A/N from A.C.: Oh. My. Gaia. What... What is this? Het smut? In one of MY fics? The world is coming to an end! *flail*

Reno: Me

Tifa, Rude, Thexi: kickcows

~A Few More Years Later~

"Can I get you another, hon?" The owner of Seventh Heaven said from behind the bar.

Thexi shook her head, picking at her fries. "No, I'm okay, Tifa. Thank you, though." She had taken an early lunch from the hospital, and decided to stop by Seventh Heaven for a quick bite to eat, as she had to be back in surgery within the hour.

"You sure?" Tifa asked, holding up the soda dispenser. "It's not like I'm that busy, and I can always refill sodas for a cheaper cost than if it were liquor."

Giggling, the lightish redheaded girl shook her head. "No, no. I'm fine, really."

The chime sounded, signalling a new patron had arrived prior to the noon rush. "Sit anywhere you'd like," Tifa called out, not bothering to look up.

"I know th'drill, yo!" Reno cheekily replied, plopping down a few bar stools away from Thexi.

Sitting down beside his partner, Rude rolled his eyes. Not that you could see, as his eyes were always covered by his sunglasses. "Thanks, Tifa."

"No problem. Get you boys your usual?" Tifa asked, walking over to the two newcomers with menus in hand.

"You bet'cha, Tif'!" The redhead grinned happily.

Rude gave a short nod of his head. "Sure." Tifa walked away to grab two glasses, leaving the two Turks alone. "What is with you today, Reno?"

"What'cha mean, yo? 'm always happy!"

Smirking, the quieter of the two shook his head. "Not this happy. What gives?" Rude looked around and spotted what was probably the reason for Reno's overexuberance. "Is it that girl?"

Thexi paid the two strangers no mind, as she was pleasantly involved in the novel that she was reading. Trying to make it so she could read, and eat without dripping anything over her scrubs, made it a difficult challenge, but it seemed to be working just fine.

"Ain't she pretty, Rude..?" Reno smiled and looked over at her, "She's so pretty."

Pulling his sunglasses down, he took a quick look. "I suppose." He pushed his sunglasses back up his nose.

Tifa came over and set down two beers. "Here you go. Know what you want to order?"

Reno did not answer, he continued to gaze at the beautiful woman sitting a few stools down.

Rude snapped his fingers in front of Reno's face. "She's talking to you. What do you want to eat? You know we don't get a lot of time for lunch."

Thexi turned and looked over at the noise of a snap, and saw the two new customers sitting a few yards away from where she was. She locked onto aquamarine eyes, and felt her cheeks begin to grow warm with how intense the man's gaze was. She quickly looked back at her book, hoping she didn't make a fool of herself for looking too long.

Reno blinked at the snap and blushed when he met Thexi's eyes. He turned to look at his partner and frowned, "What th'ell, man?" He looked at Tifa and blushed more, "Sorry, yo. Um... Jes' fries, please."

"For you, Rude?" Tifa looked at him.

"Unlike him, I've got an appetite. I'll take a cheeseburger and fries."

Tifa smiled. "Good. I'll put your order in." She left the bar area and headed back towards the kitchen.

"So why'd ya snap a' me, yo? I didn' do nothin'."

"You weren't paying attention, that's why." Rude smirked. He looked over at the girl, and saw she was engrossed in a book. "Besides, she's not even paying attention to you."

Reno let out a little snort, "You know 'ow many people I think're hot don't pay attention to me? A lot, yo. Think I care? ."

Unbeknownst to the two of them, Thexi had decided to listen in on their conversation, intrigued by the talkative redhead. She felt her pulse quicken when he said that she was hot. I'm not hot. She looked down at herself casually, and shook her head. Especially not in these stupid scrubs.

"My question is, since when did you become an introvert? You're not shy." Rude shook his head, smirking.

"Who ever said I was shy, yo?"

Rude sighed. "Does everything have to be spelled out for you?"

"... maybe..."

Giggling quietly, Thexi looked over at the two of them. "I think what your friend is trying to say is to come over here and introduce yourself to me." She set her book down on the counter.

Reno shifted slightly on his bar stool and shot a quick glare to Rude before moving to sit beside Thexi, "Uh... hi, my name's Reno, yo."

She gave him a small smile. "Hi. My name is Thexi." She held out her hand to him, feeling that rush heading back towards her cheeks.

