White Knight Watcher

Weiss found him in the shade of library. He had THAT book. Weiss knew where his mind. He wasn’t in the best headspace.

She sat down next to Jaune. It wasn’t until she made a small noise that he realized she was there.

“W-Weiss,” Jaune said. “Sorry…”

“You haven’t done anything wrong,” Weiss said. She grabbed the book from Jaune. He reached for it, but stopped when he realized what he was doing.

“Is there a reason you keep reading this book?” Weiss asked.

Jaune went quiet. He looked down at his hands.

“I… talked to Oscar recently…” Jaune said.

“And?”

“It helped a lot. Really, he just… understands this… in some ways,” Jaune said, dropping his chin to his knees.

“But?” Weiss asked, knowing there was more.

“It’s not his fault. But… I miss them. Even after everything. Some messed up part of me missed…”

“Stop.”

Jaune stopped.

“Some messed up part? No. There is NOTHING wrong with you. Especially after what you went through. It’s okay to miss people… even… after all that.”

Weiss looked at her hands.

“You were alone. For so long,” Weiss said. “Of course you hold onto the only people who were there for you.”

Jaune didn’t say anything.

He felt Weiss’s fingers find his. They slid. Weiss held his hand. Jaune… couldn’t say anything.

"Ohmigosh, I love shipping Weiss and (insert non-Jaune character) because she secretly has a sweet side and has always been nothing but kind to everyone from the start~!"

But let's be clear on just how bad Weiss was in V1. She wasn't willing to trust others, she acted coldly to those she didn't see as being worthy and she had issues with her perception of groups of people like the Faunus. But Weiss is far from an evil character and I have seen many a fanfic go way overboard with her portrayal in V1 just like I have seen many a fanfic portray Jaune as some baseline misogynist in V1 as well.

It needs to be said that, like Jaune, Weiss was flawed but ultimately at her core she was raised and centered herself on decent values and her interactions with RWBY+JNPR refine her into a better person just like Jaune becomes a better person.

So, making it clear to not go overboard with how bad Weiss or Jaune were at this point (because they truly were not that bad to their core and did become friends as of V1 even), I think the idea that Jaune needed to "take a hint" is quite flawed as well. Jaune only asked her out twice. Yes, he flirted with her during initiation, but when he had an actual crush on her, he only asked her out twice and even then he didn't properly confess his feelings to her either.

People saying Jaune therefore "didn't back down" or "learn from his mistakes" are completely off-base, Jaune asked a bare minimum number of times and the reason he went back for the third even was because he never properly told Weiss he actually had a crush on her. He just asked her to do things, which reinforced her previous perception of him. This is a very important distinction.

Also the idea that Jaune "doesn't deserve" or "isn't good enough" for Pyrrha OR Weiss is fundamentally against their character arc. The whole point is that they wish to be treated as the person they are not the status symbol they represent. Saying that is like saying you support Henry Marigold x Weiss Schnee because they are similar in status. Ewwww.

It’s festival! Good times, vibes, and music all around in Vacou. If there was one thing its people knew how to do, it was not let the fate of the world get to them. Even Jaune himself was happily swaying near an open bar and enjoying the moment. Weiss on the other hand was looking at him from several feet away while Yang rubbed her shoulders.

Yang:You got this! Believe in yourself.

Blake:You know he’s at least had feelings for you before. And with the way you two have been interacting lately, I’d wager it’s still there.

Weiss:I might throw up.

Ruby:That just means the two of you will have more in common.

Weiss:I don’t wanna make things weird. We’re in a pretty good spot right now. What if it’s too soon? Maybe this is a ship passing in the night situation?

Ruby:Do you want me to ask him? I don’t feel like having a repeat of these two.

Blake and Yang:What’s wrong with us?

Ruby:…..

As the hands of apprehension held Weiss tightly, a mysterious woman came up to Jaune and started talking to him. Suddenly everyone whipped their heads around towards Weiss’s slacked jaw.

Yang:And now the pressure is on. Better-ow!

Blake:*pinching Yang* Don’t listen to her. It’s a festival. It means nothing. He probably helped her on a mission at best.

Ruby:Still, it goes to show you other people think of him. Jaune is pretty cute, reliable, and in times like these, capable. My mom used to say “the best things in life have to know you want it.”

Weiss:Yeah but…now it’s going to seem a bit awkward if I walk over there mid conversation.

Just as she said that, Jaune’s eyes met the group. He didn’t or draw attention to them. Instead his eyes blinked repeatedly.

Blake:Oh he’s not feeling her at all. That’s morse code for help.

Yang:She might be drunk. Weiss, now you can- where’d she go.

Ruby:To play hero.

She was already over halfway there. With poise and agency, Weiss walked up to the two of them, standing by Jaune and seeing this brunette that smelled of alcohol and scarcely looked like Ruby. Judging by her clothes, she was from here. To Weiss’s dismay, she was also incredibly gorgeous.

