'Nora and Pyrrha realise'

When Nora realised it, they were at Shade academy.

The whole of team Juniper were right there, it was their fourth year at Beacon and they had been very briefly transferred to a different academy for this term, since this last year was essentially two more terms for them, they had already done the first at Beacon which obviously they all really loved, it would not be the last they saw of it as they would be required to complete the final part of their Hunters licence testing there before they could all head off and begin the journey into becoming true legends of the outdoors!

Nora liked calling them legends because she enjoyed the look of blush on Pyrrha's face, the look of honour of Fearless leaders face and most of all the look of happiness on Renny's face, he had been called a lot of names by others when they were growing up, but right now Nora knew that her calling them all future legends was his favourite.

But back to the current topic, they had done the first term at Beacon and through a tearful goodbye to Miss Goodwitch, who had been so kind to Nora and Ren, as every holiday she offered them space to stay with her as she knew they had no family to go back to, she even became somewhat of a legal guardian of them, so much so that Nora almost referred to her as mum once, and despite them always spending the holidays with Jaune-Jaune's family it was very much appreciated. Nora did suspect that perhaps Miss G simply thought that if she took a more responsible role in Nora's life then she would not cause as much destruction… in fairness it had worked, didn't when she tried to do it for Yang though.

Although alternate methods were used for that when her dad came to visit for a whole week… although Nora did think that Weiss was going to die of blood loss, her nosebleeds were simply epic where Mr Xiao-Long were concerned, maybe she had a thing for old blonds.

Okay again back to the topic; they had already gone to Atlas as well and boy old boy was that a whole load of awkwardness, seriously. The moment team JNPR landed they were swamped, well Pyrrha was swamped, poor girl was almost smothered to death under all the military personal that were trying to get her indoctrinated into the Atlas military, even that General Ironwood dude was all over her, although unlike Weiss it would seem that Pyrrha was not into older guys, so she easily turned down all the offers…

Every day.

For a whole term of school.

But good old fearless leader stood right in-front of her, doing what he did the best out of all of them in the team; defending her, supporting her and taking as many for the team as he possibly could, Nora felt her heart warm at the sight of the two of them seeming to get a little closer, she knew that Pyrrha had been trying so damn hard for the last four years to get it through his thick dense skull that she was into him AND WHY COULD HE NOT SEE IT!

But that was in the past and right now they were currently in Vaccuo, more specifically in Shade, currently unpacking in the room, and Nora was riding high, she had the number of one of the Ace-Ops, a lovely woman named Elm that she was so desperate to have a squat off with that she turned their one-time spar with each other into a round of competitions; oh yeah was that a good day… even though she was pretty sure Fearless leader punched three different academy fourth years that were getting a bit toooooooooo insistent on Pyrrha, not that the girl minded at all.

"I hope this place is better than Atlas was." Nora musses out-loud from her hanging position off the edge of the bed as she watched Ren fold his socks before tucking them in his draw, she had just opened her suitcase and shoved it under her bed, no doubt Renny would try and make her unpack properly.

"Atlas wasn't that bad." Pyrrha says, wincing and with her eyes darting around the room as though hopping not to upset the whole kingdom.

"Pyrrha, I don't think they are listening right now." Ren said as he continued to unpack his clothes, which was followed by a snort from Nora.

"Oh but what if they were? Could you imagine the headlines? 'Mistal star and the person voted most sexy huntress claims Atlas was not that nice!' oh my gosh the scandal would be something else!" Nora said with excitement, and while yes Nora had made it up, she did not expect the website to actually blow up like that with all those votes.

"Nora don't tease her too bad, we don't want her to get to red and flustered, especially in this heat; Jaune would be constantly applying suncream to her at that rate." Ren said with a small, barely conceivable smile on his face, although to the two of them currently in the room right now it might have been a full on Yang sized grin, he loved his smiles, the years had been good for him since the emotional growth of his semblance, he was so much more expressive.

The door then opened and that was when Jaune walked in, he was still wearing his armour and Nora would admit that the white and gold look was pretty nice, something she enjoyed pointing out to Pyrrha on multiple occasions, as well as how he had included her red sash. Then there were the other things as well, the small dash of pink and purple he had added to the sash as well, because he didn't just love Pyrrha, he loved all of his team. Renny even followed that up and changed his outfit as well, which is what Nora was very excited to see as it was the reason that Jaune was out right now.

"All settled in guys?" He asked, Pyrrha rose to greet him and help him.

"Yep, just discussing when the next trip back to Atlas will be right Pyr?"

Jaune's face scrunched up slightly as he looked at his partner, who was about to stammer through a reply before he beat her too it. "Nora teasing you?"

"Y-yes."

"Nora."

"Meh."

"I don't know how you managed to stay so polite all that time Pyr, how could they not take no for an answer? The first time should have been far more than enough." He said as he laid down Ren's new outfit on his bed. "Also here you go bud, finished it a few moments ago, should be a lot better suited for the heat, sorry I got to you last."

