The walk to the Rose-Xiao long home had been something Yang didn't know she needed after all the studying.

Ruby was chatting away with Blake about their trip and Weiss seemed to be in deep thought, something Yang noticed always seemed to cause her temple to crease.

"What's got you all worried?" Yang asked, snapping Weiss back to reality.

"Nothing's worrying me." Weiss promptly replied, though Yang saw right through the lie and gave Weiss a look that told the heiress that her girlfriend knew better.

The pair kept up eye contact like this until Weiss nearly walked into a tree. This seemed to break through the ice queens resolve.

"Is your… uncle going to be there all break?" Weiss sighed, feeling awkward for worrying about something so trivial.

"I mean he does live here, Why?" Yang replied, not seeming to fully grasp Weiss' discomfort.

"It's not that I have an issue with him other than he's always drunk, but he really doesn't seem to like me. I know it shouldn't bother me but.."

"You were raised in a family where people's opinion of you matter more than anything else?" Yang said, finishing Weiss' statement and shocking the heiress.

"Exactly." Weiss replied, still kind of stunned by Yang's earlier comment.

"I know Qrow isn't the easiest person to get along with, and I don't think he actually has an issue with you so much as your family." Yang started before Weiss cut in.

"I am not my family."

"I know that, Ruby knows that and Blake knows that but he doesn't. Get to know Qrow a bit and he will probably open up to you a bit." Yang finished, hoping that helped Weiss in some way.

Before the conversation could go any further, Ruby burst through the front door. "Dad, we're home!"

"Girls? Why didn't you call me?" Tai asked as he walked into the entryway. "I could have come and picked you all up?"

"After the exams we suffered, we needed the walk." Blake answered, leaning against Ruby.

"How did you all go? I remember how hard those tests could be." Tai asked, not noticing his daughters and their significant others were tired.

"Dad we just got home, can we unpack first?: Yang sighed, not waiting for an answer before leading the team upstairs.


That night was filled with more questions about school and more glares from Qrow, though Weiss did her best to ignore them.

It wasn't until everyone was else was asleep that Weiss finally confronted the aged huntsman.

"You have a problem with me." Weiss stated, not even bothering letting her lies.

"I have a problem with most Schnee's, what's your point?" Qrow challenged, barely paying attention to the heiress.

"Have I done something to earn this?" Weiss asked, becoming more irritated at Qrows lack of interest.

"Besides how you treated my niece when you she first became team leader and your patented Schnee 'I own everything attitude'?" Qrow deadpanned, drinking from his flask.

"I may not have been the kindest to Ruby when we first met, but I have worked hard to change my attitude and now I consider Ruby as one of my closest friends." Weiss replied, cringing at the memories of her harsh words towards the redhead after their first class. "How can I prove I am better than my family?"

"You can't, not entirely anyway. Your family's reputation will always follow you, trust me I learnt the hard way." Qrow sighed, cracking his neck. "What you can do to prove you're a good person who deserves to be with my niece, Is sit down and listen to what i'm about to say."

Deciding this was probably her best chance to settle things with Yang's uncle, Weiss followed the older huntsman's words and sat opposite him at the dining table.

"I don't normally sit down with Yang's partners, mostly because they know what she would do, but you're a special case. Know that if you ever hurt Yang, no amount of your father's money will be able to protect from me." Qrow stated, staring into Weiss' blue eyes.

To Weiss' credit she returned the stare with as much conviction as Qrow, though that didn't mean she wasn't terrified inside. "That will never be something either of us have to worry about.

"Good, it's good to see there's more than one decent Schnee." Qrow replied, leaning back on his chair and taking another swig from his flask.

"Who's the other?" Weiss asked, thinking that Qrow may have been referring to her grandfather.

"Your sister, Winter."

"Winter? But you two tried to kill each other at Beacon." Weiss nearly fell over at that statement. After all she had watched the pair go all out in Beacon's courtyard.

"As much as I annoy your sister, I hold a lot of respect for her. She broke away from your dictator of a father and made her own life. Believe it or not when I haven't driven her insane we actually get along pretty well." Qrow smirked, the hidden meaning lost on Weiss.

"I look up to Winter a lot for that too." saying so seemed to bring out a softer side of the Ice Queen.

