Qrow x Winter

(Side note: I have many ideas of my own but if you have any I MAY just put them into this story MAYBE. You know ideas that are really good but just don't have a back bone to support them selves. Anyways enjoy)

Heavy breathing, Eyes darting, a knock on the door. Winter, who had been in a spacious one bedroom, one bathroom cabin was conducting Atlas and Schnee dust collection research when she heard a knock on her door. Blood raced. She was not expecting any visitors for the next month or so. "Damn it, must be white fang. How did they find me? I don't think I can get out of this one..." *knock knock knock* she was interrupted with another series of knocking. She felt her life force being drained away with each hit on the door. "Oh god why now, I should have say no to this assignment I knew that I was taking a huge risk being out here alone" Another set of knock this time even harder. "Aye ice queen open up will yah, I'm freezing my ass off out here." She dropped her sword in shock after hearing the gruff voice of the stranger. She sighed in relief "Looks like I'm not dieing today, but after talking with him I may need to kill myself."

"Just a moment Qrow" she yelled with a relieved yet anger filled tone. "Just a moment my ass, I've been out here 10 minutes now and im not getting any warmer either princess." Winter picked her sword up from the ground and sheathed it, Retied her bun, and put on her military jacket. She opened the door slightly but was then pushed back by Qrow rushing in. "Don't tell me you made me wait because you were getting all dressed u... " He was interrupted by Winter before he could get another word out. "I will have you know I had no notice that another agent was being sent out. I thought you were white fang coming for my head." Qrow walked over to a table filled with papers and picked a apple from a wooden fruit bowl. "Well before I was so rudely interrupted I was going to tell you that I was sent here by atlas military to give you some information." He tool a bite out of the apple "That information would be that you are stationed out here for another 6 months hot stuff." Winter was in shock she had already been out for 2 months why add that much time now. Qrow continued "Also I will be accompanying you on your collection research assignment for those 6 months." He took another bite.

Winter sat there mouth open in awe but soon brought herself together "This still doesn't answer why they didn't notify me of the schedule changes. Also when did you start working for atlas, I thought you hated us and everything we stand for." Qrow scoffed "First of all I don't work for atlas military, they hired me for this one job because I'm the only on qualified for it, trust me I not stoked about working under Ironwood's boot. As for the lack of notice it seems you forget that you're on top of a mountain covered in fucking snow it's quite difficult to get a signal up here even with the towers." Winter kept repeating the words "I'm the only one qualified" in her head. "What do you mean you're the only one qualified it's simple dust collection research, and why are we staying another 6 months?"

Qrow decided to choose his next words carefully, he put his apple down "Well I can answer one of those questions, the reason I'm the only one qualified is because Atlas militants have reason to believe that if white fang were to attack your little operation they would not hesitate to kill you and take all the information that you've gathered on drone dust collection, they needed a senior officer and I'm the only one that was willing to defend against the White Fang. Also they said you might get lonely up here all by yourself and might need a companionship and I knew I would be the only one to help with that if you catch my drift."

Winter disregarded his last comment "So you are telling me that you were sent here to protect me and this research because Atlas thinks I can't handle this on my own?" Qrow picked the apple back up and took another bite out of it "Good it looks like we are on the same page then, and as for the reason you are out here for another 6 months I don't have the slightest clue why." He soon plopped himself on a nearby couch and bit down on the rest of the apple. "Also this whole 'stoic soldier' act that you put up when around other people isn't going to do you any good here, you're spending every moment of the next 6 months with me and if you try to keep up the act you'll hurt yourself." Winter kept silent.

"You know I'm right. Don't think I didn't notice you tying up your hair and putting on you uniform coat so that you could still up hold this image that you have. If you are always on high alert you will burn yourself out. Just a friendly waning princess." Winter was still silent not even a giving a reaction to him words only proving more that Qrow was right about her."So now that we got that out of the way, this place seems very cramped, I must ask why would a Schnee even think about stepping in a place like this." Winter had never thought about that, but she then remembered growing up her bedroom was larger than this whole house, hell even her closet would be bigger than it. Now that she really thought about it she came to the realization that she would be shareing this cramped space with Qrow for the next 6 months. No privacy, no secrets, and even worse no running from him.

Winter was never raised to run away but when it came to people like Qrow that's all that she could do. He was strong, very strong and had the approach of never backing down. Yes he would die before he would walk away from a fight, but that's not to say that he couldn't put it on pause and start it back up later. That's just what he did with Winter. Pausing the augment, slowly wareing her down until he could get her to brake. When that would happen not even he could tell. She wasn't exactly the lose cannon type.

Qrow got up, through his apple core into the trash, and then strolled over to Winter's desk that was covered with papers and empty coffee mugs. "Tisk, tisk, tisk what would daddy say if he saw you living in such poor conditions like these, do I need to call him so he can get the manager to upgrade you to the penthouse or should get him to just buy you the whole damn hotel so you don't need to sleep in the same building as us commoners." Then Qrow did something that he didn't think possible. Winter turned turned her head towards him, Eyes filled with rage and whispers "My family has had no control over me or any of my decisions sense the day I left them, and they never will have the luxury again." Qrow knew that he hit a nerve when he heard the quiver in her voice and he was loving it. To see Winter Schnee, the calm and collected woman who had been rumored to beat men with her silence just crack the way that she did, he knew that he was in for one hell of a ride the for rest of the year.

"Ahhhhhh, so you're the rebellious type. Strick daddy, constant monitoring, Never a moment to yourself. You know..." Qrow walked over to Winter leaned down getting close to her ear and whispered "he would probably hate to find out that you are hanging out with a bad boy like me sweet cheeks."