Weiss:Hello. Having fun over here? I’m-

Lady:Big hero of the year; at least one of them. I know who you are. Hehe, enjoying yourself. I was just drinking and talking to this tall glass of water. Every drink needs a chaser!

Weiss:Hehe…I know twi people who’d make that joke for completely different reasons- anyways, yes I’m having fun. Just stopping by. Thought I’d chat with Jaune.

Lady:Oh goodness, we have that common; heheheh. He’s funny~ not to mention…*looks up* big.

Jaune:*red* Ummmm.

Lady:Aww, don’t be shy. I saw him lift the side of a jeep up to rescue some people. So kind. Never thought I’d see that with my own eyes. A genuine life saver.

Weiss:Yes, he’s remarkable at his job and character. I know him well. He’s saved my life.

Lady:Oh? I’m jealous. Maybe I should find a riskier job. Would you swoop me up in your arms if I called? *winks*

Jaune:I mean…if you couldn’t walk.

Lady:Well…that would depend on you now wouldn’t it~

Jaune:Uh-

Weiss:Please don’t talk to my boyfriend like that. It makes him uncomfortable.

Blake:Ah!

Ruby and Yang:What are they-

Blake:Ssshhh!

Jaune:!?

Lady:…Oh? Boyfriend? Why didn’t you lead with that!? Hahaha! My bad! Guess I shouldn’t be surprised. A tale of heroes risking life and death across the world. Oh how romantic~ I love that for you.

Weiss:Umm thank you?

Lady:Well then, Mr. Hero, you be good to her now. It’s a festival. Dance!

The lady shimmied away as quickly as she appeared. The two of them slowly looked at each other as Weiss realized how she acted just now.

Weiss:I uh…didn’t know what else to say.

Jaune:I get it. Worked like a charm. Thanks, I never really handled situations like that well. Still I never expected to say that. Calling me your boyfriend, now that’s a unexpected.

Weiss:…I don’t think so.

Jaune:*red* Huh?

Weiss:I mean…is it really that crazy? You’re kind, funny, and have been by my side through a lot of insanity. Even back in school you cared enough to look out for me after I was a…little rude.

Jaune:To be fair I was a little annoying.

Weiss:And yet not petty enough to have me alone at the dance. Jaune, you’re…a great person. Someone anyone would be looking for. I don’t think it’s unexpected at all that I…I… *ruffles skirt* want to be with you. Jaune Arc, I like you. And I know that might be confusing and make things complicated but…I don’t know. Maybe saying it would me we-

He was impulsive by nature, deep down. What other kind of person would sneak into a prestigious school? Overtime, Jaune thought he’d gotten a handle on it. He thought after all this time, he wouldn’t act on instinct. What nonsense that was. Disregarding the risk, his arms had held Weiss by the lower back. His strength guided her onto her toes as he leaned down, silencing her with a kiss neither of them expected.

It was brief, as if the moment it started was the catalyst for snapping him back into reality. Jaune immediately leaned away, seeing Weiss look at him speechlessly with wide eyes and flushed skin. Before he could even apologize for his actions, the girls hands grabbed him by the face and pulled him back down for a deep, lasting kiss that made his arms wrap around her body while three girls suddenly screamed excitedly before covering their mouths.

RBY:It’s happening!!!!!!

Lady:*walks up* You’re welcome.

Yang:Uhhh, do we know you?

Lady:I cut my hair, show it off, and suddenly I’m a stranger? *puts on designer shades* Better.

RBY:Coco!?

Coco:Never a dull moment with your four. Weiss was pinning so loudly I had to intervene. I’ll just send her the bill for my next hair appointment.

Ruby:Wait…you just cut your hair for this?

The fashion diva smiled, flipped her hair with one hand, then walked off into the festive crowd.

Blake:Darn, we’re still not as cool as her. That’s crazy. We have to step our game up.

Ruby:Maybe I should’ve chosen to be her?

Yang:Stop that.

The scene would begin in the middle of the final battle against Salem and his group. Jaune would be behind a rock, opening his scroll to check his aura level and noticing it was dangerously low. Weiss, who was shooting at Grimms with ice shards, would see Jaune behind the wounded Jaune. She would approach him with concern on her face and create an ice bond between them. She would then take a medical kit from her belt to help him.

Jaune: Wow...It seems I've already passed on to the afterlife...There's a beautiful angel in front of me...

Weiss: Shut up, you idiot! Everything will be alright now, just stay still, we need to stabilize your aura!

Jaune would close his eyes, and Weiss would notice this and place both hands on his face, waking him up. He could see Weiss's face was flushed but worried.

Weiss: Don't even think about closing those beautiful eyes of yours in a situation like this! I swear, if we get out of this, I'll marry you, you adorable idiot!

