I'm You!

Jaune opened his eyes with a massive headache.

He'd had a few terrible ideas in his life, ones that lead to destruction of property, others to broken bones, and even others that led to bald siblings... which in turn led to broken bones.

But this? This was threatening to take the cake, as Jaune looked down with frustrating and incredibly conflicted feelings from where he lay sprawled out on the rooftop.

"Boobs."

Yes, they were breasts, and arguably a very fine pair at that. But with the voice of the Mistrali champion being the one to convey Jaune's thoughts and confirm the reality he was still living, Jaune knowingly sighed an unintentionally feminine sigh.

He was still in Pyrrha's body.

"Well this... isn't ideal," Pyrrha remarked, but with Jaune's voice echoing throughout the rooftop as the blonde sat up with an evident bump on his head still being healed by Aura, "I suppose merely fainting together didn't suffice, after all."

"Ya think?" a very frazzled Pyrrha retorted informally, her blazer already dusty and undone before she too sat up and awkwardly readjusted her bra, "And how on Remnant do women even manage to breathe in these things!? Stupid, boob-crushing, death traps!"

"Well you're not wrong... they used to fit me in the beginning of the year, but I fear that I may be overdue for a resizing since apparently I'm still, er, growing," Jaune explained with a fair level of embarrassment before his eyes widened at the sight of Pyrrha coming to a standing position in a very unladylike fashion considering she was wearing only a skirt and panties, "Erm... you may want to be a bit more careful with how you move while wearing the school uniform since you opted out from the stockings earlier."

At that, Jaune snapped, his new emerald eyes twitching once more as the redhead balled her fists to the side before shouting, "Pyrrha! I shouldn't have to worry since I shouldn't be like this right now! I'm at a breaking point here, y'know! I'm just, like, so confused right now and today has been so hard and I'm really uncomfortable cuz I'm not a girl and now I have to act like one! Do you have any idea what it's been like!?"

"Of course I do!" the physical Jaune finally cried out having snapped as well, Pyrrha's fiery tirade stopped in its tracks as the blonde now stood with tears welling in his eyes, "Jaune! Don't you realize we've both been caught in this mess!? I know that my physical body can handle the stress, and even a few gaffes without hurting our team's standing, but I'm more worried about you! I've always been!"

The redhead blinked a few times before cringing with irked confusion, "And I thought I told you I was over all that macho crap! But that doesn't mean you have to coddle me, either! I want your help to be a good leader, not a damsel in distress... and definitely not to become a damsel for the rest of my life! If you weren't so detached about it all the time, maybe you'd be able to see that!"

"Jaune, you still don't get it!" the blonde retorted hotly, the first warm tear dripping down his cheek, "I know you're fine, but I am you now! In your body which as far as anyone else is concerned is you! So it's the physical you I'm worried about! Don't you realize I've been on the verge of breaking down all day? But well aware that doing so wouldn't hurt my reputation, but yours? Jaune, I could never forgive myself if I damaged the progress you've made now after Forever Fall with mistakes that simply came from me not knowing how to be a man! ...much less a leader."

Pyrrha closed her eyes, her hair down and held in place only by a nondescript black headband that left the rest flowing in the wind, before gritting her teeth to correct course.

"Look, Pyr. I don't blame you for any of this. I know I asked for your help in the first place, and I know I had to get over myself from before to do it," the redhead spoke as her emerald eyes opened again, but with a much softer glint in them than before, "But don't you realize that acting all aloof about this from this morning and bottling it all up is just the exact same thing I was doing before? I mean, I woke up alone... in your body. No one was there for me, and I bet it was the same for you who woke up only to see your own body in the bed across from you."

Jaune's quivering lip stilled before his gaze went to the floor with a sigh, "You're right. It was extremely distressing."

"Right, see?"

"Then... then what was I supposed to do?" Jaune muttered, his hand coming up to hold his opposite elbow in a vulnerable stance, to which Pyrrha stepped forward to place a hand on his shoulder.

"This. Right here, what we're doing now."

