I can't remember how long it's been since that sour stench burned my nose. The lifeblood of the planet circulating through the air staining your clothes with that raunchy scent of mako. I savored the smell every day Reno came into the pristine halls of our castle smelling like he'd just come from the inside of a reactor. Not only for the nostalgic sentiment of it all but also the amusing reactions of Saix and Zexion bitching about the foul pollution burning their delicate noses. Pansies, they wouldn't last a day back home.
"Damn, bro." Reno's lips twisted into that wry little smirk when he entered and found my nose attached to his shoulder yet again. "Do I smell that bad?"
"No." I latched onto my younger twin, inhaling the intoxicating scent of the planet mixed with noxious emissions of the urban lifestyle. "You smell that damn good."
"Like Midgar?"
"Like Midgar." I held tightly to Reno unable to tear myself away from the stifling scents, absolutely enthralled by the warmth of the memories it awoke within my empty soul. Every breath brought back the memories of a forgotten childhood devoured by the darkness. Fuzzy images, charred remains of pictures trying to be haphazardly stuck together with no idea how they fit. Reno gently trailed a hand through my spikes, smiling that cocky little grin that usually ended up with us tangled in sweaty sheets.
"Remembering something?"
"A little.." I tried to call back the faded memories, getting bits and pieces that burned brighter than others slowly weaving them back together. Him and I in the back of a car, bent over a table howling and moaning shamelessly. The visions sent my blood pumping southward. Reno slid up into my lap, our lips locking hungrily savoring the nostalgic sensations. My body arced into the intrusive touch up my shirt teasing all the little place that made me squirm and whimper. He knew just how and where to touch, how to send me wild. We were twins, we understood each other better than anyone.
The memories came rushing back of our first night together, how strange it had been. How sure we had been of the interaction. Being brothers did not matter at all. We were two halves of a whole destined to rejoin back into one again. It was completely natural to fall back into sweaty sheets and scream each other's names to the glow of the Shinra building outside our window. I remember how beautiful the metropolitan cityscape was. How the lights danced and flickered in windows and skyscraper dominating the polluted skies. Bucking and rocking into Reno's absolutely amazing mouth blending all the colors and lights into one giant mass. A strangely comforting charm one could only behold in Midgar.
Teeth seized the hardening bulge and sank down sending painful white light through my head. It felt so damn good I was dizzy, arching into that mouth begging him to continue. How nostalgic all those touches made me. The feeling of his mouth around my throbbing need. The sensations that stole away my breath and consiousness rocking up into his tight body. The kisses, the warmth, the security. It was all so familiar...
"R-Reno!" The explosions were familiar too. White hot blasts that blanked your mind and made the earth give out from under you. Pure ecstasy that made you scream and moan like some cheap corner whore. Then came the tender embrace of two souls together into one. Strength, warmth, security. The feeling of being complete and whole with him in my arms... It made me nostalgic all over again. I couldn't believe any of Xemnas's 'we can't feel' bullshit. There's no way this was some dream.. This was no illusion. My brother, my heritage, my birthplace.
I don't think I could ever truly forget this.
