Oscar woke up the next morning in an unfamiliar place. The peeling white painted walls of his room in the orphanage were now replaced by a soft emerald green with black birds painted across that he could identify as crows. Even the bed was different, the sheets were green and black with pine trees and birds and were a lot more comfortable than his old bed. Even though he was wide awake despite it being early, Oscar felt like he could stay in this comfy bed forever.
However, the fresh aroma of pancakes that was slowly filling up the room convinced him otherwise. Getting up he found something on the ground beside his bed. It was a small bag that held his few possessions from the orphanage, he quickly got dressed in his usual attire and allowed his nose to guide him to the kitchen.
"Morning kiddo, how'd you sleep?" Asked Qrow once Oscar sat down, he was dressed for the day and nursing a mug of coffee in his hands. "I slept well, I like how my room looks and... the bed was really comfy" he replied, blushing in slight embarrassment at the second part making Qrow chuckle. "That's good to hear, Oz had to pop out for a bit for some meeting." Qrow than handed the teen a plate full of pancakes and a bottle of syrup, seeing Oscar's awe struck expression, he smiled resisting the urge to ruffle the teens hair. "Go nuts kid."
"Thank you, Qrow." Said Oscar as he began eating his pancakes. However he than tilted his head, a habit he had when he was confused about something. "Meeting?" Qrow nodded, "yeah, Oz is the headmaster of Beacon Academy." Qrow had said it in a nonchalant manner like it was no big deal but to Oscar it was, so much so he almost choked on his 5th pancake. "Really?! Wow, that's so cool. So he's a huntsman and im guessing you are two?" Qrow nodded again, the kid was observant. Well that and it wasn't hard to tell once you saw his weapon tucked away behind him. "Right, I also used to be the dean of Signal."
"I always wanted to be a huntsman" Said Oscar, his mood suddenly turning sad and he looked down. "My aunt didnt want me to be one though, made me work as a farm hand until..." He trailed off with tears in his eyes, a hand suddenly was placed on his shoulder and he looked behind to see the concerned face of his guardian. "You don't have to tell us about your past till your ready, ok? Also, you can be whatever you want to be. Huntsman, farmer, whatever you want."
Oscar started to feel better and his smile soon returned. "How do you and Ozpin do that? I barely know either of you but I feel safe and happy here...is that weird?" Qrow softened, this time he did ruffle Oscar's hair "nope, it just means your gonna have a good time here and we're all gonna have fun and cliché moments" he said with a grin.
At that moment Ozpin walked in, he looked tired but smiled when he saw Oscar and Qrow laughing and smiling. "Hi" Said Oscar with a shy smile while Qrow took in his husbands appearance and handed him a mug of coffee. "Thank you Qrow, and good morning Oscar. I hope you slept well." Oscar smiled nodding "Yup, Qrow made pancakes and was telling me about huntsman stuff."
Ozpin raised an eyebrow at Qrow who shrugged "it was his dream and he was curious because he didn't get to attend Signal like Ruby and Yang did and I am a former teacher so yeah." Ozpin nodded in understanding "good to see you spreading your knowledge." Qrow chuckled "Nah, think I'll leave that to you, professor."
"Who are Ruby and Yang?" Asked Oscar. Qrow smiled fondly "There my nieces, Infact we were gonna take you with us later to introduce you guys. Your the youngest and Yang is the oldest, there both crazy and full of energy but" He looked Oscar in the eye "they are also loving, caring and they wont let anyone hurt you." Oscar relaxed hearing that, he was quite introverted but thought it'd be nice to have some friends...family.
Soon the trio had arrived in Patch, Oscar looked around noting the forests and plants that made him relax, it was peaceful. He walked beside Ozpin who would tell him about different flowers that Oscar would point out. It didn't take them long to reach a cottage, Qrow stepped forward and knocked. Barking was herd and a man opened the door. He had blond hair with two small strands sticking out from the top and blue eyes as well as a small stubble along his jawline. On his right arm is a tattoo similar to a heart and he wears brown cargo shorts with a dark brown belt, black shoes, a red bandana on his left arm, and a brown leather vest over a tan dress shirt with the right sleeve cut off.
"Qrow, Ozpin. Its good to see you both again." He shook there hands in greeting and was about to turn to Oscar when a yell was herd "Uncle Qrow! Uncle Oz!" A black and red blur tackled the two in a hug while a blond haired girl shook her head, amused. "Don't kill our uncles, Rubes." Ruby eeped and released her hold on them "Sorry! I just got excited." She said blushing in embarrassment.
"Thats quite alright Ruby, however do be careful. I think you may have scared your new cousin." Said Ozpin, gesturing to Oscar who had hid behind him, shy and scared from the noise. "Its ok, we won't hurt you little fella. Ruby just gets excited sometimes." Said Yang "Yeah! Please come out" added Ruby.
Oscar poked his head out and observed them both. Ruby had fair-skin, silver eyes and black, neck-length, choppy hair that gradates to dark red at the tips. She wore a long sleeved thick black blouse with a high collar and red trim on the sleeves, a black waist cincher with red lacing up the front, and a black skirt with red trim. She also wears a pair of thick black stockings and black combat boots with red laces, red trim around the top and red soles.
Yang had fair skin, lilac eyes and bright golden hair worn loose that fades to pale gold at the tips with a cowlick sticking out at the top. She wore a tan jacket that bares her midriff, with golden brown piping and short, puffy sleeves with black cuffs that feature two gold buttons. Underneath this, she wears a low cut yellow crop top with her emblem on the left breast in black.She also wears a brown belt reaching from hip to hip around the back of her waist, with her emblem emblazoned on the right-most pleat in gold. Underneath this is a longer, white, asymmetrical piece of material reaching to her knee on the right side, as well as a pair of black mini-shorts. She wears a pair of brown, knee-high boots and orange over-the-knee socks, with the right sock pushed down just below the knee. A purplish-gray bandanna is tied around her left knee. An orange infinity scarf and black fingerless gloves complete her outfit.
"Oscar this is Ruby Rose her half sister, Yang Xiao Long and there father Taiyang Xiao Long. Guys, this is Oscar." Said Qrow, making the introductions. "Its nice to meet you Oscar!" Said Ruby, pulling him into a hug which Oscar suprisingly didn't mind. "Nice to meet you squirt, hope you dont mind but your stuck with us." Said Yang, like Ruby she felt an instant attachment to Oscar and in there eyes he was there new little baby sibling. "You know, Im actually not dreading that." He smiled but was than suddenly tacklef by a small puppy. "Ahem, Oscar meet Zwei, Zwei meet Oscar."
