Oscar was still sore the next morning, wincing as he got out of bed.
Oscar looked out the window, seeing it was still mostly dark out.
Quietly making his way out of the room, as to not wake up Ruby, he set out for the dining hall to get some ice.
While his aura was still healing him, he had still exerted a lot of it when training against his entire class.
"Next time we… I sit the next one out." Oscar thought, still forgetting that he was only thinking for himself.
As he made his way across the dining hall to the kitchen, he could swear he had heard voices.
Upon entering, he saw a group of women, grabbing snacks out of one of the cabinets.
They all froze as soon as they saw him, Oscar recognizing some of them from his class and the others from the lockers, the other day.
"Please don't tell anyone." One of them blurted out.
Oscar held back his laugh at her reaction.
"It's alright, I won't say a word." Oscar said.
The girls breathed a sigh of relief, but were still nervous with him being around.
Oscar opened the freezer, grabbing an ice pack and applied it to one of his bruises.
"We're really sorry about what happened in class yesterday." One of them apologized, the others nodding along in agreement.
"It's alright, no need to apologize, you were just doing what the teacher told you to." Oscar assured them.
"Nora, on the other hand." Oscar thought, still a little frustrated with her.
"Still, we're glad you ended up alright, you're a lot stronger than you look." One of the girls told him.
"Thank you?" Oscar said, not sure whether or not to take it as a compliment.
As the night went on, Oscar continued his conversation with them, taking their talk to their dorm room.
"So, all of you joined because of athletic scholarships?" Oscar asked.
"Yeah, since the Grimm are mostly wiped out, a lot of huntsman and huntresses have been using their skills in sports." One of them said.
Oscar vaguely remembered Sun mentioning a new league formed in Vacuo, but didn't really understand fully.
"You should try out, with how great you are in combat, you'd probably do great in the ring." Another one complimented him.
Oscar nervously smiled, scratching the back of his head.
"Thanks, but I'm not really a fighter unless I have to be." Oscar said.
"Could've fooled me." She said.
"So why are you here then?" She asked.
"Honestly, I came here mainly to be around my friends." Oscar told them.
"Oh, well then they're lucky to have you." She said.
"Yeah, I'm lucky to have them too." Oscar said.
"Most of them aren't here actually, but my friend Ruby's here, I honestly don't know what I'd do without her." Oscar said.
Upon saying that, the girl's expressions changed a bit, looking more envious.
"Ruby?" They all asked, simultaneously.
"Yeah, I've been friends with her for so long, if anyone else was my roommate I'd probably be even more of a nervous wreck." Oscar said.
"Roommate!" They all shouted, in unison.
Oscar backed off a little upon hearing their reaction.
"Yes." He whispered.
They all stopped for a minute when they saw his slightly intimidated expression, till one of them spoke up.
"Some friend." She said.
"Here you are with injuries and she doesn't even help take care of you." She said.
"It's alright, I've been through worse and I can handle it." Oscar said, nervously.
"Nonsense." She said, getting uncomfortably close to Oscar.
"I appreciate the thought, but the sun is about to come up so I should really be getting back to my room to get ready." Oscar said, his voice cracking a bit.
"Oh but, you're still all bruised up, here, I know, let me kiss you better." She said, immediately leaning in.
Oscar backed out of the way, while the girl was pulled back by another.
"Hey, why do you get to kiss him?!" She shouted.
"I saw him first!" Another shouted.
"If anyone gets to kiss him, it's me!" Another joined in the argument.
As they began to fight, Oscar slipped out of the room, hoping that they wouldn't notice.
Later.
As Oscar sat down for his history class, he had noticed a bunch of letters had been left on his desk.
"Well, it looks like someone's popular in the romantic department." Jaune teased him.
"Shouldn't you be in Nora's class right now?" Oscar questioned.
"She gave me a day off." Jaune said.
"What's with all these letters?" Jaune asked.
"I don't know, one minute no one knows my name and then the next thing I know, this happens." Oscar told him.
As Ren walked into the classroom, Jaune mouthed the words good luck to him and left.
As class started, Oscar knew from the first minute, it would end badly.
People would either whisper to him or pass him notes the entire time, resulting in Ren calling him out to question his behavior, to which Oscar couldn't defend himself.
Oscar sighed, retrieving his books and leaving the classroom as quick as he could when the bell rang.
Each class he had, went about the same, with Oscar barely able to pay attention to anything else.
After his last class, he noticed that group of women were waiting for him outside, all with grins on their faces.
"Oh no." Oscar thought.
They all began to approach him, intent on making their feelings known.
"Oscar, please go out with me!" One of them shouted.
"No, date me, date me!" Another one screamed.
Their voices overlapped each other and became indistinguishable as they crowded around him.
Oscar made a break for it, the girls immediately chasing after him.
Other people started to follow, either watching in amusement or filming the whole ordeal on their scrolls.
Oscar ran as fast as he could towards his dorm, only to be stopped when he crashed into Ruby.
"Oscar?" Ruby said, in worry.
Oscar just about looked ready to freak out and Ruby noticed.
"Hey, what's wrong?" She asked.
"Just had a rough day, these girls started fighting over me and now they're chasing me down to ask me out, but I got the feeling I'll be ripped apart before I can even say anything." Oscar told her.
Ruby and Oscar could hear everyone approaching in the distance.
"I don't know how I can get out of this one, it's not like I don't like any of them, I just don't know them but I don't want to hurt anyone." Oscar told her.
"They don't know you." Ruby said.
"What?" Oscar asked.
"They don't know you either, they only want you because of what you've done, you deserve to be admired for how you've acted towards them, helping them with bullies and volunteering to help them become better fighters, but they don't know you, they're just obsessed." Ruby admitted.
"So, what am I gonna do?" Oscar asked.
"If they're like this I won't be able to get them off of my back." Oscar said.
As everyone approached them, Ruby acted quickly and did something for all to see.
Everyone's jaws dropped at the sight of it.
There, in front of everyone, Ruby had kissed him.