Jaune blushed but let out a small laugh, heard his scroll beep, and saw that his aura level was stabilizing. He then stood up and extended his hand to Weiss.

Jaune: Hehe, we have a deal then, my snow angel...

For day 7 and the conclusion of 2026's White Knight Week, I've created this little meme comic for the 'Confession/Near Death Experience' theme. Weiss really knows what she wants after everything that happened in the show, and she's not going to let a moment go to waste! If you ever feel like following up on this year's prompts, don't feel like you missed out, time is an illusion! You can draw and write whenever you wish!

Started putting this one together as the year began. Really wanted to take advantage of the renders I'd been making of Ice Queendom. Just a fun little time traveler Weiss meme inspired in part by Mallobaude's own redo meme series and his Stardust Valley.

Figured out how to do gradients while making this edit, it's actually super easy on my software! And I drew Jaune's hands and lower body for that last panel, I think they turned out very well.

If compression has destroyed the fanfic by Brew-tea-ful Kat on Weiss's scroll, allow me to add its little blurb here.

Redo of the Snow Angel

Jaune and Weiss love each other. They go on dates and cuddly wuddly. They may have even held hands, uwu. They got married and lived happily ever after.

Fin.

I really do like the concept here. Always a fan of time travel. And Weiss was definitely a big fangirl of the Rusted Knight fairy tales. I even made a meme comic in the past where Winter has got her the latest book of the Rusted Knight series, and they're going to read it together like it was the release of a Harry Potter book. And now Weiss gets to live out all her fantasies. Plus, now Weiss knows how good a guy Jaune actually is.

"Twilight Communion"

"Jaune, I have realised that I have developed romantic feelings towards you".

At the start of RWBY, Weiss is shown to be a combative and prickly girl, who only is able to come to terms with others after some time together. She gradually outgrows this to become a more open and genuine person over time, but from the outset, you wouldn’t necessarily think she was someone who would let themselves be on the back step, period. But, just like we see Weiss’s true self and values beneath her frosty veneer, we also gradually learn within RWBY that Weiss is harboring some forms of trauma that affect her quite deeply.

During Volume 5, when Weiss is talking with Yang about their respective family situations, she admits that she has known that her father had no real love for her or her mother since she was 10 years old. Furthermore, her mother receded from the family life following this to become an alcoholic and constant stress from SDC and other factors may have led her father to be outright hostile, if not directly abusive, to her.

So what was the overall effect then? Ultimately, it appears as if Weiss developed conflict avoidance and reactionary fearful behaviors to get past the abuse she was subjected to.

For instance, in Volume 4, after we see Jacques slap her (the first true confirmation of physical abuse) for her accidental summoning incident, we also see several instances of Weiss flinching back from Jacques or her body automatically acting to defend herself. But this is not at all isolated only to Jacques, as integral as he likely was to her trauma.

In V5, when Yang gets upset with Raven, she makes violent gestures at Raven and yet Weiss herself flinches downwards and even fully closes her eyes for a second. This indicates that even a trusted friend bordering on family like Yang is to Weiss isn’t an exception from her trauma based responses.

These responses continue to be present throughout the volumes following the Fall of Beacon. For instance, in V6, upon witnessing Ozma and Salem violently fight to the death (and even likely kill their children in the crossfire), she puts her arms up in total fear, almost as if trying to make a physical barrier between herself and them. This fearful gesture/reaction is a reoccurring sign of her trauma just as her flinching back in each instance is.

We see it when team RWBY are confronting Ironwood, Weiss raising her arm to shield herself as soon as he gets up from the chair angrily and begins ranting.

We see it again when Weiss is confronted by May Marigold, even including Weiss clutching her arm in utter stress from the confrontation and as a way to “brace herself” from the violence.

Most surprisingly, we even see Weiss display this fearful physical tendency towards her very own partner Ruby when Ruby snaps during V9. Weiss clearly trying to protect herself physically from Ruby even if we all know Ruby would never harm a hair on Weiss’s head.

These reactions are omnipresent in these types of conflicts and very telling for what type of trauma Weiss has…but what if I were to tell you that there was one noticeable exception to this? And that’s how Weiss responds to Jaune in these instances.

For instance, during V6 when Jaune snaps towards Oscar and approaches him aggressively, Weiss does not back away from Jaune or hold herself defensively, instead she visibly tries to approach him and touch him despite the clear violence from him. This is completely at odds with how Weiss normally behaves in these sorts of situations. And this isn’t the only time!

When Jaune snaps back at Ruby for mocking the Paper Pleasers in V9, Weiss doesn’t shy away from him like she shied away from Ruby, she approaches and calms him immediately where nobody else could. Not only does this show how much of an impact Weiss has on Jaune himself, but its clear evidence once again that Weiss, for some reason, does not have these defensive trauma-related tendencies for Jaune.

