Apologising doesn’t always mean that you’re wrong and the other person is right. It just means that you value your relationship

April 30th: Apology
Baby: Day 2 of 9 Days of Lancaster
Ruby and Jaune watch over Adrian by Saphron and Terra. For a whole day Ruby and Jaune Palayed with them. Now at night Adrian fell asleep.
Ruby: Awwww, You look so cute when you asleep *Ruby watch Adrian asleep on his baby cradle* You look so defenseless, so cute.
Jaune: Leave him to sleep Ruby let’s not disturb him okay. He’s probably tired.
Ruby: aww, Jaune I want one of our own.
Jaune: Ummm, Ruby? What do you mean one of our own?
Ruby: *Realizing what she said* Oh Nothing!! Forget what I said. *She leaves the room as red as her hoodie.
Jaune: *Giggles* One day Ruby, we’ll have one of our own. *He said in a small voice*
Promise.
No Fall AU. Fourth year.
*Dimension 52*
.

"I promise Ruby on my name and life as an Arc you'll get that dance!
Ruby sighed for the umpteenth time as the music blared in the background students all around her were dancing and having a good time.
"He'll be here Rubes" Ruby looked up and saw her sister Yang, and the rest of her team along with Team JNPR minus its leader.
"Yeah ruby Jaune-Jaune will be here he promised!" Said Nora handing Ruby some punch.
Blake put a hand on her shoulder.
"Has he ever broken a promise too you?" She said and Ruby shook her head and looked at the clock and looked down at her red dress and evil lady stil-heels.
9:00pm
The dance was almost over.
Where is he?
Yang watched her sister sit in her chair away from the crowd upset.
"Where the hell is vomit boy?!" She said and Weiss nodded while looking at her scroll trying to get ahold of junipers leader. They all did Jaune had said he was going into Vale to get nice suit for his date/dance.
"It shouldn't have taken long...you don't think he is standing her up do you?" Blake asked
"Jaune isn't like that he made a promise...and you know how he is on promises especially ones to Ruby" Weiss said defending the knight. Over the course of the school years Jaune had earned her respect for all his hard work he put on at Beacon.
"Then where is he!?" Yang said eyes going red and kicked the railing as silence fell amongst the group.
-
From another side of the auditorium Glynda and Ozpin looked on seeing everyone having a good time well...not everyone.
"It would seem that...not everyone is enjoying themselves" said Ozpin as he eyed the Rose girl sitting in her chair, the red dress clashing with the white seats.
"Ah yes...miss Rose...apparently Jaune Arc was her date no?" Glynda asked to which Ozpin nodded.
"Perhaps Mr. Arc had second doubts?" She asked and Ozpin sighed.
"I don't think he would be the type...we've seen how far he'd go for people" Ozpin said as he recalled moments over of all Jaune's deeds he's ever done for him and many of the faculty members.
Suddenly a buzzing sound came from his scroll.
Pulling it out he looks to find an incoming call from...
"The Vale General Hospital?"
-
It was now 10:30.
The dance was 30 mins from being over and still no Jaune Arc.
No calls or texts.
No one could get ahold of the arc knight.
"I'm so sorry Ruby" came the voice of her sister as she came to comfort her.
"Sigh it's alright...I...I didn't expect him to break his promise though...sure we had a fight a few weeks back" Ruby said tears pooling in her eyes.
" I love him...I really love Jaune and he said he loved me...so why isn't he here" to which Yang just hugged her sister tightly as the DJ announced it was now time for the last slow songs of the night.
-
"This isn't like our fearless leader Ren!" Nora said as she took a sip of her drink.
Weiss was still working on trying to get ahold of the dolt but still so far nothing. No one had been able to get ahold of Jaune.
Suddenly Weiss scroll beeped and her screen came to life with 'Breaking News'
"Guys come look" She said to Ren, Nora, Pyrrha and Blake as they all gathered around to see a special news report.
"This is Lisa Lavender coming with you live on the scene from downtown vale where a explosion had just taken place just a few minutes ago" said the reporter as fire and smoke were present in the background as fire fighters came storming by.
"The explosion came during a conflict with a hostage situation involving 3 armed suspects in this building or what is left of the building before it toppled down"
"The three suspects before detonating the explosion were confronted by one individual but we are getting reports that he was a Beacon student" The moment she uttered those words everyone began to have a sinking feeling in the pit of their stomachs.
"We do have video footage of the matter just before the building collapse from a near by cctv camera" she said before cutting to the video and their everyone's heart sank.
Their was Jaune, shield up and sword in hand dressed in his unbuttoned dress shirt and tux as the three individuals just looked on before pressing what looks like a button suddenly an explosion happened which showed Jaune was only knocked backwards a few feet before getting up, he looked to his right for some reason.
The camera picked up on his body glowing before the camera angle changed as suddenly a young woman was shown in the wreckage of the explosion crying out for help.
Every one was silent fear in the pit of their stomachs as they saw Jaune come to the ladies rescue able to get all the rock and debris out of the way before trying to get her somewhat stable to remove her from the situation.
Suddenly he looked up behind him as his body glowed again and he raised his shield up before suddenly mountains of rubble came crashing the CCTV cut off.
"We have reports that the lady in question after the rubble was cleared is okay! Though we do not know the status of the Beacon student in question as he neglected treatment before leaving..."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Jaune was alive but they also realized that was why Jaune was late it was because-
