

Yang! What a surprise! [ you're the one visiting her ]

I was just on my way home from grocery shopping, I thought I'd... get something for Zwei!

[ He does have a grocery bag on him, but what he pulls out of it is just a can of beans. ...He doesn't really have anything for Zwei. ]

[flaredo]

That's... sweet of you, but I don't really think he should be eating beans.

[ No one needs a gassy corgi. ]

[beaconed]

Aw, nooo, that's too bad.

[ HE'S SMILING THOUGH. Very, very conspicuously.

...
And continues to do so as he stares directly at her. So not creepy. ]

[flaredo]

...

Okay, you're starting to weird me out. Why are you really here?

[ SPIT IT OUT. ]

[beaconed]

[ STILL GRINNING. Nodding. Shaking his head... then nodding again! ]

[flaredo]

... Okay, good talk!

[ STARTING TO CLOSE THE DOOR. ]

[beaconed]

[ STOPS THE DOOR and SCREAMS into her face-- ]

I HAVE A FIRLGRIEND!!!!!!! Girlfriend!!! Gahh--

[ FUCK, he's been waiting all his life to say this, practicing it in his head, and now he's so nervous that he fucked it up. Ah, the Jaune Arc life... ]

...I think. Wait, did we ever... uh.........

[ --and now he just invites himself to the apartment, pushing past the other blonde as he paces around aimlessly. ]

Yang, I dunno what to do with myself!! My heart's gonna explode! I wanna do all the things! I wanna call my mom but I can't so you gotta understand! [ understand...... that you're like his mom.......... ]

[flaredo]

[ Well, since he already invited himself in, he won't mind if Yang grabs him by the shoulders.

... And gives him a brisk shake, for good measure. ]

Your mom better be young and good-looking, for starters-- and when did you get yourself a girlfriend? And who?

[ DETAILS, MAN. ]

[beaconed]

W-What?! Why do you gotta say it like you don't believe me! I'm not making it up!!

[ she didn't say it like that ]



...w-well, actually, I'm - unclear on the G.F. part... but...

[flaredo]

... But?

[ Jaune, you're not being very forthcoming on the details here. ]

[beaconed]

[ YOU'LL GET DEETS SOON, but for now Jaune just

invades Yang's personal space as he steps real close. ]



.......I think we kissed.

[flaredo]

[ GRASPING HIS SHOULDERS AGAIN-- ]

... Uh, Jaune, you know that's something you don't... usually have to think, right?

1/???

[beaconed]

[ GRASPING HER HANDS THAT ARE ON HIS SHOULDERS ]

Uh, Yang, don't you think I don't know?!

[ And then he breaks free of the grasp to walk away a few steps before turning to face her again. ]

Okay, Yang!! Tell me!!! You tell me if this counts, okay? So we're fighting this BIIIIG elephant monster, right? Like, bigger than the one you and I Firewall'd. Which was still cool, by the way. There I am, fighting it from the ground while Rapunzel takes it from the top! Like, she literally jumped on it, she's so amazing, Yang--!!

[beaconed]

But then the elephant starts choking on my locker!!! --Wait, that's not.. that's... I skipped that part, where my locker comes in-- whatever, not important! So the elephant is going crazy! Stomping around, trying to kill me, but I dodged it like this!

[ Jaune does a barrel roll on the floor. But wait, there's more-- ]

[beaconed]

But then RAPUNZEL, man, this is painful-- Rapunzel is sent flying-- LIKE WOOSH!! [ Jaune runs and practically hurls himself at the recliner, which causes it to tip over and fall. ] --ow.

[ He's not done. YOU WANTED THE FUCKING DETAILS ]

[beaconed]

[ .....STANDS UP AND CONTINUES. ]

--Yeah! Like, full-force, straight into a broken bill board. How did she survive that without an Aura? A-Anyway, so the elephant goes down, which makes the ground shake, okay?

The bill board is tipping over!

Rapunzel is on it! Probably still seeing stars from that hit, right?

So I'm, like, I gotta catch her, the thing is falling and so is she!! So, I ran, Yang! I hold out my arms--

[beaconed]

[ ZOINK. He grabs Zwei for this bit, holding the corgi high up above him. ]

And she falls on me like this!

[ He starts bringing Zwei towards his face in slow-mo. ]

Like this, Yang, are you watching?

[ Lowering.... ]

I caught her like I'm holding up Zwei, all 80 pounds of her.

[ ....yes, all the way to his face. His lips are on Zwei's and he freeze-frames his reenactment there. ]

D O N E

[beaconed]

[ Still not moving, only his eyes turn as much as they can to look at Yang. ]

Tho ith that a kith, or...

[ ...Zwei licks Jaune's mouth. ]

[flaredo]

[ Don't mind her, as she's going around, setting the recliner upright; she's listening.

And then rather calmly liberating her dog from Jaune's lascivious embrace. ]

Well, did she also lick your mouth, or did she start screaming, or did she stay there for longer than three seconds? Because if it's the last one, that's a kiss.

[Ruby was just going to take a shower, okay.

Except the mask follows her.

And she wasn't expecting it.

So she's tumbling out of the shower with a shriek, and then the shower curtain comes down on top of her.

Dammit, mask.

GOOD MORNING, YANG.]

[flaredo]

[ GOOD THING SHE DOESN'T JUST CHARGE IN THERE when she hears the noise, but she sure does come close-- so enjoy someone banging on the door. ]

Ruby?! Ruby??? What happened??
