"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]"

not here: some time after the event and things have cooled down

[ It's taken a decent amount of time to track down where Jaune lives, mostly because he can't simply ask Rapunzel about it without her getting suspicious and doing something crazy again. It's safer this way. While Jaune is out one day (not with the girl in question) he'll find that a letter has been tucked under his door.

It reads as below: ]

Jaune,

I wasn't sure how to put any of this into words, so I decided to write you a letter instead. You've been here for me since the start and I really appreciate that I mean who wouldn't but I wanted you to know how special you are. Especially to me Anyway!

When we talked about being the half of the other before I was thinking about it and isn't that like being soulmates? I don't think I've ever understood someone as much as I understand you. What do you think? I hope you return my feelings.

There's so much I want to say to you, but try to not mention this letter. I think I'll be embarrassed, and I may hit you again.

-Rapunzel

[ Is someone trying to be an awful matchmaker? Probably... Sorry, Jaune. ]

not here 1/???

[beaconed]

[ Oh, wow, an old-fashioned letter! That's so reminiscent of the first letter he received from Rapunzel in school. It was the first time he met her outside of ViViD, but things weren't any less crazy and exciting even if they weren't fighting or running from monsters at the time.

No, their conflict was a different one, one within their kokoros.

And then things just got stranger... ]

[beaconed]

[ Oh yeah, he should fucking read this letter instead of getting all nostalgic, lol. Right. Here we go. Reading! ]

"...I wanted to know how special you are..."

...She wants to know how special I am? That's... o-oh, oops, yeah, I, heh, I misread that. I wanted you to know-- yeah, okay, that... that makes more sense. I'm an idiot, heh...

[ READING ON... ]

[beaconed]

[ Whoa. That second paragraph... ]

She... s-soulmates... feelings??

Hnnnnnnggggghhhhhhh.

[ Jaune sprints a lap around the apartment. It's an explosive run, too, running at top speed and knocking down a plant before leaping on his couch.

Shit, shit, shit, gotta stay calm and finish the letter!!! Which he does now, holding it up with the goofiest grin as he remains standing on his couch. ]

[beaconed]

[ That third paragraph is definitely something Rapunzel would say. This is no joke letter, no way. ]

W... Wait, I... wha... w-what am I supposed to... how can I respond if I can't mention this...

[beaconed]

...
Maybe I should call Yang.

[ Suddenly has flashbacks to all the other times he called Yang about these problems, including the last time he saw her about it she kicked him out of her place. ]

...
Maybe I should call Weiss.

[ lmao. ]

[beaconed]

[ Finally, he plops down on his ruined couch and re-reads the letter a thousand times with a smile on his face. How could this happen to him? Jaune Arc?

SIIIIGH. ]

Rapunzel...

done i guess

[beaconed]

[ Now? Now he's lying down on his couch. And he kisses the letter. ]

..........

[ And he's glad he's alone because that felt weird as soon as he did it. Don't kiss letters you freak. ]
