Reno stood in the wings of the stage, watching Rufus give his first speech since becoming president of the Shinra Electric Power Company. Technically he was off-duty, but he still liked to be close to Rufus. Maybe he was just being protective, or maybe he was drawn by some sort of attraction to the man; he wasn’t sure and he didn’t really care to know. Normally, he’d be bored out of his mind at an event like this, pacing, just itching for some bastard to try and pull something just to give him a little bit of excitement. But today he was calm, content just to watch Rufus speak; though his mind was miles away from what was being said.

It was the little things that were occupying Reno’s mind; the transition from the calm, controlled Rufus he was looking at now, to the bed mate he’d known for the past few years always amazed him. The slight blush that would grace his cheeks when he stood fully nude before him. The deeper blush that coloured his cheeks when he would take Reno’s erection into his mouth. The way he would moan, softly, almost shyly as he was impaled on the red-haired man’s shaft.

Though his mind was elsewhere, Reno wasn’t so lost in thought that he didn’t notice the other Turk approaching him from behind. “You’re here too, Tseng?” he said, his tone slow and lazy.

“Normally you’re ready to fire your gun at anybody who even looks at you the wrong way by now. What’s different this time?” the dark-haired man asked.

“I’m off duty,” he replied easily, lighting up a cigarette as he waited for a response from the other Turk.

“I’m aware of that. I’m the one who makes your schedules, remember?” Tseng stepped closer as he spoke.

“Is that so? I don’t think I ever bothered to check who they came from,” came the reply, mixed with clove-scented smoke. “So what did you really come over here for, not idle chit-chat, right?”

“Attraction can be a dangerous thing, I suggest you keep yours in check.” The dark-haired man warned softly.

“I’ll keep that in mind.” Reno said, taking another drag on his cigarette. “Is that all?”

“Yes. That’s all for now.” Tseng replied, stepping back into the shadows he’d come from.

In the end, it was the little things that Reno loved, and the bigger things; the risks, the possible heartbreak, the unsettling feelings Tseng had stirred up, were the ones that got pushed aside and ignored.
