Yang barely slept the previous night, and now she was at the arena watching Jaune prepare to spar with her sister Ruby.

She saw Pyrrha giving him a few tips and felt incredible guilty as the Spartan gave a bright smile to the knight. She was one of many rooting for the duo to get together, but now she couldn't help but feel jealous, wishing it was her there, sharing smiles with him. The brawler spent the night awake trying to convince herself that she wasn't in love with him, and that she just saw him as a good friend to explain her physical attraction towards him.

It didn't work at all.

All she could think was about his gentle nature, his dedication, his silliness. All of that made him even more attractive to her, and she couldn't believe she never stopped to see him that way before. The more she thought about him, the more in love she felt she was. But now all she wanted was to go there and tell him, yet she couldn't do it because Pyrrha also was an important friend to Yang.

The Spartan on the other hand couldn't be happier as she helped Jaune fixing his armor in place. He was finally confident and happy, and seemed calm and collected, everything she wished for when they started training together. But in special she couldn't help not noticing the gentle eyes he was casting upon her, filled with gratitude and caring. If she was alone, she probably would spoke her heart towards him on the spot, maybe even planted a kiss on his lips. The very thought made her cheeks gain a pretty pink tint.

"OK, big bro, are you ready to rumble?" Ruby shouted as she made a flourish with her Crescent Rose.

"You know, sis, I am really worried about you being too happy in using your death deliverer weapon on me." He answered as he approached the center of the arena, way less excited than his honorary little sister. Glynda was there to act as a judge and avoid her students of causing collateral damage, something she was sure wasn't in the description of her job.

"We will follow tournament rules, Miss Rose. So please avoid hurting your friend. Mr. Arc, this is just training, so it would better if you go easy too, you still need to get used to your Semblance."

"Understood, Ms. Goodwitch." They both said at the same time before exchanging a handshake and a playful wink.

They got in position and the teacher signalized the start. Ruby used her Semblance to close the distance and attacked Jaune with the back of her scythe, but the knight already had lifted his Aura shield and deflected the attack. Ruby started firing against him while keeping distance, but the Aura shield also deflected the Dust rounds as the blonde boy closed against her, and once close enough they started sharing blows.

"Go Invincible Leader!" Nora cheered her team leader as energetically as ever.

"How she can win if that Aura bubble negates all of her attacks?" Blake wondered as every time the reaper found an opening Jaune would rise the Aura shield, that enveloped all of him, leaving no blind spots.

"She can win if she keeps attacking. No matter how big his Aura reserves are that bubble consumes lots of it." Weiss stated, and they looked at the monitor to notice that Jaune's Aura was in fact depleting faster than usual, and more importantly, faster than Ruby's.

"If he could focus that shield on the needed places, he wouldn't spend so much Aura. But considering he just discovered his Semblance yesterday, he is performing quite well." Pyrrha couldn't hide the pride in her voice.

Jaune knew he would not win that spar if he kept defending, and that his Aura was going to run out sooner than later. He was hesitating in using his Aura blade because he didn't wanted to hurt his friend, but he wanted to win, so he used his shield to create an opening by pushing his shield against the reaper, and as she gave him space, he trusted his sword enveloped in Aura, and hit her left leg, cutting her stocking and making a shallow cut. As he saw the blood he stopped the attack.

"Are you OK, Rubes?" His voice was filled with worry, but the girl seemed to not care.

"'Tis but a scratch. My Aura is healing it already." She showed her leg and the cut closed as she applied her aura on it.

"It is clear that you applying your own Aura on your sword made it able to surpass Miss Rose's own protective Aura. While not enough to deal a fatal blow on another student, I think it would be wise if you get better control on it." Glynda said and both teens put their weapons away. The teacher smiled and patted Jaune. "Your progress is admirable, Mr. Arc, and I am sure you will perform great on the combat test."

