"Talking"
'Thoughts'
Music
*I do not own anything except for this story 👍
*Due to the background of RWBY and Jaune, I'm changing some of the words/sentences in the lyrics of future songs to fit with the world of RWBY.
*Also, what's up guys and gals? It's been months since I have updated this fic and I had honestly wanted to continue this more since where I had left, but, before this app updated, writing in this app was hard to do so. So much so, that I just decided to uninstall the app and forget all about it. But now, I'm back! Enjoy.
Music/s: Trust Fund Baby & Lose Yourself
Artists: Why Don't We? & Eminem
Everyone were talking to each other animatedly from the last two music videos that was played out.
The girls, except Nora, were still hung at the last music video. With Pyrrha, Velvet, Coco, and Yang letting out long sighs.
"I didn't think that Jaune could sing that good, especially a love song~." Coco said with a sultry smirk.
"I know, it's like he's a totally different person when he sings and records in music videos." Nora nodded in agreement.
"Just how did Jaune come up with these anyways? Especially that first one, that was really funny." Velvet let out a giggle while wondering.
RWBY and NPR looked at each other and shrugged, with Ren saying;
"Honestly? We don't know. All of these songs he sang? Are a complete mystery to us, especially since some of these were made during his time here, as he looked the same in some of the videos that were played."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Well, I guess it's my turn now right?" Pyrrha asked everyone to which she receives several nods and words of agreement.
Receiving the scroll from Ren, Pyrrha searched for the song she, and the others, would like to listen to.
'Hmm... Animals? No. Yummy? No. Lucky strike? Hm. Maybe my next turn or someone else would choose it. What to do... Oh? This one looks interesting!!' Pyrrha smiled giddily as she selected the song to be played. Although the title wasn't promising for a confession, like say her, but it looked to be interesting to listen to. So why not?
Everyone sat down, got comfy in their positions, and watched in anticipation for what was about to be shown.
The video starts with Jaune, looking a little younger, wearing a white hoodie and navy jeans with blue headphones hanging on his neck as he walked towards a school.
Song: Trust Fund Baby
By: Jaune Arc
"Hm? Hold up, pause the video!" Coco said out loud as she slowly slid her shades down to have a better view of the school in the video.
"What is it Coco? Do you recognize that school?" Velvet asked curiously.
"Somewhat. I think I've passed by that school when I went to do some missions outside of the city. That school is just within the city grounds, but it is also near a exit out of the city when not using a bullhead or any kind of vehicle." Coco replied with a shrug.
"So, Jaune had went to school there, which means his house where he and family lived; is just somewhere in Vale or just out of the boundary. Huh." Blake theorized, receiving shrugs from the others.
Right as Jaune stepped into school grounds he bumped into someone by his shoulder, a girl to be precise judging by appearance.
That girl's appearance immediately garnered the attention of a certain champion and probably one or two other girls.
The girl was slightly shorter than Jaune. She has long black hair, green eyes, wears navy blue jeans, cyan cardigan over a white T-shirt, and black sneakers. She also wears a flower hairpin, a white scarf, white gloves,
Yang squinted her eyes as she leaned further to observed that, the girl looked somewhat familiar to her.
Jaune and the girl smiled and greeted at each other before going into the school together. Then loud music started to beat.
I don't want a girl who gets a car for her sweet sixteen
Or spends a stack of dollar bills on a limousine
I want a girl who takes the bus and who wears baggy jeans
Rockin' Nike Airs, what the hell are Louboutins?
Don't want no fake tan, short skirt, daddy's money don't work
Shop until you drop on the town
I want a smart girl, stronger than her father
Someone who will laugh at tryna fit in the crowd (ah-ow, ow)
And all we used to dream about
Is getting rich and getting out
Move to the nicer part of town
Where we'd have numbers on our house
It took a while to figure out
What type of girl that I'm about
Who brings the real man out of me, yeah
I don't really want no trust fund baby
I like my women independent
And I say to people, "That's my lady"
And we don't need nothing else
I don't want no trust fund baby
Save your money, don't spend it
And I say to people, "That's my lady"
And we don't need nothing else
Nora blinked her eyes as realization dawn on her.
"Ohh, so this song is basically what Jaune-Jaune's preference of the type of girl he wants. Gotta say though, I did not expect that."
Ren merely hummed before taking a glance at his other teammate, only to immediately turned his gaze back to the holographic TV screen.
Crimson malevolent aura appeared surrounding Pyrrha, who stared blankly at the music video. She muttered incoherent words out of her mouth that seem like she was chanting out a curse.
Everyone edged further away from the time bomb.
