So, fun fact: this was supposed to be a Tai x Pyrrha fic. Ended up not being able to go through with it because I felt as reluctant about it as I am towards Tai x Weiss/Blake.
The Anthologies of a Sun Dragon
Down the Memory Lane
The 40th Vytal Festival was taking place in Vale this year, and the whole kingdom was eager to take part and watch the matches. Students and civilians alike from the other kingdoms had arrived to participate or watch as well, coming together and setting their differences aside to celebrate.
With Signal Academy on a break for the international holiday Tai had decided to visit Beacon Academy itself, knowing that his daughters would participate in the matches to cheer them on. To return to his old alma mater for the first time in ages overwhelmed him with nostalgia of better times when team STRQ was together – unified. Tai looked back with fondness of his budding romance with Raven as he passed by the courtyard and into the fairgrounds as he chuckled over memories of Qrow's mishaps and Summer's antics.
His eyes brightened as he spotted the clear red-and-black garb and blonde mane of hair over yonder by a noodle stand and immediately jogged over, pride swelling in his chest.
"Heya, girls!"
His daughters turned on their seats, expressions quickly brightening. "Dad!"
A flurry of rose petals trailed in a short, swift path over to him as Ruby hugged him tightly – an act Tai gladly returned – while Yang simply walked over to hug him as soon as her sister released her hold on him.
"What are you doing here? Is Signal taking a break as well?" Ruby inquired.
"Of course, no-one in the country would want to miss this!" Tai exclaimed. "And there's no way I would miss out on watching my girls kick some ass in the tournament!"
Yang cracked a grin. "Aw, dad."
"We're gonna win this for sure!" Ruby chirped.
"Haha! I know you will; you're my daughters after all."
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Xiao-Long," someone else said and the family turned to see the rest of the group approach, having left their seats at the food shop. "I'm Weiss Schnee."
"Ah, one of the teammates I've been hearing so much about! Nice to meet you, Weiss!"
"Blake Belladonna," a young brunette then greeted and nervously offered her hand. "It's nice to meet you."
Tai chuckled and shook the proffered hand. "So you're one of the girls Yang mentioned! Pleased to meet you, but you all can simply call me Tai."
"Right…" Blake glanced over at Yang and shyly smiled. She sidled up against her and linked their arms, and rested her head on the brawler's shoulder.
"And this is our friends, team JNPR!" Ruby pointed out with a smile.
"Oh? A real pleasure to meet you kids! My daughters have told me a lot about you."
"Likewise, sir!" The other blond began. "I'm Jaune Arc."
"Lie Ren." The boy bowed politely.
The ginger girl waved enthusiastically. "Nora Valkyrie! Hiya!"
"And I'm Pyrrha Nikos," the redhead greeted. "Hello."
Tai couldn't stop smiling. Yang never had any trouble making friends, but Ruby was different. To see she had this good handful of friends already (of which she had spoken highly of) warmed his heart.
"So, Yang, where's the other girl you've told me about?"
"Right here," the brawler pointed out as a young brunette approached fairly nervously as all eyes were suddenly on her. Her long bunny ears flattened as she stepped over to Yang's other side and almost hid behind her. "Dad, this is Velvet – Velvet, meet my dad."
"H-Hello! It's nice to finally meet you!"
Tai laughed. "Likewise; it's good to finally meet the girls who won my daughter's heart!" He exclaimed.
"I still find it difficult to grasp that Yang is in a polyamorous relationship," the heiress stated with a slight scoff. "What do you two even see in her?"
Yang smirked. "It's the Xiao-Long charm."
"Ex…cuse you…?"
Tai guffawed. "Ah yes, the Xiao-Long charm! She really takes after me, haha!"
Weiss shifted her gaze between the flaxen-haired father-daughter duo expectantly and puzzled. "…And what exactly does that mean?"
"It means I'm popular," Yang said with a playful grin and eyebrow wiggled, to which Blake rolled her eyes good-naturedly and Velvet giggled. "Boys and girls always give me a second glance."
