Long Overdue || theloneliestsnowflake
@theloneliestsnowflake || [[Because I had an idea]] [[And I apologize for not asking first but either which way I wanted to write this out]] [[Set During Volume 3 probably or at the very least after the Dance.]]
Jaune kicked at his sneaker nervously before looking back up at her.
“...I wanted to apologize.”
He’d run into her at the festival grounds as they were being set up. It was one of those rare moments nothing was exploding and neither of them was rushing off somewhere.
“For how I’ve been. Since basically the first day we met.”
It was possible during the brief break he’d gone home to visit his family for a little while. And more then one of his sister’s may have set him straight about his prior behavior by reframing it.
And he’d been rethinking over a lot of things since the dance and the days leading up to it anyway. And he was trying to learn from the last school year, and improve upon himself.
And one of those things he needed to make right was an apology.
“I-should have just caught on right away and accepted that you weren’t into me. I was really out of line. Part of it is I’m not the sharpest tool in the shed, but there was also denial involved I guess.”
“its been since pointed out to me ‘tall blonde and scraggly’ that first day was sarcasm, and I really should have caught onto that? I mean you didn’t actually respond positively after that. I just-” Jaune stopped himself, returning to the point.
“Yeah. I’m sorry about all that. I’m...going to avoid bothering you in the future. I mean not like oh hey I’ll ignore you because that would be rude? But actively going out of the way to-”
Jaune winced.
“I should shut up. I’m sorry. That’s the long story short. I’m sorry about how I’ve behaved towards you.”
