I don't own Final Fantasy VII or One Week (the song that this was based off of. You'll see.).
Rufus hadn't talked to Reno for a week. And anytime they were in the same room, he wouldn't look at Reno. It was starting to bug the Turk.
Okay, so the President might have seen them coming out of a supply closet. He might have even heard what they were doing. And he might have gotten pissed. But were those good reasons to ignore Reno? No. If anything they should be talking about it. After, Reno was a good listener… sometimes… Maybe not, but they should still talk.
Reno got the bright idea to go to Rufus' office and confront him. Why hadn't he thought of the ingenious plan before?
Reno ran to the elevator.
"… That'll take too long." Instead he ran back to the stairs. 47 flights. That wasn't too bad. Anything to make sure everything was okay with his lover… or whatever Rufus had considered them. Reno was still unsure how his boss felt.
Reno reached the office. Without knocking, he opened the door and darted in. This was always a mistake. No matter who you were, you always knocked on Rufus' door. Tseng made that mistake once. Just once.
"Sir," Reno panted.
"Reno," Rufus said dryly not looking at him.
"I gotta know, yo," Reno said catching his breath. "Why haven't you been talking to me?"
"Get out." Rufus gave him The Glare. The one the he used when he wanted to say, 'Leave me the fuck alone.'
"No. I wanna know. You've been ignoring me for like… a week." Reno closed the door. There was no way he was leaving until he got his answer.
"I have my reasons. Now get out." Rufus opened the door again.
"No. Tell me." He took Rufus' hand off the door and slammed it. That would make his point. "Is it something I said? Or something I did?"
"For the last time, Reno, get out of my office!" the Vice President yelled to the Turk.
"I don't get it! What the hell's your problem, yo?"
"My problem? How about how the old man found us?" Now he was really losing his temper. It was a side of Rufus Reno had never seen. The guy never showed any emotion. Rufus still wasn't looking at Reno.
"You don't even like him! Who cares what he thinks?"
"That's not the point."
"What's wrong with you?"
Rufus had to think about this. It wasn't really that he cared what his father thought of him. Actually, to be honest, he didn't care what anyone thought of him. It wasn't even the fact that he might not become the next President of the Shinra Company. Or that he could possibly lose his current position as the Vice President. So what was it?
He cocked his head and said, "I'm angry." That was really all it came down to.
"I got that much."
"Reno. Out." He started sounding tired rather than annoyed.
"I said I was sorry for letting him catch us!"
"Get back together, come back and see me." With that the door was open once more and the Turk was pushed back out to the hall. As Reno turned to protest Rufus shut the door in his face. The click told Reno that he was locked out.
Reno turned around and hit the back of his head on the door. He slid to the floor and sat for a few minute before leaving.
'It's my fault.'
At the same time Rufus sat at his desk. He dropped his head into his hands and sat there for hours.
'It's my fault.'

A.N. Okay... I was listening to One Week by Barenaked Ladies and I thought "Wow. This is Rufus and Reno!" I started playing around with the idea of a fanfiction and this was born. If you don't know the song (it makes me sad when people don't) that's okay. Look it up please. It's funny and random (more random than this!).
Also, sorry its sooo short. That's just the way it went. The next chapter is a bit longer (but not by much). The way I see it, its short, sweet and to the point (like me!).
More to come soon. I'm graduating and have more time to write/post. Tell me what you think! XD
