@becomeshield said : "i never got a chance to tell you, everything kind of went crazy and has been going a thousand miles per hour since beacon but," he sighs, "i just wanted to say i'm sorry. for how i treated you back at school. i was stupid and desperate and i never once thought how all that ridiculous /wooing/ i tried to do made you feel. i just thought that, y'know, if i kept trying, you'd change your mind. but i never stopped to try and be your friend, first. and i'm sorry for that."
many things have been proven to be unexpected in weiss’ life ; some lingering in the past where they belong after being realized , &. some slowly being made crystalline in the present the more she &. others around her grow throughout this grueling test of strength they call a journey. jaune in this moment is no different. when they have a moments rest at saphron ‘ s homestead , weiss can be found bundled up in front of the fireplace , heavy lids falling over baby blues &. crown of tundra locks dipping until familiarity calls her name &. calls her elsewhere. ( though not without a grumpy / child - like mumble as she follows behind. ) what could he possibly wish to tell her that he couldn ‘ t say in front of the rest of their team mates ? is it really that important ? weiss wonders if it ‘ s to simply discuss her role in the crazy plan thought up by an even crazier mind , even going so far as to open her mouth &. carry the beginnings of a speech on silver forged tongue , but when jaune speaks , it ‘ s as though vocals are strangled in the back of throat. breathless. ‘ i ‘ m sorry ‘ , he says , followed by explanation that makes something foreign pool in pits of gut.
golden boy certainly wouldn ‘ t have been the first to make such flamboyant ( &. equal parts annoying ) displays for her affections , acting out as though schnee girl was a mere prize &. wanting her for the bragging rights &. social uprise that anyone craves like something sweet &. addictive. it ‘ s nice to be wanted , sure , but not like that. not to benefit one rather than both. a younger , more spiteful weiss would have surely treated this sudden confessional with naught but an annoyance spawned groan &. a twirl of petite frame so dramatic her ponytail would smack jaune right in the face , but instead she ‘ s listening closely , breaking down each syllable , analyzing them as though her life depends on it. daint fingers curl into fabrics of skirt so racing heartbeat may be eased with the distraction. inhale. exhale.
❛ you were intolerable. &. you made my blood boil more than anyone has ever manged &. every time you so much as breathed in my direction i wanted to scream , but -- i ‘ m proud of you for this. &. i accept your apology. ❜ more so than she ‘ s letting on , actually. no one has ever made an effort to appease their wrongs to her like this , like she ‘ s worth the kind &. heartfelt words. if jaune were to look closely , he could see the faintest of smiles upcurling edges of peach tiers , wilting ever slightly as diamond gaze averts to the side in her own shame. she ‘ s not innocent in any of this either ; she ‘ s spat her fair share of venom &. frost in his direction plenty of times , none of it justified despite her past frustrations. ❛ i think . . . i owe you an apology , too , actually. i was rude &. spiteful &. neither my past or upbringing could ever justify how mean i was to you back then. &. i ‘ m sorry. ❜ this is a first , no ? admitting her faults &. swallowing the pride that radiates so brightly within regal veins. how unheard of. this definitely isn ‘ t the boy she first encountered at beacon anymore , is it ? the aura around him is mature , like freshly polished gold shining in all its valiant radiance. she ‘ s proud. so proud.
❛ . . . we were both pretty awful , weren ‘ t we ? like stupid kids. i ‘ ll make it up to you after this is all over. ❜ &. that ‘ s a promise.
