The Anthologies of a Sun Dragon

Courage in the Night

Tai was used to a lot of things; his daughters trying in vain to be quiet in the mornings on the rare occasions they got up before him, his gardening not always being successful, Zwei barking in the middle of the night, and Qrow swinging by and as drunk as a sailor finally being back ashore on a Friday night.

Qrow Branwen – an unlucky woman who could outdrink anyone – was prone to swing by Tai's house whenever she was in Vale for one reason or another, but more commonly because she needed a place to sober up after her crazy nights.

Tai had gotten used to her during their time together as team STRQ, and gotten even more insight once he had married her sister, Raven. For one, Qrow, while usually able to handle her drink, was nonetheless easy to get drunk. Secondly, Qrow was flirty when drunk; the amount of times she had started hitting on the blond under the influence was staggering, especially considering Tai had either been married to Raven, or been in a relationship with Summer at the time, making things awkward. Though the occurrences had lessened after Summer's passing, there were still the infrequent, intoxicated beguilement, often via Scroll calls.

Zwei's barking had roused him, but Tai was determined to fall back asleep. Then there was the heavy slamming of a door, the rattling of keys and the sound of said keys dropping to the floor downstairs. The usual groaning carried out through the humble house and the heavy footsteps, grunting and cursing kept the blond from finding peace and quiet. Qrow would pass through his room as usual and tomorrow morning he would find her in the guestroom half-asleep, with vomit everywhere but the toilet, and complaining about something or other.

Marvellous.

And then the door-handle clicked, and the door opened with a long, soft creak.

He heard the drunken murmurs, the only warning he got before his old teammate slumped right into bed unceremoniously.

"Gh—! Damn it, Qrow!"

His former sister-in-law snickered. "Oh heeeey, Taaaii…what brings you to my bed in the middle of the night…? You, hic, sly fox…"

"Oh for the love of— you barged into my room! Go sleep in the guestroom!"

"Hey, I was being…being…quiet. Zwei can vouch for me…hic."

Tai grimaced. The smell of whiskey was incredibly strong, and the perfume she always wore was intermingling.

"Qrow, so help me, if you don't get up I will personally carry you—"

The rustling of clothes got his attention. The sound of a belt unbuckling alarmed him and with his eyes adjusted to the dark Tai could just barely make out that Qrow was taking off her pants.

"What are you doing?!"

"Getting ready for, hic, bed you idiot…"

"Then use the guestroom!"

"But I'm already here…" she whined and kicked off her pants before working on her shirt. "And, hic, I want to cuddle.

"Damn it, Qrow! I have work tomorrow, I don't need this! Get out of here!"

Tai got up, fed up with his sister-in-law's behaviour; he reached out and to his surprise found that the brunette had already shed her clothes completely if the bare skin of her shoulders were anything to go by.

It was at that moment that Qrow pushed up against him and pinned him back down. Tai had never been one for sleepwear except possibly a pair of gym shorts and a tank-top during winter, and so perky nipples pressed up against his bared frame as the brunette lay on top and straddled him. Her sex, as heated as a furnace, was right over his—

"Why didn't look at me like that?" Qrow's voice, though clearly intoxicated, was forlorn. Her hands settled over his cheeks, cupping them, and judging from Qrow's breath she was barely inches away from his face. "My sister made her move on you and you looked so happy…then comes Summer and you fawn over her immediately. Why not me? Am I no good?"

Tai's anger subsided with haste for but a moment. "Qrow…I…Look, I always assumed—"

"They don't call alcohol `Liquid Courage´ for nothing, you know. With my Semblance always active I was afraid to pursue you under normal circumstances, but…I've always…" A sniffle, a choking sob; Qrow's voice came out a strangled croak before she cleared her throat, her lips grazing Tai's. "Please…just for one night, at least."

