A/N: Sorry. Uploading again as, for some reason, in the previous upload every single capital letter went missing. Strange stuff, I'm telling ya.

Cloud shoved his own phone into Reno's palm. "It doesn't have tracking. Call if you need help." He couldn't watch what Reno would do with those weapons, so he hurried down the stairs. He entered the code, twice when he choked the first time, and entered the long escape tunnel.

With the bomb tucked under his arm and weapons in hand, Reno crept out into the main room of the lodge. His eyes darted around looking for a place of concealment where he could both have a good view and a means of escape. It wouldn't do to be trapped. He had barely gotten into position when he heard pounding on the main entrance. After a few tooth jarring thuds the whole door, frame and all, crashed inward to fall to the floor in a warped heap that looked like twisted foil. So much for reinforced steel.

Reno swallowed hard. He was going to have to get drastic. The creature raised his head and the expression on its face was a mix of sadness, confusion and pain. It also seemed to be sniffing the air. Of course. Enhanced senses. It was trying to scent them like some nightmarish blood hound. There was going to be no choice. Reno gathered himself and threw lightning, fire, ice, everything at his disposal as a distraction while he dashed to the stairs leading to his hoped for escape. He carefully put the bomb inside some useless decorative vase and vaulted the stairs to race for the tunnel. If the bomb didn't kill the creature Reno hoped that it would at least injure it enough to prevent it following. The bomb should also collapse the upper floors into the basement and seal off the tunnel.

Reno clutched the detonator in one sweaty hand and strained his ears for the moment the creature was closest to the bomb. Nearly there. His other hand tapped out code for the door. Shit! He had miskeyed. No time. Reno depressed the detonator and fumbled to activate the barrier built into his EMR. It had barely shimmered into existence when the blast erupted and the force *blew* him through the door into the tunnel. He heard the roar of the collapsing flooring before his head and back struck something hard. Reno's last conscious thought was a prayer for his love's safety.

His heart lurched at the sound of the blast. He hadn't even made it far enough into the tunnel to see the end... and he hadn't heard the door open before the blast. Where was Reno?

Running back, Cloud was greeted by a wave of dust and debris. He didn't pause in the gathering darkness. He ran until the pile of rubble made him stop. The entrance was blocked, but Cloud stumbled over something that felt soft and organic and that gave him pause before he raised his sword to slash his way back inside.

On his knees, he felt the body he had tripped over and knew it was Reno. He didn't know if he was alive or dead and his heart constricted at the possibilities. Picking the form up after he holstered his sword he grunted in pain and shuffled back towards the exit.

The walk there took a life time. Along the way Cloud could feel life in the lifeless body of his lover and that was all he needed to make it to the end. When light graced them, he set his lover back on the cold floor. He didn't want to leave the tunnel, not knowing what was out there. He knew what was behind them and from here he could protect Reno. Out there...

Propping his back up against a wall, Cloud ran a sweaty hand over his dirty face and then searched his pockets. He kept a hand on Reno's chest to feel him breathe as he looked through his lover's address book. He dialed Rude and put the phone to his ear.

An explosion sent shock waves through the air that rocked the helicopter attempting to land. Grim faced and tense, Tseng fought for control of the bird and brought it safely down. Rude recognized the signature of his own work, and he wondered how desperate his partner had to be to use something that powerful. Armed with the finest and most destructive that Shinra technology had ever created, the Turks moved out in determined silence to rescue one of their own.

Rude felt his phone vibrating in his inner coat pocket. He breathed a small sigh of relief when the caller ID lit with Reno's name. Rude held up a hand to alert the other Turks and flipped open the phone.

"Partner, the boss will probably dock your pay for life for blowing up Healin."

Cloud was silent for a moment as he looked at his lover. "We're in the escape tunnel," he finally rasped. "Reno's unconscious." He closed the phone and scooted closer to his lover. "They're on their way. You'll be alright." He choked back a sob and realized his face was wet with tears. "Please wake up."

Reno hitched a small breath, coughed and moaned from the pain of the cough jarring his bruised body. What the hell? Car accident? Big, fucking Behemoth? Fight with Cloud?

Cloud. Memory slammed into him, and he opened his eyes, afraid of what he might see. He nearly choked on an unvoiced whimper of pain and uncertain terror. To his relief Reno immediately caught sight of the soft blue glow of his lover's mako eyes. Instinct had him attempting to visually check their surroundings, but the slightest movement sent ugly bolts of pain through his head and neck. He couldn't protect Cloud like that.

