Chapter Text
Jaune: *stares at them unsure of what to do*
Jaune: This is hardly the time for jokes.
Weiss: If you want proof, I will prove it to you.
Weiss: *kneels in front of him*
Ruby: *kneels in front of him*
Jaune: *stunned silence*
Ruby: So, are you going to say anything?
Jaune: Say what? What's happening is impossible. My brain... can't... process...
Jaune: *stumbles backwards*
Weiss and Ruby stand up and rush over to catch him. They quickly lower him until he's seated on the ground. They once again kneel in front of him.
Ruby: Why is it impossible?
Weiss: A Schnee was kneeling in front of him. That does seem impossible to me.
Ruby: There you go again, everything is about your family.
Weiss: It's not about my family... I... everything I do is to try and MAKE UP FOR MY FAMILY! I apologize for my unladylike behaviour.
Jaune: You are just adorable.
Weiss: There you go being all loving again.
Jaune: Why wouldn't I be loving? I thank the light brother just being allowed to be around you. All of you.
Weiss: There you go... all of us?..
Jaune: You say you're in love with me? How does that work? I tried and you rejected me. I was just happy to be allowed to be your friend.
Weiss: You've changed. I've changed. We've both changed. I can't see my life without you. I hope my life won't be without you.
Jaune: Then why are you fighting?
Ruby: Because you love everyone, apparently.
Jaune: Is that why you are fighting? You're fighting over me?!
Weiss (tears in her eyes): YES!
Jaune: Well stop it. I'm not that important.
Ruby: Stop that! You are that important! At least to me. At least to us.
Jaune: *breathes deeply*
Jaune: Whatever we do, you two have to stop fighting.
Ruby: We swear!
Weiss: On my father's name.
Ruby: On her father's name. What? I love you, but I'm not giving up my dad.
Weiss: My relationship is not so loving.
Jaune: *breathes deeply* The fighting has to stop.
Ruby: It will.
Weiss: We promise you, it will.
Jaune: *breathes deeply*
Weiss (gently): But how can we do this? You will have to pick one of us? The other will have to accept it?
Jaune: How am I going to pick between you? Until this very moment, I thought either of you falling in love with me as impossible.
Ruby: We're here right now.
Weiss: We're here for you.
Jaune: *breathes deeply*
Jaune: Can you be there for each other?
Ruby and Weiss: *pregnant pause*
Jaune: You are too wonderful together. How could I get between you?
Weiss: *forlorn look*
Ruby: But, we are so wonderful together...
Jaune: If I knew I would come between you two... I wouldn't have... I... I didn't even do anything.
Ruby: You loved us.
Weiss: That was more than enough.
Jaune: I...
Ruby: Don't say you regret it.
Jaune: I...
Weiss: *forlorn look*
Jaune: Only... only if I get between you. I never thought... never... that you both...
Weiss: You never thought we would both love you?
Jaune: *lightly nods*
Jaune: I care about you both too much to let anything happen to you.
Weiss: Well, then it seems we need to come up with a diplomatic solution.
Ruby: I barely know what diplomacy means.
Weiss: *does a double take a Ruby*
Weiss: I'm not sure if you're telling the truth. But there is one way for us to both love him without fighting over him.
Jaune: I don't think I like that look on your face.
Ruby: What look?
Jaune: The look Weiss has when she's found a solution... a final solution... Something so profound we won't be able to argue with.
Ruby: Weiss?
Weiss: *breathes deeply*
Weiss: We share him.
Ruby: What about Blake and Yang. What about your father?
Weiss: For the first time in my life what my father thinks is the last thing on my mind. And I'm sure Blake and Yang will be happy for us... if a little bit shocked.
Ruby: You're sure?
Jaune: What about what you two think?
Ruby: We've already agreed.
Weiss: If you'll have us.
Jaune: Two super-star goddess pledge their love for me, and you think I'll refuse?
Ruby: Well, you almost did.
Jaune: Only if I came between you two.
*knock on the door*
Jaune: Struggles trying to stand up. Ruby and Weiss quickly join him.
Jaune: Uh, come in?!
Glynda: *opens the door and walks inside*
Glynda: I trust you settled your differences amicably?
Ruby: That's one way to put it.
Jaune: *bows*
Jaune: We can't thank you enough to letting us borrow this room.
Glynda: So long as the situation was finally resolved amicably. I will remind you that Beacon Academy does not discriminate based on relationship status. We are training the finest huntsmen and huntresses in Remnant. You have to be capable of making decisions like adults and living with the consequences.

Ozpin: That was quite generous of you.
Glynda: Yes, well, how often does RWBY ask for permission for anything?
