Black and White Wings

AN: Monty forgive me and this grievous sin I am about to commit. I do it for the sake of the creative flow.
"The nerve of you Qrow I swear all that alcohol must have killed what few brain cells you had." Winter Schnee glared daggers at the man in front of her holding the credit card he had lifted off her person. "If you be got a death wish I will surely grant it."
Laughing to himself Crow looked at her his red flashing as they travelled up her figure admiring that even though it was her normal military uniform he could easily see the contours of her body. She didn't have the biggest curves he'd seen, but combined with her attitude of being so militaristic and stuck up it held an attraction to him making him want to see what was underneath all the ice.
"Hey you drunk are you even listening to me?" Winter snapped seconds away from losing her cool as the drunk Qrow stood there staring at her.
Finishing up blatantly undressing her with his eyes he looked back up meeting her glare with a smirk. "What's wrong ice queen you desperately need this little piece of plastic that bad?" Qrow began sliding the card into his pocket causing the enraged Winter to charge him her sword drawn.
A voice suddenly cried out halting Winter in her tracks. "Schnee! What are you doing?"
The two of the turned to see as General Ironwood strode in from the adjacent hallway looking at her with disappointment in his eyes as he entered, "I swear everyday it's something different with you picking a fight with Qrow about nonsense."
Qrow just stood there a smug grin on his face with Winter's blade at his throat. "You heard the General Schnee, put that toothpick down." Chuckling to himself at his joke.
Growling she lashed her hand out smacking him across the face. "At least I'm not compensating with that ridiculous garden tool you use."
"Dammit Schnee," Ironwood got ready to lay into her about proper military conduct when he was interrupted by Qrow laughing.
"Hahaha that was actually a pretty good one you got in there ice queen." Qrow licking the trickle of blood away from his lip before looking over her shoulder at the General. "Don't worry about it Jimmy I definitely deserved that one."
"That may be true but her conduct was…"
"Look I said it's fine!" Raising his voice Qrow fixed his red eyes on the ice blue ones of the woman inches away in front of him, hearing her breathing had become rapid from her anger as well as the various other emotions running through her.
Winter opened her mouth to tell Qrow where he could shove his gardening tool and his sticking up for her but she found she was unable to make a noise as he held her gaze.
"Don't worry General I'm sure at some point later we'll resolve this." His predatory gaze never leaving Winters face as he unconsciously licked his lips again, her fear of him just as enticing as the desire Qrow felt she was hiding.
"Very well then Winter I trust that you'll apologize to Qrow for slapping him." A sudden beeping from his scroll drew his attention away from the two causing him to miss the nearly silent interaction between the two.
"Give it back," Winter hissed quiet enough so Ironwood wouldn't hear reaching her hand trying to snag the card from his overcoat pocket.
Catching her hand and whispering equally quiet he replied, "if you want it you can come get it later." Fixing her eyes with a knowing stare that brought the blood rushing to her face.
"I…I…"
Grabbing her by the chin he stared deep into her eyes, the red almost having a hypnotic effect on the woman as she felt a flush of heat spread through her body the moment he laid his hand on her. His smell enveloping the air, a musky scent mixed with the whiskey he always drank caused her mind to go blank and heart to beat faster.
"Release me you beast," Winters voice was so quiet even as close as they were Qrow could barely hear it. Her face red from their heated exchange that usually occurred when they were around each other, although it seemed this time things had taken a quite different turn.
Taking his hand away Qrow had his trademark grin on his face as he taunted, "now be a good little princess and go do your job and if your looking for me later to get your little card back," he slipped a piece of paper into her breast pocket causing her to inhale quickly as if about to scream. "I'll be here," he said winking at her before walked by away vanishing around the corner.
Ironwood finally getting off his scroll looked up to find Qrow gone and Winter her face red with her hand resting on her left breast pocket looking almost longingly at the bend in the hallway.
"I hate that man," she thought to herself still feeling the heat from when he grabbed her unconsciously rubbing her thighs together. Turning around she found the General staring at her a puzzled expression on his face as he placed his scroll back in his pocket.
"Specialist Schnee are you alright?" His voice held no emotion but his eyes spoke volumes of how frustrated he was with her actions.
"I'm fine sir," she replied curtly. Internally flinching knowing that she may have used too harsh of a tone with her commanding officer. "I'm sorry I shouldn't have…"
Ironwood held up his hand making Winter stop in the middle of her apology as he sighed before looking her in the eyes. "I know Qrow can be unprofessional Winter but you mustn't let him get to you like that. He acts like a child at times but you don't need to stoop to his level." The condescending tone in his voice surprisingly frustrated her which normally never happened.
Keeping her emotions in check Winter gave him a sheepish look as she nervously tapping her foot on the ground, her face still slightly red from the whole ordeal. "I understand sir and I will do better to control myself."
Giving her a nod indicating that he was done Ironwood continued on his way heading in the direction of Ozpins office, no doubt called there by headmaster himself leaving a confused Winter standing alone in the hallway.
