Pyrrha bent her knees and shifted her shoulders as she readied another blow. Jaune let out a deep breath and raised his arms up to block her kick. The blow was solid and the blond shook under the impact but he bent his knees and leant into the blow, allowing him to keep his balance. Pyrrha smiled at him as he with stood her attack yet again but she had little time to admire his progress as he grabbed her leg and stepped in.
In the months since she had begun helping Jaune hone his skills the blond had made leaps and bounds in his fighting ability. An advancement that had not gone un noticed by some of his more critical professors.
She came in to meet him and sent a punch into the boy's chest. The blow winded him and Jaune shrunk back as he tried to breath.
Pyrrha's mouth hung opened, the all too common 'I'm sorry,' just moments from her lips but before she could say those all to familiar words Jaune stepped forwards he sent a palm strike to her cheek staggering her, before he gripped her arm and turned away from her.
He held her wrist with one hand and brought the crook on his elbow under her shoulder.
The red headed girl barely had time to be impressed with his speed before the world started spinning.
She brought her head to her chest and flattened her body as her back made contacted with the roof.
She looked up, slightly dazed as Jaune stood over her, still gripping her wrist, a triumphant smile on his face.
"Looks like you let your guard down Pyrrha." He cooed sweetly to her.
The soft tone of his voice sent shivers down the girl's spine. She looked from her wrist to him and smiled. Jaune had just enough time to realises what was about to happen as Pyrrha grabbed his wrist and brought him down to her, bringing her legs up as she did so to form an arm lock.
Quicker after months of training Jaune twisted in an attempt to avoid the arm bar.
Pyrrha was strong and as she pulled Jaune's knees buckled and the young blond soon found himself falling right on top of her.
He held his arms out to brace himself for the fall as both of them let out a noise of surprise from the unexpected turn of events.
Jaune fell on top of her, and in that one moment of startled panic their lips brushed against each other's.
Pyrrha felt herself tremble in that beautiful moment of intimacy as their lips touched; she used the moment to kiss him gently. Jaune just seemed to lay there, completely shell shocked by the sudden turn of events.
His eyes suddenly went wide as he realised what he was doing, and although a part of him wanted it, he was nervous, and was unaware of Pyrrha's feeling from him.
And so, as was common among most 'inexperienced' young men, instead of going with the moment he panicked.
"Oh, uh sorry!" the young blond stammered nervously as he stood up, taking a few precautionary steps backwards.
Pyrrha was still for a moment before the thought occurred to her to stand up. She began to blush as she stood up. Their eyes met and both were lost for words, looking away awkwardly.
"I, uh, I'm, um, I'm really sorry about that Pyrrha." Jaune mumbled nervously as he rubbed his arms, shifting his weight from foot to foot.
He seemed to be looking every which way but hers. As Jaune stood there twitching nervously Pyrrha felt her heart sink. "I-It's alright Jaune," She reassured him. "It was an accident."
Jaune's nervousness seemed to ease off as she spoke. "Yea, um, right, yea, an accident, I'm sorry." He mumbled.
If the boy actually had the nerve to look at her face, he would have seen the sad smile that curled her soft lips. "It's okay Jaune, really." She said reassuringly to him. "I think that's enough practice for today." She said as she began walking to the door.
Jaune nodded and followed her nervously.
The walk back to their dorm room was painfully silent as nether one of them could think of something to say to the other.
"Hello!" Nora all but shouted at them as the two entered their dorm room. The suddenness of it all coupled with their current absentmindedness had both young students jumping back.
Seeing their reaction Nora began laughing to herself as she jumped up and down on her bed.
"So~" The orange haired girl said in a sing song voice. "How was practice?" She asked innocently.
Both Jaune and Pyrrha were at a loss for words as they began thinking about the kiss they had shared. They just stood there babbling incoherently. Nora stopped her jumping and Ren – who had been quietly reading on his own bed, was looking at the two of them with interest.
"Training was fine." Pyrrha finally managed to say without stuttering.
"Uh, yea," Jaune confirmed weakly.
Ren and Nora shared a suspicious glance before turning their attention back to their team mates.
They were both clearly nervous and hiding something and both of them were beyond curious.
The two of them began shifting their weight nervously as they began babbling again, unable to get through a single sentence without stuttering or dropping off suddenly.
"It's been a long day." Pyrrha finally said, "And we're both really tired, so I think we'll call it a night if you don't mind." She said, directing the last part at Ren seeing as he was reading.
The black haired boy shrugged as he put a book mark in the book and closed it gently, putting it on his side table.
"It's fine." He said in his usual bland tone.
Pyrrha and Jaune nodded almost excitedly as the rushed over to their beds, grabbed their pyjamas and disappeared into the side rooms at either end of their dorm room.
Nora and Ren looked at each other.
"Well that was weird." Nora said as she collapsed onto her bed.
"Indeed." Ren agreed as he began to get into his own bed.
"So what do you think happened?" Nora asked.
Ren shrugged. "I have no idea, though it has to have been something, they were both acting, weird."
Nora giggled, "Well that's an understatement," She said. Her voice trailed off and her eyes glazed over in that all too familiar way.
Ren sighed to himself, wondering what crazy hypothesis his friend was concocting. He didn't have to wait long. A moment later the girl gasped as she sat bolt upright.
"Maybe they killed Cardin!" She said exasperatedly.
Ren raised an eyebrow at the statement wondering how in the hell Nora had come to that conclusion. "I doubt it Nora," He said softly.
"Think about it." The orange haired girl continued. "His dorm room is right below where they train, so maybe he came up for something and they bumped into him and then BAM! Cardin sized pancake in the court yard."
Ren sighed. "I really doubt that's the case Nora, they probably just-." Ren suddenly hushed up as both Pyrrha and Jaune emerged from their respective side rooms.
Their eyes met for a brief moment and the two blushed before looking away. Jaune tuned the lights out as Pyrrha got into bed.
"Good night," She said to no one in particular as she got into her bed and faced away from everyone.
"G-good night," Jaune stuttered awkwardly as he stumbled back to his bed.
As the moon light filtered into the dark room thought the open window Ren and Nora looked at each other for a moment before they shrugged and closed the window to get some sleep. They were insanely curious now about what had happened between the two during their training session, but they could figure that out in the morning.
Okay, so I may or may not have watched RWBY through 2 times in as many days, initially cause it had been a while and secondly cause a friend of mine hadn't see it.
It was on the second viewing and said friend complaining about the lack of make-outs between these two that prompted this piece.
Until next time I wish you all the best.
Yours truly.
