[And thought she was being super subtle about it. In a room with three teammates of varying degrees of nosiness.]
You know the kind: Mysterious girl meets even more mysterious boy. They fall in love and have an unforgettable first night of passion filled with fancy descriptive words and weird flower imagery?
[Again, she's totally never read these books. Ever.]
[ Pyrrha isn't quite into reading novels, even young adult or romance. Comic books are cool, sometimes! ]
I guess I can understand the appeal? But, Jaune isn't very mysterious. [ As for passion, she's seen firsthand what an abundance of it can do, especially when the city's emotional output is out of whack. ]
I mean, they're not bad. [Well, the writing is, but...] They're just...corny.
[And she may be ragging on them more than she normally would because Blake liked them. ...Moving on.]
Look, if he doesn't, do you...want me to talk with him? I can definitely tell him what not to do, at least.
[She may have been joking before but she's 100% serious here. If she alone, of their friends here, has to have a "How do I do the sex?" talk with Jaune she will bear that burden. If only because she's worried Pyrrha'll be too nice to tell him he's terrible at it or something.]
[ Pyrrha does kind of want this talk to happen, because she's nervous and virginal and Yang is sexy and experienced, and that's an important distinction!
On the other hand, she certainly doesn't want to embarrass Jaune. ]
[Sexy, sure. Experienced. ...Somewhat. It's more that Yang decided long ago that if she was going to do this with somebody, that she'd make very sure she got what she wanted out of it too.]
I guess I'd just use a variation of my old 3-step boyfriend initiation program?
[She lifts a finger up for each step as she lists them off.]
"Don't Just Stick It In There: and other ways to avoid me punching you in the face," [One.] "How Not To Totally Suck at Foreplay, pun intended" [Two.] And "Yes, Girls Orgasm Too. No, it's not as hard as you think."
[...Three.]
I can make the first one a little less specific. You probably wouldn't deck a guy for pulling your hair in the heat of the moment...
[ It's diplomatically said. Honestly, Pyrrha might pinch Jaune if he did that, although the times he's had his hands in her hair in the past have been really, really ni— nikos, focus.
...
Wait were they talking about?
Oh, right. ]
Actually, if you have any advice for - well - foreplay...
[Yang hesitates on giving an outright "Yes". She's pretty sure Jaune's not exactly a reluctant party in this after all.]
I mean, ideally, it'd be...nice? If Jaune handled that. I just kinda gave up on trusting guys to be, you know, prepared...
[There are so many dumbasses out there. So many...
...Not that Jaune's at all like that, but anywho.]
So, just...have 'em so you're prepared. Keep yourself safe.
[That's probably an ironic statement given Pyrrha's whole...everything, but nobody needs to find out if you can posthumously have a baby here or something.]
[Yang'll stifle a small giggle as she shakes her head in response. Maybe that's enough awkward talk for now. Foreplay tips can wait for some other time.
Instead she'll smile warmly and reach out to put a hand on Pyrrha's shoulder.]
I'm really happy for you. Both of you.
[Seeing her friends being happy makes her really happy?? And god do Jaune and Pyrrha deserve to be happy.]
You ever wanna talk about this again, let me know, okay? I don't mind.
[ Unsurprisingly, Yang's kind gesture does help ease some of Pyrrha's awkwardness. One thing she mentioned earlier was very true; had her mother been accessible, this isn't a series of questions Yang would have to field. The fact is, no matter how unideal it is, asking outright is better than fumbling, and safety is important.
So, she smiles, shedding her embarrassment. There's nothing to be ashamed of, not in this. ]
... Thank you. Really.
[ Pyrrha reaches over, resting her hand on Yang's. ]
[There's a small nod in accompaniment and then Yang has to pause because that last sentiment touches her perhaps a bit more than Pyrrha may have meant it to. Yang tries really hard not to think about it too often, but sometimes Pyrrha just...does things that remind her why losing a friend this warm and caring back home hit her so hard.
In the hopes of keeping herself from getting teary-eyed, she'll gently squeeze Pyrrha's shoulder in response as she croaks out a reply.]
Me too. [And then, with a 10 watt grin because she's gotta change the subject or she'll cry.] Go get 'im, Nikos.
