Jaune could remember the day that Pyrrha left.

Or to some, they would say that she was hurt or just angry.

Went insane.

They'd be wrong, but they could believe what they want.

To Jaune, Pyrrha left him then and there.

The worst thing?

It was all his fault.

Everyone disagreed, but they couldn't convince him.

All his fault.

Ruby tucked her head under his chin as she idly drew shapes on Jaune's exposed chest.

"Quit it..." He mumbled, swatting at her hand, "It tickles."

"Nope." She chuckled, grinning.

He let out a small snort and grabbed her hand, "You never listen."

"Nope!" She laughed, leaning up to peck his lips, "We need to get dressed. Your team'll be back soon."

No sooner had she said this than the door creaked open with a cheery, "Jaune, I brought you some -"

Pyrrha Nikos, four-time champion of the Mistral tournament, second-in-command of Team JNPR and secret admirer of Jaune Arc...

Froze.

The plate of food she brought for her 'absent-wanted-to-get-more-rest' team leader dropped from her hands and clattered on the floor.

"P-p-pyrrha?" Jaune stammered, immediately moving to pull the covers over Ruby and hug her to his chest as though to hide her from sight.

Ruby paled and opened her mouth as though to say something, but quickly snapped her jaw shut as anything she tried to say would only make things worse.

"Jaune...? Ruby...? What...? How...? I can't..." Pyrrha tried to formulate a acceptable reason for exactly what she was seeing, trying desperately to find an explanation as to understand why her best friend and love were in the same bed, naked.

"Pyrrha, Um... can you... uh... go for a sec?" Jaune mumbled, a panicked bead of sweat dripping off his face,"We can explain after we get dressed."

Pyrrha's expression darkened, and her eyes - normally a vibrant emerald - cooled into a glittering forest green. Pyrrha trembled, and her hand closed into a fist so tight, her nails pierced into her aura and attempted to cut into her palm. For a second, Jaune was worried she might throw something with her semblance. Without a word, she turned and stalked away.

Jaune personally felt as though she was running.

Ruby shivered and Jaune hugged her.

This was disastrous.

"Ruby..." Jaune sighed as he realized just how badly he probably messed up, "Lets get dressed."

"Right..." She agreed meekly.

"It'll be okay." He reassured weakly.

He just wished he could convince himself of the same thing.

In the four years the two sister teams had been at Beacon Academy, Pyrrha Nikos had never been this angry, hurt, and a mix of other emotions that were burning through her head.

Ruby?

How could she?

How could she go after Jaune when she KNEW.

Years of knowing how Pyrrha felt and she STILL went for him.

Part of Pyrrha was furious at Ruby, another part was sadly angry at herself.

She waited too long, it was only a matter of time - in all honesty - before someone finally realized how amazing of a catch Jaune was. Everytime she tried to say something - anything really - her courage failed her. Ruby had noticed early on what Jaune was and probably had given Pyrrha more than enough time to say something.

But Pyrrha couldn't accept this.

It just wasn't fair.

Lost track of where I wanted this to go...

Ah well.
