A collection of drabbles, teeny one-shots, and other short works revolving around Reno and Yuffie.
Inspiration of summary/title came from the yaoi manga series Yellow by Makoto Tateno. (It is so beautiful, you should check it out.)
.Scarred
"What about this one?" He pointed to a long, curvy scar on the back of her arm.
"One of Jenova's tentacles," she said, wiggling her fingers. "I mentioned to Cid that it could have been one of the tentacle rape porno flicks he watched and he spent a lot less time on his phone after that."
Reno laughed even harder when she told him what Cid had woken up screaming that night.
…
.Heat
It came and went in patches and spots, like a chain reaction of explosions. She followed the heat trail down his body with her lips and the tips of her fingers, seeking out the next as the previous one faded. The little sighs he made were indeed very similar to the ones he allowed himself when a bomb of his own design went off flawlessly. He would then grin, as he grinned now, and wait for the final explosion.
…
.Garden
She told him to meet her at night, in the garden behind the Pagoda. When he found her, she wore a grin and he knew why she'd chosen that particular spot for their secret, moonlit tryst. She was surrounded by outlandish, wild flowers whose petals were bright red. The newly engaged princess forgot all about Lord Stuffypants as she dissolved into laughter that was only silenced by his lips on hers.
…
.I Know
Beginning
"Everything will be okay."
"I know."
"It's political, he's probably got a girlfriend down south."
"I know."
"I love you, Reno."
Middle
"I want to, but I can't be in your bed every night."
"I know."
"I'm trying to get things changed, it just takes time to break an ancient tradition."
"I know."
"Be patient."
End
"I was never agreeing with you, Yuffs. All those years, I was telling myself what would happen."
"I know."
…
.Ring
He looked down at the rejected ring on the coffee table, his expression unreadable. Yuffie stood beside him, glaring at it, her hands on her hips.
"I warned you," she said. Reno stuffed his hands into his pockets.
"I'll take it back," he said quietly.
"Or you could go back in time and not make the stupid mistake in the first place," she mused. He kicked at the leg of the table, making a sweaty beer bottle rattle on a ceramic coaster.
"Go out and get another one," the ninja said, changing her mind. Reno gaped at her.
"First you didn't even want one. Then the first one wasn't big enough or shiny enough. The second one had too much gold on it. You want another one? I thought this was perfect!" Yuffie crossed her arms. He frowned. "You think Rufus Shinra lines our coffee pots with hundred gil bills for filters?" His girlfriend pointed imperiously at the offending ring.
"If you had listened to me the first time, you wouldn't have to get another!" she snapped. "We're in a nice place and I want nice things."
Grumbling to himself, Reno snatched his keys off the table and left their apartment, cursing un-lacquered tables and their susceptibility to water rings.
…
.Lights
Reno had been raised in Midgar. There was no sky, no stars to speak of. When he finally moved above the plate, there was still no real sky. The eerie green mako influence tainted everything. Even Edge, a city built outside in the open, didn't have a good looking sky. The smog from factories and machines was always so thick in the air, smothering out the night.
Yuffie took him to Wutai once, and he finally got the chance to really look at the sky from the top of Da Chao. The warm lights in the city below did nothing to take away from the silvery brilliance of the moon and stars. They sat, perched on top of Da Chao, and exchanged dirty jokes over a bottle of bourbon.
"These," she said, pointing up at the sky that he had quickly fallen in love with. "These are worth fighting for." Gazing up at them, Reno couldn't help but agree.
…
.Run
She had maybe five minutes before Godo realized what she was doing and came after her. There were maybe three days before her father's agents found her. She stuffed all of her Materia, including Wutai's beloved Leviathan, into a bag. She had a sizable amount of gil, thanks to a loyal servant, and she made up her mind to simply buy more clothes when they reached Edge. Packing a few more precious possessions into her bag, she didn't spare a final look back at her room; she ducked out the window and fled through Wutai.
Into the valley surrounded by mountains, she ran until she saw the matte black helicopter with the Shinra logo displayed proudly on the side. And there was the man she knew was waiting for her.
Reno had all the confidence in the world that her great escape was in the bag. When she reached him, he swept her up in his arms and gave her a vulgar victory kiss and a grope, wishing her father was there to see him defiling the princess of Wutai.
…
.Untouchable
Saviour of the planet and heroine of Meteorfall. Princess of Wutai and keeper of the earthly manifestation of the water god, Leviathan. And worst of all, cherished as a little sister by a manic depressive vampire and a pilot who could probably give him cancer just by breathing on him. No one person was as off limits to Reno as Yuffie Kisaragi.
He thought about the threats that had been delivered to him.
"In the deepest caves of the Northern Crater, no one can hear you scream," Strife had said calmly as he delivered a package to Rufus.
"The more you know," Reno muttered, flicking his EMR over his shoulder and hastily leaving the room.
"I bet I could straighten yer punk ass out if I shoved Venus Gospel up yer shitter," Cid told him not a week later while he was overseeing the latest developments of the new space center in Rocket Town. Reno hauled ass away from him.
Tifa didn't say a word to him; she passed the redhead his drink, her garnet eyes sharp and cold. He blanched considerably when she picked up a solid wooden table with one hand, stooped and scooped up a forgotten peanut (which she crushed between her thumb and forefinger as if it were a piece of bubble wrap), and set it back down again.
He was eventually threatened by every member of AVALANCHE, all of whom told him in varying methods that the ninja was strictly off limits.
This only made him smirk every time he caressed that soft, untouchable body in the darkness of a quiet room.
Tell me what you think! Reviews are like Dr. Pepper to me. Also, PLEASE give me prompts! I'd like to explore my creativity a little, so leave prompts in your review! They could be one word, like the above, they could be scenarios, or just something you want to see. If I get an idea from one that I really like, I might turn it into a big ol' oneshot. I can get carried away. Reffie doesn't get enough attention, because good lord are they ever perfect for each other.
As always,
Peace, love, and chai~