"Sounds just like me," Tai stated with a goofy grin. "I know my dad and his mom were both really popular in their prime and honestly, so was I when I went to Beacon. Good times." He crossed his arms and chuckled as the fencer – and the rest of the group sans his other daughter – looked at him with various expressions. "I can't really explain it. Honest. I don't mean to brag or anything, but we Xiao-Longs just have it in us."
He paused for a moment and was met with expecting stares.
"I was the same when I went to Beacon, I ended up dating one of my teammates, Yang's mother, and eventually I ended up together with my other teammates, Ruby's mother. It's not like I purposely romanced my two wives, to be fair; both Yang's and Ruby's mothers were the ones romancing me, made the first move." He rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly and chuckled again from the memories. "Honestly, Ruby's mother especially was the one to knock some real sense in me, giving my denseness, haha! I was what you call an idiot at the time; they were quite assertive to boot in order to get through to me."
"Told ya~" Yang chirped.
"Interesting." Weiss turned to face Yang and smirked. "I guess it really must be hereditary then."
"What are you implying, Weiss?"
"Oh, you'll figure it out since you clearly aren't an idiot."
"Hey! I know when you're being sarcastic!"
"I mean, we both had to be fairly loud and clear with our intentions…" Blake said.
Velvet nodded. "Pretty much, yeah. Took you a little while to get it."
"Whoa, hey hey hey! Don't agree with her! Not in front of everyone!"
The group had a good laugh at the oncoming banter while further details of Taiyang's denseness were brought up in detail.
Tai smiled to himself as he strolled around the academy grounds and reminisced about his student years, training, studying, and ending up in various scenarios with his team-members. He found old hiding spots where he and Raven had snuck off for some risky alone time and chuckled to himself, fond of the adventures they had had when not battling monsters. Those had been some good times fit for an erotic novel in his mind.
"Mr. Xiao-Long."
He stopped mid-step and turned around to see the young redhead approach him. "Oh, hello! Ms. Nikos, was it?"
"Yes, sir. I'm glad I found you again. I hope I'm not bothering you."
"Bothering me? Heavens no, I was just reminiscing about days long gone. Beacon will always hold a special place in my heart," he happily told her.
"Because of your female teammates I assume?" She asked and worried her lower lip.
Tai cleared his throat. "I…uhm, yes, that's one reason, haha! So! What can I do for you? Or did you just happen to come this way?"
"No, I…" Pyrrha glanced down at the ground for a moment before straightening and held up her head. "I want to ask for your help."
He cocked an eyebrow over the statement, but being the kind man that he was, Tai couldn't refuse. As a teacher he felt obligated to help a student in need even if it wasn't at Signal. "Of course, Miss Nikos. How can I help you?"
The young woman rolled her shoulders. Her fair cheeks were lightly red and her emerald orbs narrowed down.
"I need your help with getting through to this…boy that I like."
"Oh." Tai rubbed his neck. "That's—"
"I need you to tell me how your wives, ah, put their moves on you."
Taiyang chuckled out of awkwardness. "Hahaha…I suppose I could explain. It's nothing grand though, but if you think it will help—"
Pyrrha's face was beginning to imitate her luscious hair. "You mentioned earlier that it was Ruby's and Yang's mothers, your teammates, who romanced you and got through your denseness as you put it. I'm…in the same situation and I want you to help me get through to him; he's kind, loveable, but dense." She bowed at the waist, one arm over her chest and another over her back. "Please, sir."
"Alright. It's honestly really simple; Yang's mother didn't mince words. She was a physical, showed and made emotions clear through actions. When she, uh, `confessed´ to me, if you could call it that, she literally punched me in the gut and then kissed me."
The young redhead eyed him taken aback. "She…punched you?"
"For being oblivious, apparently. I mean she wasn't wrong, haha!" He shook his head with a smile. "I can see where she was coming from. And Ruby's mother was…well, not so much about punching, but there was definitely a slap to the back of my head or two followed by grabbing me by the collar, look me in the eyes, and told me straight to my face."
"...Sounds rather violent, Mr. Xiao-Long."
He shrugged his shoulders. "They literally knocked some sense into my dense self instead of waiting and hoping. So if I were you I would tell Mr. Arc straight to his face how you feel. And maybe give him a good slap just to make sure!"