He sent her a grin and shook her hand, "Pleasure ta meetcha."

Looking over at the larger man, she flashed him a smile. "And you are?"

"Rude."

"I didn't say that," she blushed, letting go of Reno's hand.

Reno let out a laugh, "Naw, tha's 'is name."

"Oh..." Thexi looked over at him. "Well, pleased to me you as well." She stood up and walked over to him, extending her hand. "I'm Thexi."

Bringing her hand up to his lips, he pressed a soft kiss on the back of her hand. "Pleased to meet you, Thexi."

The redhead Turk pouted and glared at his partner, "The fuck, yo?"

Rude let go of her hand and gave Reno another smirk. "Relax. I was just being polite."

Blushing, Thexi walked back over to her stool. "I hate to cut our meeting short, but I have to get back to work." She looked over at Tifa. The buxom woman walked over to them.

"Need a to-go box, Thexi?"

"Please?" She nodded, gathering up her things. "It was nice meeting the two of you." She looked at Reno, meeting his eyes once more.

Reno smiled, "Yah... Nice meetin' you too..." He tried his very best not to swoon too much.

Tifa boxed up the remainder of her lunch. "Don't worry about the bill. You can pay next visit." She gave the food to the nurse.

"Thanks, Tifa. I appreciate it." She looked over at two men. "Perhaps we'll see each other again?"

"I hope so..."

Making a quick decision, Thexi set her to-go box down and grabbed a napkin. Reaching for a pen, she scribbled her number down on it. Capping the pen, she set it back down on the bar and handed the napkin to the redhead. "Here's my number. Call me if you want. Or text me. If I don't get back to you right away, it's not because I'm ignoring you. My line of work makes it difficult to answer the phone right away." She smiled and picked up her box. "Thanks again, Tifa!" She headed out of the bar, trying to not show her giddiness as she headed back to work.

"Will do, yo!" Reno called after her, quickly putting the napkin in his jacket pocket.

Tifa shook her head. "You better be nice to her. She's a good girl."

"You know me, Tif'. I ain't mean to my partners, am I?"

Rude snorted. "Define 'mean', Reno."

Blinking innocently, Reno turned to look at Rude, "Am I mean, yo? You know what I mean."

"No matter, I'll make sure he doesn't screw this one up, Tifa." Rude gave the woman a rare smile.

Tifa nodded. "Thank you." As she headed back towards the kitchen, she casually said, "You know, she does come in here most evenings as well." Ducking into the kitchen, she left the two men alone.

"... I'm comin' here tonight."

Rude smirked. "Of course you are." He picked up his beer. "And what if we get an assignment, hmm? What's your plan, then? She did give you her phone number."

"I'll call'er then!" He stuck his tongue out at Rude and huffed.

Walking back out with their plates, Tifa set the fries down in front of Reno. "Just be nice, that's all I ask. She works long hours." She set Rude's burger down in front of him. "Anything else for you boys?"

"No, m'am, I think I'm good." Rude said, picking up his burger.

"I'll be nice, Tif', promise, yo." Reno smiled and nommed a fry happily.

The buxom brunette nodded, her hair falling over her shoulder. "Enjoy, then." She headed towards the other end of the bar, where a few more patrons had sat down. The lunch rush was well on its way.

Rude's phone buzzed on the counter. He picked it up and flipped it open. "Looks like we gotta head back to the office."

"Seriously, yo?" Reno swallowed the fry he was munching on, "Already?"

"Guess we'll have to get our food to go." Rude looked up and made eye contact with Tifa, who walked back over to them. "Tifa, we gotta go. Can we get this to go?"

Tifa nodded, and disappeared to grab two containers. She set them down on the bar. "You going to come back later, Reno?" She looked at the redhead.

"Damn right, yo. When she comes by, be sure ta tell 'er that I'll be back!"

Rude pulled out some gil and set it on the counter. "Thanks, Tifa. You're a real saint." He grabbed both boxes and stood up.

"Am not," Tifa said, shaking her head. "Fine, see you guys later."

"Bye, Tif'!" Reno smiled happily and followed Rude as he headed out the door.

Walking out to the street, Rude looked at his partner. "Try not to daydream too much this afternoon, okay?"

"No promises, par'ner."

…

Thexi struggled to get her key in the door, as the redhead she had met earlier in the day was kissing the back of her neck. Moaning softly, she tried to concentrate, but was failing miserably.

