Author's Note: Chapter 2! I love Final Fantasy VII especially The Turks. I couldn't help but bring in my two favourite characters from the game. Advent Children made me fan-girl so much with the amount of air time they got. Any who, onwards to fantastic flipping fish!

Disclaimer: I own nothing; except Noah the Notorious!

"Hey lazybones get up! If you're done moping; I'd like to get started formulating a plan." Reno yanked the covers off of Axel's bed.

His brother was a mess; he had woken up the previous night thanks to Axel's annoying World Ends with You ringtone. He had heard what had gone on (Roxas' brother Cloud had filled in what Roxas had said) and felt sorry for his younger brother. He was infatuated with the little blond and it was Reno's job as a brother to get Axel laid.

Noah knew Reno would help the red-head so hatched a plan to drag him out of bed. This would be one of his greatest ever escapades! He filled his mouth with water; took a swim/run up and jumped out of his bowl onto the bed. Axel's eyes burst open and he stared wide-eyed at his fish. Noah spat the water into his owner's eye. Axel immediately shot away rubbing away the liquid, causing him to fall off of the bed. The fish did a little wiggle in celebration, being sure to show the red-head his little jig; before hopping back up onto the table then back flipping up a stack of CDs and back into his bowl with a resounding splash.

The whole escapade would have been remarkable for any ordinary fish; but this was Noah the Notorious – acts such as what he had just performed were common place. Noah swam a victory lap of his bowl, ignoring Axel's scowl following him. Blooming ninja fish!

Meanwhile in Noah's mind: I am the one and only! Nobody I'd rather be, I am the one and only, you can't take that away from me!

Axel eventually made his way downstairs to where Reno sat on the sofa drinking what looked like coffee. Rude was obviously around; Reno never made coffee. Mostly down to the fact that Reno couldn't make coffee; not without giving people semi-permanent tans and severe burns. How Cloud's skin actually retained the colour of coffee for three weeks I will never know.

Axel's brother and his boyfriend had gotten together after Reno, Rude; their friends Tifa and Yuffie as well as Axel decided to play spin the bottle. Tifa and Yuffie had kissed first - much to the delight of a perverted Reno. (He was swiftly karate chopped in the head by both of the girls. Axel had just laughed at his brother.)

Rude had spun Tifa, who refused on account of just having her turn – Reno was relieved as he knew Rude had had a crush on her in the past.

Rude spun again and got Axel who silently left the room; apparently needing to pee.

On the third attempt, Rude spun Reno. The whole group celebrated mentally. When the pair kissed they couldn't seem to stop. In fact nothing seemed to be able to tear them from their tonsil-tennis game. After a very long, scarring make out session that caused Axel's eyes to 'burn'; they got together, meaning they went upstairs and 'played chess' if you get what I mean. (If you don't know what I mean; it involves a bed, two bodies and lots of body contact. And they weren't playing Twister!)

The distressing thing was; they had been friends and work partners for years before. They were in exactly the same situation as Axel and Roxas, yet they were the one's to get together. Axel was envious of them but he couldn't be sour: Rude was awesome and he made Reno happy. Plus he had taught Axel how to throw a punch; which had impressed a certain little blond very much.

While Reno was just Reno: the most stupid, annoying, egotistic guy in the universe – he was the best brother Axel could have hoped for. He was even the one who took Axel to get his tattoos done!

"Ok lil' bro: time to commence Operation AkuRoku." Axel scoffed. Reno had had some ridiculous ideas in the past but 'AkuRoku' was a new level of idiocy.

"Be happy; his previous ideas were much more….graphic." Axel jumped and turned to Rude who stood in the doorway with his hands in his pockets; his ever present shades sitting on the bridge of his nose. Rude was intimidating if you didn't know him – if you did, you knew how much of a big softie he was.

"Really, what were his other ideas?" Axel was joking to hide how dead he felt. He was certain Reno knew but what had he told Rude? The tall bald guy walked up to him and placed his hand on his shoulder in a comforting way as if he could read Axel's thoughts.

"Well there was Operation: Axel Rox his Body, Operation: My Little Seme or my personal favourite Operation: 50 Shades of Sexy-time."

Axel should have foreseen the stream of innuendos. Looking back 'AkuRoku' wasn't too bad. Rude pushed him toward the sofa and sat him next to his brother. Rude then sat on Axel's other side. Both of the older males looked at the red-head: Rude with his indifferent glare and Reno with his smug, knowing grin. Axel curled in on himself; all of his usual confidence banished and replaced with insecurity and apprehension.

"Before I unleash Reno I have to ask you one thing: do you love Roxas?" Axel took his head out of his hands and stared into Rude's covered eyes; his own empty, hollow, longing. Apparently that was not enough answer for Rude.

"I love him just as much as you love Reno." Rude nodded, satisfied with the answer. This seemed to be the indication Reno was waiting for as he leapt upon his brother and crushed him in a hug. Rude joined the embrace shortly after, undoubtedly thanks to Reno's puppy dog eyes. Axel was unused to his brother being so affectionate so the fact that Rude was joining in was just plain terrifying.

Rude had once told Axel; after much persuasion; that he hated physical contact. It unnerved him and made him uncomfortable. So it made Axel feel a little better to know the big guy felt comfortable enough to hug him. They were going to help him get Roxas back; everything would be okay.

"Onto business then; this is what we'll do…."

Hey guys! I was wondering whether or not I should write some stuff with what Reno and Rude get up to in The Turks. I think I might write some FF7 stuff because I love it! Anyway; ciao!
