Summer and Qrow
Series: RWBY
xxxxxxxxxxxx
"Hey Qrow." Taiyang said while walking towards the man as he read a book. "Have you seen Summer anywhere?"
"No." he said while not looking from his book. "Why are you looking for her?"
"I was going to ask her to head to Vale with me." He sighed. "But I could ask Raven instead."
"She's out training."
"Aw man." he groaned while not noticing that Qrow's bed had a lump in it. "I guess I'll look else where."
"Yeah you go do that." He said while Taiyang left the room. "...you can come out Summer."
The lump moved as Summer's head popped up. "Oh thanks for that Qrow, I owe you one."
"No prob."
Summer smiled at that. "So what are you reading?"
"A Hundred Ways to Get A Girlfriend." He said while looking at the book.
"Ooooh?" she smiled. "Sounds like someone actually wants to get himself hooked."
He blushed. "Well yeah. I mean look at Taiyang, he's literally a walking ladies man."
"Well it's probably the muscles, lots of girls go gaga over that."
He rolled his eyes. "Some like brains too you know sunshine."
"Don't call me that birdbrain!"
"The day you stop calling me that nickname I will."
She sighed. "Look if you want I can help get you a girlfriend. Call it returning a favor for helping me out before."
"Alright, I'll take it."
"Good, the first thing is not to drink." She said sternly. "I know you sneak a drink but girls hate the smell of alcohol."
"I don't drink that much." he frowned while going to the bathroom and discretely grabbing some mouthwash.
'Oh that silly boy.' She thought to herself while seeing him gargling ten gulps of mouthwash. 'You silly silly boy.' "Oh and girls love when you trim your beard."
"Woah there, I'm not trimming this bad boy. When I graduate this is gonna be the eye candy."
"I mean trim it to a reasonable size. Like a little bit, like a brush." She said while showing him a picture of a boy with such a beard, which was stubbed but still made him look older.
"I'm not so sure."
"Well if Taiyang can do it, why can't you?" She teased.
He frowned at that. "Give me a few seconds."
(Two minutes later)
Summer snickered at Qrow as he did shave, but had some cuts and shaving cream all over his face.
"Not one. Word."
She chuckled before saying. "If I was your girlfriend, I would be saying you look ridiculous and funny. But right now, you look funny! Ahaha!"
He rolled his eyes before walking over and pulling her hood over her face.
"Ah! Qrow!" She yelled. "What the hell man?!"
"We are even sunshine."
"Birdbrain!" She cried reaching out and plucking some of the hairs left on his chin.
"OW!" He yelled while giving her a noogie.
"AHHHH!" she screamed while grabbing him and pulling him onto the bed while trying to get away from him.
Qrow grabbed her by the cape and started giving her wet willy's as Raven walked in.
"Hey, is my text book….." she noticed the scene and blinked. "Another fight?"
"She/He started it!"
"And I'll finish it if you don't stop." She said with an edge before taking her textbook and left. "So pucker up and make up."
They blushed at that before looking at each other.
"Um Qrow, sorry about the laughing and stuff."
"Yeah, you do owe me that." he replied bluntly.
She sighed before saying. "If you want, I could um…..go on a date with you. Not a date date! Just a test date so you can feel confident and comfortable with a girl or guy you might like."
"But won't everyone think it's real?"
"Not if we head out of Beacon. Like maybe to Vale or maybe the Emerald Forest." She said before getting an idea. "I know! We can go on a date when everyone's sleeping and we can investigate the school."
"The first one sounds better."
"Aw." She slightly pouted. "But I wanted to try it."
"Then why ask me?"
"Because you have a better sense of judgement." She said with sincerity.
"Really? Cause Raven doesn't think so."
"She's just doesn't know the real you." She chuckled. "So want to go now or later?"
"Now, everyone else is in class right now so it'll be perfect."
Summer smiled before looking around and grabbed Qrow by the arm and jumped out the window, which was from the second floor. "YAHOOOOOOO!"
"SUMMER!" He screamed before they landed onto a rose bush. "OW!"