"Reno...I gotta get the door open..."

The Turk groaned against her soft skin and ran his hands down her sides, "But ye taste so nice... Yer hair smells good too... mn..."

She rested her forehead against the door, giving up on trying to focus on the lock, as she leaned back into his touch. "Does...does it...?"

"Yah... it does..." He moaned and pressed closer to her, the swelling in the front of his pants gently nudging against her bottom. "Mn.. Thexi..."

She lifted her head and frantically worked on the lock, desperate to get into her place before she lost it. The lock twisted, the door bursting open. "Finally!" She dragged the redhead into her place, closing the door and relaxed against it.

Reno pressed her to the door and kissed her deeply, sweeping his tongue across her lower lip. Parting her lips with a soft sigh, she tentatively relaxed her tongue, her heart beating faster with the anticipation of feeling his tongue against hers for the first time. He licked at her tongue skillfully, moaning at the feel of it. He pressed his body closer to hers, trapping her against the door. Reaching up, she grabbed on to his suit jacket's lapels, moaning softly into the kiss.

The Turk broke the kiss and groaned low, moving to whisper into her ear, "Wh- Where's the bedroom..?"

"Over...over there..." Thexi motioned towards the door on the left. "Would you like to see it?" Heat raced through her body. She had never brought anyone back to her place before, especially not someone she had just met earlier in the day, but there was something about the redhead that made her bring him back to her place. And now, with talk of heading to the bedroom, she could feel herself becoming extremely aroused.

"Yes... Very much so, yes..." Reno groaned, pulling away from her body so she was free to move.

She dropped her purse on the floor by the door, and headed towards the bedroom. She flipped on the light and paused inside. "Here it is..." She was glad that she had decided to make her bed before she had left for work, a habit she was trying to keep. For once, it seemed to have worked in her favor.

Looking around, Reno smiled softly, "It suits you, yo." He wrapped his arms around her waist and planted a few kisses on her neck.

"S-Sorry there isn't much to see...I've only lived here for a couple of months..." She leaned her head back, giving him more access to her neck.

"No worries, babe." He gave a gentle nip, "I un'erstand..."

She walked backwards, and came to a stop when the back of her knees hit her bed. She sat down on the bed and looked up at him. "Do you? Does that mean your work takes up a lot of your time as well?"

The Turk nodded and gently touched the nurse's cheek. "It does, yah, and as an added bonus... I'm just a few apartments away from you in this building..."

"You are...?" She tilted her head towards his hand, enjoying the feel of palm on her cheek.

"I am, yo." He looked into her eyes, his own sparkling, "Ain't that a won'erful thing, babe? I'm very excited abou' tha'." He kissed her lips gently.

Thexi looked up into his aquamarine eyes. "So, this isn't a one night stand, then?"

"I sure as Hell hope not."

A weight lifted off her shoulders at the reassurance that this wasn't going to be just a fling. She laid back on the bed, her shirt riding up against the comforter. She smiled brightly, happiness flowing through her. "Wonderful."

Reno got onto the bed, straddling her waist. He grinned down at her, "You really wanna deal wit' me longer than jes' a day?"

"Depends..." She giggled, rolling her hips gently.

He moaned low in his throat, his hips rocking against hers, "'pends... on what...?"

Shivering at the sound of his moan, she pushed back against him. "On how things go...tonight..."

"Then... I hope you like my performance."

She looked up at him and smiled. "Shut up and kiss me already."

"Can do, yo." He leaned forward and captured Thexi's lips with his own, his tongue pushing to invade her mouth. She let him lead the kiss, enjoying the dominance he presented to her. Brushing her tongue against his, she let out another soft moan. Reno groaned and pressed his body closer to hers, pushing his tongue deeper in her mouth, unable to get enough of her unique taste. Reaching between their bodies, Thexi tried to unbutton the few buttons of his shirt, attempting to keep the kiss going. However, after one button was refusing to unclasp, she broke off the kiss and groaned impatiently.

"Need...to take this...off."

"A- Agreed..." He quickly, expertly, removed his shirt and planted a quick kiss on her lips, "Yer wearin' too much, babe..."

Taking off her scrub top, her cheeks became inflamed once more. Her choice of undergarments were not that of anticipating sexy time. "I swear, I own nice bras..." She tried to cover up the offending nude garment.

