From Trash To Treasure

There's no job too big for the Turks.
You're too late. Once I push this button…
That's all, folks! Mission accomplished.
XXX
Reno woke up in a cold sweat. He fumbled blind, for the ever present bottle of booze. The nightstand overflowed, with old booze bottles, and ashtrays full of cigarette butts. Unscrewing the top, with a shaky hand, he guzzled the whole thing down in one go. Damn! Every fucking night!
Every single fucking nighte, since Reno had completed the mission of dropping the Plate on Sector 7, he had the same nightmares.
Reno refused to see the Shinra-assigned shrink for his sleeping problems, terrified he would be found incapable of performing his job, and be put on leave. At this point, work was all he had.
Reno gazed around his sorry excuse for an apartment. Yeah. It would be all he would ever have.
Years ago, when Reno had to do things he found distasteful, he would be comforted by saying this little mantra to himself, "Turks are the Bad Guys. Bad Guys never have happy endings." Through countless assassinations and dirty dealings, for the longest time, the little ditty worked for him. Unfortunately, the passage of time proved the red-headed Turk wrong.
One day Reno woke up from an insomnia-induced stupor, with the realization that all the main Turks he knew had happy endings.
The oldest Turk alive, Vincent Valentine, now lived the happy married life of a housewife to Cid Highwind, in Rocket Town.
Rufus and Tseng had been together from the first. The Remnant problem strengthening their devotion even more.
Elena had become Reeve's personal bodyguard. She adored taking shots at Cait Sith.
The last hold-out, partner and best buddy, Rude had married Tifa, their former enemy in AVALANCHE, three months ago. She was already pregnant with their first baby.
Yeah. The only one with the bad ending seemed to be Reno.
Not that he felt he didn't deserve this fate. The constant nightmares proved that. With this epiphany, Reno dedicated his excess time in trying to kill himself with starvation, alcohol, and cigarettes. Of course, he remained vigilant while working. His job being the sole reason for him to open his eyes in the morning. Unfortunately, the process just took too damn long, and he didn't think he could take one more day of the pain. He felt sure one more push would be all it would take.
Just one more push.
XXX
Reno had a secret fetish. An unusual fetish, especially for a double-dealing, murdering Turk.
The fetish being he loved babies and everything that came with them. He loved kids, too. But babies!
All the little toys, blankets, and bottles.
And the clothes!
Reno could spend hours upon hours in a baby store just poking at the little animal faces on the sleepers.
The baby stores always smelled like baby powder, and clean, and HOPE.
Once he dropped that damned Plate, Reno knew he would never feel hope for himself again. Like love, he would gaze with a wistful eye, while hope passed him by.
Before his partner's wife had gotten pregnant, Reno found it pretty hard to indulge in his baby fetish.
Now, with Tifa's giggling blessing, Reno would drag Rude to every baby store in Midgar, and beyond, to indulge in the secret passion.
Rude would shake his head. In secret, he felt glad he could do something for his partner. He may wear dark sunglasses, but he wasn't blind. He saw that Reno was trying to kill himself and he understood the reason why. He just didn't know how to help him. If baby stores gave his partner a little happiness, baby stores would be their destination.
Rude had to admit. He found a lot of the stuff cute too. He couldn't believe, in six months, he'd be holding a being that small.
Rude grunted with contentment, marrying Tifa Lockheart had been the best thing he ever did.
If only Reno could find someone to love, but he never gave a sign of attraction to anybody.
Rude frowned, when his mind flashed Cloud Strife's chocobo-blonde head, in front of his shaded eyes. He shook his head, to clear it of the disturbing vision.
Reno may have shown a slight interest in the world's hero. However, everyone knew, except for an oblivious Reno, Cloud Strife hated his guts, since he dropped the Plate on Sector 7.
Believing Cloud didn't notice him at all, Reno would use Rude for an excuse. Coming to the bar, he would covertly (he thought) gaze adoringly at the brooding blonde. He didn't know Cloud tolerated Reno's presence for Tifa's sake.
No. Rude and Tifa had done everything in their power to make sure Reno never found out Cloud's true feelings about him.
Rude believed, if Reno discovered the truth, this would be the last nail in his ready-made coffin.
XXX
"Hey, Partner?"
Rude focused his attention back to Reno.
Reno held up a tiny purple baby sleeper with little kitten faces on the feet. "Lemme buy this for the baby. 'Kay?"
Rude wanted to object.
By himself, Reno had filled almost the whole nursery. He gave such a pleading look, though.
Once again relenting, Rude nodded, with a smile. "Sure thing, Partner."
