A/N: Sky/Sea/Free Day.

Qrow has the biggest crush on Clover, and his nieces won't stop teasing him about it. Whenever he was caught staring at the soldier, Yang would make kissy noises and Ruby would sing the sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G song. 

"Would you two just please cut it out." Qrow grumbled.

"We'll cut it out once you ask Clover out on a date." Yang said.

"Yeah! Go for it, Uncle Qrow!" Ruby cheered.

"Alright, fine, only to shut you up." Qrow growled annoyed.

He marches to Clover's quarters and knocks on the door. 

"Oh, hi, Qrow. What brings you here?" Clover greeted opening his door.

Whatever Qrow was gonna say completely left his head, cause he was too distracted by the fact that Clover was only wearing a towel...clearly he had just gotten out of the shower. The huntsman couldn't help but stare at Clover's abs...of which the skin was still damp from the shower earlier.

"I...I-I...I, uhh...." Qrow stuttered.

Unable to handle Clover's hotness any longer, Qrow's nose begins to bleed.

"Oh no, Qrow, your nose!" Clover gasped.

Without thinking clearly, Clover grabs the nearest thing to blot Qrow's bloody nose...which was the towel that was around his waist. Clover realized his mistake when he felt a chill on his rear end. Seeing Clover in all his naked glory makes Qrow's face turn bright red...before promptly passing out.

"Gahh! Qrow!? Qrow, are you okay!?" Clover shrieked, freaking out.

Clover quickly retreats into his quarters to put on some underwear, then comes back and picks Qrow up off the floor and carries him to the couch. Next, he cleans off the blood from Qrow's nose.

"Uhg..." Qrow groaned waking up.

"Oh good, you're awake. You scared me there for a second." Clover sighed, sitting next to Qrow.

"What happened back there, with the bloody nose and losing consciousness? Are you okay? Do you need me to take you to the infirmary to get checked out?" he asked concerned.

"No, no, I'm fine. I'm okay." Qrow assured him.

"Are you sure?" Clover asked.

"I'm sure, Cloves. I just...i-it's nothing you need to concern yourself with." Qrow replied.

"What, Qrow? Please tell me." Clover said placing his hand on Qrow's knee.

That action made Qrow's heart jump into his throat.

"I...ummm....well, the reason my nose bled and I passed out was because...I, uh, couldn't handle how hot you were." Qrow said shyly.

"R-really...?" Clover giggled blushing.

 "Yeah...I actually came here to ask you out on a date. I wasn't really expecting to see you naked until at least the third date." Qrow said.

"What makes you think I would've said yes?" Clover chuckled.

"Cause...you like me...don't you? I mean...all that flirting can't have been for nothing, right?" Qrow asked nervously.

Leaning forward, Clover plants a kiss on Qrow's cheek.

"What does that tell you?" Clover whispered into Qrow's ear.

Smiling, Qrow hugs Clover, who hugs back. That Friday, they went out on a date and became boyfriends...and Qrow's nieces stopped teasing him about his crush.

🍀🐦🍀🐦🍀🐦🍀🐦🍀🐦🍀🐦🍀🐦

For a couple days now Qrow hadn't been feeling all that well. He'd been fatigued, feverish, sore, and had a cough. At first him and Clover thought it was a simple cold or flu...but when a blistering rash appeared on his lower back and stomach, they knew it had to be something else.

"What the h*ll is this sh*t?" Qrow groaned.

He was laying on the couch feeling miserable while his boyfriend examined the painful rash.

"Hun, did you ever have the chickenpox as a kid?" Clover asked.

"Yeah. I mean, the tribe didn't exactly have easy access to vaccines. H*ll, Ozpin made Raven and I get the measles and mumps vaccines before we could even start our first semester at Beacon. I think...we were...about ten or eleven when we had the chickenpox together." Qrow explained.

"But what does that have to do with this?" he asked, gesturing to his stomach.

"Well, those who've had the chickenpox are more susceptible to the shingles virus. We should probably take you to a doctor." Clover said.

"But...I thought only old people got that?" Qrow asked confused.

"Weeell...." Clover replied.

"F**k you!" Qrow whined, smacking Clover's arm.

While Clover laughed at his joke, Qrow folds his arms across his chest and pouts. Clover's laughter died down once he saw tears rolling down his  boyfriend's cheeks.

"Honey? What's wrong?" Clover asked concerned.

"You called me old. I'm lying here sick and miserable, and you're making fun of me. What kind of boyfriend does that?!" Qrow cried.

Clover was a bit confused...why was Qrow being so unusually emotional right now. Then he places the back of the hand against Qrow's forehead and got his answer. The huntsman was acting this way because of his fever.

"Qrow, honey, I'm sorry. I didn't intend to hurt your feelings." Clover apologized, hugging Qrow and gently kissing his temple.

"Babe...*cough* *cough*...I feel awful." Qrow whimpered, snuggling into Clover's embrace.

"I know, baby bird, let's take you to the doctor." Clover said, petting his boyfriend's head.

When Qrow stood up, he immediately felt dizzy and almost fell over. Luckily, Clover caught him in his big strong arms. The doctor confirms that Qrow had the shingles virus and would recover within a week with rest and medication. By the time they get back home, Qrow is so tired that he's barely able to stand, so Clover carries him to bed. After tucking him in, Clover gives Qrow his medicine and kisses his forehead.

"Stop that, you'll get sick." Qrow mumbled tiredly.

"Don't worry about that, I'm up to date with my vaccinations. I'll be fine." Clover assured him, climbing into bed with him.

He pulls Qrow into his arms and cuddles him as he sleeps. Clover takes good care of his bird; making sure he's well rested, taking his medicine, and not scratching at his rash. 

BONUS: A comic by me!! LOL, sorry, but I'm bad at art.

Bonus 2: Here's some dialogue stuff I got from dialogue prompts off of Google.

Qrow: *gazing at Clover*

Clover: What?

Qrow: If you could only see how wonderful you look right now.

Clover: And I wish you would just see how beautiful you are.

Tai: *holding back tears* Can one of y'all propose already?

🍀🐦🍀🐦🍀🐦🍀🐦🍀🐦🍀🐦🍀🐦

Clover: Are you okay?

Qrow(with awful eyebags and sipping his 6th coffee at 7am: em great.

🍀🐦🍀🐦🍀🐦🍀🐦🍀🐦🍀🐦🍀🐦

Qrow: Because I can't lose you. For the gods's sake, not you. I lost so many people. But you? No. I don't care what I have to do, I will keep you safe.

Clover: Qrow?

Qrow: Yeah?

Clover: Promise me I won't lose you in the process.

Qrow: *looks longingly at Clover* I'll do my best.

A/N: This was so much fun to do! Words can't describe how much I love this ship. Hope you all had an amazing Fairgame Week 2021. ❤🍀🐦❤.
