�� The annoying beeping of the alarm clock blared into the
once peaceful quiet that was sleep, causing the redhead to grumble a few
profanities before he was blindly seeking out the object. With a few misses he
was finally able to hit the off button allowing the room to fall back into
silence once again.
�� Blearily opening his eyes he let out a sigh as his eyes
focused on the harsh red numbers that were glaring back at him.
�� Six thirty two a.m. it now read. It was a time that Reno deemed should still
be �sleep time.� And even though this was his daily routine, he never got used
to it. What could he say, he just wasn�t a morning person.
�� Letting his eyes fall shut again he shifted around in the
bed, turning his head in the opposite direction. He felt something soft brush
against his face and he instantly opened his eyes again. And there right in
front of him he was met with a full view of spiky blond hair. Most of the
spikes were poking him in the face and he propped himself up a bit to get a
better look. Somehow Cloud had moved mostly to his side of the bed. In fact his
head was on Reno�s
pillow.
�� What the fuck?� Reno
grumbled to himself while running a hand through messy crimson hair. There was
all that room on the other side of the bed and yet Cloud decided he wanted to
hog Reno�s
space.
�� However�it was sort of cute. Reno couldn�t help but to admit it. Cloud was
never cuddly, at least he had never been with him. So to wake up with Cloud so
close to him this morning was sort of a nice change of pace, and Reno didn�t mind it. So
leaning back against the bed he adjusted himself so that Cloud�s hair wasn�t
smothering him, but he didn�t attempt to move the blond. He had to get up
anyways, but he could stay like this for a few more minutes. Nothing wrong with
that.
�� Gently letting his fingers glide through the soft spikes
the Turk gave the slightest hint of a smile as Cloud stirred a bit. He found it
amusing how Cloud could always sleep through that loud beeping of the alarm,
and yet the smallest touch could easily wake him. But he was still asleep for
the moment and Reno
didn�t want to wake him. He liked it when Cloud would stay there still sleeping
when he left out to work. He couldn�t explain it but he didn�t like when Cloud
was at Seventh Heaven�even if technically that was his home. No, any
time that Cloud could be at Reno�s
place the Turk was glad for. Away from Tifa mainly�who was he kidding, he knew
that was the reason.
�� Letting out a sigh he carefully sat up, moving to slide
out of the bed and head to the shower. But before he could completely get out
of bed an arm shot out and grabbed him around his waist.
�� Where are you going?� Cloud mumbled sleepily.
�� Casting a look over his shoulder Reno raised an eyebrow. Cloud still appeared
to be asleep, he must�ve just moved when he felt the weight of the bed shift.
�� Stay,� he breathed out while pulling closer and
tightening his grip around the Turk�s torso. �A little� longer, Zack.�
�� And there it was. That name.
�� Reno
felt his whole body tense when Cloud whispered that name. That explained why
Cloud had gravitated towards him during the night. He must�ve been dreaming
about�him.
�� Snatching the others arm from around his waist he quickly
pushed away from him and got up from the bed. That rough motion quickly made
Cloud alert and his eyes snapped open before he sat up slightly.
�� Ah,� Reno
began with a frown while letting green eyes fall onto Cloud, �you�re awake now.�
�� Cloud stared back silently for a moment before dropping
his gaze. For a moment he seemed to have a bit of a hopeful look in his eyes.
And then when they fixed themselves on the Turk, it was like the light in them
died out. When the blond woke from his dream and saw that he was in the harsh
reality, without Zack.
�� Reno
noticed it. The look in Cloud�s eyes. But he wasn�t sympathetic towards him.
Not at all. No, he was angry.
�� Without another word he made his way out of the room and
into the bathroom where he started up the shower.
�� Stupid Cloud. Why was he always fucking up his moods? He
had woken up today and was actually getting off to a nice start. And why? All
because blondie was a little close to him. What the hell, he seriously couldn�t
help but think he was turning into a chick.
�� Letting out a bit of a growl he stepped into the shower
that was probably a bit more hot than he usually would�ve had it. But he was so
upset that he didn�t notice it.
�� Was he being childish? And why the hell did it bother him
so much?
