[Jaune's so focused on her feet, and on doing a good job on them, that he doesn't even notice when she drifts off.]

Hey Velvet, is that too-

[That is, not until he looks up to ask her how it feels and notices her eyes have slipped shut.]

Uhhhhh... huh.

[He stops for a moment, staring down at his hands.]

Maybe I really do have magic fingers.

[And then he looks back at her sweet sleeping face, blushing deeply.]

...Do I keep going?

[And light sleeper she was as her ears perked and moved followed by her eyelids opening.]

Jaune? What are you--?

[And then it was very clear what had happened. Being so relaxed and falling asleep felt rather intimate given the circumstances.
Plus, Jaune was really cute, making Velvet's cheeks blush brighter.]

I'm! I'm really sorry about that. Falling asleep.

[Jaune freezes up at first when he sees her eyes fluttering open, and he quickly draws his hands back. Touching a girl while she's asleep could easily be interpreted the wrong way. But he relaxes when he sees the look on her face, and it only serves to deepen his own blush.]

H-hey, no sweat! I'm actually kind of glad I was doing such a good job.

[A pause.]

You're such a sweet guy, Jaune. Honest. Doing all of this for me.

[He pauses too for a moment, smiling a little sheepishly.]

Thanks for giving me a chance. I know this was probably a little much...

[There's a nervous little laugh as he slowly starts back in on the massage, sliding his fingers up the middle of her soles.]

...But I like you a lot, Velvet.

[He's staring straight at her feet when he admits it, though, unable to bring himself to look for the reaction on her face.]

...what?

[That's it. That's all she could manage to squeak out as her face turned beet red.]

I, uh...

[Jaune's head dips down even further, completely embarrassed at having said that out loud. His fingers move to her toes, idly playing with them in his nervousness.]

Hey, are you ticklish, Velvet?

[He can't say it again. He doesn't even know if she heard him right. Time to distract.]

[She heard exactly what he said.
Jaune said that he really liked her.

Yes, the boy can come across as somewhat of a buffoon. He hit on any girl that passed him by.
And yet Velvet rather admired his tenacious bravery and caring nature. Jaune could actually help defend a bully like Cardin. To her, that's what a hero should be.

But if he was embarrassed saying it again, Velvet was far from the type to press anyone out of their comfort zone.

Instead, she smiled and laughed softly, wiggling her toes a bit in his hands. She wasn't terribly ticklish, but she'd play along for his sake.]

[It's okay, he just has to build up his courage again. Tickling her toes is oddly calming him down somehow, and he laughs a little too as he watches them wiggling around. After about a minute, he stops, folding his fingers around them and giving them a tender squeeze. It's paired with a questioning but hopeful look to her face, but he still isn't saying anything.]

[She simply smiled, keeping her eyes at his hands around her feet.]

Would you ever let me do this for you? Return the favor?

[Slowly, he starts rubbing at them again, smiling shyly back at her.]

For me? A massage, you mean?

[He hadn't expected that sort of offer, but he seems quietly overjoyed.]

Yeah, sure! My shoulders get pretty sore from all the combat training.

I can do that now for you.

[She proped herself on her elbows, but kept staring at his hands.]

I want to do that for you.

Really?

[He straightens up, unable to stop grinning.]

You don't want me to finish your massage first?

You don't have to finish unless you want to. I don't mind either way.
I just want to help you.

Hey, when else am I gonna get the chance to give a cutie like you a foot rub?

[Jaune winks at her, moving his thumbs up the middle of her sole as he rolls them over the sore spots.]

I'm the luckiest guy in school to be here with you like this, so I'm gonna do this right.

[She sits there.
Frozen.

Maybe he didn't realize what he said, but Velvet certainly did and no matter what, she always had a hard time being the center of attention.]

Uh, sorry. Was that too much?

[He's having a hard time moderating himself in the face of a girl who might actually be interested in him.]

[She shifted a bit nervously. Watching Jaune hit on other girls was different than being the recipient of it.
Especially never having attention like that before.]

It was sweet... but unexpected. I mean, um... I do think you're cute, Jaune.

So... a good surprise?

[There's a hopeful smile on his face as he moves up to massage her toes again, taking each one between his fingers and rolling them back and forth gently.]

Because I think you're cute too, Velvet. From head to toe.

[Evidently his confidence is back if he's able to make dumb puns like that, tickling at the tips of her toes and tweaking them back and forth.]

[It was so cheesy and lame that yes, she couldn't help but giggle.]

Mm... maybe we could take it a bit slow. Slower.
Getting to know one another?

[Immediately Velvet covered her red face. He thought she was cute and she just asked him on a date.]

[There we go. He was starting to worry.]

Yeah. Slow sounds good to me.

[She's in good company with the blushing, though. And he's about finished up with the massage, too.]

Anytime your feet are sore, though, you can give me a call, okay?

[One more dumb sentimental gesture as he raises a finger to his lips, pressing it to the tips of her toes.]

Thanks again, Velvet. For seeing the real me.

[The Jaune behind the dumb lines and awkward behavior. The Jaune that genuinely cares.]

I like the real Jaune a lot.

[Wiggling her toes, Velvet would still never feel comfortable by the attention. Although his smiling face made it worth it.]

Can I massage you still?

I'm glad.

[He laughs, watching her toes wiggling cutely. And with one last little squeeze, he lets them go.]

Yeah, sure! I'm definitely not gonna turn down an offer like that.

[...]

Do, uh... do you want me to take my shirt off, or...

[Immediately, she pulled her legs up and held her knees to her chest.]

Your...

[To be fair, Jaune did have a very nice body shape, but...]

Y-y-you do what's comfortable.

[...admitting she's looked at him like that felt so crude.]
