Oscar attempted to lay low over the course of the week, despite him and Ruby being the talk of the school.
The girls from before made no attempts to ask him out again, while the guys there either glared at him or gave him looks of jealousy.
It seemed like this would work as an advantage, but also work against him.
On the one hand, he could get to classes and around the campus without being mobbed or stopped.
But on the other hand, the fear of Yang showing up out of nowhere still lingered in his mind.
Oscar looked over his shoulder every now and then, bracing himself for her wrath.
Ruby told him not to worry so much, since she promised that she would protect him from Yang.
Oscar could hold his own in battle, obviously, but against an angry Yang, he was as good as done.
"Don't worry, I'm sure Blake will hold her back, she always has a way of calming her down." Ruby said.
"Yeah, I know." Oscar said, still sounding doubtful.
"So, what're you gonna tell Yang?" Oscar asked.
"The truth, I'll just tell her I did it to help you out." Ruby said.
Oscar nodded in understanding and went back to studying, only for Ruby to speak up again.
"Since we're on the subject, I've been meaning to ask you something." Ruby said, nervously.
Oscar looked at her out of curiosity.
"What is it?" He asked.
"Well… I've just been wondering, when I kissed you, did you… like it?" Ruby asked, struggling the whole time to get her words out.
Oscar's face immediately grew red, his eyes focused on the huntress while stuttering uncontrollably.
"I knew I shouldn't have said anything." Ruby thought.
"Ruby." He finally said.
"It was… ." He uttered, before a noise alerted the both of them.
They both turned their sights to the door, seeing it burst open a second later, Nora standing there proudly.
"Hello, lovebirds." Nora said.
Oscar sighed before he tried to reattach the door.
"What's up, Nora?" Ruby asked.
"Oh not much, I was just asked to inform you that if you two want to stay in school, there will be no more public displays of affection." Nora said, in a mockingly serious tone.
"Great." Oscar thought, sarcastically.
"Also, limit what you do when not in the presence of others, we don't mind couples staying in dorms together but no one wants to hear what you do behind closed doors." Nora said, while nudging Oscar and playfully winking.
"Suddenly the mob of girls doesn't seem so bad." Oscar thought.
"Alright, my work here is done." Nora said.
As Nora left, she turned around and looked at them one more time.
"I know you two will be happy together." She said, sweetly and walked off.
Oscar looked over at Ruby, seeing her smile.
"Aside from the warning, it's always nice to know she supports us, even if we aren't really together." Ruby told him.
"Yeah, I guess." Oscar said.
"By the way, what we're you going to say before?" Ruby asked.
"Oh, right." Oscar said, wishing that Nora's intrusion would've made her forget about it.
"Well, I thought the kiss was… ." Oscar started again, only for someone else to barge in.
"Sorry, have to use your window real quick." Jaune said, in a panic.
"They're right behind us!" Cardin shouted as he entered the room.
Jaune opened up the window and jumped out, Cardin following after him.
Oscar looked out the window to see them running away in fear, sprinting away as fast as they could.
Suddenly, a group of angry girls came running in, looking like they were ready to end someone.
"Where'd Arc and Winchester go?!" One of them asked, furiously.
Oscar simply pointed out the window and the group ran back down to try and catch the two of them.
"What was that about?" Oscar asked.
"I don't know, but I get the feeling we'll find out later." Ruby said.
Oscar closed the window, Ruby still awaiting his response.
Despite not wanting to answer at that moment, without thinking he walked towards Ruby and kneeled down, meeting her eye to eye, their faces only inches apart.
"Ruby, I thought the kiss was amazing." He finally said.
Ruby smiled and wrapped one of her arms around him.
"How sweet, I hope it was." Someone said.
Oscar shuddered as he heard that voice, slowly turning his head to witness who he had known it was.
Standing there with a malicious grin on her face, was Yang.
