Jaune is sitting in the library, actually doing his homework. Weiss walks up
Weiss: "... Not doing your homework at the last minute, Arc?"
Jaune: "Nope. I'm being methodical. Do you approve?"
Weiss: "Hmph..."
Jaune: "I'll take that as a yes"
Weiss: She sits across from him, scowling "... I broke up with Neptune."
Jaune: "Oh? Why?"
Weiss: sighs "... He flirted with women right in front of me and all his lines were... So empty and vacuous. I wanted to talk to him about things but all he offered was flattery."
Jaune: "Dang. I'm sorry...did you let him have it?"
Weiss: "No... I just told him I wasn't interested and left."
Jaune: "Huh...so what will you do now?"
Weiss: sighs "I don't know..." Scowls "What are you going to do?"
Jaune: "...about what?"
Weiss: "You told me he was no good, you know."
Jaune: "No, I told him that if he broke your heart, I'd break his everything. I can still do that, if you want."
Weiss: "No, no... I just... I feel stupid..."
Jaune: awkwardly pats her on the shoulder "You're not the only one"
Weiss: sighs "Dozens of boys were like that back in Atlas... Flattering me, complimenting me, all just after my money... I thought that Neptune would be different. He was a Huntsman, after all..."
Jaune: Oh boy... "Yes, well, looks can be deceiving." I blame the writers... for the umpteenth time...
Weiss: "Still... I suppose I can appreciate you being... Honest, with me."
Jaune: "You're welcome."
Weiss: "... Are you just trying to play the bad boy?"
Jaune: "Come again?"
Weiss: You're frustratingly arrogant, bitter and cantankerous, yet even after all that I did to you, you still are comforting, kind and dare I say genuine.
Jaune looked away for a moment, then: "I just want the best for everyone, Weiss."
Weiss: "Why?"
Jaune: confused "Why not? We're all in this fight against the darkness together. And like I said... I do love you all."
Weiss: flush
Jaune: "Platonically! Except for Yang. That is definitely not platonic."
Weiss: "Hmph..."
Jaune: "I just want you to be happy, Weiss... That's all. If Neptune made you happy, then good. If not? I break his everything."
Weiss: blush "I-I can break his everything just fine, thank you! And I wouldn't want to watch you do it, either!"
Jaune: "... Okay...?"
Weiss: "Oh just... Forget it..." She points at a note "You spelled this wrong."
Jaune: "It's shorthand."
Weiss: "It's still wrong! Ugh, I'll teach you it properly!"
Jaune: "Yang was going to do that with me-"
Weiss: "She'll do it wrong! Now shut up and let me help you!"
Jaune: "Weiss... Please remember that Yang is really touchy about girls getting too close and you're acting like a tsundere-"
Weiss: "I AM NOT! ... And anyway, I'm doing you a favor! You... Love me, after all!"
Jaune: "Platonically."
Weiss: bright red "YES!"