I don't want a girl who takes selfies, want her makeup free
Don't want no mean girl, lady in pink, prom queen
I want a girl who climbs trees, always dirt on her jeans
Her daddy told her how to fix cars, maybe she could fix me
I want a throwback kid who loves Missy Elliot
Who for my birthday, makes a mixtape and puts it on cassette
Want a girl with common sense, who's dripping in competence
Don't wanna die to get rich but she loves Fifty Cent (ah-ow, ow)
And all we used to dream about
Is getting rich and getting out
Move to the nicer part of town
Where we'd have numbers on our house
It took a while to figure out
What type of girl that I'm about
Who brings the real man out of me, yeah
I don't really want no trust fund baby
I like my women independent
And I say to people, "That's my lady"
And we don't need nothing else
I don't want no trust fund baby
Save your money, don't spend it
And I say to people, "That's my lady"
And we don't need nothing else
"You know," Ruby suddenly said out loud. "why do I get the feeling that Yang would be the perfect girl for Jaune, judging by the lyrics of this song?"
"What?" Yang sputtered as she gained everyone's attention, including a certain yandere she didn't want to deal with. "Pssh, what are you talking about Rubes? Me? Nah." She denied as much as she could, as she didn't want to get punctured by numerous metal sharp objects.
"..." Pyrrha didn't say anything. She was just seating on her seat, staring blankly, and menacingly, at Yang for several moments before returning to the screen. Which made everyone let out breaths of relief.
I don't want no trust fund baby (no, I don't want me)
I just want me a proper lady (no, I don't want me)
I don't want no trust fund baby (no, I don't want me)
I don't really want no trust fund baby
I like my women independent (hey)
And I say to people, "That's my lady" (that's my lady, na-na-na-na-na)
And we don't need nothing else
I don't want no
I don't want no trust fund baby (no, I don't want me)
I just want me a proper lady (no, I don't want me)
I don't want no trust fund baby (no, I don't want me)
No, I don't want me
The beats of the song continued on as Jaune and the girl left their school, smiles on their faces, as the former wrapped one arm around the latter's shoulders.
*Crack!*
Everyone flinched in their places, as numerous metallic objects floated around the room and had flew towards the holo-screen, before stopping just inches away from it.
"..."
The metallic then fell down to the floor with a thud, which further made everyone's faces drained of color.
"Hm? Why were there some objects flying at the screen? Weird." They glanced warily towards an innocent looking Pyrrha. Her ever polite and gentle smile was still there on her lips, but her eyes however. It was cold.
Looking at her eyes made even Weiss shudder, much less everyone else.
"Well? Who's next to play a new song?" Pyrrha asked.
Coco is a second year student of beacon, as well as a team leader and natural badass with a purse minigun. She had went through many experiences in her school time, to which she could say that she wouldn't really be afraid or surprise of anything else in life now.
But, looking at those deep cold eyes of a young woman desperately wanting a certain someone's D, she was terrified.
"O-Okay." Coco tried to play it cool but she had involuntarily stuttered, causing her to slightly blush in embarrassment before pushing it through.
She grabbed the scroll from Pyrrha's hand, with some 'slight' difficulty, and gone to search for a song. While everyone silently took small glances at her and the latter.
A brief moment passes and Coco finally chose the song she wanted to play.
Everyone continued to stay silent as they watched the video start up.
The video starts with Jaune staring at himself in the mirror. He wore a beanie hat, black hoodie over a blue T-shirt and long baggy black pants.
He appeared to be very nervous and panicked, something dripped down his mouth as he stared blankly at himself in the mirror.
This gained everyone's attention of Jaune's state of appearance.
"Uh, Rubes, did he-?" Yang asked with a disgusted expression. Instantly remembering her first meeting with Jaune.
"...Probably?" Ruby uncertainly replies.
Weiss stared at them both with a raised eyebrow. "Uh, can you two explain to what may be going on with the dolt?"
The two half sisters glanced at each other and said. "Vomit boy."
Everyone else blinked and turned back towards the screen and let out ahh's word of understanding.
Suddenly, beats started to drop.
Look
If you had
Jaune took a towel and started to clean himself up.
One shot
Or one opportunity
After cleaning himself up, he turned and continued staring back at himself.
To seize everything you ever wanted
He clenched his hands into fists.
In one moment
Would you capture it
Or just let it slip?
Jaune then punches the mirror, making a wide spider-web crack. Blood trickling down his fist. Then the video turned dark, showing it to be a lyrical video only.
Song: Lose Yourself
By: Jaune Arc
Everyone gasps in shock of what they're seeing, and it was not because it was a lyrical video.
"Did he just-?" Ruby said with a shocked expression.
"Punch a freaking a mirror with his bare hand? Yeah, he just did that." Coco said an open mouth.
Truthfully, they weren't really shock that Jaune had managed to punch a mirror and break it without either screaming in pain or crying. Anyone can do it and heal from the injury it had caused with aura. But that's the thing, Jaune didn't look like he had used his aura to cover his fist nor use it to heal the injury.
