The Dance Of Love (RWBY/FATE)

Chapter 41: chappy 36



{THIRD PERSON POV}

She didn't deserve a brother as good as Jaune... that was what Mordred thought to herself as she look at her brother trying to act everything is fine as they walk together even though she knows that his heart is still hurting him.

"You sure you're okay now Jaune?" Mordred ask her little brother as they walk through the forest.

It's been like almost 10 hours that they had been in the spot, most of the time was spent with Jaune's sleeping and Mordred taking care of him for like water and food.. they got some snacks and drinks stored inside the cave but sadly nothing that could fill a stomach like a full on meal.

She offered Jaune to quickly go to the town and buy a meal or two but Jaune refused by saying how he isn't that hungry.... she knows deep down that Jaune just doesn't want her to leave.. and he said refused didn't he? She would be a bad fucking sister if she left her little brother when he needed her the most.. especially if he asked her to not leave him..

"Yeah... I'm fine now.. it doesn't hurt that much anymore..." Jaune give her his usual kind smile but she wanted to punch him for it because she can see that she can see that he is forcing that smile.. not like the usual.. that meant that he is still hurting and he is just saying this so she feel better about herself and not be worried for him...

Fuck him.. fuck him for being the kindest little brother she could ever had... fuck him.. why the fuck would he do this for her? He should be more selfish for once in his entire God damned life..

"Okay..... but.... but I will only believe you if you agree with me.." she will made sure that Jaune will be fine tonight cause for all she knows, whatever happened this morning could happen again to him..

"Okay, I will agree with whatever you want to say, Mordred." He nodded at her.

"Tonight.. I will sleep in your room.." she give him her ultimatum.

Jaune raised an eyebrow at her. ".....why?"

"Why? I know you're dumb Jaune.. but not this dumb.." she then let out a sigh. "Why? Well because for all I know.. you could have another heart attack you stupid fuck...." she couldn't believe the dumbassity of this brat... what di he meant by why? Is he dumb? Or is he just plain stupid? Her hunch is feeling that he is both cause fucking hell.. is it that hard for him to know that she is fucking worried?

"Oh.... well.. okay then..." Jaune then scratch the back of his head but to her it looks like he is just agreeing to her for her sake rather than the sake of his own health..

This kid will be the dead of her.. literally... most likely from a heart attack of her own.. or even more likely because if a brain aneurysm just from how much stress he gave her..

But she wouldn't trade him for the world... cause why would she do that? She loved him too much for that could ever cross her mind..

"Mordred... do you think that Dad would be home by now?" Jaune asked her and it Made Mordred start to think about it.

That would be true.. Mom said that Dad would be home at noon or something at the latest.. so that would mean that dad Could very well be home by now...

Deep in her heart, Mordred hoped that their father wouldn't be home now.. maybe tomorrow... because their father is not good for Jaune's health.. especially now... she isn't stupid.. Jaune may said that his heart pain is from somebody dying and she believed him cause he is the person she trust the most in the world... but she knows deep down that this has something to do with their father cause God damn...

In the morning, Their father suddenly show Jaune affection.. affection that he never given Jaune in years! She wouldn't be fucking suprised that Their father is the biggest reason for Jaune having a literal Heart attack! The shock would be too much for Jaune to handle! Fuck their father! If not for Jaune, she would had have an all out brawl with him everyday! How dare he hurt Jaune! How dare their bastard of a father hurt the little brother of the great Mordred Arc!

<=======]==¤

Looking at his sister being lost in thought.. Jaune decided to just shake his head and sigh.

Sometimes his sister like to get lost inside of her own head... but hey, he won't complain or do anything about it... as much as he love his sister.. which is a lot for anyone asking... he sometimes couldn't help but want to.. you know.. not hear hear shout insult to everyone...

He doesn't mind her being Loud or things like that.. he is just isn't fond of her creative use of words... it doesn't hurt his feelings cause he know that whenever she 'insulted' him.. she never meant anything by it..

It's just that he couldn't ever imagine himself throwing the same insults at her... he don't even think he had ever said a single insult at anyone in his entire life... which compared to Mordred... by the time she was 10 years old, every curse words is basically burned into her vocabulary.. so yeah... he couldn't imagine using the same vocabulary as her.. it would be like... dad suddenly train him again.. basically end of the world stuff right there.

He guessed that what she is thinking right now is probably about how she'll beat up Dad... as for how he know? Really? They both know each other the best...

As they walk, Jaune raised a hand and put it over his heart.

'Damn.. it hurts...'

