Self-Perpetuating Prison; Chapter 10

Rude had wanted to wait up for the red head, but it was getting late and he had work in the morning. He had tried to call Reno to make sure that he was okay, but the idiot had left his phone behind so he had no way to contact him. Rude was awoken by a loud crash in the living room. He heard the red head swear and was relieved to hear that he was somewhat alright.

Rude walked into the living room and turned on the lights. He saw the red head sitting on the couch nursing his leg next to a crooked coffee table. He had obviously forgotten it was there in the dark and tripped over it. Rude rolled his eyes, "Reno, do you know what time it is?"

Reno shook his head, "No, I forgot my cell phone and I don't wear a watch."

Rude growled out angrily, "Yeah, I know, I called your cell phone 20 times before I found it in the couch cushions," Rude was mostly angry at the fact that he had gotten so worried over Reno and here he was in front of him acting like nothing was wrong.

"Oh! So that's where it was," he smiled, "I couldn't find it earlier, where did you put it?"

Rude frowned and ignored his question, "Reno, it's 5 o'clock in the morning! You've been gone for several hours, where were you?"

Reno looked at the bodyguard and blinked, "…are you mad at me?" he asked surprised.

Rude grit his teeth and shook his head, "Nah, of course not," he said sarcastically, "why would I be angry when I was waiting for you to come home and had no idea where you were or what you were doing and if you were okay?"

Reno limped over to Rude and wrapped his arms around his waist and rested his head on his chest, "I'm sorry Rude, I didn't mean to worry you. I lost track of time…"

Rude sighed and hugged the red head back, he really couldn't stay mad at him for long, "It's okay…here, sit down and let me take a look at your leg." He helped Reno over to the couch and sat him down. He rolled up his pant leg. A big bruise was already developing on his pale skin.

Reno looked at the bruise surprised and held his hands to his mouth, "Agh, Rude, do something before it eats my leg!"

Rude laughed, "Alright, wait here," he went to the kitchen and pulled out an ice pack and placed it on the red head's bruised leg. "This should help to keep it from getting worse."

Reno held the ice pack to his leg, "Phoo~, it's cold," he gave the bodyguard a toothy grin, "You could help keep the rest of me warm."

Rude grinned, "Okay, let me help you to the bedroom."

Reno hobbled quickly to the bedroom and lay down underneath the covers and smiled up at Rude. Rude tucked the blankets tightly around Reno and kissed him on the forehead. He went over to the closet and started to get dressed. "Hey~!" Reno whined, "Aren't you going to cuddle with me?"

Rude looked back at him and smirked, "No, I have to get to work, but you go ahead and get your rest."

Reno rocked back in forth in his blanket prison, "No fair! You tricked me!"

Rude laughed, "I can't help that you're so easy to trick."

Reno growled, "I'm going to make you pay for this!"

Rude grinned and continued to get dressed, "I can't wait."

After several minutes of struggling against the blankets the red head had finally fallen asleep. Rude finished tying his tie and then turned to look at Reno sleeping peacefully. Rude smiled at him and then left for work.

When Reno heard the door to the apartment shut he opened up one of his eyes slowly to make sure that the coast was clear. Reno sat up as quickly as he could with being tied up in the blankets. He untangled himself from the blankets and walked over to Rude's desk and pulled out his journal and grinned, "Too bad for Rude he writes down his weaknesses."

When Rude opened up the door to his apartment he was greeted by a wave of heat and the red head sitting on the couch in his boxers sucking on a popsicle and fanning himself while watching TV. Reno smiled when he saw the bodyguard enter, "Welcome home," he raised his boxers higher up on his legs and started fanning them.

Rude gazed at the half naked red head longingly and watched him as he licked up the side of the popsicle slowly.

Reno grinned and rested his arm over the back of the couch, "You gonna finish coming?"

Rude shook his head to keep out the visual image the red head's question had placed in his mind, "What?"

Reno grinned and licked his popsicle, "You gonna finish coming in?" he spread his legs wider apart and asked breathily, "You gonna enter already?"

Rude swallowed and shut the door behind him and tried to think about something other than the provocative red head sitting before him, "Ah, sorry…what's wrong with the AC?"

Reno waved his popsicle in the air as he spoke, "I'm not sure, I told the landlord about it, he said he'd come up and look at it when he has time," he put the popsicle back in his mouth and continued to suck on it and made slurping sounds as he did so.

Rude loosened his tie and wondered if the heat he was feeling was caused by the AC not working or Reno.

"Did you want some?" Reno asked Rude as he continued to stare at him.

"Huh?" Rude asked puzzled.

Reno grinned and held up the popsicle, "A popsicle. You haven't stopped staring at it since you walked in."

Rude shook his head, "Um, no, thanks."

Reno smiled, "Well, stop standing there and come watch TV with me." He patted the couch next to him.

Rude walked slowly over to the couch and sat down, unsure if he should stay in the same room. Reno quickly laid his head on the bodyguards lap and spread his right leg over the back of the couch and his left over the couch arm. Rude protested and lifted his arms away from the red head. "Don't you think it's too hot to…be touching?"

