Hot For Teacher

The Prompt: "Pyrrha has a fetish for authority" Silent S

Response:

Jaune was incredibly nervous. Granted, he was just teaching a single cooking class for preparing simple meals in the field, but still. Speaking to his team, and giving orders was one thing. They were his friends, and they were familiar with each other. Doing it in front of a much wider group of people, even if some of them were his friends, was going to be a bit more of a challenge.

The Arc sighed as he organized his lesson plan. This mostly consisted of a slide show detailing what various herbs and spices looked like in the wild. And a few things on how to properly prepare meat by fire, how to tell if it's completely cooked, etc.

The only real problem that he was running into at the moment was the fact that Ozpin would not let him teach any knife work to the class; something about insurance and liability…

'Sure, he can hurtle student off a cliff face, and into a forest of deadly Grimm, but I can't teach students how to julienne a carrot?' Jaune wondered in amazement, 'Adults are weird.'

However, the Arc scion was bound and determined to overcome this obstacle by having the class cook a simple recipe that was absolutely vital to work out in the field.

The blonde gave a sudden start when the sound of student chatter broke him from his introspection. He looked up to see his class filing in to take their seats. There was his team of course, taking their usual seats in Port's class toward the middle of the center tier of seats.

Team RWBY was next, taking seats next to his own team, and sending him winks and thumbs up. Blake even looked up from her book to wave. He felt a little honored at that.

The last team to enter was a surprise both because they were the last ones to enter, and of who they were.

"Velvet?! What are you and your team doing here? Second years have a free period this period!"

Coco was kind enough to answer for her. "Hey, Blondie! Yeah, we had a free period, and we were kinda bored, so we thought we would come hang out, and see if you could teach a class better than Port."

"Okay, that doesn't explain why you guys are the last ones here, when you don't even have this class…"

Yang took a moment to look up from the fighting game she was playing on her scroll to offer an explanation, "Yeah, CRDL found out you were teaching this class for Port, so they told everyone else, who are now chillin' in their dorms or something."

Jaune resisted the urge to palm his face, but only barely, "That's okay. When I submit the attendance, all of them will just be marked absent. Joke's on them…"

Yang just shrugged as she went back to her game. Jaune tried not to sigh as he submitted the official attendance for this class period. He hadn't even started teaching yet and already he was off to a rough start.

"Okay everyone, listen up! Today you will be learning to identify various herbs and spices that you can use out in the field for cooking. I've also thrown in a few that are poisonous so you know not to eat them. The first part of class will be a slide-show detailing what the herbs and spices look like, along with what they are good for. The second half of class is a surprise."

His audience seemed at least mildly curious at that, so after an encouraging smile from his partner, Jaune took a deep breath and dimmed the lights to begin his slide-show…

It went about as well as he expected. Ren and Pyrrha seemed rather interested, and seemed to be taking noted attentively, despite the fact they had heard him give this lecture for the last week. He was deeply appreciative and resolved to do something nice for them later.

Blake was also taking notes dutifully, unbothered by the darkness of the room. Being a Faunus had its perks. Yang and Nora were currently cuddled up against each other, sleeping. Ruby was drawing something, and Weiss was…filing her nails.

Team CFVY was all surprisingly attentive considering that they didn't even have to be here. Yatsuhashi was calmly explaining the descriptions in the slides to Fox, while Velvet and Coco took detailed notes. Coco then ran them through a program on her scroll that would translate them to Brail for her partner to be able to read later. That was impressive teamwork.

'I wonder if I can give them a special commendation in their file for being impressive or something…' the Arc scion mused.

Once the slide-show was over, Jaune turned the lights back on, and as if by magic, each of the gathered teens immediately tried their best to look as attentive as possible, as though Jaune could not see them when the lights were down. Nora and Yang even woke up.

Except for Weiss.

She was still doing her nails.

Jaune began to grind his teeth. Honestly, if it wasn't for the attentiveness of his team and CFVY, the blonde was certain he would snap.

"Okay guys, I hope everyone paid attention to the slides because Professor Port will be giving a quiz next class. Now on to the fun part. Practical demonstration! I'm sure you've all noticed the oven behind me, as well as the large box on it. This is the surprise."

Jaune paused for a moment to try building the suspense. Everyone seemed attentive, except for Weiss, though Jaune was trying his best to ignore that.

"Now for some reason the school won't let me teach you knife work, despite the fact we are all attending a combat school. Go figure. So, instead, I thought we would make a fun easy recipe that is always handy to have in the field for morale."

The blonde lifted the box, doing his best to pause for the drama of the thing, before declaring "Tada! Today, class, we will be learning how to bake chocolate chip cookies!"

Yatsuhashi raised his hand, "Excuse me, Professor Arc, but why cookies?"

In answer, Jaune gestured to Ruby, who was in fact, at that moment stuffing several cookies into her mouth, while sipping from a discreet flask of what Jaune knew to be milk based on the mustache that now decorated her lips.

When she noticed all the attention on her, the red reaper gave a nervous smile and a large gulp, effectively ending the existence of another innocent cookie community. The girl gave a nervous chuckle as she hurriedly slipped her flask back into her bag.

Everyone just kept staring.

"What?!" the reaper asked defensively, "It was a birthday present form my Uncle Qrow!"

