There was a beautiful day of spring at Beacon when they finally arrived, and its gardens where filled with flowers. The Schnee aircraft slowly maneuvered and landed at the airstrip and its passengers where now excited to be back at their second home, and they were already making plans for their second year there. As the doors of the aircraft opened, their plans were put on hold as Glynda Goodwitch stood there, giving some weird looks at them.
"Er… good afternoon, Ms. Goodwitch. Hope you enjoyed your spring break." Ruby started, giggling nervously.
"Indeed it was quite an enjoyable spring break, Ms. Rose. Incredible how relaxing it could be when you don't need to worry about your students destroying the place." They all gave nervous chuckles back. "On the other hand, it was quite surprising when everyone's parents and relatives called me."
"Wait… What?" they all said at the same time.
"Oh yes. First, Taiyang called me, drunk, to ask me to plan an 'accident' involving Mr. Arc. Then Qrow and Raven called to apologize and promise me they would try to keep him away from Beacon. After that one, both the Valkyrie family and the Lie family called me to ask if Ms. Valkyrie was pregnant, since apparently they all thought that the reason you two got, as you say, together-together was due to an incoming baby." Nora giggled at the thought of being a mother, while Ren just screamed internally. "I assured them that there is no baby on the way. Right?"
"No baby here." Nora answered proudly.
"I hope it keep this way till the end of your tenure at Beacon. That goes for you three too." She said as she glared at Jaune, Pyrrha and Yang. "Then Mrs. Nikos begged me to keep her daughter's relationship status as discreet as possible. The fact we already had to deal with thirty so called 'journalists' trying to trespass Beacon's grounds show her concerns aren't unfunded. And then of course the Arc family decided to call me. All of them, if my full message box is a sign."
"Sorry about that." Jaune chuckled and scratched his head.
"You are lucky that after Dia you are my favorite Arc, Jaune. Otherwise I would allow Taiyang to come here. At least I know you try to not give me headaches. But the piece of information I have, given to me by Micaela, of course, is that at least five of you have being… rather active with your relationships." There was general blushing, a giggling Nora and one angry Schnee. "So, first, all of you are to take sex ed class with Dr. Verd. Right now, actually."
"Wait, why all of us?" Weiss protested.
"Because I don't want to have this talk ever again with any of you. One day you might find someone so you will already be versed in the risks and effects of an active sex life. Besides, you are a team and where your team goes so goes you." They all conformed there were no way to escape that. "Now, by what was reported, at least two of you seem to be way too active." They all stared at Ren and Nora, the girl just giggling and Ren face palming. "Since I know better than forbid you of engaging in such activities, and to avoid dealing with the aftermath of such things happening somewhere out of supervision, I have a proposal."
"Oh, we are getting kinky already?" Yang smirked, making everyone look at her with surprise, anger and indignation.
"Ms. Xiao Long, I will ignore that for now, but one more comment like that and I will suspend you, even before classes actually starts." The brawler immediately shut up. "We do have a house on Beacon grounds, four rooms, kitchen, and two bathrooms. It was used to house passing by hunters, but since we reformed the guest wing, that house is underutilized. Since Mr. Arc and Ms. Rose already had asked before to join your team's rooms, I decided to offer this house for you."
"We take it." The two team leaders said with a smile.
"Good. Since I already expected this answer, I took the liberty to move your stuff to your new house. I sent the location of it to your scrolls. Now, please, don't give me extra work. The freshmen are already a handful to deal with." She almost begged.
"Oh yeah, they are already here! How are they?" Ruby asked happily. Before Glynda could answer, they heard a scream, and then a student with Rastafarian hair landed hard behind the teacher, got up and fixed his uniform.
"I am not paid well enough for this…" he commented before walking away.
"What do you think?" Glynda commented before rushing to follow the student.
…
Sex ed with Dr. Verd was the most awkward thing ever. Unless you are Nora and Yang. The brawler made all kinds of dirty questions, while Nora was way to front forward about her doubts. Jaune hid his face on his hood, as did Ruby, though the girl did some questions from time to time, but mostly felt grossed out about all that. Blake and Ren kept their impassive face, but Ren was screaming internally all the time, while Blake was already imagining all types of dirty scenarios for her next Ninjas of Love fanfiction. Surprisingly it was Weiss and Pyrrha that made the most sensible questions, despite their rather uncomfortable situation. In the end all of them gave the good doctor some samples to be tested for STDs, as they all agreed better be safe than sorry.
It was night when they finally where able to go to the house Beacon provided for them. It was a two story house, and while not big it was big enough for the eight of them. It had a modern kitchen, a bathroom downstairs and another upstairs, a big living room and four bedrooms, that while smaller than their usual shared bedrooms, where big enough for two beds (or a king size one) and other amenities. Jaune, Yang and Pyrrha took one of the rooms that already had a big bed, as Nora and Ren took another. By Ruby's request (puppy eyes), Weiss and Blake took a room with her, and they already improvised a bunker bed for the young reaper. They left the last room as a guest one.
