Chapter 1: Expectations and Unexpected offers
The light was dim in the restaurant but she could still see the man that was sitting in front of her. She was sure she was blushing and that he could hear her heart beating loudly. Her stomach was filled with butterflies. She smiled slightly. How could she not? She was filled with joy. "Elena." The man said. She looked him straight in the eyes. They were cold. as always. Her smile erased from her face. He showed no sign of affection whatsoever. 'So you don't love me? Do you?' She thought. 'So he won't ever return my love.' She looked down she couldn't look at him in the face anymore.
"Yes sir." She said in a melancholic tone.
"Elena, you can just call me Tseng now." He affirmed. She nodded. "Well, shall I carry on?" Tseng asked but started without an answer, "You see Elena, I realize you just became a Turk," He paused for a minute. "But you need to be more." He searched for the right word.
"Professional." She finished for him. He looked into her eyes they weren't cold like his own and they had a tint of sadness to them. He looked a little shocked from her being able to finish off his sentence perfectly. But the emotion quickly faded away. That's just the way it was. Never show emotion, never be hurt, and never be weak. Unwritten codes of the Turks. Elena seemed to break the first one all too often. He realized that she still had a heart and a soul unlike the rest of them. Become merciless, be cruel, and never compromise with the enemy. She certainly was merciless in battle he had to give her that but she wasn't cruel. She showed no compassion for Cloud and his friends. She almost had a strange animosity towards them. Especially Aeris. Aeris, for there in laid Tseng's weakness. Never fall in love with an enemy. For he had broken that long ago when he first laid his ebony eyes on the flower girl. Elena gave a quick glance towards her leader who seemed deep in thought. He was staring out her. She got an uneasy feeling it was almost like he was trying to look inside her mind. She tried to shake the feeling but it wouldn't leave. They went through dinner with little to no conversation. Both seemed like they couldn't look each other straight in the eye. Tseng told her more of being professional and tact. She just nodded and mumbled responses. So came an end to there dinner. Elena laid some gil on the table and said something about how it should cover half of the cost. Then she got up and walked off. Tseng looked a bit shocked. Again his emotions quickly faded.
Elena walked quickly away from the restaurant. She tried to choke back tears but she couldn't help it. Her light brown eyes shut and she let the warm tears fall down her face. She started to run home. When she got to the door the realization hit her. She remembered she had been sharing an apartment with Tseng, until she could get her own. She cursed the timing under her breath. She figured that Tseng wouldn't be home yet. She opened up the door with the key she kept under the mat. The air in the apartment was soothing but it only made her think of Tseng.
She snuck inside and grabbed a few things. Then left and locked the door. She left no trace that she was there. She slung the bag that carried her things over her shoulder and started to walk, to no destination in particular. 'Somewhere to go. Anywhere.' She thought. She sighed and sat down on a bench when she was a far distance away from the apartment.
"Elena, what the hell are you doing here?" A familiar voice rang out.
"Reno, why is your ghost talking to me?" She replied in a depressed tone looking down at the ground instead of towards the voice.
"Oh damn did I die and you actually figure that out?" Reno retorted.
"Shut up, you damn Reno ghost." She snapped still looking down.
"Boo." Reno said inches from Elena's face.
"EEKK-" He covered her mouth with his hand. "MMMPH!! MM-NN-MMM?!! LLMMM?!" Translation: Reno!! What the hell are you doing?! How did you sneak up on me like that?!
"How did I sneak up on you?" Reno said taking a wild guess at what she was saying.
"MM-NMMN!!!" Translation: Let go of me you jerk!!!
"Chill babe! I'm not gonna hurt ya." He let her go.
"SCREW YOU, YOU JERK!!!!"
"What's with the pack? You leaving me? Aww c'mon baby we can work it out!" Reno said sarcastically. She shot him a glare that had "Oh.. Don't make me hit you" written all over it. "I was just kiddin 'Lena babe."
