For instance:
Yang tries to play wingman for Pyrrha and Jaune and ends up in a sticky situation...
Yang found Jaune outside on the roof, staring out at the sun setting behind the mountains. She sat down next to him, in silence. He glanced up at her, then returned his gaze back to the mountains. He sighed.
"So... How mad was she this time?" He asked.
"Pretty damn mad," Yang said softly. "It was funny at first, but... Damn." She shook her head. "Are you a glutton for punishment or what?"
Jaune's eyes focused on the horizon.
"No."
"So... Why do you keep doing all this?" Yang asked, huffing a little. Jaune shrugged.
"It's... Safer," he said.
Yang blinked, and raised an eyebrow.
"Safer how?"
"Striking out against someone you have no chance against isn't as bad as striking out against someone you think you might have a chance with," he explained. He looked over at Yang and shrugged.
"I mean, Weiss is genuinely beautiful. Talented. Smart. But... Me? I'm just some no-name farmboy. Her family is the richest in Remnant. Mine? Thought I was a failure from the moment I was born."
"G-Geez, Jaune," Yang murmured. She reached out and rested a hand on his shoulder. "They... They're that bad?"
Jaune snorted.
"Every time I talked about my dream... They just told me 'that's cute, sweetie! But don't worry, we'll protect you!' As I got older? They outright told me I had no chance, and would die if I did it."
"I mean... You're here, right?" Yang asked softly. "You're struggling, but you're here, dude. Is that why you keep going after Weiss? Just... Just to prove them wrong?"
"Sort of?" Jaune said, shrugging, "The other part is... She just looked so lonely. And well... If I can make her feel better, then, hey. At least I did something."
"Jeez, Jaune," Yang murmured, "The hell did your family do to you?"
Jaune shook his head.
"They're not the problem. I am," he said softly. Yang ground her teeth. Normally, she would have just backed off and enjoyed the soap opera, but this? This was too much. She had to do something. And hey, Pyrrha would owe her.
She punched his shoulder, hard. He yelped.
"OW! What the hell was that for-?!"
"Weiss hates having to shoot you down!" Yang growled. "She hates having to look like a bitch! Maybe you have good intentions, Jaune, but you're going about it all wrong! If you're not into her, then shoot for someone you are!"
"But... But what if... I mean..." Jaune stuttered. Yang sighed heavily.
"Look. There are girls here who are genuinely into you," she stated firmly, "Girls who are just waiting for you to show any interest! Who do care about you, despite how much of a dork you can be! Hell, to some, that's a bonus!" She looked him right in the eyes.
"All you have to do," she stated, "Is be honest. Honest with yourself, and honest with them! I know you've got plenty of issues with your family-Hell, I can relate! But... Those issues aren't always true! You are not a miserable failure! You're working to realize your dream, and girls CAN care about you! It doesn't have to be love at first sight, either! If you give them a chance... If you give yourself a chance... You two might work out, and find love that way!"
It was something her dad had told her. She'd never really put it into practice, given she had to look after Ruby, but... It sounded right.
Jaune's eyes widened. A spark of comprehension ignited in his eyes as he gaped at her.
"You mean... Someone who's always been there?" Jaune asked. Yang sighed and nodded hard.
"Yes!"
"Someone who I can relate to?"
"Yes!"
"Someone I... I share a lot in common with?"
"YES!" Yang stated, glaring at him. Jaune nodded.
"And... Just push my fear aside, and-and go for it?" He pressed. Yang grinned, nodding furiously.
"Yes! Finally! Finally you're getting it!"
Now, all he had to do was go off, confess to Pyrrha, and everything would-
He leaned in and pressed his lips to hers. The contact was like a live wire, and she felt warm inside and out. It wasn't like she was a stranger to kisses, she wasn't a total virgin, but Jaune's lips seemed to just convey a warmth that hit her right in her brain.
What the...?
He pulled back, his cheeks bright red. He panted, and smiled widely.
"Sorry," he said, "Sorry I was so stupid... So blind..."
"Uhwah...?" Yang managed. Jaune rested a hand on her shoulder.
"So... Uh... Do you want to go to the dance together?" He asked softly. "Unless you already have a date?"
"I... Uh..." She found herself nodding in a daze. His grin made her tingle.
"Great! See you then," he said. He squeezed her shoulder, stood up, and headed off. It wasn't until he closed the door behind him that Yang's brain kicked back into gear.
"Wait, what?!"
Mission... Failed?
