A Time For Change Chapter 1, a final fantasy vii fanfic

Disclaimer: final fantasy 7/8 belongs to Square Enix.

Author note: Just wanted to give a heads up on the type of world these characters are in. It's a normal present day story, mainly about relationships and not a magic based fic, for example if anyone gets hurt, they go to the hospital, they won't be using a potion. Also, I have two final fantasy 8 characters in here, don't like don't read. Denzel won't be in my story, just so you know. I am going to attempt to write/update as often as I can. I plan on working on this while revising other stories I've left neglected.

A Time For Change

The 7th Heaven was more than just Tifa's bar, it was her home. A home she had shared with Cloud for quite a few years now. Their relationship wasn't what people expected, in reality they were only roommates. They had never been together as a couple. This wasn't due to a lack of trying on Tifa's part. She had expressed her feelings of desire for more than just friendship to be shot down continuity by Cloud. He had no interest in her. Tifa knew he felt that way, yet still her mind would fog her better judgement, always she'd think to herself "what if someday...". It wasn't healthy to pine over someone as much as she did Cloud. Turning down dates with other men, her hopes and dreams still clung to Cloud.

Her most recent birthday sort of opened her eyes to the reality that Cloud had no intention of being with her and that her goal of settling down and starting a family was getting beyond her reach. She was 29 and the older she got the harder it would be to find that special person and have a start having children. Child birth was also harder on the body once you started hitting your thirties. Tifa knew in her heart that she could never truly let him go with him living with her under the same roof. She would have to ask him to move out.

"Cloud, I'm sorry but I can't have you living with me any more. I know you don't see me the way I see you, and I just can't move onto the next stage of my life with you living here. I need to let go of my feelings for you, and I can only see myself actually doing that with you out of my home." Tifa explained to the quiet blonde.

He never said a word to her, he merely packed up his things and left the house they had shared. It was hard for Tifa, her heart had hoped he would say that he didn't want to go, that he needed her in his life. But no, he truly did not love her.

Cloud hadn't exactly been loud when he was home, but Tifa still felt the house was extra quiet without him. Then again, deep down Tifa knew Cloud hadn't been around a lot anyway. He'd be off doing his own thing and come back when it suited him. Never considering her feelings of worry when he'd be gone for over a week, not bothering to call and say he was okay.

She knew that this first step was going to be the hardest, it was just going to take time to readjust how she went about her day.

After a week went by, she was tired of the quiet house and went to the park to get some fresh air and have the noise of everyday life buzzing in her ears. At the park she noticed an ice cream vender, and thought treating herself would bring some cheer to her. She ordered a chocolate cone and then sat by herself on a bench, letting out a sigh of loneliness. She hadn't even combed her hair today, just threw it in a messy bun. Her clothes were loose and casual, not feeling it was worth her time to put on something nice.

Reno noticed her eating ice cream alone in the park. That wasn't the odd part, the lady was often alone; when she wasn't working at her bar. The way she looked was what caught his eye. Her long hair which was usually smooth and perfect, was thrown up into a messy bun. Strands of hair sticking out here and there. Her clothes baggy and slightly wrinkled.

It wasn't just her appearance, Reno sometimes got a vibe about things. Today he was getting a vibe that something was wrong with her emotionally. If it had been any other chick, he would have turned tail and run. Smart men leave emotional women the Hell alone. Tifa would be his only exception to this rule.

Playing it casual, he went over to the ice cream vender and ordered a small butter pecan cone, then walked over towards the bench Tifa was perched on.

"Yo." Reno spoke towards the woman. He waited for a reply, never receiving one, he merely sat down next to her and waited.

He was half way done with his ice cream when she finally spoke, "Am I clueless?"

Oh boy, one of those trick questions women asked all the freaking time. He had to be smarter than the question...

"Why you asking?"

A question answered by another question, hot damn he was good!

Tifa looked stonily at Reno. Her ice cream melting all over her hands. Her head turned away, her eyes looking off into the distance as she spoke.

"I kicked Cloud out. Not that he was ever around much anyway. He didn't even argue. Just packed up and left."

Reno listened, shocked that Tifa had actually kicked out the man she'd been crushing on for years.

"I guess I'm asking you if I'm clueless because for so many years I've been saying to myself that he'd change. That he'd want more than a companion. He was willing to have a warm bed to come home to, a cooked meal, someone to clean up after him. Emotionally he didn't want involvement. It's like I've been roommates with a ghost for the past couple years. Hoping, telling myself that someday he would open up and change."