(One airship later)
"Sorry about that." Summer blushed. "Kind of forgot about the thorns."
He pulled a thorn out of his cheek. "Gee, that's perfectly fine. I just love landing in a bush and plucking thorns from every part of my body."
"Hey I had the same thing too!" She frowned while pulling out a thorn from her forehead. "Ow! And it just happened."
"Well next time we use the front door."
Summer nodded before saying. "You know, Raven told me to tell you that you needed a break from getting beaten everyday. Her words not mine mind you."
He rolled his eyes as the ship landed with a thud. "Let's just try and get through this."
Summer sighed as they got off the airship, only to see a brochure for ice cream. "Oh! I know where we should go for our practice date!"
"What?"
She grabbed the brochure and pointed to the label, Ice cream Owl. "Let's get some ice cream. And rule one about dating a girl, always go to a place where they like. Especially when they have cookies and cream ice cream."
"What if they're lactose intolerant?"
"...just saying." She pouted. "And it might have yogurt or gelato."
"Well lead the way, you're the expert here."
She nervously nodded while taking Qrow's hands and ran into the town.
(Two minutes later)
"Um…."
"You lead us to a dead end." Qrow deadpanned as they stared at a brick wall in an alleyway.
"I know that! But I thought the place was around the left corner?"
"It was the right."
"..." she facepalmed.
'If I ever do get with a girl I hope she's not this scatterbrained.'
Summer turned around and notice something on the ground. "Huh?" she then picked up a wad of cash. "What the…?"
"Woah, I think you just got lucky."
She counted it and found….wow. "I-It's 400 lien! Oh my god! We're rich Qrow!"
'What dumbass drops that much loot?' He thought before his eyes trailed to a large bag with more wads of cash inside. "Summer."
She turned and saw it before looking it over and jaw dropped. "Ah...Ah….1,000,000 lien….so much….."
'Ok, now I know this is too crazy to be real.'
"Qrow! We need to use this! Just look at it! We're rich!" She cried out with glee.
Just then a woman with white hair and wearing a gray dress walked by with worry. "Where did that thief take it? I know they came this way?"
'Knew it was too good to be true.'
The woman walked by and noticed them and the bag. "Why do you have my bag?" 'Are they in league with that thief?'
"Um…" Summer looked around nervously. "It fell from the sky!"
"..."
"We found it lying on the ground." Qrow said.
"Oh thank god! I thought it was long gone and in some grubby man's hands."
"I think he went that way." spoke Qrow pointing left.
"But birdbrain, we didn't see anyone!" Summer frowned.
"Quiet." he whispered.
The woman sighed. "Look, I appreciate you two finding it. So I'll give you half of the money as a reward."
"Really?!" Summer said in surprise.
"Of course, why would a Schnee lie?"
"Isn't that a bit much?" asked Qrow.
"No no. You did a good deed and unlike my food of a brother in law I'm not one for being an ingrate." She waved off while giving each 400 lien. "Oh and my names Cheimon Schnee."
"Well...thanks." he replied while surprised.
"Really thank you so much." Summer smiled.
Cheimon nodded. "Well I must be off, but I promise that if one of my nieces or nephews meet your family that they will always know your friends of mine."
"Oh um us too?" She said as the woman walked off and left them alone in the alleyway. "Sweet!"
"Well that was interesting." Qrow remarked while surprised about the whole thing before seeing Summer smiling and looking like Raven after winning ten fights in a row. "So, ice cream?"
"Oh right! Let's go!" she proclaimed running ahead of him.
(At the ice cream parlor)
"It's so cool!" She cried out seeing the ice cream in the shape of a great horned owl. "Look at all the cool ice cream!"
"Easy there, otherwise you're gonna get thrown out before we even order."
She blushed. "Sorry, but dating rule 23, the girl always gets surprised. And I'm just so happy right now."
"Oh? And what other rules are there?"
"About 3000 or more."
His eyes widened. "Please tell me you're messing with me."
"Nope. It's a real deal." She giggled before running into the shop, only to see a man with red hair in her way.
CRASH!
"Ow!"
"Summer!"
