AN: I own nothing in this story. This is for koalababay so enjoy! Please R&R.
Reno blinked his eyes. A few moments before they had landed at WRO headquarters after completing another successful mission. He had just exited the helicopter and was walking towards the tail end of said vehicle when he was pushed from behind. Which led him to where he was now: on his back with Yuffie's face inches from his own.
"You really need to pay more attention to what's around you Turkey," Yuffie remarked, pointing upward. Reno looked up and saw the rotor blades of the helicopter slowing to a complete stop.
"Thanks for saving my life, you mind getting off me now?" Yuffie nodded and helped him up. Before Reno could leave however, he felt her grab his shoulder.
"What are you going to give me for saving your life?"
"I can't give you any Materia, sorry." Yuffie's shoulders drooped at this. However she perked up when an idea struck her.
"Take me on a date then."
"Alright...how does 8:00 sound?" Yuffie nodded and kissed him on the cheek.
"Can't wait Turkey!" And with that she left. Maybe it wouldn't be that bad, the Turk thought to himself.
One date had turned to five and soon Reno found himself in a relationship with Yuffie. She brought out this side to him that he thought he had lost a long time ago. He was taking a little nap on the couch when his cell phone started ringing.
"Hello..." he answered groggily.
"Hey Reno, I'm coming over, I need to use the shower, it's a matter of life and death."
"Okay..." Reno replied. About half an hour later his front door opened and Yuffie rushed in, clad in nothing but a pink towel. She stopped to give Reno a quick peck on the cheek before going to his bathroom, slamming the door shut. The noise of the shower running soon met his ears and Yuffie gave a sigh of contentment. She then started singing a jingle from a commercial followed by a few of her favorite Beastie Boys songs. Once she was done with this the shower stopped running and Yuffie emerged from the bathroom, steam seemingly wrapped around her.
"Thanks Re, the power went out for my block right as I was taking a shower."
"And that saved your life?" Yuffie nodded and plopped down on his lap, a towel around her hair and body.
"Can't have a smelly girlfriend, right?"
"What about that time you ate those bean burritos?" Reno commented. Yuffie's face turned a bit red then and she stuck her tongue out at him.
"Meanie, bringing up things you should forget about." Reno just laughed and hugged her.
"So what do I get for saving your life?" Reno whispered in her ear.
"Not what you're thinking about, that's for sure," Yuffie replied playfully. Undoing the towel around her head, her hair should have fallen neatly into place. Should have being the key word. Tufts of black were sticking up here and there around her scalp. At that sight Reno really started laughing.
"You should be more supportive instead of laughing at me all the time, Turkey."
"Alright, how's this: move in with me." Yuffie's eyes went wide at that.
"Are you serious?" At Reno's nod, the ninja gave a shriek and pressed forward more urgently sending the both of them off the couch and onto the floor. Reno was now looking up at Yuffie and smiled.
"Deja vu..." Her lips met his then and after breaking apart she had a serious expression on her face, lips drawn into a tight line.
"The first time you leave the toilet seat up, I'm leaving." Reno smirked at her then.
"Oh yeah, well if you leave your moldy towels on the floor I'll kick you out."
"I bet I'll have murdered you before that happens because you decided to cook one night."
"I think we'll get along fine living together, yo." Yuffie only had time to nod before he pressed his lips against hers.