Sighing deeply knowing had to deal with Qrow as soon as possible, Winter pulled out her scroll and brought up the contacts list looking for her younger sister.
"Hello? Winter?" Weiss Schnee picked up after the second ring almost as if she had been waiting for the call from her sister which she had undoubtedly had been. The noise of her teammates in the background easily heard.
"Yes Weiss its me," Winter chuckled internally to herself at how excited her sister got when she called. "Look I know I promised I would spend some time with you but something has come up."
"What!?" She heard something get thrown in the background of the call and a crash of glass breaking. "But Winter you promised," her sister whined getting on her nerves that were still frayed from the General and Qrow.
"I know Weiss but it's due to circumstances outside of my control." Winter felt a little bad knowing they were in her control and that Weiss was upset just because she loved her and they didn't get to spend time together for very long.
"Well does that mean another time then?" Weiss suddenly grunted as a pillow flew and nailed her in the face and the call was muffled.
"Weiss are you alright?" Winter couldn't be sure but she thought she heard a muffled vibrating sound in the background as her sisters teammates began talking and giggling over someone's moans.
There was a shriek and a bunch more laughter before Weiss replied sounding a little winded. "Yeah I'm fine Winter and I understand that your busy but if you get the chance, please let's spend some time together before you go back to Atlas."
"Alright Weiss we will before I leave," Winter promised. All the while in her mind trying to figure out what was going on back in her sisters room as she ended the call.
Taking note of the time Winter set off heading out to the obvious five-star quality hotel that she was staying at, all the while trying to rid her mind of that last bit of interaction with Qrow.
"I don't know who he thinks he is treating me that way," she huffed to herself as the elevator rose up to the penthouse suite. "But it shouldn't matter to me what that ruffian says though," her body heating up at the thought of him turning her cheeks red.
Reaching her door Winter reached into her left Breast pocket to pull the keycard for the room when she froze. Feeling nothing but the piece of paper that Qrow slipped her, Winter gritted her teeth pulling it out she read his little note slowly feeling the rage build up in her chest.
It read, "I'll be here all night if you end up not able to sleep, you can stay here and get your little card too." An address was scribbled at the bottom leading to some hotel near the docks.
Winter clenched her fist crushing the paper before turning around throwing it down the hallway a scream of anger rising to her lips. "That bastard!" She roared scaring housekeeping who was coming out of one of the rooms.
"Miss Schnee are you all right?" The startled maid nervously asked seeing how red the normally reserved woman was.
Shaking her head Winter apologized to the woman for her outburst. "I'm sorry I just have to now go deal with a drunkard who also happens to be a pretty adept pickpocket." Walking past the maid stopping to pick up the paper before storming back over to the elevator.
After watching Winter leave the maid went back to her duties which conveniently was cleaning the penthouse suite next. Using her keycard she walked in wondering why they even attempt to clean after the woman seeing as how the room was spotless with even the bed made. "Well at least she is not rude," the maid chirped to herself grabbing the used towels from the bathroom before noticing the keycard on the vanity.
"Oh dear it seems Miss Schnee must've forgotten the card in her rush this morning." Going over to the the room phone she got ready to call the front desk to let them know that Winter Schnee left her card in her room but then decided against it.
As polite as she was she still wasn't a good tipper and that's how you get the best service.
Two hours later Winter arrived at the address to find a shabby little four-story motel with windows overlooking the sea. Walking in the man behind the counter stood up straight as if electrocuted to attention at the sight of her.
"Welcome Ma'am to the…"
"I'm already staying in a hotel," Winter cutting him off shooting him a glare. "I'm here looking for someone actually, now what room is Qrow Branwen in?" Cutting straight to the point.
The front clerks eyes narrowed, "I'm sorry ma'am but we cannot give out that personal information but if feel free to ask him yourself." Pointing toward the elevator that Qrow had just exited.
Qrow feeling their gaze turned to look meeting Winters eyes, his signature smirk on his face as he moved swiftly exiting the building all the while motioning her to follow.
"Get back here Qrow," Winter started after him her hand unconsciously starting her glyphs and grabbing for her sword before she remembered Ironwood's words asking her to maintain her composure. Stopping she took a deep breath to calm down before continuing after him.
Luckily Qrow's destination was right across from the hotel, a seedy bar ironically named the crowbar. She found him sitting alone a drink in his hand already handing her credit card to the bartender when she spoke.
"What the hell do you think your doing?" Struggling to keep an even tone in her voice as Qrow's eyes met her own a bemused expression on his face.
"Whatever do you mean I ordered two drinks," pointing to the second drink she completely missed despite it being a somewhat full glass of a dark orange liquid. "I figured you'd treat me to a drink as an apology, you know like your boss said you should do." Having the most innocent smile on his face while he said this, the reds of his eyes seeming brighter then usual as he stared at her almost hungrily
Winter held his stare glaring at him for a not even twenty seconds before she was unable to keep a straight face. Her resolve faltering under his dissecting gaze as she looked away to hide the embarrassment all over her face. Finally waving to the bartender who had been patiently waiting to scan her card.