Her cheeks grew redder as she averted her gaze. "…With all due respect, sir, Jaune is as dense as he's sweet; and he's a real sweetheart…but yes. I suppose it was as easy as that."
"The worst thing that can happen is that he rejects you. And honestly? It's not the end of the world." He crossed his arms over his chest and chuckled. "It would hurt, of course, but at least you then know what would happen when you asked him out instead of wondering while waiting for him to make the first move."
"That's true…Maybe I grew used to people approach me so often that I assumed…" She shook her head and smiled at him. "Thank you, Mr. Xiao-Long. I know what I need to do now."
He shook her proffered hand. "My pleasure, Ms. Nikos. Best of luck."
The young Huntress giggled and jogged off back to the fairgrounds with a noticeable spring in her step, to Tai's amusement.
As he resumed walking around the academy memories of a certain dark bird came to mind…and the way she had slapped some sense into him.
x.x.x
It was during their second year – which happened to be the Vytal Festival – and Summer and Qrow were out doing their own things.
"Alright," he began and ran a hand through his hair. "So, uhm, about why did you bring me back here—"
The door was locked with a click behind him and Raven walked past, her gaze unwavering. She slapped Tai across the back of the head and dragged him towards onto the bed.
"I'm done waiting."
"Waiting? For what?"
"For you to make a move. I confessed and everything, but we haven't even fucked." The raven-haired (no pun intended) girl eyed him with a stony glare. "Strip down."
Tai was at a loss for words.
Raven wasn't a woman of words; she made it clear what it was she wanted through physical means. She strode forward and stopped right in front of Tai and placed one foot against his chest. "I said; strip."
He unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his muscular chest bit by bit. He fumbled with the strap for his metal spaulder before it fell against the floor.
As soon as his vest and shirt were off the heel of her boot pressed against his chest and pushed him down on the bed.
"Too slow."
Her deft hands worked on his cargo-shorts and pulled them down as Tai instinctively kicked off his shoes. She tensed up; her gaze focused on his underwear for a moment before she looked away, her face red.
"Ah…Something wrong?"
Raven cleared her throat. "No, not at all. I was just thinking—" She shook her head and straightened as she snapped her fingers. "Undress me."
Tai chuckled. "Gladly."
From this moment onwards, the cool beauty had a habit of forcing Tai to undress her while she watched him stripping her out of her armour and clothes, confident while her arousal stormed behind her bravado.
As the swordswoman's body was gradually bared before his eyes Tai couldn't help but admire her; she was tall, not much shorter than him, and her body was in peak condition, fit and hale, strong, but feminine. Years of training prior to the Huntsman Academy had sculpted her body to near peak condition and her swordsmanship had further shaped her lower body and arms, creating a canvas of slim muscle contour.
The moment she was in naught but her underwear – beautiful crimson with ebon trims that cupped her impressive bosom and snugly hugged her hips and the apex between her thighs – Raven's cheeks were slightly red.
"…If you want to stop, just tell me, okay?"
She glared at him, her crimson eyes smouldering. "Why the hell would I want to stop?"
Tai didn't reply. He merely chuckled and slowly pulled down Raven's underwear; his heart pounded as the landing-strip of wild, black curls peeked through bit by bit, until her bundle of nerves, slightly engorged and pinkish-red, came into view.
Their breaths hitched.
Her panties, damp at the front, were yanked down and Raven's pretty pink sex was exposed to the blond's gaze; labia lips, flushed red with arousal, were dripping wet and the musky scent was strong and intoxicating.
A hand fisted his hair and pulled him closer, pressing his face up against Raven's sex that made the swordswoman shudder. Tai instinctively lapped a hot path along her lower lips, his chin coated in her excitement as she grinded against him from the pleasure. His tongue found her clit and flicked at it for the added stimulation before he was encouraged to suckle it directly.
Before long Tai was pushed onto his back while Raven undid and threw away her bra, revealing creamy pale breasts, a sight he didn't get to enjoy before she straddled his face properly.
