AN: Ok, so, never considered this pairing much to be honest but it does have a certain appeal, although to me it can never be a romantic or fluffy relationship. Anyway, here's my attempt at a Reno/Cloud PWP thingy. I do hope you enjoy. :)
The Sin's We Commit
The bar was quiet when Cloud crept downstairs, he looked around to ensure no one was around before heading towards the bar area to get himself a drink. He was tired and it was dark outside but he knew he wouldn't sleep, the nightmares were simply too much. He opened the fridge behind the bar and brought out a cold can of beer before popping the top and listening to that familiar fizz, he shut the door with his boot and walked to one of the tables, Tifa would not be happy to find him stealing from the stocks but at that moment he couldn't care less, the cold beer tasted good on his parched throat and it calmed his nerves somewhat.
There was a soft noise from outside, any normal person wouldn't have heard it but Cloud immediately tensed, he stood up slowly, one hand reaching for the sword he always kept nearby. His fingers closed over the handle, leather creaking as he listened to the light, loping footsteps outside draw closer. The person was obviously trying not to make any noise, if their footsteps were anything to go by, they were good at keeping quiet and Cloud had an idea that he knew who it was. He moved to the front door, his sword hanging loosely in his hand as he went, a frown on his face as he listened to them pause outside the door, then, just as the handle rattled Cloud lifted a boot kicked at it hard, sending the door crashing into the person on the other side. There was loud curse and a thud, Cloud smiled a little with satisfaction as he took another sip of his beer and stepped into the star light.
"Ow! Ow! Damn it, yo! What ya thinkin' man?" Reno cursed, holding his nose as blood dripped into his palm. "You nearly broke my damn nose, yo!"
Cloud didn't even pretend he was sorry, he lifted his sword in one hand and pointed the tip at Reno's throat, making him pause in the process of brushing himself down. "What do you want?" He demanded softly.
"I aint here to start trouble, yo. You wanna go inside? It's cold out here."
Cloud's frown deepened but he lowered his weapon and moved back into the bar, he spotted Tifa standing in the door way and staring at the mess of her door with raised eyebrows, he saw that she was wearing her gloves, prepared to fight. "Cloud...what happened?" She asked, lifting her eyes and spotting Reno who was cleaning up his bloody face.
"Yo, Tifa. Long time." He said and smiled.
"Reno...Cloud, what's going on?"
"He tried to sneak into the bar, I surprised him." Cloud replied, trying to subtly hide the stolen beer in his hand behind his back.
"I gotta talk to your boyfriend, miss." Reno said. "Important business."
"Well, ok, just try to keep it down, the kid's are asleep." Tifa turned away but paused, looking over her shoulder at Cloud and glaring at him. "If you're going to take my beer please be sure to pay for it, Cloud. It's bad enough that half of my stock disappears when Cid comes for a visit, we can't afford to keep replacing stock."
"Sorry." Cloud muttered, looking chastised but giving her a small smile that she returned. "I'll be up soon."
"Good. It was nice seeing you Reno." Tifa gave the Turk a smile and brushed her hair over her shoulder, Cloud watched it fall to the small of her back.
"I'll make it quick, yo...I suspect you wanna get back to that." Reno said with a low whistle. "That night dress was short-" Once again he was faced by Cloud's sword and he held both hands up in a placating gesture, smirking a little as he eyed the point warily.
"What do you want, Turk?"
"Hey, man, I'm jus' sayin', not tryin' to take your girl. Like I said, I'm here to talk, nothin' more, yo."
"Business?" Cloud said as he lowered himself into his seat, Reno watched him and a small frown crossed his face, Cloud was walking stiffly, he had taken a fighting stance that protected his side and he wasn't using his sword in both hands, but that may have been the fact that he didn't want to spill his drink.
Reno nodded and took a seat opposite. "You ok, yo?" He asked as he eyed Cloud curiously. "You're not yourself."
Cloud turned his head away, looking down at his boots as he took a sip of his beer. "Just tell me why you're here."
"All right, fine." Reno shrugged, he opened his mouth to pass on the message he had been given but before he could Cloud's whole body tensed, his blue eyes widened and the beer fell from his hand to hit the floor. He grunted, grabbing his left arm with the right hand and bent double in his chair. "Yo, Cloud, you all right?" Reno dived around the table and reached for him but Cloud lifted his head and sent him a glare that made him back off, those Mako enhanced eyes were terrifying, even for a Turk. After a moment Cloud seemed to relax a little, he looked up and Reno saw sweat staining his skin, his eyes were glazed in pain and his left hand twitched. "You're sick, yo." Reno said quietly, his eyes moving to the door way that led into the main house. "Does your girl know?" Cloud shook his head.
