Ozpin Single Dad AU
Good Uncle Qrow
Looking at all the old posts about Oz single dad au from @lieu-rey , @maripr and @calvinklein2501 (sorry if any missed) the whole cloqwork family fluff stories and artwork is just something of a story I thought of. My first time writing so... sorry if its bad. Should I write more???
Ozpin single dad of Oscar
Does anyone else think about it that Oscar would walk away to look at something; like say in a mall. Ozpin turns around and dead rights panic in search of Oscar.
As Oscar wanders into a toys store, he goes noticed by Yang as a dragged Ruby is behind her. Both girls carry stuffed animals in their arms, chatting excitedly until Yang stops to exchange a concerned look towards her sister.
Feeling humiliated, Oscar slants back against a toy shelf that holds action figures. He glances away from the girls, he head slightly perked up as more heavy foot steps coming this way.
Qrow has taken the offer of babysitting his nieces to the mall. As he tries to keep up with the girls as they dart around every corner giggling after each other. Qrow stops and headed to where they disappeared, growing slightly concerned that he didn’t hear them laughing anymore.
Ruby noticed Qrow appear behind a shelf as he looked at her, his face relaxed to see them okay. At least until Ruby and Yang looked at him sadly, slowly waving arms to come here.
Confused, Qrow noticed the boy as he walked closer. Oscar saw the girls mention to the man, feeling slightly awkward, he clings to the side of is arm grabbing the sleeve of his shirt Ozpin got for his birthday.
Qrow knelt down infront of Oscar, not too close to scare him, but once the boy looked up at him Qrow felt his heart break as watery hazel eyes looked back at him.
Qrow gave the small boy a heartwarming smile and slowly extended his hand out towards the boy. Oscar looked to the hand and back up to him.
“Well? Do you wanna get something, pipsqueak?”
Ruby and Yang placed their hands on Qrows shoulders to pull themselves up to smile down on Oscar over Qrows shoulder. Oscar quickly glanced away, back to the hand, he slowly placed his hand on the man’s.
“Whatcha name, kiddo?”
“..Oscar...”
“Hmf Qrow”
Ruby jumped away from Qrows shoulders excitedly pointing at herself.
“I’m Ruby!”
“Yang” *finger guns*
Qrow stood back up holding Oscar hand guiding him around towards the stuffed animals his nieces were just at. Ruby runs, pointing out all kinds of little creatures while dropping her own bundle of toys.
Oscar’s eye catches a white barn owl laying under the tigers. He looks back up to Qrow giving his hand a small squeeze. Qrow looks up towards Oscar’s mention to the animal.
With stuffed animals paid for, two nieces in check along with a little friend, Qrow starts herding them out. Qrow slightly yells caution to Ruby and Yang to stay close as they run apart in the busy mall.
The two slowed to Qrows side and Oscar who didn’t leave his side. Qrow stopped to keel on one knee to look at Oscar who hugged his owl into his chest. Qrows playful expression quickly got Oscar’s attention.
“Say pipsqueak, wanna hop onto my shoulders? You can try to find your dad.”
“...okay.”
Oscar’s eyes lit up as Qrow turned around, sticking his hands just below his back for Oscar to get up. Yang walked behind Oscar and grabbed under his shoulders to help him up. Ruby made sure he still had his plush on his way up.

Ozpin drew is arm across his forehead, his hand on the cane slowly tightening and relax just to squeeze again in anxiety. Ozpin’s stomach tied in knots as he thought of the worst possible things that could happened to Oscar. Ozpin’s gaze drew throughout the crowd as his heart stopped. His Oscar on top of a man’s shoulders with crimson eyes, black messy slick back hair with gray streaks running through, a grayed out suit with black pants and two girls skipping around him. Oscar was holding a white owl that rested on the mans head, Oscar slightly giggled along with the man as he made the wings flap.
Oscar tried to see one person in familiarity but none has come up. Oscar’s head snapped around to the voice he desperately wanted to hear.
“OSCAR!”
“DADDY!”
Qrow quickly knelt down as the boy was squirming to get down. Oscar almost fell backwards if the girls didn’t host him up right.
Qrow watched as Oscar bolted to the man in a green suit, white hair and tinted glasses. Ozpin dropped his cane and slid into his knees, ignoring the ache in his knee, as Oscar jumped with arms fully extended around his father’s neck. Ozpin held on like the world depended on it, breathing out a sign of relief.
In the moment Ozpin’s head looked up towards the “awww” of the girls. He looked farther up to the man with crimson eyes. Qrow gave the man a reassuring smile. Ozpin opened his mouth to respond but cut off as Qrow held up is hand.
“I was basically floored by my nieces to buy them toys, couldn’t just leave him out can we?”
Ozpin pulled away slightly to look at Oscar then struggled yet elegantly get up with the help of his cane placing his hand on Oscar’s shoulder. Oscar cuddled his owl under his chin at the touch. Oz looked back at the back at the man extending a hand to him.
“Thank you, so so much. Oh my, I’m sorry- my name is Ozpin.”
“Heh, Qrow.”
Qrow shook hands, he could basically smell the coffee sent coming off Ozpin. Which gave him the idea.
“Seeing that your dressed like that why not go out for a coffee?”
Ozpin stared. Then chuckled-
“Well I suppose so. I’d love to if it can anyway to pay you back for this.”
