And this one based off Chapter 7 - wow, so many of the smaller details are off due to writing the first part before Chapter 7 came out. But what are you gonna do? XD Still, enjoy
"Sooo, you having fun?"
He considered for a moment. "No" he said mildly, but he also said it in a way that showed he didn't mean it.
She merely stuck her tongue out at him, giggling the entire way as he lead her in the slow-dance, but not being the only ones of course. That made it sooo much better, and if she saw the glancing look in his eyes right, he saw that no one was 'giving them a second thought', which was also good.
"And anyway, they've been up there awhile" she said cheerily, still enjoying this. "Which do you think is happening? Kissing? That romantic alone dancing? Or 'more' hehehe."
"...wow, that's surprisingly dirty of you" he said, surprised, but in a slightly-lower voice. Oh yeah, making sure no one was close enough to hear that as they danced near other couples.
She merely grinned, did that 'extending arm' movement, then she came back to him like a rocket. "It's a possibility" she pointed out gently, "And anyway-"
"Uhh..."
His tone (and the fact that he'd stopped) really caught her attention, and she quickly looked where he was.
Pyrrha came back down the stairs, her expression still unhappy, and with no sign of Jaune coming with/after her.
"Oh man..."
In her side vision, she saw Ren glance at her, then back at Pyrrha (who didn't notice them at all). "It's still too early" he said carefully, causing her to look at him. "We don't know what Jaune is doing, or what exactly happened."
"But we may not see him for the rest of the night..." she breathed sadly, holding Ren close to her, who didn't mind.
"We can hope that doesn't happen" he said gently, holding her close - and for now, that was enough.

So they danced some more as they waited, nothing special- wait, why was she saying that? Anything she did with Ren was special! Anyway, at least a few minutes had gone by, with no real change in the Jaune/Pyrrha situation.
Still, she grinned at her little sloth Ren, who gave his little affectionate 'what am I gonna do with you?' smile to her - it didn't last long, because they were keeping their together-togetherness a secret for now, but she liked it.
"Hmm?" she breathed when they heard laughter, both of them slowing. "What is-Wow!"
"What the-?"
Somehow completely unembarrassed about wearing a strapless dress (impressive), Jaune walked forward determined through the still-laughing crowd, until-
"...Jaune?"
He slowly shrugged a bit. "Well, a promise is a promise" he said mildly.
Pyrrha tried not to laugh, she really did, but it got out anyway - a really really playful and good-natured laugh. "J-Jaune!" she breathed, still laughing. "You didn't have to!"
"Hey, an Arc never goes back on his word" he said, only looking at her. "Now, do you wanna stand there and laugh at me, or do you want to dance?"
"I would love to dance."
Still, Jaune had some good moves, immediately pulling her in with a practiced motion - Pyrrha was pleasantly surprised, even as the dance music changed.
Oh! She knew that song from her dream!
"Ren!" she said, really excited and gesturing to show it! "This! Is! Happening!"
"Wait..." he said, in a 'getting an idea' tone. "What's happening?"
With a little giggling chuckle, she dragged him onto the dance floor - and with it, Team JNPR as suddenly dancing perfectly in sync, as part of an outta-nowhere dance number! Just like her dream! Though, Ren was wearing his tux instead of a dress, and the dresses they were wearing were all different, but oh well, she was just so happy this was happening!
Yeah that's right! Work it work it work it!
The dance number part didn't last as long as she'd wanted, because Jaune and Pyrrha were too far into enjoying their dance to really be into the dance itself; shame. So, while those two separated but still stayed close, she stayed even closer to Ren, dancing with him. "Slow-dancing's fun, but this is much better" she said cheerily. "You can actually move as fast as you want!"
He opened his mouth a little, waited till a passing couple was out of earshot, then said it: "But it doesn't allow you to hold me close" he added, but mild. "Not publicly at least."
"Mmh, yeah that's true" she said, before doing another dance move. "But who cares? We're here to have fun!"
"I'm just surprised, Nora."
"Hmm?"
Still dancing well enough, keeping an eye on Pyrrha/Jaune/anyone else who might get close enough, he chuckled a bit. "I thought you'd be all happy about those two."
She slid around his back, striking a pose as he was surprised, giggling with a grin. "And that's great!" she admitted, then sliding back to face him face-to-face. "But it remains to be seen if they've confessed their feelings yet!"
He raised an eyebrow, glancing at the other two dancing members of their team before back. "Isn't that enough though?"