"Well take a seat at least," Qrow gestured to the stool next to him sipping out of his own drink his eyes never leaving her face. The enjoyment of watching her squirm was divine, but he was more interested in what he thought he saw in her eyes earlier.
A base hunger that was needing to be satisfied.
Winter sat down thinking to herself, "why am I acting like this? This feeling I have," grabbing the drink in front of her, without thinking tried to downed the drink in one go attempting to ignore the burn of alcohol and cinnamon but ending up coughing harshly from it.
"Whoa take it easy there," Qrow began patting her back till the fit subsided a smirk sitting on his face as he looked at the ex-heiress who glared back at him with tears on the edges of her eyes from the burn.
"What, I didn't expect it to burn so much going down." Winter tentatively took another sip finding the burn this time pleasant and the cinnamon flavor delicious. "What is this?"She exclaimed taking another sip of the drink finding it had the slight taste of oranges as well.
"It's called a Benny," Qrow mumbled through his own drink finishing the dark spirit before motioning for another. He was unable to tear his eyes away from the beauty that sat besides him. Admiring the white and blue of her uniform contrasting nicely with the pale beauty of her skin that also brought out the color of her eyes. The eyes which he found coolly observing him as he finished checking her out.
When they were back at beacon earlier that day Winter had briefly felt as if she were being mentally undressed by the man next to her, but watching him stare her down as she drank confirmed it. She felt it again that flush of heat going through her body as his eyes roamed over every inch of her.
"Qrow my eyes are up here," drawing his eyes to her face which was slightly pink from her one drink but still serious enough to hold his gaze. It was honestly her first time drinking spirits this strong aside from the wine at dinner parties.
"Well as beautiful as your eyes are," Qrow leaned in close his breath hot on her neck. "I have other interests in mind for you right now." He made a slashing gesture to the bartender who immediately started making the two another set of drinks.
Rather then flinch away like she normally would when Qrow got close, Winter this time allowed it letting his hot breath wash over her neck as he whispered to her. Shivering with delight she had to stop herself from showing her enjoyment on the outside, the hot feeling all over her body causing her to squirm in her stool as Qrow stayed in such close proximity.
"Hmm it must be more deep rooted then I thought," Qrow pondered watching all of Winters reactions. The little things that escape most people notice like the subtle movement of her rubbing her legs together, or how her breathing had taken a slightly husky tone.
"You know I'm not normally like this Qrow." Winter pulled away slightly sipping on her second drink. "But you know now I can see why you drink all the time the feeling is quite pleasant and it seems to make one more honest you could say."
"Is that you being more honest or me," Qrow retorted leaning back against the counter pushing a hand up through his hair downing another drink in the process.
The bartender slid him another earning a nod from the man as he proceeded to pound the drink down.
"Maybe a little honesty from both of us wouldn't be to bad ," Winter muttered into her glass causing Qrow to choke a little in surprise.
Coughing a little bit Qrow gave the seemingly buzzed ex-heiress a grin before asking. "How honest do you want me to be Winter? Because if I am you better just as honest with yourself." He gave her a knowing look before turning to another drink.
"I'll match you or better yet I'll surpass your ridiculous notion of honesty." Taking a 180 from the way she was sounding earlier as a note of anger creeped into her voice putting another finished drink down. "You know what really pisses me off about you?"
"Oh boy this should be good," Qrow snickered as he rolled his eyes motioning for another round of drinks for the two of them. "What Winter? What could piss you so much about me?" Getting a glare from her as she grabbed her next drink.
"The better question is where to start jackass," gently smacking him in the chest her hand lingering for a moment feeling his hard muscles underneath his clothing. "So go ahead ask me," she whispered looking into his red eyes. Her hunger showing through the haze of alcohol as she felt him stroke her face with his hand, the roughness of it further fueling her desire.
Qrow's face turned serious as he reached out stroking her face. "Winter there's no turning back from this you know?"
Winter remained silent her eyes closed as Qrow's hand remained cupping her cheek.
"Winter I said…"
She suddenly leaned in and kissed him shutting him up in the process, the bartender at sometime conveniently returned her card before disappearing into the back and was nowhere to be seen as she disengaged from the kiss a blush on her face.
Qrow startled at her forwardness just let it happen dropping his hand from her face in the process when the kiss ended.
"Your room now," the desperate need in her voice was obvious as he nodded still trying to process the kiss.
"Alright then," Qrow shook his head once his eyes focusing on Winter as an evil grin crossed his face and his mind was clear. "You asked for this so there's no backing down now."
"Ha I should be the one telling you that," Winter stood up and walked to the door purposefully taunting him with the swaying of her hips before looking back at him a wicked smile dotting her face. "You know part of me wonders if you really are compensating for something."
"Well there's only one way to find out ice queen," Qrow rose up and approached her grabbing her by the waist roughly bringing her face close to his. "And trust me when I say you'll find out."
