Blak 10

Yan 4

Weis 4

Well, the crowd has spoken. Blake wins with more votes than Yang and Weiss put together. Now, let's see what kind of strategy will our trio put together...

Chapter 2 - Blake

"So, how was it?" Ruby's concentration was broken as Yang raised her voice from the other side of the room. Her older sister was leaning against a window, casually scrolling through a digital comic on her Scroll. While Blake and Weiss were also in the room Yang had used the tone she used when she wanted to talk with her younger sister.

There were many tones to Yang, but that was hers.

"How was what?"

"The weather tonight. What do you think?" Yang snorted and raised her violet eyes from the scroll to look at her.

"... Oooh, that." Ruby chuckled as she realized what Yang had been referring to. Now, the question was, what could she answer? It was clear what Yang was thinking had happened and she had asked her in front of Blake and Weiss, who were already showing curiosity.

She decided that it was in the interest of her future plans to start shining a different light on her newfound partners. She put on a light version of her patented Ruby Grin and flushed. "You'll never guess who tired last."

"Jaune." Ruby blinked, genuinely surprised. Yang grinned. "Come on! The guy may not be exactly experienced but he's always had endurance!"

"Hehe, I guess you're right. And perseverance!"

"Well, to keep going after Weiss with all the times she shot him down, he has to be." Weiss raised an eyebrow.

"Pyrrha was... Completely inexperienced."

"If she had had any, she would have bagged him a long time ago. How did it even happen, anyway? That's what I can't figure out."

"Well, I found them in our room, actually. They were-"

"Fine! You win." Blake sighed and turned around on her top bunk to look at the two sisters. "What did you do?"

"Win?" The two halfsisters grinned widely. "Why, Blake. You make it sound like we were purposely talking about something in a way to make it sound interesting without giving away too many details so you'd ask."

"Yes, yes, out with it already." Weiss huffed and swiveled her chair around to face the other three girls. "What is it you did? And what do Jaune and Pyrrha have to do with it?"

"Sex usually takes more than one-BLAKE!" Ruby gasped as she saw the faunus fall off her bed but Blake managed to land on all fours.

"Oh my god, Weiss! What did that poor chair do to you?!" Yang asked, eyes wide as a scarlet Weiss now sat on a throne of ice.

"W-W-W-WhatthehelldoyoumeanSEX?!" The Schnee asked, standing up in a hurry from the frozen chair.

"Well, Weiss, when a Hunter and Huntress like each other very very m-"

"Yang, shut up! I'm asking Ruby!" Weiss almost roared and then crossed her arms, waiting for Ruby to answer.

"... Well, Weiss..." Ruby began... And then grinned. "When a Hunter and Huntress-"

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN YOU HAD SEX WITH JAUNE?!"

"And Pyrrha." A groaning Blake added, covering her blushing face with both hands.

"AND PYRRHA-at the same time?" Ruby nodded. "AND PYRRHA AT THE SAME TIME?!"

"Jeez schneeze, Weiss. What's got you so worked up?" The hood-wearing student pouted, covering her ears.

"YOU. JAUNE. PYRRHA. SAME TIME!"

"Thanks for broadcasting to the whole school, by the way." Yang rolled her eyes and pointed at the open window. Weiss slapped both hands over her mouth.

"Seriously, Weiss, I thought you'd be surprised but this is something else." Ruby 'hmmed' as she observed Weiss. "You jealous or something?"

"D-Don't be stupid! You're just too young!" Weiss hissed out, now at a normal volume of voice.

"What?! I'm 15! Yang was already having sex at that age!" Blake turned to Yang who just held up her right index finger and all fingers on her left hand except her thumb.

"Yang is different!" Ruby pouted and started bristling, actually genuinely irritated.

"Oh, because she's the strooooooong and almiiiiiighty Yang and she can punch boulders in two while I'm little no weapons no party Ruby?"

"You know, I meant to ask you. How does that even-"

"Shush, Yang. Ruby, I just... You're kind of more innocent and pure than most people..." Weiss sighed and shook her head, her reddening diffusing somewhat. "I'm afraid you may be taken advantage of or-"

"Weiss, as much as I'd like to stay out of this conversation, Jaune taking advantage of anyone with the compliance of Pyrrha is too ridiculous of a notion for me to not point it out." Blake interjected, shaking her head from side to side. Weiss turned to her but any kind of retort died on the white haired girl's lips.

"... Point taken. Still, it's way too early for you, Ruby!"

"Get off your high horse!" Ruby retorted, crossing her arms over her chest. "What age did you start having sex at?"

"I-" Weiss froze like she had been slapped, her hands going to her chest as if to protect herself. "W-Well, I... It was a more suitable age and..."

