Stupid Mistakes

Rude stormed into the office he shared with Reno, his partner. Reno was Rude's partner in more ways than one, and Rude was quite happy with that, as was Reno. Reno jumped when Rude slammed the door and sat down in his office chair, it was very unlike Rude to come into work in a bad mood.

"What's wrong, Rude?" the redhead asked, not wanting to anger his bald lover anymore. Rude just glared, and when he had his sunglasses off it had a powerful effect.

"Nothing Reno, just shut up." he snarled, not in the mood for talking. Rude had had a very bad morning, which had put him in a bad mood. His brother, who had made Rude's life a living hell, had returned, after being presumed dead. Rude's brother had gotten the bald Turk addicted to drugs and alcohol, and now those days were coming back. He had recieved numerous letters and numerous drug samples, and it was starting to get to Rude. He grunted as Reno shrunk back, and continued with the paperwork he suddenly found rather interesting. After a while, Reno sighed and stood up, he didn't want to be in the room anymore. Rude snapped his head and looked up at the redhead, who just casually took his jacket off and slung it over the back of his chair.

"Where do you think you're going?" Rude snapped, wondering why Reno was being quiet.

"I'm going for a walk." Was the only reply the bald man recieved.

Rufus walked out of his office, he was bored so he decided to go and see what his Turks were getting up to. As he was walking to the office, he saw Reno.

"Hello Reno, you ok?" he asked, the president was in a very good mood. Reno just shrugged and took his packet of cigarettes, along with his lighter, out of his pocket.

"Been better, sir. How about yourself?" he asked, not sounding like the usual peppy Reno. This troubled Rufus greatly.

"I'm fine, but what's wrong, Reno?" Rufus asked, genuinely concerned. Reno just shook his head and dismissed it.

"Nothing, I'm going out for a smoke." he said before walking off. This left Rufus rather confused, so he decided to go and see Rude, if anybody would now what was wrong, it would be Rude.

Rude sighed angrily as he heard the office door open; he reckoned it would probably be Reno returning. He was shocked to see the president sit down in Reno's chair.

"Can I help you, sir?" Rude asked, trying to keep the snappy tone out of his voice. Rufus nodded and placed his hands on the desk.

"What is wrong with Reno? He is usually hyper and pulling pranks, not skulking off work for a smoke." The president said; tone even. Rude just shrugged and Rufus sighed, why was the bald Turk acting like this?

"I told him to shut up and he walked out." Rude said with a sigh while he focused on his paperwork. Rufus and Reno decided to leave him alone for the rest of the day.