�� True at the beginning when he and Cloud had started
whatever the hell it was they had between them, he didn�t mind being a
substitute. And he knew when Cloud was thinking about Zack, he could see it in
his eyes. But now�no. He didn�t want that anymore. And it pissed him off more
than anything when Cloud would space out when they were together, because he knew
that�s when Cloud was thinking of Zack. And before he didn�t care, he didn�t
give a damn that first time when they slept together and Cloud called him by
the name of his dead lover. But fuck! Now!? Still!?
�� He stepped up further into the shower letting the hot
water fall against his face as he closed his eyes. Damn it. It hardly seemed
fair. Why the hell was he freaking out about stuff like this? Why were his
feelings changing? Growing into�.something else, and Cloud still remained
exactly the same as when they first hooked up?
�� Although�having Cloud this way was better than not having
him at all. So he couldn�t make big deals about things like this. At least not
in front of Cloud. Besides, Cloud was unaware of it. He didn�t realize that Reno knew what was
running through his mind when he would go off into his little worlds. And this
morning, well, Cloud was more so talking out of sleep. He didn�t know.
�� Stepping out of the shower Reno stared in the mirror
briefly before giving a bit of a scoff at how worked up he was getting. So
after drying himself off he wrapped the towel around his waist and made his way
back to the bedroom.
�� Cool it. No sense in getting angry, you should be
used to this already,� he repeated to himself in his head. He had just
pushed the bedroom door open and stepped inside when his eyes fell onto the
messy bed. The bed where Cloud was when he left to take his shower, but now it
seemed to be unoccupied.
�� Did Cloud leave that fast? His disappearing act� pissed the hell out of Reno because he never knew when he would pop
up again.
�� Gritting his teeth he made his way over to the closet
where he began rifling through his clothes for his usual Turk attire. He had
just snatched his white shirt from off the hanger when a soft creak of the door
caught his attention.
�� Shifting his gaze towards the doorway he was surprised to
see Cloud standing there. Blonde spikes still a mess and his eyes still looking
a bit tired as he rubbed the back of his neck briefly.
�� You�re out of coffee,� he mumbled while turning blue
eyes to look into green.
�� Reno
was silent for a moment, still partially in shock that Cloud was in fact still
there.
�� Fuck, don�t tell me that yo,� Reno replied with a sigh. Coffee was his life
essence. If he didn�t have a cup of that in the morning before going to work
then he didn�t function right.
�� Cloud simply shrugged before moving over towards the bed
and taking a seat on the edge.
�� Maybe it�s there but it�s hidden,� Reno continued while slipping on his shirt.
�� Could be. It�s messy in there so I didn�t look for long,�
Cloud answered with a small yawn.
�� Reno
simply rolled his eyes as he continued to get dressed. Sure yeah his place wasn�t
the �most neat�, but he swore Cloud was a damn tyrant when it came to things
being organized. He always had something to say about Reno�s messy apartment�.and to the Turk it
wasn�t really all that bad.
�� You still look tired, why don�t you go back to bed,� Reno suggested while
glancing at the blond and noticing how drowsy he still seemed to be. He felt a
little guilty�but just a little for waking him up earlier.
�� I�m fine,� Cloud replied while reaching over for his
phone that was set on the nightstand, � I need to go anyways.�
�� Oh,� Reno
simply replied while slipping on his last article of clothing. He didn�t bother
to ask Cloud why he was leaving, he just assumed that he wanted to get back to
Tifa before she started nagging. And from the way Cloud was looking through his
cell Reno was
sure she had sent him messages.
�� He exited out of the room and made his way into the
kitchen where he ripped open the cabinet doors and let his eyes scan the
contents of the area. And sure enough, though pushed way in back was the coffee.
He let out a bit of a sigh of relief. Finally one good thing this morning.
�� He had just started to fix the coffee when his phone
rang. Pulling it out of his coat he flipped it open to answer it.
�� Be there in ten, don�t make me wait,� Rude�s voice sounded
on the other end of the line.
