Reluctantly picking up her paintbrush and taking a deep breath, Tifa started on her canvas. Is this really the closest I'm going to get to a naked man now? she thought to herself. And Reno no less! Finally losing her virginity to Cloud had left her with a strong desire to experience sex again, but then he half-left her, going off to do who knows what for months at a time, and their shared bedroom had separate twin beds, so Tifa felt terribly lonely and unfulfilled, even when Cloud was there. Staring at Reno's naked body, she couldn't help but compare it to Cloud's and she felt even more frustrated. She let her mind drift off as she painted, imagining herself walking up to Reno and throwing herself onto him, demanding he show her a good time, and feeling that magnificent specimen of manliness impale her over and over again.
"I...I can't do this." Aerith said, setting her brush down. She had managed to paint Reno's face and hair, but the rest of him...she wanted Zack, not this tall and lanky naked man who had a reputation of being shameless when it came to women. She believed it now, he had no trouble being naked in front of people he barely knew, and he was smirking for all he was worth.
Yuffie would have rather seen Vincent naked herself with her virginal eyes, but he had been a Turk once, so she just painted his head on Reno's body. Or at least she meant too...Yuffie's skills did not include painting. "I'm done too. How's Tifa doing?"
Aerith looked behind her at Tifa, who was painting furiously onto her canvas as if possessed. "I guess she's doing fine."
"Well, I wanna go home." Yuffie felt a little hot for some reason and she wanted a cold shower. She walked over to Tifa's canvas. "Hey Teef, can we go now?" Tifa ignored her and continued painting, so Yuffie tapped her on the shoulder, and was startled when Tifa cried out oddly in response. Yuffie had never heard that sound from Tifa, so she stepped next to her. "Are you okay, Teef?" she asked, then gasped in shock when she saw the painting.
Aerith was wondering what could have startled Yuffie so much, so she walked over to the other side of Tifa and gasped as well when she looked at the canvas. "Tifa, what...what have you done?!"
Tifa blinked in distress as she stared at her painting, and Mrs. Beasley came over as well, to see what was going on, and an echo of Reno's smirk appeared on the older woman's face, tinged with satisfaction of how her plan seemed to be successful. "You have talent." she told Tifa as she looked at the painting of a naked Reno posed just as he was, on a bed in the background, with Tifa in the foreground, wearing a robe just like the one Reno had on earlier, and she was starting to take it off, as evidenced by her bare shoulders and the happily expectant expression on Reno's face.
A slow flush creeped up her neck to color her cheeks. "I...I...I have to go now!" Tifa blurted out as she suddenly grabbed the canvas, making sure to grab it from the wooden frame since the paint was still wet.
Yuffie and Aerith stared after her and then at each other. "How are we going to get home now?" they asked each other simultaneously.
"Reno, would you mind being a gentleman again and drive these young women home?" Mrs. Beasley asked. "I'm sure you could fit them in, they're tiny. And you can fit plenty of leftovers in your trunk."
"Sure thing." Reno agreed as he wondered what was up with Tifa as well...she left like she was being chased by behemoths...at least she took her painting.
"You're a hero." Mrs. Beasley told him as she closed the passenger door of his red sports car on Yuffie and Aerith. Their canvases would be delivered to them later when the paint had dried. His trunk was indeed filled with delicious leftovers.
"And don't you forget it!" Reno teased her. "Okay ladies, let's get this show on the road!" he said as he started his car and squealed out of the parking lot.
'Don't you need to know where we live?" Aerith asked him.
"You forget who I am. I know where you both live." Reno reminded her. "So...um...what was Tifa's painting like?"
Aerith and Yuffie both turned red at his question. "I, um...you'll have to ask her that. It's her painting, not ours." Yuffie managed to say.
Reno found their reactions as odd as Tifa's, but he shrugged it off. He was rather amused by the idea of his naked body being displayed in their apartments. Well, he wouldn't like to upset Zack or Cloud, but there wasn't enough art appreciation in the world, he thought as he dropped Aerith off first, then Yuffie, before heading to his own place and stuffing his fridge and freezer full of home-cooked goodness.