She smelled nice despite the alcohol on her breath. Qrow usually didn't bother with perfumes but her fragrance was rather enticing tonight. Tai couldn't deny the effect this woman had on his body even though he had never quite viewed her in the same light as Raven or Summer.

Qrow moved her hips, grinding over Tai's pelvis with a shudder. He twitched, base instincts tempting him to move, and he grabbed a pale curve while pulling down the waistline of his underwear.

"Tch! You better not regret this in the morning."

He claimed Qrow's lips in a lengthy, hot kiss; years of sexual frustrations at Qrow's hands and the long dry-spell reached the surface as he quickly lost himself in the embrace, mapping out his sister-in-law's backside and fisted her black hair. Tai shuddered and moaned into the kiss, further losing himself with the prior aversion gone and forgotten in favour of feeling more of the dark-haired beauty.

Qrow rolled her hips fervently, sullying his cock with her excitement in impatience rutting. "T-Taaaiii… Finally…"

"You want me so badly?" Tai huskily asked and patted Qrow's ass. "Fine. I'll give you what you want."

"Good…hic. Then…maybe you'll see I'm better than those two…"

A certain fire lit up in Tai's belly at those words, and he flipped his former teammate over…

"A-aahh! Taaiii!"

"Keep it down, Qrow!" Tai hushed at him sternly before he was pushed back down between the brunette's legs, face buried against a pretty pink sex.

She had him locked in place, quivering as he ate her out with gusto. "S-Sorry…! Wouldn't want to, mmnh, wake up the girls…! But, ah, I, I can't, unf, contain m-my excitement!"

Tai would've agreed if he wasn't preoccupied. Thankfully, Qrow seemed to actually put some effort into stifling her moans as he continued kissing her mons and lapped a hot path along her outer labia, his tongue sliding through the brunette's folds. He nuzzled black curls, his tongue mapping out Qrow's quivering sex with slow strokes before he suckled on her small, sensitive bundle of nerves and made his old teammate cry out huskily.

"Tai…!"

Pleasure flooded Qrow's senses as she bucked against the blond's face, desperate to feel as much as possible and struggling to keep her voice down as she looked her beloved man in the eyes…

Tai leaned back against the bedframe and the pillows, head arched backwards as he quietly moaned. Ecstasy engulfed his dick as Qrow lavished kisses over the turgid organ and suckled the mushroom-head with more gusto than either Raven or Summer.

Qrow, though drunk, knew what she was doing with her tongue as the talented organ swirled around the crown before lapping a path up & down the underside of Tai's twitching cock. Albeit clumsy she pampered the blond near reverently and Tai would be lying if he thought that this wasn't kind of turning him on. Who else could say that they had bedded their entire team?

"Qrow…Oh wow…" he breathed out, low and husky, and patted short black locks encouragingly. "Damn that feels good…!"

Qrow pursed her lips against the tip and kissed it with a chuckle. "Better than those two?"

"Don't bring them into this," he warned her.

A scoff. "Then I suppose I have to double down…"

Before Tai could inquire what she meant the brunette's warm mouth took him inside, wrapping his manhood in heat and applied suction the further down her head bobbed. He bucked, hips twitching, and arched with a string of moans escaping his lips.

"I wouldn't have guessed you still kept condoms around the house~"

Tai shot a glare in Qrow's direction in the darkness. "Yes, well, they're…left from…" His words fell quiet and he shook his head as he closed the night stand's drawer and began fumbling with the package. "It doesn't hurt to have some around in case Ruby or Yang one day brings back boys...Ugh, I hope they don't."

"Aw, it'll be alright. They're smart." The brunette pressed up against his broad back and looped her arms around him as she whispered into the reddening crimson shell of Tai's ear. "If they're anything like you then they will ignore boys' for years."

He scoffed and put on the condom properly before he spun around, pinning his old teammate down in the process and kissed her. He buried a hand in black locks and caressed Qrow's face once he slipped inside with slow thrusts.

Qrow shuddered beneath him and hugged him closer. "Taaai…!"

