Summary: Reno has decided to finally introduce Kiani to his parents. Oh God, what has he done? Two-shot RenoxOC
AU004. Meet the Parents Part 1 of 2
Reno Sinclair and his recent bride, Kiani, sat in the car in a tense silence. The redhead gripped the steering wheel so hard his knuckles paled to a faint white. Kiani stared straight ahead, noticing that with every turn they took to get to his parent's house, the tenser her husband got.
At a stoplight, she dared to speak.
"Should I be afraid?" she timidly asked him. Reno jumped, his foot slipping off the brake, almost sending them into traffic before he halted the car once more. He looked at his wife, ignoring the green light that just turned and the honking horns behind them.
"You shouldn't be afraid," the redhead replied in an almost breathless voice. He pressed the gas and shot through the intersection, sending Kiani back into her seat.
Then why are you so tense?" she then dared to ask. Reno turned into the driveway of a bungalow and parked. His face paled when he saw the curtains move from an upstairs window, quaking in his seat.
"You should be terrified," he whimpered out as a stick of a woman exited the home. She looked like she could model for the cover of Vogue magazine. Kiani said as much and Reno barked out a humorless laugh. "The thing is, Mom has been on the cover of Vogue . . . several times. . ." he trailed off as he cringed while watching his mother parade down the driveway to their car.
The next thing Kiani knew, her door was open and she was dragged out of the car into a voluptuous embrace. She slowly started to suffocate.
"Mother, will you please let her go? She isn't used to being smothered with affection," Reno said as he slowly got out of the car. The red haired woman paused in her 'gifting of affection,' as she liked to call her hugs, to look at her middle son. "Mom, she's choking." The woman looked at the twenty-three year old in her arms. There was a blue tinge to her face. The model suddenly let her go and the Shinra secretary gulped in air, almost greedily. She wasn't completely let go of, however. Kiani was able to bring her hands up to massage the feeling back into her throat. Her diamond ring reflected the sun and Mama Sinclair gasped upon spotting it. She snatched the poor girl's hand away from her throat to scrutinize the ring more closely.
"It's beautiful! Oh my lord. Richard!" she started to call. "Richard!"
"I think Dad's in the house," Reno mentioned nervously, dreading his parents' reaction.
"Come on, Sweetie, let's go inside the house. Reno's got the bags, don't you dear?" she asked, her eyes glinting malevolently in the sunlight. Reno gulped as he grabbed the 3 suitcases he and Kiani brought along. He trailed behind his mother and wife as the former bounced into the house. "Richard!" A man, tall and graying, emerged from his office. He was definitely the image of what Reno would look like after thirty years.
"Yes dear?" the man asked as he briefly glanced over his second born son to make sure everything was still in the right place before his eyes passed over the woman next to him, who looked like she was going to get eaten. Knowing how enthusiastic his wife could be, the man could sympathize.
"Richard! Look at this promise ring! Isn't it gorgeous?" the red headed model asked her husband. Before the businessman could reply, Reno cut in.
"Mom, it's not a promise ring." He gulped as his mother turned to glare at him.
"An engagement ring?" she asked in a deadly whisper. Kiani decided to speak up as Reno shook his head.
"Um. . .it's a wedding ring." Silence followed her statement.
A/N: Do I need any explanations? :D I made this because my sister started it, and I wanted to make it better. She let me, and voila! Reno and her OC, Kiani, have a strange past together. And because this is AU, all bets are off.
This I actually wrote about a year and a half after I wrote the second part to this. :D Just cause I wanted their trip to Hell-I mean, to home.