She stopped and turned her head to stare into Renos eyes, "I'm almost 30 and I am no where near the life goals I want for myself. I feel like I've put my life on hold for someone that was never going to love me in the first place."

Reno stared back at her, not knowing what to say.

"I haven't been having a good week." She took her eyes off Reno and stared down at her melted ice cream.

An idea popped into his head, maybe it was a crazy idea, but it was better than just sitting in this awkward silence.

"When was the last time you've been on a date?" Reno asked her.

Tifa laughed bitterly, "Not in a very long while. Why?"

"Well, how about you go home, fix yourself up real nice, and I'll be by your place at 8." Reno smiled at the taken aback look on Tifa's face.

"Oh come on, yo! You could use a night out on the town, take your mind off things and let loose." He wiggled his eyebrows at her, winning a soft smile from her.

"It'd be nice to have a reason to wear a nice dress again. To care enough to put on some make up... Alright Reno, you're on." She stood up, smiling down at the red haired Turk.
"See you at 8." Were her final words before taking off, leaving him alone.

Reno let out a sigh. Women and their emotions drained him, but at least he worked in a date with the gal he had a crush on for a very long time. He'd show her a good time, maybe make her laugh even. Tifa looked like laughter didn't happen often in her life lately. Reno would do his best to bring a little fun into her life.

For many years now, Tifa had had a fetish when it came to buying dresses. She'd see one and just fall in love with the design and think about all the possible places she could go wearing it. So she'd buy the dress with lots of hope in her heart to be able to put it to good use. She kept buying more dresses that would catch her eye, but she never had a reason to dress up and wear any of them. For tonights date she at least had a lot of variety to choose from.

She wanted something classy, yet flirty, but not too revealing. She didn't want be labeled something she was not. Her eyes landed on a halter top dress that was cut above the knee, it's color a dark blue with delicate silver sparkles throughout the material. It felt like a good choice for an evening out.

Tifa slithered into her chosen dress, walking over to a full length mirror to see how she looked in it. She enjoyed how comfortable it felt on, but the way the bust line was cut made her strapless bra show. Great, she'd have to go bra-less on her date with Reno. That wouldn't catch his attention at all, not that she wasn't use to men eye balling her bust. Groaning in mild annoyance, she undid her bra and slipped it off. The dress looked better with that done, and at least there was some padding in the bust of the dress to keep her nipples in check.

Satisfied with her outfit, she moved her body over to the vanity where a warm curling iron awaited. Looking into the vanity's mirror, she began to lightly curl the ends of her long hair. It had been a while since she had even used the damn curling iron, opting out to always just brush her hair and leave it down. It was nice to be able to take the time to doll herself up a bit, make her feel good about herself. She finished curling her hair, and went to reach for the contents inside her make up case. She fished around until she pulled out a smokey silver colored eyeshadow, and a tube of mascara. After carefully applying the eyeshadow, she went to use her mascara, only to find that it was dried up and useless. Apparently it had been a very long time since she had used the bottle. With a roll of her eyes in annoyance, she tossed the dead mascara into a small trash bin beside her. She didn't really need it, the smokey eyeshadow was enough. Her eyes looked up at the clock on the wall, seeing that it was five minutes till her date would arrive.

Reno stood at Tifa's door, his hair freshly spiked, his skin doused in a sweet smelling cologne. He was ready to show Tifa a good time, so why hadn't he knocked on her door yet? He'd been standing there a good three minutes now, meaning to knock but he kept bringing his hand back down to his side. Alright. So maybe he was a little nervous. He had day dreamed about taking her on a date but now that it was really happening, he was kinda going brain dead...

'Come on, you've got this! Show that lady how a man's suppose to treat a woman!' He chided himself as he took a deep breath and knocked on her door. It opened right away to his surprise, almost as if she'd been just waiting on the other side.

He smiled at her, "Looking good, yo." He complimented her, watching as her cheeks lightly blushed.

"I could smell your cologne through the door, Reno. What took you so long to knock?" She teased him, enjoying his embarrassed discomfort as he rubbed the back of his head with one hand.

"You knew that huh?" He chuckled.

"Alright you Nervous Nancy, shall we get this show on the road?" Tifa asked, picking up her purse and awaiting his answer.

"Your night of excitement begins right here." He extended the crook of his arm for her as his eyebrows wiggled at her. Tifa chuckled as she took his arm and they began to walk towards his car.

