[ heh. he grins weakly. rude always knows just what dumb stuff to do to cheer him up. ]
No... I want you to know. I think you're probably the only person who wouldn't give me grief about it. I always—felt like I had something to prove, but you know already. My, uh... value, I guess.
[ he says "value" like it's a load of bullshit, but there isn't really any other way to put it. ]
[Well, Rude has known him for an insanely long period of time, hasn't he?]
You're one of the most dangerous men in the world. Working as a senior member of the intelligence arm of the most powerful company and nation in the world. You've got nothing to prove.
Ah, c'mon. You hear about this shit all the time. Stupid little assholes that came up from nothing and made names for themselves... Shinra's built on that.
[ it's also built on the really fucked up and terrible ways they utilize those stupid little assholes. but y'know. ]
[There are few who truly come up that way, and Reno knows it. At the highest level there aren't many who made it that way. The Turks tend to be an excpetion.]
[Rude laughs, shaking his head. There was nothing that could keep Reno out of trouble. He laughs and pulls Reno down lay with him and hold him tightly.]
[ just sprawling over him, as much as his blanket cocoon/ghost costume will allow for. he's wearing it like a fucking clone cloak, over his head with just his face showing. ]
I, uh. Y'know.
[ nice one. totally nailed it reno. doing the romance thing great. ]
[The best part of the word 'boo'? The point where the 'b' flows into the 'oo'. Because it puckers the lips. And with Reno's eyes covered, Rude can lean in and kiss him. Just kiss him slow and warm. He loves you, Reno, and if you can't say the words, say it with the kiss.]
[ he wanted to say it, he just needs time. it's important that he says certain things, he thinks. Rude's mom knows about him. he knows most of the guy's story by now, and he can piece together the rest without much effort. but he's still pretty much a blank slate, besides giving him a glimpse into his pathetic childhood. they could move past it without it being a <>thing, but he still has more to say. and that—he needs to learn how to say that, too. sometimes silent communication doesn't always cut it.
but for now, it'll have to. he might have needed time to talk, but he doesn't need time to show Rude what he was thinking. he presses close, framing Rude's face with both hands and kisses him back, long and soft. eventually, though, he has to draw back when his jaw starts to quiver. emotionality is really nothing unusual or new for Reno, it's just that he's never shown it like this. ]
[Damn. That... When Reno pulls back Rude is left absolutely breathless, his lips slightly parted as he tries to breathe and process. That... was a good kiss.]
[ he says, while taking a moment to get himself under control. no crying. he doesn't cry, but it's a close call. and then, after a second, he realizes what he just said and shakes his head. way to ruin the moment, idiot! ]
In my head, I mean. I, uh... wow, that doesn't sound any better. Never mind, glad you liked it.

NOT GONNA LIE, I'VE THOUGHT ABOUT IT A LOT

[ and then... after a pause. ]
I didn't tell you how I did it.
Sassy-Shinra, to go with Shooty-Shinra, Sabotauge-Shinra, and ex-Solder-Shinra
Date: 2020-04-30 05:23 pm (UTC)[Others would batter at the world and try and claw their ways up and never be able to be Reno.]
You don't need to.