Old, much-missed grin appearing, for a fleeting moment, Reno bounced to the cash register.
Rude released a deep sigh, before heading outsided to get the car.
XXX
When the Turks arrived back at the Seventh Heaven, the pair heard loud, intense arguing inside.
Rude ran in quick to protect Tifa.
Reno followed, with Electro-Mag Rod sizzling in one hand, and yellow baby bag waving in the other.
"I don't care if he is Rude's partner! He's nothing but trash and shouldn't be anywhere near the baby!"
"Cloud! How many times do we have to argue about this! He was just following orders! You were in the military! You know the deal! You remember what Vincent told us about what happened to Turks who didn't complete their missions!"
Cloud snarled with disgust. "Yeah! I remember him smiling, when he dropped the Plate on Sector 7. He didn't give a damn about his life or anybody else's down there! Anyway, you think I don't notice him coming in here every stinking day and staring at me! It makes my skin crawl! You know the only reason I tolerate it is because you begged me to! He should be dead! If he died tomorrow, it would make this planet a better place!"
A shaken Reno lowered the Rod. Horrified realization dawning in his brain.
The arguing old friends turned, at once, hearing Reno's Electro-Mag Rod drop to the floor, along with the baby bag.
Reno had vanished.
Frantic, Rude ran out of the bar, looking for his partner.
Tifa and Cloud followed him out to the empty street.
Glancing back towards Cloud Strife, Rude snarled with indignation. Hero of the world, his ass! Fucker actually smiled in contentment, like his greatest wish had come true.
Rude didn't know how he would do the deed. But if Reno ended up dead, he'd find some way to kill the smug asshole. Wife's best friend or not.
XXX
Reno had no idea how he ended up at Aeris's dusty old church. But when Aerith still lived, she had always been nice to him, whenever he tromped in.
Reno sniggered, even when he stepped on her precious flowers.
Aerith seemed to see right through Reno's swaggering act. Heck knows, everyone else could too, including Cloud Strife.
Damn!
Reno blinked and blinked, so the tears wouldn't fall. He never cried before. He wouldn't cry now! He took deep breaths, in and out, to control the hiccups.
Noticing Reno's secret crush all along, Tifa had to plead with Cloud to "endure" his unwanted attentions.
All the time Reno sat, thinking of ways to make Cloud Strife's lonely life happy and fulfilled. Strife had been thinking of different ways to kill him.
Shaking his head in dismay, all of Reno's hard work went to naught, and the tears began to fall. No happy endings for him. He's the Bad Guy. Bad guys end up dead in gutters, with no one to identify their bodies at the morgue.
Burying his head in his hands, Reno began to cry in earnest.
"Reno!"
Reno's head shot up. Wild eyes darting around the church.
"Don't cry, Reno!"
After drying reddened eyes with long fingers, Reno dried his nose on his sleeve. A lady's voice. The voice sounded like Aerith's. However, the sound didn't seem to come from one place. The whole church seemed to be talking to him.
Aww Man! Reno's eyes widened. The hard living finally kicked in. He had gone loony like Strife.
Reading his mind, the voice laughed. "No, Reno. You're not going crazy. I heard your pleas. I've decided to help you."
Reno thought about bolting for the exit, but then he shrugged his shoulders. Now he knew Cloud's real feelings, he could never show his face at the Seventh Heaven again. He didn't have anything left. When in doubt, roll with it. "What's the deal, yo?"
"Deal?
"Come on, Aerith! You grew up slum rat, same as me! There's always a deal, yo!"
Reno found himself smiling, hearing Aerith's sweet laugh.
"I have a new soul in the Lifestream. She's been watching you for a long time. She hates seeing you so sad and lonely. She wants you to be her mommy, but I would have to change you for it to happen."
Reno's brows crinkled in confusion. "Aerith, I'm a guy and completely straight, yo."
Aerith did not reply, but Reno actually felt the gaze of disbelief from the Lifestream.
"Okay! Maybe I like a to add a guy or two to the mix now and again! Ain't no crime, yo!"
Aerith again refused to dignify his answer.
Reno hung his head in defeat. "What's the gay Turk gotta do for his baby girl, yo?"
"You see that pool of water in front of you?"
Standing up, Reno peered down. "Ya mean the dirty puddle?"
"Oh, it's deeper than it looks! I need you to get naked and lay in it. I'll take care of the rest."
Reno once again looked around the church, just knowing he was being filmed. "What about baby girl? Ya gonna slip her in on the sly, yo?"
"No! You're going to have to do that the old-fashioned way. Just find a good daddy for her! She's waiting for you, Reno. Don't keep her waiting long."
