(Author's Note: Heeeeeeeeee's BACK! With another installment of our little "Poly JNPR" series. I decided that I'm going to do this in a series of connected one-shots (due to the fact that I don't know how long this'll last, and the one-shots put less pressure on me then a fully-fledged story/), because it's been pretty fun to write and it'll help serve as good practice for me writing relationships like these in future stories (like how I wanted a separate story that was nothing but lemons, before I put lemons in stories that actually have plots).

So...I hope you guys enjoy:)

After Class Cuddle

Jaune threw open the door to his team's room, slowly walking into the room with a downright EXHAUSTED expression on his face as he trudged along (not unlike a zombie)…his three teammates not very fall behind (similar expressions on their own faces).

"Man," Jaune sighed, running a hand over his face, "Three tests back-to-back, and then Combat Class…everything hurts."

"I must admit, I'm inclined to agree," Pyrrha commented, covering her mouth as she yawned. The redhead was normally a model student, but even she had her limits.

"I'm SO tired!" Nora practically whined, waving her legs and shaking her head.

"You have ten times the amount of energy as the rest of us combined," Ren began, "And yet…you're the one who seemingly can't walk?" Ren turned (as best he could) to stare at Nora, whom he was currently giving a piggyback ride to.

"Exactly! I knew you'd get it, Renny!" Nora ended her sentence with a near blinding smile, showing off all of her teeth. Ren stopped walking and simply stared on at Nora with his unblinking magenta eyes (clearly unamused).

Despite their exhaustion, Jaune and Pyrrha couldn't help but smile at the exchange. They both knew (from experience) that Ren wouldn't be able to stay mad at Nora for long. Truth be told, none of them could.

Could Nora be blunt? Yes.

Could she be overexcited about virtually everything? Yes.

Could she do pretty much whatever she wants without stopping to consider the consequences for even a moment? Absolutely.

But the reason her lovers (usually) allow her to get away with it is because none of her actions are done with malicious intent. She just wanted to have fun and be happy, and extend that to everyone else (especially those she cared for). The instant she finds out that her actions have genuinely hurt someone who didn't deserve it, especially someone she cares about? That positivity is replaced with its counterpart in an instant.

A prime example took place early in the semester, almost three months before their relationship began. Nora was playing with Zwei (Team RWBY's secret pet), and was playing "tug-of-war" with the dog using Jaune's blue onesie. The footie pajamas were practically torn to shreds by the end of it. While Nora was apologetic, she didn't think her Fearless Leader would care (even thinking that she had done him a favor by ensuring he wouldn't have to dress in those again).

She was wrong.

Jaune was practically livid when he found out what happened. Apparently, that onesie of his wasn't something store bought. It was a birthday present from his youngest sister, one that she spent almost two weeks making with her own hands.

The simple fact of Nora destroying it was already bad enough. Her doing so without a care in the world, and even expecting him to feel grateful for it? The sheer level of anger Jaune demonstrated intimidated his teammates quite a bit, Nora in particular being quite scared.

Jaune had gone to shower not long after his "outburst" against the short bomber (partially because his throat was hurting from his yelling) and got quite a surprise when he emerged. Although he was (justifiably) angry at his pink-haired teammate, the sight of seeing his happy-go-lucky teammate on the verge of tears was nothing short of heartbreaking.

And Jaune could just tell that those weren't crocodile tears just intending to gain sympathy…those were real tears of genuine guilt.

Jaune didn't even make it two minutes before he made up with Nora. He didn't completely let her off the hook, but he just couldn't stay mad at her anymore. Nora even made it up to him by fixing the pajamas, in a way that she (for some reason) refused to reveal the method.

And the rest, as they say, was history.

Jaune had stayed mad the longest at Nora than the others ever had, but even he barely lasted more than seven minutes (and Ren still believed that the ONLY reason Jaune stayed angry that long was because he spent over half that time in the shower).

Regardless of any level of annoyance, both Jaune and Pyrrha knew that Ren was about to crack at any moment now. And that was about to happen, given the black-haired boy's (failed) attempt to hide the smile growing on his face.

"Some might say you're insufferable," Ren spoke, glancing out at Nora from within his hair.

"Good thing you don't think that. And even if you do, you love me anyway!" The short girl ended her sentence by pecking JNPR's ninja on the cheek (getting him to blush a little).

"I refuse to dignify that with a response."

Pyrrha giggled behind her hand at their antics, before turning to see Jaune on his scroll. "What are you doing, Jaune?" She asked, moving to look over his shoulder.

"Setting an alarm for a few hours from now, about the time dinner will be served in the cafeteria. Because I'm going to flop down on that bed-," he pointed to their monster of a bed, "-and am not gonna do a damn thing till this alarm goes off."

"Flop?" Ren asked, a single eyebrow raised.

"Yeah…flop. Allow me to demonstrate," Jaune promptly walked to the bed (so his legs were touching the mattress)…and fell facedown onto said bed. All of Jaune's teammates/lovers let out a laugh of some capacity at his goofy action.

Nora promptly dropped herself from Ren's back, and skipped over to the bed. She knelt down, leaning on the bed with her head on her palms (that goofy smile on her face), "You're silly…you know that, Jaune-Jaune?" Without even getting up, Jaune simply raised a hand and pushed Nora away by her head. Nora puffed out her cheeks in "anger", before leaping up and landing on the blonde's back.

