[FIC: word prompt #2 ammunition]

Tseng frowned as he watched them. He'd known for awhile, simply from being observant, but now they were being far too obvious. If they walked any closer together, they'd be holding hands; if they spoke any more intimately, they'd be kissing.

Personally, he didn't care. Rufus's private affairs were none of his concern, and despite his appearance, Reno was a professional above all. He was loyal to the Turks and loyal to Shinra. In a way, Tseng considered Reno's affection for Rufus an extension of that loyalty.

However, there was no telling how long the president would turn a blind eye to his son carrying on with such a high ranking employee. He didn't care that Rufus was homosexual, but he did care that his occasionally patricidal son was closely associated with one of the Turks. Certainly, their relationship was as innocent as any between two people so passionately in love, but just the same...it was best for the president to assume it was a casual affair. Men had needs, even workaholics in high places, and Tseng took great pains to depict it as such if ever the president expressed wariness.

Yet if they kept conducting themselves in public like a couple besotted teen-agers, Tseng would have to step in. Both would certainly be lectured on discretion in the near future, and if that didn't make a difference, more drastic measures would have to be taken.