Cerulean eyes turned to look down at the young woman's face in front of him before the blonde wrapped his arms around her, Pyrrha returning the favor eventually by wrapping her arms against a broad back that used to be her own.

"Thank you, Jaune," Jaune finally stated before separating form the hug with a sniffle, "I'm sorry I came so close to repeating the very mistake I had warned you against once."

"Eh, it's alright," Pyrrha replied easily with a hand on her hip, adopting a wider stance that usually would be seen on a guy before flipping some of the locks of red hair that had gotten in front of her face with an idle flick of the other wrist, "I got over it by trusting you, remember? So let's both work on it now so we can get out of this. My Semblance has to have a trigger and I bet we're onto something already."

"Well, do you trust me, then?" Jaune asked indicatively, Pyrrha nodding with a big smile but whose nod began slowing considerably as Jaune continued, "Then in which case, may I recommend the back up plan we agreed to...? The, er... the kiss. It's our only other lead..."

By the time Jaune finished speaking, Pyrrha had already lost nearly all the bravado in her stance, poking both index fingers together with a deep blush forming on her face.

"W-We really did that, didn't we...?" she eked out, Jaune sending a small benign smile in the direction of the body that used to be his own.

"Yes. Was... Was I your first kiss?"

Pyrrha's expression quickly became bewildered, pointing out with evident discomfort as she cried out, "H-Hey! I mean, that's not the kind of thing you just up and ask someone, is it!? Because yeah sure if I had to say it, okay, I mean, yeah, but don't laugh or anything, y-you got it!? I know it must sound pretty sad, a seventeen-year-old who still hasn't even g-gotten a kiss yet...!"

"Jaune, it's not like that at all," Jaune retorted softly, "Because you... you were my first as well."

Pyrrha stopped in her tracks at that, her gaze wide and surprised at that news.

"...eh?"

"Yes, I've... never been kissed before."

"E-Even though, you're like, a celebrity and stuff?" Pyrrha stuttered out, increasingly shocked before clearly motioning at herself with a sultry pose, "I mean, look at you! Who wouldn't want the chance for romance with someone like you, especially after getting to know you! I mean, do people not even realize what kind of amazing person you are!? Pyr, you're awesome!"

Jaune blinked owlishly at the brazen compliments from the redhead who'd likely gotten too fired up to realize just what she was saying, turning his gaze to the side to hide the depth of his blush while adding meekly with a small shrug, "Well... y-you'd be surprised... I've been blessed with incredible talents and opportunities. I'm constantly surrounded by love and praise, but when you're placed on a pedestal like that for so long, you become separated from the people that put you there in the first place."

Jaune turned back to face Pyrrha whose jaw simply continued slack in disbelief.

"Everyone assumes I'm too good for them. That I'm on a level they simply can't attain. It's become impossible to form any sort of meaningful relationship with people," he continued before locking his gaze with hers, "That's what I like about you. When we met, you didn't even know my name. You treated me just like anyone else. And thanks to you, I've made friendships that will last a lifetime. I guess, you're the kind of guy I wished all along I'd share my first kiss with. Someone who just saw me for me."

The young woman simply deflated with a sigh in exasperation before echoing, "Me?"

"W-Well, so to speak!" Jaune countered, backpedaling quickly when it seemed the reaction of the recipient wasn't as desired, "It certainly wouldn't have been an experience I would want to share with someone accidentally. And of course, never in my wildest dreams would I have expected this might happen as a result. But if it's your Semblance, it can't be helped... If we unlocked it by accident, it doesn't mean we can't help you maser it on purpose. Just... think of it as Accelerated Aura Training to go along with our usual training bouts."

Pyrrha's gaze returned to normal, a glint of realization flashing through her eyes as she smacked her fist over her open palm on the other hand, "Hoh! That's right! Yeah, you got a point there, I mean, this isn't exactly the kind of Semblance you can just practice with anyone, right!? So this actually works out really well; it makes sense when you put it that way!"

