Classes Before Fun

Team RWBY was leaving their dorm. The ladies left first, and Gray closed the door behind them. Other students were moving around at this time as well. Some were knocking on doors and leaning in doorways to talk with other teams.

Ruby knocked on JNPR’s door to see if they had left yet. It turned out that they hadn’t as the door opened to reveal Pyrrha in uniform.

“Oh, hello again.” Her signature polite and cheerful catch phrase greeted them.

“Hi Pyrrha! You guys ready to go?” Ruby matched her cheer.

“Just about. The girls just need a couple more minutes.” She informed them.

“Oh, okay.” Ruby responded. “Do you want us to wait, or go on ahead?”

“Oh, I’m sure they wouldn’t mind either way, but don’t let us keep you from breakfast.” The Mistral girl assured them.

“We can wait-” Ruby was about to say, smiling all cheerful.

“I’m pretty hungry.” Yang said.

“Yeah, same.” Blake followed up.

“I am also hungry.” Weiss added.

“O-Oh. Well, looks like there was a vote against waiting.” Ruby uttered with the wind pulled from her sails.

Pyrrha giggled and said, “That’s quite alright. We’ll see you down at the cafeteria.”

“’Kay. Don’t take too long.” Ruby told her as she turned away.

“We’ll save you a seat, Pyrr.” Yang waved as she left too.

Blake silently waved too on her way past.

Weiss nodded politely to the young champion and followed her team.

Gray stayed put and watched his team leave. That was a rather quick and abrupt meeting. He wondered if they really were that hungry. He shrugged and called out to his team.

“You guys go on ahead. I just want to say hi to Jeanne.”

The girls looked back and gave their assent, while Yang made kissy faces to tease him. They left and walked down the stairwell. Gray turned back to Pyrrha, who had watched the whole thing and waited to find out why Gray hadn’t followed his team.

“She’s mostly dressed. Did you want to come in?” The champion asked him.

“Yeah, thanks.” He nodded and she moved aside for him to enter.

Pyrrha closed the door behind him as he looked around the room. Nora was dressed and hopping about the room with her usual energy while Ren was still buttoning up her shirt. Gray caught a glimpse of black and pink just before she buttoned one more button. Jeanne was doing up her brown/bronze vest which seemed to act as a corset for the girl's uniform.

“Hi, Gray!” Nora called out with her abundance of cheer. “Here to say good morning to your girlfriend?”

Jeanne looked over at the mention of Gray and blushed when Nora asked her question.

“Nora, come on. Enough with the teasing.” She told the ginger with a sigh.

“Hehe nope!”

Jeanne glared at her to no effect.

Gray walked up to Jeanne. She turned to him and was about to say something before Gray pulled her into a kiss. Gray could hear Nora make excited noises at the sight, but he focused on giving his girlfriend a nice good morning kiss. Jeanne herself was only surprised for a moment before kissing back. She put her arms around his neck and Gray put his arms around her waist. They stayed like that for a moment, kissing and using tongue tentatively. At least, Jeanne was tentative. Gray was being patient and letting her go at her own pace for the moment.

The kiss ended and the two pulled back from each other. They looked into each other's eyes and smiled.

“Good morning.” Gray said.

“Good morning.” She replied.

She looked really cute as she looked deeply into Gray’s eyes, until they heard Nora whistling. Jeanne made a face and leaned over to address her. Gray interrupted though, by pulling back and taking her hand. He pulled her along and towards the bathroom.

“G-Gray?” He heard her say. He looked at her over his shoulder and smiled.

“There’s something I want to talk with you about, and I don’t want interruptions from Nora.” He told her.

“I wouldn’t interrupt! I’d just watch.” The ginger girl piped in. “And now they’re going into the bathroom together. How bold!”

“Nora,” Pyrrha called out to the girl with a chiding tone. “Leave them be.”

“Aww...” They heard Nora moan as they closed the door to the bathroom behind them.

The two lovers looked at each other with amusement. That girl could get a little on Gray’s nerves with the teasing, but she was still cute and fun at the end of the day.

“So, what did you want to talk-”

Gray pushed her against the door and pressed his body against hers. He silenced her with his lips again. He took control this time and used every technique he learned in his few make-outs with Yang. Jeanne made a noise of surprise, but she didn’t stop him. He made out with her and felt her moaning into his mouth for a full minute before he pulled his lips back.

Jeanne was breathing hard with dreamy eyes as she tried to catch up with what was happening.