Naturally this begs the question: why is this the case only with Jaune so far? And I think we can find our answer in Weiss and Jaune’s interactions in V2 and V5. Namely, the impact of the dance and Jaune unlocking his semblance to save her life.

Following the Vytal dance, Weiss first truly learns what exists at the core of Jaune’s character, which is a friend who selflessly cares for her and is interested in her for, well, herself. This seems to produce mixed feelings in her at the time but it likely set the point in her mind that Jaune is someone who can maybe be trusted implicitly, someone she can rely on and who will always care for her.

And naturally, when Jaune shows that he cares for her so deeply and fundamentally that he unlocks the crux of his soul to save her life, this idea likely completely solidified in her mind. That Jaune truly, selflessly cared for her for who she was. That Jaune could be trusted no matter what. That Jaune would never harm her. That Jaune was, in other words, implicitly (brave and) good.

Therefore, we have the answer to our question: Weiss doesn’t have these sorts of responses to Jaune because she doesn’t implicitly believe he could ever bring harm upon her.  Weiss, by showing off this exception for Jaune and only Jaune (so far), verifies her words from V9 in believing in the inherent “goodness” of Jaune, something she can’t show for seemingly almost anyone else. It’s very telling that Jaune seems to hold this special place for her alone as well!

Also have a video compilation below of the scenes I mention in question so you can see for yourself the differences in reactions here for Weiss.

I would directly compare that type of messaging/animation to how CRWBY clearly emphasized in V7 that BB would happen, showing Blake and Yang awkwardly blushing at each other and flirting and other characters noting their reactions to each other now. All of this happens for the two of them in V9 as well.

Funny enough as well, not the only time that not enough focus in animation for the actual scene excluded something White Knight oriented from Weiss's perspective. Look at the scene in V6 where Weiss and Jaune reunite for instance, in the draft panels.

Deep into the night in the common area, Weiss finds herself reading the hours away. Vacou was rather peaceful at sundown; more than she expected to be. It was rather strange. Eerie even. Almost like home, only with the obvious lack of chill in the air.

Still, the atmosphere made for good reading, and dreadful for stealth. All it took was one creek of the floorboards to perk her head up. With nerves a little frazzled, Weiss put a glyph to brighten the room and reveal Jaune defensively holding a cover.

Jaune:Don’t summon! It’s me.

Weiss:…I’m gonna be honest, I don’t believe you.

Jaune:What?

He looked at the book in her hand. It looked like some sort or weird cryptid novel Ruby would read.

Jaune:Uhh Skinwalkers?

Weiss:Say something you would only know about me.

Jaune:You had a comically long fall in the Punder Storm.

Weiss:Okay, so you could’ve mentioned anything flattering and you chose that?

Jaune: My memory is kinda all over the place.

Weiss:Oh, right. Sorry.

Jaune:It’s…well it’s not fine. Definitely weird. I’m adjusting. Quick question, why are you reading horror novels out here?

Weiss:Ruby said the light and my yelps were keeping her up. You?

Jaune:It…doesn’t matter. Night.

He turns around but finds himself moving backwards as a glyph slides underneath his feet, bringing him over to the couch before spinning him back in her direction.

Weiss:Hi.

Jaune:Hello.

Weiss:You’re making that face again. The “suffering in silence” face.

Jaune:It’s really not that big of a deal.

Weiss:Then it really isn’t that bad if you share it. *closes book*

Jaune:…Sigh, my bed. It’s too soft.

Weiss:Huh? Too soft?

Jaune:In comparison to what I’m used to, yes. It makes me feel a little uncomfortable. Honestly I was gonna sleep on the floor but between the never ending grains of sand and potential scorpions, I figured the couch was my best bet.

Weiss:Oh. You can have it. I don’t mind.

Jaune:I don’t want to interrupt your reading.

Weiss:It’s more of a distraction. I can’t sleep either. Hehe, perhaps I’m missing a softer bed? Looks like I’m still an elite deep down. A smidge of Atlas comfort and it undos months of roughing it.

Jaune:Heh. You’ll find your groove again. You…wanna try taking my bed?

Weiss:Depends. How is it having a room with Yang and Blake to the left, while Ren and Nora are on the right.

Jaune:I’m gonna be honest. Worst floor plan we ever agreed on

Weiss:Yeah I’ll pass.

Jaune:I don’t blame you.

Weiss:Would you…like to share the couch?

Jaune:*red*!?

Weiss:*red* Listen, it’s not like I take up much space. As long as you don’t roll over and crush me, it should be fine.

Jaune:You…really don’t mind? I don’t doubt we can both fit. Still, it will be a little snug.

Weiss:Heh, I know you mentioned hazy memories, but if I recall correctly, once upon a time, you boldly entered my personal space on numerous occasions.

