Yang read over the message on her scroll again and again. Pyrrha doesn't want to date Jaune it read. She wasn't sure what believe, Yang hoped Ruby wasn't trying to play a prank on her. Why would she? Ruby knew how much this meant to Yang. The brawler let out a little sigh.
She'd dated guys before of course, but with Jaune it was different. She didn't want Jaune because of some stupid reason. No she wanted Jaune because of who he was. There had been times in the past where Yang had gone with a guy for his body. She didn't like to admit that fact but it was true. That just wasn't the case with Jaune, she wanted Jaune because he was nice, caring, strong even he didn't realize it yet, and most of all she wanted Jaune because he didn't want her for her body. Nearly every guy at BEACON had tried to hit on Yang because of her body.
"Look Jaune, I don't his training is goanna kill you." Ren said. Ren and Jaune were in their room. In a rare moment Ren was without Nora. Jaune threw himself back on his bed. "Have you ever ran with weights on your legs? It's not fun." Jaune complained. Ren shook his head at his leader. "He gave you the option to quit." Jaune gave Ren a defiant glare. "I'm not quitting. I won't give up. If I can do this, then what good am I?" Ren sighed. "You can do it Jaune. Just don't over exert yourself. You lasted for an alright amount of time in your fight today considering you were fighting Ruby." Jaune sighed. "She is so freaking fast it's not even fair." Ren gave his leader a small smile. "She not invincible Jaune, maybe on day you might be able to beat her." Jaune gave Ren a look and said "I doubt that. I haven't seen Ruby lose to any except Pyrrha, and even she had problems beating Ruby." Jaune said. "Yang might be able to, but they never have fought" Ren added. "Is it just me or is their team over powered?" Jaune asked. "I don't think it's that simple. Ozpin always does things for a reason." Ren said. "He launched us off a cliff…" Jaune said. "For the purpose of seeing if we were ready. He doesn't do things just for laughs."
They saw the door opening and noticed a red head with a few shopping bags. "Hey Pyrrha." Jaune said. "Hello Jaune, are you ready for training up on the roof?" The amazon asked politely. "Yeah. Once again thanks for helping me with my training." The blonde said with a slight smile. "Of course Jaune, I'm happy to help." Pyrrha left the bags on her bed and the two went training.
Jaune was breathing pretty heavily. Training with Pyrrha was tough, but she taught him well. "Good work today Jaune, you're improving." Pyrrha praised the boy. "He you think so?" Jaune asked. "Definitely, keep this up and you'll be one of the best in no time." Jaune sat on the roof and looked out at the sky. Pyrrha smiled at the boy. What she had told Ruby was true, she did not want to date Jaune, but she would do whatever she could to help him. He was a good leader and a better friend. That's how Pyrrha worked, she protected and helped her friends in any way she could. Some people assumed because of how many awards she had gotten that she would be stuck up, that wasn't the case. She worked hard to get where she was just like everyone else. Except Jaune but he was working extremely hard now.
"Hey Jaune I've got a question for you." Pyrrha said. "Ask away." Jaune replied. "Have any of the girls we know been acting weird to you? Not like Nora, but weirder than normal." Pyrrha questioned. "Um no I don't think so, though Yang seemed a little down about something I said the other day." Jaune answered. "Really, how so?" The red head asked. "Well we went out to the movies; alone I might add which is kind of weird on its own. I wouldn't expect Yang to do that but it was like a spur of the moment thing. Everything was fine there but after the movie I said that we should do it again sometime. Which she seemed really happy with until I said with everyone else." Pyrrha put her hand on her forehead and shook her head. "Oh Jaune." Even from the little information she was given she was able to figure it out. Pyrrha had her suspicions about Yang liking Jaune, but she wasn't one hundred percent sure. "What?" The knight questioned. "Jaune did the thought ever occur to you that Yang might have wanted you two just to go, alone with no one else." Jaune looked at Pyrrha confused. "Why would she want to do that?" He saw the look Pyrrha was giving him then he said "Wait you're not saying Yang likes me, are you? That's crazy. Why would she possibly like me?" Pyrrha sighed at what he said. Jaune's main problem was even if he acted like he had confidence in himself, he was very insecure. He never really thought he was good enough, especially when it came to girls.
"Jaune you know I can't speak for Yang." Pyrrha said and sat down next to her partner. "But I do know that there are reasons she would want to date you." The amazon continued. "Like what? I just don't think I'm good enough for Yang." Jaune said. "Jaune, you're kind, you're sweet, and most of all you don't treat Yang like all she has is good looks." The knight looked to Pyrrha in confusion. She continued with "Nearly every guy has tried to hit on Yang. All they want is her body. You on the other hand, you let her be who she is. You never tried anything and were always kind to her." Jaune sighed and looked up at the sky. "I-I just don't think I'm good enough for someone as amazing as Yang. I doubt she actually likes me. If anyone that amazing liked me, I would date her in a heartbeat." Pyrrha looked to Jaune. "Come on Jaune, we better get back. Ren might start worrying." The knight looked to his partner and nodded. They stood up and headed back to their dorm room.
