The man with the stoic demeanour

He was the man who lived a "no-nonsense" lifestyle. He followed the orders of his boss at work and spent sufficient time with his circle of friends. He lived a life of solitude outside his professional life, but he was not unhappy. He was Rude of the Turks.

Now Rude was a man who always kept his emotions under check. He would hardly ever let a blush creep up his cheeks, or a smile lift his lips unless those actions were absolutely genuine. He was a man of few words, for he did not like to speak unless necessary. The polar opposite of his co-worker and best friend Reno, Rude lived a well-balanced life with little or no complications. His life was good, except for one major predicament.

Rude of the Turks was in love with a woman, and he had no way of expressing himself to her. That woman was Tifa Lockheart, barmaid, AVALANCHE member, and also the most intriguing woman Rude had ever met.


Author's note: So what do you all think? I personally like this fic so far and plan on continuing it. It won't be a romance exactly, just Rude's thoughts about Tifa and such. Oh, and I got this idea from that that moment in the game where Rude admits to Reno that he likes Tifa. I thought that part was too cute to pass up. Anyway, this note is too long now, so Review please! Ciao