"I won't disappoint you, Ms. Goodwitch." He answered and she smiled softly again, before leaving. Soon he was surrounded by his friends, most speaking at the same time. "Yeah, yeah. Hey, Ren, do you have time to teach me about Aura control again? I really need to get the hang of this."

"Certainly, Jaune." The black haired boy smiled. It was nice to see his friend eagerness to learn.

"Once you get the hang of it, Jaune, I am sure you will be one of the best fighters in our year." Pyrrha praised him, and he blushed and scratched the back of his head. He still couldn't handle praise very well, but being able to make his partner proud was a good feeling.

"I will be happy enough if people stop thinking you deserve a better partner than me." His statement made Pyrrha a bit sad, and she cupped his cheek gently.

"You said before, we will always be partners. There is no other one I would want by my side then you." He smiled at her and hold her hand gentle with his.

"Wait, where is Yang?" Blake asked as she noticed an utterly lack of teasing over a moment shared between the knight and the Spartan.

…

The brawler couldn't stay there.

The realization of her feelings made it hard to see Jaune and Pyrrha sharing a moment like that, not when all she could think was snapping him from the redhead's hands and into her own. She was so distracted by her dilemma that she didn't notice the small Prof. Peach on the way and almost ran over the petit girl. The teacher felt on her butt and left a cute yelp out.

"Oh heavens, I am sorry Rouge!" Yang helped the teacher up, and she just shook her head.

"It is o-okay, Y-Yang." While the teacher got full of confidence in class, she still acted shyly outside it. "Is s-something t-troubling you?"

"No! No, I am okay…"

"You don't l-look o-okay. W-wanna t-talk?" The cute teacher said, and Yang couldn't resist that level of cuteness and just nodded, following the petit teacher to her lab.

The teacher cleaned the mess her lab was the best and quickest she could, making Yang suppress a giggle as seeing her doing it was incredible adorable. After cleaning enough space they sat and the teacher got them some tea before resuming the talk.

"So…"

"Ugh… It is just… Do you… Look, imagine that a good friend of yours is saving money to buy a necklace; one that at first you think it is not that great. But then you give it a second look and started to like it, and you can buy it, but you don't want to because it would hurt your friend."

"Can't you t-two s-share?"

Yang stopped and thought about it. Sure she knew people that tried it and failed, and others that seemingly achieved happiness in that type of relationship. The brawler liked Pyrrha enough to consider it, but she was sure that both Pyrrha and especially an old fashioned person like Jaune would never even consider that. And after longing for the knight so long, Yang was pretty sure the redhead girl would actually dread the thought.

"I don't think we can…"

"Had you t-talked with P-Pyrrha and J-Jaune yet?"

"I can't just go to… wait… WHAT?"

Yang stared at the smiling professor and her mind went blank. She couldn't imagine of all people that the cute little girl was the one to notice her problems, and especially before Yang herself realized her own feelings. Now the blonde girl could only imagine that everyone else noticed it and she started to panic. She couldn't even imagine what everyone would say to her if they realize how she was feeling. Rouge put a hand over hers and calmed the brawler down.

"Y-Yang, I don't t-think anybody n-noticed yet."

"What gave me away?"

"You l-looked at him s-sometimes e-exactly like P-Pyrrha do. It is e-easier to me to see f-from the f-front."

"I want to die…" The blonde girl covered her face with her hands as the teacher patted her back. "I can't just go talk to them about this. I will just... ignore this feeling till it goes away."

"I don't t-think this is a g-good i-idea. Don't b-bottle up your f-feelings." The teacher tried to advise the brawler, but apparently that was in vain.

"Thanks, Rouge, but it is better this way, so I will just endure till this stupid crush goes away. I just need to keep them clueless for a while. It is not like any of them would even think I am interested in Jaune or anyone would just tell them."

…

"So, Glyn, we want to visit our little brother..." Maika stated over the video link. Glynda just dreaded the possibility of dealing with the Arc sisters when so close of the spring break and she could finally rest a little instead of trying to avoid them to destroy the school.

