Reno crawled into bed after an exhausting day.
He was on mission and that tested even his incredible endurance to the limits and he was coming down from an adrenaline high and feeling slightly lonely and horny as result. So, he took out his PHS and texted or sexted Scarlet, or thought he did.
In fact, he accidently texted Tifa, someone who was blind when it came to flirtation and had never sexted before.
"Hey Gorgeous" he texted to her.
Tifa was enjoying a cup of tea after closing the bar and was getting ready to turn in for the night. She wondered who was texting her that time of night and pondered the weird message from Reno that was there but didn't think anything of it, he was normally given to calling women by pet names in her experience.
"Hey yourself" she finally texted back.
"Do you miss me?" he texted to his lover.
That gave Tifa pause, as she didn't even know he was missing and certainly didn't know his schedule. "How's the weather where you are?" she texted back to be polite.
"Hot as you" he answered back.
"Thank you" Tifa texted.
"I'm in bed wearing only a smile" he texted invitingly.
"You know that you have to replace or wash sheets more often if you sleep naked" Tifa cautioned him.
He frowned at this "I'll let the hotel staff worry about that. What are you wearing?" he ventured.
Tifa looked down at herself and wondered why he wanted to know, but politely texted back. "I have on my pair of bunny slippers and a floral flannel nightgown."
Reno's eyes widened in disbelief at the idea of Scarlet wearing any of that! "What are you doing right now?" he prodded his lover.
"Having a cup of tea" she answered.
"Is there honey in that tea?" he teased her.
"Yes, and lemon too" Tifa answered.
"I wish I were there. I could put that honey to other uses" he teased.
"I suppose you could put it on a slice of bread for a late-night snack" Tifa texted back to the weird message, mystified by the weird tone of his conversation.
"Oh, I would eat something alright" he texted with a smirk.
"I have to go soon" Tifa texted back to this.
"Touch yourself" Reno texted to her.
Tifa shrugged and touched her forefinger to her opposite arm, "I did" she ventured.
"Did that feel good?" he asked her.
"I guess" she texted back.
"I bet you can't wait for me to come home" he texted.
"Could you bring me back a souvenir keychain from wherever you are? I collect them. I'll pay you back of course" Tifa requested.
Reno wondered what the hell was going on with Scarlet. He couldn't picture her collecting anything but male hearts to eat for breakfast and certainly had never offered to repay him for anything he had ever given her. He was getting sick of the stilted conversation that she clearly wasn't latching onto. He decided to make one final attempt and then call it a night.
"Come on, send me a picture of something dirty. I need inspiration" he encouraged her.
Tifa questioned what he meant and then set her spoon in her used mug and took a picture of that and sent it to him and went to turn in for the night.
Reno could only blink in surprise at the image.