"Doesn't...matter...just tell me what you're here for and get out." Cloud rasped, lowering his head again, Reno gazed at him before slowly dipping his hand into his pocket and pulling out a tube of some strange substance along with a syringe. "What's...that?"
"This is somethin' the ShinRa scientists cooked up when the stigma first came around, yo. We're developing it for people with the disease, to help them."
"A...cure...?" Cloud's eyes lit up with hope, it was so badly suppressed that Reno felt sick when he shook his head.
"Sorry, yo...no cure yet. This is a mixture of the stuff they gave SOLDIER, a stimulant that suppresses the pain. Normally we're told ta jus' keep the dose low, because normal people would react badly to it I guess but I spect you could cope with it." He held out the items and Cloud gazed at them for a moment. "It's fine, yo. This batch was intended for someone else but I reckon you need it more." He reached out and took the phial from Reno's hand, he stared at it for a moment before looking back up.
"Mako?"
"Yeah, among other things."
Cloud took a breath and nodded before taking the syringe, he was in so much pain he was willing to do anything to dull it. He pulled back the leather sleeve covering his Geostigma, Reno hissed air through his teeth as he saw the black stained bandage, but Cloud ignored him as he filled the syringe and let out a slow breath. Reno watched the needle pierce the inner flesh of Cloud's muscled arm, he winced inwardly, that had to hurt. When the syringe was empty Cloud let it fall from lax fingers, he lowered his head and waited. A soft gasp escaped his lips as the medicine took affect, it was like a wave of warmth and numbness washing through his body, he groaned heavily as sweat broke out across his skin. Reno stepped back as Cloud slipped to the floor, sitting on his knees and lifting a hand to his head. "Hey, you ok man?" Reno asked nervously, when Cloud looked up his eyes were glowing brightly in the gloom, it looked as if the very lifestream was swimming in them.
"Yeah...I'm feeling better..." He whispered and looked down at the syringe before picking it up. "I hate to say it but...thanks."
"You used the whole lot?" Reno asked with wide eyes. "Wow. I know this guy who's addicted to the stuff, watch yourself, yo."
Cloud sat back down in his chair with a soft sigh, he tipped his head back revealing his throat and a low moan escaped his parted lips. Reno watched in fascination as his Adams apple bobbed as he swallowed, the noises Cloud was making were almost sexual in nature and Reno shifted uncomfortably. "He told me it was the mako that made him feel like this..." Cloud muttered, his voice slurring a little as he slumped further into his seat. "Always thought he was just using it as an excuse." He lifted a hand and swept hair from his forehead before opening his glowing eyes and turning them on Reno, he smiled drunkenly. "He couldn't keep his hands off of me when he had been to the labs, not that I was complaining, really."
"Who you talkin' about, yo?" Reno asked curiously.
Cloud chuckled softly, the medicine was making him act strange, for starters Reno was pretty sure he hadn't heard him talk so much before. "Zack." He breathed, eyes brightening with memory.
"Zack? You mean that First Class SOLDIER who was in the reactor with you?"
"Uh-huh." Cloud's smile widened.
"I thought you were into Tifa!" Reno exclaimed.
"I am." Cloud replied.
"So...so you an' Zack were...together?"
"You could say that." He groaned again, one hand going to his sleeveless jumper and slowly unzipping it. "It's hot." He whispered, Reno felt his eyes being drawn to his chest where a scar was now visible just between his ribs. He vaguely remembered Tseng explaining that Cloud had been run through with Masamune and somehow survived, and that was before the enhancements.
"So the Mako is a-an aphrodisiac?" Reno somehow managed to tear his gaze away from Cloud's chest, he had always thought Cloud was pretty but he had never contemplated ever trying it on, after all, they had been enemies once upon a time. He swallowed as he watched a drop of perspiration slip down Cloud's throat, he had to blink forcefully to bring his mind out of the gutter. Another moan from Cloud brought Reno's attention to his hand as it slid down his body, he seemed barely even aware of what he was doing. It was as if he had been drugged. "Hey, do you...do you remember what Hojo did to you in that lab?" Reno's voice dropped to whisper, he gazed at Cloud intently, hoping he wasn't pushing things but he had a morbid curiosity and he had to try to satisfy it.