"Le Blanc, you're taking me to dinner at Le Blanc? Can you even read the menu from that place?" She stared at the red head in amazement. She didn't even want to bring up the fact that the restaurant was the most expensive one around town. How was he able to afford this?

"You haven't been out in a while so I thought the fanciest place would start the evening off right." Reno defended his choice. "And why wouldn't I be able to read the menu? I'm not a caveman, yo!"

"Okay! I'm sorry I guess I was just...surprised. Really surprised." She explained to her companion.

"Come on, I'm hungry!" Reno began to hurry Tifa into the fancy French restaurant, his stomach growled as they entered. The smell of foreign food seeping into their very pores.

The couple was seated to a table with candles in the middle, a red silk tablecloth adorning it. The waiter asked if either would like any wine. Reno ordered a bottle of their red wine, and the two watched as the waiter rushed off.

Reno picked up the menu and felt sick. He now knew what Tifa had meant by her comment, the menu was all in French! And no, he didn't know how to read let alone speak the damn language! He glanced over at the pretty brunette listening to her mutter to herself.

"Oh that looks nice, maybe I'll try that."

Reno tried being suave, "Oh yeah? I might get the same, what were you looking at?"

"Why the Foie Gras of course. I was told it's quite tasty." Tifa smiled, knowing exactly what he was up to.

When the waiter returned with their wine and took down their order, Reno thought he had smoothed everything out. Tifa would have no clue that he couldn't really read that menu.

About twenty minutes later when the waiter returned with their meal, Reno looked down at a very small piece of meat that sat in some sort of juice. A few green onions decorated the top of the questionable meat. Looking across from him, Tifa seemed unfazed by the portion size. She delicately cut into the tender morsel.

"Well, are you going to stop staring and eat or what?" She teased, looking up at him with a playful look in her eyes.

"Yeah, just makin' sure you're liking it." Reno looked down at his dinner and took up his silverware. He cut the meat in half and took a bite of the unknown substance.

"Reno." Tifa called towards him.

The red head looked at her, chewing and wondering what the hell he was about to swallow.

"You're eating duck liver." Tifa informed him right as he swallowed.

His eyes went from huge to normal within ten seconds.

"Yeah, I know. I ordered it didn't I?" He said, on the inside he was freaking out. He couldn't show her though, he had to play it cool and that meant finishing his meal...

"Boy I'm full, you about ready to see where else I'm gonna take ya?"

The pair drove in silence, Reno kept popping breath mints into his mouth.

"You totally didn't know that was duck liver, just admit it!" Tifa said, breaking the silence.

"Sure I did, yo! I'm a suave guy Tifa, I know more than you give me credit for." He smiled and winked at the unconvinced brunette.

The car came to a stop in front of a very crowded night club. Unlike the bar Tifa ran, this was a very modern club that had a higher amount of younger customers than older ones.

Reno got out first and went to her side of the car to open the door for her. The music inside could be heard from where they stood. Tifa smoothly got out, looking at the hip establishment with growing excitement. She couldn't remember the last time she'd been dancing!

Reno walked with her into the club, which was jam packed with lots of other people having a good time dancing and drinking. A familiar fast paced song came on and Tifa felt her hips swaying along to the music. Reno noticed this right away, "You want to dance?" He leaned towards her ear so she'd hear him.

Tifa beamed up at him and nodded her head in yes. She pranced onto the dance floor and began to let the music take over her body. Reno watched in amusement as Tifa loosened up and started moving her body with the music. He ordered a drink while he watched the lady enjoy herself on the dance floor. It was very rare for anyone to see Tifa letting down her guard enough to dance, let alone the type of dancing she was doing. Her body was provocative to just about every guy in the club that was watching her sexy movements. Reno suspected their red wine had helped Tifa feel relaxed enough to let down her guard.

The song faded away and was replaced with a slower tune. Tifa walked over to the smirking Reno and ordered herself a strong drink.

"Wow Tifa, I never knew you could dip it low like that." He winked.

"I haven't in a while, I'm just glad my hip didn't pop out. I'm not as flexible as I use to be."

"Somehow I doubt that." Reno said, watching Tifa throw back a couple shots of whiskey. Her eyes locked onto his as her hands reached out and grasped his.

"Shut up and dance with me." She purred, pulling him with her to the dance floor. She placed her arms around his neck, feeling his own on her lower back as they rocked together.