Jaune blinked as the young woman dramatically pointed a finger at him and completely melted his heart with a winning grin despite the fact it came from her own face as she proclaimed, "Pyrrha Nikos! You are the best partner a guy could ever ask for! We're gonna figure out my Semblance and train to become the best partners and team that ever graduated Beacon!"

After a beat of silence, Pyrrha still deflated anyway as she nervously scratched the back of her neck in a way only Jaune would, "But uh... any chance we could test our kiss theory somewhere less... open?"

"How's this?" Jaune asked, the pair sitting alone in their dorm on Pyrrha's bed.

Pyrrha looked around nervously as if their teammates were hidden behind any random corner before replying with a wince, "I mean, it's definitely private. But, isn't it a little risky? If Ren and Nora walk in..."

"Well, it's still too early in the year for first-years to have unrestricted access to all facilities, much less classrooms. I fear if we were to try anywhere else, it could put us at much greater risk of being cited for PDA, or worse: being subjected to a forced partner change."

Emerald eyes flew wide open, Pyrrha's red hair bobbing all around as she adamantly shook her head, "And that's a noooo to that! Alright fine, let's uh... let's do this then."

Jaune nodded, leaning towards the young woman whom he used to be who was leaning back towards him, continuously fighting back the growing heat in his cheeks as the Mistrali's voice in his head psyched herself up for it.

'It's... it's just a kiss to bring us back to normal. Nothing to it, you're a four-time champion who's handled all sorts of high-stress situations! Simply handle it with poise and grace and-asldjasscpadncpdicdcdwpcon-'

Their lips met, at that moment erasing all thoughts in her mind as the plump sensation of her lips became the firm softness of Jaune's. It'd only lasted a moment, but it'd brought a serenity Pyrrha had never quite felt before... and opening her eyes to see a certain blonde leader already checking his own hands and groin area with pure elation, she couldn't help but feel joy, either.

At least, up until all the color in her face drained at the sight of their two absolutely gobsmacked teammates standing behind Jaune at the door.

"Pyr, that... that was amazing!" Jaune cried out, adding to her mortification even more as he continued, "I mean, wow, it was a bit jarring at first but, I-I can get used to this! Can't wait to do this again and figure out how to really get the hang of- hey, you okay?"

"Well," Ren began with a silent gulp at the sight, getting a shocked Jaune's attention as he continued, "That was..."

Pyrrha's heart fell, already feeling her stomach sinking too at the prospect of a team change, starting from square one, and leaving the first boy she ever truly liked to his own devices with a Semblance that would be difficult to work with at best and go without developing ever at worst-

"...much faster than anticipated."

Pyrrha and Jaune each froze, blinking once in tandem as Nora suddenly hooted in celebration with a fist bump. They each blinked again as Ren procured a chit of twenty lien from his pocket and gave it to a certain grinning Valkyrie.

Jaune was the first to weakly break the silence, "I-I can explain..."

After the next half hour, he somewhat had, leaving the Renora pair to deliberate the evidence and possibilities, no matter how improbable they were at first glance. Ren silently paced between Jaune's and Pyrrha's beds, the appropriate student told to stay seated separately on their own bed, of course, while Nora leaned on a dresser by the wall between said beds victoriously counting her well-earned lien again.

"This is rather peculiar," he began quietly, his gaze always facing forward towards the floor as he rounded another leg to his steady pacing, "There hasn't been a Semblance categorized with such abilities in the past. This is on the spectrum of psychic abilities for sure, either as light as a simple mental illusion or something much much deeper, even down to the level of souls..."

"Meh, I say they just got the hots for each other and couldn't hold it back anymore," Nora retorted giddily from where she stood, "I mean, Pyrrha's had it out for him since initiation, it was only a matter of time before he finally figured it out!"

Pyrrha looked as if she'd been stabbed, the wind knocked out of her with a bewildered expression that went completely missed by Jaune as he asked, "She's had what?"

Ren paused his pacing, both he and Nora each glancing at each other and back at Jaune before adopting similar expressions of disbelief.