Cloud opened his eyes half way and smiled at Reno, he giggled lightly. "Hojo was a mental case." He said and his eyes flickered, briefly becoming as green as Sephiroth's. "I remember...pieces. My memories were destroyed mostly by the Jenova cells, I only have a few of that time...I remember Zack...I remember Nibelheim during the fire...I..." He trailed off seeming to stare out into space. "I remember him."
"Sephiroth?" Reno whispered eagerly, he really was a twisted individual, to be so turned on by Cloud's obviously drugged and weakened state.
Cloud nodded, his smile reappearing, this time however it was as twisted as Reno's thoughts. "Sephiroth..." He sighed in a way that made Reno's arms prickle. "I used to have the biggest crush on him."
"What?!" Reno's eyes widened and then he laughed. "Tha's funny, yo."
"I suppose it is." Cloud closed his eyes again and his hand, the one that had been creeping down his body, slipped over the front of his trousers, Reno's breathing became ragged. "Mmm...He only showed interest in me later on though, after Hojo's experiments...I suppose that can't be helped but when I gave him the black materia he was able to be himself again and we..." Cloud trailed off again, his chest beginning to rise and fall rapidly as a small frown creased his brow, Reno's eyes were glued to his hand as the gloved fingers trailed over his crotch.
"You...with Sephiroth...?" Reno breathed, wide eyed in fascination.
"Yeah." Cloud opened his eyes again and gazed up at the ceiling. "Still can't get rid of him. He...tainted me...made me like him...I...I'm a monster. I hear him sometimes, speaking my name in that voice of his, it's like...like coming home."
"Man, tha's fucked up." Reno muttered.
"Yeah, it kind of is, isn't it?" Cloud's eyes landed on Reno for a long, intense moment before he stood up, he swayed violently and fell into a wall, putting a hand to his head as he laughed softly to himself. Reno got up and moved to help him automatically but suddenly felt fingers dig into the tops of his arms, he had time to gasp before lips were pressed to his. He stumbled forward a little, pressing Cloud's body into the wall and opening his mouth to push his tongue past those enticing lips. He groaned heavily into Cloud's mouth, pulling one arm free of Cloud's fingers and pushing a hand deep into his soft blond hair. "Mm-fuck...I need you...now." Cloud muttered, biting at Reno's bottom lip and causing him to gasp. He turned Cloud around and slammed him onto the table, causing it to slip away from them slightly, but neither were bothered by it. Reno grabbed Cloud's hands in his own and pinned them to the firm surface as he plundered his mouth desperately. It wasn't as if he had never considered it before, Cloud had a strange vulnerability about him that, coupled with his obvious strength, made him impossible not to fantasise about. He was beautiful, his hair as soft as down, his body hard and evenly muscled, he was a man of contradictions and Reno found him fascinating. It was also the danger Cloud posed, Reno had always had a thing for danger and thrills, and now he was plunging head long into something that could destroy them both and he did it with all the eagerness of a child leaping from a swing. Cloud was rough, bucking and grinding against him, a frown on his face as he virtually attacked Reno's mouth with his own, hissing hot breath over his cheek. Reno smirked and pulled back, putting a hand on Cloud's partially exposed chest, holding him still. He used his free hand to pull open his trousers and belt before running a hand to Cloud's clothed erection, he watched as Cloud's back arched and he groaned heavily.
"Just...hurry up, Turk." He breathed, hair a mess around his face and eyes still glowing fiercely.
"I can see what Sephiroth saw in you, yo." Reno said before leaning down and cutting off Cloud's reply with another kiss, he pulled open Cloud's loose trousers and began trying to yank them down to his knees. "Fuck...stupid things...won't...come...off..."
Cloud pulled away long enough to help him, he lifted his hips up so that Reno could ease them off. When he was exposed he lifted himself onto his hands and began trailing kisses over Reno's jaw, Reno in turn grabbed a handful of Cloud's hair and yanked his head back roughly, it must have hurt but Cloud made no sound except a tiny smirk that lifted the corners of his mouth. He was obviously used to the rough treatment, perhaps even got off on it a little, that was fine by Reno. He had to admit that the man was an excellent kisser, he could do things with his tongue that Reno had assumed were impossible, Zack must have taught him well. He wrapped the fingers of one hand around Cloud's cock, watching in delight as he moaned heavily and tipped his head back, slowly he moved his hand up and down its length, squeezing occasionally and simply admiring Cloud's every reaction. "You gunna make me come before I even get to the best part, yo." He whispered hoarsely and ceased his casual ministrations.