But compared to how bad it was this morning... this is fine.. he could handle this.. even with dad home.. he could fake it.. no... he must fake it.. act as if everything is fine.. if his father suspected something then it would be bad for him.... ever since he unlocked his Aura, he never needed his mother to use her Semblance on him, He doesn't know about what would happen if she use it on him now that he have his Aura unlocked.

If his mother's Semblance exposed the fact that Jaune had unlocked his Aura then it's basically game Over... he won't be able to run away to Vacuo and join Shade academy...

And Mordred would also get blamed too cause the others know that Mordred and him is basically as thick as thief and if anyone knows about his Aura then it would be Mordred.

There's a reason why their father or mother never unlocked all of his children's Aura.. its because Aura gives them a huge targets on the event of a grimm attack.. its basically a shining beacon that says hey I'm here! Eat me! To the grimm..

Grimm is a creature of darkness and they hunger for light... Aura is our soul.. and our soul is light... even Atlas's foot soldiers don't have their Aura unlocked and even if they did then it'll be pretty bad for them because none of them had gone into a hunter academy.

And unlocking a person's Aura isn't something you can do willy nilly... it is a deeply intimate act.... Jaune wouldn't be surprised if it is more intimate than-sorry for the language-Sex... considering that unlocking a person Aura with your own Aura is in the simplest term is reaching out to their soul with your own soul... there is a reason about why unlocking a person's Aura only happened to parent and children or siblings to siblings because you don't want to bare your soul to a stranger to somebody you doesn't basically know your whole life..

And this heart of his... he used structural analysis on it multiple time already just in case he missed something.. but there is nothing wrong with it, everything is fine..

"You okay Jaune? You're holding your chest." Mordred's words snap him out of his thought before he smiled again and nod his head.

"Yeah I'm okay.. it doesn't hurt as it used too." He is lying a little... because even though it doesn't hurt as it used too.. it still hurts really bad... how bad? Well he would rather have the same injuries as he had when he unlocked his Aura rather than what he is currently experiencing right now.

It hurts like hell.. but for his family.. for Mordred.. he would push through it.. because if he didn't? Then what use is his love for them..

"..... you want me to give you another piggy back ride? I don't mind..."

Jaune totally believe it when Mordred says those words.. he know that she don't mind it.. but he does.. because if he accept it then Mordred will know just how truly in pain he is.. and she'll get more worried.. he don't want her to cry..

So rather than accepting the piggy back ride, Jaune shakes his head. "No its okay.. how about this.. we'll race back home?"

Mordred looks at him with the kind of look that only made it more painful for him. "Okay..... you first.. I'll give you a head start..."

'Okay jaune... you just had to push through this.. its just pain.. and it will never stop you... for Mordred's sake don't let it stop you.' "Okay... three... two... one..." After he countdown, Jaune start to run as fast as his heart allowed him too.

Mordred easily catch up to him. "What's the matter Jaune? You tired?" Mordred Tried to put on some Bravado in her voice but her voice crack because of her emotion.

After a few minutes of running, Jaune starts panting and slow down, Mordred instantly grab his arm and sling it over her shoulder. "Come on.. just put all of your weight on me...." her eyes glisten with tears again and Jaune feels like he had become the worst brother in the words.. he had once again put Mordred in tears..

"I'm sorry..." he apologizes to her as they walk through the forest.

"...don't apologize to me, dumbass... you didn't ask for this..." Mordred tell him.

He knows that he didn't ask any of this.. he didn't expect to wake up to a heart attack.. but still.. It didn't made him feel really guilty to make Mordred take care of him.. usually they would train until they're both tired or they help around the town and just have some fun.. but today, all he had given her are tears and stress... she didn't deserve any of this... he didn't deserve to have a sister as caring as her..

"Come on, Jaune.. just hold on for a few more minutes.. we'll arrive at our house in just a few minutes.. can you do that for me?" She asked him. "Please?"

Please... she said please... oh... how that hurt him more than about actual Stab could ever feel... his sister... the one who had never even said please to their parents.. had just used the word please to him...

"I'm not dying Mordred.... I'm not dying..." he pleaded to Mordred because he doesn't want her to think that he is dying... he will be okay by tomorrow.. he knew it.. tomorrow it would probably still hurt but it'll be on the level that he can ignore..

"I know.... I know Jaune... but... *sigh* don't keel over and die.. it'll be a pain to drag your body back to the house." Jaune couldn't be more happier at hearing Mordred words.

"Well I guess since should thank you in advance..."

"Hey Mordred..."

"Yeah?"

".....thank you for being the best sister i could ever hoped for..."

Mordred let out a soft laugh as they are finally in view of their home. "Stop saying weird shit like that Jaune.... and you're not that bad of a brother too, I guess."
