@ducknotinarow​ (Raven) from HERE

Raven expected the lash out with him throwing thing back at her. She just let him throw his little fit either way like he said why would she care anyway these weren’t new words to her she had heard all this before, not necessarily from Qrow. Until the end of that, she blinked and stared at her brother a moment. As he seemed to take noticed of what he said as well. Was that really a surprise though? that Qrow felt that way when it came to summer. Looking back that made sense and seemed he’d been still holding a flame for their late team mate all this time even in her death. Raven thought before she went to speak up. “Love or not Summer had her mind set it doesn’t matter who cared or how much they cared, she left.” cold and uncaring that was just Raven wasn’t it? “Say even if you did find her would that have been enough? you know how stubborn she could be under that smile, when she was determined you know how she got. How does any of that fall on to your shoulders?”

“If you did find her would that have been enough?”

That was the million lien question now wasn’t it? Would it have been enough? Would HE have been enough to stop it? Qrow didn’t know and it was the fact that he hadn’t even tried to know that ate him alive. 

“It doesn’t matter.” His voice strained and defeated. “I’ll never know because I didn’t try harder. I quit searching because... because I knew I had things back here... someone had to... to...”

The words died in his throat. Raven didn’t know the truth, no one did. He couldn’t expect her, or anyone else for that matter, to understand what was going on in his head... or his heart... right now. 

“One of us had to make sure we were here... for... for her... It should have been Summer. She deserved that much, but instead she got me...” It was very clear now that Qrow was referring to entirely different ‘she’ at this point. That’s what was killing him inside more than anything, the fact that the wrong person survived, the wrong person was given the time. 

“Summer was more selfish than she realized. I guess I rubbed off too much on my partner over the years...”

Sometimes Qrow wondered if he really was any different than Raven... despite years of trying to convince himself he was.

@littleblackqrow​ sent:  “You want me to punch him in the face??”

The flat look that crossed Tai’s face was a clear sign that, in fact, he didn’t want Qrow to do that. “And just what do you think that would accomplish?” he scolded. “You know there’s more than just throwing fists to solve a problem right?”

Like he was one to talk, but it was also a lesson he’d learned the hard way many times over. Although, when it came to that snarky Atlas Academy brat James.. well... maybe it would do him some good. “He’s just trying to get under our skin before the Tournament. Besides, if we get caught out here brawling just because he was running his mouth, Summer will kick our butts clear to Anima.”

In the background, Cadet Ironwood and his smug face grinned at the two of them. He even had the audacity to try and taunt them both... making some stupid remark about how they should just kiss and get it over with. Tai clearly seethed but he kept his composure despite wanting to punch him himself. 

“We’ll get our chance in the Arena... come on Qrow...” He finally settled on, grabbing Qrow by the shoulder of his uniform and trying to drag him away before they both regretted it.

The Major and Sin

@avarice-inclined​ sent:  “The law isn’t perfect, you know. It’s certainly not equal.”

The Major couldn’t help the heavy sigh those words brought up. It wasn’t as if Greed were wrong, Ed knew this little bit of information way more deeply than he would like. He’d seen it so many times over the years and saw it even still. 

“It’s not usually fair either,” he shrugged. “But sometimes we don’t have a choice. Fuck... I was wanted for a long time for somethin’ I didn’t even do so... ya don’t have to remind me Greed, really...”

The irony in all of this was the fact that Ed had gone back to the military that had done just that to him. Thankfully things were better now but still, they weren’t perfect and he didn’t think they ever would be. It was a good thing that the Major still held on to his own beliefs of right and wrong and not what the government said was right or wrong. Sure, he’d follow the rules so long as they made sense... but he also wasn’t above rocking the boat when they didn’t. No matter how old Ed got, some things would still never change.

Harmless fun

“I have no problem explaining my boyfriend is a jerk and I had to climb the bookcase to get my book!” Ed argued, still stretching to try and get it. Straining, really, but he was still refusing to jump for it and was sure that Roy knew that. That kick to the leg was starting to sound better and better by the second. The tips of his fingers grazed the book cover again and Ed was about ready to really start making threats. Or actually withhold anything. He was ready with another argument before he felt Roy kiss him and looked back at the other, still stretched up.

….well that was just cheating. At everything. New plan, he was hitting Roy with the book when he got it back.

Roy knew when it was safe to cheat and when it wasn’t. Or maybe it was more a matter of he knew when it was worth it and when it wasn’t. Right now... WORTH IT. Sure he figured he was still going to earn himself a kick to the shins or a punch in the gut... or maybe even the silent treatment for a day, maybe two depending on just how angry he made Ed but it wasn’t every day that he was presented with an opportunity like this one.

He’d continue to hold the book over Ed’s head, but his other arm would wrap around him and draw him in more. Maybe if he could kiss him breathless, he’d forget about whatever retribution was in mind for this little prank. Roy would linger in it for a few moments more before finally releasing his boyfriend and stepping back, holding the book out to him. Yes, he made sure to step back enough that if there were an attack incoming, he might have a prayer of seeing it coming enough to lessen the blow.

“That wasn’t so bad now was it?”

Didn’t Know That I Was Starving Until I Tasted You...

Sitting a bit more upright Roy reached a hand up to his lips but paused when he heard Havoc laugh it off like it was no big deal. His own cheeks darkening with color. “My face? You scared me half to death!” He played back and he could feel his own cheeks flaring with color and heat even more. But as much as he wanted to get up and find a new sleeping spot Rou remained still leaning back and putting his head up against the wall. “Why did you do it?” He asked keeping his eyes on the sky over them and he knew that Havoc would or at the very least should know exactly what he was talking about.

Taking a long drag of his smoke, Havoc let his eyes trail to the blue sky focusing on a single cloud that floated through it. He knew exactly what Mustang was talking about, he’d be stupid not to know. It actually made his heart rate kick up a notch as he thought it over. The initial right answer was simply he was just playing a joke... but was that even really the right answer? He could have just poked him or something, he didn’t have to kiss him.

“Scarin’ ya half to death... that look on your face... what other reason do ya want?” he offered though he still withheld making eye contact with Roy. Havoc had seen the red of his CO’s cheeks after all and he was fairly certain that Mustang had caught it on his face too. It wasn’t like him to not catch subtle details like that after all. It just begged the question though, why hadn’t he said anything directly to Havoc about it? Maybe that question was more to do with that and not just the obvious wanting a reason outright for kissing him.

“It’s a nice day, I came up here to take a break and saw ya sleepin’ there and saw an opportunity.” Alright, so that was a vague clarification but maybe... considering Roy’s face had flushed, thin as that was to hang a hope on... maybe he wasn’t the only one that had felt things that maybe they shouldn’t.

Maybe... he was just reading way more into it than was really there.