Jaune:Unfortunately I remember that constantly…

The huntress giggled as she watched him cringe. With nothing else to say, Weiss got up and gestured for him to take is spot on the couch.

Jaune caved in, lying down and fanning out the blanket to cover his body. In his head, he had assumed Weiss was going to take the other end of the couch. To his surprise, she lifted the cover by his chest and made her way inside. Even with low light, he could see the tiny of pink on her face as she chose to rest her head against his chest.

Hearing his heartbeat quicken made her smile. Perhaps Weiss was being too forward. She didn’t want him uncomfortable, and yet, she found herself not sensing the eerie feeling anymore.

Weiss:Is this okay?

Jaune:Y-Yea. I just…thought you were going to keep reading.

Weiss:I thought about it. I like this more. Dare I say it’s more comfortable than my bed.

Jaune:…I feel the same.

Weiss:Ah, that’s…that’s good. I’m glad.

The smile in her voice made his arm hold her a little closer, flustering Weiss as she closed her eyes. It wasn’t long before Jaune did the same. Suddenly, sleeping didn’t seem so difficult anymore.

xxxxxxx

Jaune and Weiss:Zzzzzz

Yang:*taking pictures*

Blake:She’s going to kill you.

Yang:It’s worth it.

Nora:Who would’ve guessed?

Ren:Me.

Ruby:I’m just happy they’re faster than you guys…

Yang:I mean if we’re starting from the day we all met.

Blake and Nora:Let’s not.

Day 7: Confession/Near Death Experience

(Continued from Day 6)

“Jaune, may I make a confession?”

“Weiss, my sun, my moon, my starlit sky. It’s been three days since your brother’s wedding. My beard WILL grow back.” Jaune said looking down at his wife.

“Should we survive,” she replied matter of factly.

“Yes dear, should we survive.” Just as the words left his mouth a sound they both feared above all others…

“SAL…”

“U…”

“TATIONS!”

Penny Polendina-Arc would have probably crashed through the door had Weiss not opened it before the ‘el’ sound had finished on the first syllable of her usual greeting.

Even braced and Aura at max, Penny impacted him with enough force to slide Jaune halfway down the hall. Her following hug flared his Aura and lifted him off his feet completely.

“I’ve missed you father, Mantle is too far away from here,” she cried out as she squeezed harder until his Aura shattered.

“Penny, that’s enough. Let your father go.” Weiss said with a fondness that belied the stern words.

“Apologies step-mother, my excitement got the better of me. Also congratulations!” Penny proceeded to hug Weiss much gentler than Jaune.

“On the house?” Weiss asked.

“On the baby. I cannot wait to be a big sister!” Penny said completely missing Weiss’s look of shock.

“Penny?”

“Yes father?”

“What baby?”

Penny blinked at him a few times, “… oh. You didn’t know.”

“What baby?” Jaune asked again in the same tone and cadence.

“Jaune, please amp your Aura and bring me my scroll.” Weiss said as she took Penny’s hand in hers and led her to the living room.

“Will you be making father regrow his beard?” Penny asked as they took a seat. Weiss simply nodded yes. Penny looked around nervously before asking, “step-mother…do I have a…room here.”

Weiss’s look turned from dumbfounded to concerned. She and Jaune had discussed it but hadn’t made any permanent decisions yet; but now was obviously the time to make that decision.

“Penny, I need your help with something,” Weiss began speaking and warmed up to the subject immediately. “There are three rooms here that are currently unoccupied. You will get first choice as Jaune’s eldest, of course, but will you help me choose which should be the nursery and which should be the guest room?”

Penny saluted excitedly. “I am design ready.”

Jaune found the two looking at the floor plan for the house discussing the ins and outs of who should be near who. As he handed Weiss her scroll Penny scooted over to let him sit between them. Shortly after Ren arrived took one hard look at Weiss and nodded once.

“You didn’t believe me?” Penny asked sounding hurt.

“Of course we did sweetie but too many years as full time Hunters means we trust…” Jaune started.

“…but verify,” Weiss finished.

“Okay,” Penny said still looking a little crestfallen.

“Penny, Nora is watching that new movie about the three Mistrailian Huntresses that kill Grimm by singing at them…again. Have you seen it yet?” Ren asked her.

“No Uncle Ren, I have not. Could I watch it with her father?”

“Of course, Nora would love to have someone else to watch it with.”

“And are you satisfied with the room plans step-mother?”

“They’re practically perfect Penny. Go have fun.” Weiss answered.

Penny left to go next door. Ren fixed three teas and sat down. “So the researchers haven’t been able to find the bugs in her program?”

“No, and I’ve been thinking. Doctor Poledina knew that even with me boosting him that he may not survive making another Penny. I don’t think I believe this is a programming bug. I think it was either deliberate, or it’s just her sweet innocent soul latching on to me so that her world makes sense.” Jaune paused to take a sip of his tea. Not recognizing it he gave Ren a look.

