-Delivery guy is soooooo late, it’s been half an hour . Qrow’s finger hovered over the send key before thinking, fuck it , and pushing it. A short ding announced the reply from his brother-in-law, Taiyang.
- dude it’s not that long
- ITS FOREVER WHEN YOU’RE WAITING FOR SOUP TAI
- wait you paid for it online right??? Qrow furrowed his brow.
-Uh no...why
-dude you left ur wallet at my place last night
“Fuck!” Qrow swore out loud, the previous night coming back to him. He’d been visiting Taiyang and the kids and it was pretty late by the time he’d left so that’s why he must’ve forgotten to check for his wallet.

“Hey, it’s $21.77.” The other man replied cheerfully. Qrow was trouble forming words as he looked into the bright, teal eyes staring back at him. Having difficulty maintaining eye contact, Qrow dropped his gaze to the shiny metal of the other man's nametag: Clover Ebi.

“Just to be clear, you don’t have any money?”
“No, sir.” Qrow looked up into the intense stare.
“Then why the fuck did you order like thirty dollars worth of soup?” Clover huffed and walked away muttering something that sounded like, “Fourth guy this week…”