"I'm ok."
The man looked at her before saying. "Look little white cap, you should be more careful around these parts. Who knows what people in this neck of the woods would react to a simple bump."
"And who are you?"
"Torchwick." He said while fixing his suit. "Roman Torchwick at your service."
"Well we're here to get ice cream, so that's what we're gonna be doing." spoke Qrow.
"You do that." He said before saying. "And word of advice, if you're trusting, try to remember not everyone in this world is friendly and sweet."
"We'll keep that in mind."
The man walked away while taking a cigar out and lit it. 'Now to the business of raising my daughter. Mmm, what parasol to give her for her birthday?'
"He's weird." Summer said with a deadpanned expression.
"You said it."
"He reminds me of a smooth talking version of Taiyang, but without the hat and smells like cigs."
"Now that's a sight to see." he chuckled as they walked up to the counter. "You order first."
"No you. I insist." She said with a smile.
"Isn't it a rule to let the girlfriend choose first?"
"...touché." She said before saying. "One mega cookie and cream owl with marshmallows, sprinkles and extra hot sauce. In a owl cone."
"And I'll take a chocolate butterscotch swirl with nuts."
"That will be 35 lien." The man said as they gave him some of their non earned money from their wallets. "Thank you, take a seat and we'll bring it out."
The two walked over and sat down in one of the booths.
"So….how's your scythe?" Summer asked while twiddling her thumbs.
"Fine, and it's just as sharp as yours sunshine."
"Knock it off birdbrain."
"Not gonna happen."
She frowned before sighing. "Qrow, I have a slight confession."
"What? Cause if this is about your cookie problem we already know, you don't try to hide it."
"It's not that." She said seriously. "It just...this is my first date I ever had."
"You mean practice date, right?"
"I mean any date." She blushed. "You're the first one I asked."
"Oh...oh!" he spoke understanding. "Wait, really?"
She nodded. "Really."
"What about Taiyang? Haven't you ever asked him out?"
"No I didn't because he was seeing Raven and other girls." She sighed. "Plus I'm nervous too, especially with other boys I don't know."
"Ah, so you figured I'd work cause I've never gone on a date, right?"
"No no not that!" Summer said while shaking her hands. "You're cool and sweet and nice and stuff but I just…..thought you would be a cool person to be with. Plus we make a good team right?"
"Well we ARE on the same team, so technically yeah."
"And between you and me, I think you are a cool partner. Since we did find each other during initiation."
"Oh where you were running from a Ursa?"
"Hey I was discombobulated thanks to that platform ejecting us into the air!" She blushed.
"We all were, except for me." he smirked.
Summer raised an eyebrow. "Oh? When I found you, you were submerged in quicksand and looked like a rock."
"Hey! You told me you wouldn't bring that up sunshine!"
"Too bad birdbrain." She smirked as two large owl shaped cones with ice cream for wings and feathers were placed on the table.
"Enjoy." The waiter said before walking away.
"This looks good." remarked Qrow grabbing his own cone and took a lick from it. "And tastes good."
"Yeah." Summer smiled while tasting some. "And its like heaven on earth!" 'Ah! So good~~!'
"Just try not to go overboard, last thing I need is you going into a sugar craze."
"I should say the same to you." She smiled while eating some more.
(Half way into the food)
"Qrow. Is it true you wanted to wear a cloak because I wore one?"
"No, I did it cause I figured it would make me look mysterious and have the girls flocking to me."
"Well it didn't." She chuckled. "But you did make me flattered."
"Is that something a girl likes on a date?"
"A little. But it needs to be the right color. Like if the girl likes white you wear white and vise versa." She said while chuckling. "But if you ask me, you look nice in anything."
He blushed.
"Plus you are a nice guy, even if you are a bit of a drunk."
"I told you I don't drink much, one drink a week, two at tops."
"Qrow." She said with a serious yet concerned tone. "If you keep that up then you'll become an addict and I don't want you to get sick or occupied by this addiction."
"I keep telling you, I'm not gonna be a drunk. I just drink it cause it's bitter, but the slight buzz I get feels good. Besides it doesn't impair me or my fighting, so what's the big deal?"
