Capítulo 58: CHAPTER 57
PYRRHA NIKOS POV
She looked at the multiple airships floating overhead and frowned.
She knew that General Ironwood would come here thanks to Jaune's information but to see him bring just a large Military fleet with him…
It made her uncomfortable.
More so than she already was.
She walked around the long hallways of Beacon, her shroud connection to Jaune giving her an idea of where he was… and what he was currently feeling.
She didn't begrudge him that.
Taking life for the first time... It was never easy. Or at least that's what she had been told by her teacher.
She eventually found him sitting on an empty seat under the evening sun and looking at the airships flying overhead with a morose look on his face.
She walked up to him and sat down beside him. She noticed that he was rubbing his hands furiously, shaking a little from his recent experience.
She put a hand on his thigh and he slowed down and rubbing his hands "How are you holding up Jaune?" she asked, knowing well the answer to that question.
He paused and turned to look at her and her heart broke at the vulnerable look on his face "The… the blood just won't come off." He spoke. "I feel dirty all over. No matter how many times I bathe. And… it's not going away."
She didn't say anything and simply pulled him in a tight hug.
His shaking lessened a bit and his tense body slackened as he sighed and leaned down on her.
"How about we go home for the night." She said "I'll tell Ruby and Weiss something… and we can take a day off. Maybe tomorrow as well."
He sighed and stepped away from the hug before he wrapped his arm around her waist and leaned down on her shoulder.
He stayed silent for a while and just stared at the multiple airships flying overhead.
"That… is a lot of firepower isn't it."
"It is." She nodded.
"Makes you wonder why the hunters are even necessary when Atlas could build technology like this."
"You told me that they were all compromised during the… the Fall of Beacon."
"They were." He nodded and let out a morose chuckle "I suppose that Ironwood's overreliance on his Technology eventually did come to bite him in the ass."
"Jaune…" she said softly. Wanting to convey her worry for him through her words and through the shroud connection.
He turned toward her but didn't look her in the eyes.
"Jaune. Look at me." She said.
He hung his head and didn't look at her.
She got up from beside him and knelt in front of him. She then gently cupped his cheeks and made him 'look' at her.
"Jaune. Nobody blames you for what you did." She said. And she didn't. While Hunters usually only hunted the Grimm, they were also frequently tasked with dealing with the local Bandits or terrorists like the White Fang.
Death was not something that you could stay away from for long in this occupation and she knew that eventually, she would have to do it as well.
She had seen Jaune freeze when he went for the killing blow and was thankful that he took his first life in a safe place.
Freezing as he did during mid-battle could end up with him dead or heavily injured.
Jaune sighed but didn't say anything and looked away.
Without any other card left to play, she moved toward him and gently captured his lips with her own.
They stayed like that for a long moment before he finally separated from her and looked at her with eyes filled with love.
And even if he didn't say it, she felt some of the pain and guilt he was feeling lessen a bit through the shroud and felt relieved.
"What would I do without you?" he asked as he cupped her cheeks and kissed her forehead.
"Mope for a few more days no doubt." She said with a cheeky smirk.
He smiled at her. The smile was brittle and forced but at least he was trying now.
He intertwined his fingers with her own and then got up from the bench "Let's go home. I want to rest for a while. And cuddle with you."
And even when he said cuddle, she could feel the build of lust through the Shroud connection. A feeling that he allowed her to feel and something that turned her own as a result.
He had told her that he wouldn't take her virginity unless they found a special occasion for it. But they could definitely relieve themselves in 'other ways'.
She wrapped her arms around him as they left the empty park before they came to a location with no cameras and he opened the Portal before entering it with her following a moment behind him.
And then they paused as they looked at the Bullhead parked on clearing in front of them.
"It seems like Neo has been hard at work." He said, amusement clear in his voice. "It's a pity that I don't know how to fly one. It seems like you'll just have to ride me for now."
"I don't see a problem with that." She said suggestively.
He simply laughed and started to strip. Once he was done stripping, he quickly changed into his Dragon form.
It was slightly larger than when she had seen him for the first time.
Compared to his earlier 13 by 32-meter long frame, Jaune's shoulder height was now at 15 meters and his total length was at about 41 meters.
Combined with his even better control with his lightning element and just a better sense of control over his whole body… yes, Jaune made for a mighty figure now and it was hard for her to not become a little wet at the sight of him.
Jaune turned his long neck to look at her and rumbled in his deep and commanding voice "Climb on."
And she did.
She had a feeling that riding Jaune in his Dragon form won't ever get old.
"Let's go home Jaune." She said with a content sigh before Jaune flapped his wings and they flew toward their mansion.
Little did they know about the gift that'll be waiting for them back at home when they eventually arrive there.
—————
AN: The Chapter became a bit overdramatic than I initially wanted it to be. But I've read many fanfics where the protagonist makes his first kill and then acts as if that was normal. That just feels strange and unnatural to me so I made an effort to show that killing someone did had an effect on him.
And yes, his Dragon body is growing along with his powers. Right now he's probably about the size of Drogon in GOT.
Except he also has two hands and can use lightning and manipulate the weather.
So...
Dragon Jaune > Drogon