"T-That's got to be some special effects right?" Velvet said with a stutter, worry in her eyes as she watch the video.
"I hope so, or I would have words with Jaune for going too far with acting." Pyrrha said with a scowl. There wasn't a lot of things that can get her angry, but anything that concerns the safety of Jaune? She would be like Yang when someone touches her hair.
Yo
His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgettin'
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
He's chokin', how, everybody's jokin' now
The clocks run out, times up, over, blaow
Snap back to reality, ope there goes gravity
Ope, there goes Rabbit, he choked
He's so mad, but he won't give up that easy? No
He won't have it, he knows his whole back's to these ropes
It don't matter, he's dope, he knows that, but he's broke
He's so stagnant, he knows, when he goes back to this mobile home, that's when it's
Back to the lab again, yo, this whole rhapsody
Better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him
Everyone's jaws dropped. They were all shocked by the song and singing of Jaune, it was especially for Coco and Velvet as this was the first time they had heard him rap.
"Holy, I can't keep up much of what he had just sang!" Yang said out loud as she threw her arms up forward.
"Same." Blake said and nodded along with everyone else.
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime
You better
Everyone nodded their heads along with the music. They've got to admit, they're losing themselves to the music as well.
His soul's escaping, through this hole that is gaping
This world is mine for the taking
Make me king, as we move toward a New World Order
A normal life is borin', but super stardom's close to post mortem
It only grows harder, only grows hotter
He blows, it's all over, these hoes is all on him
Coast to coast shows, he's known as the Globetrotter
Lonely roads, God only knows, he's grown farther from home, he's no son
He goes home and barely knows his own family
But hold your nose 'cause here goes the cold water
These hoes don't want him no mo', he's cold product
They moved on to the next schmo who flows, he nose dove and sold nada
So the soap opera is told and unfolds, I suppose it's old partna, but the beat goes on
Da-da-dum, da-dum, da-da
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime
You better
"Okay, now I know what my new ringtone would be." Yang said with a huge grin as she bob her head up and head.
"Ditto." Ruby and Nora both agreed.
No more games, I'ma change what you call rage
Tear this motherfuckin' roof off like two dogs caged
I was playin' in the beginnin', the mood all changed
I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
But I kept rhymin' and stepped right in the next cypher
Best believe somebody's payin' the Pied Piper
All the pain inside amplified by the
Fact that I can't get by with my nine to
Five and I can't provide the right type of
Life for my family 'cause man, these goddamn food stamps don't buy diapers
And its no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer
This is my life and these times are so hard
And it's getting even harder tryna feed and water my seed, plus
Teeter totter, caught up between bein' a brother and a prima donna
Baby mama drama, screamin' on her, too much
For me to wanna stay in one spot, another day of monotony's
Gotten me to the point, I'm like a snail I've got
To formulate a plot or end up in jail or shot
Success is my only motherfuckin' option, failure's not
Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go, I cannot grow old in Vale's Lot
So here I go, is my shot
Feet, fail me not, this may be the only opportunity that I got
"Wait a minute, Vale's lot? Also, is his family's financial situation not good?" Pyrrha asked in worry.
Nora and Ren turned to looked at each other, worry and concerned expressions on their faces as they heard about their leader's probable bad situation. They were both orphans but they only had responsibilities to looked out with each other and their friends.
But Jaune had to help with his family's apparent bad situation.
Everyone else had the same opinion more or less, well, almost everyone.
'I knew it...' Weiss gritted her teeth in silent anger as she coldly glared at the holo-screen. This may have proves it, Jaune Arc had courted her for her money and status only.
This. Was. Unforgivable.
Unnoticed to her however, deep sadness and disappointment sprouted within her heart.
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime
You better
The video then shows a scene of Jaune standing on a small stage, wearing only a white tee-shirt, baggy blue sports short and sneakers. He was waving his arm around while his other hand had a mic next to his mouth, in front of him was a cheering crowd.
While Jaune, he was smiling.
You can do anything you set your mind to, man
End
"Okay, wow. I gotta admit, that was pretty dope rap that I haven't heard before." Coco said as she finishes processing what she had heard and seen. Velvet nodded in agreement.
"I'd heard rap before, but Jaune really hit it at a God tier!" Ruby said with a wide smile.
"Rap god! Fearless leader is a freaking god of raps! And I'm his vessel. Fear me, for I am the Queen of Rap! The apostle of thy Rap God Jaune!" Nora said and laughed manically at the same time.
"Nora... Remember what you promised me earlier. You'd behave during this session." Ren calmly said.
Nora was frozen still and dropped her shoulders with a depressed expression.
Everyone chuckled and giggled as they discussed about the music video.
Coco turned her head around and said. "Hey bun bun, your turn. What're you going to choose next?"
