Reno was getting annoyed. He was trying to relax at 7th Heaven after a tough day at work, and Cloud just kept staring at him. It was driving Reno nuts, and interfering with his enjoyment of the brunette in his lap. When he saw Cloud go into the bathroom, he gave a sigh of relief and carefully unfastened his pants, moving the brunette into place. He kissed her to keep her quiet, and when he was done, refastened his pants and excused himself to her before going into the bathroom as well.
"What is your problem?" he demanded of Cloud who was washing his hands.
"How do you do it?" Cloud responded.
"Do what?" Reno asked in surprise.
"Get women."
"It's not that hard." he replied.
"Wou…would you teach me?"
Reno was torn between laughing and the sad realization that Cloud really had no clue about women. "I can try, but it's not as easy as you think."
"Nothing for me has been easy lately." Cloud said.
Reno shook his head. "That's problem number one. Women don't want a man who's gonna be constantly whining about how bad their lives are."
"Oookay, so what else?."
Reno looked Cloud over. "Your outfit. It's too much. It screams I've got baggage! If you can't get undressed in less than 30 seconds, you're telling everyone that you're not interested in being comfortable or having fun."
Reno starts fiddling with Cloud's outfit, taking off what he decides are unnecessary accessories, when another man walks in, looks at the two of them, and walks back out.
"There, that should do it." Reno said a few moments later. "Best I can do with what you're giving me to work with."
"I feel so exposed." Cloud said.
"Yeah, that's kinda the point. You want to give them a slight taste of what they're gonna get with you. And try and keep the conversation focused on them, unless they specifically ask about you. And don't tell them anything good about you unless you're downplaying it when you do. Now go out there and see how you do." Reno shoved Cloud out the door, then went back to his seat, making his apologies to the brunette and keeping an eye on Cloud as the brunette kept her hands on Reno.
