character of your choice has a gay awakening because they sparred with their rival and it got awfully up close and personal
Yang looked up at Mercury and her heart skipped a beat when she realized how close he was. Everything had moved so quickly and she didnt realize she was pinned until after she realized she could feel his breath on her neck.
Mercury pulled away and smirked at her. “So that’s three for me and… two for you now? I think I wn.”
“Y-yeah, o-of course.” Yang slowly picked herself up and glanced at Mercury. Her heart thumped in her chest, though her mind told her something about this wasnt right. “Guess you win this time.”
“You did good blondie,” Mercury said as he tossed a water bottle to Yang. “Maybe we can try this again before the tournament.”
“If I didnt know any better, I’d think you were doing this to learn all of my secrets.”
“Maybe I am, maybe I’m not. But it doesnt matter anyway.”
Yang shook her head and took a breath to try to calm her nerves. “S-so, you uh… you doing anything this weekend?”
“Probably going to hit up the local bar with Emerald.” He paused to take a swig from his bottle and sighed. “Though, I wish she’d quit asking me to go. I know I want to start dating, but I’m not exactly desperate enough to start dating the guys who do that kind of thing.”
Yang felt her heart sink as she listened to those words. “O-oh, so, you’re into guys then?”
“Yeah, though I’m a bit picky. Most of the guys at the bar are kinda like Jaune. You know, limp noodles that dont have much backbone but like to try to play off that they’re tough.” A smile crossed Mercury’s lips as he spoke. “I want someone who’s not afraid to pin me to the ground and make me theirs.”
“Oh. Well, I hope you have better luck this weekend.”
Yang let out a quiet sigh as she watched Mercury walk off. Of course the guy she fell for wouldnt be interested in her. She paused when her eyes caught her reflection: hair pulled back in a messy ponytail and her chest flattened from the angle she saw herself in. A thought came to her mind as she looked a bit longer and a smile crossed her lips. She knew exactly what she needed to do.

“This is ridiculous,” Weiss said as she watched Yang fuss with a binder. “Dressing as a guy just for a date is taking things too far, dont you think? “
“Its not *just* for a date, Weiss. If things work out-”
“And what makes you think things will work out between you and Mercury just because you’re dressing like a guy?”
Yang sighed and looked at herself in the mirror. Even with the binder, she still looked extremely feminine. “Its… it’s not about that… not entirely…”
“We all know that everything I do is… preformative. The dresses, the long hair, joking around… all of it is my attempt to try to take my mind off of not feeling… right. And… well… maybe part of dressing like this is so I can date Mercury, but on the other hand, if this is me…”
“Then you’ll probably want to make sure you’re as much of the part as you can.” Weiss walked over to Yang and pulled her hair back into a more masculine fashion. “
“You’re going to help me?”
“Of course I am. If this is who you end up being, then that’s who you are. Besides, the last thing I want you to do is make a fool of yourself and make it seem like you’re trying to use him.”
Yang nodded and put on a nice dress shirt and slacks and looked at herself in the mirror. She frowned when she saw her hips still making her look feminie and her chest not as flat as she had hoped. “Well.. this is better than what it could be.”
Weiss pulled away from Yang and smiled at her handiwork. “You’ll be fine. All you have to do is be honest with yourself and who you are, alright?”
Yang took a breath and walked out of the dorm once she finished. All she had to do was find Mercury and talk to him, tell him how she… how he really felt. That this is who he wants to be-
Yang froze and turned to see Mercury behind him. He cleared his throat and tried to make his voice sound a bit deeper. “O-oh, Merc, I uh… I thought you were at your dorm.”
“I wanted to take a bit of a walk before heading out with Emerald.” Mercury smirked and walked around Yang. “So, what’s the occasion?”
“I-I uh… Its uh… complicated…”
“Complicated, huh? Well, if its that complicated, maybe I can help.”
Mercury smirked and tossed a pill bottle at Yang. “Take one of these and then we can head out for a bit of real fun. Assuming you can handle it.”
Yang nodded and opened the pill bottle to look at the pink and blue capsules inside. “This… isnt going to kill me, is it?”
“No, it wont. And I promise you wont regret it.”
Yang swallowed a pill and smiled at Mercury. “Then lead the way.”
