Chapter Text
"Yes Nora, we're 'together together' now."
And with that, he leaned towards her again for a kiss, to which Nora happily obliged by tackling him again and planting one full on his lips.
They broke apart after a while, beaming brightly at each other.
Nora was the first to break the silence. "Hey Renny?"
"Yes?"
"Do you know when Jaune and Pyrrha are coming back?"
"I don't know, why? Uh...Nora? What are you doing?"
The only reply Ren ever got from her was the lazy smirk slowly spreading across her face.
"...but thanks for helping me out with sword techniques today, Pyrrha. And thanks for the chocolate and the teddy bear too, that was pretty awesome."
Pyrrha smiled sadly. "You're certainly welcome Jaune. And happy Valentine's Day again."
"Thanks!" Jaune's smile faltered as he saw Pyrrha's slightly dejected experience. "Hey, you all right?"
Pyrrha looked up at him. "Oh me? I'm fine..." She looked back down at the floor.
"Well I'm glad you're OK."
The two walked on in silence until they finally reached the dorms.
"Hey I'm gonna drop my stuff off and get a bite to eat," said Jaune. "You wanna come with?"
"No thanks, I'm not too hungry."
"You sure? They got noodles today."
At the mention of noodles, Pyrrha perked up. "Maybe I will after all. Just let me drop off my stuff as well."
Jaune pulled his Scroll out of his pocket and tapped it against the reader on their door lock. There was no affirmative click, nor was there a buzzer signifying failure.
"Huh, my Scroll's not unlocking the door... Wanna try yours?"
Pyrrha tapped her scroll on the lock. This too failed to produce a result.
"That's odd, I think the lock is broken."
"Think Nora and Ren got locked out too?" Jaune looked at Pyrrha quizzically.
"I'm not sure. It doesn't seem like technology is our friend today. First the soda machines are out of order, our locks are out of order, and we haven't been able to get a hold of Nora or Ren for the last couple hours."
"Yeah... That's weird." Jaune sighed. "Let's just go get noodles, we'll deal with the dumb lock later."
The pair walked on, when Jaune stopped all of a sudden.
Hey Pyrrha... Can I ask you something?"
"Yes Jaune?"
"It's about Ren and Nora... Do you think they like each other? It's like they like each other but they're too afraid to tell each other, and it looks like they're trying to show each other but neither of them quite get the hint..." The blond knight trailed off, lost in thought.
Pyrrha took a moment to consider this as well. "Well, it does seem like they have a thing for each other. They've always been close, they've helped each other with more or less everything and all. I can see it happening, and I could see both of them failing to get the hint."
Jaune chuckled. "Man, that must be infuriating for them. Can you imagine? One of them likes the other and tries to tell them but they just don't quite get the hint. Oh boy, that's gotta be the worst..."