“Noncaffeinated. It would be unfair to your wife.”

“Ha!” said wife exclaimed with a superior look.

“Honey?”

“No it’s sweet enough Jaune.”

“Not what I meant.”

“I know, but quick question.”

“Can Penny stay?” The couple managed to ask at the same time. When they realized what they had done they both smiled at the other.

“Jinx,” Ren deadpanned before taking another sip.

—————

Before the week had ended Penny’s room was set up and furniture for the nursery, which would be next door to her and across the hall from her parents, was on order. But NOT by Weiss. After the mattress and the outfit incidents; she was banned from ordering anything online.

The pregnancy was going really well so far and she was currently eating lunch and singing softly to herself.

“We’re going hmm, hmm, hmm,

Just remember

Hmm hmmhmmhmm deliver

We’re gonna be, gonna be silver, oh oh OH! I wonder if Ruby’s heard that song yet? The reference to silver can’t be a coincidence.” She made a note to call her partner and ask as she looked out the window at her husband and daughter. That had been Weiss’s only stipulation in any of this; that the word “step” was dropped from her title. The two were building the fence that would be the starting corral for their livestock. For shortly after Jaune had politely but firmly told the Mantlese scientists that came to take Penny with them to “fuck off, this is her home,” Juniper had appeared with a small fluffle of jackalopes. Enough to start breeding them for Huntressmen mounts, but that was gonna take a lot of hard work. Putting her hand on her stomache she knew this was the life she wanted.

—————

And done! Hope my fellow WK lovers approve, and thanks to everyone who read it.

*Jaune sleeping on the couch*

Weiss: *I'm going to cuddle up to him... He'll be so flustered... Lays down with him gently so he stays asleep*

Jaune: *wraps her up and rolls her over in his sleep and holds her close*

Weiss: *incredibly flustered*

Jaune: *moans without waking up* Weiss... You smell so...

[apartment]

Weiss:*texting*….

Jaune:*slowly opens door*

Weiss:Hmm?

……..

Weiss:Hello? Jaune?

Jaune:*slowly peeks in* Hey.

Weiss:What the- why are you being weird. I thought someone was about to break in. How was your hair appoint-

He opens the door fully, revealing the pure white hair devoid of any blonde.

Weiss:…..

Jaune:So don’t freak out.

Weiss:WHAT HAPPENED!?

Jaune:I MISSED UP! I told them I wanted something like my natural color!

Weiss:And they thought the blonde was fake?

Jaune:….

Weiss:..Pffft HAHAHA! AHAHAHA!

Jaune:Well I’m glad one of us is having fun!

Weiss:Did you not look at the bottle they were using!?

Jaune:I don’t know the fancy names they use for hair color! By the time I realized they weren’t bleaching it first, they were practically done.

Weiss:I don’t go with you to the salon and this happens? You paid for them to do your hair wrong.

Jaune:I think the shock of my face earned me a discount.

Weiss:Well on the bright side, it doesn’t look bad on you. It kinda reminds me of grandpa.

Jaune:That’s the last thing I needed to hear.

Weiss:Relax.

She walks over to get a good look. Weiss had to admit he pulled it off. It didn’t look damaged either.

Weiss:At least they did a good job. I’ll yell at them less when I make my way up there. Come think of it…since I booked it, maybe they thought you were Whitley? Or a family member in general.

Jaune:What I’m hearing is I should’ve been in the broadcast message with Ruby. I know I’m not the most recognizable person but this hurts.

Weiss:Regardless, you’re gonna have to rock the look for a while. Swapping back too fast is gonna kill your hair. Especially in this heat.

Utterly defeated, Jaune hobbles over to the couch and collapses. Weiss would’ve never thought he’d react this poorly. Then again, he’d gone there to specifically remove his white undertones. If it was any other color he’d probably live with it.

Weiss:…I’m stepping out for a while. Are you going to be okay.

Jaune:Yeeesss.

Weiss:Alright then. No midlife crisis until I get back. *closes door*

xxxxxxx

About two hours passed before Jaune hears the door open again. The familiar clacking of heels stops him from removing his face from the cushions. Even when the sound traveled right in front of him.

Weiss:Hey, Snow Angel.

Jaune:Heh, very funny. *turns head* I might deserve th-

His brain lagged just like hers did when he first walked in. Weiss didn’t return the way she left. The dazzling white hair her family was known for had been replaced with a pale, golden shine of what had been looking for. The girl smiled as she reached into a bag and pulled out the color he was looking for.

Weiss:Your color is Crocea. In hindsight, we both probably should know that by heart. Especially you. Well? What do you think? *flips hair* Yang isn’t the only one who can pull off blonde.

