Falling in Love with a Crow? (Qrow x Reader)

Chapter 3 - Guardian

Qrow was rather annoying, but none the less you rather enjoyed his presence. He was always complaining about something, like his nieces or not having enough to drink. You figured out later that he was rather horrid with his drinking habits, to say the least... Qrow was an alcoholic and you were surprised that his liver hadn't given up on him yet. Amethyst and Crim had both went around making small humerus jokes about his problem which he never took kindly to.. They did make you laugh sometimes, Crim made a snide comment about how his liver had to be the hardest working organ in all of the kingdom. You couldn't lie, she earned a light-hearted chuckle from that. You had to laugh harder when Qrow heard it though, he walked away mumbling about how he never should have taken this job, not like he really had a choice. Oz would have made him take it anyway, you remember Oz telling you about someone who owed him a favor and it was rather large since he saved his life. You expected that his was the return of the favor, giving a small frown you chased after the mumbling 'Professor'. Yes, Qrow was indeed a professor, even though it wasn't at Beacon. You could really care less where he was from, not like you were going to go and visit him when this was all over, the man could barley stand you as it was.

You didn't understand why Oz was making this man protect you. You could protect yourself rather well, you were at the top of the class with that girl from Team JNRP. Her names Phyrra, maybe? You couldn't really remember, never were really good with names. You knew she had something special about her, she was able to control some types of metal. Mostly the metal used in making the weapons that hunters and huntress's used, which made her a very swell team member but as an enemy.. Not so much.

You knew you needed to start heading to class, but your 'guardian' had ideas of his own.

"Qrow? I need to get to class.. You're supposed to stay on my person! Ozzie ordered that, I thought you were in the room for that part?" You questioned.

In fact he was in the room for that meaningless point, but again, it's Qrow. Qrow is used to doing what he wants when he wants, and he usually doesn't have a fanus holding him back. But, were you really a fanus or were you a shape shifter? The two were very different, but rather similar. He couldn't figure you out, or what you were.. and that bothered him.

"Yes I know I'm supposed to be your 'on person guard' or some shit, however i'm not really interested in going to that school right now. It'd be better if you just came with me." His gruff voice spoke out toward you. He knew you were going to reject it, so he grabbed a hold of your small arm. Your skin was soft after reforming, a light blush crossed his face. Qrow had barley even knew you for less than 3 hours and he had already seen you in your undergarments and almost nude but Winter had you covered before that could happen. He shook that thought out of his head before the image could appear.

"Qrow!" You yelled his name for the 3rd time before you got his attention, "Where are we going?"

"Where do you think wolfie?" He sneered "To the bar."

"Oh hell no. I'm too young for that! I could get into trouble with Ozzie because of you!"

"Ozpin knows my habits. I figured he'd know I'd be heading to a bar sometime today."

You tried to free your wrist from his grasp, but it just tightened around it.

"Stop it! Let me go! You bastard!" People started looking towards you two, you were drawing attention to you guys. He brought you close, his face dead serious, his grip tighten .

"Stop making noise." His crimson eyes pierced into your e/c ones. You narrowed your eyes,

"Try me old man, I'll scream if you pull me any farther towards that retched place."

He pulled you closer to him,

"I'm warning you Qrow. Let. Me. Go."

"Sorry Princess, but you aren't going to get everything you want in life." He sneered at you and started walking again.

"You asked for it." you say.

You took a breath to let out a high pitched scream before a large hand covered your mouth muffling the scream. You still caught the attention of the people around you though.

"Jesus, most girls would kill to even be in my presence."

"Sorry to break it to you, but i'm not 'most' girls." You sneered at him after you dragged the hand from your mouth. "You need a shower, you smell like an alcoholic."

He rolled his eyes, "I am an alcoholic."

"That honestly doesn't surprise me."

A man came up to you, "Are you alright? I saw you struggling with.. him."

You look at him over to Qrow and then back to him. His hair was grey almost silver, he wore a lot of black and gray. He was about the same height as your "protector" as well.

"I suppose I'm fine. He's just an ass, I'm just trying to be a good student and get back to school like I'm supposed to." You say rolling your eyes towards Qrow. "But due to orders, he has to follow me, but he just drags me around. It's tiring."

The man gives Qrow a dirty look before saying, "Well, I can escort you to school, and the drunk can go to the bar."

Qrow stares the man down, "And what is your name exactly?"

"Mercury," a girl with green hair walks over, joining the conversation, "This is Emerald.Your names?"

"I'm Y/n and this is Qrow." You stick your hand out for them to shake, they gladly did.

"We're leaving." Qrow grabs your arm before hoisting you over his shoulder.

"Hey! You bastard, put me down!" You frantically tried to keep you skirt down so it didn't show to much.

"Shut it," His voice got seriously low. "Those two are bad news, White Fang. They're associated with them."

Mercury and Emerald watched as Qrow walked away from them with you perched on his shoulder frantically hitting him in the back repeating for him to put you down.

"Strange."