"... Oh my god you're still a virgin." Yang snorted out and then started laughing loudly. Weiss whimpered and fell to the ground, hugging her legs. Blake sighed and shook her head, a slight flush on her cheeks while Ruby gaped at her self-proclaimed bff. She was?!

-LR-

"Well, of course she was. I wouldn't have expected anything but from Weiss." Jaune nodded sagely, not surprised in the slightest by Ruby's revelation.

"But she had the gall to try and lecture me!"

"That does sound like Weiss. She feels like she always knows better so she feels it's her duty to share her opinion with others." Pyrrha sighed, shaking her head from side to side before settling her gaze on Jaune again. "But why were you 'expecting' her to still be a virgin at her age?"

"She's a Schnee. Do you think she has had that many opportunities to meet boys her age unsupervised, let alone get intimate with them?" Jaune answered, surprising both female occupants of the mess hall table. They had half an idea he was going to answer with something along the lines of- "Also, only fitting that someone like her should save her virtue for her one true love." Ah, there it was.

"Moving right along..." Pyrrha sighed and turned to Ruby. "Why Blake?"

"Because I like a challenge." Ruby grinned. "Also I've known what makes her click longer than what makes Weiss click."

"Then why not Yang?"

"Because she knows me too well. Only reason I tricked her with the threesome story is because she lied to herself first." Pyrrha 'hmm'-ed and then leaned back in her seat. "So, let's make our team more tight-knight and storied before taking on the big boss, alright?"

"It's tight-knit, Ruby." Jaune corrected before sighing and scratching the back of his head. "So what did you have-" His answer was Ruby placing a hardcover book on the table. The title was kind of esplicative. "That's smut."

"It's delicious filth. This is a library copy of the book Blake started reading again after hearing my fake story." Ruby grinned and opened the book at a certain page, the one with an illustration.

Jaune squinted his eyes, scratching his chin. Pyrrha blinked, rotating her head 45 degrees clockwise. "... How...?"

"Anatomical impossibilities to the side, you can understand why she would feel inclined to go back to this particular book." Ruby giggled and closed the book before pushing it in Pyrrha's direction. "Pyrrha, you're going to be our main attacker, so you need to read this."

"Oh, joy." The redhead flushed but again she had been the one pushing for this partnership.

Even if nothing like the wild story Ruby had told her team-mates was going to happen, she now shared a secret with Jaune. Something just for her, him... And also Ruby, but mainly the two of them. That gave her a fuzzy feeling inside.

No one was going to get between her and that fuzzy feeling.

-LR-

What do you know, reading that novel had actually intensified that fuzzy feeling thanks to the many fantasies it had generated in Pyrrha's mind.

After a close read or two, Pyrrha was convinced that with enough training and a crank even that position wouldn't be impossible.

Anyway, returning to the matter at hand, Pyrrha was executing the plan for slipping past Blake's defenses. She was walking through the dorm's corridor with her head in the book, covered by another book. She only had to half-fake being engrossed in it, too.

Then, as Ruby had said, Blake appeared in sight as she was going back to team RWBY's apartment. Pyrrha raised her head in greeting. "Hi, Blake."

"Pyrrha." The faunus smiled and nodded in greeting before returning her attention on the road ahead while Pyrrha returned hers to her double book.

She understood why Ruby had asked her to spearhead this operation when she was given the details. First, a female fan of the book would probably be less liable to be turned away by the cat faunus.

Second, Jaune was good at taking hits and was getting better and better at everything else but he currently lacked the finesse needed to drop a book from inside another book on top of someone else's foot and make it look like an accident. "Oh!"

"Whoops." Blake's natural reflexes kicked in and she grabbed the book before it could hit her and made to hand it back to Pyrrha. "Didn't take you for the type to..." Blake's eyes slowly widened. "To..."

"Ehm..." Blake had now noticed what kind of book she had caught so it was time for Pyrrha to make her best embarrassed face. She only had to fake half of it, really. Now she had to hope that Ruby was right. "This is just... I mean..."

"I didn't know the library had the hardcover." Score. Blake was flushing but also smiling at Pyrrha and she was actually meeting the redhead's eyes. Pyrrha held her gaze and then softly gasped in mock surprise.

"You too?" Blake nodded. Time to act surprised and excited. "Wow, I... I mean, I've never met another fan before."

"I guess we keep to the shadows." Blake joked, holding the book in front of her chest. "First time you read this?"

"Not really but I felt like re-reading it because of... Recent developments." Pyrrha laughed and scratched her right cheek.

"Ruby may have told us about it." Blake flushed more and shook her head from side to side. "Can't believe she actually had it in her."

