Reno jogged up the steps to his apartment two at a time, cheerily humming to himself, the keys to his sleek, black, Ferrari jingling in his hand. If Elena had been in the mood to cook, she'd probably have just finished making dinner. If not, then it would be up to Reno to procure something edible. And that meant ordering pizza. Pizza. It's been awhile.

Reno and Elena had been dating for almost two years, and her almost constant presence at mealtimes had forced Reno to eat better. No more cold pizza from a box on the counter for breakfast, no more chips and cookies for lunch. After an up-close observation of Reno's regular eating habits, Elena had declared that he should be dead by all reasoning. Reno had calmly replied that he rarely chose to follow the path that reason and/or logic carved out.

"I'm home!" Reno called out, kicking the door closed behind him like he always did and tossing the keys onto the table by the door. Elena didn't reply, but he heard her walking around in the bedroom. Sniffing the air as he headed toward the sound of her footsteps, Reno concluded they would be eating pizza since he didn't smell anything cooking.

"So, ya want me to order some pizza?" Reno questioned casually, not really looking for an answer since he had already pulled his cell phone from his pocket and was dialing the number. He leaned in the doorway, watching the girl flutter about collecting her clothes and other various belongings that had somehow found their way from her apartment to his. She was tossing them all haphazardly into a bag, preparing to take them back to her apartment as she did periodically to maintain a feeling of order. Elena had never really moved in with Reno, although she spent more than half of her time at his apartment.

"Do whatever you want," Elena answered his question, her voice low and bursting with emotion. Reno snapped his phone closed before it had a chance to ring and frowned, taking a step into the room. Something was wrong.

"What's the matter, babe?" Reno tried to pull her into a hug but she brushed him off, remaining silent and not allowing him to see her face, "Come on, tell me! Whose ass do I need to kick?" Still, Elena did not say a word. Reno was baffled. He'd seen her upset about things before, but she'd always told him about it. Sometimes she was just downright moody and he knew better than to mess with her then.

"What, are ya doin' that whole PMS thing?" Reno pushed, watching her storm about grabbing all of her belongings.

"Shut up, Reno!" At least he'd gotten her to speak. Her voice had cracked though and Reno correctly interpreted this tell-tale sign that she was about to cry. Reno gulped, beginning to feel alarmed.

"What's goin' on?" he asked quietly, finally grabbing her shoulders and making her face him. Her bottom lip quivered and the tears soon spilled from her eyes, running down her cheeks. She looked at him with a tempestuous mix of anger, pain, and sorrow swirling in her light brown eyes.

"I'm going back to my apartment now," she shrugged his hands off her arms and made for the door, followed closely by the worried redhead.

"What time will you be back?"

"I don't know," Elena answered evasively, struggling to fight her tears.

"I'll wait up for you," Reno promised, wondering what she was upset about.

"I'm not coming back, Reno!" Elena's voice was loud, but not angry, just frustrated. She whirled around with her words to face him. Reno stood still, barely a foot or two behind her, looking stunned.

"W-what do you mean?" He looked scared, an emotion Reno almost never experienced.

"I mean I'm leaving!" Elena's hot tears poured down her face and she squeezed her eyes shut, partly attempting to stop the tears and partly to block out Reno's hurt face, "Leaving you!" With that she turned and jerked the door open, practically running out.

"But… why?" Reno's voice was frantic, "What did I do, Elena?" She ignored him and almost tripped in her hurry to get down the stairs. Reno wanted nothing more than to chase her and find out what was wrong, but something held him back. "Why?" he shouted after her, his voice loaded with the pain and confusion he felt. "Why?!"
