Satisfaction
Winter Schnee hated Qrow, well not specifically… She mainly hated losing to Qrow. She was known to be very competitive deep down. So the fact that, that drunken idiot is always somehow able to push her buttons that made her act in a manor that was not proper, angered her deeply. And It always had to be in front of General Ironwood…
Spitting the toothpaste into the sink, she wiped her mouth with her hand as she gargled water and spat it back into the sink again. Cleaning her mouth from the minty foamness, she grumbled at the sore sight in front of her. Hair sticking in every direction, she could of sworn that she got some toothpaste in her hair.
Just thinking about him made her act improper.
Pulling her hair into a tight bun, she clenched her teeth from the pain of her scalp. Winter was probably used to having her hair out. Sighing, she let her hand fall and continued to stare at herself in her bathroom mirror.
She was invited to come along with General Ironwood to visit Beacon Academy for reasons that passed her mind like an airship passing citizens from above. He was the only thing on his mind… And she hated that.
Everytime their eyes met, when his lips tilted into a smirk that caused her heart to pound in ways she could never imagine, she already knew that she would eventually lose her walls. Her eyebrows twist as she purses her tinted lips in annoyance. How is it that, that idiot could break her so easily? It wasn't like her at all to snap all of a sudden and jump to conclusions unless she had all the facts straight…
A growl escaped her raspy throat as she grabbed the edge of her sink and dunked her face into the cold, icy water. A quick shriek bellowed out of her as Winter quickly retreated out of the sink.
The cold drops of water slowly slid down her face to her cheeks and then to her chin. She almost dipped her head back in with frustration when suddenly.
A light bulb hit her…

Qrow took a swig of his drink from his flask.
He overheard Ozpin discussing matters with Glynda, and somewhere along the lines, Winter's name was mentioned and Qrow couldn't help but give a sly smirk, although returned to a frown when he remembered that she would be accompanied with that stick of a man Ironwood.
A thought past trough his mind that caused him to stick out his tongue in disgust. Shaking his head, he decided to barge inside suddenly.
Qrow gave out a loud greeting as both Glynda and Ozpin jumped out of their seats, a squeal coming froom Ozpin that Branwen would remember forever, "What's the special occasion Oz?~" The drunk smiled as he wiggled his eyebrows, placing his flask back into his shirt.
"Qrow! For the love of- Must you enter like that?" Oz begged, his heavy breathing suggested that he did get one of a big fright.
Qrow shrugged, grabbing one of the chairs and collapsed onto it, "I love making dramatic entrances" He slurred, Oz's nose scrunching at the smell of whiskey.
"Does that include causing tons of damages to the school property?" Glynda glared, calming down her shaking heart from the fright before.
"Can we please cut the bullcrap about the damages? We know you can just telekinesis it back to shape" Qrow barked, stepping up from his chair, followed by Glynda.
"You know that's not how it works! It take energy to put damage back to the way it was!"
"Oh pish posh, I didn't even cause that much, blame the ice queen for knocking me into one of those large poles" He retorted.
"You angered her into doing that!"
"She started it!"
"Enough!" Ozpin snapped, rubbing at his eyelids with all the commotion they were pulling, "It's an early morning, the coffee machine is broken, I'm certain we all haven't had that much rest so lets just cut this banter and return to the meeting please" He finished, eyeing both of the two to sit back into their chairs.
The two slowly sat back into their chairs, a smirk forming onto Qrow's lips and the same for Glynda when one of the chair legs broke on his chair, causing his back to plummet into the ground.
A muttered growl came out of his raspy throat as Ozpin couldn't help but give a silent laugh.
A quiet click came from the doors of Ozpin's office, the door slowly opened and there stood Winter, along with General Ironwood, both in the usual uniforms. Ironwood had a light stubble on his jaw, probably due to stress whilst Winter, though in her normal uniform, instead decided for a high pony tail, her bang covering her right eye which gave off a mysterious vibe. And even though she had changed her hairstyle, that wasn't the thing that was most different. She was smiling…
Getting up slowly from the ground, Qrow sauntered towards the newly arrivals and gave a mocking bow, hand on chest and his other high above his back , "Jimmy, Ice Queen… You're looking awfully lovely today" Qrow winked, earning a eye roll from James and a wider smile from Winter.
Winter was the first to take a step forward.
She held his hand and shook it happily, her eyes closing as she said a sentence that struck Qrow and even the others themselves.
"Thank you so much Branwen, you are looking awfully quite handsome today as well".
Ozpin's jaw dropped. Glynda's eyebrows twisted in confused whilst Ironwood coughed uncontrollably.
This… Isn't right…
A low blush formed on his cheeks as Qrow stuttered and struggled to find a comeback.
He was not satisfied.
Winter Schnee hated losing to Qrow. She hated how her his inappropriate manner would distract her from the more serious manners at hand. How he was able to push her buttons so easily that it made her act in a manor that was not proper. She hated how her walls broke down everytime he smiled at her.
This time she won't give him that satisfaction.