“I just wanted to let you know that I asked Yang to be my girlfriend too.” Gray told her, ready to activate his Semblance at a moment's notice. Just in case his earlier commands somehow didn’t work to halt any jealousies.

“...oh, okay.” She said after catching her breath a little. Gray looked into her eyes, cloudy with arousal as they were, and found no shock or heartbreak.

“Are you okay with that? With me dating other girls?” He probed further.

“Hm? Yeah, I don’t see a problem with it. Why?” She still looked a little out of it after the kissing but had a moment to clear her head. She held her arms around his waist and looked interested in kissing some more.

“I just wanted to make sure we were on the same page. Didn’t want to make things awkward if you weren’t okay with it.” That was all bullshit of course. Gray knew what he was doing and how dubious it was to any sane person.

“No, it's fine. I like Yang. She’s fun and pretty.” Jeanne told him. She seemed completely unconcerned with the situation, so Gray left it there.

He kissed her again for a small while. They enjoyed each other’s taste and Gray even ran his hands down to her butt, getting a soft giggle from her. Maybe she was ticklish, or maybe it was a little sudden for her, but she didn’t tell him to stop.

Gray pulled back again since they were taking a while when they needed to go down for breakfast. He kept his nose touching hers lightly as he got an interesting idea.

“Hey, do you want to get back at Nora?” He asked her with a mischievous grin.

She raised an eyebrow at that. Then her eyes narrowed in interest. The corners of her mouthed quirked up at the suggestion.

“Oh, what did you have in mind?” It seemed like she was in on getting the ginger back.

He explained the details to her and noted how she didn’t mind what was about to happen. Gray was grateful for this power more and more. After agreeing the two of them pulled apart and opened the door.

In the dorm room the other three were ready to leave but were sitting on their beds waiting for Gray and Jeanne to be done. Predictably, Nora was the first to jump up and tease them about what they possibly got up to.

“Ooh, I wonder what the two of you did. Did they kiss? Maybe het a little handsy? They were only in there for a few minutes so it couldn’t have been THAT, unless...”

Gray was pretty sure she was about to make a joke about lasting a couple minutes having sex. He didn’t particularly like those types of jokes, so he went ahead with the plan and approached her casually, but quickly.

“...maybe a few minutes were all you need-” She was cut off when she noticed Gray reaching out and grabbing her waist with one hand and her neck with his other. He then shot forward and captured her lips with his. She froze in place as he pressed against her and gave her a loving kiss that lasted for only about five seconds. From her perspective it might have felt longer, because she was still frozen in place when he pulled away with a smirk.

Gray let her go and turned to the door. He waved back at Jeanne with a wink, and she waved back and grinned. Now, she had a way to tease the ginger.

“See you guys at breakfast.” He told the room on his way out. He noticed Pyrrha with her eyebrows raised and Ren looking between him and Jeanne. He didn’t wait to find out how they would react in full. He opened the door and walked away.

Breakfast was a funny affair. Team RWBY was talking about the day they would have and looked a little worried that Nora was being oddly bashful. Team JNPR looked amused with their little smirks directed at Nora. Nora herself looked like she wanted to say something but every time she looked at Gray she would blush and look back down at her half-eaten food.

Gray just gave her his best smile any time she looked over. It was quite amusing to him that this loud and rambunctious girl was now acting all shy. He also made a mental note to kiss her again in much the same way the next time he visited Jeanne’s room.

During Dust studies Gray sat between Yang and Jeanne. He quietly suggested it to his two girlfriends just outside the classroom. They readily agreed and sat very close to him. Shoulder to shoulder and thigh to thigh. Throughout the lesson as Professor Blewett lectured them about the different elemental properties of Dust and their various forms, the three lovers played a small game of footsies. Gray also carefully felt their thighs up when he thought the Professor wasn’t looking. His hands squeezed their glorious thighs and even teased going under their skirts. In turn the two girls would do the same to him and even get dangerously close to his groin.

However, for the most part they did take part in the lesson. They wrote things down on their holographic screens. By connecting their scrolls to the desk in front of them they were able to use a holographic screen and keyboard. Any notes taken would be backed up on their scroll for later studies in the library or back at their dorms.

Professor Blewett didn’t perform any spectacular show this time. It was all business today. Which was the same for Metalworking for the next period. Gray took the opportunity to stick close to Ruby again. He didn’t cling to her side like the last time, but he did work close to her so he could see her abilities up close.