"That's what she said." Pyrrha's eyes widened as she realized what she had just said. That wasn't part of the plan. Blake mimicked her surprise and they stared at each other... Blake's lip cracked first. They burst out laughing.

-LR-

"Too close! What was that?!" Ruby harsh whispered as she and Jaune listened to the scene through a open call through Pyrrha's Scroll, which rested in her bag.

"Never underestimate the pull of a 'what she said' joke, Ruby." Jaune explained, chuckling in his right fist.

"So... Do you want to maybe read it together?" Pyrrha's voice echoed from the other side. The plan continued!

-LR-

"... Oh god, we're really doing this." Blake commented as she settled on the bed beside her companion.

"We're just reading." Pyrrha added, trying to reassure the faunus girl as she moved to the right to share the space. "Not like we're going to do... Anything else."

"I know, I know, still..." Blake flushed. She was being silly. It's not like she had never been in a top and shorts in front of another girl before. This was the attire she wore around the apartment when she lazed around. Pyrrha was similarly dressed and you didn't see her being all flustered and uneasy... Although that may be because she had crossed lines that Blake would probably never be able to cross herself.

The black haired beauty sighed, breathing deeply to calm herself before facing Pyrrha again. "So... How do you want to do this?"

"A paragraph each?"

-LR-

"Sounds fair... So you want to read that chapter?"

"The plan is working! The plan is working!" Ruby giggled as the open communication confirmed that so far, everything was sailing smoothly. She got up from her seat on Blake's bed and climbed on her own bunk, reaching for the roof before moving a hidden panel.

"So that's where you came from when you knocked me out." Jaune's observed as he realized that what they had found behind the fridge was kind of a service entrance. Made sense, considering how heavy the fridge was. Also, this way Ruby was protected by someone finding the room accidentally if they came back while the darkroom was exposed.

"Yup! It extends to all the dorms in the room." The blonde's eyes widened.

"Even ours?" She nodded as she climbed inside. Well, of course. That's where she was going, but still... "How the hell did you do that without anyone noticing?"

"I didn't." She didn't? She popped her head out of the opening and grinned. "Was already there! It was like a sign from above! Sneaaaak, Ruby!" So someone, before Ruby had ever set place into the school, had created a series of secret tunnels that connected all the rooms in the first year dormitory, including the secret one she had found? "Alright, remember the plan! You sneak in wheeeeen...?"

"When I hear the sentence 'passion brought their lips together'." Jaune replied. Ruby gave him a thumbs up, disappeared inside the darkness of the tunnel and closed the panel again. "... And in the meanwhile, I can listen in on live reading of smut." He groaned and sat down on Blake's bed, holding Ruby's scroll in his hands.

-LR-

"...she let down Onyx's hair, her ivory skin getting lost in a cascade of obsidian."

'God damn it.' Pyrrha thought. 'She's pretty good.' Blake was, at reading out loud. She had been putting passion and emotional diversity in her reading, to the point that Pyrrha was starting to feel tingly just by listening to her. She could just picture the images in her head and...

"-rha?" And she had been calling her name and she was too distracted to notice. She flushed and turned to the faunus who was smiling, a small flush on her face as well. "Distracted?"

"... Kind of. You're reaaaaally good at reading. I kid you not, if I close my eyes I think I'll see the book playing out in widescreen." Blake chuckled and turned the page.

"Thanks... But I was wondering, do you ever let your hair down?" Pyrrha blinked at Blake's question and mindlessly brought a hand to her ponytail. "I've never seen you in anything but a ponytail."

"They kind of get in the way when I fight... But I like having them this long. I only let them down when I'm in bed."

-LR-

Jaune stared at the Scroll in wonder. He had never seen Pyrrha with her hair down either and as far as he knew, neither had Ren or Nora. 'Scratch only letting them down in bed. She only lets them down when no one's looking.'

"Well, no fighting going on right now."

-LR-

"Hmm..." Truth was, Pyrrha was a bit selfconscious about her hair. She wasn't a vain person but her hair was the one luxury she allowed herself. It was like all of her vainness was concentrated in her hair so letting it down would mean baring that part of her to the world... "... Oh, what the heck." They were kind of bamboozling Blake to get to her hidden side so Pyrrha guessed the faunus deserved to see her own hidden side as well.

Her hand went to undo the tie.

-LR-

"Oh. My. God. Pyrrha, that's beautiful." It was?!

'Damn it, now I'm curious!' Thought Jaune... then he realized he would probably be able to see it when he went into their room.

"I-It's nothing much..."

"No, I swear! That's... Wow. You should definitely let your hair down more."