"Renny look! Fearless leader!" Nora shouted in excitement as she took off with Ren and Pyrrha in tow.
Weiss immediately ran to the railing as their at the entrance was a clean, safe and alive Jaune Arc..
She looked on as Jaune rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment before Pyrrha pointed to all the way to the dance floor where the lonesome Ruby awaited.
Weiss sighed before sitting back down.
All would be well after, Arc kept his word.
-
10:45pm
He really wasn't gonna come was he...
He really was gonna break his promise....
He -
"At the special request we are now going to play a special song before tonight's end"
*play whatever special slow song you'd think Ruby and Jaune would dance to*
Ruby's eyes widened that was her's and Jaune's song but wait...
"Hey craterface..." She heard his voice as suddenly the dancefloor that had many people dancing started to thin out before finally only one person was standing their.
Jaune Arc looked at her as she stood up from her chair.
Jaune looked to his right to see Yang giving him a thumbs up of approval, he nodded before wincing a bit as he walked forward.
Ruby started walking towards him...meeting him halfway before finally they were feet apart.
"Hey..."
"Hey..."
"I'm sorry I'm late...I didn't mean to make you think I was gonna stand you up...something happened in vale took longer then I expected" Jaune said to which Ruby shook her head before reaching in and giving him a hug.
"Your here...thats what matters...its our final Beacon dance and I wanted it to be with you" She said nuzzling into his chest as Jaune chuckled.
"Then would this lovely rose accompany me to our final dance of the night?" He asked to which he felt Ruby nod as they began to sway to the sound of music.
-
Weiss joined the others as they stared at the last two on the dance floor.
"So vomit boy tanked a building falling on him while saving someone...to think I couldn't get more impressed" Yang said as she was caught up to speed on why Jaune was late.
"That's our fearless leader alright a true knight in shining armour!" Nora said happily as Ren hugged Nora as Pyrrha and Blake all looked on in happiness.
Weiss scroll rang again and she pulled it out.
It was a call from the headmaster? That got everyone's attention.
"Hello? Headmaster how can I help you?"
Before she could get an answer a scream rang out and everyone turned back to the dance floor.
-
"Glynda we must getJaune Arc immediately!"
Ozpin put away his scroll as Glynda looked at him confused.
"That boy was in a serious situation and no doubt its on the news by now but he refused help" He said as Glynda got up from her seat.
"His aura probably healed whatever damages he sustained" She tried to deduced as Ozpin shook his head.
"The young women he saved came in on the call from the General Hospital explained that he shielded her from the debris using his aura" his voice grim as he tried began scrolling in his contacts for Weiss Schnee.
"So then he is fine right? His aura saved her and him" to which Ozpin shook his head.
"His aura didn't stop everything...when the women came too she saw Jaune with a piece of-"
"Hello? Headmaster how may I help you?"
"Weiss it's of the utmost urgency yiu get to Jaune Arc and get Aura into his system now-"
But was cut off as a screamed pierced the auditorium.
-
The song played as they continued dancing.
Ruby was happy...it was everything she wanted she looked up and saw Jaune smiling down at her with tear blue eyes. It wasn't long before Jaune tilted his head down to her and she met him halfway before their lips met in a electric kiss.
Euphoria was all Ruby felt as she finally separated from the kiss and continued their dance.
"So how was that Vomit boy"
"Heh...it was...to die for" he said to her as he kept dancing as once again they tuned the world out.
Unbeknownst to Ruby...Jaune glowed brightly before his aura slowly started to shimmer away.
It wasn't a few more minutes before the song came to an end and they both stopped but continued hugging each other.
"I love you Jaune Arc...thank you for keeping your promise" Ruby said her arms still wrapped around his chest.
But Jaune said nothing.
"Hey...how about we go back to your room hmm cuddles and such?"
Jaune still said nothing and suddenly Jaune decided to lean against her becoming surprisingly heavier.
"Hey Vomitboy your too heavy for these lady stilt" She laughed but still Jaune was unresponsive and her hand started to get wet.
"Jeez Jaune were you sweating this dance your whole back is all...wet?" She looked at her right hand from behind him to find it was not sweat...but blood.
"Jaune..." she pulled her head back to look at his face and all she saw was lifeless blue eyes looking at her in a sad smile as he finally got to heavy and they both fell to the ground.
Ruby looked at him frightful as his he was facedown as blood began to pool out, soaking his tux and the dance floor.
Ruby began hyperventilating and the world seemed to slow down as she looked on at the love of her life laying down in his blood.
It was too much.
Ruby screamed.
"I promise Ruby on my name and life as an Arc you'll get that dance!"
For the 9 days of Lancaster.
Enjoy.

As soon as he heard those words come out of Ruby’s mouth, Jaune felt his heart sink.

Something a bit different from my normal postings, in that it’s actually a full fanfic mvbkvjhg- Also it’s Lancaster as opposed to N&D but that’s a whole thing else.

It’s 9 Days of Lancaster time and luckily a short I wrote ages ago fits today’s theme so repost time hooray.

Jaune and Ruby are two estranged huntsmen who meet in Argus. They realize they like each other but have been burned by romance like this before. Love always seems imperfect. Nothing like the stories tell. Because the longer you're with someone, the more of their flaws are revealed. Even your own.
So they make a deal. Let love, for this week, be perfect. Give each other a memory that will last forever just like in every fairy tale romance. And when the week is done, go home and don't turn back.
