Chapter 13
Pyrrha was having the time of her life.
It is not often that Pyrrha Nikos gets to go out and not be mobbed by her fans. She fully intends to make the best of her day. Small talk with Jaune and teasing him while looking for the dust shop worked wonderfully! Seeing him blush and knowing he sees her as a woman already made her day!
It was interrupted a bit by that fiasco earlier at the dust shop. But even then, Pyrrha got to see Jaune's potential! His first time handling raw dust and he was able to manipulate it using Aura and launch it towards the White Fang was amazing! The speed, aim, and execution was almost flawless! Even she wasn't able to do that when she was first handed raw dust to experiment with!
Watching Jaune comfort the colorful civilian with heterochromatic eyes as she secured the White Fang made her realize his propensity to being a huntsman, a hero, even more tangible. It made her feel giddy to see Jaune's future abilities. That giddiness was disturbed by another interruption.
She thought that handing the White Fang to the police officers would be easy. She didn't think she would be subjected to racism! Racism! Because of her cat ears! Which are fake by the way!
But regardless, whether the ears were fake or not, no one should be treated like a suspect just because of the traits they were born with! It made her feel indignant, it took all of her celebrity training to keep her expression pleasant and not throw the cat ears off. To take it off now would just get her asked more questions, especially when they can be seen by a random bystander.
Did Coco know something like this could happen when she gave her cat ears? Who keeps cat ears in their closet anyway?! Questions to ask at a later time. She's lucky that Jaune was there to help her out and sort out the situation.
A natural leader, fast learner, heroic, reasonable, willing to see her for who she is, and now charismatic enough to talk to police officers? She really made the right choice choosing Jaune as her partner. Even if they only stayed as friends she would count it as a win. Of course that doesn't mean she'd stop hoping to be more than friends, which led her to their current situation.
When Jaune himself suggested taking turns judging each other's clothes she nearly squealed in excitement. Her! Pyrrha Nikos! Almost squealed! Yet not to waste the opportunity, Pyrrha suggested that they only take 30 minutes before they meet up at the isolated changing room on the corner of the store. She wasn't gonna waste anymore time by being indecisive with her clothes. Pyrrha took the opportunity and made a game plan.
She chose her clothes carefully, first would be clothes that her alternate persona Pyrene would wear, and then some clothes that Pyrrha Nikos would wear herself. After all, she wanted Jaune to be attracted to her real self, not an alternate identity.
As the lady, she of course got to change her clothes first and model to Jaune. Changing clothes near Jaune should be something she's used to by now, but something about changing with only a curtain between them and knowing she's showcasing herself to him hits different.
She picked the bold ones first, something Pyrene would normally wear. Tight low cut jeans partnered with a tight black shirt hugging her chest and showing just enough skin on her tummy to tease. It's something she normally wouldn't wear, and even now she was so embarrassed. Yet seeing Jaune's face made it all the more worth it.
"What do you think, Jaune? Does Pyrene look good in these clothes?" Pyrrha asks coyly, so embarrassed inside.
If her mother saw her now, she would wonder where she went so wrong to raise a daughter so shameless. Yet she knew she needed to put in the effort if she wanted Jaune to really notice.
"..Yeah. I think Pyrene looks good… I mean! It fits you Pyr!" Jaune responds absentmindedly, then catching himself and commenting on her more.
Pyrrha giggles at that and thanks him. That's how it starts, she changes into clothes, Jaune reacts, slowly moving from clothes Pyrene will wear into something Pyrrha Nikos would wear. She wanted to show Jaune she had a feminine side and not just her warrior side, so she chose athletic wear showing her colors, red and bronze first before moving into more softer attire.
After some time, she's finally shown him some softer clothing, a tight sweater a girl would wear on her date when it happened. She just finished showing Jaune a tight red long-sleeved sweater that hugged her curves. She was trying to take it off but before she could get it past her head, Pyrrha Nikos realized something. She was stuck.
Thinking of all the possible solutions she arrived at two options. One, she can force the issue and possibly rip the sweater. Or the second option, an option where even thinking about it caused her heart to race and her whole body to blush with embarrassment.. Well, without wanting to rip the sweater, she chose the second option. That was her only reason! She swears!
So hidden behind the curtains of an isolated changing room on the corners of the store, Pyrrha Nikos calls out with her heart beating hard and the blood rushing all across her body.
"Jaune, I'm stuck! Can you come and help me get this off please?"