"Wait... he doesn't kno-?" Ren began, only for Nora to turn to Pyrrha with a look of inexplicable betrayal on her face.

"Did you drug him!? Ugh, I have to give this money back if you both get together by illegal means!"

Pyrrha looked like she was about to faint from shame alone while Jaune stepped in to stick up for her, "Nora! We don't even know what you're talking about! You know me! And you know Pyrrha, too - and I don't even know why she'd try and drug me for something like a kiss! For the last time, it was an accident! And it caused us to switch bodies, and it can only be reversed with another kiss!"

"Hm. It does explain each of your behaviors as of this morning," Ren admitted for the point, both he and Nora looking up towards the ceiling as flashbacks went through their minds.

Jaune stunning everyone with poise and presence that seemed to instantly make him a known figure in Beacon in only a matter of hours.

Pyrrha stunning everyone without her ever-present circlet or usually formal way of speaking, seeming inexplicably more human and approachable as a result.

Ruby stunned by Jaune going a whole day without a single accident or trip over his own shoelaces.

Blake stunned by PYRRHA tripping over random objects instead.

Weiss stunned by an entire day without Jaune trying some D-rate pickup line on her.

Yang stunned by the way Pyrrha messily packed away as much lunch as she and Nora.

Nora stunned by Jaune actually paying attention in class and getting answers right to stuff.

Ren stunned by Pyrrha's complete lack of decorum and the litany of accidental panty-shots he unbiddingly got that one hour they sat across form each other in class.

"Yeahhh," Nora drawled as if accepting the point before shaking her head anyway, "But nah. All I see is just an elaborate little plot to go out together without getting told on by us or anyone else even though we'd totally let you guys do what you want! I mean, Jaune's dorky around Pyrrha, and Pyrrha, you're totally adorable around Jaune! You guys are like, THE most adorkable couple Beacon has ever seen! The only way you could possibly prove it's your Semblance is if one of us were to kiss you right here and now!"

Jaune balked at the proposition but set his jaw regardless, determined to clear the name of the one partner he could never stand to see slighted by misinformation.

"Fine. If that's how it's gotta be, then I'll do it right here and now. Just kiss me and you'll see."

At that, Nora's face went pink with a scandalized reaction of revolt.

"No way! I'm saving my first kiss for someone super special to me already! Ren! You kiss him!"

Pyrrha, who was more or less recovering from nearly having her feelings for Jaune outed right then, still couldn't resist a slow pair of blinks at the hammer maiden's logic. Even more shocking was how Ren only gave it a moment's thought before nodding and approaching Jaune.

"Very well. I'm extremely curious about this ability of yours and what it means as to how far Aura can go."

And without further ado, Jaune sat stunned as Ren clasped his hand around Jaune's chin and tilted it upwards to lock lips with him. When they separated, Pyrrha and Nora could be seen breathless and wide-eyed sitting on Pyrrha's bed together to better watch the unbelievable situation that had just unfolded right in front of them.

"W-Wow," was all Nora could eke out when a much calmer Jaune than usual stood and surveyed his body.

"Indeed, this is rather peculiar," he noted as he ran his hand through his blonde locks, everyone only being snapped out of their reverie when Ren accidentally tripped backwards over the corner of Jaune's bed with a yell.

"Yep. That's Jaune."

"There really isn't any other way to put it: I have, by all intents and purposes, truly witched bodies with Jaune," Jaune continued with a mellow evaluating tone, placing a hand to his chin in thought in a way Nora knew very well only Ren would, "The possibilities are endless. What I'd like to know is if Jaune can still switch with someone after switching."

"Eh?" Ren retorted, sitting up with a confused expression while looking at everyone in the room, "You mean, like me kissing someone while I'm you?"

"It's all the same to me. I'll allow it."

Ren blinked a few times, his magenta eyes meeting Pyrrha's questioning gaze for a moment before slowly standing and brushing off his white trousers.