"Anyway," Jaune went on, "While you can clearly see that knowing how to make cookies is an essential skill if you are on a team with Ruby, cookies are also great to have out in the field. Chocolate releases oxytocin into the brain, which causes happiness and joy. This is good for helping ward off Grimm."

Th others predictably looked interested at that. Even Weiss looked up from her nails.

"So today, we won't just be learning how to make any cookies! Today, I will teach you how to make my grandmother's special Arc family recipe, Triple Chocolate Cookies!"

The girls all looked suitably impressed. Nora and Pyrrha were of course paying attention. He even saw his partner drooling a little to accompany the rather glazed look in her eyes. Jaune wasn't surprised though. That's just what she did when chocolate was involved.

Ren, Blake, and Yang were paying attention, of course. Ruby seemed intensely focused, in a way that she rarely got about anything other than weapons.

Even the boys of Team CFVY seemed eager to learn, no doubt recognizing the benefits of adding this vital life skill.

Of course, the only one that wasn't impressed, or even trying to pay attention was Weiss, who had given up even the polite pretense of eye contact to stand in a huff and haughtily declare, "This is foolish Arc! Cooking has nothing to do with fighting Grimm! And no special chocolate cookie is going to repel Grimm either!"

Everyone stared at her in shock. Weiss never lost her cool like that, at least not with an authority figure. Ruby was glaring death, undoubtedly for speaking heresy about cookies.

Jaune was livid. Weiss had been rude, uncooperative, and condescending, and generally showed him no respect at all. Granted, that was really no different from any of their other interactions, but this was different. He had worked hard all week putting together a lesson plan to teach something he was passionate about that was actually important to survival in the field. But that wasn't the hammer that broke the Ursa's back.

Weiss had insulted Grammy Arc.

This could not be borne.

Jaune's face was a rictus of barely contained fury as he coldly declared in a menacing tone, "I am your teacher Ms. Schnee. While I am not paid to be here, my performance is dependent on your own. That makes this the most complicated employer-employee relationship that doesn't involve a dominatrix or paying .99 Lien a minute to have a stranger tell you they love you. I worked on this lesson plan for over a week. Now you will park your combat skirted rear in that chair, shut up, and by Oum you will learn something even if I need to have Pyrrha beat you over the head with my lesson plan to accomplish it! Do you understand me?"

The young heiress gave a shaky nod before sitting down in her seat under the watchful glares of Pyrrha and Ruby, who both looked as if they dearly wanted to carry out Jaune's threat. 'Considering how many cookies Ruby eats, perhaps learning to use the Food Room is a good idea,' Weiss mused.

With that settled, Jaune finally got everyone started.

The class was soon awash in the sounds of pouring, measuring, stirring, and in Nora's case, tasting. Ren had given up keeping her from the bowl, and just gave her an extra one with chocolate chips as a distraction.

Ruby was busy measuring and pouring ingredients with a concentration and precision that left Jaune in awe. If he didn't know better, he would have sworn she was making Dust rounds. Or cooking industrial size batches of very pure drugs.

Eventually, the cookies were ready to go in the oven, each team getting a tray of their own. Ruby and Pyrrha waited by the oven like over eager puppies, trying to will the cookies to bake faster.

Soon, the cookies were being enjoyed by all, and everyone cleaned up their stations and got ready to leave. Jaune wasn't surprised when Pyrrha offered to stay back to help him take everything to the kitchen to wash. He was surprised when he heard the distinct sound of the door locking, accompanied by the distinct flash of his partner's semblance.

He became immediately nervous when he noticed the gleam in his partner's eye along with the sway of her hips as she walked toward him. He gulped as she sent him a sultry smile, tracing her finger along his chest. She applied the slightest pressure, and he immediately collapsed down into his chair.

"Uh, what's up, Pyr?"

The redhead shot him another sultry smile as she retrieved a bowl apparently still filled with some melted chocolate from earlier. She began to unbutton his shirt, still smiling.

"Would you like to know something I learned today, other than how to identify mint in the wild, Professor?"

'How can Pyrrha addressing me with my title sound so wrong and so right at the same time?' Jaune wondered.

Jaune let out a squeak that Pyrrha took as a 'yes'.

"Besides the fact that I really like chocolate, I learned that I have a thing for blonde haired, blue eyed authority figures."

Jaune did his best to clear his throat and sound authoritative, "R-really?"

Pyrrha gave a sultry purr as she finally undid the last of his shirt buttons. Jaune nearly swallowed his tongue when she started on his belt buckle next.

"Mm hm. And you know what else? I really like chocolate, but what would make me like it even more is if we took turns licking it off each other's naked bodies."

This was a strange time for Pyrrha to decide she wanted to add role playing to their extra-curricular relationship, but who was he to complain. That was the last class of the day, and Pyrrha had locked that door so well, no one was getting in even if they had a key.

"Well Ms. Nikos, are you ready for some intensive tutoring?"

Pyrrha gave him an absolutely wicked smile, and a brief peck on the lips, before she stood up, and let her blouse fall to the floor.

Jaune had a final moment of conscious thought, before he became engrossed in a very hands-on teaching experience, 'I wonder if this is covered in Beacon's insurance policy?'

Once Pyrrha reached for the chocolate, Jaune decided he no longer cared.
