Yang gets a workout partner

Since Yang was already in her workout clothes, she didn't need to waste any time in the locker room. All she had to do was put in her headphones, pick a song to get her pumped up, and get to work.

Even with less people around, there were still some that she could show off for. Yang made sure to take her time as she stood in front of the free weights, sticking her ass out far behind her as she picked one up and tested how it felt. Shaking her head, she set it back down and selected a heavier one, repeating this process until she had one that she liked.

In truth, Yang already knew this was the one she would ultimately go for. She just liked drawing attention to herself. And, clearly, it worked as intended. Looking in the mirror that ran the entire wall she was facing, Yang could see at least three men quickly look away when her eyes came up from the weights before her. That little thing brought a smirk to the blonde's lips as she stepped back and got to work.

Out of the corners of her eyes, Yang saw the men in the gym sneak glances at her every now and then. Between all of that, her music playing in her ears, and the workout itself, Yang didn't notice a familiar face walking up behind her until she felt a tap on her shoulder.

"Jesus!" she yelled, nearly dropping her weights on the floor as she was snapped back to reality. Turning around, Yang saw none other than Jaune Arc standing behind her, wearing simple workout shorts and a loose t-shirt. Once Yang had calmed down, she turned off her music and pulled out her earbuds.

"What're you doing here, Vomit Boy?" Yang asked, somewhat teasingly. Despite having such ready access to these facilities, Jaune rarely used them. As far as Yang knew, Jaune spent most of his time in the JNPR dorm, reading comic books.

"Ah...I'm actually here to see you, Yang," Jaune admits, wringing his hands nervously. "You see...I'm not the best fighter."

Yang covered her mouth and snorted in laughter, and then immediately felt guilty about it when she saw the look on Jaune's face.

"I'm sorry," she said. "It's just...that's not a huge secret, or anything."

Jaune looked like he was about to lash out at her in anger, but then he sighed and slumped his shoulders in defeat.

"Yeah, I guess you're right," he nodded. "Anyway, I've been getting some help from Pyrrha, and she's been great! But...I don't think it's fair to rely on one person for my training. For her, or for me. So...I was hoping, maybe, you could help me...bulk up a little bit?"

Yang was a little caught off guard by the request. She'd never really had anyone ask her for help with anything. She wasn't a slacker by any means, but there was usually someone better to ask.

In addition, Yang couldn't help but think about what kind of compliment this was about her workout routine, for someone to actively seek her out for help. Granted, it wasn't quite the same as ogling her from afar, but she appreciated the ego boost all the same.

"Uh...yeah, sure," Yang nodded. "But you should know, I'm not gonna go easy on you. You're training to be a huntsman, so you should be able to take a bit of a beating."

Jaune hesitated for a moment before nodding.

"I understand," he said.

"Alright," Yang said, turning and walking back to the free weights. As she did, she could feel Jaune's eyes locked onto her firm ass. "Let's get to work."