"Well, okay Pyr," he began before walking over to the Mistrali's immediate space and going down on his knees so neither had to stand for the kiss, "He does make a point, and I guess having a few extra people willing to test my Semblance with won't hurt. Here goe-"

"NO!" Nora's voice suddenly rang out, Ren turning abruptly to see her with her arms crossed and a petulant pout on her lips, "Fine, I've decided you'll kiss me, then!"

"Huh? W-Why the sudden change? I'm not actually Ren."

"Don't question it!" she cried out with evident nerves in her quivering voice, "J-Just, there's still the principle to it, okay!?"

Ren turned to face Pyrrha, who shrugged, and then to Jaune, who also shrugged, before scooting over in front of Nora and staying on one knee before puckering up.

"W-Wait!" she retorted with uncharacteristic bashfulness, shoving a hand into Ren's face as hers went pink, "I-I need a little more time! Girl's gotta emotionally prepare herself for this kind of thing, y'know!?"

"T-Tek yer taime," Ren muttered from behind her palm.

A minute or so later, both Nora and Ren were face to face on Pyrrha's bed right beside her, the two locking gazes for what they knew what was to come.

"O-Okay," Nora consented with a nod before Ren slowly closed in, taking his hand around her head and through a few of her ginger locks. The sensation of his hand through her hair was just as divine to the young Valkyrie as the kiss itself, a sudden shift in perspective signaling her to the fact that she was the one with her hand around someone else's head before even realizing.

Jaune watched wide-eyed from nearby, seeing his body kissing his hammer-wielding partner with a suddenly parched throat, "Hoh... that, wow."

Any spell between the two was immediately broken when Ren's magenta eyes flew wide open and the grin that sprouted on him went from ear to ear. Regardless, the sight of a giddy Ren was not one that anyone wanted to commit to memory anytime soon.

"Oh WOW!" he began, wrapping his arms around himself in as many ways as he could while he gushed on and on, "I'm RENNY BEAR! This is the best day of my life! I'm gonna sloth hug myself all day and dress myself and try on ALL THE CLOTHES and oh my gosh I can finally PEE STANDING UP! Berightback!"

"Nora, n-!" Jaune cried out after her, the bathroom door already open and shut within a second, "And she's gone."

Jaune and Pyrrha turned only to see a very still Nora planted firmly on Pyrrha's bed, her face a shade of tomato red as disturbed turquoise eyes belied the screaming young man within.

"Um... that's... a very chilly draft under Nora's skirt," Nora finally eked with nearly traumatized realization before slowly turning to Pyrrha with apologetic mortification, "And uh... I think... you're gonna wanna wash your sheets, Pyr..."

Another hour or so later, Ren was sitting on his bed - well, Pyrrha's bed, since it was Pyrrha currently inside him - which had all its sheets removed and currently in the wash while he busily typed notes into Pyrrha's scroll.

"This, this is the sauciest of awesomesauce," Jaune noted aloud with a wide lecherous grin that didn't quite fit Jaune's usual expressions, sitting beside Ren as he looked up on the spectacle going on over Jaune's bed.

Pyrrha looked up and couldn't quite bring herself to argue against the allure of the very odd out-of-body experience: Nora and Pyrrha on all fours across form each other on Jaune's bed, each one's uniforms partly undone after all the hot and heavy experimentation as half-lidded gazes into each other's eyes preceded an impending rendezvous of pairs of pink lips.

"It's like, yeah that's two women, but they're secretly two men inside," Jaune noted with what was clearly Nora's way of speaking at a view she would burn into her mind forever, "You should, like, take a picture... it'll last longer."

Ren cocked a brow at that, "Nora, I don't think taking snapshots of-"

Ren paused, deadpanning at a camera shutter that just signaled Jaune taking a picture of Nora and Pyrrha mid-kiss on the actual Jaune's scroll.

"I'll send that to myself after I take this next quick vid."