Raven's thighs squeezed his head as he shallowly drew slow circuits around her bundle of nerves and licked her labia, making the swordswoman tense up. She buried her nails into his scalp and rolled her hips, her breath coming out in a husky staccato of low sounds while Tai fucked her slit with his tongue, lost in the heady musk—
"Ahh~!"
Her pale thighs pressed together with mighty tension. Her unique taste spilled over his tongue and mouth, glazing the blond's face while he gulped down Raven's excitement.
Raven shuddered and let out a throaty sound before climbing off of him. Her gaze was heavy-lidded yet fierce, smouldering with desire.
Tai's heart hammered in his chest. Raven crawled back over with in a slow gait and tugged at the waistline of his underwear without a word, pulling the article off the blond and allowing his member to spring up to full attention. Tai watched with stifled amusement as her crimson eyes widened for a brief moment sizing up his cock.
"Impressed?" He coyly asked.
She shot him a mild glare. "Don't get full of yourself. Sit up, cross your legs, and lean back."
He quickly obeyed the husky command and leaned back against his hands when the swordswoman straddled him; her legs were bent at the knees, similar to how she sometimes sat at the seiza position, but splayed enough for his cock to penetrate her lower lips—
They trembled against each other in a rush of heat. Tai's shaft slipped deeper inside as Raven lowered her haunches, her inner walls spreading and sporadically clenching around rigid flesh.
She draped an arm around his neck, her free hand feeling up the flat, muscular expanse of his chest and abdomen when she began to move; Raven grinded against his hips, starting slowly while steadily picking up speed. The swordswoman was in control while Tai simply enjoyed the ride.
Velvet inner muscles clenched in a soft vice-grip of wet heat and he rolled his head back, sighing with pleasure as it spread from synapse to synapse. This wasn't how he had imagined his first time with Raven to go, but he wasn't going to complain when the swordswoman was bucking and grinding up against him.
Her lips pressed against his in a possessive and astonishingly long kiss. Her bosom pressed against his chest as she flung her other arm around his neck, her turgid nipples poking him.
The pleasure was fanned into greater heights in a surge of heat as Raven rode him faster. She leaned back, her hands drifting down to Tai's knees as she kept grinding roughly and swiftly against him while his muscles tautened from the position. It was like she was riding a rocking-horse, except rough and salacious.
"Raven…Fuck…" The pressure down below was wounding tighter. "This feels amazing…"
"Mmhm…Aah!" She shuddered and tightened up, jerking her hips. "Tai…!"
The ecstasy rippled over his cock. Wet heat was squeezing him tightly and pushing him over the edge, the pleasure washing through him in waves as he was completely hilted inside of Raven, his orgasm swiftly approaching.
"Tai…!"
"Raven!"
The swordswoman grinded intensively against him until he reached orgasm and erupted inside feminine, velvet depths with hip-jerking pleasure while Raven rode out her high. Their throaty sounds bounced off the walls of their dorm room as they quivered against each other, rigid flesh pulsing against inner walls, and their heartbeats unhurriedly slowed down.
Raven slumped against Tai, his arms trembling from the position. Her face was buried in the crook of his neck, breathing hard.
"You okay, Raven?"
She glanced up at Tai and levelled her head with his. In a rare display of tenderness she kissed him, slowly, shyly, and heartfelt.
x.x.x
Tai sighed and smiled to himself. Those had been some good times regardless of how things had ended between the two of them.
It took him a moment to realize that he had walked absentmindedly around the academy grounds for, to his shock, almost two hours now! He was going to miss his daughters' match if he didn't hurry and took the next flight to Amity Arena!
He began to jog his way back to the landing platforms when he rounded a corner past one of his and Raven's old `Lover's Spots´ —
"Oooh, Jaaaune~!"
Tai stopped into a sudden crouch behind the bushy hedges. Curiosity got the best of him as he despite himself peeked behind the foliage and, to his immense surprise, saw the redheaded student straddling the blond boy he met earlier with an amorous ferocity.
"Oh wow…" He quietly chuckled to himself. "Well done, Ms. Nikos. Mr. Arc is a lucky young man."
As Tai silently stepped away from the scene, he made a mental note to distract himself as much as possible to get rid of his awkward boner.