�� Yeah Yeah I�ll be ready partner,� Reno replied with a smirk before Rude hung up
on his end. Placing the phone back in his pocket the Turk began to hurry with
the coffee. Rude hated when Reno
was running late for a few reasons. One because he would have to sit around and
wait for him to finish getting ready. And two because Rufus would lecture them
for tardiness as well as Tseng. Although Tseng knew that Reno was always the cause of being late�and
it tended to happen often.
�� Pouring himself a cup of the hot liquid Reno quickly took a sip before pulling it
away abruptly when it scorched his tongue.
�� Shit,� he cursed while setting down the mug.
�� So you found it,� Cloud spoke as he entered into the
living room.
�� Glancing up Reno
gave a small nod to the blonde who had already changed back into his clothes
and was currently adjusting his gloves.
�� Pulling out another mug Reno silently poured the coffee into it
before setting it on the counter and pushing it forward a bit.
�� Crossing over to the kitchen Cloud picked up the drink
and took a sip as Reno
did the same, this time being more careful so as not to be burned.
��

�� Walking up the steps of Seventh Heaven Reno frowned at
the sign in the window.
�� Closed.
�� Why the hell for?� Reno
asked to himself while taking a glance at his watch, it was still early yet for
a bar to be closed. Shrugging it off Reno
lifted his hand and knocked a few times. He noticed Cloud�s Fenrir parked
beside the bar before he even went up the steps so he was pretty sure he was
around. After all Cloud never parted from his beloved bike.
�� At first there was only silence before rapid footsteps
were heard and then a small voice that sounded like it said �come in� or �coming.�
But he was sure it was the latter when he heard a few clicks on the other side
of the door and then saw the doorknob turn before it was pulled open.
�� Hi!� The little girl on the other side beamed when she
caught sight of the Turk.
�� Hey munchkin,� Reno
replied with a smirk while looking down to the little brunette.
�� My name isn�t munchkin Reno! It�s Marlene!� The little girl
corrected with a pout.
�� Right right kid,� Reno
continued with a brief nod before ruffling her hair. He knew her name but didn�t
ever really bother to call her by it. He always referred to her and that boy as
�the kids� or �runts� or in this case �munchkin.�
�� Marlene, what are you doing?�
�� At the sound of that voice Reno looked up to see Cloud approaching the
doorway with a slight frown on his face. However, he did seem to always usually
sport a frown of some sort.
�� Answering the door, it�s the Turk,� Marlene replied
while looking up to Cloud who was now standing behind her.
�� You�re not supposed to answer the door, especially at
night,� Cloud spoke while gently pulling her away from the door.
�� But Tifa is in the shower and you were in your room,�
the girl continued to explain.
�� It doesn�t matter,� Cloud replied before turning his
focus to Reno, �what
are you doing here?�
�� Well the plan was for a few drinks but I guess that�s
out of the question,� Reno
replied while pointing to the closed sign.
�� Tifa�s a little sick so she decided to close up tonight,�
Cloud explained before glancing back down to Marlene who was gazing back up at
the two and listening. �Go on upstairs Marlene.�
�� What, why?� The little girl whined.
�� It�s late, you should be in bed already,� Cloud
continued as the girl gave a bit of a pout but listened anyways and scurried
off towards the stairs.
�� Once he heard the door upstairs close Cloud turned his
focus back towards the Turk. �Why didn�t you call?�
�� Eh,� Reno
began with a shrug, �it was a sort of last minute decision to come here. I was
passing by and saw your bike.�
�� You know I don�t like surprise visits,� Cloud replied
while narrowing his eyes slightly.
�� Fuck yo I�ve had a crappy day,� Reno began with a sigh, �I just wanted a
drink and didn�t feel like going home right away.�
�� And I just thought it would be nice to see you, damn.
�� Hesitating briefly Cloud finally pulled open the door all
the way and stepped aside so that the other could enter.
�� See, now was that so hard?� Reno began sarcastically while strolling
inside the bar.
�� Don�t make me regret it,� Cloud responded while closing
the door, �and don�t be loud Denzel and Marlene are in bed and Tifa doesn�t
feel well.�
�� With a bit of a snort Reno hopped up onto one of the bar stools, �For
Shiva�s sake Strife I�m not some loud ass tyrant.�
�� Not bothering with a response Cloud went behind the bar
counter and pulled out a glass before setting it in front of Reno.