Jaune:I am….so conflicted.

Weiss:Oh?

Jaune:Your gorgeous. Dare I say it’s immaculate on you.

Weiss:*red* Thank you~

Jaune:But I also think you could sneak into my family reunion like this.

Weiss:I’m invited anyways, but I see your point. Honestly though, your family doesn’t own yellow any more than my owns- well actually I’m pretty sure we could’ve own it, but that’s beside the point!

Jaune:Why did you go through with it? Knowing your eyes, you could probably tell it was the right shade with applying it.

Weiss:You’re not wrong, but you’re forgetting something. I…don’t like you feeling alone. Now if anyone asks, you didn’t make some silly mistake. We just decided to swap. That’s all. This also gives you an excuse to grow out your hair more; a style I for one find very charming.

Jaune:*smiles* Hehe, you so miss the ponytail.

Weiss:I will not argue that.

Jaune sits up and losses immediate rights to his lap. Weiss smiles proudly at him, not a hint of regret in her decisions. Such warmth and sincerity. It makes Jaune laugh at himself for being so dramatic. He gently rubs her left cheek as she leans into it before he guides her face towards his for a tender kiss. At the same moment, their door opens again.

Ruby:Yo-……*closes door*

……..

Yang:*walking up stairs* Hey, you knock yet?

Ruby:…

Yang:Ruby?

Ruby:Now I could be wrong….but him pretty sure i just saw Weiss’s brother making out with Jaune’s twin sisters.

*Weiss Schnee gazes at the cupcake with a single candle on it, the tip aflamed, while she's with her family, team, and Team JNPR*

Weiss: *mournful exhale* "I miss my cake butler."

Winter: "It's the best we can get here in Vacuo." *clears her throat* "Thanks to certain events!"

Whitley: "Look on the bright side, this is the first birthday where mother is actually sober."

Willow: *drinking grape juice* "Mhmm, it has an aftertaste, but it's bearable."

Ruby: "Plus, there are some people who don't completely hate your guts."

Irate Vacuo Citizen: *far away* "BURN IN HELL, SCHNEES!!"

Jaune: *angry* "HEY, PISS OFF, ASSHOLE!!"

Blake: "Aaaand you jinxed it, Ruby."

Nora: "I can always break his legs~."

Ren: *exhales* "Nora, we're trying to keep a tight unity here."

Ozcar: "Let's focus on Weiss' Birthday, right?"

Yang: "Yeah, it's Weisscream's B-Day! Make a wish!"

*Weiss exhales, then blows out the candle, getting applause from her loved ones*

Ruby: *claps* "WHOO!! Happy Birthday, Bestie--!!"

Weiss: *tearing up* "I wish Grandfather were alive."

Willow: *concerned* "Sweetie..."

Weiss: *sniffles* "I wish Penny survived and Cinder died!"

Nora: "No arguments on that wish."

Ren: *loudly clears his throat* "Dear, this isn't normal Birthday tradition."

Weiss: *sobs* "Oh, Brothers, I wish we didn't go through that damned plan!" *sobs again* "I WISH IT SNOWED IN THIS HELL HOLE!! I HATE VACUO!!"

Ruby: *pulls Weiss into a hug* "Hey! There, there. Let it out."

Winter: *exhales* "This birthday is on par with her tenth birthday..."

Willow: "At least that bastard is dead."

Whitley: "Sister, do you have some more wishes?"

Weiss: *pulls away from Ruby, sniffles* "I wish...I wish Jaune would get in his Rusted Knight attire and give me 'Birthday Backshots'."

Jaune: *blushes, clears his throat* "Uh, Weiss, maybe don't say it like that around your family."

Yang: "I can't believe Weiss actually said 'Birthday Backshots'."

Ruby: "I can't believe Jaune actually kept that armor and uses it for kinky sex."

(Happy Birthday Weiss!)

''Colour Exhange''

Team R(W)BY and (J)NOR were having breakfast together. The members of each team were curious about the whereabouts of their missing teammates until they saw Weiss entering the room dressed like Jaune. Jaune's armor would be too big for Weiss. Both teams were laughing until they saw Jaune entering the room wearing Weiss's dress, which would be too tight on Jaune's body, making both teams burst into laughter. However, Weiss, seeing Jaune dressed like that, would make her blush intensely.

''Girlfailure''

It would be a special day for Weiss, where she and Jaune would have their first intimate night together. They would both be almost naked, Jaune on top of Weiss, kissing her neck, and she would moan. Just as he was about to take off her bra, she would gently push him away. He would be confused by the action but would see her face completely red.

Weiss: I K-know t-today is a s-special d-day b-but before w-we s-smash, Can i explain to you the whole fnaf lore!

Jaune: I would love to hear it~

Jaune:*watching tv*

Bzzzz! Bzzzz!

