Qrow Branwen X Reader

Dead End (Alternate End)

A little something for those who like heartbreak.

In town, there was a small pub, Qrow was drinking away, as you entered the pub. You sat down next to Qrow, "You weren't at the house."
"..." Silence.

"Qrow, enough with the silent treatment."

"Couldn't you leave me alone right now?" Before he takes another sip of his liquor, you place your hand over it, preventing him from drinking.
"Qrow, when are you going to listen? This is childish."
"You know what's childish? Keeping those you 'care' about in the dark about the truth."
"Qrow, enough of this."

"No! Do you have any idea how it feels to find out the people you trust the most hiding who they really are?" Qrow shoved you to the side.
"This is me! Nothing about me has changed!" You grabbed his arm, making him turn back facing you.
"It doesn't seem like it. How should I trust you?"
"We've always trusted each other."

"For all I know, you could still be hiding something from me?"
"You think I had a choice to keep it a secret. Ozpin has it a lot worse than any of us!"

"Ozpin this! Ozpin that! You talk about him a lot more why don't you be with him!?"
"Because I love you!"

A few people in the background played close attention, trying to understand the situation.

You shouted at him, "I wanted to tell you, but I didn't want to talk about the death of my son! To remember what that woman did to him! To relive those awful memories, I don't think... I... I can do this anymore." The pub gets quiet, some looking at you with apologetic eyes. "I'll leave you alone. You won't see me anymore; I know when I'm not wanted. Like you said, 'Meeting me was the worse luck of your life, ' Right?"

You place down a few lien cards on the counter, "Take care of the kids; they look up to you." You walk out of the pub, slamming the door behind you. Qrow runs after you; however, you were gone, then a thought popped in his head; what if you were going to Atlas yourself.

On the other side of town, Ajin places you down on the ground after the incident with Qrow, "I'm fine, Qrow's a good man; it's my fault. I got on his nerves." You continued to walk down the street, your eyes began to tear up, "I should have told him in the beginning."

Ajin placed a hand on your back; you wiped your eyes, "I shouldn't be crying; it was my idea to leave." You took a deep breath calming yourself, "Get the Relic." Ajin turns to smoke, looking for Ruby.

"(Y/n)? What are you doing out here?" You turn your attention to Oscar, "Hey Oscar." Oscar walks up to then took notice of the tears running down your face, "W-what happened? Are you okay?" Oscar quickly takes out a white rag wiping your tears.
"Qrow; I got into it with Qrow."
"W-why?"
"About me, he gave me his answer."
"What did he say?"

"I'm going to Atlas."
"What? You can't leave."

"I already sent Ajin to retrieve the relic. I'm going straight to the base. Cordovin said, if I was alone, then she can arrange something for me."
"Let's talk about this."
"There is nothing to talk about. Ozpin isn't here. Therefore I'll do whatever it takes to make sure to keep all of you safe."

"You're keeping us safe? From what?"
"From me."

On the other side of Argus, team RWBY walks along a sidewalk, searching for Oscar, "Where could he ran off to?"
"We'll just have to keep looking."
Ruby felt her belt get lighter, "What?" She then turns around, seeing Ajin was holding the relic, "Saint... said she is sorry." Before Ruby could react, Ajin turned to smoke with the relic, "Oh no!"
Team RWBY tried to figure out where could Ajin have gone, "That was Ajin, (Y/n) must have sent him."
"But why would she need the relic?"
"I don't know, but we need to figure out why."
"Maybe let's head to the house and regroup-" Blake was cut off as she takes notice of Qrow running in the distance, "It's your uncle." Everyone turns to where Blake pointed, "Something is wrong."