"Well unless you know any cheap hotels around here I'm outta here."
"Oh so you need a place to stay, eh? Having boyfriend troubles Elena dear?"
"Shut up and tell me where I can go. Before I really do hit you.hard... with meaning."
"No prob! You can stay at my place!"
"You try anything and I kill you."
"Are you implying I'm a pervert?!"
"Yes, yes I am."
"And you're accepting my offer at the same time?"
"Yup that's about the gist of it."
"This is going to be a long night."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Welcome to my place!" Reno welcomed her opening the door. She looked inside and her eyes widened.
"This place.. Is a pigsty!" She groaned. 'Then again I shouldn't have expected any less. This is Reno we're talking about. I should have just stayed at Tseng's. After all I could have handled awkward silence for the whole night.' "Yes, nice awkward silence. Hahahaha" Well Elena didn't realize she actually said that last part but she did.
"Uh. Right.. 'Lena you ok?" Reno gave her an odd look.
"Wha? Oh yeah sure. Anyways, thanks for letting me stay."
"No problem! Now you wake me up before 9 you never stay again! Got it?"
"Uh. Got it." She walked in and set her stuff down while Reno tossed the paper bag he was carrying on the table. She heard him walk into the kitchen and rummage through the fridge.
"Beer is good. Very, very good." Reno said sipping the alcohol (Remember kiddies: don't listen to Uncle Reno about beer until you're at the age when you can drink!! ^______^ this notice brought to you by: Cait Sith's fortune telling: If he thinks your fortune is suspicious he'll follow you around FOREVER! Muahahahahahaha! Made and controlled by Reeve) "Here," He offered presenting the bottle to Elena. "You've obviously had a bad day."
"No thanks, I don't drink much." She declined.
"Suit yourself." Reno plopped down on the couch and began flipping through the TV channels.
Elena rose from crouching down over her small pile of things on the floor, and looked around the apartment more. Empty pizza boxes and beer bottles were scattered about the coffee table along with a few magazines that Elena didn't even want to know were about but could take a good guess. Discarded clothes hung across chairs and the couch. She made her way over to the table where the bag that Reno left sat. She looked inside: 'a bottle of beer, a magazine, a carton of cigarettes, and. What the?!' ".Oh Reno what are these?" She said waving a small packet of hair ties in front of him.
He blinked a couple times then looked up at her. "Why are you going through my stuff?" She shrugged her shoulders.
"I dunno. Boredom? But why do you have hair ties?!"
"Gee I wonder Sherlock." He sat up and took the tie he had currently holding his fiery red hair in a ponytail out.
"I know that stupid!"
"Then why'd ya ask genius?!"
"Because why do use hair ties and not just a rubber band?!"
"Why are you yelling?!"
"Why are YOU yelling?!"
"Why don't ya shut up then?!"
"You!!"
"You're giving me a headache!"
"You always give me a headache!!"
"You're a bitch!"
"You're a pervert!"
"Ditz!"
"Asshole!"
"Dumb ass!"
"Lazy ass!"
"Why are we arguing about hair ties?!"
"I dunno!!"
They both shut up then. Then they just stared at each other for a second. Elena looked into his turquoise eyes. They seemed softer then Tseng's cold eyes. Then she seemed almost comforted by just being there with him. She smiled.
"Whaaaaaat?" Reno said half whining.
"Thanks for letting me come here," She said sounding much more at ease then before.
Haha don't worry they're not going to be like together in the very next chapter. Can't rush these things now. Anyways hope you likies =D. Review now before I send Reno after you!! lol no really please review flames are welcomed. And I'm not giving up on "Dream among the Darkness" I'm still working on it. I just needed something more humorous and cheerful to write in the meantime. So that's about it! See ya laters!!
Disclaimer: If you honestly think I own the Turks, ShinRa, or anything else Final Fantasy 7 your insane so to speak. I no own. You no sue. Okies?! Okies!! Oh yes: ".." = talking