Professor Argyris was explaining how he wanted to see how everyone dealt with small pieces like screws, bolts and panels before moving on to the larger things. It wasn’t that he doubted anyone's ability, it was more because this was HIS workshop and HIS forge. He needed to see that everyone could handle his equipment with his own eyes. Which Gray understood perfectly. He wouldn’t want some random person using something of his without showing that they could. Gray wondered if Ruby was willing to be patient enough to work on smaller pieces, but he needn’t have worried. When he looked over at her face when the Professor declared this, he saw a resolute determination, instead of impatience and petulance.

Ruby really took metalwork seriously.

They got started on making a screw identical to a screw the students would find in their own weapons. They removed one and studied the shape and weight and material used for the screw and got started on trying to replicate the processes. The idea was to make a screw that could be used to replace the original and have the weapon still work. They would do this for other various pieces in the next few days and weeks.

They might have done all this for a weapon that wasn’t theirs like a practice foldable sword, but Argyris felt that it was better to use their own weapons to foster a “closer relationship” with their own equipment. They spent that class drawing up plans and identifying various metals and alloys found in their equipment. And considering Ruby had made her scythe herself, with some input from past teachers, she had finished writing up a detailed plan long before anyone else. She even made sure to draw up some preliminary plans for a couple other pieces found in her scythe.

When Argyris came over to observe or to offer help he was quite impressed with her, to say the least. He even asked to take a closer look at her scythe, to which she obliged. The man let out a quiet whistle when he extended the weapon out to its fullest.

“Very inspired.” The man said as he looked closely at the workings of the weapon. “I can’t think of very many who use a scythe. Only two come to mind.”

“My uncle taught me how to use a scythe.” Ruby told the professor.

“Oh? What’s his name?”

“Qrow.”

Gray saw a light of recognition in his eyes and wondered if he knew this uncle. A moment passed and the professor collapsed the scythe and gave it back to her.

“I think you’ll do well in my class. Keep up the good work.” He said to Ruby.

“Yes, Sir!” She said, beaming with pride.

The lesson carried on and Gray finished up a plan for a screw that was in his staff, Obscurity. It was a simple screw. It was made of a tough metal but didn’t really affect much because there were a few of the same screw that kept his weapon closed tight. It would be later projects that would involve the panels for the collapsible side of things. He may even make a new blade for one of the daggers at some point.

For the first break, teams RWBY and JNPR spent time in the cafeteria. They talked about the first two lessons and about other things. Girls really did go on into random topics sometimes. Yang and Ruby bought a few snacks from the vending machines to share with everyone since the kitchens weren’t open yet.

At some point Gray’s old friends walked in and greeted him and his team as well as JNPR. They sat at a table next to theirs and Gray went over to chat with them. He remembered his command for them to not be interested in RWBY or JNPR in a romantic or sexual way, so he wasn’t bothered about them conversing together. For the last few minutes of break there was a casual banter going between all three teams. At this point Nora had mostly recovered from her embarrassment and was talking excitedly about P.E. Ruby and Jeanne shared a small look that basically said P.E wasn’t their favourite class.

Gray felt almost the same way and he was pretty sure Nero was in the same boat. He also understood that staying fit was a requirement of being a Huntsman. Gray also found out that Team TCNO was still getting up in the mornings for a jog before breakfast. Team RWBY was surprised by this and were even more surprised to find out that Pyrrha did the same.

The thought of doing that themselves made them a little ****. Even Yang had her reservations about getting up that early. Weiss’ face also said how much she disliked that idea.

The bell rang and everyone made their way to the gym.

This first day of gym class didn’t have a proper lesson. The reason being that no one had been issued their gym uniform yet. That’s what today was about. Getting the right fit.

They divided up with boys on one side of the big gym hall and girls on the other. A bunch of tables were set up with folded up track suits, both for summer and winter. There were white tops and red pants as well as red jackets and red shorts.

Professor Bruno was helping the students find the right sizes for them and issuing out multiple of each set. This was so that they had something to wear when their other set was in the wash. The students would use the changing rooms to test out sizes and once they found the right fit, they would wear that for the rest of the lesson.

“We won’t be using the equipment here today.” Professor Bruno told them once everyone had a couple sets of the uniform. He was a muscular man with tan skin. He looked like the stereotypical bodybuilder type. Definitely someone you would want to teach physical education. He wore a blue version of the tracksuit and had a whistle hanging around his neck. He kept his dark hair short and had a small tuft of hair on his chin. “We’ll just be going over some of the things we’ll be getting up to each day.”