"Just hurry up." Cloud demanded again, kicking off the rest of his trousers and opening his legs wider, inviting Reno in with a look that resembled the one he wore when entering a fight. Reno loved it, he always enjoyed a challenge.
It was brutal, they used no lubrication, no preparation and it must have been agony for Cloud but he barely made a sound as Reno pushed into him. Cloud's hands gripped Reno's jacket tightly in his fists, he threw his head back, mouth open and eyes firmly shut. Reno was pretty sure that he wasn't mentally with him, he was likely thinking of another but he didn't really care. Sex was sex, after all, a good fuck after a hard days work was just what he needed, who cared what the other was thinking? Reno began to move his hips, entranced by Cloud's face as it twisted in pain and pleasure, he listened to his ragged breaths, his muffled moans and the soft curses that he let fall. Sweat ran down his face, sticking bright red hair to his cheeks as he moved and never let his eyes wonder from his partners. Cloud's own eyes were glazed, their bright glow slowly changing colour as he arched his back, swearing like a sailor and lifted his legs to wrap them tightly around Reno's waist. They turned green, his pupils dilated and when he blinked they too had changed. "Fuck me...S-Sephi-nnng..." Reno smirked to himself, hoping that Cloud would remember this in the morning and quickened his pace as the heat in his abdomen increased. He wanted to make Cloud lose himself, to watch him come completely undone, the famous SOLDIER-failure-turned-Hero. The man who had caused Reno so many problems when ShinRa had been strong, he wanted to hear him scream his name. He leaned down and captured Cloud's lips, yanking on his hair again while his other hand dug nails deep into Cloud's exposed hip. He shared hot breaths, eyes closing momentarily before snapping open again as he tried to regain control, he was rapidly losing against the pull of desire coursing through his veins. It was so good to have Cloud pushed against the table, underneath him, writhing and begging incoherently that he finally felt his muscles clench.
"Oh...shit...Cloud!" He gasped as he felt his orgasm rushing through him, he watched Cloud's eyes widen, they met his and Cloud's body tensed too. He felt hot liquid coat their bodies, wet and sticky between them as Reno finally collapsed on top of Cloud, breathing heavily and smiling in the post coital bliss. Cloud shook slightly beneath him, eyes closed as he regained control of his breathing, when they opened again they were back to their shining blue, like the sky in the summer. "Beautiful." Reno whispered and Cloud blinked, seeming to come back to himself a little.
Abruptly Cloud sat up, wincing as Reno was forced to pull away from him. He put a hand to his head and blushed like a little girl. "What did we just-? Did you do that deliberately?"
"I aint a rapist, yo!" Reno replied indignantly. "You came on to me, I've never seen anyone react like that to the medicine before."
"I-I...I see...I'm sorry." Cloud muttered, gazing down at his soiled clothes, his abdomen was covered in his own semen and Reno resisted the urge to lick it off and begin the whole thing again. He zipped up his fly, realising he would have somehow sneak into Healin' Lodge without anyone noticing him, which was difficult when the guards were fellow Turks. His shirt was stained, his trousers crumpled and where his chest was exposed he could see marks, marks that would become bruises in time.
"I'm not." Reno said, covering his ruined shirt by doing up his blazer. "That was worth it, yo. You're good."
Cloud flushed again, his eyes hinting that if Reno continued he would get angry. He stood up on shaking knees and Reno had a chance to get a good long look at his bare ass as he bent and picked up his trousers, quickly putting them on again. Cloud didn't wear underwear. Reno's mouth filled with saliva at the thought, he would have to do this again, it was too good to pass up. Cloud paused and, without looking at Reno, spoke in a hushed voice. "Can you get hold of some more of that stuff?" He asked.
"Sure...but it's bein' made by the WRO now, Reeve Tuesti'll have some."
"I can't go to Reeve...or anyone for that matter. Can you get me some?" He repeated, turning and gazing straight into Reno's eyes. "I'll make it worth your while."
Reno smirked. "For that, I can get you a years supply, yo." He replied, folding his arms across his chest and watching Cloud turn his head away a little, as if in shame.
"I don't think I will need that much." He muttered softly, "I don't think I have that much time left."
