“It has indeed been quite a while. Good to see you again, Ichigo-san. I hope you had a productive day at school. My Paw Posse decided we should walk around on this side of Karakura Town today. Which means they get a break to play with your classmates and make new friends. The one puppy with the orange collar is Americano. The one with the green collar is Cappuccino. The one with the pink collar is Latte. While the one with the yellow collar is Mocha.”

Saber had been standing at the edge of the beach that lined the parking lot. The sun had started to set and the sky was growing darker as it faded into the distance. Her bangs danced in the breeze half framing her face as she turned back towards him. "Shouldn't I be the one saying that to you? A king should protect those he cares about should he not?" Saber was smiling at the thought but was actually glad that he cared enough to say something out of concern as well.

As usual, Shoma was the first at the icerink and as soon as he set foot on the ice, he started to glide, enjoying the feel of cold air on his face. Usually, he would be alone for at least two hours until the first people would show up, but after a few minutes of warming up, he suddenly heard another pair of blades on the ice. He turned backwards and suddenly saw a young dark-haired man. He was a figureskater as well, his whole body screamed it. 

Shoma tends to not approach people, but since they were alone it might be less embarrassing to at least welcome him. Thus he skated towards him and skated next to him.

Send “ah, fuck it” to shove my muse up against a wall for a surprise kiss 👀 || Accepting

@magicofmuses​ (Clover) sent: “Ah, fuck it.”

Okay first off, Clover swearing? That was a new one...

Second, Mr. Alpha Ace Op was just full of surprises wasn’t he?

They’d been dancing back and forth for weeks really. One quip here and a shot of quick whit there... the banter flying every chance they got. Honestly, Qrow hadn’t been able to remember a time since his days at Beacon that he’d actually enjoyed having a partner around... and one that could easily take his shit semblance in stride the way Clover did. Hell... it hadn’t been since Summer really. 

The last thing he expected was this though... pressed against the wall of this alley, another patrol over, waiting for the transport to come take them back up to Atlas... and Clover’s lips against his. 

At first Qrow had wanted to break out of the other’s hold, push him off. What was he thinking? This was insane... but he hadn’t been able to bring himself to actually do it. Somewhere deep inside Qrow actually wanted this and that scared him more than any Grimm ever had. People close to him always spelled disaster and he’d done well for the majority of his life to keep people at arm’s length no matter how he personally felt. 

Clover... Clover was different. He hadn’t let Qrow do that, rebuffing every attempt he’d made to push him away. It had started on their missions, then had slipped into their down time conversations... Clover hadn’t let him be his usual self. He’d been pushing him to be better if he liked it or not. He’d kicked Qrow’s ass in every way he could, shy of actually having to physically do it. He highly doubted that Clover would think twice about doing that too if he felt the need for it. 

Finally, the only thing he could do was relent, knowing that there was something in him that wanted this to happen. The initial force of the kiss lightened off when Qrow gave in, closed his eyes, and allowed himself to return it. His body relaxed and before he knew it, his arms were around Clover’s waist drawing him in and holding him as if he was afraid he was going to vanish if he didn’t. The sounds of Mantle around them became a dull hum and his pulse pounded in his ears. When had this feeling, this desire, crept into him? Qrow couldn’t answer that and he wasn’t sure he wanted to for fear of cursing it like so many other things in his life. 

What had he done to deserve those soft lips against his? What made Clover even want what this kiss could possibly mean with him? The questions swirled in his mind even as he melted into those lips against his, letting Clover sweep his breath away. 

@magicofmuses​ RUBY (X)

Putting her hands together Ruby paused at first watching him carefully. After everything that had happened since Ozpin had locked himself away in the farthest reaches Oscar’s mind, the want to keep no more secrets between all of them she wondered why exactly Qrow had called her into the room alone.

“Sure.” Silver eyes glanced towards the spot he had tapped a couple of times in order of allowing her to join him. But as she moved across the room and he began to speak. Ruby could tell that there was something on his mind, something that had him looking like a nervous wreck than she thought she’d ever seen in him. Leaning forward slightly Ruby placed a hand over his and offered a small smile. “It’s okay Uncle Qrow.”

Relaxing just a bit, he finally offered her a small smile in return as she rested her hand over his. I’m hoping you still think so after I tell you this, he thought to himself. Taking a deep breath, Qrow steadied his heart rate as best as he could. “With everything, there’s something you should know. I’ve... well Tai and I both really, have been keepin’ a secret. We agreed that it was best not to tell ya but that was before... well, before all of this...”

He was stalling but not entirely on purpose. The right words just didn’t seem to want to put themselves together right in his head. Now really was a bad time to have made the choice to try and give up the booze, he could use a bit to at least calm his nerves. No, no he could do this and he didn’t need that. All he needed was to keep reminding himself he was better off.

Shifting a bit, he made himself catch Ruby’s eyes. It was always rough on him to look at them... the same eyes that Summer had. The momentary realization had a spike of ache go through his chest. He really missed her at times like this. She would have had a better time dealing with this. For all the ache though, seeing her in Ruby’s eyes actually calmed him down a bit like her’s always had too.

@magicofmuses (Fem Qrow) sent to Summer:  “What am I supposed to do when I can’t even trust my own mind?”

Summer’s face darkened ever so slightly with the frown that pursed his lips. Sometimes he honestly wondered if Qrow was just being a drama queen. Okay, so he did get it, he really did, especially when they were out in the field and random, stupid things started happening for no clear reason... but still.

“Qrow,” he sighed, reaching up and putting his hand on her shoulder. “Listen to me, you’re better than what the stupid voices in your head keep trying to tell you, I know it. I see it when I look into your eyes. You just... you can’t let the demons win. I know you think you’re cursed, but... but you’re not okay? We can get through it, I know it. And if the voices get too loud, tell me and I’ll shut them up for you.”