Reno wrapped long arms around himself. It would be his biggest wish come true, with Strife now out of the picture for good. "Aerith? Ya ain't jokin', right? I couldn't take anymore jokin', yo."
Hearing the sweet bell of Aerith's laughter, Reno felt like someone ruffled the top of his head. "No, Reno. We slum rats stick together. Through and through 'til the end, yo."
Reno chuckled. He hadn't heard that in years. "Alright, Aerith. Tell my baby girl to get ready. She won't regret choosin' me for her mommy, yo."
Walking towards the water, Reno shed his suit along the way.
Stepping into the dark, surprisingly warm, water, Reno realized Aerith had spoken the truth. His feet could barely touch the bottom.
Treading water, Reno saw a bright light flash from the water itself, and surround his whole body. Feeling a searing pain in his lower stomach, he gratefully passed out.
XXX
Regaining consciousness, Reno found himself on his side, wrapped up tight, head-to-toe, in a woolen blanket. Facing a cheery fire, he thought he should wait to check if the change really happened, but he had never been good at that waiting crap.
A stealthy hand wandered down to the area between the legs. Little nudge there. A subtle push there. Jackpot!
Reno grinned like a pleased cat. Baby girl, get ready for Mommy!
"You shouldn't touch yourself like that around strangers."
Freezing, Reno instinctively covered his penis in fright, at the sound of Cloud Strife's murmuring voice. Knowing Mr. Hero Super-SOLDIER wanted him dead, he felt kind of terrified. Then he remembered what Aerith said. A new soul waited for him. He had to get his baby girl here. The thought of her total reliance on him returned the fire to Reno's eyes.
Struggling up, Reno let the blanket fall, uncovering his nakedness. "Well, now ya seen me naked, so we ain't strangers. Where the fuck's my suit, yo?"
Ready for a starry-eyed, grateful Reno, Cloud had been taken aback by the ferociousness. He gestured to the Turk's clothing laid to the side with his shoes.
Cool as a cucumber, a graceful Reno sauntered to his clothes and put them on piece by piece. He didn't seem to care that Cloud watched him the whole time.
Cloud let the matter go until Reno turned to walk out of the church. "Aerith changed you down there. She gave you girly parts."
A snarling Reno whirled around. "What the fuck do you know, Strife? What info did she give up, yo?"
Moving back in his seat, Cloud held his hands up in a defensive posture. "After I found you, she told me to take care of you until you woke up. When I picked you up to carry you out of the water, my hand kind of slipped."
Reno stood straight up. He then slouched to the side, with a hand on his hip. "Gee, Strife. That line didn't work when you were thirteen. What makes ya think it'll convince me now, yo?"
Blushing hot, Cloud directed his nervous gaze into the fire. "Okay. I got a little curious about what Aerith did so… I guess I sorta checked."
Glancing back up, Cloud jerked back. He had enhanced hearing, but he never heard Reno move from the front door to directly in front of him.
Slowly bending down, long, loose red hair reflecting the light of the fire, Reno's ocean-blue eyes opened and shut like a sleepy kitty. "Did ya like what ya saw there, Strife?"
With a gulp, Cloud nodded.
Taking Cloud's surprised face between long white fingers, Reno nuzzled his nose with Cloud's. "Bet ya touched inside a little too. Did ya like what ya felt, Strife?"
In a hypnotized daze, with a nod, Cloud leaned forward to kiss Reno's beckoning lips.
Reno's snarl returned. Rearing back, he punched Cloud in the face. "Well, ya better fuckin' remember it, because that's all ya ever gonna get from this trash, yo!"
Having fallen off the box he had been sitting on, Cloud stared at Reno's stiff back.
Stomping away, Reno exited the church, banging the door closed on the way out.
XXX
Arriving back at his dingy little apartment, Reno stripped himself naked. He ran into the bathroom to look at himself in the full-length mirror. Raising long arms, he turned around slow, so he could see the physical changes for himself. He also had to plan how he would exploit the good parts to the fullest.
Aerith said Reno had to find a good daddy for the baby girl.
Reno gave himself a firm nod in the mirror. No job's too big for a Turk. This would be the biggest and most important job of his now hope-filled life.
Aerith had helped by healing Reno's body of all the damage he had previously done to it. He looked the healthiest he had ever been. For the baby girl, his body would stay that way.
Reno walked out of the bathroom, naked, and looked around. Nope. This would never do.
First thing tomorrow, a new pad. Maybe in one of the new high-rises, with the garden in the middle for the baby to play in. She would get fresh air. Goodness knows, Reno had the gil, and Rude had been badgering him to get into a healthier environment.
