Jaune smiled at the ground. It was an empty smile, however, as inside his head, there was turmoil. His emotions whipped around inside him like a hurricane. Like most people with hurricanes inside of them, Jaune was rather uncomfortable.

All his inner turmoil had started a few weeks ago. He and Pyrrha were training on the roof, like they did quite often. All was good and normal, and he was feeling pretty good about himself, because he had managed to hold his own for a whole minute. But then something happened. So unusual and terrifying that he nearly had a heart attack.

He managed to place a hit on her side.

He had never landed a blow on her before. He'd never even come close. Immediately, he knew something was wrong. He sheathed his sword.

"What was that?" He asked her, having learned Pyrrha enough to know when she was troubled.

"what was what, Jaune? Don't let your guard down like that."she responded and lightly poked him in the stomach with her sword, barely enough for him to feel it.

"I hit you. That has never happened. You were preoccupied. What's wrong?"

She sighed, and sheathed her sword. sitting on the ledge, she looked at him. "Can you keep a secret?"

He looked over the edge, making sure team CRDLs window was shut. He wasn't about to make that mistake again. "Of course I can, Pyrrha. I'm nothing if not trustworthy." he smiled at his crush.

"I... I think I like Blake." She admitted, looking at the ground several stories below, her face turning the color of her armor.

Jaunes heart skipped a beat and nearly fell out of his body. He blinked at her. "Blake Belladona?" He asked. He had no idea that she swang that way.

"Yeah." She swallowed, still blushing very hard. "She's just such a genuinely good person. She only wants to be here to make the world a better place. She just wants to help people. That's pretty rare, even at Beacon."

Jaune looked out over the campus, and sighed. He felt like he had just been stabbed. Gathering himself, he decided he was gooing to help his friend in any way he possibly could. He patted her on the back and got up "So, what are you going to do about this?" He asked her.

"I... I don't know... What can be done?" She sighed so heavily that it actually upset Jaune. He had never seen her this sad. She had always been so powerful and confident. It reminded him of the first time he saw his oldest sister break down.

He patted her on the back. "I have no idea whatsoever. If you hadn't noticed, I'm not the greatest at getting girls" He cringed as he remembered his attempts at flirting with Weiss. One time he'd even brought a guitar... he took a fencing manual to the face.

She laughed at that. "If there's one thing you know how to do Jaune, it's cheer me up." He grinned back at her, and looked at his scroll. It was late.

"Hey Pyrrha, we should get heading back to the dorm." He said, opening the window into the school. "Ladies First" Jaune offered, smiling

"So polite" She said sarcastically and climbed back in through the door.

The walk back to the JNPR dorm was quiet, both of their minds going a million and a half miles an hour. When they got back, Pyrrha and Jaune crept into their respective beds quietly, not wanting to wake Nora and Ren (Who were sleeping in the same bed, Nora very commonly snuck into bed with Ren after he fell asleep. He must have explained that she can't do that a million times. Jaune and Pyrrha just found it adorable).

Jaune lay in his bed silently for a long time. Once he heard Pyrrha snoring, he sighed with every emotion that he had. He noticed a tear roll down his cheek, and quickly wiped it away. He couldn't even begin to know how he felt. He knew he loved Pyrrha, that was obvious, but it got fuzzy after that. He wanted her to be happy, of course, but he also wanted to be with her. When he pictured himself happy, she was always by his side.

He hugged his pillow and mumbled her name very, very softly, and dozed off.

Thanks for reading, Y'all. Any Comments or criticisms are much appreciated, as this is my first time writing and publishing a Fic in quite a while. Just try not to be too cruel. Also, sorry for the short first chapter, I just had to get something down while the idea was in my head. I'll probably update pretty randomly, because APUSH is a bitch. (for those of you who don't have APUSH, It's a history class with a whole lot of homework involved. Super wonderful -_-)