Jaune let out a groan of pain, his body actually forming a "V" from Nora's motion.

"You'll pay for that," Jaune grumbled into the bedsheets.

"Oh, really?" Nora smirked, leaning closer into his ear. In an instant, however, Jaune suddenly flipped over and wrapped her arms around Nora's stomach (pulling her in close against his torso).

"Yes," Jaune simply whispered in her ear…before his hands darted towards Nora's stomach, tickling her quite merciless.

"J-Jaune! HAHAHAHA!" Nora struggled to pull away from Jaune, but her Fearless Leader showed surprising strength that surpassed what she had left (curse the exhaustion of school!) to keep her in place. "S-STOP IT!" Her arms and legs were flailing around like she (or, someone) was being electrocuted. "I S-SWEAR...I SWEAR TO GODS I'LL BREAK YOUR LEEEEEEEEGS!"

After nearly a full minute of "torture", Jaune (finally) decided to show mercy to his red-faced girlfriend. "Told you you'd pay," he smirked arrogantly into her glare. She glared with narrowed eyes and gritted teeth…and simply crossed her arms and turned away from her boyfriend. Jaune, however, knew that Nora wasn't really mad at him (given by how she leaned into his torso). "Okay, okay…I'm sorry, Nora." But all he got was a "hmph" in response, "Come on, Sparky. I said I'm sorry. You know you can't stay mad at me."

"How would you know that?" Nora grumbled.

"Because you're too nice. And even if you could stay mad at me-," he pecked her on the cheek, "-then I guess I'll just have to kiss you-," another kiss to her other cheek, "-until-," her temple, "-you-," her chin, "-forgive me," he then turned her around to give her an extra long kiss on her nose, which was successful in eliciting a laugh from his shorter girlfriend. "There we go," he then turned to their audience, each one barely being able to keep their amusement under control, "Now that I have her under control…you two," he pointed at them, a mock glare on his face, "On the bed, now. Leader's orders, or else."

Pyrrha couldn't help but giggle, while Ren smirked, "Oh? Is that supposed to be a threat?" He asked, a single eyebrow raised.

"Technically…but it's an empty one," Jaune admitted with a shrug, "I'm physically and mentally exhausted, am lying on our bed very comfortably, and am quite content in holding our tiny and adorable girlfriend in my arms," he placed his head on Nora's shoulder, now pouting, "Please don't make me get up."

The small smirk on Ren's face only grew as he turned towards Pyrrha, "Well Pyrrha…what do you think?"

"Well," Pyrrha put a hand on her chin, pretending to think, "He DID say "please", after all." With a short laugh, the remaining members of Team JNPR took off their socks and shoes before climbing right onto the bed with the others. Jaune pulled them both into his torso, resting their heads on his shoulders. Nora then pulled both of them closer to her own body by wrapping her arms around their own.

With all of JNPR together and comfortable, they (simultaneously) let out a sigh of content as it felt like their exhaustion had increased in the span of a few seconds.

"I've never been more thankful for it to be Friday," Ren spoke after a few moments of silence, moving his fingers slowly and contently across Nora's thigh.

"I couldn't agree more," Pyrrha yawned, snuggling further into Jaune's shoulder.

"I know we're not gonna do anything else today, but can we at least head into Vale tomorrow and do something fun?" Nora asked, shutting her eyes as she snuggled further into her lovers' embrace.

"We'll find something to do," Jaune muttered, pulling his lovers as close to him as possible, "But that'll be then. Frankly, I don't even wanna think about doing stuff right now." The others couldn't stop the smiles on their faces, varying shades of pink and red appearing on their cheeks. While Jaune could (at times) be the shyest member of JNPR, an exhausted Jaune no longer cares about silly things like "appearence" and "public opinion" as he desires nothing more than to snuggle with his boyfriend and girlfriends. This is the primarily reason why they all head to their room after days like today, as the increase of Jaune's "clinginess" is difficult to explain as just normal friendship and team comradery.

It was only Ren's quick thinking that saved their secret from CRDL's discovery two weeks ago (and even then it wasn't easy).

"I didn't know you were so lazy, Jaune," Pyrrha teased.

"I believe that everyone is lazy at heart," Jaune mumbled against the redhead's neck, "I'm just not as good as hiding." The blonde's teammates didn't even try to conceal their amusement at his antics. Their exhaustion began to grow on them as well, however, their yawns increasing and their eyelids grew heavier.

Within two minutes…all of Team JNPR was fast asleep, content and safe as they held one another.

(Author's Note: Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnd...scene!

Hopefully this turned out well (still new to it). This was actually the ORIGINAL idea I had for the "premiere chapter", but I changed it to the "waking up in the morning" concept when I couldn't come up with any ideas for this one.

Tell me what you liked, tell me what you didn't like, and tell me how I can improve. And if you have any ideas for future "adventures" for our poly JNPR (cause I'm not stopping at just two;), feel free to let me know.

Constructive criticism ONLY, no flames.

Review, Favorite, and Follow, and I'll see you guys next time:)