Reno shook his head and moved his popsicle in and out of his mouth as his gaze was focused on the TV giving Rude a good view of the popsicle action from the side, "Nah, it's fine, its not that hot."

Rude groaned inwardly at the red head's close proximity to his cock. "So…what are we watching?"

Reno smirked, "Where has your mind been? I've been watching porn."

Rude's saliva went down his air way and he coughed and looked at the red head shocked, "Porn?"

Reno looked up at the bodyguard and grinned, "Relax, I'm just kidding, I'm watching a comedy."

Rude nodded relieved. 'Maybe the comedy will get my mind off of Reno,' he thought. At that moment Rude's hopes were dashed by the TV screen suddenly going black.

Reno sat up, "What the hell?" He walked over to the TV and examined it, giving Rude the perfect view of his behind. Rude tried to avert his eyes from the red head's tempting ass. He wondered if the red head was doing this on purpose.

Reno sighed and stood up straight and placed his hands on his hips, "Well, I guess we'll have to do something else…." He turned to the bodyguard and grinned. "I know what we can do." He walked slowly over to Rude and placed his hands on either side of him and leaned in and whispered in his ear, "Let's…play Uno." He moved away and grinned.

Rude realized he had stopped breathing and took a breath, "Uno?"

Reno nodded, "Yeah, I picked up the game today while I was out, I thought it looked fun."

Rude nodded, "Alright, that's sounds fine." A game would get his mind off of his sexual thoughts of Reno.

Reno grinned, "Good, I'll go get the cards." He ran off into the other room then came back holding a deck of cards. He sat next to the bodyguard and dealt out the cards while holding his still unfinished popsicle in his mouth. "Okay, just match colors and number together. Got it?"

Rude looked at his cards then at the red head unsure, "Um, okay, why don't you go first?"

Reno nodded and crossed his legs and placed down a green eight. "Okay, your turn."

Rude looked at his cards again and unsurely placed down a blue eight, "Is this alright?"

Reno grinned, "Yeah, oh, you put down a blue card. That means you have to take off a piece of clothing."

Rude looked at the red head unsure, "You didn't cover this earlier when you were explaining the rules…."

Reno shrugged, "The rules are long. I'll just explain them as I go."

Rude frowned and looked at his cards, most of them were blue. "I wanna see those rules."

Reno smiled, "I misplaced them. Now take off an article of clothing."

Rude sighed and removed his tie. The red head smiled satisfactorily and laid down a yellow eight and grinned, "Your turn."

Rude examined his hand again and laid down a yellow two. He wondered if this card was safe to play, but Reno had put down a yellow card and nothing had happened.

Reno grinned, "Ah, a two. You have to say 'fuck'."

Rude looked at him questioningly, "Fuck?"

Reno nodded, "Yeah, but like you're having sex. Cry it out, like 'Fuck!'" the red head cried out has he demonstrated.

A blush crept over the bodyguard's cheeks. Reno looked at him expectantly. "…Fuck!" he cried out a little less enthusiastically than the red head.

Reno grinned, "I guess that's good enough." He laid down a yellow six.

Rude sighed and looked at his cards. He laid down a red six. Reno gasped. "What? What does that mean?"

Reno grinned and laid his hand on the coffee table face down and moved over to Rude and straddled his hips. He placed his hands on the bodyguard's chest and whispered in his ear, "Nothing. You're safe." He moved back to his place on the couch and put down a red five.

Rude tried to clear his head and focus on the messed up game they were playing. He placed down a blue five and removed his jacket. "How come I'm getting all the cards where I have to do stuff and you aren't?"

Reno smirked, "I'm putting down safe cards."

Rude frowned, "Well, maybe if I knew which ones were which."

Reno grinned and put down a green five. "You got one before."

Rude sighed, "What happens when I can't put down a card?"

Reno grinned and licked his popsicle, "You draw from the pile till you can go."

Rude nodded, "Okay," he drew a card from the deck and a moan escaped from the red head's lips. Rude looked over at him. "…you okay?"

Reno licked the popsicle and grinned, "I have to moan till you can go."

Rude looked at the card he had drawn and saw he couldn't go. He drew another card from the deck, "Mmm," then another, "Ah…nnn," then another, "Ah…ah!" then another, "Fuck!" then another, "ahn~" then another, "ah!" Rude realized he could have gone three cards ago and placed down a green three.

Rude unbuttoned his shirt a bit and fanned himself, "It sure is hot in here…isn't there something we can do with the AC while we're waiting?" He stood up and walked over to the thermostat. "…" he turned to Reno, "Reno, this isn't broken, it's been changed to heat…"

Reno looked at him surprised, "Oh really? Wow, silly me," he smiled. "I sure am glad that's solved."

Rude frowned, "Yeah…I guess I should tell the land lord he doesn't need to come up and fix the AC."

Reno bit his popsicle, "No need, I didn't talk to the land lord about it to begin with."

Rude looked at him stunned, "…what?"

Reno finished his popsicle and stretched and yawned, "Mmm, I'm beat." He stood up and walked towards the bedroom, "I'm going to bed. Night."

Rude stood by the fully working thermostat stunned and watched the scheming red head go into the bedroom. "…what the hell just happened?"
