Chapter 3: Growing Bonds

Yang POV

I was walking to the cafeteria to meet Griffin for dinner. When I arrived he was leaning against the wall of the building waiting for Yang. I walked up to him and noticed that he was in his uniform and that I have to say he looks pretty damn good in it. Suddenly I was very nervous despite this just being dinner at the school cafeteria. "Hey Griffin how are you feeling?"

"Pretty good now that you're here; by the way you're looking pretty good right now in that uniform."

"You too handsome." I lean in close and places my hand on his chest and look up at him making both of us blush. The two of us walk into the cafeteria and grab some food when the two of us look around for a place to sit and I see team jnpr. "I can introduce you to team jnpr come on." I grab onto Griffins arm and drag him over to the table and we sit down together. He introduces himself to team jnpr and they do the same while this is happening I think to myself. 'Thank god I don't think I could've made it through dinner alone with Griffin; he just makes me so nervous.' Yang sighs which catches your attention.

Griffin's POV

"Yang you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine just tired… by the way how are you able to swing that massive sword?"

"Oh it's easy you just need to do pushups, situps, and drink plenty of juice." I had a big stupid grin on my face as Yang laughed at my dumb joke. "Sorry I just couldn't resist. I'm actually a descendant of an old warrior tribe who used to live in Atlas before they were all killed by a massive grimm attack. That's besides the point though the tribe was described as a clan of raging demons who only lived to kill the grimm. They would begin training the children at a very young age at one of Atlases many tundras; but they would train like crazy so much that they would gain inhuman abilities. They were also born with a sort of berserk mode that increased their strength, speed, agility, and all of their senses but at a horrible cost to their bodies. I'm not sure if that part is true or not my dad told me that it's true before our village was attacked." Yang was amazed at the story but she was confused towards the end of the story.

"Your village I thought you were general Ironwoods son?"

"I am but he adopted me when I was 15 I lived on the streets for about 10 years I even started a gang with some of the others who lived in my village most of them are also descendants of our clan." Everyone was astonished at my past but they realized that they shouldn't pry any deeper. The others told me about their past and I listened intently to all of them. After we all finished eating we put our trays away and walked back to the dorms together. When I reached their dorms I said goodnight and went to my room. I undress and lie down on my bed and fall asleep. In the middle of the night I started having a very interesting dream about Yang; it was very sexually charged and when I woke up I looked down. "Oh great my other sword is ready for battle."

I heard a knocking on my door so I went and got the door to see it was Yang. "Hey Ozpin asked me to wake you up and show you to class today. By the way nice hard on." I looked down again and saw that my "blade" was still "unsheathed". I laughed nervously "Man first you see me shirtless and now this sorry I'll start getting ready." I walked into the bathroom and started taking a shower, while I was in there Yang sat on my bed blushing and not knowing what to think of things right now. After five minutes I got out, dried off, and then got dressed in the bathroom I stepped out of the bathroom to see Yang waiting. "Alright let's go."

I reached my first class which was with professor Port my seat was next to ruby who started copying my answer to today's assignment but I didn't mind. My next class was with professor Oobleck who I really enjoyed due to his wacky nature. I sat next to Yang which made Ruby mad because she couldn't cheat off of me it was pretty funny because I did it entirely to spite her. I thought Yang was going to do her work herself until she also started cheating, I sighed and let it happen. The next note worthy class was with I sat right between Ruby and Yang so they could both cheat off me; but wasn't having any of that shit she actually set our papers on fire scaring the three of us she then had us start over. Right before class was about to end told everyone about a group project she then randomly started picking groups of 3 but because of an uneven amount of students Yang and I were the only group of two. We had to write a report about a type of grimm and their behavior we would then have to present it we had three days to get it done, Yang and I picked beowolves thinking they would be easy to do a report on. After class ended we went to the library and checked out as many books as possible but I was only able to get 5 books. We then went back to your room to work in peace.

Both you sat in my room looking through the books mostly skimming because neither of us cared about this at the moment. Yang yawned and lied down using my leg as a pillow. "Hey Griffin have you ever had a girlfriend before?"

"Yeah one but besides that the closest thing to it was the arrangement with Weiss but besides that no, what about you?"

"No my dad wouldn't let I haven't even had my first kiss yet." I look up from my book and grin I then quickly lean in and kiss Yang right on her lips. The kiss felt like it was lasting for years but only lasted about two seconds. "There you go your wish has been granted." Yang was stunned by the bold move but she enjoyed it.

The next day I started writing the report while Yang kept reading. "Hey Griffin what do you find attractive in a girl?"

I smile and look at her. "Fun strong girls with long hair like yours. What do you find attractive in a guy?"

She looks away embarrassed. "Strong powerful guys who will always have my back during a fight and they have to be cute like you." She scooted over to me and sat on my lap making my face turn a deep red she then kissed my cheek making me even more embarrassed.

It was the third and final day to work on the project and we were done we just had to practice. When Yang sat down she was leaning right against my arm which was making it hard to focus. When we finished practicing I looked at Yang. "Hey Yang do you like me as more than a friend?" She was caught off guard by this and instead of saying anything she just pulled me in for a kiss which gave me my answer. I wrapped arms around her and held her tightly, after 30 seconds of kissing I pulled away so we could breathe. "Congrats you've been here for four days and I've already fallen for you." Yang nuzzled into my chest with a large smile across her face.