�� What happened?� Cloud asked before pulling out a bottle
from behind the counter and filling up the glass with the clear liquid.
�� What do you mean?� Reno
asked slightly confused for a moment before he took a sip of his drink.
�� You�re crappy day,� Cloud added while deciding to also
have a drink as he pulled out a glass for himself.
�� Oh�yeah,� Reno
began with a sigh while placing his elbows on the counter, �I got suspended.�
�� Raising an eyebrow the blond gave the other an odd look. �Suspended?
From what?�
�� From work,� Reno
replied while picking up his glass again.
�� They can do that?� Cloud asked while setting down the
bottle.
�� Yeah, it aint the first time yo,� Reno answered with a� bit of a chuckle. �Though they don�t really
say �suspend� instead it�s �personal days off.� But it�s the same fucking
thing.��
�� Should I even bother to ask why?� Cloud asked while
taking a drink.
�� No,� Reno
replied quickly, �just know that Tseng is an ass.�
�� Cloud gave the other a suspicious look before Reno continued on.
�� But you know what I don�t care. I could use some
vacation time I guess. I�m not going to argue about being able to sleep in yo,�
he explained as a smile spread across his face.
�� Well there�s your silver lining,� Cloud replied while
setting down his now empty glass.
�� That and,� Reno
began while downing the last of his drink, �I�m sure you and I could think up something
to occupy my free time.�
�� Pausing briefly Cloud narrowed his eyes for a moment at
the other. �Oh?�
�� Allowing his grin to widen Reno nodded, �yeah, I can think up a few
things already,� he finished while letting his hand reach out to stroke the
side of the others face. Cloud remained unmoving, his eyes still fixated on the
redhead. He let out a soft sigh before inclining his head a bit.
�� Come here,� he spoke, his voice quiet but yet demanding.
All the time still keeping the eye contact going.
�� Reno�s
heart beat sped up as he stared into Cloud�s blue eyes. He leaned forward
across the counter, eagerly wanting to feel the others lips against his own. He
could feel the warm breath against his face as Cloud leaned in slightly,
turning his head a bit so that now Reno
could feel his breath against his ear.
�� I�m not here to entertain you,� Cloud spoke into his ear
before pulling back quickly.
�� What?� Reno
asked in surprise, already missing the feel of the blonde�s warm breath against
his skin. He was sure that he would get a kiss! A nip on his ear or neck, but
what the hell!?
�� You�ll have to find something else to keep you occupied,�
Cloud continued while putting their empty glasses in the sink, �I�m not going
to be here for awhile.�
�� Not going to be there for a while? Reno frowned when he heard those words fall
from the others lips. �What are you talking about?�
�� A delivery. One that�s far away,� Cloud replied.
�� For how long?� Reno
couldn�t help but to ask.
�� Cloud simply shrugged as he put away the bottle of
alcohol, �it all depends on the weather. But with this rain it may slow me down
a bit.�
�� Damn! Reno
hadn�t seen Cloud in two weeks and as soon as he resurfaced he was leaving
again? What was with this!? And there was no telling how long he would be gone
for this time. Meanwhile the Turk was going to be on suspension, with all this
free time and�
�� Well then�I�ll go to,� Reno said. It wasn�t a question but rather a
statement.
�� Excuse me?� Cloud asked while stepping out from around
the counter.
�� Yeah!� Reno
perked up while sliding off of the bar stool, �I mean it�s not like I�m going
to have much to do here anyways. May as well tag along and keep ya company yo.�
�� I don�t need any company,� Cloud quickly spoke while
glaring at the other.
�� Reno
frowned. Damn Cloud could be a real kill joy sometimes. And yet the Turk wanted
to be around him. He often wondered if there was something wrong with him for
that.
�� Come on Strife. If not for anything else to save me from
boredom. And you have to admit traveling like that can be dangerous. Always
better to have a little backup right?�
�� I can take care of myself,� was Cloud�s quick reply.