Tifa leaned her head into his chest as she breathed in the smell of his cologne. He had certainly doused himself in the stuff. She jerked in surprise as she felt one of his hands slip underneath her hair, and onto the back of her neck. He began to lightly massage it, making her tension drop, her mouth spewing out words before she knew it, "ohh that's nice..."

Great. She had just moaned a little at Reno massaging her neck! She felt him chuckle at her response.

"Want me to massage a few more muscles for ya, Tifa?" He breathed into her ear. Tifa felt her heart beat race and her cheeks redden. She kept her head against his chest, not looking up at him.

The song ended and the two separated, Tifa headed over to the bar quickly with Reno following behind her. She ordered a few more shots, throwing them back quickly. She couldn't look Reno in the eyes just yet. She was embarrassed at how his touch had softened her, made her moan even! She noticed some stairs leading up and wanting to clear her head a bit, she decided to go up them. On the second floor was a room with a karaoke machine. Tifa watched as people picked out songs they liked then waited for their turn to go up and sing them.

'What the hell.' Tifa thought to herself as she went over to see the selection she had to choose from. Reno stood back and watched. Giving her a little space. She had gotten very flushed at his comment and actions on the dance floor.

Tifa picked out her song, and waited for her turn on the machine.

"What song did ya pick?" Reno asked, appearing next to her.

"It's a surprise."

Soon it was her turn, and when the music started to play, what little stage fright she might have had completely vanished. This was one of her all time favorite songs and she knew the words like the back of her hand.

"If I had to
I would put myself right beside you
So let me ask
Would you like that? Would you like that?

And I don't mind
If you say this love is the last time
So now I'll ask
Do you like that? Do you like that?

No!

Something's getting in the way
Something's just about to break
I will try to find my place
In the diary of Jane
So tell me how it should be

Try to find out, what makes you tick
As I lie down, sore and sick
Do you like that? Do you like that?

There's a fine line, between love and hate
And I don't mind
Just let me say
That I like that! I like that!

Something's getting in the way
Something's just about to break
I will try to find my place
In the diary of Jane
As I burn another page
As I look the other way
I still try to find my place
In the diary of Jane
So tell me how it should be

Desperate I will crawl
Waiting for so long
No love, there is no love
Die for anyone
What have I become?

Tifa finished her song, getting cheers from groups of people. She put down the microphone and walked over to Reno.

"Breaking Benjamin, a very good choice. Didn't figure you for a rock fan, Tifa." Reno said. Tifa raised one eyebrow at him.

"I think I've had enough fun for the night, can we head out?"

Reno walked the lightly buzzed bar tender to her front door. Tifa took out her keys from her purse and took her time finding the right one.

"You know, I haven't had a night like that for a long time. It was sweet of you to make me feel better about...everything."

"I am pretty fun to be around." Reno joked, getting her to chuckle.

"Thank you, Reno." She said, moving close enough to kiss him on the cheek.

"What, no tongue?" He teased, getting her to blush.

"Listen, I really like you Reno." Tifa began.

"I was joking Tifa, you don't have to..."

"I need to say it. I really like you Reno, it's just been a very long time since I've actually done anything and I feel a bit rusty."

"Done anything? Are you trying to proposition me, Tifa?"

"Damn you Reno!" She cursed before smashing her lips against his, kissing him hard. Reno opened his mouth for her to explore as he kissed her back, his arms encircling her waist as hers went around his neck. Tifa dug her fingers into his hair, deepening the kiss and moaning into his mouth as Reno's hands grabbed her hips and ground them against his own.

Reno came up for breath first, his aqua eyes capturing her chocolate ones.

"Tifa, do you want me to come into your house?"

Tifa giggled naughtily, "My house isn't the only thing I want you to come in." She kissed his neck, receiving a moan from the red head.

"Tifa Tifa, who knew you could talk so dirty?" He purred into her ear, nipping her earlobe lightly.

"Get inside my house now before I have you naked on my doorstep." She growled, finding her house key and hurriedly unlocking her door. Tifa pulled the red headed man into her home and slammed the door shut behind them.

Tifa blamed her out of character actions on her hormones; that and the amount of alcohol swimming in her blood stream. Her sex life had been pretty much non existent, Cloud would never willingly bed her, she'd have to get him extremely intoxicated before he'd let her touch him that way. Even then she would be the one doing all the work while he lay in a drunken stupor. Not exactly an enjoyable act when only one person was really into it. After a few times of that, Tifa stopped. It wasn't right.

