Jaune closed the door to his dorm behind him as he strode down the hallway, clad in his workout clothes. He shot a wry grin at the entrance to Team RWBY's room, where his partner seemed to spend most of her time nowadays.

He couldn't really blame her. Pyrrha had been so incredibly focused, so very driven when she first came to Beacon, to uphold the expectations set upon her by her parents, by her fans, by her peers. It had been a bit intimidating, really. But ever since she'd begun dating Ruby, and subsequently Blake as well, she eventually had changed. And in his eyes, it was definitely a change for the better.

The blond always remembered his father talking about 'work-life balance' back when he was trying to convince Jaune to enter the corporate world alongside him. The same could be applied to Hunters as well, he supposed, but it was something Pyrrha was definitely lacking the first semester at Beacon. Granted, during that time she'd used that same energetic drive to better Jaune as a leader, a student, and a fighter, which he was eternally grateful for. But now she was so very much happier.

Now that the foundation had been set, and Jaune placed upon the right path, he really didn't need the constant tutoring anymore. He was certainly more comfortable as a team leader, and his combat skills had increased immensely, though his semblance still needed some work in fine control. Still, he'd come a long way, perhaps from the opposite direction that Pyrrha had started from.

As he turned the corner leading from their wing of the dormitory, he almost walked right into a petite, white-clad girl.

"Watch where you're- Oh. Hello, Jaune."

"Hey there, Weiss," the blond chuckled. "Sorry, didn't see you there."

"No matter, I wasn't paying attention either," she replied airily, waving her hand over her shoulder. "Have a good day."

"Yeah, you too." He shook his head as the heiress rounded the corner, amused at the change that had come over her as well. He wasn't sure if it was solely because she was dating Yang, or the 'recreational activities' she and her girlfriend got into. According to Nora, who for some reason was obsessed with the other relationships at Beacon, claiming it was for 'research purposes', the two went at it every opportunity they could get.

"Jaune!"

His gaze snapped up to spy another petite form hurtling down the hallway towards him, this one a familiar red-cloaked shape.

"Hi Ruby," he greeted the first friend he'd made at Beacon. "What's up?"

"Oh my gosh, you wouldn't believe the cool stuff Blakey's been teaching me!" the brunette squealed, bouncing excitedly on her toes.

"Teaching you?"

"Yeah, 'cause I kinda suck at any fighting without my sweetheart, right? And every time dad or Yang would try and teach me, well, it just wouldn't stick. But Blakey, she's got all these ninja-like moves, like whaaapow and stuff, and she said it'd work sooo much better with my body type!" The excitable girl took a deep breath, her silver eyes sparkling. "Wanna see what I can do now?"

The words "Yeah, sure" were out of his mouth before his brain could catch up and advise against any such thing. By that point, of course, it was far too late, and he found himself lying on his back, stunned and staring cross-eyed at the ceiling.

"Isn't that cool?" Ruby practically shouted.

"Um… yep…"

"Okay, well, see ya Jaune!" With that she was off again, skipping around the corner from where he'd come.

As he maintained his prone position, he next heard Weiss' shrill voice carrying from around the corner.

"Ow, Ruby, what the actual hell?"

"Sorry, I'm sorry, I was just excited to show you!"

Jaune sighed softly. "Never a dull moment around here," he murmured.

"True enough," another familiar voice giggled from nearby.

He peered down the length of his body to spy his partner walking arm-in-arm with Blake towards him.

"If it makes you feel any better," the raven-haired girl murmured in amusement as they passed. "You're number six today."

"It doesn't, but thanks anyways."

"Do you need some help, Jaune?" the redhead asked, eyes twinkling with humor.

"Nope, I'm good Pyrrha, thanks though."

The two girls waved amicably to him as they rounded the corner in slow pursuit of their girlfriend.

"Yep," Jaune sighed, still staring up at the ceiling. "Never a dull moment."

A/N: Just a short little ditty today to start the week off. An amusing idea that I didn't think needed expounded upon much more, but also giving a little peek into Jaune perspective of the relationships going on.

EDIT: Credit to joltflier for the chapter idea. I'm terrible at remembering to write down who inspired the ideas I have for stuff, I'll try to do so better in the future. Speaking of which, if anyone has something they'd like to see, shoot me a PM!

So, props to reviewer Marauderby who picked up on the true reason for Nora's ability to ferret out where the girls have been having sex around campus: Her army of Ninja Sloth Assassins / Spies. In their words, "They are so ninja like that not even Blake-The-Ninja-Cat-Belladonna can sense them!" Fear the Sloth.
