He's Late, Chapter 2
Reno/Rude
Summary: Insight onto why Rude was late
Enjoy the insight~
Rude was tired.
Everything was sore, he had cuts and bruises everywhere and damn it he needed a hot shower.
He walked through the front doors of the new Shinra headquaters and headed for the elevators. He pushed the "P" button right beside the door and they shut silently.
As the stupid music in the elevator floated in one ear, and out the other, he looked at his watch. Damn, he thought, Reno's gonna be pissed. He promised his redhaired lover that he would be home this morning.
It was nearing three in the afternoon.
Well, I guess I could tell him my ride was delayed... And it was. After completing his mission, the airship that was going to bring him home had broke down and needed repairs. Which HE had to help with, which explained the deep purple bruise on his ribs and the burn on his left shoulder.
The elevator doors opened and he quickly stepped out, heading down the hall towards the double doors with a golden 'R' written across them. He knocked, pretty hard if he was paying attention, and waited for an answer.
"Enter." He heard muffled through the door.
Rude quickly but calmly shuffled to the fairly large desk where President Rufus Shinra sat. "I'm back from my mission, sir." He handed the blond a folder he produced from his blazer, "Here is my report."
"Well done, Rude," Had Rude been paying attention, he would have noticed the president was flushed, was sweating a bit, and was panting somewhat heavily. He also would have noticed the slight shake of his president's hand when he handed him an envelope back, "Here is your pay."
"Thank you, sir." He simply took the envelope, put it in his blazer pocket, and turned, "Have a nice day, sir."
"You as well, Rude." Rude would have sworn his boss' voice was now forced, but still wasn't paying attention.
And he would have heard the cry of 'Oh, GODS, Tseng, MORE!' had he been paying attention.
Yet, no, he wasn't. All he was focusing on now was getting home. Where a hot shower and a hot redhead were waiting for him.
~One Car Ride Later~
Rude took out the keys to the front door of his apartment, his hand shaking slightly from being so close to home. So close to his lover... And his pissed off voice.
Great.
He sighed, and quietly opened the door. Just say hi and rush to the shower, hopefully he'll forget he's mad.
He quickly passed the couch and threw a, "Hey, Red," Over his shoulder.
"Hey, babe," Oh, good. Not an angry response. He reached the bathroom and shut the door behind him. He loosened his tie and tossed his dirty blazer in the hamper. He reached down and turned the shower knobs, first hot, then cold. He pulled up the small tab and the water was directed up to the shower-head.
He started unbutton his shirt, when suddenly, he heard a loud, "RUDE!" and footsteps rushing down the hall toward him. The bathroom door slammed open and he was immediately graced with a weight in his arms and a tongue in his mouth.
... However the hell THAT got in there without his knowledge...
The mouth on his pulled away and his redhead grinned at him, "You're home, yo!"
Rude smiled, chuckled, and slipped his arms around Reno's waist, "Yeah, I'm home, Red. Miss me?"
"Hell yeah I did!" And he was given another kiss.
And as the heat from the hot water slowly started to pass over them, Reno pulled away again and gave Rude a seductive smirk that only meant one thing,
"Mind if I join you?"
He was gonna have one HELL of a good shower.
"Eh, what the hell?"