Tifa hadn't been with a man for over a year. When she'd first been asked out by Reno, she had mentally told herself that she would not have sex with him on their first date, I mean she wasn't that hard up for physical attention...

So she had been weak. She was only human. Reno had been driving her hormones nuts for most of the night. What really made her break was having some affection shown back, having a man freely show her his emotions. It was such a welcome change.

Tifa sat up in bed and looked down towards the peacefully sleeping Reno. She would not feel bad about sleeping with Reno on their first date. It wasn't good to constantly beat yourself up on things like this. She had enjoyed herself, and so had he. No harm done there.

"He's going to think you're easy, Tifa." She spoke quietly to herself. "And would he be wrong?"

Aqua eyes opened and stared back at her. "She would be nuts to think he'd judge her on something like that."

"Reno..."

"I've known you longer than just our date we had. Come on Tifa, use your head! We're not exactly strangers." Reno sat up and slinked one arm around her shoulders, pulling her to him. "Why does it bug you so much?"

Tifa sighed and leaned into his bare chest. "Cause I'm scared."

"Scared of what?"

"I don't want this to be just a one night stand. I don't wanna be last weeks news to you." Tears started to appear, slipping down her face. Reno's embrace tightened as he hugged her against him.

"I don't want this to be a one time thing either, Tifa. You're not some girl I'd toss to the side, you're special Tifa." He lightly kissed the top of her head. Tifa raised herself to gaze straight into his eyes, seeing honesty in them.

"Does this mean we can go on another date?" She sniffed.

"As many as you want." He wiped away her tears and kissed her salty lips.

Tifa had been dating Reno for a month now. It had been long enough that most of their friends knew about it. Yuffie was the most obnoxious about it, constantly asking random questions about Tifa's relationship, most of them centered around inappropriate things.

The awkward physical questions she could deal with from Yuffie. The hardest ones to hear were the "What about Cloud?" questions.

"Yuffie, I've told you how many times already? We were roommates, nothing more. Cloud never wanted a real relationship."

Yuffie would frown at Tifa, "Ya but who's gonna take care of him?"

"He's a big boy, he can take care of himself!" Tifa raised her voice towards the younger woman, trying to get her point across.

Eventually Tifa would have to ask Yuffie to leave the bar, it just seemed to be an unending battle of words with her. At least with the men in Tifa's life it was simpler. They didn't bother her with questions like Yuffie did.

Barrett was fine with it. His daughter Marlene had asked where Cloud was now.

"I don't know sweetie, he doesn't live here anymore." Was all Tifa could really think to say. It wasn't her job to keep tabs on the man.

"Maybe now you can start making babies." Barrett commented one day. Tifa gaped at him receiving a , "What? I can see it in your eyes, wanting to start up a little family some day. Nothing wrong with that."

Tifa shook her head and let it be. After all, everyone would have their own opinion.

Tifa had a close friend named Rinoa. She had met this woman at a local coffee shop a few years ago and their personalities just clicked. Rinoa had recently moved to Midgar with her husband, and Tifa had been the first friend she made. They would get together as often as they could and drink coffee while they just talked and enjoyed each others company.

Rinoa knew a lot of Tifa's personal feelings about Cloud and was glad to hear that Tifa had moved on and was now dating someone. Rinoa was excited to meet Reno, but wanted Tifa to decide when she wanted to introduce him. She wouldn't push her friend about something like that.

Tifa had been feeling comfortable enough to ask Rinoa if she'd like to go on a double date and finally meet Reno.

"Squall and I would love to meet him! And it's been a while since we've been out on the town, so I'm totally up for dinner and a movie!" Rinoa rejoiced over the phone to Tifa.

"Alright, how about that nice new diner next to the theater? And afterwords we'll just pick what movie to go to when we're done." Tifa suggested.

"Sounds good, I'll call you back once I talk to Squall to see what day he has off. Talk to you soon!" And with a click Rinoa was off the phone.

Tifa had mentioned her friends to Reno a few times, he was ready to meet them when she was comfortable. Tifa always imagined how fun it might be to have a chance to go out on double dates and hang out as a couple with another couple. In the past, Tifa had invited Cloud to come with her to drink coffee with Rinoa and Squall. He even knew Squall and could have enjoyed visiting with the other man. But no, Cloud would never go with her.