"The big deal is that I don't want to see you getting sick. I'm just worried about you Qrow."
He groaned. "Summer, I'll be fine, I promise."
"You promise on your life, my life and the life of everyone in our team?" She said with a concerned tone.
He sighed. "Yes."
Summer smiled while finishing her treat. "Then I'm happy. And since you did that, I promise to fix my addiction to cookies and sweets."
That made him nearly choke in surprise. "W-What?"
"You heard me. I'll fix my addiction to cookies and sweets since you wanted to fix your addiction to alcohol." She said with a smile.
He facepalmed. "I'm not an addict."
"That's the first sign of being one. Saying you're not." She said before changing the subject. "Qrow, what do you really think about me?"
"What do you mean?"
"Like your real feeling towards me. And I'm not going to get mad or upset about anything you say about me, but I just want an honest answer."
"Oh well….you're sweet, annoying at times, a bit scatterbrained, occasionally nerdy, and…" he sighed. "Adorable like a puppy."
She blushed crimson at the last part. "W-W-W-What?"
"It's true. I mean I could have said beautiful or sexy but that's not you. You're more of an adorable girl with a good heart."
She felt her heart flutter at that. "W-Well um...you're good looking, annoying when you wake up, have nice abs, a nice adorable face and….really REALLY sweet like a button."
He blushed before it went silent and they looked away from the other. 'I can't believe she really thinks that way.'
'This is so awkward!'
After a few minutes Summer started to talk.
"Qrow, I know it was silly of me to say all that stuff but….well it's just the truth. I mean you are handsome and the like."
"Summer? Is this still a practice, or….is it a real date?"
Summer gulped while looking away. "What if it was? Did you….not like it or something?"
"Well I'm not saying it was bad, honestly it was pretty good and simple."
"Then what's wrong?" She asked with a hint of worry.
"I didn't say there was anything wrong, just...look tell me to my face, is this a practice or real date?"
She saw his face and gulped before saying nervously. "I-I-I-It's a….real date." 'AHHH I SCREWED UP!'
Qrow blushed and gulped. 'Alright, then I can make a big move here, do it man!'
"S-So…..um….are you….embarrassed about being with a girl like me?"
"I'll let this answer." he put his cone down, walked around, and grabbed her by the shoulders.
She went blushed while unsure what to do now. 'Oh my god what should I do?!'
He leaned down and pressed their lips together.
Summer's eyes widened while turning as red as her hair as she felt really happy and shocked at the same time.
After a few minutes Qrow removed his lips and smirked. "How's that?"
"..." she looked at him before kissing him back and smiled. "You birdbrain, you silly bird brained fool."
"If I'm a bird brained fool then your a ray of sunshine in my life."
"You got that right."
He chuckled at that as they returned to eating ice cream.
(Next day)
-Beacon-
"Taiyang, Raven. I have an announcement." Summer said while sitting on a chair near a round table they used for team meetings.
"Is it you going on a cookie fast?" Raven asked bluntly.
"Yes and no. I'll stop eating too much sweets but that's not the important matter at hand."
"Then what is it?"
Summer pointed to Qrow and smiled. "Me and Qrow are dating."
"Wait, what?" spoke Taiyang in surprise.
"What's to be surprised about?" Qrow said with a smirk. "We had a date and had fun."
"And kissed."
"And kissed." He rolled his eyes. "Really Taiyang, why are you so surprised about us dating?"
"Well you never dated before, so seeing you actually get with someone is like seeing a dream."
Summer sighed before walking over and kissed Qrow on the cheek. "Taiyang, just move on."
Raven smirked at that. "I agree, move on and just date someone else. Maybe your reflection perhaps."
"Hey! What'd I do?"
"Nothing, I just like seeing you miserable."
He frowned at that before seeing Summer and Qrow making out in front of him. "Oh really? You're gonna do that here?"
Summer gave a thumbs up while Raven smirked.
'Oh I'm going to enjoy this so much. And for once, I wish you luck brother.' She thought as the screen went black.
