Reno stood next to Elena, sipping from his water bottle. They had just been talking about going shopping after work because, hey, he needed clothes. He only had one suit after all.
Elena leaned over and whispered something in his ear, "You're gay, aren't you?"
Reno's grip tightened on the bottle in his hand. Slowly, he turned to face the woman, eyes wide and mouth agape.
"No. What made you think that?" he said acting astonished that she even had the thought in her mind.
"A little birdie came to me and told me," the blonde grinned mischievously.
"Well, that birdie is wrong. Hell, me? Gay? Ha. Yeah, right. That secretary," he mentioned the brunette in the corner, "We fucked a few days ago. Go ask her."
He smirked and sauntered away, trying to not show his fear of Elena knowing. Once around the corner, Reno ran. The redhead ran straight for Tseng's door and kicked it open with no warning at all. In a blur, all Rude could see was a red-haired man run straight for his superior. Rude jumped back, rather taken back.
Meanwhile, Elena shook her head amusedly knowing that Reno didn't know that it had been the secretary that had told her about that... night.
Tseng's head flicked up to see Reno fly in. The redhead made a quick punch for the face, then switched tactics and went for the belt. All he could do was punch, almost blindly, for his boss. The redhead just knew it was Tseng who had told Elena. Who else could have told her? Who else knew? Tseng quickly block each of the attacks easily; he was commander after all. He grunted slightly as one of the hits had a rather hard impact.
"Reno!" the Wutaian's voice sounded strained. "Reno, what has gotten into you?"
Tseng found an opening. He grabbed Reno's arm, spun the redhead around and shoved him up against the wall. He turned to Rude and spoke in a flat voice.
"Out."
Rude quickly left without hesitation. There was no way he wanted to be a part of this fight. As the bald headed man left, Reno breathed, but not calmly, to catch his breath.
Once the redhead could speak, he shouted at his superior, "I knew I couldn't trust you! You fucking bastard!"
He thrashed against the steady hold of the ebony-haired man's grip. Tseng blinked but kept a firm hold on the struggling redhead.
"What on Gaia are you talking about, Reno?" his brow furrowed. "Tell who what?"
Reno cursed at Tseng's strength as he tried to bite the darker haired man's hands.
"You know perfectly well! You told Elena! I even bet you told everybody," his aqua eyes flared in anger.
The Wutaian shook his head. "I haven't even seen Elena today. I've been working on paperwork all day so I was too busy to speak with anyone. And why the hell would you think I would tell? I am the Turk commander meaning I do not give out information even under pain of death about any of my Turks," Tseng explained somewhat impatiently.
Reno stared silently at the Wutaian, anger still built up from the thought of anyone knowing his precious secret. His eyes glared at Tseng for a moment, then relaxed. Reno tried to relax his muscles to no use; he was still angry.
"Then how did she find out?" he growled at the man in front of him.
Tseng arched an eyebrow at Reno. "I don't know, Reno," the Wutaian said calmly. "Think about it. Who else would know?"
Reno thought for a few moments. At times like this, his mind didn't make all the connections. He became angry at the first name that popped into his head.
"Rude. Rude found out and told her! I always knew he would backstab me!" Reno pushed Tseng with all his strength and ran for the door.
However, the redhead tripped on a pile of papers and fell to the ground. The Wutaian grabbed his second from off the floor and made him sit down in a spare chair.
"What is the matter with you and papers...?" Tseng shook his head tiredly as he stood in front of the door. "No, Reno. Rude doesn't even know you are gay yet. Unless, you have told him, which I highly doubt. So keep thinking."
Reno was quiet and abnormally still (for Reno) as he thought of who it could be. The floor was looking particularly littered with papers as he stared at it.
"Tseng," he asked, "do girls have that weird... 'gay radar' thing?"
Tseng gave him an odd look while he reached down to pick up the scattered papers yet again. "Some do, depends. Why?"
"I think Elena does," the redhead got down on all fours to grab the loose papers. "Sorry, papers don't like me, boss," he said as he handed Tseng the papers from the floor. Suddenly, instead of getting up, Reno let all the strength in his arms and legs go. The redhead just lay on the wooden floor, face down.
Tseng blinked at his second. "Reno, did you just collas—Never mind. You know... the secretary could have easily told Elena. Those two seem to be pretty close."
Reno paused for a second and sighed. When he spoke, his voice was muffled from the floor. The male rolled over onto his back and looked up at Tseng with his aqua eyes and asked, "Is it alright if we fire her?"
He smiled lightly and stretched. On the other hand, Tseng's face adopted a serious look.
"Even if someone is just a secretary, they serve for life. If you want to leave the Turks, death is the only way out. People in this building know too much. So unless we know for a fact that you aren't going to say anything and we keep an eye on you, you can't leave the Turks without dying. Even you know that, Reno," the Wutaian cautioned the redhead.
"Ah well, I'm off to go and kill her," Reno said jokingly as he got to his feet in one leap and brushed himself off.
He stretched once more and started for the door. Tseng grabbed the redhead's wrist and pinned him to the door. His body hovering next to Reno's and his face a breath away.
"Don't joke about things like that," the Wutaian muttered seriously, eyes half lidded.
Reno quivered from the pressure of Tseng's weight. His breath was better today than yesterday, knowing that after lunch Tseng always brushed his teeth.
"Yeah, yeah," replied the redhead as he tried to pull away from his superior's grip.
Tseng reluctantly let Reno go and opened the door. "Now, out of my office. I still have work to do, and the four of us are on a mission the day after tomorrow, understood?"
"Yessir," Reno mumbled as he walked out of the room.
After the door shut, Reno walked straight up to the secretary's desk. "Hey, can I speak with yah?" he asked, grinning.
The secretary looked up and let out a small squeak of what was possibly utter terror. "Y-yes..?"
Reno leaned in close to the woman, mouth almost touching her ear. "Next time you wanna talk about what happens in bed, I'll tell all the men about your little natty-do on your leg. You know... this one." Reno touched her left thigh and leaned back. He cocked his head to the side and smiled.
"So sweets, thanks for a few nights ago," he said, loud enough for others to hear. He was aiming for the rest of the Turk men to realize that she was nothing more than slut.
The secretary's jaw dropped. She opened and closed it like a fish out of water. She abruptly stood up and ran for the bathroom. Just then, the Wutaian happened to walk by heading for the elevator and he chuckled. Yep, that was Reno alright.
Reno glided for his office beaming at his own accomplishment. He noticed the Wutaian waiting by the elevator and jumped behind a corner. Now why did he just jump behind the corner? It's not like he did anything wrong. Holy shit. This feeling. He knew what it was. Damn Tseng's all-too-closeness.
Tseng snorted as he saw tuffs of vibrant red peaking from behind the corner at a side glance. The elevator arrived and the Wutaian smoothly stepped in and pressed for the top floor: Rufus's office.
Reno stepped out of the corner and regained control of himself. Now, come on. It was just a little overreaction, right? The redhead stepped into his office and sat in his chair. It wasn't soon that the heat of the day took him and the redhead fell asleep on the paperwork.