Things would be different now, she was in a real relationship and Reno wouldn't let her down like Cloud always did. Reno was way more outgoing and actually had feelings for her. Tifa couldn't wait to tell him what she was planning.

Reno took in the couple they were walking over to. The guy was fairly tall, a brunette with one of those long in the front short in the back haircuts. He was dressed in black skinny jeans, a silver tank top and a black leather jacket. He didn't appear to be much of a smiler, but the girl next to him started waving at Reno and Tifa, her excitement made the dude shake his head and grin lightly.

The girl had black hair with a streak of color in it. She wore a light blue duster with a matching top, and a short black skirt. She stopped waving and jogged up to meet Reno and Tifa half way.

Tifa received a tight hug from Rinoa who then turned to reach out her hand to shake Renos.

"I'm Rinoa, it's nice to finally meet you Reno." She smiled kindly at the red head.

The lady's husband walked up to the group and shook hands with Reno as well, introducing himself as Squall.

With everyone introduced, the group entered the diner and sat together in a comfy booth.

"So Tifa was telling us that you're a body guard for some big business man in this city, how long have you been doing that?" Rinoa asked Reno.

"A handful of years now, the pay is great and I don't mind the work." Reno answered, his eyes looking over at Squall. "You seem the type to be in the same business, how about it Squall? What do you do?"

The tall brunette shrugged a shoulder, "Security mostly, for a company outside city limits. Not quite as dangerous as your job I'm sure." He picked up a menu and started reading, ending the conversation.

"Squall doesn't like it as much as his bouncer days. In our old town he did that for a living, it's actually how we first met." Rinoa chuckled and elbowed him playfully. "But this job does pay a lot better."

The couples sat and talked and ate their meal, getting along really well. When their meal was finished, they started walking over to the theater. Reaching the outside of the building, Squall pulled out a pack of cigarettes and asked Reno if he wanted one. Rinoa pouted seeing Squall light up.

"You said you were quitting." She griped him.

"I'll quit tomorrow, just one tonight and that's it." He promised, offering Reno one. The red head took up the offer and lit up a cigarette with him.

"Lets go stand over there while we wait, I hate that smell!" Rinoa complained as Tifa and her walked to the other end of the building, next to the parking lot.

Tifa gazed out into the lot and noticed a familiar bike parked and idling with its rider watching them. Rinoa noticed her friend staring and looked towards the man on the bike.

"So, Cloud showed up to my work the other day, he was looking for a job." Squall mentioned to Reno, now that Tifa was out of ear shot.

"He seemed off. Like mentally off. I just got this feeling that maybe you should know, so you can keep an eye out for Tifa. As much as she says he wasn't in love with her, he still stayed together in that house with her. He grew accustomed to having things in his life constant and now that nothing is consistent, who's to say?"

"Are ya saying he'd try hurting her?" Reno asked, finishing off his cigarette.

"I don't know what I'm trying to say, I just got a gut feeling that he wasn't acting like himself. You seem like you'd be able to handle a messy situation if it arises." Squall commented, stubbing out his own cigarette.

"Come on, lets go see what the girls are up to."

The two men walked over to the waiting ladies. Tifa was pointing towards the parking lot and speaking to Rinoa.

"I know that damn bike and I'm telling you it was him!" Tifa assured her friend.

"What's going on, ladies?" Reno asked, raising one eyebrow.

Tifa gave Rinoa a look that screamed 'don't say a word'. Rinoa ignored the heated look as she explained that they had seen a man on a motorcycle. That he had called out Tifa's name then quickly took off.

"Tifa thinks it was Cloud, but the dude had a helmet on." Rinoa argued.

"I mean, it could have been anyone, Tifa does own a bar. Plenty if people know who you are. Right?" She was trying to get reassurance from both men.

Squall and Reno shared a glance, making Rinoa feel less confident.

"I think I'd like to go home now guys, seeing a movie right now just doesn't sound fun anymore." Tifa spoke, walking past Rinoa and moving next to Reno.

"Lets go, Reno. Please." She added, feeling uneasy standing there.

"We'll see you two later." Reno looked apologetic towards the couple as he took Tifa's hand and walked with her to his car.

"Would it be alright if I stayed with you tonight?" Tifa asked as they got into Renos car. "I don't want to be alone tonight."

Reno gave a shrug, "Sure. I gotta work in the morning but you can make yourself at home while I'm gone. To be honest, getting off work and finding you naked in my bed has been a day dream of mine." He winked, trying to ease the anxiety she was having.

