Third Person POV

In Team GHZT's dorm room, Ajax is seen being cornered by his other three teammates. Ajax was not faced with this but still decided to give in.

"Tell us! Where were you last night? You just disappeared for most of the dance!" Zack said, pushing his index finger on Ajax's chest.

"I was outside, we all know that I don't do well in crowds," Ajax explained, only saying the half-truth.

"Yeah we get that, but you could have at least told us where you went," Hana said with her hands on her hips. 

"Why? I would have just ruined your night," Ajax retorted.

"Why do I have a feeling you're lying to us?" Titus said crossing his arms. 

"I'm not. I'm saying the truth, well, not entirely," Ajax muttered that last part.

"C'mon G, you can tell us anything. We are your teammates after all," Hana said in a serious tone. Ajax seemed reluctant for a moment, taking a pause and looking at the floor in thought.

"I may, or may have not, spent the night with Weiss," Ajax said moving his hands a lot. "And we may, or may not, have kissed..."

There was a moment of silence before Zack handed Titus 5 lien, all while still staring at Ajax, who just simply saw the money pass from one hand to the other confused.

"About time," Hana said with a smile on her face and crossed her arms.

"So are you guys something?" Titus asked curiously.

"I suppose we are... something. We are in the process of figuring that out," Ajax explained.

"Did you guys use a condom?" Zack asked jokingly, not expecting a serious answer.

"Yup," Ajax responded nonchalantly and they both stared at each other dead in the eyes. Silence fell in the dorm while everyone looked at Ajax. "Welp, we've got our mission, get your things packed and do whatever you have to do. I'll see you in here in 10 minutes."

With that, they all went to do their respective tasks. Titus went into the bathroom to take a quick shower, Hana was now organizing some papers she had, Zack was polishing his sword and Ajax had left the dorm and headed to the next one, which was RWBY's dorm he knocked and some seconds later, the dorm's door was opened by none other than Weiss.

"Hey there, Ice Queen," Ajax said with a warm smile.

"Jax!" Weiss excitedly said right before she jumped onto him and hugged him. Ajax was visibly startled by this action, after all, it was the first time he'd felt genuine affection. Ajax returned the gesture and some seconds later they separate. 

"Hey girls, hope I'm not interrupting something important," Ajax said entering the dorm while Weiss closed the door.

"Nah, you're fine. We were just about to open a package our dad sent us!" Yang said excitedly.

As soon as Yang said that, Ruby zoomed in and clung to Yang, waving her arms and trying to grab the said package from Yang's grasp. Soon enough, Yang shakes the cylindrical package once and something hairy and black falls out onto the floor and starts to shake. The object then transforms into a corgi. They all lean in, staring at it.

"Doggo..." Ajax mutters.

The animal barks twice. While Weiss and Blake continue to react with great shock, Ruby and Yang react excitedly, with Ruby jumping in the air. Ruby, still airborne, is depicted among a changing blue background and four shots of the dog, two full-body shots, and two headshots. She then poses as she shouts the dog's name.