It was the next day at breakfast. Seth would just be finishing with Jaune by this point and would make his way in shortly. Ruby was already down there eating. She was approached by Pyrrha, who had a determined look on her face. "The reason you were asking if I liked Jaune yesterday was because Yang likes him, wasn't it?" The amazon said. Ruby looked around she was relieved Yang wasn't here yet though she would be soon. "What? Please, why would you think that?" Ruby tried to brush it off as false. The taller red head was having none of that. "Ruby, what would you do if I said I had a plan to get them together?" Pyrrha asked with a smile. "Well I would hear you out but I'm still not confirming anything." Ruby replied. "Well you see I can almost guarantee that Jaune wants to go out with Yang. Jaune's problem is he doesn't think he's good enough for her." Pyrrha explained while sitting in front of Ruby. "So as I see we have to options, one is to convince Jaune he is good enough. That is no easy task but it is an option. The other option is getting Yang to make the first move." Ruby looked happy to see that the rest of her team still wasn't here yet. "The second option might work, she's made the first move on guys before but with Jaune she's been acting different." Ruby said giving up on the idea of trying to get Pyrrha to think otherwise about if Yang liked Jaune. "Really how so?" The taller red head questioned. Ruby sighed and replied "She isn't sure what to do. Her only excuse before was because she thought you liked Jaune and she didn't want to start a problem with you. I talked to her a bit last night after I confirmed that I was not playing a prank on her, she just seemed really frustrated. She didn't know what to do about it." Pyrrha nodded her head. "Meet me after classes and we'll talk about how we're goanna help those two, because Lord Monty knows they need help." Ruby agreed. Pyrrha smiled and said in an almost Yang like matter "And maybe I can also help you with a certain wolf fanus." Ruby blushed and quickly said "I-I don't… I mean it's not like…" Pyrrha laughed a little. "You're spending too much time with my sister if you're teasing people like that." Ruby said with a little huff. They stopped their conversation at the sight of Yang and Weiss entering the cafeteria.
"So why am I being dragged into this?" The wolf fanus questioned. Seth was being pulled along by Ruby, who was going to meet Pyrrha to talk about how to get Yang and Jaune together. "Because you're the only besides Pyrrha and myself that knows that Yang likes Jaune." Ruby explained. "So why does that mean that I have to be dragged along to this?" Seth asked. "I thought third opinion would help." Ruby said causing the wolf fanus to sigh. "Fine just don't expect me to be too much help." In reality it was because she hoped that Pyrrha wouldn't bring anything up about her liking Seth, which isn't to say she did. Ruby sighed as she thought it over. I don't like Seth, right? She thought.
The two kept walking until they showed up where Pyrrha was. It was a small clearing in the court yard. "Why is he here?" Pyrrha questioned upon seeing the wolf fanus. "He knows Yang likes Jaune. Heck he tried to tell Blake and Weiss but they didn't believe him. I brought…" Ruby started to explain. "Dragged." Seth corrected. Ruby rolled her eyes and continued "He's here so we have a third opinion." Pyrrha smiled and said "Well then if that's all then I guess we better start discussing what we should do." Seth slumped himself against and let the girls talk.
"Okay so what should we do?" Ruby questioned as she sat next to the taller red head. "Well I think getting your sister to make the first move is the best choice." Pyrrha said. "I know, but I'm not sure how thrilled Yang would be about that. She doesn't know what to do lately." Ruby replied. "How about getting Jaune to ask her out?" the young leader asked. "I'm not sure we can. He doesn't think he's good enough for Yang. He doesn't want to make a move." Pyrrha said. "You're both going about this the wrong way." Both girls turned their heads surprised by Seth's voice coming into the conversation.
"How is that?" Pyrrha asked. Seth thought back to about 3 months after he'd met Holly. "Ruby's right but not entirely. Jaune should make the first move, but that doesn't mean Yang shouldn't be ready to make a move. They both need to be ready for this. We can't trick one into asking the other out. No, we need make sure both are ready. We need both of them to make the first move, at the same time." The wolf fanus explained. Pyrrha was slightly surprised by this. "Are you sure? I'm still not convinced we can get Jaune to make a move." Seth stood up and said "Give me permission to tell Ren about this and an hour. That's all I need. If this works Ruby's not allowed to bring up my past for a week." Seth said. "Deal." Ruby quickly replied. "You two need to convince Yang to make some sort of move." The wolf fanus said as he left.
I almost ended the chapter short at the end of lunch. Then I realized that Seth hadn't been in the entire chapter. Pyrrha will probably play wing women, a lot. I almost should have done the whole Pyrrha becomes jealous over the new girl Jaune has thing but I like her too much to do that to her. I get that jealousy makes girls "ugly" but I want her to stay nice. Also this way she can help me shift things in whatever way I want it to go. Besides I like Pyrrha being helpful to everyone she can. Beside I plan on playing with love triangles with a different 3 hehehe. You can probably guess which 3. Well until next time.