It took almost two hours before they settled in, and Jaune was now preparing dinner. They would still have most meals at the mess hall in Beacon though, but he was happy he had now a proper space for cooking. As he cooked, he listened to a conversation that he never expected to become usual.
"Until we soundproof that room, no." Weiss stated to a displease Nora.
"Come on! That is not fair!" Nora protested as she clung on Ren.
"Nora, it is just for a night, besides, poor Ren there needs to recover his energy." The heiress explained as she pointed to the boy, he clearly showing fatigue as he drank his eggnog.
"Fine… Sorry Renny, I just got too excited." He smiled and petted her.
"It is fine. Just, let's slow down a little." She hugged him and smiled, and there was general relief around.
"OK, let's just stop talking about this stuff. I am really eager to meet the freshmen tomorrow. I heard there are some really interesting people this year." Ruby smiled wildly. She always loved to be the senior and to demand the respect.
"Heard there is someone really famous, more than P-money, this year." Yang commented.
"It would be nice to not be on the spotlight for once." The Spartan added, as that would allow her to be just her.
"I heard the young brother of a teacher is a freshman." Blake said as she checked her scroll.
"Oooh, who might be?" Nora jumped on Ren's lap in expectation. As they started to wonder about it, they heard the doorbell ring. Ruby zoomed in and received a box.
"Uh, priority delivery from… dad?" She opened the box and Zwei jumped out of it. "ZWEI!"
"Awww, I missed you!" Weiss petted the little dog. "Glad your dad decided to send him back to us."
"Yep, here in his letter he says Zwei was a little sad back in Patch, and that he wanted someone to keep an eye on us." Ruby said as she read the letter.
"Uh hu… Let me check you for bugs, Zwei." Yang said as she started to pass her fingers on the dog's fur.
"Yang, Zwei is a very clean dog, he don't have bugs." Ruby said proudly.
"Not that kind of bugs, this kind of bugs." The blonde girl answered as she pulled a small circuit board out of the dog's collar. "Damn it dad, spying on us? Cherry pie, use your Semblance."
"Sure." Pyrrha magnetized her hands and pulled another dozen bugs from Zwei, who stayed pretty unfazed over it. "Your dad has trust issues."
"Dad will have Raven issues when I tell mom." Yang growled.
"At least he doesn't have a spy like Mica. I wonder who she hired for that." Jaune commented and they turned to Blake as she left out a meep.
"Hiccups." She justified and they accepted it.
…
The first day of classes started in the most unexpected way possible. Or expected depending on how you see the world.
"Teach me master!"
Several male students bowed to Jaune as they entered the halls of Beacon. The knight just looked baffled at the dozen or so students, while his girlfriends laughed a little at it, as well as some of his friends. Weiss face palmed hard, and wanting nothing to do with it, dragged Ruby to the mess hall with her.
"W-what?" He asked as he saw the boys. Suddenly Cardin put an arm around him.
"Jaune, my friend, my buddy! You need to teach your old pal Cardin how you scored with two of the hottest girls around!"
"Yes, Jaune. Tell him." Yang mocked indignation, but she really wanted to see how he would escape that one. Pyrrha just smiled and bit her lower lips, expecting the answer too.
"Look, if anything else was them that got me, OK? Just… just be honest to the person you like, don't try to 'score' with girls just to show off." The girls were satisfied, the boys not.
"Jaune, Jaune, Jaune… Surely you are not thinking of withholding knowledge from your friends and classmates…" Cardin said, and Jaune finally noticed the angry stares the boys were giving him.
"I don't know what Shirley is thinking, Winchester, but you all better not be thinking of doing anything to Jaune. We can and will take care of anyone foolish enough to mess with him." Pyrrha threatened. Yang also added her two cents, with angry red eyes.
"And we won't leave enough for the funeral." With that they walked away from the boys, all of them being consumed by jealousy.
…
At least three of the girls felt breakfast was not going as good as expected.
For some reason they couldn't decipher, Ren and Jaune became suddenly popular with the female students. It was especially surprising for the knight, whose popularity with the girls was close to zero before he started dating. And for one magenta eyed boy, apparently some girls weren't as afraid of Nora now.
"Aren't you luck, Jaune." Yang growled, her death stares apparently not enough to make the girls stop winking and/or wave at the boy. Jaune just kept looking at his meal, not daring to look at any of the girls interested in him.
"Yes, partner. Look how popular you are now." Pyrrha added, making him weep a little. Her voice made clear she was as pissed as Yang.
"Yes, I am lucky to have the most amazing girls with me. I can't even look at or think of other girls."
"Nice save." Blake commented and smirked. She was having so many ideas for her smut fic and so much material for Micaela.
"Renny, you feel the same way, RIGHT?" Nora said in an unusual angry voice.
"Of course, Nora. You are all I need." Or can handle.