With a yawn, Reno stretched his new body out. Hmm. Since Strife already got his grope on, better check to see if the sundae still had its cherry.
Reno didn't put it past the pervert to take what would be his baby girl daddy's rightful prize. He sniggered at the thought. Prize. He hadn't had a "prize" since he was twelve.
Shaking his head in amazement, Reno lay back on the bed.
After thinking about it for a moment, Reno decided it was his to fuckin' play with, and stuck his finger into the new opening between his balls and anus. Little nudge here. A little poke there. We have a winner!
Reno's Cheshire cat grin again made its appearance. Oh, Baby Girl's daddy was gonna have a ball with this!
Relaxing his body, Reno continued to play and rub his new parts.
Strife believed Reno to be trash.
Reno's attentions made Cloud's skin crawl.
Moaning, Reno began to rub harder, on the new bundle of nerves. Well, he hated Cloud now, but he could still use him for rubbin' fodder until he found better stock.
The look on Cloud's face, when he talked about touching Reno's body.
With a whine, Reno rubbed himself harder and harder, occasionally sticking long fingers inside to swirl the juices around.
Cloud's beautiful Mako-blue eyes widening, when he realized Reno stood so close.
Reno felt his lower stomach tighten.
Cloud leaned forward to kiss him. Pink tongue reaching for Reno's lips.
Reno screamed. Thighs clamping on his wrist. Frantic fingers continuing the rubbing to make the sweet feeling last.
With a groan, attempting to catch his breath, Reno lay in an exhausted heap.
Damn! If he had known it was this good, he would have gotten girly parts years ago!
XXX
While Reno discovered the newfound thrills of womanhood, Cloud Strife concentrated on sharpening his sword.
Smaller swords, which altogether comprised First Tsurugi, awaited their turn, strewn around Cloud's bent over, methodically working figure.
For expediency sake, Cloud would usually bring the sword to the nearest blacksmith of any town or city he would make deliveries to. However, if he had the time, he would take a day out of making deliveries to keep the sword in the tip-top condition he had become accustomed to.
The steady work also helped with keeping Cloud's fragmented psyche focused on one thing. True, Tifa had helped him, so long ago, in bringing the main parts of his brain back together, so he could function, somewhat, like a human being.
But Tifa acknowledged, when she had witnessed one too many strange quirks, that Cloud would never be considered "normal" by any sane person. This was why he now lived in his old girlfriend's abandoned church, sharpening one, of many, swords, alone.
Pausing, in his work, Cloud felt a familiar, comforting presence come over him. "You might as well tell me. I'll find out anyway."
Cloud wasn't surprised to find his now upright body standing in a wide field of flowers.
Aerith gazed from a small distance away. Instead of welcoming Cloud with open arms, like usual, she met him with a disapproving frown. "You have no right to judge."
"He dropped the Plate on Sector 7. He killed all those people, most of whom you knew personally. I don't understand why he should be given anything of worth. He should be dead and good riddance to him."
Doing her version of a smirk, Aerith leaned forward fetchingly. "A little while ago, you didn't think so. You weren't going to make him dead. You were going to kiss him."
Leaning back, Aerith shook her head, in condemnation. "For the rest, I asked you to take care of him, until he could get around on his own. I didn't say you could molest him, while he laid unconscious."
Cloud's gaze slid away from Aerith's accusing one. "My hand slipped a couple of times. It happens."
Cloud didn't have to look back to see Aerith didn't buy the hackneyed excuse one bit. "Make up your mind, Cloud. You say Reno should suffer and die for what he did. But whenever he's near you, even though you tell yourself you hate him, all you think about is raping him over and over."
Cloud directed a startled gaze back to a now extremely angry Aerith. "If I stayed good, you promised you wouldn't mess anymore with my head. I've been good. Reno's still alive. He's even sorta still half-a-virgin."
"You make it kind of hard to stay out of your head, when your perverted thoughts come screaming up to me in the Lifestream. As for being good, the way you keep thinking, especially with Reno looking the way he does now, I doubt you'll behave much longer."
"Reno will be safe. I swear."
Aerith tilted her head. With a serene smile, she giggled. "Really? Hmm. She says you're a big meanie liar, who wants to hurt her Mommy."
Cloud's attention became diverted, by a little hand, clutching Aerith's skirt.
Moving swift, around Aerith, Cloud attempted to find out who talked out of turn.
Aerith's laughter filled the field.
The toddler, believing Cloud wished to play tag with her, tried to dodge him.
After multiple foiled attempts, with the toddler showing surprising fast reflexes, Cloud caught the barefoot little girl wearing a little white smock. She rewarded him with a hard baby punch to the eye.
