A/N: This time there's actually a chapter for this story. I swear.
I posted the update for Jump Scares here by accident, and felt bad that it got me a bunch of views for this story when I hadn't actually published anything. So, I finished up the second part I had started a few months ago so that I could post it.
Yang slammed the door to team RWBY's room open with a wide grin on her face.
Inside was the rest of her team, who all looked up at the sudden noise, relaxing and rolling their eyes in unison when they realized it was just Yang.
"Must you always throw the door open, you brute?" Weiss demanded wearily.
"Only when it's important, Weiss!" Weiss narrowed her eyes, "You do it every time you walk into our room."
Yang's grin only widened, "That's because me entering the room is always important." She said, shamelessly. Weiss huffed and went back to her homework.
"Seriously though, we're going to the common rooms to hang out." Yang told them, putting her hands on her hips, "Jaune's getting his team to come with."
This got Ruby to perk up somewhat, but Blake remained apathetic and Weiss looked annoyed, "I'm studying, you can go without me."
"No can do, Princess, we're all going. You can study later."
Yang could see that Ruby was getting suspicious of her motives, and was about to speak up, so she nailed her with a look that Ruby knew meant this was important to her, and not just to annoy Weiss. Her sister nodded wisely and dropped down from her bunk, "Come on Weiss, it can't hurt to take a small break and relax."
With only a little more coaxing, Weiss agreed to go with them. Blake followed without issue, as she hadn't been against the idea in the first place.
As they made their way to the common rooms, Ruby sided up to her sister.
"So what's going on?" she asked, looking up at Yang curiously.
With a small smile, Yang patted Ruby on the head, "You'll see Rubes, don't worry about it."
Team JNPR was already there when they arrived, and Jaune shot her and Ruby a smile as they all walked over. He was sitting in one of the chairs, with his teammates taking up the couch. Weiss and Ruby made their way to the loveseat nearby while Blake settled down on the last big chair, leaving Yang nowhere to sit.
She glanced at Jaune in his chair for a second, well, maybe there was somewhere…
"Scoot over Vomit Boy."
Jaune looked up at her in alarm, "Huh?"
"I want to sit down, make some room."
She could feel all eyes on them, and grinned savagely at Jaune's torn expression, "Unless you'd rather I just sit on your lap, Jaune?" she asked sweetly, her grin becoming more teasing.
Narrowing his eyes at her, he scooted to make room for her in the thankfully, large chair. Yang let herself fall into the space and get comfortable.
All this fun they were having, and they hadn't even gotten hot chocolate yet.
"So, how is everyone?" Jaune asked awkwardly, trying to break the silence. Yang could see Weiss turning to him with a deadpan stare.
"Very suspicious of why we were brought here, suddenly." She sent a pointed look towards Yang, who merely grinned lopsidedly in reply.
Deciding she'd save poor Jaune from Weiss this time, Yang jumped into the conversation, "Just wanted to enjoy some time with our friends, Weiss, maybe you should chill out." The muffled groan from Blake went unnoticed. "Did you guys know it's snowing?"
"It is?" Ruby asked, "Ooh, we could have a snowball fight!" she bounced in her seat.
Jaune chuckled, more relaxed, "I don't think there's enough snow for that yet, Ruby."
"Ooh, is that why you've got that hat on Yang?" she turned to look at Nora in confusion, before patting her head and remembering that she still had Jaune's beanie on.
"Yea, didn't want snow getting in my hair." She responded, throwing a sly look to the boy beside her. Pyrrha was the first to catch on, of course.
"Wait, Jaune, isn't that your beanie?"
All eyes turned on him, including Yang, who gave him a smirk when he squirmed under the attention and glanced her way.
"Yea," he said flatly, "I lent it to her." Yang nudged his side subtly, a reminder of what they were here for. She heard him sigh.
"Actually, that's sort of why we brought you guys here. I've been putting something off for a while, and well, you guys all deserve to know." Yang heard Jaune take a deep breath as everyone listened in, their curiosity piqued.
"Well um, me and Yang are dating." He paused, "I mean, we've been dating for a few months now actually."
"I KNEW IT!" Everyone turned as Ruby jumped out of her seat, throwing her fists in the air.
"You did?" Jaune asked, looking surprised.
Ruby danced around, "Duh! It was so obvious!" Weiss snorted.
"Hardly," she replied, "I think you're probably the last two people I'd have expected to get together."
Yang looked over to Blake, who shrugged and gave her a half smile.
"Okay, so did anyone else know or is Ruby just a wierdo?" she asked, grinning at her little sister.