She kissed him, heartfelt and longingly. She met his thrusts with her own as she rolled her hips as best she could with a shudder, and her inner muscles hugged his endowed organ at intervals. It was slow and passionate, a quiet tryst in the dark with husky utterances and muffled litanies of pleasure.

Even with a condom on Tai could tell just how good Qrow felt around him. Perhaps it was because of his long dry-spell or the fact that he was not in the right head-space at the moment, but being with Qrow felt…right. They were already compatible as teammates and they had become close friends over their time at Beacon Academy. Maybe this could work—

Qrow's legs locked behind Tai's back as the blond began to thrust harder. Ecstasy bloomed over his body with a rippling effect and the pressure tightened by the moment. The brunette clenched around his, her frame taut and her voice leaking out with shrill moans. The bed groaned beneath them with repeated creaks and for a moment Tai forgot that they were not alone in the house – that his daughters were sleeping just down the hall.

He pounded faster. "Qrow…Qrow…you feel incredible…"

The dark bird let out a tipsy little laugh. "Ah! Told ya…mmh! Oh Taiii…! Finally…Give it to me. More…Oh Brothers, how long I've waited…wanted this…! Oh Tai, Tai!"

"We have to be quiet, damn it." Despite himself, Tai pounded harder. His muscles tautened as the pressure knotted tighter. "Fuck…!"

Qrow tightened and quivered as she stifled her voice, reducing it to a shrill whimper. "T-Taaiii…!"

The bedframe squeaked louder beneath them as Tai thrusted faster. He buried his face in the crook of Qrow's neck, lost in the myriad of scents as he pounded her harder in his haze. He was close – closer, still! Qrow was writhing beneath him and clawed at his back until she draw small red lines in her ecstasy.

The adrenaline rushed, the blood pumped and drummed in their ears as their heights beckoned. Tai angled his head and kissed Qrow just as they pushed themselves over the edge and into sweet oblivion.


"DAMN IT!" Tai shouted at the top of his lungs as he rushed out of bed in a fervent search of his clothes. "I'm late, I'm late, I'm late!"

"Nngh…Keep it down would ya…" Qrow muttered as she stirred. Her hair was a mess and her gaze unfocused as she slowly pushed herself up. "Mmh…Oh, good morning, handsome."

"Don't `good morning´ me, Qrow! I'm late for work!" He adjusted his pants and grabbed his belt. "Damn it, I knew I should've forced you into the guestroom!"

"Aw, that's cold, darling. It was you who told me that I better not regret this in the morning." She met his eyes and smirked. "Oh yeah, I remember everything."

"Look, I…" He shook his head. "No, you're right. I'm sorry. I don't regret that we did this…But I'm still late because of you!"

"You're the one who started the second round, blondie~" Qrow teased and fell back against the pillows with a content smile. "I hate to see you go, but I do love to see that ass clad in those shorts."

"Don't distract me, Qrow! I'm supposed to take my class out on a field trip to the Emerald Forest today! Ugh, where did I put the shirt…"

"Oh? You've done a fine job ignoring me for years and now you're suddenly distracted by me?" She snickered and dismissed the glare shot in her direction. "Good news for me. I'll just bask in this for a little while longer while thinking up a nice surprise for you tonight."

Tai buttoned up his shirt and dashed out in a frustrated stride as Qrow chuckled.

True to her word, Qrow had a surprise for him and despite what Tai claimed, it wasn't the only night his old teammate skipped the guestroom from thereon.

Epilogue

"…Are you for real?"

"The test doesn't lie."

Tai eyed the small device and then back up at the brunette. "You're kidding me. You're actually pregnant?"

"Uh-huh."

"We used condoms! How is that even possible?! Did they break or something?"

Qrow shrugged. "What a stroke of bad luck, huh?"

Tai eyed him, deadpanned. "…You amplified it, didn't you?"

"Maaaaybe."