"No worries, my Atlas gear was the easiest for you to do, so turnabout is fair-play, but have you done your own yet?" Ren said with a raised eyebrow as Jaune turned around to hide his face from Ren. "You know I can still tell if you are lying even if you turn right? The petals are all yellow Jaune."

"Damnit."

"Jaune, you need to sort your own gear out." Pyrrha said sternly as Ren moved past her to the bathroom to quickly change, Nora already sitting up properly, her altered outfit was perfect for this climate, Jaune-Jaune might still not be the best at fighting, but he was far and above the most valuable team member they had; he could heal, boost, defend, cook, camp, sow, map read, use tools he even managed to follow the military forms they gave out in Atlas.

"I mean I have kind of, I'm just going to wear a t-shirt under the armour, not my jacket or hoodie, then change my jeans for some of those lightweight trousers Ren wears, see? Done." The weak smile he gave had Pyrrha glare a little into his eyes as she poked his chest, the metal bending under her pokes as she made use of her Polarity to remind him she could poke him hard.

"You better."

"Well Mistral means it's Nora's turn first."

"Nope." Ren said as he stepped out of the bathroom.

Nora had to blink to make sure that this was what she was actually seeing in-front of her.

"You sort yourself out first then worry about our outfits, team order."

"Agreed." Echoed Pyrrha as she gave Ren's outfit an appraising gaze. "Uh Nora?"

How could Nora reply when she was faced with this? Jaune had kept the colour palette for Ren very simple, the greens of his outfit contrasted nicely with his hair and eyes, the sleeves had been removed in the place of forearm bracers with what looked like attachable spikes grafted onto them, his chest was almost bare to the room as the kimono top left a portion of it open, his belt he had wrapped around him was a combination of all three members of his team specific colours (the pink of hers on top, white of Jaune holding it together in the middle and the red of Pyrrha picking up where they left off), his lightweight trousers seemed to be tight… very nice and tight… the Ren-Cake was in full view for Nora to appreciate… his father's dagger was on a strap on his shoulder, the only thing covering his upper arm while his weapons sat holstered at his side.

He looked good, really good and Nora was not ashamed to admit she almost drooled a little, his Atlas outfit had looked good too, but this, seeing more of her Ren almost come out of his shell? His delicious shell?

Oh yeah it was all coming together right now.

"You don't like it?" Ren said as he looked at her, he wasn't quite sure what he was seeing from her face, he had made himself a promise to never use his Semblance on Nora unless she asked for it, unless any of his team asked for it… and although Jaune didn't ask for it before it was needed by majority vote of the team, his brother needed to worry about himself first sometimes.

"I don't like it." Ren felt his own heart sink, then something would need to change, anything to make her like it, her opinion was the most important to him in all of Rem- "I LOVE IT! OH MY GOSH RENNY IT LOOKS AMAZING; YOU LOOK SO HANDSOME, SO COOL, SO HANDSOME, SO AWESOME!"

Jaune and Pyrrha shared a smile, right as the door knocked and the leader opened it up to the sight of four girls, all who looked him up and down before the one at the front spoke first. "Hey there, we're team NDGO, we are right next door… so if you ever need anything then all you got to do is let me know and I'll-"

Pyrrha was stood right by the door as she then looked down at all the girls and Jaune just turned his head to see why they all stopped talking before he let out a quiet sigh. "Look girls if you are here for some autographs, any way you can wait until we have just finished unpacking? We only just got here and the time difference is a bit of a mess for us all."

When the girls didn't reply Jaune noticed that they weren't actually looking at his partner, which was a bit of a shock to Jaune, because why wouldn't you? He knew that Pyrrha was simply and utterly gorgeous on top of being a celebrity and one of the greatest people in the world.

Instead they were staring right past the both of them at where Ren was stood. "Well hello there, and what is your name?" One of the girls seemed to purr as she marched right past Jaune into the room and placed a hand on Ren's bicep.

This notably seemed to stun the quiet huntsman, although to the other visitors it was not that noticeable, but to his team it was incredibly noticeable. "Oh, my name is Ren."

The girl's faces all turned to one another and then seemed to lock back onto his before one of them spoke up. "Oh such a beautiful name, no wonder it works on such a beautiful man like yourself… well Ren if you ever need anything, please come and find us, we are always available for you, tata gorgeous." With those parting words the four girls then left the room, each giving a wink in the direction of Ren who stood there very dumbfounded, looking at where they had come from with a curious gaze.

"Well at least our neighbours seem friendly." Jaune announced as he closed the door and turned back to his team, already planning several activities for them to do while they were here in the free time they had, naturally there would be extermination missions to take part in but there would be sometime between that and he could not wait for-

"Um Jaune?"

"Yes Pyrrha." How could he refuse her input, he valued her opinion more than anything after all.

"Is it possible you and Ren could go and pick up some things, I'll send you a little list on your scroll, and you can pick up some other stuff from the market."

Feeling a little confused Jaune just decided to nod and gesture to Ren to follow him. "Alright, you two get some rest, guess we could also scout out the training facilities as well and the other class rooms."

