"Helloooo! You've reached Jaune Arc! If I'm not answering, it means I'm probably off somewhere fighting monsters or... doing something really awesome like saving a cat, or the president's son! You know how it is, a leader's schedule can be really hectic nowadays, ha ha! Just kidding, I'm probably in school, but I'd totally do those things if I ha-- [BEEP]"

[ Jaune brings her hand down again so he can look at her once more, only because he's curious about what she means. It's only then, by the second glance, that he notices something peculiar about her face, and then everything else falls in place such as her tone and the close proximity. The eye contact, the hair on her lips... those same lips that whisper things?
He wants to vomit.
But he can't, because what he's feeling isn't sickness or disgust. It's something different, entirely new, and he can't compare this overwhelming rollercoaster of emotions to anything that makes sense to him other than motion sickness. But it's not that?? Ugh! ]
So, you're worried that your threats will get stale? That's... a new one... I'm flattered, I think? Heh...
[ He asks as he clears her face from a few rogue strands of her hair, carefully combing them in any direction for no reason other than he wants to see her better. ]
1/HAHA WHAT WAS I THINKING
Not slow.
But she can't stop herself. She can't hold herself back from the edge of whatever cliff - and it's one she hadn't known was there at all! - they've found themselves teetering on. Even if she can only just barely grasp the edges of this and what it means, why does it seem they're always falling onto things?
Swallowing yields no result. Moving yields no result. Not that she isn't: Rapunzel's hands, smaller than his (and gosh, this is the first time she's really seeing their size difference and appreciating it), are trembling along with the rest of her. Her chest has gone tight and breathing has become all but impossible, has become not unlike one side-effect she'd experienced after drinking one of those terrible fucking potions... She doesn't need to see a healer to know there's something very wrong with her, to know she needs help, but the person she'd turn to for help here is - is - ]
J-Jaune, I–

And then!
As he's brushing the hair from her face, his thumb grazes her bottom lip. It's fast and his hand definitely doesn't linger.
But what it's done to her has, and that's something unlike any other feeling she's ever had.
Ever.
It's electricity and heat and, with Jaune's eyes fixed so steadily on her, it's excitement too suddenly. Her heart is throwing itself against her ribcage like something caged and hungry. Looking briefly at her shaking hands, she knows her body is entering some kind of bizarre fight-or-flight response to whatever crazy neurotransmitters and hormones are surging through her.

THIS IS SUCH A DISPROPORTIONATE REACTION TO BE HAVING TO THIS.
TO BE HAVING TO HER FRIEND JAUNE who, let it be said, is doing her a pretty nice ass favour getting that stupid hair out of her face. ]

(This is all roughly occurring within the space of a few nanoseconds. Here, Rapunzel's brain stops to revel in how good this whole thing feels. She closes her eyes and shivers and smiles and - moans? That's embarrassing. ) ]

NOPE. Too much sensation. It's all way too much. The tension, the physical response, the emotional component (what even is that??) – nope. Rapunzel is officially NOPEing the fuck out of this situation. Without any warning whatsoever, she gasps and jerks back, pushing against Jaune's chest at the same time. ]
done. (see this. this is the kind of thing i'm genuinely sorry for)
In this case, that's: ] JauneIreallyliketouchingyoubutIthinkweshouldgonowokay!
proper use of keywords again
But she breaks it off, and even interrupts his thought process with that sudden outburst. ]
Did you just... [ Did he hear that right?? It's hard to misinterpret that no matter how loud and fast she says it, especially when it starts with his name which will automatically command his attention. Is he even rattled by any of that? ]
O-Okay. [ Okay to which part??? ]
...Tooo the cafeteria! [ Jaune starts walking backwards while he's still facing her because it's Cool (and it's difficult to take his eyes off her following that), until he elbows a lamp post which makes him jump and spin sharply towards it. ] --what the? Who put this thing here, seriously?!?
[ Yeah, he's rattled, hahahaha. ]
LMAO YOU'RE FILTHY
[ This is probably the worst decision she's made in a very long time. Worse than fish muffins. Worse than indoor archery. Worse than letting some ridiculous tsundere talk her into some ridiculous dinner party. ]
[ There is virtually NO SOUND as she follows after him - virtually none because there are a few students here and there weaving their way across campus. On any other day she might entertain herself with the idea that, heh, she probably knows some of these people and they might even remember her! That's awesome!!!
Not today. Today, right now, after "Is that a job I could get?" and whatever... Thing it was that just happened, Rapunzel only has brain power enough left to keep an extremely wide berth from Jaune as she basically stomps/storms past, rigid as a board and eyes FACING FORWARD.
After that she can't remember how to walk properly, tbh. ]