Holding the little red-head in strong arms, Cloud gazed into ocean-blue eyes, with a familiar fiery glare emanating from them. "Who might you be, Tattle-tale?"
"She says she's not a tattle-tale, if she's telling the truth, and her Mommy hasn't given her a name yet. He's just been calling her Baby Girl."
Cloud clutched the baby possessively to his chest. "Reno? This baby's the reason you changed Reno. She's your gift to him?"
The baby laid her head down and began to play with the metal wolf's head on Cloud's other shoulder.
Aerith shrugged, with a nod. "Actually, she toddled up to me one day, from the Lifestream, and asked me herself. You know I wouldn't think something like this up. I'm more of an all-around world-saver. However, she's an assertive one. She decided what she wanted and went for it, just like her mommy."
Cloud looked down at the baby's resting head. Leaning in, he inhaled her sweet baby smell, and nuzzled her forehead. Her skin felt so soft. Body so fragile in his enhanced grip. He smiled a little, when she let out a big yawn. "Who will her Daddy be?"
Waiting for an answer, Cloud's question met silence instead. He looked back up to a frowning Aerith. "Cloud. This is Reno's choice. I informed him, when he was changed, he needed to find her a good Daddy. She would then be with him."
Bringing the baby closer, Cloud held her tighter to him at the news.
Wrapping her little arms around his neck, the baby began to hum a little song.
"Cloud. I can already hear your thoughts. Don't go there. It's Reno's choice. Let him choose. He now knows the negative feelings you've always felt about him. I'm afraid to say this, but you're not even in the running anymore." On that note, Aerith reached out for the baby.
Cloud backed up, holding the babe tighter, shaking his head.
Running tiny fingers through golden chocobo hair, the baby patted Cloud's face.
"Cloud. She's not yours. The way things look now. She never will be. Give her back. She chose Reno to be her Mommy. She belongs with him, not you."
Coming to a sudden halt, Cloud kissed the baby again. Breathing in her sweet baby smell, he imprinted the scent in his mind.
The baby continued to coo and sing.
Cloud then handed the baby back to Aerith, while completely clearing his mind.
Aerith instantly became suspicious of the act. "Cloud, remember what I said. It's Reno's choice. Leave him alone."
Cloud gave Aerith a firm nod. Mako-blue eyes glued to the baby waving bye-bye. With a blink, he returned back to his body, still hunched over the sword he had been sharpening.
After rotating his shoulders to get the feeling back in them, Cloud hunched back over the sword, and returned to sharpening.
Now he knew Aerith monitored his thoughts, Cloud had to hide them. He may have been Sephiroth's puppet for a while, but he had learned one good thing, from the experience.
Cloud could project a semblance of perception, while mentally planning out his true goal. A trusting, old Cetra girlfriend would never know, until too late.
Mouth tilting in a semblance of a smile, Cloud began to hum the song the baby had sung to him. The eerie sound echoed throughout the otherwise empty church.
XXX
Home, sweet home!
Whooping with joy, Reno spun around the big apartment.
Rude stopped unpacking to appreciate the emotional changes in his partner. He had been so worried, when had Reno disappeared, but Reno showed up the next day, looking better than ever.
In fact, to Rude's bewildered eyes, Reno looked in the peak of health and breathtaking. He glowed under the office lights.
It wasn't long before Rude discovered the reason why.
Jumping up on Rude's desk, Reno proclaimed he had a beautiful baby girl on the way.
Knowing Reno was gay, and that no responsible party would let a Turk adopt a baby, Rude decided Cloud's confession had driven his poor partner insane.
Sensing Rude's doubt, Reno vaulted off the desk, grabbed Rude by the collar, dragged him to the nearest bathroom, and showed him the goods.
Needless to say, Rude felt somewhat grossed out, but also kind of intrigued. "So, you're the one that's going to have the baby girl?"
"Yep! Aerith said all I had to do was find my baby girl a good Daddy. Then she's on her way, yo!"
"Well, good luck with that, Partner." Rude actually meant the words with all his heart. He hoped it showed.
Reno stopped bouncing for a moment and looked serious. "Yeah, seems Tifa got the last one, yo."
Rude, who had been waiting for Reno's eventual breakdown, opened big arms wide. He wrapped his partner in the tightest bear hug Reno could stand.
Reno held on for dear life. He needed Rude's support more than ever now.
Reno said, before anything else, he needed to find himself a new place to live. A place suitable for a growing child.
Rude called up Tifa, who had some ready prospects, and felt delighted at the news.
Unlike Rude, Tifa had traveled extensively with Aerith. She believed Reno's transformation something her old friend would absolutely do. She promised, over the phone, to give Reno all the help she could.