But then, someone had the brilliant idea to equip teenagers with weapons.

"No."

"Come on, it is just a few days and we want to deliver a gift to him before the spring break."

"Last time the seven of you came we ended up with four students on the med bay, a few thousands of lien in damages and I am pretty sure you all have something to do with the missing bell we used to sign the time between classes." As usual, Maika kept her poker face over the serious yet very true accusations from the blonde teacher.

"Come on, Glyn. I am even calling beforehand so you can prepare. We promise we won't create more havoc than usual."

"I would love if no havoc is created at all, and nobody can be prepared enough for you all. But, since I know if I don't make a concession I run the risk of you coming here anyway, here the deal: only one of you can come."

"That is evil, Glynda. My sisters will be very disappointed when they discover only I can come."

"Who said it is you that will come? There is one Arc sister I know won't cause unneeded grievance over her stay. Our put everyone at risk"

…

Yang rejoined the group later on, more collected and calm this time. She avoided too much interaction with Jaune, but that just made Pyrrha interact with him more, aggravating that feeling of jealousy that the brawler had, that desire to do the same. Yet she tried her best to not show it to her friends, as she simple decided that those feelings would go away sooner than later.

That didn't bother Pyrrha as she spent a lot of time with Jaune, sadly most not spent alone, since one thing it was clear is that Ruby and Nora would need more than one person to supervise them when together. Now they were trying to convince everyone that they didn't needed a giant robot. Better than the idea of pet Grimm, at least.

"But what if we are fighting giant Grimm?" Ruby asked as she was already drawing schematics of her dust powered fifty meters high death machine.

"I am pretty sure a big ass canon would solve that." Jaune said and the two girls was about to ask but he cut them first. "We don't have the resources to make one."

"Hey, Weiss have! Weiss! Can you lend some lien so we can make a big ass canon? We will allow you to fire it first!" Nora asked and Weiss rolled her eyes.

"Of course not! You two already cause damage enough alone. Besides, I am pretty sure that throwing either of you at a giant Grimm would give us the same result."

"Oh, a human canon! That might work too!" Nora concluded causing general concern as Ruby already started drawing the catapult until a pleasant music filled the air. Jaune looked at his scroll and saw he received a message from one of his sisters. That could be good news or bad news.

"Uh, one of my sisters is coming to spend the rest of our school days together. Weird, they don't say which one."

They were talking about which of his sisters were coming to visit when both Pyrrha and Yang's scroll beeped and they both reacted quite similar to the message, with very flushed faces. On the scroll, the exact same message for the two girls.

'I am going to visit tomorrow. Don't tell Jauney. Are you dating my brother yet? Dia Arc.'

"Yang, are you OK?" Blake concerned as she saw her partner's face going to fully red to pale in a matter of seconds.

"Yes, of course, why I wouldn't be?" Yang lied as she wondered how exactly to deal with the little Arc sister. Dia was a sweetheart, but she was convinced (truthfully) that both Pyrrha and the brawler were in love with her brother and was eager to bring the issue at the most random moments, and now the brawler was pretty sure she could not deny as easily her own feelings.

"You have being acting weird since morning. I am your partner, Yang, and if something is troubling you, I want to help." The black haired girl said and the brawler felt relieved a bit, as she knew she could count with the Faunus girl.

"Aww, thanks, kitten. I promise you will be the first to know if something is wrong." Yang put her partner into a headlock and caressed her cat ears. Blake stopped hiding them after they took down the White Fang. Yet she tried her hardest to escape the grip of the blonde girl.

…

"So, great leader, whose sister you imagine will come?" Nora asked that night as they prepared to sleep. "Oh, I hope it is Chia! Chia is a lot of fun with her poltergeist powers!"

"It is telekinesis, Nora, and I hope it isn't her. Or Micaela. Honestly, if I am lucky it will be Dia." Pyrrha let a small yelp out over the mention of the girl. "Are you OK?"

