This is not about love

Two people use each other for very different reasons. A ficlet about the sexual trysts of Tifa and Reno implied in 'Leda and the Swan'

They were lovers before friends.

Enemies before allies.

Together, they somehow lit a spark from loneliness and burned everything down with uncontrollable desire.

He tried to teach her that dwelling on the past was useless. And pleasure should always come first.

It certainly had in the beginning.

Hands dug into and against skin with unforgiving need; the evidence of their sex branding. Bruises were trophies and cuts respected medals; an agreement written in blood.

Tifa craved him because he never hesitated. Not when she hit him or especially when she demanded it to be returned.

The Turk was painfully addicted; obeying without question.

Blue harshly clashed against red as Reno wore her hero's clothing.

An assassin hiding under a lie.

It's proud material caressed in corruption whenever she made Reno fuck her as someone he wasn't.

But it didn't matter. Hips buckled aggressively. She was on-top again, fully exposed. Tifa's hands roughly squeezed around his neck, feeling the strength of his trust and her misplaced anger.

Reno's eyes blurred, hypnotized by the plastic stars that stuck to her ceiling; she kept them as a reminder of failed promises and childhood fabrications.

A distracting glowing green.

They continued to fight against each other as she begged for agony and the control danced to Reno.

Serious punches and seductive violence followed; it was honest.

Mutually desired in psychologically confusing ways.

Neither held back while spattered blood and broken bones melted their bodies together in perfect release, shaking the regret away.

He worshiped her with screaming Tifa's name though his was never returned.

Just stillness and the warmth of heal materia.

Voyeur stars watched them collapse into each other as their judgmental lies continued to mock her.

It was time to throw them away.

Cloud was never coming back.

And it was time to move on.

A/N: This was a fun little look into the strange relationship rebound of TifaxReno. It coincides with my story 'Leda and the Swan' which I recommend checking out if you enjoyed this. I definitely can see Tifa loving kinky rough sex. And Reno in my opinion is a total obliging switch. This was a lot of fun to write, short but intended to be. As always, I appreciate your thoughts and thank you for reading.
