{Author's note}

I really gotta find a way to organize this stuff better. Thankfully this story should be short so I don't have to put a lot of writing effort into this one. On to the story then.

Whenever I look at you my heart stops.

The way you wield your weapon with such grace puts the angels to shame.

Whenever I see you smile, I feel like the happiest person alive to witness such a beautiful treasure.

You are my light in a world filled with darkness.

I am not going to simply say you are beautiful, and that it wasn't just your looks that captivated me.

I loved all the times we were together, the thick and the thin.

Or the small moments and quick glances between.

Your personality is what attracted me.

And as I spend the forever moving moments in the river of time,

The more I want to spend the rest of mine with yours…

I am deeply in love with you.

Will… you be mine?

"…" Ren finished reading the letter and gave an unreadable stare at his leader and male teammate Jaune.

"Well? What do you think?" Juane whispered hurriedly.

Ren impassively stared at the Knight in training and tried his best to answer sagely. "Jaune… I am flattered you feel this way, but I don't—"

"W-what!? No!" Jaune screamed, surprising them both. "Look, I gave you the letter so that you could help me figure out who sent it to me!" The blonde boy explained.

Ren gave himself a small sigh of relief that his leader didn't notice. That was waaaaayyyyy less awkward and made much more sense. Then his head started noticing the smaller things about this situation that didn't seem to make sense. "Wait, where did you get this?"

"Well, remember how Professor Oobleck had us do that ten page essay?" Jaune paused and let Ren nod in confirmation. "And how I was lugging around that really big history book with me for that entire week?" Again, Ren nodded wondering where this was actually going. "When I was finally returning that encyclopedia in disguise, the librarian told me that there was this envelope that wasn't there before! It wasn't sealed, so I looked up the contents and found this!" Jaune finished regaling his strange tale while implying that someone must have slipped the love note with the envelope sometime this week.

"I see…" Ren absorbed the information. "But why did you give it to me?"

"I don't know who it's from! You're the only one I can trust to find my secret admirer!" Jaune answered.

Ren examined the linguistics of the letter in question. He raised his brow at the first part of the letter: the part where the writer was calling the way that 'Jaune' handled his weapon like the angels. You wouldn't really compare a man to an angel since that was something one would usually compare a female to. The other glaring fact was that it was implying that with their weapon, 'Jaune' was very graceful with his sword and shield. While their leader was going leaps and bounds, Jaune didn't achieve that level of badassery to put angels to shame… yet at most.

"Jaune, I think this is meant for a girl." Ren told his leader. He watched his leader's eyes, once filled with joy and excitement, be instantly replaced with a defeated and dejected look.

"Go figure. I knew it was too good to be sure," Jaune's posture dropped at that fact. "Guess it was too much to ask for it being from Weiss, huh?"

"Yes."

Jaune sighed at Ren's very fast answer. Ren gave the letter back to Jaune for him to fold it back and place it back in the envelope.

"What are you going to do with it now?" Ren questioningly asked.

"Well, I would feel terrible if someone else read my love letter for another person. I should probably give this back to the writer." Jaune somberly answered.

Ren thought back to the letter, according to it, the writer really loved their personality or character. While it was true that skill wise, Jaune was not the best, he had one of the best characters and the kindest of hearts here and a smile that always made Pyhrra happy, at least when Ren noticed the redhead of their team.

"How exactly will you give the letter, when there was no sign of who it was from, or who it was for?" Ren questioned his leader.

Answering the question, Jaune gave his best impression of whenever Oobleck asked him to answer a question in class, "Uhh…"

Ren sighed and walked with Jaune on their way back to the cafeteria. "Let me help you with that." Ren simply thought that if there was no name for either the sender or receiver then he was going to assume that the two of them might actually have the same feelings for each other and the sender was hoping the receiver would recognize them immediately.

It was going to be tricky, but it shouldn't be too hard.

The two decided to talk more about figuring out who the letter and receiver was after having lunch with everyone else.

Later that day…

"You lost it?" Ren repeated in annoyance.

Jaune was seen panicking in their dorm with Nora and Pyhrra momentarily gone to the showers. "I thought I kept it in my notebook!"

Ren fought the urge to place his hand anywhere above his chin and decided to think rationally for the two. "Think back, where did you last see your notebook?"

Jaune stopped pacing around and placed his hand on his chin. "… The last time I saw it was when I was asking—oh no."

Meanwhile…

Ruby Rose's face was as red as her namesake. She had just finished reading a certain letter for the third time to make sure she wasn't hallucinating.

"H-he thinks I'm an angel? I-I thought he only called Weiss that…" Ruby flushed as she brought her hands to her cheeks to somehow stop herself from blushing, and very poorly trying to calm her self down.

You see, earlier today at lunch, Team RWBY and Team JNPR were having their usual conversation over food.

However, there was one small difference about today's meeting.

"Oh hey, Ruby," Jaune previously called out to the younger member of the group. He took out a few pieces of paper and handed it back to her. "Thanks for letting me borrow some of your notes for the essay."

"No problem, Jaune!" She happily replied as she took them back.

Ruby had lent Jaune her notes because for one, Weiss would never have done it. And since she was one of the top percentile of that class, Jaune tried to ask for her help—yes, he still tried to ask for her help.

Pitying her buddy, and also having some practice with Weiss' study habits, Ruby lent some of her notes for Jaune's essay.

