"Qrow, I know that somethings going on... you seem to not remember what it is though." Ozpin said, Qrow rolled his eyes as they listened to the ticking of the office
"I don't know what you're talkin' about." Qrow waved off, Ozpin rolled his eyes at that and spoke "Akame seems to know, shes told me that whenever you sleep around her you mutter in your sleep, and occasionally moved in a... strange manner." Ozpin clarified
"Okay, so every few weeks or so I have a hard time sleeping, what of it?" Qrow caved as he walked over to Ozpins' desk and leaned on it
"Well I was hoping we could watch your brainwaves and see what happens for the next few nights, if you don't mind." Ozpin answered earning a sigh from Qrow
"Fine, I'll do it, but only if I get paid." Qrow agreed as he pushed off Ozpins' desk and walked to the elevator
"You'll be paid the same amount as any of the other test subject." Ozpin agreed causing Qrow to freeze and turn to him
"There are others?" Qrow questioned awkwardly
"Yes, its an on going experiment to see what happens to different people as they sleep. Is that a problem?" Ozpin questioned back
"I have... trouble, sleeping around other people." Qrow answered earning a nod from Ozpin
"No worries, you'll all be put into separate rooms to produce the best results. The experiment starts a 7:33 PM." Ozpin reassured earning a sigh of relief from Qrow
"Right. Send me the address and I'll meet you there around that time." Qrow said as he entered the elevator
"I will." Ozpin agreed, after the door shut he sighed, then spun himself around and stared out the window of his office deciding to take a quick break
(o)
Qrow entered the building and looked around, there were two people at the reception, one was Ozpin the other was Winter
"You coulda said that she would be here." Qrow coldly commented
"I'm here in General Esdeaths' stead, she believe that your experiment would fail with her present." Winter explained with an equal coldness
"I wonder why you two don't get along." Ozpin commented as he began towards a door
"Well you see-" Qrow began but was stopped by Winter quickly putting both her hands over his mouth
"ITS- Its because he's a disgusting drunk-" Winter quickly began to say but was cut off by Qrow who pulled her hands from his mouth
"She just couldn't get enoug-" Qrow tired again but was foiled by Winter kneeing him in the gut
"I can see this is already going swimmingly." Ozpin commented again as he ignored the two who began to argue
(o)
After what felt like an hour of shouting they arrived to the room marked with Qrows' name
"Finally, we're here." Ozpin said with a sigh or relief
"Yeah, now then, I'm gonna go get some sleep. Winter try and act like an adult, unlike last time I slept in the same building as you." Qrow happily said as he entered the room quickly and slammed the door, walking over to the bed Qrow collapsed with a sigh, there was a monitor rapped around the pillow so he at least knew he'd be getting a healthy dose of radiation as he slept, lying in bed he closed his eyes and waited
(\_/)
Qrow reopened his eyes, strangely enough he was staring at the sky, not the room he was in, attempting to sit up he couldn't looking over his shoulder he saw Leone, who was happily sleeping next to him, the only different was the fact that her cat ears and a tail were there without Lionelle, after a few seconds of staring at her his memory caught up, and he remember everything, Leone visiting almost everyday, every few weeks they would get together and relax in ways that would make Ozpin blush. Reaching over to her Qrow placed his hand on her head and ran his fingers through her hair causing her ears to flick, he continued to do that over and over again until he lost track of time. After what felt like hours Leone let go of him and rolled over onto her back and stretched causing Qrow to stop
"I didn't say stop." Leone said opening her eyes and staring at him, Qrow blinked a few times
"How long have you been awake?" Qrow asked as she rolled over again and stretched like a cat before grabbing onto him and forced his hand onto her head
"Don't. Stop. Petting. Me." Leone ordered causing Qrow to sigh and continue petting her
"So?.." Qrow asked as he pet her
"I've been awake sense you started petting me, I was gonna tell you to stop but it feels so good." Leone answered "I think that's just the lion in me speaking though."