Two days later, Reno had a brand new place of residence, complete with hardwood floors and its own little patio garden.
Tifa may own Seventh Heaven, but Reno now lived it.
XXX
"Rude? Honey, can you bring in the new shipment of glassware for me?"
Rude came in from the back-room, where he had been reading the paper on a rare day off. "Where's Strife?"
"Oh, I haven't seen him for days. He has a new job or something. You know how he gets all moody and secretive when he's doing a mercenary job instead of delivering."
Rude snorted. How could Tifa tell? Strife acted like that all the time.
Rude moved to the front, to get the boxes, before he stopped dead.
Tife gazed at his stiff back. "Rude? Something the matter?"
"Tifa? How long has Cloud been acting this way?"
"About two weeks. Why?"
Rude turned around with full game face on.
Tifa was his wife. She knew he would never harm a hair on her head, but she still backed away.
"Reno got changed two weeks ago. You said Strife found him in the church. Did he say anything else?"
Tifa shook her head. "Rude, I know what you're thinking. I thought about it too, especially with Reno finally finding happiness and hope. I made Cloud promise he would leave Reno alone. He swore on our friendship he would not harm Reno. It helps now that Reno won't ever come near here again."
Crossing his arms over his chest, Rude shook his head at his wife. He loved her more than anything, but she had a blind spot concerning Strife bigger than the whole planet. "Tifa, what you and I consider not harmful, and what Strife considers not harmful are two way different things. His mind doesn't even live in the same galaxy."
With a comforting smile, Tifa hugged her husband, crossed arms and all. "Rude, he promised me and I believe him. Reno and his little baby girl will be fine and safe. Now, quit being so grumpy, and help the pregnant lady; before she lifts those boxes herself and makes you look like a wimp.
Opening his arms underneath Tifa's, Rude swung her around. She giggled and held on. "Okay, my lady. The wimp will get to work."
XXX
For the last two weeks, Reno felt the strangest tingle at the back of his neck.
At first, being a Turk, Reno thought someone put a hit out on him. But when he checked the snitches, he found himself free and clear.
Thinking back on it, Reno now felt silly.
Since Rude had gotten married, their team had been assigned permanent office duty.
At the time, Reno balked, when he had been informed by a grateful Rude.
With the baby girl arriving soon, Reno had become the grateful one.
When he thought it through, Reno shrugged and smiled.
Aerith had told Reno his baby had been watching over him for the longest time. The unfamiliar tingle was probably her.
Stopping in the middle of the street, Reno hugged himself, while ignoring the disturbed onlookers.
Just a little while longer.
Looking up to the sky, Reno laughed out loud.
Baby Girl would be watching her Mommy up-close and personal, with Reno holding her in his arms.
Cloud allowed himself to laugh, along with Reno, from a hidden vantage point. Ever since returing, from visiting Aerith and his baby girl in the Lifestream, he had been intensely following her chosen Mommy around.
Refusing to give Cloud Reno's new address, for obvious reasons, Tifa had been extremely careful, with keeping the information hidden, from prying Mako-blue eyes.
Cloud didn't want to stalk Reno, but Tifa had left him no choice.
After finally discovering Reno's new apartment, Cloud broke in. He did this just to make sure the place lived up to his world hero's standards, of course.
Searching all around, Cloud kept a careful eye on the hidden traps any self-respecting Turk would leave to keep his home safe from civilians.
A good thing Cloud hadn't been a civilian since he was twelve.
Cloud approved of Reno's already careful baby-proofing of the whole apartment.
Plastic covers covered all the electrical plugs. All the furniture proved soft, with no sharp corners to jar or hurt. All the shelves had the plastic door locks. The kind adults always forgot to unlock, before accidentally tearing the door off.
A satisfied Cloud nodded his head. Yes, his baby had chosen well for her Mommy.
Of course, the nursery, located right next to the bedroom, remained empty.
Once the pregnancy was confirmed, Cloud would go with Reno to buy everything their baby girl would need together.
Cloud saved Reno's bedroom for last.
When he opened the door and entered, Cloud's eyes widened, when enhanced senses caught a familiar scent.
Oh! Baby girl! His baby girl's sweet smell! Of course, she would smell like her Mommy. She looked just like him.
Cloud grinned. He knew he shouldn't.
Reno was a trained Turk. He would know if something was off.
Cloud just couldn't help himself. Removing his boots, he laid down on the bed.
With Reno's smell overwhelming his senses, Cloud buried his face in the pillows.
Every day and night, from now on, Cloud would have this.
Reno and his baby girl would be Cloud's.