�� Fuck I�m not saying that you can�t!� Reno snapped back, �But I�m just saying, two
is better than fucking one! And hell I could stand to get out from Midgar for a
bit. Come on,� Reno
continued while hopping off the bar stool to approach Cloud, �I�ll be good I
promise.�
�� Leaning with his back against the counter Cloud crossed
his arms across his chest as he kept his eyes firmly placed on Reno. He didn�t say anything for a long while
and Reno was
starting to think that maybe Cloud was truly pissed and had gone into his
silent mode again. But then Cloud was letting out a sigh and shifting his gaze
to the side briefly before looking back to the one before him.
�� I�m on a schedule so you can�t do anything to knock me
off track,� Cloud began.
�� I won�t,� Reno
replied while stepping up right in front of the blond.
�� And no annoying me,� Cloud continued seriously.
�� I said I�ll be good,� Reno spoke with a roll of his eyes before
letting a small smirk appear on his face. �So I can go then?�
�� Pausing only briefly this time Cloud gave a nod and Reno�s smirk turned into
a grin.
�� Finally a vacation for me!� Reno exclaimed and Cloud instantly narrowed
his gaze at him.
�� It�s not vacation Reno,
it�s work for me. So don�t-�
�� I know I know. Geez,� Reno started with a sigh before leaning in
and placing a small kiss against Cloud�s lips. �Thanks�
�� Whatever,� Cloud mumbled while looking back into green
eyes. Reno had
only pulled away about an inch and was lingering nearby Cloud�s lips. He wanted
to lean in and kiss him again, but he wanted to give Cloud the opportunity to
meet him halfway.
�� Almost as if reading Reno�s mind Cloud finally closed the small
gap between them and pressed his lips against the Turks. Reno placed his hands on either side of Cloud
on the counter as he leaned in more, pressing more into the kiss before letting
his tongue swipe at the other�s mouth. It was with that that Cloud uncrossed
his arms and hooked them around Reno�s
thin waist before pulling him closer towards him.
�� Reno
couldn�t help but to let a moan escape from him. It felt so good to be pushed
so closely together, to feel their body heat radiating off one another and
feeling the firm body beneath his. Their tongues tangled in a battle of dominance
before Cloud let out a breathy sigh and gave in, letting Reno have his way.
�� The Turk gave a sound of protest when after a while Cloud
broke the kiss quickly. Reno
only redirected himself and instead leaned back in to gently nip at the others
ear before making his way towards his neck. But a strong hand against his chest
stopped him and he pulled back.
�� You need to go, it�s late,� Cloud replied quietly while
glancing over at the clock that was mounted on the wall behind the bar. �And I�m
leaving early so if you�re coming with me you need to be here by seven
otherwise I�m leaving without you.�
�� Scrunching his nose a bit Reno was going to comment on how bitchy Cloud
could be before he realized just what the other had said really.
�� Wait�tomorrow? You�re heading out tomorrow?� Reno questioned.
�� Yes, tomorrow,� Cloud replied while pushing Reno away a bit more.
�� Oh,� Reno
began with a nod.
�� Still sure that you want to go?� Cloud asked with a look
of amusement on his face.
�� Yeah!� Reno
replied while frowning slightly at Cloud. He was a Turk damn it! He got up
early all the time and went off to places with little notice all the time. He
could surely go on some little delivery with Cloud.
�� Fine,� Cloud replied while walking towards the door
preparing to show the other out.
�� Well,� Reno
started as his smirk reappeared on his face, �if we�re heading out so early
then why don�t I just stay here tonight yo? It�ll save on time.�
�� Reno
almost became hopeful when Cloud seemed to hesitate at the door, but then he
was shaking his head and placing his hand on the doorknob.
�� You need to get ready. Pack you stuff,� he explained
while motioning for Reno
to hurry up.
�� Deciding not to push it anymore Reno made his way out of the door. Besides
Cloud had a point, he needed to pack some stuff.
�� Fine, fine,� Reno
replied while turning and giving Cloud one last quick grin, �I�ll see you
bright and early then.�
�� If you�re one
minute late I�m leaving,� Cloud stated once more while giving Reno a warning look before he was closing the
door.
�� A low growl escaped from Reno�s throat as he looked at the shut door
before him. But even through that he couldn�t help but to let out a small
smirk. He was going to be with Cloud soon enough and that somehow put him in a
good mood.
