A/N: Prequel to "Calling In Sick".
Elm, Vine, Hariet, and Marrow were texting, discussing their leader's recent behavior regarding the huntsman who recently showed up in Atlas.
🐰Hariet: I've never seen Clover like this. So cheesy and...flirty.
Vine: He must really like this Qrow guy.
🐺Marrow: But isn't Qrow a little...old? For him?
🌲Elm: Nah, they're both adults. Age doesn't matter all that much. Besides there's only like a ten or twelve year difference.
🐰Hariet: So...are they dating or what? They blatantly and openly flirt with each other constantly. Not to mention, they're pretty much undressing each other with their eyes, like, all the time.
🌲Elm: No, they aren't. But, Clover has told me that he has a huge crush on Qrow.
🐺Marrow: And I've overheard Qrow talking with his niece, Ruby, about how he has feelings for Clover.
Vine: Let me guess, each also has been heard saying that they are uncertain of the other's feelings?
🌲Elm: 👍
🐺Marrow: 👍
🐰Hariet: Well, how are they gonna get together if neither are gonna buck up and make a move?
Vine: I'm sure one of them will eventually.
🌲Elm: Yeah, soon, Qrow would definitely make the first move.
🐺Marrow: Qrow?? Don't you mean Clover would make the first move?
🌲Elm: Umm, no, I mean Qrow.
🐰Hariet: Wait, Elm, do you seriously think Qrow would make the first move? Clover is the one with the most confidence.
🌲Elm: Yeah, but Clover is also sucks at being direct. He would do it so subtlely that Qrow wouldn't know he was even being asked out.
🐺Marrow: But Qrow would never gather the guts to ask out Clover, either. So it would be Clover not Qrow who makes the first move.
🌲Elm: Wanna make a bet? I got 60 lien that says Qrow will ask first.
🐰Hariet: Oh it's on, but Clover is going to ask first.
🐺Marrow: I agree with Hariet.
🌲Elm: Okay, so one vote for Qrow and two for Clover. Vine, what do you think?
Vine: Well, based off their personalities and the way they interact. I believe that our leader would be the first to ask.
🌲Elm: You're a traitor, Vine, you betrayed me.😣
On the day of the meeting...
🍀Clover: Sorry, guys, I can't come to the meeting. I'm really not feeling well.😷😖
.......
🌲Elm: Guys, Qrow and Clover are alone together. It's a matter of time before one of them breaks.
🐺Marrow: Is Clover actually sick?
🌲Elm: Yep. And Qrow is taking care of him.
🐰Hariet: Be prepared to lose your money, Elm. Hahaha😈💰
🌲Elm: Don't celebrate just yet, we don't know what happened yet.
A couple days later(while Qrow is under the weather)....
🌲Elm: Did you guys talk to Clover recently? 😏 😏 😏
🐺Marrow: ...yeah. 😒
🐰Hariet: Yep.😤
Vine: Yes.
🌲Elm: Mwhahahaha! PAY UP SUCKAHS!! 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸💸😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🍀Clover: Ummm....guys? Did you make a bet about me and Qrow??
🌲Elm: No.😌
🐺Marrow: Nope.😓
🐰Hariet: No way, dude.😅
Vine: Yes.
🌲Elm: VINE!!!😡
🐺Marrow: SELLOUT!!!😡
🐰Hariet: TRAITOR!!!😡
🍀Clover: You guys are ridiculous. 😆
From there, the Ace Ops didn't make anymore bets regarding Clover and Qrow. One: because Clover asked them not to. Two: because Elm cheats.
