Even though imminent death loomed over him, Jaune was surprised by how sweet and smooth Ruby's lips felt against his own. Granted, it still felt rough and sloppy, but it was much more tender than when Yang had assaulted his own mouth. Yang was a good kisser, no doubt, but it lacked an innocence that Ruby had, and Jaune found that endearing. If it weren't for the circumstances that he was in, he would have no doubt smiled at the blushing, flustered girl in front of him. Thinking on it a little- now that he was able to think, albeit not clearly- her lips had the faintest taste of chocolate.
Pyrrha, shocked to see her leader in this state, stood at the doorway, her mouth agape and eyes burning brightly. Her aura flared slightly, outraged to see her leader locking lips with someone else! She thought he knew about how she felt about him. She did make it clear enough, at least, she thought so.
The flicker of doubt had wormed itself into her mind, and it was firmly rooted; it wasn't going anywhere. She began to question if she had even done enough to get him to notice her. All the subtle touches, all the flirting she did, the way she smiled whenever he was around her, all the training the they had done...all the alone time they had. Wasn't it enough...or was it too little?
She felt a vein pop out on her forehead, the anger and self doubt bubbling inside her like an active volcano. Pyrrha clenched her fist and ground her teeth in an attempt to keep calm and not lash out at the two members of RWBY.
"Oh no. I'm not finished with you yet, Jaune." Yang stated, gently locking her arms around Jaune's waist in an attempt to pull him away from her younger sister.
This statement had snapped Pyrrha out of her stupor long enough to get a plan together. She said plan, but in reality, it was more along the lines of an idea fueled by rage and jealousy. She also knew that young reaper and brawler had no idea that she was there, so she used that to her advantage.
Taking purposeful steps towards the three of them, she outstretched her arm, and caught Jaune by the cusp of his hood. Pulling with all the strength she could muster, she freed Jaune from the grasp of Ruby and Yang; had they known about her presence, they would have held on to their object of affection much tighter. Jaune yelled out in surprise for the third time that day.
Dragging Jaune into their room, she locked the door behind her. An audible click confirmed this. This ensured that only the people with the scroll to their room could get in, and Ren and Nora were out on a mission. They wouldn't be back until later that night.
"Thanks Pyrrha. I don't know what would've happened if I was in there any longer." Jaune sighed in relief, now feeling safe in the confines of his room and away from the likes of Ruby and Yang. Jaune's sense of peace was misplaced in this certain predicament.
Pyrrha said nothing. The silence filled the room like a thick blanket, and Jaune began to grow more wary by the passing minute.
He chuckled nervously, "Uh...haha...P-Pyrrha?"
Her back to him and hand on the door lock, she continued to ignore him. She was plotting out her next course of action, slowly, and was waiting for her rage to subside. The pang in her heart made it difficult to ignore the scene which she had just encountered; Ruby and Jaune kissing replayed in her mind over and over.
Jaune placed his hand on her shoulder, immediately bringing her back to reality. "Pyrrha. Are you okay?" The concern in his voice was evident, and purely for her. She could sense that much. Here was the great, caring goofball that she always liked, and now they were locked in a room together.
Just then, the banging of team JNPR's door snapped Pyrrha and Jaune's attention to the wooden frame. The voices on the other side were undoubtedly Ruby and Yang, demanding to have Jaune back. Pyrrha ventured a guess that it was Yang who pounding on the door, for with each knock, the wood seemed to extend and be replaced back. Only someone with Yang's strength could cause a door to do that.
Jaune visibly brightened at Yang's suggestive tone. She stated that Jaune and her could have more 'fun' later, when Ruby was asleep. Of course, the younger of the two didn't like that, and said that she could sneak Jaune away when Yang wasn't looking. This sparked another debate about how it wouldn't be sneaking if she explicitly stated that she announced that she was going to do it, and in front of the person of whom she was supposed to be sneaking away from.
Even though the door was locked, Pyrrha had forgotten that the door was only made out of wood. It wouldn't stand up to the brute force of Yang Xiao Long for more than a minute, so she had to work fast, or else lose him again.
Pushing Jaune up against the wall of their room with an audible thud, Pyrrha stared into her partner's eyes, her face flushed and cheeks hot. She didn't think she would need to be so direct so soon, but she wouldn't be outdone by Ruby and Yang.
"Pyrrha!" Jaune exclaimed, visibly shocked by her actions. She pinned him in place by his shoulders, and under her scrutinizing stare, he could feel his face begin to increase in temperature. His once calm heart now slowly starting to speed up again, beating in a steady, excited rhythm.
She didn't speak. Her eyes were firmly locked on his, and her hands applied pressure to the strong, tight shoulders she had come to know all too well. Her heart was racing, much quicker than Jaune's; however, she kept her composure. Then, without much more hesitation, she seized her opportunity and pressed her lips against his own. He was wondering if this was going to be a regular occurrence; he wouldn't mind if it did.
Meanwhile, at the window sill of team JNPR's room, the lock was slowly being picked. A little, black, bow fluttered in the breeze.
