Disclaimer: I do not own Final Fantasy 7... You all know how this goes by now right?

A/N: The fist chapter is slightly depressing but the tone should pick up by later chapters

Chapter 1. The Break Up.

"Elena. My office. Now"

Voice mails from Tseng were always like this. Short, to the point and aggravating. This was probably another opportunity for him to get her beneath the desk for the next half hour.

It wasn't as if Elena regretted sleeping with Tseng just the contrast between the Tseng, her boss and Tseng, her lover was occasionally a bit too much to bear. Reno had tried to tease her when she was in one of those moods and Elena tried to give him an impromptus vasectomy, with bricks.

Rude? Well he was a good friend to her. He didn't talk much but he was a good listener and he always knew when it was best for him to stay the hell out of her way.

But Tseng was the man she was in love with, until today however.

"Yes sir?"

"Your paperwork Elena…"

"Sir?" she had done all her paperwork, and done it well so what was his problem?

"Its ruined"

"…"

"I would have expected something like this from Reno!" he said waving the folder around "Not you Elena."

"But I…"

"You'll have to do it again"

"But…"

"No buts Elena, this level of work is unacceptable."

"…Sir…can I ask you something?"

"What is it Elena?"

"How can you go from being such a kind soul to a complete bastard in five minutes?"

"WHAT?"

"And one more thing, don't EVER compare my standard of work with Reno's" and with that she stormed out of the office in a huff

Reno was in the common room when she walked past

"Hey 'Laney!" She said nothing, but instead fired a few shots into the chair Reno was sitting in causing him to flee and cower behind the table. "Shit. Maybe I shouldn't have switched the names on the paperwork"

Tseng was left gob smacked in his office. When had Elena ever said something like that to anyone except Reno? Well maybe some of the rookies who had hit on him but usually she shot them in the foot.

He looked back at her paperwork, it was abysmal. Something that wouldn't have been acosiated with her if it wasn't her name on the front…on a white backing…despite it was a green folder.

"Reno…" he growled under his breath. That damn Turk had made him make a huge mistake which he would have to put right. If Elena would forgive him.

He tried to call her but she didn't answer. He would have to go and apologize himself.

Or castrate Reno.

'Castrating Reno sounds good.'

'No! must apologize to Elena'

'First apologize to her then castrate the red-head.'

"Elena I'm…"

"Save it."

"Elena?"

"I don't want to have a relationship with you"

"look, if this is about what happened in my office…"

"Its not just that Tseng."

"Then what is it?"

"It's the way you act when we're at work."

"Elena, I don't know what you mean?"

"Back at the apartment you're all sweet and such, but here you're completely different. Its like we don't even exist as a couple in public."

"Elena…"

"Its over Sir." And she walked out again leaving him feel dejected. 'how long had she thought like this? Was it the final straw in my office? How can I get her back?'

Tseng eventually collapsed down into his chair, the brat Rufus wanted another thing done. It would be another day in the office but one without Elena to come home to.
