Match This!

"Boss... It's too hot, boss."
"Stop whining. It's what you get."
"You mean it's what we have."
"And it's no less than what you deserve."
Reno leaned back in the barstool, shirt open and sweating with the fan blowing down his chest. It must've been 90 degrees outside but Rufus insisted he wear his full suit. That was the last thing he needed on a day so hot but he had no place to argue. If he tried, he would've had his pay docked. Despite his secure standing with the president, Rufus wasn't above withholding cash if Reno annoyed him.
So he kept the damn suit on.
They chased a guy all the way from Midgar to Costa Del Sol in the hope of turning him upside down to shake some money from his pockets. Once the heat finally got to Reno, he decided he would just have to break him like a picky bank when he caught him instead.
Damn elusive prick, he thought, taking a sip of his beer. Stealin' money from Shinra...
Maybe the situation wasn't so bad though. On the bright side, if he caught the embezzler, there was a chance he could sweet-talk Rufus into letting them stay there a little longer. That way they could appreciate the weather instead.
It was hard to refuse his mind the luscious image of Rufus laying shirtless on the beach. He could grab some lotion and...
Whatever. For now he was stuck in the shitty un-air conditioned bar. He deserved some rest. Moreover, he deserved to take his suit jacket off at the very least. If it were up to him, it would've been his entire suit coming off.
"Reno?"
"..." A little too dazed. "What?"
"I think I see him outside."
Reno shot up straight and almost fell off the stool. "Seriously? Shit, which way!"
"Heading toward the beach. He's wearing sunglasses and a black fedora. Really hard to miss."
Hard to miss. Sure. That's why he's been so easy to chase. Yeah right.
Reno glared at him spitefully. "If I catch him, expect me to come back naked. That's just a heads up."
"A... what?"
Forcefully, Reno grabbed Rufus' necktie and pulled him closer so their lips met. Some customers undoubtedly saw it but Reno could really care less.
"HIS ASS IS MINE."
And with that, Reno charged out the door.
"D-does he know there were people here?"
It was obvious that Reno wanted to fulfill that promise.
Author's Notes: I thought some off-color humor might be appreciated. I'm beating the deadline for my 30kisses claim by only about a week. I had a picture I drew that more or less inspired this one but I didn't like the picture so much and I thought it would just be faster to write something. This was for "#16, invincible, unrivaled". I hope you enjoyed!