Ren rolled his eyes, though the young redhead within was blushing madly, slightly enthralled with the idea of the surprise Jaune would get upon seeing such an admittedly attractive scene on his phone should he look through it. These were things Pyrrha never would've imagined she'd be okay with, or much less do, to vie for the attentions of her love interest, but now that the bridge had been crossed... well, it was another story. She considered herself lucky enough to even have a partner like Jaune in the first place considering her fame and fortune, and even moreso did she appreciate her team now, who were willing to come together and help Jaune explore what would've otherwise been a grievous Semblance. Could it be good for combat? Who knew, but whatever his abilities were, this was something new and exciting in the world of Remnant. She would be happy to help Jaune reach his full potential, no matter what it took.

Their attention was taken by Nora and Pyrrha unlocking lips over the bed and scooting over to the side of the mattress to catch their breath, their teammates unable to tell who was in whose body at the moment. Pyrrha turned to Nora, speaking up first with initiative that the girls - currently guys - could tell was Jaune.

"Well, that was definitely, uh... informative. I think we can call it a day," Pyrrha began with Nora nodding in agreement before speaking up with uncharacteristic mellowness that threw off everyone just as much as bubbly Ren.

"Yes. I think it's safe to confirm that your Semblance activates at an Aural level, fundamentally trading the entire soul itself between bodies with each and every kiss. It doesn't transfer memories, but does transmit a few types of muscle memory, which can potentially help Jaune as far as combat training goes. Any other combat applications are currently unknown, as are any other ways to switch back and forth without an actual kiss involved."

Ren raised a thumb in acknowledgment across the room, "Perfect. It's been noted."

Pyrrha nodded, glancing down at the shorter Nora with a smile for everyone, "Thank you guys. So much. It's been a huge help. Wanna switch back one more time, Ren? That way you just kiss yourself and then I kiss myself and everyone's back to normal."

Nora raised her hand to her chin in thought, "Well since you're the only one who can switch, it wouldn't be so fast. I believe you'd have to kiss yourself, then my literal self, and then Pyrrha so we all return to normal... but sure, I'll kiss you anyway."

Without a second's hesitation, both young women locked lips with Nora placing her hands behind Pyrrha's head, Ren taking more notes and Jaune taking more video...

CREEEAK

"Hey, Jaune. Ruby told me to come by and a-"

The amber-eyed girl froze. The two women inside froze mid-kiss. The two young men froze from on top of Pyrrha's bare mattress.

Blake blinked to make sure she was seeing things right. Nora Valkyrie and Pyrrha Nikos either standing or with a leg still on Jaune's bed in a full liplock, and dare she say some tongue in play, Jaune enthusiastically recording the encounter, and Ren leisurely texting as it all happened in front of him.

No one even noticed the small nosebleed making its way out her nose before Pyrrha now reached out in a panic, "I-I can explain-!"

zzZZzZzzZRT

And just like that, all of team JNPR gaped at a now unconscious ravenette at the floor of their dorm's threshold who'd clearly just been electrocuted into unconsciousness by Pyrrha.

Nora's eyes widened in nearly unspeakable awe, "Jaune... just used Nora's Semblance... from Pyrrha's body..."

Ren raised a thumb in acknowledgment after typing in the new information, "Perfect. It's been noted."

However, Jaune still gawked at the young woman's unconscious body with a small plume of smoke fizzing at her head.

"Okay Renny, you pull her in since I don't think Jaune-Jaune has the strength for that just yet," Jaune directed neutrally before slowly dragging a palm down his face under the weight of irony which had just befallen them for toying with the laws of nature, "And can someone PLEASE remember to lock the damn door next time!? Jeez!"

A/N: The hell is wrong with me. Seriously, aish...

I truly have gone mad - and to the users who messaged me about a similar anime to this premise... good lord, nothing's original anymore. But that anime was so good I binge-watched all 12 episodes in about 5 hours! However, there will be no witches in this fic. Just Maidens lol. Hint hint.

I've decided to make this story a five-shot, by the way. I'll update it when I can. Nothing crazy here, but you're welcome to Fave, Follow, and Review as you wish! Until next time; take care, stay healthy...

And Happy Reading!
