Pyrrha Nikos looks out the window sadly as Lie Ren loads Storm Flower, and Nora Valkyrie is jumping on her bed in the room for Team JNPR.

"Hmm…?" Nora said. "How come Jaune gets home so late?"

"He's become rather scarce since he started fraternising with Cardin," Ren said. "Maybe he's with team CRDL right now".

"That's weird..." Nora said. "Doesn't he know we have a field trip tomorrow? We need our rest!".

"What in the world are you two talking about?" Jaune said. "I'm right here. I've been sitting in my bed for the past few hours".

"Oh! Sorry, Fearless leader!" Nora said. "For some reason, I thought you were doing something stupid".

"What the heck, Nora?!" Jaune said. He then turned to Ren. "Also, when the heck did I fraternise with team CRDL? Last I remembered, the ass of a team was bullying Velvet. I would never be friends with such pricks.

Cardin even tried bullying me on multiple occasions, such as trying to transform Crocea Mors while walking through a door, the time he tried to hit my books out of my hands, or the time he wanted to shove me into a rocket locker, which he inadvertently launched himself".

"Fearless Leader? Can I ask you a question?" Nora asked. Jaune nodded at her. "Why do you not fight properly during Combat Class?".

"Nora, I already explained," Jaune said. "I can't fight people properly unless they wear Yongpyo to protect them. I'm willing to show you the capabilities of Yongpyo and lend it to you because I trust you guys, but I won't reveal it unless necessary.

Plus, as you know, I have to hold back a lot even with the Loop of Binding against people not using Yongpyo. Thus, using Crocea Mors, which breaks my balance, and holding back is something I have to do to not injure anyone, even if I become someone that looks incompetent in fighting".

"I get it, I do!" Nora said. She then scowled. "I just hate the way people look at you like you don't belong at Beacon because you suck at fighting. I can hear them every day mocking you. If it wasn't for you telling me not to hurt them, I would have already broken many people's legs".

Nora was suddenly holding Magnhild in her hands and squeezing its handle as tightly as she could as she imagined breaking the bullies' legs.

"Thanks, Nora," Jaune said. "I appreciate the way you care for me. But it's best if you forget about them. The only opinion I care about is the opinion of the people I care for, like my family and friends, not strangers that are judgemental and believe themselves to be above others".

While Jaune was talking with Nora, he finally saw Pyrrha, who was skulking while looking out the window.

"Pyr?" Jaune called. Pyrrha then looked at him, and she sighed. "Are you okay? You seemed to be contemplating something".

"I'm fine, Jaune," Pyrrha said. "I just have something on my mind. I promise nothing's wrong".

Pyrrha was contemplating her training with Jaune and how she could show him her feelings.

First off, her training with Jaune. She thought that maybe training with Jaune after seeing him fail at fighting would kill two birds with one stone. Pyrrha would be able to help Jaune get stronger to protect himself and get closer to him.

But that idea was shut down when Jaune explained that he was not an incompetent fighter. He was, in fact, holding back as he didn't want to hurt anyone with his monstrous strength.

The only way to train with Jaune is if they wore his special armour known as Yongpyo. Pyrrha still can't believe the amount of power she got when she wore it.

The fact that the power boost she got from Yongpyo is immense, yet she still couldn't do much against Jaune, shows that he was leagues above her. Her partner was grand.

Secondly, Pyrrha struggled to convey her feelings to Jaune as she's never done anything of the sort. Although she did love the times he would lay down on her thighs, it felt like heaven to her.

The genuine frustration of Pyrrha is not that Jaune is stronger than her but that she has no clue how to approach Jaune about her feelings. Just thinking about it makes her want to rip her hair out.

"Alright, I won't bug you about what you're thinking," Jaune said. "But know that if there is anything you need of me, I'll be there to help you…Especially when you're ready to tell me how you feel".

The last part that Jaune said went unheard.