So again, Pyrrha Nikos is having the time of her life. The feeling is so different from the adrenaline and joy she feels when she fights, but equally if not more pleasant. She can only hope for more in the future.

Jaune Arc is currently experiencing a dream every hot-blooded male has once had. A very beautiful woman is currently trying out clothes and having him judge whether it is a good fit or not.
Jaune does not know if he has ever thought of this before, but he is thinking this right now, Pyrrha Nikos, his partner, really does look good in every clothing she wears. It started with the bold choices. Tight clothing emphasizing curves yet short enough to expose just enough skin to give a man a hint what lies beneath that clothing.
The first clothes she modeled for him were particularly effective on him. He expected that it would just be normal clothes that she could wear out on the City of Vale. He did not expect what she came out with.
Look, full disclosure, Jaune Arc is a young man and is prone to checking out beautiful women every now and then. He tries not to do it so blatantly or be a perv about it, but he is only a young healthy man. He has limits.
Jaune Arc is ashamed to admit that he checked out his partner. Tight low-cut jeans fitting over long shapely legs and a round ass. Tight black shirt emphasizing her bust and reaching just above her navel, showcasing a hint of her abs and what lies south of it. He could only reply absently to Pyrrha's question and catches himself before even making more of a fool out of himself.
Another thing to be ashamed about is what he thought of next. Blake would also look good on those clothes too. He can't help it! She has black hair and cat ears! Imagine Blake's bow as cat ears and you'd see her wearing the same clothes! What kind of man would think of another girl when he already has one modeling for him?!
Shaking those previous inappropriate thoughts away, Jaune resolves to focus only on Pyrrha today. He focuses on Pyrrha as she tries on her new clothes. This focus is a double-edged sword because he is now even more aware of his partner! Did someone turn off the air conditioner?! Because he is sweating right here, people! Jaune Arc is sweating from the heat as he tries to judge his partner's clothes in an appropriate manner.
He sees her slowly move from the bold clothes that she wouldn't normally into something he could see her wearing for comfort. This gives her the advantage of not seeing Blake in those clothes, but the disadvantage of imagining Pyrrha with her red hair and without the cat ears in them. He sees her then, all Pyrrha Nikos, his partner, his friend, his trainer, try on clothes for him and be happy with his reactions. Dense, Jaune Arc may be, but he is not that dense. He inevitably thinks to himself:
Does Pyrrha like me? Showing me these clothes and being happy when I tell her she looks good has to be a sign right? I'm not reading this wrong, right?
As he thinks that to himself, he hears something every hot-blooded male has imagined at least once.
"Jaune, I'm stuck! Can you come and help me get this off please?"
A woman, asking him to help take her clothes off.
"I'm sorry Pyrrha, what was that?" Jaune asks in disbelief of what he just heard.
Silence came first before a voice slowly came out.
"..I need you to come inside and take my shirt off."
Did she really have to say it like that?!
Not willing to prolong this any longer, Jaune steps forward and enters the changing room. Making sure he closed the curtain over the entrance, he puts his own chosen clothes on a chair in the side and turns to look at what he landed himself in.

"I need you to come inside and take my shirt off."
Why did I have to say it like that?!
With her head covered by the red sweater, she can only rely on her hearing to know if Jaune went inside or not. She hears rustling from beside her and her heart skips a beat at the implication. By her position with her back facing towards Jaune and her front towards the mirror inside the changing room, she knows what he'll see. She knows that if Jaune keeps his eyes open he'll see her stuck on a sweater with only a bra covering her top.
"...Jaune….is that you?" She whispers, already knowing the answer but needing him to say it.
"..Yeah it's me Pyr." He replies with his throat dry.
The sound of his voice sends a tingle down her spine and causes her heart to beat faster.
"I'm stuck, the sweater can't get past my head. Can you reach and get it loose?" She continues, knowing they can't stay at this position forever.
She hears nothing, completely willing to wait, she waits for Jaune to move. She doesn't hear a reply but she feels hands on her head, adjusting something. Slowly, torturously, the sweater manages to come off.
Keeping her eyes closed, Pyrrha takes the sweater, she moves to cover her front with the sweater. But before she can keep it there, she surprises even herself with her boldness, she drops the sweater to the floor and keeps her hands on her side. She knows that with Jaune behind her, if he keeps looking in her direction, he would see her front, open and vulnerable.
Slowly, Pyrrha Nikos opens her eyes.