"Yeah, just some back pain…" She lied and Jaune moved closer to her and put his hands on her back. She felt it fully as she was wearing just her night wear and let out another yelp as her face flushed red.

"Relax. I will try to fix it." Jaune moved his hands and fingers gently by Pyrrha's back and she left out a happy sigh as she relaxed, both ignoring the knowing looks from Ren and Nora.

"Jaune… I know you might want to go to your home this spring break, but… I was wondering… Would you like to spend a few days with me in Mistral?" The girl decided that would be a good opportunity to reveal her feelings towards the knight if she could take him to her home, away from her friends.

"That would be awesome. But my sisters won't forgive me if I don't go to Arctown too, so how about we go to Mistral and before coming back to Beacon we visit my family?" Pyrrha turned and gave a tight hug on him, mostly to hide her incredible happy face.

"Thank you!" She giggled happily.

And you all probably know what to expect by now, so…

"OH, so how about after Mistral and before Jaune-Jaune kingdom we go visit Renny's village! We can all travel together and meet everyone's family and eat all the foods!" Nora shouted loudly and jumped around. Before they could answer the door opened and Ruby appeared in her sleep wear.

"If you are doing it you all should spend a week with Yang and me in Patch and I don't take a no for an answer!"

"How do you even know what we were discussing?" Ren questioned as he was pretty sure Nora's shouts couldn't cross the door and the hall plus RWBY's door.

"Not important! Nora, Pyrrha, girl's night at my room as we plan the best spring break in the history of EVER!"

The two girls grabbed Pyrrha and disappeared inside RWBY's room, where a bit of shouting and yelling could be heard. Jaune and Ren stared at each other for a second before the dark haired boy closed the door. Whatever they were planning it was better have nothing to do with it.

"I think we don't have much saying on this, right?" Jaune stated and Ren nodded. "I thought so. Wanna play Battle of Duty?"

"Sure."

…

So, at the morning Jaune and Ren were informed that they would travel to Patch first to enjoy the spring festival, which Ruby and Yang affirmed to be awesome. Then they would spend the following week in Ren's village to enjoy the lunar New Year. Nora and Ren seemed happy at that, and both said they would love the fireworks and food. Next would be a week in Mistral and its paradisiacal beaches of clean water and white sands. The girls were happy about that, except Pyrrha that wished some alone time with Jaune. She was just happy he would come with her anyway. Jaune just said they probably would spend most of their time at Arctown wasting time and causing mindless destruction. The boy just accepted that there was no way to behave when his sisters and his friends were all together.

But now they had more pressing matter to attend.

"I still think it will be Goldie, we have a score to settle." Ruby said referring to her rivalry with Noir Arc.

"Oh, but Micaela is funnier! Especially when she pair up with Yang!" Nora said and everyone cringed. That would be the worst outcome ever.

"Yang, you seem a bit off…" Pyrrha asked to the brawler and she just waved as it was nothing, yet the Spartan seemed concerned as the usual cheerful blonde looked a bit down. She was about to inquire further but a yellow clad and blonde haired girl tackled Jaune to the ground.

"Big bro!"

"Morning to you too, Dia…" He said with a smile as he got up with his youngest sister clinging on him.

"I missed you so much! It has being…" She started counting with her fingers. "…two months! Eight whole weeks! Sixty days since I saw you last time!"

They all laughed a bit at the duo as Dia kept complaining how much she misses Jaune and how he don't go visit often enough. Then she started telling everything he missed from town despite them calling him almost every day. Jaune finally was able to make the girl stop talking when he petted her hair, making her giggle.

"So, what bring my adorable little sister to beacon this time?"

"Oh, I brought a present." She said and there was a relieved sigh from Pyrrha and Yang as it seemed to completely have forgotten… "And of course I am here to make you date Pyrrha and-slash-or Yang."

There was no red as red as their face right now.

…

A.N.: Since Pyrrha being in love with Jaune is not something I need to work on, I will work a bit more on Yang's side, though next chapter will be more eventful than this one.