Pyrrha coughed, raising her hand awkwardly, "I knew"
Yang almost laughed at the way Jaune's eyes exploded out of his skull. "Pyrrha! You knew?" he exclaimed, face whitening. She reached over and took his hand behind their backs, squeezing it lightly to try and help him calm down a bit.
Yang could have sworn that Pyrrha looked right at Yang with a conspiratorial glance as she rolled her eyes. "Yang might be sneaky, but you wear your heart on your sleeve most of the time Jaune. It wasn't hard to figure out that you were seeing someone, and Yang was the one person you started hanging out with more than before."
Jaune floundered, mouth opening and closing, unsure what to say. "Well, if that is all, as much as I would like to spend some time with you all, I was about to take a shower before Jaune dragged us all out here." Pyrrha said, smiling at the group before walking away, giving her team a wave.
The moment she was out of sight, Jaune turned to look at Yang. She snorted and waved a hand, "Go, idiot."
As he left the room, he heard Weiss speak up.
"Really though, Arc of all people, Yang?"
"You're just jealous that you didn't give him a chance when he was into you."
He followed the hall in the direction of their dorms, catching up to Pyrrha as she was about to turn a corner. She heard him coming, and gave him a small smile when she turned.
"Pyrrha, I, uh…" he trailed off. She shook her head slowly, "You don't need to say anything, Jaune."
He looked at her, "Of course I do!"
She gave him one of her fond looks, "Look, Jaune. I think by now we both know that I like you, right?" he nodded. "You're my partner, Jaune, and my best friend. Of course I would notice you starting to like another girl, even if I didn't like you that way." She reached over to put a hand on his shoulder, smiling.
"I am happy for you, and Yang. I wasn't about to throw a fit like a foolish girl, you're both my friends, and you want to be with each other. That's not my business."
Jaune swallowed, "I know but," he smiled weakly, "I knew you liked me, and I could have just straight up told you I didn't feel the same way and saved us so much time instead of me dancing around all of this like an idiot."
"Give me some credit, I'm not the dense one between the two of us." Now she smirked at him, just a little mischievous, a side of Pyrrha that rarely came out. "I did catch on to the hints, Jaune. I just decided to act like I always have around you, because that's our normal." She shrugged at him, head tilted a little, "I didn't want us to treat each other differently. I wasn't about to throw away the first real friendship I'd ever had over a crush."
He let his breath out, head hanging down. "I've been worrying so much that this would mess up our friendship, I mean, Yang's been trying to get me to agree to tell everyone for weeks."
He looked up and finally gave her a real smile, "Guess I should know you better than that by now, huh?"
"I'll give you a pass this time." She said, grinning, "If only because Yang is going to be saying I told you so for weeks."
Jaune groaned now, slapping a hand over his eyes, "Please, don't remind me."
She laughed, and he grinned, spreading his arms wide. "So, friends?"
Pyrrha shook her head at him again, before embracing him. "I don't think it was ever in question, Jaune."
They stayed there for a few seconds before someone cleared their throat behind Jaune, and they separated, turning to find Yang holding two mugs. She gave them a smirk as she approached.
"Sorry to interrupt, but I owe Jaune a hot chocolate." She said, handing one of the mugs to Jaune carefully. She turned to Pyrrha. "I was going to get you one, but I figured if you were taking a shower you probably didn't want any right now."
The Spartan gave her a small smile, "That's fine, thank you Yang."
She looked between the two blonds before speaking again, "Speaking of which, I still need to actually get to the shower. Does he get in the way of you getting things done too?" she asked, speaking the last part out behind her hand to Yang. Jaune's mouth opened comically wide in protest, and Yang grinned evilly.
"You have no idea. We were going out into Vale one day because I needed to do some shopping, and he took like an hour to get ready!"
"What!?" Jaune squeaked, trying to protest. Yang ignored him.
"And then he keeps distracting me and dragging us off to places in Vale, all I'm trying to do is buy ammo for my gauntlets, but noo, Jaune wants to go to the Arcade."
Both girls laughed, with Jaune stuck between them, pouting.
"Well," Pyrrha said, "You two have fun with the others." She said, turning to head to the dorms, before she got to the next corner, she stopped and turned.
"And Yang?"
"Hmm?"
Pyrrha smiled darkly, "If you hurt him, I hurt you."
The Blonde couple watched her round the corner in silence, before Yang let out a whistle.
"Hot damn," she spoke, "Maybe I should date her instead, that smile was devious."
"Nuh uh!" Jaune pouted, reaching and wrapping his arms around her waist, burying his face in her neck. "You're mine." He planted a kiss on the side of her neck to finish his point. Yang chuckled.
"C'mon Lady Killer, lets go enjoy our hot chocolate."