Rolling his head to the side, Cloud smiled.
Just a little while longer.
Cloud would be holding Reno in his arms, making their baby girl.
When Reno came home that day, his Turk senses went off like fireworks.
Someone had been there.
Reno checked all the traps, even Rude's special ones that veteran Turks couldn't find. All remained set and active.
Siting down on the bed, Reno hugged himself. Looked down, he laughed at his own actions. He had been hugging himself a lot lately. Now he had something to protect, which actually meant something to him, he had developed an overwhelming paranoia.
Kicking his shoes off, Reno laid down to rest. Rolling his head on the pillows, he smiled.
Rude called Reno today on his cell, saying Tifa had found Reno a really nice, sensible guy with a secure job and benefits. The guy knew of Reno and had been desperate to ask him out. Rude had already checked the man out, stating he was all aces. Perfect Daddy material.
Reno closed his eyes, still smiling. He would be having his baby girl sooner than he thought.
XXX
Reno awoke screaming. Orgasm shaking throughout his whole body. Confused eyes, dilated with sleep, darted around. Brain wondering what the heck was going on.
When he attempted to move, Reno realized his wrists had been bound tight, in a familiar SOLDIER knot Turks could never get out of.
When he tried to move his legs in the dark, Reno looked down, and screamed again.
Reno found himself staring at the top of Cloud Strife's chocobo-blonde head.
Cloud's tongue lapped Reno's female entrance like a dog.
Reno realized his penis ached. Why hadn't he ejaculated?
Glanced at his penis, lying stiff against his lower stomach, Reno swore. Fuckin' penis ring!
Nighttime assault was one thing. Reno had been trained to handle that with the Turks. The act a well-known torture method he had been taught to mentally distance himself from.
Reno could even handle the tied-up wrists. If he didn't twist his arms too much, he would be able to use his arms and hands tomorrow.
The penis ring made Reno struggle and scream, slamming bony heels down on Cloud's unheeding back. He couldn't stand a penis ring.
Reno's body convulsed again, when a second vaginal orgasm ran its course. Oh Gods! It hurt! Just take it off! Take the fucker off!
Grabbing the top of Cloud's bobbing head, Reno used his abdominal muscles to raise it enough, so he could look into Cloud's crazed eyes. "Strife! It's killin' me! Take it off! I'll let ya fuck my ass! I'll suck ya off! Just take the fuckin' ring off, yo!"
Cloud shook off Reno's grip. He rose up, till he was on his knees. Arms hanging on either side of his body.
The thought suddenly occurred to Reno that Cloud was naked. He had never seen Cloud Strife naked.
Reno may have been pissed-off, aching and scared. But he had to admit, rapid ocean-blue eyes moving up and down, Hojo had done good work.
Cloud Strife was a 5'8" picture of perfection.
Gaze moving back up to Cloud's face, Reno went from scared, to shit-faced terrified.
Reno could understand if Cloud's face showed hate, or disgust, or even lust.
Cloud looked almost robotic to Reno. Only the Mako-blue eyes showed the emotional state inside. No sanity could be found in the glow.
Cloud's eyes looked not at Reno's face. The orbs gazed past Reno's now-wilting penis towards his soaking female entrance.
Reno may have never finished school, but he could still put one and one together equals baby girl.
Reno attempted to shut his thighs.
Grabbing shaking knees in an iron grip, Cloud slammed them, facing outward back, onto the bed. This left Reno completely exposed.
In a last ditch attempt, Reno covered his entrance, with feeble bound hands.
Looking into Reno's overflowing eyes, Cloud snarled his dominance.
A whimpering Reno could think of only one thing to do. "Aerith! Aerith! Help me! Help me! You fuckin' said I could choose! A good Daddy! Aerith! Oh Gods! Help me! Aerith!"
Cloud shushed Reno, with a firm hand over his mouth. "Even if she hears you, Aerith can't stop me."
Crying even harder, Reno shook his head, trying to dislodge Cloud's hand. However, he stopped, though, when he heard what Cloud said next. "I met her, Reno. Our baby girl, in the Lifestream. I held her in my arms. She sang to me. Aerith already warned me to leave you be. You would choose who would be the Daddy. Aerith told me to leave you alone. It's been hard, dodging her these past two weeks, but I did it. I'm not going to do it anymore. I overheard Rude talking to you on his cell about the other guy."
Removing his hand from Reno's now slack mouth, Cloud wiped Reno's tears away with his thumb."Not going to happen. I'm sorry, Reno. She chose you for her Mommy, but no one else will be her Daddy but me."
