After dinner on their first night visiting Mistral, the three girls had retired to Pyrrha's room and were now snuggled up on her bed. The leggy redhead was in the middle and on her back, with a girlfriend curled up on either side of her.

"This feels so very strange," Pyrrha murmured, running her hands through each girl's hair. She made sure to scritch a bit at the base of Blake's Faunus ears now that she'd removed her bow.

"How so?" Ruby murmured, running her bare foot along the redhead's leg.

"Well… being in here. In my home, with the two of you… in my bed that I grew up in…" She sighed softly, staring up at the ceiling. "It's just… odd."

Ruby smiled, leaning up to plant a kiss on the side of her neck. Her hand was clasped with Blake's, and she ran her thumb along the back of the Faunus girl's hand while she looked around the room idly.

The brunette wasn't sure what she had expected, perhaps a stark room full of nothing but inspirational posters and the like. But the room she found herself in wasn't all that dissimilar to her own back on Patch, if a little smaller.

Pyrrha's bed rested in the center of the bedroom along the back wall, covered in a pale red comforter and sheets. By the window stood a small desk, currently cleaned off of any clutter, as well as a comfortable reading chair. Against the opposite wall, and in between the closet door and attached bathroom, was a long dresser with a mirror. Along the edges of the mirror were some photos, some of her with her parents at various stages of her life, others of her with friends she must have attended school with. And then adorning the walls were a mixture of nature prints and posters of some noteworthy Hunters. Including, much to her amusement, one of a much younger-looking Glynda Goodwitch.

"Didn't peg you for being a member of the Glynda fanclub," she giggled lightly.

"Er… well, she was a very famous Huntress you know, before she took up a teaching position at Beacon…"

Blake propped her head up on her hand and looked down on the redhead. "Are you blushing, fluffy fox?' she asked with a mischievous glint in her amber orbs.

"W- What? No, of course not!"

Ruby leaned up as well, grinning down at her flustered girlfriend. "You totally are! Oh my Oum, did you have a crush on her growing up?"

"I… N- No, certainly not…" Pyrrha was unable to look either girlfriend in the eye, however.

Ruby and Blake shared a humorous grin. "Just when you think you know a girl…" the Cat Faunus snickered softly.

"...You find out they have a thing for authority figures," Ruby completed with a giggle.

Pyrrha huffed and closed her eyes, though her mouth was curved into a rueful smile. "You are both ridiculous."

"Hmm, maybe we could do some roleplaying sometime," the brunette said, carefully watching for the redhead's reaction. "Blake, you could totally pull off the naughty school teacher look."

"Mmm. I could, couldn't I?" the raven-haired girl mused with a small smirk.

Pyrrha's emerald green eyes shot open again as she hitched a breath. "Y- You are both teasing me now," she stammered.

"Who's teasing?" Ruby breathed as she leaned down and brushed her lips against Pyrrha's. "Wouldn't you like the idea of being… disciplined by Mistress Blake?"

"Perhaps not just yet," Pyrrhe squeaked out, her voice an octave higher than usual. She cleared her throat, blushing furiously, as she glanced between the smirking brunette and the raven-haired girl who was desperately trying to hold back her hysterical giggles. "That is… We could discuss this. Back at Beacon."

Ruby frowned slightly as a thought came to her. "Hey, fluffy fox… You know we don't have to do… anything… here that would make you uncomfortable, right?"

The redhead blinked her eyes at her. "Er… yes, I do. I appreciate the thought. It's just… strange. And besides the point, really."

"What do you mean?" Blake asked as she lay her head back down on Pyrrha's shoulder.

Ruby, though, shifted over so that she was halfway lying on top of the redhead. Her arms were crossed in front of her and she propped her chin there, looking up at Pyrrha as she stared at the ceiling once more.

"My parents are so very different from your father, Ruby," the taller girl began hesitantly. "Tai was… wonderfully accepting, truly. I could tell he was comfortable, well as much as he was able to be, with the idea of us being… together… under your roof. Mine, however…" She exhaled slowly. "I feel as if it were a huge victory to even be sleeping in the same room, not to mention the same bed."

Blake nodded from where her head rested, the ears on the top of her head flicking gently. "They do seem to be more accepting of us now, however," she mused thoughtfully. "You are a grown woman, and if not at Beacon you would be living on your own, would you not?"

The three of them were silent for a bit. Ruby was fascinated by the facial expressions, minute as they were, that flew across Pyrrha as she struggled with the concept.

"I believe I can agree with you there, kitty cat," she finally stated softly. "It's just difficult to get past. I've never considered doing any such thing in my home here."

"Do you want to?" Ruby asked softly.

Pyrrha grinned slightly. "You know I do."

"Well, then…" Ruby uncrossed her arms and brushed her fingers along the small expanse of skin exposed between Pyrrha's tee shirt and the hemline of her shorts. "We could… fool around a little bit. Warm you up to the idea, maybe take your mind off of things…"

Pyrrha blushed brightly as she squirmed from the contact. "That… does sound nice…"

The three of them jumped slightly at the sound of Pyrrha's father calling out from downstairs.

"Pyrrha! Your mother and I are going out to visit some friends in town! We'll be back late, don't bother waiting up!"

"Very well, thank you father!" Pyrrha shouted back. "Have fun!"

The three girls exchanged heated looks as they listened to the door close, the engine of the family car start up, and as it moved down the driveway. Ruby chewed on her bottom lip, eyeing the gleams in both of her girlfriend's eyes.

"Sooo…" the brunette prompted as the garage door descended.

Pyrrha giggled lightly. "Yes."

Clothes have never flown off of bodies faster.

A/N: I did mention that the sexual tension would be greatly eased. However, the three of them are all very much enjoying the physicality of their relationship, so that's always going to be a thing. And Ruby is, as has been noted previously, rather deviously frisky.

I'm always astounded by the response this little slice of relationship crack has received. Taking a look at the stats this morning, I about fell out of my chair. About 98k hits, almost 400 follows, and freaking 535 reviews, all in just a little over two months. Gods, you people are amazing.

So, rather than fill up space here answering every review, lemme just give out my sincere appreciation once more to all you lovely people. Your kind words and encouragement always make my day. I'm so very glad everyone liked my portrayal of Pyrrha's parents!