Ren nodded. "Indeed, I wonder what I can pick up to add to my smoothies."

"Good plan bud."

As the two young men left, Pyrrha then approached Nora's side, the girl had remained incredibly still throughout the entire incident. She nervously placed a hand on her shoulder to which the shorter girl turned her light blue eyes to lock onto the green of Pyrrha's own. "H-hey Nora; how you doing?"

"I have made a grave mistake Pyrrha, a grave, grave mistake. In my effort to achieve what I was searching for, I have instead gifted the world something I was not prepared to share nor did I want to share. I fear that now-"

"Um Nora, what do you mean." Even though Pyrrha had somewhat of an idea what she actually meant, over the years Team JNPR had managed to develop their own language, not from looks or touch but their own actual language which had led them to victory against many an opponent in all sorts of arenas under Jaune's direction, solutions that Pyrrha would have never seen coming, but this was not the time and right now she just want to know what her dear sister was actually talking about.

"All the push ups, the sit ups, the exercise, the climbing, the crafting of his body… I always knew he was the most beautiful person to me, but it would seem that I have made him so to everyone else; this is my curse Pyrrha, pray it never passes to you." Pyrrha swallowed as she held her sisters hand.

"H-how about we go after them? Hey Nora? Maybe it was just them wanting to tease you?" Pyrrha offered weakly, even though Pyrrha was pretty sure it was not that, she had heard from more than a few whisperings around some other girls at Beacon that they thought Ren to be fairly attractive… the whispers were because nobody wanted Nora to hear, although Pyrrha did wonder if they then said the same thing about Jaune when she wasn't listening.

The two of them then left the dorm room together into the hallway, which was now bare of students, Nora did look at the room that was next to her own teams and heard nothing coming from behind the door, not even when she pressed a glass to it, which meant the girls were all out, she prayed they were away from her Ren!

Meanwhile in the market Ren and Jaune were just casually wondering around after picking up the items of clothing that Jaune would need, Ren insisted on paying for the items. "People are really nice here." Jaune remarked as he looked around the area, his height making it easy to keep an eye on where they came from.

He was not wrong, everyone that Ren spoke to was very nice to him, especially the females he interacted with, they all seemed to be so polite and complimentary towards him, it was somewhat nice and it certainly helped to get the materials they required as well. "Yes, though I could do without another compliment to my facial features."

"Yeah I was gonna say, it is getting quite weird, maybe you are the ideal picture of handsomeness here? Wonder where I would have to go to be considered that?"

'One bed to your left' thought Ren as he rolled his eyes slightly, but if Jaune was starting to notice that people were complimenting him then it must be really on the nose. 'Wonder what Nora would think about this entire situation?'

Ren was currently dragged out of this thought process when he bumped into the same set of girls that had come into the dorm to introduce themselves to Team JNPR. "Sorry, I was caught up in thought."

The girl with blue hair gave him a wide smile, her hands steadily braced against his chest, he had moved to make sure he didn't topple her over but now his hands were at his side while hers were still placed on his chest, both hands feeling up the material that Jaune had gifted him.

Feeling very awkward about this all he took a step back while she started talking, he gave a look at Jaune for maybe some support on how forward this woman was being, yet he didn't think he was going to get much help from his teammate right now, as he had a greeting smile on his face.

Sometimes Jaune was one of the most clever people that Ren had ever met, but more than often he was the most oblivious. "Oh don't you worry that pretty little head of yours Ren, it is good to see you out here, would you perhaps like a guide around this place? The market can get a little confusing."

"Oh… thank you, but I think we can manage; right Jaune?"

"Yeah I think this will be good for us, take in the sights without boring you guys or taking time out of your day." Typical Jaune, always worried about if he was going to bore someone or waste their time.

"If you say so." The girls turned to leave just before the one with Violet hair then moved up and kissed him quickly on the cheek. "Don't be a stranger beautiful."

Ren tensed up as they all then left and he gave Jaune a significant look, although he was watching them leave with a smile on his face still. "Such friendly people here."

In short Ren was a little dumbfounded by all the attention he had gotten today, it never usually went like this, the attention usually went to Pyrrha and Nora, those two were among the greatest Hunters of his generation, by comparison Ren faded mostly into the background, as did Jaune. This did bring him back to his original thought about what Nora might think of this extremely backwards situation.

Back further along the market and out of sight from where this encounter had taken place, Pyrrha Nikos was currently in the battle of her life as she was trying desperately to keep Nora pinned to the wall. "NORA UGH." She then got a mouthful of her foot as they struggled and she tried to keep her from going and sending those girls into the stratosphere.

"Just a little warning tap, that's all it will be!"

"NORA NO!"

"Nora yes!"

'It's probably alright, it's Nora after all, she never ceases to amaze me.'

Every woman in the market wished that the stunning smile on his face was directed at them, or that they managed to make contact with the magenta eyes he had, but alas it would seem both his smile and his eyes were destined for the clouds.

It was official, Nora hated Shade.