He briefly talked about the different exercise machines he had available. The treadmills, the weight machines, the ellipticals, the punching bags, etc. There was even a room with a boxing ring for hand-to-hand combat.

“If you look at this map, you’ll see the layout of the gym and where each machine or equipment is located. There is even a map of the various running tracks we use that go out into the woods around campus. They should be free of Grimm but on occasion young ones do try to get close, so make sure you take your weapons with you if you decide to go for a run outside of class. On that note, if you want to use the gym after school, the gym will be open until nine in the evening everyday unless told otherwise. Either older students or I will be present to supervise, or to get in exercise for themselves. So, that means no silly antics please. We don’t want people getting hurt or getting others hurt. There are also cameras up there if you can see.”

He pointed up to the ceiling and everyone looked.

“We want a safe environment for everyone to improve themselves in peace. So, no bravado, no carelessness and absolutely, under no circumstances will there be any bullying in my gym. Or anywhere else for that matter. Is that understood?”

The class agreed.

“Alright. Now, let's start by taking a look at each machine. Many of you have probably seen and used these before, but I’ll go over their use for everyone who hasn’t...”

The rest of the class was as basic as that. Everyone listened and volunteers were called upon to help with demonstrations of proper use. Yang raised her hand for many of them, as did Pyrrha. The professor and many students were impressed by their strength. Tanner and Classius also tried to show their stuff and a friendly rivalry was spawned between the four of them. Gray tried to ignore the small possessive feelings that came up from that. He knew there was nothing to worry about, so those feelings didn’t become an issue.

He did notice that the guy he had met before, the one that tried to bully him about losing to Jeanne, also tried to show off. He didn’t get much of the limelight next to the other four though.

The class ended and everyone changed back into their normal uniforms. Gray didn’t bother going into the locker room to have fun with the girls. He was saving his energy for this outing with Professor Goodwitch. He didn’t know if he would try anything with her, but he just wanted to be prepared. He wanted to have ammo in the gun, so to speak.

There was still the apprehension he felt about doing anything with the adults, in case there was some sort of counter for his powers he wasn’t aware of. He would probably just use this outing to probe and ask questions. Unless he learned something that let him relax and use his powers on her with impunity, then he would be cautious.

Gray got changed into his uniform and left the locker room with Team TCNO. He waved them off and waited for his team. They came out after a minute and met up with him.

“So, you’re off then?” Yang asked.

“Yeah. I’ll say bye to the others as well and then I’ll head over to Professor Goodwitch’s office.” He told them. “And don’t worry. I’ll get the best beds from wherever we go shopping for them.”

“Yeah, get something sturdy.” Yang told him with a wiggle of her eyebrows. “Something that can withstand unexpected explosions.”

The other three blushed at her meaning. Blake rolled her eyes, Weiss sighed and looked off into the distance while Ruby tried looking elsewhere but glanced at Gray’s crotch once. Gray smirked at Yang and found some encouragement in Ruby’s glance.

They waited some more seconds for Team JNPR to come out and they came over. They all said their goodbyes and Gray kissed Yang and Jeanne in front of the others. Team JNPR noticed this with Pyrrha, Nora and Ren looking on with some interest and glanced at their friend, Jeanne.

Gray turned and left them behind, looking back once to see Jeanne and Yang walking together and talking. They seemed to get along fine, so he focused on his little mission.

His mission was in two parts:

a) Get nice bunkbeds for his dorm. Something that would help facilitate his new sex-filled life and help make room for Weiss’ hills of luggage.

b) Find out what he could about Goodwitch and maybe even Ozpin. Find out if there was any counter for his powers and possibly take Goodwitch as his own.

Okay, maybe part B had three things involved but they were all connected to the same person, so no part C.

The office he was headed to wasn’t too far from the gym. The combat arena and the gym facilities were grouped together in one section of the school. Even the swimming pool was close to the gym. That gave Gray lots of nice thoughts. So, he made his way to the arena and prepared himself to knock on Goodwitch’s office door.

Funnily enough he had some butterflies in his stomach at the thought of getting close to the gorgeous older woman. He really did want to try and have her as his. He sighed and cleared his mind. He needed to focus until he learned more. Only when he knew for certain would he make a move.

He took a deep breath and knocked.
