Chapter 4

Weiss was not of the happiness about what Jaune said, it made her take a good look at herself. She found out that she was a cold woman.

'He didn't have to point it out like that! And how does he know Winter?' She thought. Just then her scroll rang, it was Winter.

"Hello?"

[Weiss, have you met a young man named Jaune Arc?] Asked Winter, Weiss paled.

"Um, Jaune Arc?" She stammered, "what about him?"

[Well, he had saved my life and I was wondering if you had seen him?]

"He saved your life?"

[Yeah, you don't remember? He saved me from a sniper during your performance.] Weiss remembered a young man in a tuxedo firing a weapon at something behind her.

"THAT WAS JAUNE?"

[Yes, if you see him tell him I wish to speak to him. I have a proposition for him.]

"What's that?"

[My hand in marriage of course. I'll talk you later, love you.] Winter hung up and Weiss was frozen right there. Her older sister wants to marry Jaune.


Meanwhile Teams JNPR and RBY had went to their rooms. They were relaxing,Jaune was on his bed with his headphones on, Pyrrha had climbed onto his bed and snuggled onto him. She was in her 'Arc Club' T-shirt and shorts, Jaune was reading and studying a head for Port's class. "Hey?" He said, the others looked at him. "You think Port could help me out?"

"With…?" Said Ren.

"Well," Jaune turned off his scroll. "I think I might have PTSD." The others were in shock, he lowered his head "and survivor's guilt." His team sat around him.

"Talk to us," said Pyrrha. So he did, he told them about how he had lost an entire platoon and how he was the only one left and even he was on the brink of death then.

"I have been having nightmares about that mission. That mission, is where I got these." He took off his T-shirt and showed his back. They had seen his scars, they were horrible. It looked like he was almost cut in half. "I'm surprised that you still want to be with me Pyr. After all this," Pyrrha started to kiss on his back softly. Ren started to rub his shoulder. Nora hugged him up front and cried on his shoulder.

He hugged her back and started to kiss her on the forehead.


Meanwhile, RBY had caught up with Weiss. "Hey Weiss-Cream," said Yang. "How's it Yang-ing?" The others just sighed, Ruby saw how Weiss was looking.

"Weiss? Are you okay?" She asked.

"My sister," Weiss said.

"What happened?"

"She wants to marry Jaune." The rest of the team were in shock.

"Say What?" Said Yang.

"Yes, he saved her from a sniper. He saved me as well from that same sniper."

"But you don't want to marry him. Do you?" Asked Blake.

"No. At least, I don't think I do."


Later Team RWBY were at JNPR's door. Nora answered it. "Hey guys," she said.

"Can we talk?" Asked Ruby.

"Sure," Nora wasn't her chipper self. "We're having rehab right now, y'know sharing our feelings and all." They came in and saw Jaune relaxing with Pyrrha as Ren was sitting on the floor as Nora sat on his lap and snuggled against him.

"What's up?" Jaune asked, so they sat down and they started to talk and Weiss apologized to him.

"I'm sorry for what I said." She said.

"It's cool," he said.

"NO, it's not!" She said, "I said somethings without thinking and, I'm sorry." Jaune went over to her and hugged the 'Ice Queen' tightly.

"It's nice to finally meet you Ms. Schnee." He said as he hugged her. As he hugged her, Weiss could feel him tremble a bit.

"I promise, I'll make it up to you." She said, then she kissed him on the cheek. Just then they heard a horrid scream, Jaune closed his eyes as tears came out.

"J-Jaune," said Ruby. "What happened?"

"That's what we are talking about," said Pyrrha.

"Jaune has 'survivor's guilt'," said Ren. They told them about, what had happened that gave him those scars on his back. RWBY were horrified.

"To go through all that and still be the guy we can trust with our lives?" Said Blake, "why didn't you talk to me? I would've known you were hurting."

"How Blake? How?" He asked, "I was busy saving your butt. Also, I didn't recognize you remember?" Surprisingly it was Yang that calmed everyone down.

"We're here now." She said, "Just talk to us." So he does and he opens his heart to RWBY, how he got PTSD and guilt weighing him down.

"He was thinking about talking to one of the Professors and see if they could help him." Said Nora. "It's a good thing he has friends like us. If he didn't…" she couldn't bring herself to think about it and hugged Jaune, crying on his chest.

"Hey, I'm still here." He said hugging her, "you remind me of this one teammate I had, real cutie too."

"Really?" Said Pyrrha, "tell us about her."

"Well, she was a spitfire. Tiny thing too, when we met she already had went through a lot and the shock of it took her voice. Didn't mean she couldn't kick as much ass as the rest of us though." He sighed as he thought about her. "She was really cute too, her hair was split but it was mostly pink on the right and a chocolate brown on the right. She also had this weird heterochromia mutation, one eye was pink and the other brown and everytime she blinked, they would change colors. The brown would be on the left and the pink on the right."

"What was her name?" asked Ruby.

"Neo," he shedded tears for her, "she was in a building that blew up as we were trying to escape. She was our spy." He started to wipe his tears away but they kept coming. "It was all my fault." That was when they knew it was bad, Yang grabbed him in a hug.

"No, it wasn't." She said, "she bought you guys time."

"But I killed her."

"No, You Didn't!"

"It was those White Fang Bastards!" Said Blake, she cuddled up to Jaune to give comfort.

"I-I should've went back! I could've rescued her!"

"And get yourself killed?" Said Pyrrha, "Jaune, you die, I die! I can't live without you." She grabbed him in a tight hug.

"Let's get some sleep and start fresh tomorrow." Said Weiss, they agreed and went to bed. Pyrrha had cuddled with Jaune and they went to sleep.

Unknown to them someone was watching over them making sure Jaune was alright, she peeked into the room and saw that Jaune was resting peacefully. 'Don't worry, I'll protect you Jaune even if I have to go through hell to do it!' She thought and closed the door.

End (for now)


Note: PTSD means Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Basically, I think it's where you had seen the horrors of war and got out of it and try to live a normal life but couldn't. Basically veterans have this problem, the rest I gave Jaune this is because I wanted to bring it up as a concern of it.

Oh, don't worry Neo-heads. She's not dead, Jaune only thinks she is and blames himself. Yes, his life is a roller coaster.