"Cloud," Reno managed a raspy whisper. "Potion?"

Just those two words brought on another coughing spasm that felt like broken glass in his chest. When he could finally gasp for air blood trickled from the corners of his mouth. Afraid to speak again and make things worse, Reno stared at Cloud. He tried to silently convey his need and urgency with his eyes.

In the murk of his terrified mind Cloud dimly recalled Reno handing him a potion or two. He cursed himself and tried to steady his shaking hand as he searched his pockets. Grabbing the glass container when his fingers bumped into it he drew it out slowly, afraid that he might drop it.

Scooting up behind Reno's head he eased the potion into Reno's mouth. "Don't move." He set the empty container aside and wiped the blood off his lover's face. "Do you need another potion?"

Reno shivered from the stress and unsettling feeling of his body very rapidly knitting itself together. It was a terrible, wrenching sensation and one he'd never get used to, but it was always better than the alternative. When he could move again, Reno rolled over to sit on his heels and wrap Cloud in his arms.

"Save it," Reno said against his ear. "I'm functional now. Things could get worse later."

With Cloud safely beside him, Reno slipped back into his coldly focused working mindset.

"What's the situation? Any sign of the thing?"

Cloud shook his head slightly and returned Reno's embrace. "No. I think he's gone." He tightened his arms and shivered with a mixture of relief and depression.

Pulling back he looked at Reno. "Can your phone be tracked anywhere? I know the man behind this isn't out there. Reno, I have to go to him if we want to finish this."

"Cloud, I..." Reno shook his head. "The phone can be tracked as long as it's not damaged. It sends a signal that can be received both at headquarters and by any other Turk's phone." He laid his palm over Cloud's injured side, trying so very hard to not make demands that would make his husband feel like they weren't equals. Oh, but the urge was still there to hide Cloud away and hunt down the psycho. "Can I come with you?"

"If I said no, you wouldn't listen. And they know you're the only way they can get me to cooperate." He took Reno's hand away from his aching side and pushed his phone into the palm. "Call Rude, tell him what we're up to. Then hide it somewhere they won't look when they take us."

Cloud unslung his sword with a grunt of effort and ended up using it to lean on for a moment. He stepped in close to Reno when the pain subsided. "Tonight we can plan our wedding," he affirmed and lightly pressed his lips to Reno's.

Heading out into the unknown, Cloud looked back towards the compound. He didn't like the commotion he could hear, however far away it sounded. He headed off in the other direction, choosing his path carefully while knowing sensitive ears would pick up his steps as loud as a bulldozer.

He didn't have to worry about sensitive ears. Stepping out in his path was the good doctor himself. Before he had time to register the shock of seeing that lab coat Cloud saw a remote raised and buttons pushed and then he was on his back. Bolts raced along his knee to his foot and his ribs flared with blinding pain.

Reno saw Cloud fall and he hit the ground running. After a hurried phone call he had managed to make the phone disappear from sight. Extending his weapon with the flick of a wrist, he snarled in wordless rage and charged the psychotic scientist. His headlong rush was halted, however, when the man merely smirked at him and did *something* to make Cloud writhe in pain on the ground.

"Are you really that eager for him to die, Turk?" Even the man's voice sounded oily and evil.

Reno frantically flipped any and all options through his mind.

"You need him alive."

"Smart boy," the doctor said, and then his smirk turned decidedly nasty. "Alive for a little while longer, at least, but how much he suffers will be dependant on you. If that isn't enough incentive, then we'll just have to see how much damage I need to inflict on you to make him cooperate. You've had some exposure to mako, yes? Perhaps you, too, could prove useful in the experimental stage."

Reno allowed his fear for Cloud to be seen on his face as he lowered his weapon. Let the madman think he maintained the upper hand. Let him feel confident in his control. The Turk was so looking forward to exacting some much deserved revenge. Reno lowered his eyes to hide the calculating glitter in them.

"Please, stop hurting him," he pleaded.

Panting through the pain, Cloud rolled onto his good side to look up at Reno. He saw the cold calculating glare beneath those bangs and knew his lover was with him. His vision was already changed, his eyes glowing a bright green thanks to the inflicted pain through his bones. He was ready to fight.