"I've been meaning to ask about that." Qrow commented "Why are you doin' that again?" Qrow asked gesturing to her hair
"What? Do you like my other form?" Leone questioned raising an eyebrow at him suspiciously
"I like your hair shorter." Qrow clarified earning a hum from Leone
"And here I thought you like me for me." Leone said Qrow did a double take
"Wait a minute... I didn't mean- what I meant was- I-" Qrow began to they and explain but just grabbed his head and forced it into her chest
"I know." Leone said as her hair shrank and her ears paws and tail returned to her form "Now keep petting me." Leone ordered again Qrow rolled his eyes but that was unseen thanks to Leones' chest, reaching up he began to pet her again
(o)
"What is happening?" Winter asked watching Qrows' brainwaves, they kept acting and reacting over and over again, as though he was functioning as normal but not at all, what was even stranger was that hes heart kept skipping beats, she couldn't understand
"He has clearly fallen in love with someone in his dreams, I know someone with a semblance that acts as a gateway for others to enter someones mind, shes not a big fan of using it though... that and she and Qrow aren't on the best of terms."
"How many woman hasn't he pissed off?" Winter questioned earning a chuckle from Ozpin
"I think there's a woman in Atlas who isn't pissed with him, but if I told you it would certainty make you even angrier with him." Ozpin said as he went back to watching Qrow
(\_/)
Qrow pushed Leone off him and took a deep breath of air
"I couldn't breath... why didn't you stop?" Qrow questioned through deep breaths
"I was enjoying myself, so I lost track of time... I would have stopped before anything bad happened... maybe, its been a long time sense I last saw you." Leone explained as she sat up, Qrow rolled his eyes at that and sighed
"I was too, but you know... being conscious is kinda the best part of this." Qrow commented earning a chuckle from Leone
"Yeah... that makes sense." Leone agreed nodding then froze for a few seconds before speaking again "Well... I don't think were gonna be around each other for much longer."
"Whys that?" Qrow asked confusion evident in his voice
"You're kinda glowing, that means you're gonna wake up soon." Leone answered earning a nod from Qrow
"So if I ever see someone glowing that means they'll wake up soon, yeah?" Qrow snarked earning an eye roll from Leone
"Probably, 'sides I gotta get moving soon anyways, who knows what'll be waiting for me." Leone said as she stood and helped Qrow up
"Where are you going?" Qrow asked, genuinely concerned for her safety
"Don't quite know, but I know I'm heading in the general direction." Leone waved off as she pointed at a nearby mountain to them
"Right... Well if you ever need any help, just ask." Qrow said casually, Leone snorted at that
"Yeah, I'll call on you. Just take a quick nap in the middle of a fight and all." Leone joked, Qrow rolled his eyes at that
"Right, I'll-" Qrow began but disappeared before he finished
"Every time... time to get moving then." Leone said to herself and began to walk towards her destination
(o)
Qrow sat up and rubbed his eye
"Good morning Qrow, how was your sleep?" Ozpins voice came from the doorway
"It was pretty good, so what'd I dream about?" Qrow asked as he stood and stretched
"You don't remember?" Ozpin questioned, Qrow nodded his head prompting Ozpin to speak again "Well that's quite the issue then, from what we could see your dream was completely vivid, you should remember large portions of it at the very least."
"I don't remember a thing." Qrow said "Every couple of weeks that'll happen, ever sense I got back from the empire, I've just chalked it up to PTSD, considering that's how it was when I was first diagnosed with it."
"Are you sure it wasn't the; nightmares, guilt, distrust of everyone but your family and myself, the alcoholism, hostility, isola-"
"I get it." Qrow said coldly as he walked towards the door "Anything weird happen though?"
"It seemed like your brain was functioning for two. That and your heart kept skipping beats, after you woke up though, it stopped. You should see a doctor about that, I don't think its healthy." Ozpin answered earning a sigh from Qrow
"I guess I'll see someone about it." Qrow waved off as he exited the room only to get into another shouting match with winter
"Why is to day the day this drags on?" Ozpin questioned no one before exited after the two
A/N Woo! This one came out of no where, I just felt like writing something for Dreams of the past it was fun to do the first few times, but I felt I hit a wall, so I stopped, now I've found that the wall has a small crack in it... and also its like ten feet and you could just walk around it... I don't think this analogy works anymore.