"Nope!"
He gave off a little sigh/chuckle; no doubt asking 'why did I even ask?', which she found adorable.

Outside, little later
"Wasn't that the most fun ever!?"
"Nora-"
"Well, wasn't it!?"
"It was fun, but that's what you say about everything" he said to her mildly, but his curving lip curving hinted at the real tone, which she giggled at.
"Ahhhhhh" she breathed, reveling in the night air via twirl, the two of them doing a sorta midnight-but-not-actually-midnight walk. Jaune and Pyrrha had yet to even notice that they'd gone, and would likely keep it that way right till the moment they got back. "So let's see, what to do next" she said in a wondering tone. "Hmm... night swim? Ursa hunt? Star-gazing? Nah, not that last one; that's kinda boring after the first minute... unless it lead to something more exciting!"
A hand took hers, making her go 'Oh!', looking straight at Ren. "You are something else, Nora" he breathed playfully.
She grinned, but softly. "Isn't that what you love about me?" she teased.
He chuckled, then stepped closer. "Pretty much" he said, right before her favorite not-intimate part; kissing. He started off simple, but she wanted more, so she yanked his head in closer ('Mmph'), giggling into their kiss - she was so glad she'd learned how to do that.
"What happened to 'no one can know', hmm?" she whispered teasingly, breathing in his face, which he barely reacted to.
"It might change."
"Really!?"
"I said 'might'" he added mildly. "We gotta talk it over thoroughly, but I think for now, letting people know we are 'together together' is enough."
She got so close he had to be cross-eyed. "And just that?" she asked, to be clear.
"Yeah... for now anyway."
"Mmmh, still having secrets" she breathed, before she giggled, pulling back. "Oh well! Now the whole world will know we're together-together!" she said cheerily to the sky, before promptly landing on her back, legs up in the air for a bit.
Ren slowly sat down with her. "And this is supposed to be-?"
"Thinking!"
"Oh..."
Hehe, yeah, she knew that tone; the 'is that what you call it?' tone. Pretty sweet of him!
"Now kiss me" she teased.
He looked at her, but instead of being surprised, he got a small playful smile. "Whatever happened to thinking?" he asked, getting down on his side, making it easier to do as she'd asked.
"Oh you know, I changed my mind" she breathed, giggling. "I do that, you know."
"More than I'll ever be aware of" he answered mildly, but still a little playful as he got closer. Still, she didn't wait for him to get in all the way, because she pulled him in by the tie - something she'd always wanted to do! Ren barely noticed as he kissed her, and she thoroughly enjoyed that, especially when their tongues got lightly involved. Because it wasn't truly intimate whatsoever, she felt warm and not cool, which she did like even if it made no sense - hehe, her body was so weird even she didn't know how she could feel warm and cool at the same time. Then again, Aura was a tricky thing-
Why was she thinking about that? She was kissing Ren; that's her story right there.
"Ahaaahahaha" she giggled, when Ren needed air (she'd gotten some earlier). When he'd gotten it, he lay close beside her, and she could feel his breath against her.
"So, you wanna lay here for awhile longer" he asked, as if kissing like that was normal, "Or get up and see our teammates again?"
"Hmm" she breathed, laying there, arms crossed as she thought. "I don't know - I mean, I'm not feeling like doing either of those things, but then again, doing nothing is also a thing to do. Isn't it? Yeah, I think it is- anyway, I don't know! But whatever you want to do, I'll go along with that too!"
He slowly chuckled. "Until you get your own thoughts again" he admitted, before slowly sitting up. "Well, our team will eventually wonder where we are, especially if we don't return to the dorm."
"What?" she said, sitting up like a rocket. "What do you mean 'if' we don't return, Ren!?"
"I said 'if', Nora" he answered mildly, before he slowly reached up, then he tapped her nose. "Boop."
"GEEEEEEEEE!" she basically squealed; Ren always had her feeling pumped when he did that, especially with that word!
He merely held a hand behind his head, the other taking her arm. "Come on, we should go" he said mildly, pulling her behind him.
"Right! Next stop: seeing our teammates again!" she said, even more cheerfully than her usual, then pointing back to the dance hall with her arm hooked in Ren's. "Charge!"
"Waah!"
Not quite as long as the first, but well, I still think it's cute XD
Plus the chapter is still T-rated, so the alternate way they could have gone would have forced a rating change... lol