Reno covered his face with his hands. "Ya lyin', Strife. My baby girl wouldn't come near ya. She's too good for ya, yo."
Laying himself over Reno's stiffened body, Cloud removed the penis ring from a now soft penis. He nestled his lips against Reno's ear. "She called me a liar too. She said I wanted to hurt her Mommy. She's just a baby. Of course, she doesn't know sex isn't hurting."
Reno tried to side-butt Cloud's head, but he moved out of the way.
Reno still wouldn't let Cloud see his face.
"She hid behind Aerith, like a good little Turk. We played tag. She's so fast. I think she has your moves. When I caught her, she punched me in the eye. She punches like you too."
A listening Reno, who had stopped crying, laughed out loud. "Serves you right, Fucker! Ain't no one gonna catch my baby girl without getting dealt, yo!"
"When I caught her, she calmed right away. She hugged my neck so tight. She sings so pretty, Reno. I can't wait until you hear her sing."
Enthralled by his baby girl's antics, Reno uncovered his face. Unconsciously leaning forward, he enticed Cloud with his natural scent, overlaid with the musk of sex. "What's she look like, Cloud? What's my baby girl look like, yo?"
Resting a powerful hand against Reno's cheek, Cloud petted his fiery red hair. "She's the spittin' image of her Mommy, of course. Right down to the glare you always give me when you're pissed off, or maybe horny, like right now."
Reno had been hypnotized by Cloud's words about his baby girl. This was the only way he could justify the next self-damning actions.
Raising bound hands up, Reno allowed Cloud to slip his head between Reno's arms, and jam his tongue down Reno's throat.
The couple tasted each other to the fullest.
Reno ground his groin against Cloud's thigh, smearing his juices along the pale skin. He opened thighs wide to receive Cloud.
Cloud entered Reno with one thrust, breaking through the virginity like issue paper.
Reno released a scream into Cloud's mouth. He felt throbbing pain and knew he bled. Ignoring the ache, for now, he concentrated on grinding his body against Cloud's.
Reaching between their joined bodies, Cloud began to fist Reno's renewed erection.
Reno tore his mouth away from Cloud's. "Fuck, Cloud! NO! Too much! Too much! Ah! Ah! Guh! Ah!"
After raising himself back on his knees, Cloud picked up Reno's hips. He slammed Reno's pelvis down onto his erection, while thrusting up.
Leaving deep gouge marks in Cloud's shoulders, Reno screamed, trying to meet Cloud's thrusts with his own. He never knew! He never knew sex could feel this good! He didn't want this to end, but he needed his baby girl now!
Reno struggled, pulling himself up, to yell in Cloud's ear. "Cloud! She's waiting for us! Remember? Give her to me! Give her to me now!"
Nodding he heard, Cloud punctuated the affirmation by twisting Reno's erection, so Reno ejaculated screaming.
Feeling Reno's convulsing body squeeze the orgasm from him, Cloud laid Reno back on the bed. He held Reno's pelvis still while he came, shooting searing hot sperm into Reno's womb.
Reno's eyes widened, when he realized Cloud came inside him, but remained silent.
Looking up towards Cloud's face, Reno jerked back.
Cloud stared right through Reno, like he had focused his whole being towards one goal.
Rested still-bound hands on one of Cloud's shoulders, Reno concentrated on accepting everything Cloud gave him.
Running long fingers through golden chocobo hair, Reno patted Cloud's face, until Cloud came back to him.
Collapsing to the side, Cloud brought Reno's body along with him, to rest on his chest.
Reno drew little designs on Cloud's chest until Cloud spoke. "She did that too, when Aerith wanted me to give her back."
Reno sat up a little, so he could gaze into Cloud's face.
Cloud smiled at the memory. "I got upset. I never wanted to let her go. I think I might have started to hold her too hard. She never got scared. She didn't cry. She just ran her baby fingers through my hair, and patted my face, until I came back."
Resting his forearms on Cloud's chest, Reno held Cloud's face in his hands. "Cloud? I have nightmares every night about droppin' the Plate on Sector 7. I'm just hopin' my baby girl will still love me, when she hears about it. But I ain't trash and it's obvious I don't make your skin crawl, since I'm lookin' at ya. So you better be on the up-and-up, or I'll find some way to kill off ya whiny ass. Regenerative powers or not, yo!"
Cloud embraced Reno tight. "I'm sorry, Reno. About everything. I'll make it right. I promise. You, me, and Baby Girl. We'll have a good life from now on. I swear."
Reno resting his head in the exact same spot their baby girl did back in the Lifestream. Reaching up, he play-punched Cloud in the eye. "Better! Or ya know what you'll be missin', yo!"
