" Good night Tifa!" Yuffie called out from her car. Tifa practicly stumbled up to her door step before nearly falling over as she waved to her friend.

" Nighty nigh!" She humored before blowing her a kiss. Tifa then fell inside of her house once she unlocked the door and started laughing uncontrollably as she picked herself up from the ground. She hadn't intended on drinking so much but for some reason a few memories had crept upon her festering mind so she made the wise decision to silence it with cheap lemon drop shots.

She hadn't even bothered to shut her door behind her, due to the fact that her attention span was a short one in her current state. She then drug herself onto the couch and collapsed upon it. Tears now stung at her eyes as she began to shake.

" Shit…" She gasped between sobs. Her fingers dug into the sofa cushion, her body desperate for some physical relief from the pain.

Reno had followed her home on his motorcycle, keeping a decent distance so that Yuffie would not take notice to her. He parked his bike three houses down from hers and waited for Yuffie to drive off. Once she was gone Reno approached Tifa's house and was surprised to find her door still open. He rested his frame against the side of the house and listened to the soft cries from within.

' What happened, she looked like she was having such a good time…' Reno mused to himself. He knew he couldn't just barge in on her, it would be too obvious so he sat and waited. Eventually her sobs quieted and then there was silence. Reno waited against the side of the house for a few more minutes before mustering up the courage to peak inside. There he saw Tifa Lockheart fast asleep on the couch. Reno brought a hand to his temple as he released a sigh. He couldn't just leave her like this so he stepped inside the house and shut the door behind him. His footfalls were silent, a byproduct of being a Turk. He now lingered above the raven haired beauty before kneeling down by her side. His cyan eyes drank up every inch of her sensuous body before his hand reached out, as if it had a mind of its own. His touch was innocent and well intended, his fingers lacing through her silk locks of hair. She was a masterpiece, and to see something so beautiful in such a saddened state almost sent Reno into a fit of rage. Why anyone had a desire to cause this beautiful creature sadness was beyond him.

' But this is just a job…' Reno reminded himself as he quickly withdrew his hand from her hair and sighed. He then took in a sharp breath and smiled. She smelled like Sweetpea and wildflowers, it suited her.

' This is just a job…right?' Reno now began to question himself as his cheeks turned scarlet. The realization that he was looking at her in a different demeanor was enough to cause him embarrassment. What if she woke up right then? How would he explain?

He shook such thoughts out of his head as he reached down and scooped up the woman in his arms. He then carried her into her bedroom and cautiously set her on the bed. His fingers sprung to life once more , carefully removing her shoes. He then pulled the sheets down and tucked her in and stood above her. Two of his fingers moved to his lips and pressed against them before moving to her cheek. He lightly traced them over her cheekbones before he quickly walked out of the house and shut the door behind him. There he took his usual perch, in the shadows of the porch, within an earshot incase he was needed.

" This job is getting complicated…"
