White Knight Week Day 2: Mature~
It was an average late night in Argus. At least it should’ve been. What started as a fun outing with friends quickly turned into a loud night the moment team FNKI arrived at a local club. Now normally, Weiss considered herself a woman immune to peer pressure, yet somehow Neon knew how to worm her way under Weiss’s skin; the end result of that being more than a little tipsy. In her defense, Weiss was still clever enough to know when enough was enough. Jaune on the other hand…was a victim of both Neon and Nora hyping him up.
What was once a proud standing man was tilted over on Weiss as she walked both of them into their apartment at a snail’s pace. Not exactly how Weiss wanted to end her night. To make things weirder, the bubbly and happy Jaune at the club had vanished into a sniffling one half way through the journey home.
Weiss:Hold on. We’re almost there.
Weiss:You keep saying that but not explaining why.
Weiss:Yeah that sounds about right.
Step by step, Weiss was somehow making up the stairs to his bedroom. Honestly she knew she was drunk because there was no reason not to toss him in the sofa! Neon shall pay for this!
Weiss:Yep. It’s me…hanging in there?
Jaune:I’m hic drunk. You…hate drunks. So you hate me now.
Weiss:I don’t hate you Jaune .
Jaune:Sounds like what a secret hater would say.
Weiss:I hate loud and ridiculous group of random people. I will never hate you. Did you have fun?
Weiss:Then that’s all that matters. Just…maybe we both stop after three shots next time?
Jaune:Kay~ you’re wonderful.
Jaune:Perfect. So perfect it’s crazy.
After the long journey down the hall, they finally made it to Jaune’s room. Weiss carefully helped the man twice her size lay down on his side. As she went to step away, his arm wrapped around the back of her thighs. She would be lying if she said that his nerdiness for her right now wasn’t cute. His flushed skin and the way his eyes could only gaze at her directly for seconds at a time was winning her heart more than he already had. Weiss sat right by him, giving Jaune the perfect opportunity to rest his face in her lap, face pressed softly into her dress.
Weiss:He’s like a Labrador.
Weiss:Hmm? What does? Your stomach?
Jaune:No. My heart, it hurts. That’s how much I love you. That’s how much I…want you. All of you.
Weiss:*clutches necklace* H-Huh!? Y-You’re drunk!
Jaune:That just means I’m speaking the truth. Weiss you’re so…everything to me; but I don’t know of you want all of me. If I’m…you’re everything. *glances up* Do you want me?
Her face could probably cook an egg right now. Weiss could feel the flutters of her heart disturbe her breathing. Jaune’s head rose from her lap, eyes begging for an answer in a way that tore down years of defenses. His lips grew close enough to smell the bourbon. Weiss was never understood how people could taste such a drink, yet…now not only did it grace her lips, but she made sure its notes rested on her tongue. Fingers wrinkled the blonde’s shirt and kept his from slipping away too soon. It took everything in Weiss’s power not to lean forward. Just a little tilt in weight and they’d both tip over a ledge where there was no going back. After savoring a few more precious seconds of, the angel denied herself the moment, gently pushing Jaune away.
He looked into her eyes, wanting yet hesitant. Guilty even. That was all it took for him to return back to her lap, hiding his flustered face in embarrassment.
Weiss:I’m the one who should be sorry. It’s not that I don’t want to. Gods, it’s certainly not that. But…this should be done sober.
Jaune:I knooooooow. Mmmmmnng.
Weiss:…If you by some chance remember this tomorrow, we’ll talk about it then, okay?
Jaune:Is it okay if you stay in bed with me? Just…a little longer.
He didn’t have to ask for that. Weiss laid down properly next to him, guiding his arm around her torso and bringing his head into her embrace. She could feel how he brought her in closer, every muscle relaxing alongside his breathing. For the first time in Weiss’s life, she was annoyed at herself for not drinking a little more.
Morning came and a slight headache with it for Jaune. Next time he knew not to lesson to Yang on the choice of drink. Now the trip downstairs felt long and shameful, but strangely sweet? It was only after reaching the bottom did he understand it was because there was a plate of waffles and juice waiting for him. More surprisingly, there was Weiss in an apron. She turned around with a bowl of grits, not surprised in the slightest to see him as she put it in the breakfast bar with the rest of the food as he sat down.
Jaune:I…didn’t know you can make waffles.
Weiss:I can’t. The waffle maker can. Poured instant mix. Just like how I poured water onto dry grained and put it in the microwave.
Jaune:So what you’re saying is I should invest in a rice cooker?
Jaune:Hehe. Thank you for all this. And the medicine on my nightstand. I can do the dishes.
Weiss:Don’t sweat it. It’s barely a mess. Also thank Nora for the meds. She stopped by earlier. I think she felt a little guilty seeing the state we left in.
Jaune:Not my finest hour.
Weiss:But maybe your “happiest”
He couldn’t help but chuckle before eating his waffles. Mentally, he wanted to hit himself. He watched as Weiss went about tidying up, seemingly normal. Jaune could remember how he got into bed, and what happened before sleeping. The question is should he really bring it up? It looks like Weiss wasn’t going to. Maybe it was best to let it go?
His gaze lingered on her as he ate. As she turned around to grab a wipe, their eyes met for barely a second before her head whipped around again. Jaune could’ve blamed his imagination if it wasn’t for the tips of Weiss’s ears burning red through strands of hair.
Jaune:I…remember last night, before bed.
Jaune:…It’s my fault. I’m sorry I put you in an awkward-
Weiss:Do you have a hangover?
Weiss:A hangover. Any morning sickness or nausea?
Weiss:Good. That’s good. Then…when you’re done eating, you can come to my room. *bright red* So I can have all of you.
Weiss took off the apron and kept her head down as she walked off to the stairs. She made it about three steps before feeling a hand suddenly hold her wrist, making her jolt. Nobody moved for what felt like eternity before Weiss found the resolve to turn her head. Once again, she found her nose tickled by Jaune’s breathing. Even with syrup, the subtle taste of last night hadn’t completely faded. Funnily enough, Weiss didn’t dislike that fact. Jaune’s arms returned to hold her frame, the way he pulled her in made it all but impossible to not wrap her limbs around him as he carried her up stairs. Flustered and annoyed, Weiss looked at him with baiting breath.
Weiss:Why do you listen better drunk? I want you to eat, you dolt.
Jaune:It’s not going anywhere.
Jaune:I know, but I really don’t think I can wait any longer for this.
She could only sigh, cradling his face and stealing his lips once more. He really was needy, but hey, so was she. He chose to follow her, and Weiss couldn’t think of a single reason to not let him. After all, clearly it wasn’t the drinks driving them crazy.
