Jaune had just gotten back from his last class of the day, groaning loudly as he collapsed onto his bed. Today was especially exhausting, just like every Monday was. Not only was it the first day after their break every weekend, but he had almost no classes with Pyrrha on that day. There was no one to help him out whenever the teachers asked him questions, no one to talk to during the lectures, and no one to get in trouble with for making her laugh with his goofy and stupid jokes.
Mondays were the worst.
Jaune noticed that not a single member of his team was in the dorm room. Where were they? Jaune's last class of the day was on the other side of Beacon, which means he would usually get to the dorm last. Ren was almost always first, then Pyrrha, then Nora and finally him. He was also a slow walker, which made him take especially longer to arrive at the dorm. So why was no one here?
"Hey Jaune!" Nora waved as she came out from her under Ren's bed.
"Oh, uh, hey...?" Jaune was confused as to why she was under Ren's bed.
"If you're wondering," Nora had seen the confusion in Jaune's face. "I'm gonna scare Ren when he gets back."
"Where is he, anyway? And Pyrrha?"
"No clue," Nora spoke in her normal, peppy voice. "But I'll scare Ren when he gets on his bed." She gave a coy smile before disappearing under the shadow of the bed. Jaune let out a small chuckle as he looked back up at the ceiling. He was doing that a lot lately. Staring at ceilings in both his dreams (Which he still had of Pyrrha; He needed to calm down with the fantasies,) and real life. He was always trying to relax. This school was taking a toll on him physically. He obviously wasn't meant to be here; But Jaune wasn't going to give up. He had people to impress, and girls to swoon. And by girls, Jaune meant girl.
Pyrrha. Why was she so interesting to Jaune? She was his addiction, and simply seeing her face supplied him the best feeling drug of all; love. Of course, the burn after the high, realizing he may never get her, was the worst part. It was like staring at a celebrity every day and praying they'd ask you out. Jaune knew it would never happen. What does Jaune have to offer? Relatively no combat experience, a crappy weapon, no awesome muscles to swoon her with... He had nothing special for Pyrrha to want him for.
Jaune decided to go splash some water on his face to wake him up. He had taken a nap right after school for the past week, and vowed to break the chain today. He got up from his bed and sighed, opening the door to the bathroom. When the door swung open, Jaune's mouth dropped. Pyrrha must've just gotten out of the shower when he arrived. She had been getting ready in the bathroom for the past couple of minutes; and Jaune couldn't help but stare.
Her red underwear clung to her hips, wet from the moisture she had on her skin from the shower. Pyrrha was wrapping her hair up in a towel, and as she got her hair ready to go into the turban, she bent over and wrapped it around her head. Jaune's nose began to bleed, and he hadn't even noticed. The way the muscles in her legs worked at holding her steady as she bent over in the opposite direction, every strand of muscle working like a perfect machine up to... Crap. Was Jaune staring? It wasn't even that he wanted to; he was just... caught. Blindsided by this sudden view. He had seen more than he needed; Jaune would be happy just seeing her in her underwear. But when she stood up after successfully wrapping the towel around her head, he realized she had no top on, and she was facing him directly.
After a few quick seconds of his eyes getting caught on her chest, Jaune's eyes met Pyrrha's, both of their's wide and bewildered. "Jaune!" She cried out, covering her ample chest. "What're you doing?!" She asked, her face turning as red as her hair. Jaune blinked rapidly, trying his absolute hardest from staring at her. But she was Pyrrha Nikos. The most beautiful girl in the entire world. Who wouldn't stare a few extra seconds if they had the chance? "Get out!" She cried, throwing a brush at Jaune. It his his chest and Jaune stumbled back.
"Sorry-! I'm- I am... Jeez, I didn't mean to!" He tried wiping off the blood from his nose, and Pyrrha slammed the door in his face. Jaune had seen more of his teammate in six seconds than he did in the past year. Nice one, Jaune thought to himself. Were the six seconds worth possibly ruining their friendship over? Jaune contemplated, his head in the clouds as his brain processed the latest information on his companion.
Nora rolled out from under the bed, "Oh yeah, Jaune," Nora giggled lightly. "Pyrrha's in the shower." She blatantly spoke, followed by another mischievous smile before rolling back under the bed. What had just happened would probably not leave Jaune's mind for at least another ten years. That was the second awkward encounter the team had shared in the past week; just last Thursday he had to get changed in front of his team with a hard-on. It was an honest mistake this time, though. How could he have known Pyrrha was in the shower? Oh well, Jaune thought.
Mondays are the best.
Pyrrha had shut the door on Jaune, not wanting to let go of herself. Had Jaune meant to peek at her? Was this planned, or was he just trying to use the bathroom? Pyrrha didn't want a single word of this leaving the dorm room, so she knew she wouldn't bring it up anywhere after she got dressed. At least he hadn't seen what she was doing in the shower. If he had seen that, he would probably faint.
But... Why didn't Pyrrha react to Jaune faster, she wondered. She had the reflexes of a cheetah, she could dodge a bullet at a moments notice if she needed to. So why did she react to poorly to this situation? Shock could've been a factor... Pyrrha really needed to keep her feelings in check.
Oh well, Pyrrha thought. Maybe that'll just make him realize his feelings for me.
More awkward scenes, yeah! *Cheer for sexual tension* Two times in one week, what else could happen in a months time? ;) Hopefully Pyrrha doesn't die. Who knows, this could be happening the day before the Vytal Festival? Hehe. Stay turned to find out!