"Anyways, I need to head to the roof for a bit," Jaune said as he stood up. "I need a bit of privacy since I need to make a call".

Jaune then left the dorm room and made his way to the roof. Nora, Ren and Pyrrha were used to Jaune going to the roof. They didn't know who he was calling, but they each had their own hypothesis, which Nora had to voice out.

"Hmm…I think the person Jaune is calling is his girlfriend," Nora said. She then looked at Pyrrha. "Maybe that's why he isn't taking the hint about your feelings, Pyrrha".

"Do you guys think Jaune has an actual girlfriend?" Pyrrha asked. She was genuinely curious. "Jaune's a wonderful and considerate guy. Having a girlfriend isn't out of the question. I mean, who wouldn't like a great person like him?".

"Or maybe he's calling his family," Ren said. "But what you girls said could be a possibility".

"Oh! Maybe we can come up with a way to ask him without being suspicious?" Nora said. "Like we can be talking about him, then we can sneak the question about his relationship".

"Or, hear me out," Ren said. "We just ask him if he's dating someone or not".

"Pfft! That's boring!" Nora said. "Our idea sounds more fun".

"No, Nora," Ren said. "Trust me, it's best to just be upfront with guys,"

"Wait a minute!" Nora said. She had a great idea! "Why don't we just head to the roof where Jaune is and spy on him? That way, we can figure out if he's talking to his girlfriend or not".

"That's a breach of his privacy, Nora," Pyrrha said. However, she was tempted. "I don't want to spy on my own partner".

On the roof, Jaune was on a call with Arslan. He talked about his day and what they were doing the following morning. Arslan was jealous that Jaune was going on a field trip while her class would be about history.

"I mean, it's not that bad," Jaune said. "You get to learn things like the great war, the Faunus revolution and other historical facts".

"Okay, enough about that," Arslan said. "So? Have you made progress about Pyrrha?".

"At the moment," Jaune said. "Nothing. I think Pyrrha is trying to confess her feelings to me, but she doesn't know how to".

"Then why don't you take the lead?" Arslan said. "That way, you two can stop being awkward when you're left alone".

"Arslan, I don't know how to go about it," Jaune said. "If you remember, I also have no experience approaching such a topic. It was you that proposed to me".

"That's true," Arslan said. "But it's not that hard. Approach her and ask to speak to her in private, then explain everything to her".

Jaune didn't know this, but the door to the roof was now ajar as three people arrived and listened to his conversation. They first heard about Jaune bringing Pyrrha to a private place to explain something.

"Pyrrha, do you think maybe Jaune is getting advice on how to confess to you?" Nora said. "I don't know who's on the other side of the scroll, but it sounds like the person encouraged Jaune to speak to you".

Pyrrha had nothing to say to Nora as she was excited with the prospect of Jaune reciprocating her feelings. She then saw that Jaune was saying something to the person on the other side of the scroll, and she asked Nora and Ren to be quiet so they could hear.

"I don't know, Arslan," Jaune said. Pyrrha recognised the name and was nervous. "I don't know how to tell Pyrrha that I have a fiancé".

Pyrrha was wide-eyed, and she was shaking after hearing what Jaune said. That would mean that Arslan encouraged Jaune not to confess his feelings but to tell her that he already had someone in his heart.

"I knew this wasn't a good idea," Pyrrha said. She was nearly in tears after what she heard. "I don't think I can listen to any more of what they're talking about".

Pyrrha left in tears. Nora followed to comfort her. However, Ren stayed to listen to Jaune.

"I don't know how I can tell Pyrrha that I have feelings for her and then explain that I have a fiancé," Jaune said. "I know that you're okay with me dating her and you simultaneously, but I don't know if she would be okay with it. I mean, it could harm our current relationship".

Ren was shocked at what Jaune said. As it turns out, Jaune's fiancé was okay with him dating another person. Ren went back to the dorm, but he didn't say anything since he didn't know how to explain what he heard. So, he decided to go to sleep.