Jaune:*grabs scroll* Hello-

Weiss:Uuuuuuggggghhhh!

Jaune:….So how was filling in for Whitley?

Weiss:I think I’m glad I lost the title of heir. I hate our shareholders. Who wants to talk to those people willingly!?

Jaune:To be fair I don’t think your brother has a choice in the matter. Well, your day should be almost over, right?

Weiss:Oh I’m already in the elevator of our apartment.

Jaune:Haha, then why call if I’ll see you in a minute?

Weiss:They were so annoying Jaune! I needed to hear good voices! I’m trying to shake off this negativity before I walk through the door! It was like talking to cardboard that learned how to be a wet blanket! Then one had the audacity to bring up my father! I nearly tried to fired him.

Jaune:Maybe Whitley asked you take his place while he’s on vacation so you can get rid of the problems.

Weiss:Honestly that would not surprise me in the slightest. Alright, I’m at the door. I’m gonna try to walk in with the smile.

Jaune:You can walk in a fall to your knees if you wanted. I’m not gonna blame you. Collapse on the couch and unwind.

Weiss:Don’t tempt me.

The young woman open the door, tiredly walking wearing white heels that matched her office button up jacket with black button jacket, and black skirt. The hair bun that had threatened to give her a headache for half the day was removed immediately along with her shoes. If her white tights weren’t a pain to remove she would’ve flung them off too.

As Weiss prepared the biggest sigh of her life, her eyes were treated to the sight of a perfectly clean apartment while her nose made her head turn towards the kitchen to see a simmering pot of something that made her stomach growl on instinct. Her lovely boyfriend got up from the couch a greeted her directly.

Jaune:Welcome home, Ms. CEO of SDC.

Weiss:Jaaaaaauuuuunnnneeeee! *dramatically leans against him* You’re so perfect! Oh I love you!

Jaune:I was kinda home most of the day, and I could imagine how horrible your day was. Thought I’d tidy up. No big deal.

Weiss:Do you understand how easy it would be for you to pull out a ring right now?

Jaune:You are so dramatic.

Weiss:I’m just saying you have me dead to rights. Clean home, good, corporate check, I’d say yes, and then I spectacular night? You’d organize the perfect plan that I could only respect.

Jaune:Maybe it’s you rubbing off on me, but I think I want to go a little bigger in scope. Proposing in the middle and our living room isn’t my style anymore. I unfortunately have higher standards for myself.

Weiss:Hehehe. You’re welcome. Still, this is amazing. I don’t even know what’s in that pot but I know it’s good. What’s next? Drawing me a bath?

Jaune:Do you want me to? I know where you keep the bath bombs.

Weiss:In a second I’m gonna be the one down on one knee.

Jaune:That would be a change. It’s usually both knees.

Weiss:*red* You joke but I’ll do it.

He scoops Weiss up before he can fall for her advances, earning playful “boos” as he sits her at the table and makes her Alfredo. Now she’s even happier. He puts the in front of her but she can only look at him.

Weiss:Be still my beating heart. Jaune, may I selfishly ask for two more things?

Jaune:I’m all ears.

Weiss:I haven’t kissed you yet and that feels wrong.

He bends down happily, receiving a kiss filled with joy and a smile. Weiss was practically giggling through it.

Jaune:And your second request?

Weiss:I will take that bath, but you have to join me.

Jaune:Deal.

Weiss:Hahaha! Not even the slightest hesitation. Dare I say I get how Whitley survives his days.

xxxxxx

Meanwhile on a private beach…

Whitley:*in a beach chair* Do you think Weiss is adjusting well? Maybe I should’ve called today. Can you please release my scroll!

Ruby:I could. Oooorrr…..

She grabs a smoothie poured into pineapples and adds two straws, casually putting it his hands as she straddles his lap under their beach umbrella.

Whitley:…Amazing argument. You’re absolutely right.

''Hoodies and Acts of Affection''

Winter was in her office working on her computer when she heard her scroll wheel ticking and saw it was Jaune calling her. She was confused but answered.

Winter: Hello Jaune? Is everything alright with you and Weiss?

Jaune: Oh yes, everything is great, I'm just having a slight problem and I wanted to know if you could answer me.

Winter: Okay...?

Jaune would make a video call and show that he was stuck in bed with Weiss, who was asleep and hugging him tightly while she was wearing his hoodie.

Jaune: So what do I do?! I have to leave for the mission in a few hours!!

Winter watched this and held back laughter at Jaune's situation, then she took a deep breath and looked at Jaune with a serious expression, but still suppressing her laughter.

Winter: I would recommend you let them know you won't be able to go on the mission because the last time Weiss was this comfortable, nothing could get her out of bed.

Jaune: But i need to go to the bathr-

Winter hung up the phone to start laughing and remembered little Weiss sleeping and hugging a Rusted Knight plush toy.
