Keeping It Quiet

"So…you're married?" Taiyang set his fork down as he scrunched up his face in thought. He folded his arms, "How the hell did that happen?"

Qrow shrugged, stabbed at the pancakes on his plate, "Mostly? Tequila." He took a bite. "Also, blackjack." Taiyang blanched at Qrow talking with his mouth open.

"You do realize what you've done right?" Taiyang sighed, rested his arms on the table. His food was vastly unappetizing with reality crashing down around him. "You've married the second most powerful woman in Remnant… the same day as your niece married her sister, the MOST powerful woman in Remnant!"

Qrow blinked, mouth full of pancakes. He swallowed quickly, "Keep your voice down, the wife'll kill me she knows I told you."

"You have no idea what you've done…" Taiyang shoved his plate to the side so he could rest his head on the table. Fingers lacing through his hair as he tried to combat a headache.

"I mean, she's the one who won." Qrow said as he leaned back in his booth, puckered his face, "Branwen's don't back down from a bet, Tai."

Taiyang rolled his eyes, "I'm aware. Your sister only married me because I beat her in an arm wrestling match, remember?" Qrow snorted, nodded. "But Winter is a Schnee, not a Branwen. It's different."

"I gu -"

"Wait!" Taiyang held up his hand, eyes narrowed, "Did you just say SHE won the bet?" Qrow nodded. Taiyang immediately started laughing. Qrow waited. "Branwen's only marry when they lose obviously!"

Qrow rolled his eyes, "I don't know, we'll have to wait to see how Yang's proposal goes I guess." Taiyang smiled, face going all goofy at the thought of his girls both happy and married and…

"Why don't you just get it annulled?" Taiyang tilted his head, forehead creased. "If you were both drunk, you obviously weren't of sane mind, should be easy?"

Qrow chuckled, "That would entail the Ice Queen admitting she was 1) drunk." Qrow began ticking off his fingers. "2) wrong, and 3) married to me."

Taiyang raised a brow, "So I guess you're married then." He pulled his plate back towards him, "Now what?"

"No idea." Qrow stabbed at his plate again, "I was sort of hoping you had a plan."

Taiyang snorted, "My marriage didn't even make it to its first anniversary." He pointed his fork at Qrow, "And Summer refused to marry, so that doesn't count." Qrow snickered.

"Guess the first move is up to the Ice Queen."

-.-.-

"You did what?!" Weiss's shrill yell was enough to wake the dead, but Ruby slept on in the room next door. Winter held a hand to her face. While Ruby didn't react, there was a non-zero chance the rest of the floor wasn't listening. "How do you accidentally marry some…some drunk?!"

Great. So much for keeping this quiet…