"I would expect you all to get way less attention. Isn't a really famous singer one of the new students?" Ruby wondered. They were about to answer when a commotion started as one particular student entered the mess hall. "OHMYGODITISHERTHETOPIDOLOFREMNANT!'
With that Ruby disappeared in a flurry of petals. They tried to see who the person was but there was too much students between her and them. All they could see was Ruby's head as she jumped around trying to get a look of her favorite singer.
"At least that is getting eyes of us." Yang smirked as she left out a sigh of relieve.
"Yeah, yeah. I will get Ruby, we have just ten minutes before the first class. Where is Jaune?" Weiss asked and they noticed the absence of knights in the table.
"Oh, I really hope for his own good he isn't there seeing this new GIRL." Pyrrha smiled evilly.
…
"So, is this going to be a routine, because I have class in a few minutes and I would rather not be later in the first day of the new year." Jaune commented as once again he found himself tied to a chair by thick chains and in a dark room.
"Jaune Arc, you are here to receive judgment for your heinous crime!" A male voice said from the shadows, with a penchant for the dramatic.
"Let me guess, you are Pyrrha or Yang fan clubs?" Jaune calmly stated.
"You will never guess… Oh… uh… Yeah… Wait! We aren't mere fanclubs! We are… THE PYRRHA'S PALS!"
"AND THE YANG GANG!"
"Oh, Yang would love the name you guys choose." And there was much rejoicing between the shadowy figures.
"Wait! Don't let him confuse you! We need to make him break up with them!"
"Yes! Jaune Arc, you will let go of our goddesses! We won't let you defile their purity!"
"What? 'Defile their purity'? How old are you? Look, can we reschedule this for after classes? I really don't want to be late; Ms. Goodwitch is already on my case as is." Jaune complained, and there was a moment of silence.
"How about at five in the afternoon?"
"I have grifball at that time." One of the fans said.
"Guys, sorry, but I really have to go. Besides, my girlfriends are probably looking out for me." Jaune said as he used his Aura to break his chains.
"Hey, you are going nowhere!"
"Tell that to Yang and Pyrrha." Jaune answered with a shrug.
"They won't find you Arc! Our hideout is…" Suddenly the wall came down and two really angry huntresses in training entered.
"You underestimate the power of jealous girlfriends. You two be quick we have class soon." He said to the girls before giving each a kiss.
"Don't worry darling…" Yang armed her gauntlets. "They won't last a minute."
"We will join you soon." Pyrrha added as she armed Miló in carbine form.
…
"And then I had to rescue Ruby. That girl is quite dangerous." Weiss said that night as she drank her tea.
"Come on Weiss, she was just friendly." Ruby said as she blushed.
"Rubes, she kidnapped you and wanted to keep you in our old room." Weiss retorted, and Ruby blushed more and giggled.
"And you had to go and rescue her. How cute." Yang snickered and Weiss scoffed.
"At least this new girl is taking the heat off our backs." Jaune commented, and both Pyrrha and Yang turned their back to him, crossing their arms. "I see you two are still angry."
"We? Angry? Why we would be angry, Jaune? I mean, it is not like after your little show at the first years' combat class got a lot of girls and some guys asking you to be the 'third one' or leaving love notes around all day." Pyrrha complained, and Jaune smirked. It was very cute, actually.
"Yeah, DARLING. I bet you are very happy with your sudden popularity." Yang added and Jaune smirked again and rolled his eyes.
"It is more inconvenient than anything else. I already have two lovely ladies by my side." He answered and the two smiled but didn't look at him. He smirked again. "You know, I was thinking of making my special lemon pie tonight, but I think you two aren't in the mood for it."
"Well… I think we can forgive you…" Pyrrha said walking to his side, still pouting a little. He answered by kissing her neck. "Jaune!"
"Hey, no fair!" Yang said as she grabbed him and landed a small peck on his lips. "And you better make a really special lemon pie."
"Of course, sunshine. You know, I have a good feeling for this year. Maybe we will even not get in trouble."
A moment of silence.
Then they all burst in laughing.
Ruby petted Zwei as he slept in her lap and smiled. Her first friend was dating her sister, and both seemed happy, as was Pyrrha. That was more than enough for the reaper. Nora and Ren were also very happy, and the only thing that changed was their more lewd ways with each other. Weiss and Blake talked happily with each other.
"You know Zwei, maybe we can have a 'happily ever after' after all." She commented with her sleeping dog. "And lemon pie!"
…
A.N. And with this I finish another story. Thank you all for your support.
I will, as promised, write an extra chapter with lemon involving our trio of lovers. So you can decide to read it or not at your own discretion.
For future plans, I have an idea for one involving OCs, and I hinted a few of them in this last chapter. It won't have any epic scale of fighting forces bend to conquer/destroy the world, more of a treasure hunt thing, filled more with humor than sad themes. So, I see you all next time. ^^
