Disclaimer:I do not own FF7 or the characters within. (Though I have had a sexual fantasy about owning Reno. ..RROWL!) This fic contains YAOI, and Non-consensual yaoi at that, so if rape/same-gender sex bothers you, read no further than this disclaimer. The title is the title of an Evanescence song, but this is NOT a songfic.
Summary: Have you ever had one of those days where everything that can go wrong DOES go wrong? It is just such a day for Reno Tarshill of the Turks. First he blows a mission, and when he does so he is kidnapped and, tortured, and raped by his target. R+R please.
"Oh God.. .Reno, what happened to you?" The bald Turk with his perpetual pair of sunglasses perched on his face was usually a man of few words, but upon seeing his redheaded partner and dearest friend in the condition in which he had just found him, propped beneath the Loveless sign in Sector 7, the words were shocked out of him.
The tall, slender man lifted those icey green eyes to meet the darkened lenses and then looked back down at his tattered navy blue uniform, the blazer was missing all of its buttons, as was the shirt, both were torn in numerous places, and he was missing his pants, underwear, socks, and black dress shoes. There was blood caked on the insides of those pale, slender legs, and his entire body trembled so hard his bones rattled. "R-Rude...p-please...just take me home?"
Rude simply nodded and lifted the battered form up into his arms. There was no need for him to say more at the time, nor would he press the younger man to tell him what had happened, though from his missing clothing and the blood which coated his thighs, Rude could guess pretty well. "You're bleeding pretty bad, partner...we should get you some medical attention."
Reno's eyes widened, and he shoook his head urgently. "No. . .please. . ." his voice came out a pleading whisper. "Then everyone would know. ..I'd be the laughingstock of the Turks. . ." he turned his head away those eyes beginning to drift closed. "The Turk who got raped by his target"
"I'm not giving you a choice." Rude's grip was like iron, no matter how the smaller man struggled it would be fruitless. He carried him all the way across town, his expression fairly DARING anyone they passed to question the circumstances that brought a Turk to such a situation.
Reno laid his head against his partner's chest, simply taking in the sound of that strong, sure beating. Despite the man rarely speaking to anyone but him, that was a big, kind heart that thrummed against his ear. His eyes finally closed as he drifted into blackness right there, feeling as safe as one possibly could feel after the experience he had gone through.