Reno let out a soft chuckle and set his hand on the arm that was trying to cover her chest. "No worries, yo. I'm wearin' chocobo boxers right now." He grinned, "So don' be embarrassed."

"I don't believe you." Thexi said, still keeping herself covered.

He stood up from the bed and undid his pants, letting them fall around his ankles. Standing there in chocobo print boxers, he looked at her, smiling softly, "Believe me now?"

She started to giggle uncontrollably. "Really? That's what you wear under a suit like that?"

"Hey, yo, I never claimed I was mature."

Feeling a bit better, she sat up and slipped off her pants, revealing heart patterned bikini briefs. "Me either."

"Good, 'cause mature people ain't any fun." He reached up and pulled the tie out of his hair, slipping it over his hand and onto his wrist for safe keeping. "You wan' me naked first, yo?" He arched a brow, smirking.

She stared at his hair, fascinated at how long it was without being it its ponytail. "Huh? Did you say something?" She asked when she noticed him looking at her.

He laughed, "Yer funny, yo." He crawled onto the bed and sat up on his knees, "You like my hair tha' much?"

"It's a lot longer than I thought it was." She reached up and touched it gently, running her fingers through it.

"Mn..." He leaned into the touch and purred, "You c'n pull on it if ya want, I ain't against a lil' rough-housin'."

Thexi felt a thrill race through her as she gently tugged on his follicles. "You aren't...?"

Moaning low, Reno gave a small shake of his head, "Not at all, yo..."

"Do you..." She kissed his lower neck as she spoke softly, "have...a rubber...?"

"Y- Yeah..." He let out a groan, "Mn... jes'... lem'me get it.."

She pulled on his hair more, nipping gently at the base of his neck. "That means I gotta stop then..." Licking his skin, she moaned softly into his ear. "And I don't think I want to stop..."

"I don'.. mn... I don' wantcha ta stop..." He tilted his head slightly to offer more of his neck to her.

Thexi licked his neck some more, then pulled back. "Get the condom. I don't think I want to wait too much longer for that..." She smirked as she reached behind her back and unclasped her bra, allowing the garment to fall off of her body and onto the bed.

"Fuck..." Reno groaned low and watched as the garment fell to the bed. He reached forward and gently cupped one of her breasts in his hand. It appeared as though he hadn't heard a word she said, too distracted by her beautiful body.

Moaning softly, she leaned her head back. "Mmm...your hand..."

"You like it..?" His other hand traveled to cup her other breast and he fondled the both of them gently.

"Yes..." She half moaned, half whispered. "Very much so..."

"I gotta pull away fer a moment, though.." He whispered close to her ear, his lips brushing the shell of it.

"O-Okay..." She shivered as his lips touched her hot skin.

He slowly pulled away from her and turned. Leaning over the side of the bed, he reached into his suit jacket's pocket and pulled out a condom. He sat back up on his knees and smiled at her, "'ere we go."

"I hope you plan on taking off those boxer," she giggled nervously. "Otherwise, this might be a very awkward experience for the both of us. And I don't know about you, but I'm not one for awkward sex."

"I'll take 'em off. 'course, yo. But you gotta take off yer panties too." He dropped the condom to the bed and slipped out of his boxers, his hard member slapping wetly against his stomach. He groaned low, reaching down to touch himself gently, "Yer so beautiful.. you know that, right?"

She sat up on her knees, slowly slipping them down her legs. "Thank you..." She finished slipping them off and dropped them on the floor with her discarded bra. "You're not so bad looking yourself..."

He cupped her cheek and leaned closer, kissing her deeply. His free hand travelled down to settle on her hip, thumb rubbing the skin there gently. She moaned into the kiss, stroking her tongue against his, goosebumps appearing on her arms as their tongues intertwined. The Turk broke off the kiss and groaned low in his throat.

"I don' think... I c'n wait much longer, babe..."

Blushing at the pet name, she simply nodded her head as she laid back on the bed.

Reno picked up the condom and ripped the packet open; he rolled it onto himself and shivered slightly, watching her lay back in bed. He crawled on all fours over her and looked into her eyes, "Tell me now... if there's anythin' yer against, kay?"

"Like anal?" She smirked, watching his reaction.

A dark blush crossed Reno's cheeks and he nodded, "Y- Yeah... like that..."

"Thanks for asking," she lifted herself up and kissed him softly. "Let's take it slow, yeah?"

