A/N: I think I'm going to keep these chapters at around 1-2k. Make them short and hilarious. And random, I guess. Anyways, I've got a few guest reviews to reply to because they obviously hate making accounts and wanted to make my life harder. Lul jk.
DigiXBot: I have one thing to say: MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Ollie: Yeeeeeah, we kind of do.
Jaune wasn't sure what had happened between Ren and Nora, but for some reason, Ren couldn't even look Nora in the face without blushing. She wanted to ask them what the problem was, but for some reason, also really enjoyed seeing Ren look so flustered for the first time in ever.
Jaune could barely contain a giggle when she saw Ren glance up at Nora while Nora was still looking at her, make a small surprised noise and look back down at her plate.
"Alright, I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who wants to ask what the heck happened between the two of you?" Yang said. He also looked vaguely amused, but also much more interested in the story instead of just watching Ren off balanced. Ren looked at Yang, before looking at the whole table, seeing that everyone was also interested in why she looked so off put. Some had the grace to pretend not to care, like Weiss or Pyrrha, but even they were unconsciously leaning forward to hear the answer.
"It's really nothing." Ren said quietly. "We just happened to—"
"We made out." Nora declared shortly. Everyone choked on their food, or did a spit take in surprise. For the next minute or so, everyone tried not to die from chicken nuggets 'cause gosh, wouldn't that be embarrassing. Nora just kept his smug smile.
"Hard." Nora said slowly, causing some of the guys at the table to cough a little harder.
"Really?" Yang asked incredulously, turning to Ren. While everyone was caught off guard by the statement, they all knew not to trust in everything that came out of Nora's mouth. Ren flushed even harder, which didn't help discredit what Nora had said.
"Oh my gosh you guys actually made out with each other." Yang gasped out before Ren could say anything.
"N-no! We didn't make out!" Ren said frantically, trying to do some damage control before things got way out of hand.
"Really? Not even a little bit?" Yang asked, suspicious as to why Ren would by blushing so hard if the two of them didn't actually even kiss. This was confirmed when Ren's face turned from a medium dark red to so red that it was almost black.
"A- I- well, I mean- we only had one, o-or two kisses but—" Ren said, before getting interrupted again.
"Ah ha! So you guys did kiss!" Yang said victoriously, standing up from his chair in excitement. "I knew you guys couldn't help but fall into the love boat together~" Yang accompanied this with a movement from his body that could only be classified as 'sleazy'.
"We didn't even really kiss," Ren said, slowly melting into her seat, getting lower and lower by the second. "Nora really kind of just forced herself onto me and I didn't really, I mean, I was caught off guard."
Nora pouted a little at this.
"Really? You didn't like it? That's funny, 'cause at the end of the second one, it felt like you really wanted to put your—"
"Please, Nora, for once in your life, stop talking for half a second," Ren begged, her hands practically clasped in front of her in a pleading motion. Nora quickly snapped her jaws together, looking vaguely hurt before turning back to his pancakes.
Ren sighed, finally glad that someone was listening to her.
"Wow. Bru-tal." Yang whistled. "You know Nora, you shouldn't let Ren talk to you like that, or else she'll end up in control of the relationship. You don't want that Nora, or you'll end up with no more Lien to buy anything with."
"There is no relationship!" Ren yelled out, ignoring Nora's thoughtful nod of agreement. "We are not in a relationship, there is nothing between us, and I am not controlling."
A brief silence held out as everyone looked at Ren, a little surprised that her voice could go louder than a controlled monotone.
"Well Ren, you have to admit that you kind of—" Pyrrha started, before trailing off and wilting to the side when Ren spun her head to glare holes into the back of his head.
"Never mind." Pyrrha squeaked out, tightly grasping Jaune's sleeves.
Finally satisfied that no one else was going to challenge her, Ren slid back into her seat, grabbing her silverware and resumed pushing her food around again. Everyone else did the same, conversations muted in fear that Ren would snap again.
Of course, the first person to speak up was Yang once more, happy to go toe to toe with Ren.
"So there's no relationship?" Yang asked.
"None whatsoever," Ren said, again ignoring the way that Nora shrunk into his seat in disappointment.
"So you're saying that you don't have any feelings for Nora? None at all?" Yang asked cheekily. Ren opened her mouth, glancing at Nora, before her pale cheeks flushed a little with color once again.
"I never said that." Ren said quietly. Yang grinned at the answer before turning to Nora.
"Look at that Nora! You've still got a chance! Now, tell me how you did it so that I can chase my own…" Yang glanced casually to Blake, "targets."
Blake raised an eyebrow.
Nora smiled in relief, happy that he still had a chance with Ren.
"Well, I was thinking really hard, and then I remembered some really good advice from Jaune."
"Me?" Jaune asked, pointing to herself. "I don't remember saying anything to you about relationships Nora."
"Oh yes you did." Ren muttered under her breath, a little accusingly if people looked at Ren in a vindictive light. Nora mirrored Ren's statement, nodding happily.
"Oh but you did," Nora said, before raising a finger and closing his eyes, trying to recite Jaune's advice word for word. "The only thing a man needs is confidence." Nora said simply.
A few of the students sitting at the table groaned, horrified that out of everything, Nora would remember advice like that. Even Jaune had a hand on her face, covering the visage of disbelief.
"I can't believe I actually said that." Jaune said to herself.
"Heh, I can't believe that worked." Yang said, hearing what Jaune had said.
"So, all you need is confidence huh?" Yang repeated. Nora nodded.
"Yep. And even if they don't like you, Ren didn't try to push me off! So it kinda went one for like, half a minute and so yeah." Nora said.
"A half a minute?" This time it was Pyrrha who said that, sneaking a glance towards Jaune with a sly grin. Jaune could feel the look and the hairs on her neck stood up in attention.
"That sounds like… quite the grand time, actually." Pyrrha said, his eyes dilating just a little, his posture turning a little more predatory.
Oh.
Oh boy.
Jaune knew that she was in for some trouble now.