"A-Anyway." Pyrrha cleared her throat. "As Onyx turned around, their eyes met and passion brought their lips together." Chance! He closed the call and started counting his steps, as practiced. One, two...

-LR-

'Seventeen, eighteen...' Pyrrha was counting too, the seconds until Jaune walked inside their room. "As their soft chests mashed together, Scarlet suddenly stopped. 'Wait' she asked 'What about Dorato?'"

"'Your husband?' Onyx chuckled at Scarlet's sudden hesitance. 'What about him, indeed.'"

"'I can't recall how long his meeting was supposed to take.' Scarlet explained, starting to sweat in worry which added to the physical exertion." Twentyfive, twentysix... Almost there. "'If he saw us like this...'" A panel in the ceiling slowly opened.

"'Let him see us. Let them watch and burn our passion into their minds.' Onyx answered, her hands tightly holding on Scarlet's shoulders." Blake continued. Thirty one, thirtytwo... "'And despair, for they will never-'"

"Damn it, I forgot my Scroll." Thirtyfive. "Sorry to bother you, Pyrrha. I-"

-LR-

Ruby was easily excited. She liked having fun. She liked the feeling of amazement and exhilaration but usually she released her excitement openly, explosively.

The excitement of taking one of her pictures was instead exquisitely private and as such much more concentrated and potent. Her hands almost shook in excitement as her camera fired rapidly, taking dozens of pictures in one second as Blake revealed her hidden side.

Blake was surprised. Shocked. So into the story she had been narrating that she had forgotten the real world, so lulled into security by the fact that this wasn't her room, Pyrrha's presence and the certainty that the redhead had locked the door.

All that came crashing down as Jaune walked into the dimly lighted room -which Ruby had adjusted for, of course- and caused Blake to turn around, eyes wide, ribbon -and ears- straight up and body language signaling that she was ready to bolt. She could feel the way the faunus' heartbeat quickened through her lenses. This! This was what she been looking to capture! A vulnerable, extremely girly Blake, if only for a second! When had anyone ever seen such a Blake?

So focused was Ruby on her goal that she hadn't noticed Pyrrha's new hairdo. Nor did she notice that Jaune's expression of stone-faced surprise wasn't a fake.

-LR-

Jaune had been expecting little clothing. That he was prepared for.

"J-Jaune!" Pyrrha's expression of fake surprise and Blake's very real surprise, going scarlet up to her ears as she realized in what situation she had been caught. That he had been also prepared for.

But nothing could have prepared him for what he saw on that bed.

He had said he was curios, hand't he? Well, there she was. Pyrrha with her hair down.

Positioned in a way that showed him the soles of her feet and the shapeliness of her rump and legs, defined and toned from years of training, enveloped in a sea of red hair which coupled with the dim lightning reflecting off it only served to further exalt and enhance her eyes. Her skin. Her shapes. Her everything.

"... Blake." He suddenly let out, his hands slowly balling into trembling fists. "I'm sorry for the intrusion but could you please leave me alone with my team-mate?"

-LR-

Ruby raised an eyebrow. What was going on? This wasn't in the plan.

-LR-

Pyrrha gulped and she swore she saw Blake shiver. "I... Uhm..." The faunus stuttered.

"Now, Blake!" And then jumped on the bed and off of it, putting her shoes half-on again before running past Jaune and out of the room. Pyrrha gasped. Had that just happened?!

And... She found that she wasn't surprised it had, to tell the truth. There had been... Something in Jaune's voice, just now. In his words before too, but now it had been-

"Pyrrha." There it was again! Pyrrha removed her eyes from Blake's figure as the door closed and she settled them on Jaune's face-

'Holy SHIT!' She shivered and felt the need to sit up and raise her legs, putting them between her body and Jaune as he walked closer to her. 'H-His expression... His stare...' "J-Jaune, what are you-"

"No." He said and Pyrrha shut up. She had actually shut up! The blonde sat on the bed in front of her and the warrior gasped loudly as he grabbed her wrists. "Enough talking."

"J-J-Jaunehmmmm!" Her eyes widened but she couldn't gasp any longer, her air supply suddenly cut off. "HmHMhmmMM! Hmmm...! Hmm... ... Hmmmmmmm..."

-LR-

Ruby was certain that her hair had become completely red. It was a physical impossibility but she felt it was the only possible reaction to what was happening below her. She moved the panel back into place and hastily retreated into the tunnel.

Call her a voyeur but that was something she didn't feel ready to record yet.

-End of Chapter 2-

I have this theory that if Pyrrha had been allowed to let her hair down at any point during the series, she would have cut that love triangle dead like the Gordian Knot.

Anyway, new voting session! This time, by leaving a review, you can choose between...

1) Yang

2) Penny

3) Velvet