"'course," Reno mumbled against her lips. "Can I enter you, babe..? Are you ready...?"

Laying back down on the bed, she spread her legs a little. "I don't know...why don't you touch me and find out?"

Moaning, Reno gently caressed between Thexi's legs with his hand. He felt a pleasured shudder race up his spine and out of instinct, he pushed a finger inside her, "Shit..."

"Ahhh!" Thexi tossed her head back as she pushed back against his finger.

"Feels... so nice inside you, babe..." He pushed his finger in deeper and groaned low in his throat, "So warm..."

She spread her legs more, moaning as his finger penetrated her more. "Gaia...your finger..."

"It feel good inside ya, yo?" He pulled his finger out a little and pushed in again.

Biting her lower lip to quiet her loud moan, she nodded her head. She gripped the bed sheet tightly, rocking her hips with his ministrations.

"Can... Can I put in something bigger, Thexi..?" Reno blushed a little more, his finger stilling.

She nodded her head, looking up at him, staring at the red crescent markings underneath both of his eyes. "Please..."

The Turk pulled his finger out gently and positioned his hips. He leaned down and captured her lips before pushing deep inside her. She let out a sharp cry into his kiss, arching up off the bed to press against his chest. Reno's hands travelled to her sides and slipped his arms under and around her. His hips rocked slowly, pushing deeper inside her with each movement. Reaching up, she wrapped her arms around his back, and quickly found leverage by threading her fingers through his hair. After what he had mentioned earlier, she did not hesitate when she pulled gently on his red locks, breaking off the kiss with a soft moan.

A loud moan escaped the redheaded Turk's lips, his hips speeding up as soon as his hair was pulled. "Fuck!"

"Too...much...?" She moaned, relaxing her grip on his hair, rocking fast with him.

"F- Feels so good!" He pushed deep inside her, pressing his body close to hers.

Thexi cried out as she felt him push against her g-spot, making her body quake. She pulled on his hair more, shouting, "Like that!"

Reno moaned loudly, his pace quickening, "Did I find yer... spot, babe..?"

Words failed her as she climaxed, her moans echoing off her bedroom walls with no inhibition left in her body. She only cared about how incredible her body felt, and how good the redhead felt being buried deep inside of her, making her come over and over.

Unable to hold out any longer, Reno released deep inside the nurse, his seed being captured by the condom. He let out a cry of her name when he came. Thexi trembled, holding him close to her as they both came down from their release, panting softly against his chest. Reno rested against her body, holding her form close as he panted softly. She let go of his hair, placing a soft kiss against his chest.

"I think...you are...gonna be...trouble..." Thexi panted softly, grinning as she looked up into his eyes.

He supported himself with his hands and gently pulled out of her. He sat on the bed beside her, panting. "Wh- What do y- you mean?"

"That was amazing..." She turned on her side, scooting closer to him. "I hope you're not the type to just leave a girl after the deed is done."

He shook his head and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her closer, "No' at all, yo... I'm loyal. Promise, babe."

"What time..." She let out a soft yawn as she reached over to her alarm clock, "do you need to be at work?"

"Eight... wha' 'bout you..?"

"Six..." She set her her alarm for 5:15. "You can sleep here until you have to go to work, if you'd like. Just make sure to lock the door behind you when you leave." She set her alarm back down on her nightstand, snuggling against his chest. She traced a line over what looked like a scar. "How'd you get this?"

He kissed her cheek gently, "Thank you, and I don' exactly remember. It's... either from when I was a kid 'r from when I was on a mission..."

"Mmm...Mission? You never told me what you did for a living..."

"Oh, 'm sorry, yo. I'm a Turk."

Barely able to keep her eyes open, she didn't quite hear what he had said. But, being the nice girl that she was, she replied in a soft voice, "Mmm...A Turk...that's...nice..." She began to doze off, her breathing becoming slow and even.

Reno chuckled softly and kissed the top of her head, "Rest, yo."

…

He had kept his promise to her, and had stayed there the entire night. She woke up two minutes before her alarm was set to go off, and quickly set it to 7:00 for the redhead. She disentangled herself from his arms, placing a soft kiss on his cheek. "Hope you have a good day, Reno. I'll text you when I can."

Giving a small, half asleep snort, Reno rolled onto his stomach, "Mn... kay..."

She smiled softly with his response, and made her way to the bathroom with a small bounce in her step.