"Good, her choices are a lot smarter than miniature father."

"My what?" Weiss asked, her voice rising ask she asked?

"Your brother, the one who wants to be just like dear old dad." Qrow sighed shaking his head. "I'm surprised he hasn't tried to walk the streets of Atlas with a Faunus on a leash just to show much much he's his father's son."

"Whitley is… very similar to my father." Weiss spoke, trying to find a nicer way to describe her brother.

"Kid, I've met the brat and he would do anything for your father's approval." Qrow sighed, leaning back in his chair again. The pair fell into silence after that.

"Yang probably knows you're not in her room."

"Most likely?" Weiss replied, not entirely sure what Qrow was hinting at.

"Go on up and see her, she will be worrying all night otherwise." that seemed to click for Weiss, as the white themed girl made her way upstairs. Only stopping when Qrow called her name. "Treat Yang properly and we will get along fine."

Weiss nodded at the man before continuing upstairs and into her partner's room, where Yang was awake and staring at the door.

"Hey Snowpea." Yang yawned, her arms outstretched for Weiss. "Everything ok?"

"Yeah, I think so." Weiss replied, not bothered to get changed into her sleepwear.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Yang asked, figuring it had to have had something to do with Qrow.

No, everything should be alright now. Besides, I'm quite comfy." Weiss replied as she snuggled closer to Yang as the brawler kissed the top of Weiss' head.

"I knew there was a reason you kept me around." Yang teased, hugging Weiss around the waist.

"That's not why, I keep you around because you're warm." Weiss teased back, causing Yang to groan into Weiss' hair.

"I am a terrible influence."

"I wouldn't say that, You've definitely had a positive on me. All of you have." Weiss' sombre tone caused Yang to hug tighter.

"You're an awesome person Weiss, no matter what anyone else thinks."

"Thank you Yang." Weiss smiled, snuggling as close to Yang as possible and slowly drifting off to sleep.


Breakfast the next morning seemed less tense between Qrow and Weiss. The glares had ceased and conversation seemed to flow easier.

"What time do you two need to be at the docks?" Tai asked once everyone had finished eating, grabbing Blake and Ruby's attention.

"Ten, so we still have an hour." Blake replied as Tai collected everyone's plates.

"It'll take about half an hour to get there so you two may as well grab your cases now." Tai called from the kitchen as the black and red pair walked upstairs.

When the pair came back down, Tai met them near the door and started running through a checklist.

Are you sure you have everything you need?" Taiyang asked as Ruby put her suitcase near the door.

"Yep I made sure to double check." Ruby replied, as Blake placed her suitcase at the door next to Ruby's.

"You've got your toothbrush?" Taiyang inquired, only Ruby to nod. "Pajamas?" another nod. "Your scroll?" a third nod. "Fresh underwear?"

"Dad it was one time!" Ruby whined, turning red as Blake gave her a look that said they would be talking about that story later.

"Hehe that was a fun holiday." Yang whispered to Weiss.

"Do I even want to know?" Weiss asked as Ruby and Tai continued to talk.

"Ill tell you once they're gone." Yang replied once she noticed Blake's eyes land on her.

"Dad I'll be fine. I'm training to be a huntress and I have Blake with me." Ruby replied to Tai as she smiled at Blake.

"Your right." Taiyang sighed before turning towards Blake. "I hope everything works out Blake."

"Me too." Blake smiled, knowing that no matter what happened with her family she would always have a family here.

"Alright then. Let's get you two to the dock then." Taiyang said, picking up Ruby's suitcase and carrying it to the car.


Guess who's back, back again.

*Sees torches and pitchforks on the horizon.

Oh Sugar Honey Ice Tea.

Ok so before the mob attacks me, I'd like to explain why this has taken so long. I took a bit of a break and decided to write out a guideline for what i plan to happen in this fic and then a lot of my technology decided to blow up including my phone that I write on. Thankfully I write all of these on google docs so they were saved but was still a pain.

Once I got my new phone I started writing out a few different stories that may or may not see the light of day. Who knows.

As always, if you enjoyed, hated, have constructive criticism or have a question, please let me know so I can make this story and any future stories I write better.

Thanks for reading and have an awesome day.