Now somehow along those lines, Jaune took out the letter and left it on top of Ruby's notes. Since he was currently focused on reading the notes, along with laughing at some of the doodles drawn by the young huntress, he neglected the letter and accidentally organized it back with Ruby's notes when he was finished.

It appears the phrase, 'out of sight, out of mind' could play into this situation.

And this situation is poor Ruby trying to handle what she believed was her first confession from a letter she found that wasn't there before in her notes.

Either by her semblance or hormones, Ruby's mind raced with many-a teenage thoughts after re reading the letter a tenth time, none of them logical.

"T-there has to be some kind of mistake! I-I mean t-this one was for Weiss… right? And he probably used some super Morse-spy code that I missed that said I just had to hand this to her and say it's from him… right? Wait, why did he think Weiss was majestic with a weapon? I totally kick butt with Crescent Rose! I'd be all like-bam-woosh-smooch—WHERE DID THAT COME FROM!? But what if it's actually not for Weiss? *Gasp* W-w-what i-if he meant it… for me? J-Jaune is a nice guy, my first friend here. He's nice, a little weak—but he's working around that. I-I mean, sure he's got a great smile too, but he's got some confidence issues which is a downer, but he's fun to be around with! Then there was that time he covered for me when I accidentally ate all of the cookies the cafeteria was giving out that one time… and that time he rubbed my head once after a leadership workshop… that felt really nic—no! What am I thinking!? He's j-just a friend—a nice guy friend that I can be friends with that my dad or Yang won't say 'moved to Vacuo' over night. Why did all the other nice guy friends I have all have to move to Vacuo anyway? I think Vale is way better! Err, the letter!"

This was only one part of an epic thousand words per thought mindset young Rose was going through as she sat on her bed cuddling Zwei tightly.

"What do you think I should do Zwei!?" The leader of Team RWBY asked as she raised the dog in front of her.

"Bark!"

She gasped. "You think that maybe if I said no it would make things awkward between them and us, and we'll never do those super cool things that I thought all eight of us could do?!"

"Bark!"

"And if I say yes, then some kind of epic tragedy could tear us apart like star-crossed lovers, e-even though I-I don't know what I-maybe-completely feel about Jaune, but it would causing everyone to cry and be sad?!" If you hadn't guessed at this point, poor Ruby was letting the stress get to her head, and starting to confuse reality with some of the epic stories she heard when she was a kid. (mixed with some implied themes from Blake's books Yang 'borrowed'.)

This was her first love letter after all, but her reactions to how she should approach this related to the shows, movies, and stories she's heard.

"Bark!" Oh that Zwei. It must be nice being a corgi dog that can be set ablaze and not die.

Ruby jumped of the bed with the letter and Zwei. "You're right, Zwei! I should probably avoid meeting with Jaune until he forgets this ever happened!"

"Ruby?"

"Kyah! Weiss! W-what are you doing here!?" Ruby cried as she turned to face her partner.

"This is our room so of course I would be here," The heiress tiredly said. It was times like this that made her momentarily question their leader. But then her eyes fell on an eye-catching envelope in Ruby's hands. "Is that a letter you have there?"

Ruby's mouth and mind went into overload as she started sputtering in coherent sounds rather than actually forming words. Eventually, she shoved the letter to Weiss and said, "Here!" Before storming off in a gust of petals from her semblance as she dropped the corgi to the ground, only for Zwei to roll itself over to its belly like nothing even happened.

Now her reasoning for giving Weiss the letter had something to do with her accidentally crossing her thoughts about Jaune originally wanting to give the letter to Weiss, and her wanting to run away from this problem for a bit until Jaune would forget about it. Yes, Ruby's mental state was not the best right now, and yes, she did neglect to mention that the envelope she gave Weiss was what she thought was a letter for her from Jaune, but now Weiss was assuming this was a letter from Ruby to her.

Weiss, despite dumbfounded at the reaction of her leader, opened the unsealed envelope and read the letter.

Back with Jaune and Ren…

Jaune and Ren made their way out of their dorm and saw a blur of rose petals pass them by.

"Why was Ruby using her semblance?" Jaune thought innocently out loud as he followed some of the left over trails.

However, Ren was having the sneaking idea that Ruby read the letter and assumed it to be Jaune's confession and the blonde knight in question was to oblivious to realize it.

Hopefully, she had the letter and they could easily handle this situation after the two of them caught one of the fastest people in all of Vale.

But as they were sprinting after the reaper girl, the knight and the lotus warrior did not notice a flushed and sincerely jaw-dropping, shocked princess staring at a simple sheet of paper with words on them.

{Author's note.}

Hola. I hope you enjoyed my very first romantic comedy story! (Does anyone find it odd that A majority of the stories in this side of Fanfiction are all based on pairings even though the actual story has nothing on some of the pairings actually created? Well sure there's those weird people over in Legend Of Korra and Pokemon but...)



Thankfully, I can write things as crazy as I want, and best of all this is planned to be short. (But it mostly depends on the reviews for this story would get.)

Sorry if things seem a bit crazy and OOC, but this one was written for fun and not much else, so I get a cheap laugh at reading my own work. One weird thing is that I have a sneaking suspicion I can tease ALL KINDS of SHIPPING with this type of premise.

You want shipping? I'll give you packaging instead!

…

Yang: Oh, I get it!

I hate my life.