Tifa chuckled lightly, taking her hand in his and squeezing it warmly.

They drove on in silence, Reno looking over at her every few minutes to make sure she was okay.

They pulled up to his apartment, a high end modern looking building.

He opened the front door and let her in, watching her take in his home for the first time. The floors were wood, the walls were a creamy white with silver accents here and there.

"Wow, and here I thought it'd be messier." She teased him, letting Reno lead her up a flight of stairs.

The whole top floor was just one big bedroom, with a master bathroom attached. His bed was king sized, covered in black satin sheets. Tifa sat on the edge, slipping off her high heels and watched as her companion began to strip.

"You know, I'd never let anything happen to you." Reno began, his shirt completely off now as his hands began to work on the belt on his pants.

"I know that dude with the bike has you feeling worried, but just know that I won't let anyone hurt you." He slipped off his jeans, now only in his red silk boxers. He walked over to Tifa and kneeled in front of her, taking her hands in his and kissing them.

Tifa let her tension seep out, her shoulders relaxing as she smiled down at the kindness Reno was showing.

"I know you'll watch out for me." She spoke, freeing on of her hands to burry it in his hair, massaging his scalp.

Reno let go of her hand and stood up, smiling down at Tifa. "How about a shower?" He asked, nodding towards his bathroom.

The thought of warm water pouring down on her sounded heavenly. Tifa stood and glided into the bathroom with Reno behind her. He shut the door and then slid the glass door of the shower open, turning the knob to start the water. While he adjusted the heat, Tifa had begun undoing her dress, letting the material slide down her body and onto the tiled floor. Reno turned his head to watch her skillfully unclip her bra, shrugging out of the straps and letting the undergarment fall.

She turned towards Reno, the two lovers facing each other now. Her eyes went down to see that her bare breasts had made his boxers tent. His long length pushing out against the fabric.

"Why don't I help you with that." She waved towards his boxers, bending down and reaching out towards the waistband, bringing the cloth down slowly to reveal his erect member. Her mouth quickly took it in her as she slid the boxers the rest of the way down. Reno let out a loud moan, his hand slipping into her hair. Tifa stroked his shaft, bobbing her head up and down his length.

"Alright, your turn." He murmured, gently stopping her wonderful touch. He made her rise, kissing her on the lips then working his way down. His lips stoping at her belly button as his hands grabbed the waist of her black lace panties. He slowly snaked them down, his nose taking in her heavenly scent as the panties barely went below her exposed pussy. Very gently he nudged her with his nose, moving his mouth closer to her heated pussy. Taking his tongue he pushed his way in, moving for her swollen clit and teased it like a snake with his tongue. She bucked against his teasing, he could hear her pant and moan. He took her clit completely in his mouth, sucking aggressively on it. The steam was rising now within the bathroom, the water was more than ready for the two lovers. He let go of her clit and finished taking her panties off. She helped him rise and started to push him into the shower.

Reno shut the glass door behind them as Tifa's lips met his, her hand hungrily gripping his eight inch cock and stroking him. His left hand went to her right breast, massaging it with his palm and pinching her nipple every second or so. Renos free hand explored her wet pussy, starting with her sensitive clit. He'd rub it roughly with his thumb, Tifa would moan against his lips in response. Her hips rocking against him, letting him know she was ready for his fingers to plunge into her. Reno gladly obliged, starting with one finger, filling her warm hole then pulling back slowly, only to quickly push it back in. He added another finger, enjoying the tightness he felt.

The way Tifa was stroking his shaft, Reno knew he would not be lasting long. He took his slick fingers out, gripped her hips and turned her away from him. His one hand pushed her back down as his other guided his cock right below her entrance, his tip slipping in, making her gasp and moan. Her body pushed against his, wanting his full length in. He kept teasing, holding her body so that he slowly moved in, when getting close to being completely in, he'd pull out quickly. Tifa would cry out in frustration when he'd do this, trying desperately to make him hurry.

"Are you sure you want it?" He'd verbally tease as he'd slowly enter, his tip sliding into her slick pussy, only to pull back out quickly.

"Yes!" She cried, pushing hungrily against his cock, ready for his full length.

Having teased her enough, he greedily went inside her completely, fucking her at a fast and hard pace. His balls slapping against her. He was nearing release, so when the moment came he quickly pulled out and blew his seed all over her heavenly ass.
