Winter wiped at her face as she walked up the sidewalk to the front door of Qrow's house. She held back tears as she rang the doorbell, hoping to hear the voice that she loved so much. Soon enough, the body of the voice opened the door.
"Winter?" He greeted her, shocked at her appearance.
"Hey." She sniffed, letting a few tears drip out of her eyes and onto her bruised and swollen face.
"Dad got angry again." She stuttered, shrugging her shoulders.
"Come in." Qrow turned, ushering Winter into his front door.
Winter took a few steps into the room that she had become too familiar with, before turning around to face her boyfriend.
"I'm sorry. I just needed to see you." She said, more tears falling onto her cheeks.
"It's fine, Winter." He stepped forward to her, brushing her tears off her face. She smiled, and he did the same.
"I'm still not used to this." She giggled, grabbing the back of his head and bringing him in for a kiss. His lips sent a spark of joy through her body, almost forgetting what she had just gone through at home.
"Me neither." Qrow said between kisses while running his hands down her back.
"Just," Winter said, "stay with me."
"Always." Qrow replied.

The two lay on Qrow's bed. Kissing like they would both disappear in seconds. Winter let out a laugh while their lips were parted.
"What are you laughing at?" Qrow asked, letting out a chuckle himself.
"Oh, just wondering what my father would do if he found out about us." She giggled to herself.
"Thats funny to you?" Qrow joked, "I'd be dead and buried in the yard before you could explain yourself."
"Exactly. I feel so rebellious." She rolled over on her back.
"I hate keeping secrets." He said, rolling over on his back as well.
"Sometimes you have to." Winter cooed, intertwining her fingers with his.
"So, what happens next? You join the military and I stay here waiting like a war wife?"
The two of them begin to laugh. Winter leaned her head onto Qrow's shoulder, while also lifting her leg and draping it over his hips.
"Well, maybe my plans have changed?" Winter said with a grin.
"I'll go where ever you go." Qrow smirked.