The good doctor ignored Cloud writhing on the ground and didn't see the smaller sword being taken away from the main weapon's body. Cloud was forced to do it through waves of pain.

"What word do you give me that you'll both work for me?" The scientist studied Reno. These were fine specimens and visions of more, better, similar workers danced in the back of his mind already. If he spliced them together, what would happen?

Reno deliberately kept his eyes off Cloud so as to not draw attention to him. He let his shoulders slump further in seeming defeat. Gods, what an ego the psycho doctor had! If he thought Reno was beaten enough, stupid enough, to give his word that he would allow his husband to be delivered into hell, well, he'd give him some words. He also hoped that their plan worked and backup arrived soon. If not...he'd be handing their torturer some hefty ammunition.

Reno looked at the doctor, but his words were meant for Cloud. He mentally willed all his love and strength into the blond.

"I give you my word as a lover and husband. I'll do anything to keep him safe, pay any price to spare him more pain. He's my life, and without him I have no worthwhile reason to live."

Reno slowly moved to kneel, the posture apparently subservient. He peered at the doctor's smug, satisfied face from the concealing shield of his ragged bangs, and his hand itched to grab the gun concealed in an ankle holster. Not yet. He knew Cloud was getting ready to make a move. In the hope of buying more time and further ensnaring the doctor, Reno lowered his voice to a prideless mumble.

"Please, I'll do anything if you stop hurting him."

The doctor moved a little closer to better hear him and sneered. "A Turk begging. Yes, I think I can use you well."

The anger was starting to become more dominant than the pain, and Cloud used the pain and Reno's words to fuel that anger. Gripping the smaller sword tightly, Cloud gritted his teeth and rose up onto his hands and knees.

His eyes flashed cat-like and green when he looked up to get his bearings. Then he lunged with the sword. Cloud put enough power into the jump that when the buttons were pressed in self defense, he was still able to make the hit count before he stumbled.

Reno's eyes widened in surprise and fear when Cloud jumped. For a few seconds he was riveted to the spot by those cat like, slit pupil eyes, but only for that tiny amount of time. It was still *his* Cloud, not some revenant from the past.

The Turk didn't even pause to check on the status of the doctor. He wasn't going anywhere after a strike like that. Reno rushed forward, unmindful of any potential danger to himself, to catch Cloud before he hit the ground. He cradled his lover against his chest and stroked shaking fingers through sweat damp hair.

"Talk to me, baby. Tell me you're okay."

Cloud grunted his pain through clenched teeth and leaned into Reno. His husband was so sturdy and so safe. Cloud held onto an arm and looked up into a concerned face. His eyes still glowed an odd cat-like green. He fought the pained spasms of his body with waning strength.

"He put... something in me." He looked down at the remote and tried to push away. "Turn off."

The remote was quickly snatched up, and Reno held Cloud close to his body while he examined the thing and tried to determine the proper way to turn it off. His first thought was to just destroy it...but that could possibly do more harm than good. Taking a shuddering breath, Reno pressed what buttons he thought were correct and hoped for the best.

Rude and several other Turks made it to the scene and silently secured the area. Rude himself approached his kneeling partner and grasped his shoulder. The look turned on him was one he had never seen on Reno's face. Wide eyes were rounded with fear and filled with a desperate, hopeful love. Rude shielded the two with his own body to screen the view from the other Turks.

"Did it work?" Reno asked, gently tilting Cloud's face up. He pressed his lips to his husband's sweaty, clammy forehead. "Cloud? C'mon, baby, you're worrying me here."

"Thought you promised you'd stop worrying out loud," Cloud took a deep breath. "I'm fine now." He sat up a little and leaned against Reno. Taking the remote he eyed it and wondered what button would get rid of the nanites. He pocketed the remote and reached up to wrap his arms around Reno's neck.

"Yeah, well, it's been a rough few weeks. I think I should be allowed a bit of time off for my imminent nervous breakdown sometime in the near future."

Reno stood and drew Cloud to his feet, keeping him clutched tightly. Rude cleared his throat and opened his coat to take out the hidden flask and offer it to the two bedraggled looking men. Emergency rations, you know?

"Technically, you're still on medical leave, Reno," Rude reminded him.

"Yeah," Reno took a long swig from the flask and offered it to his lover with a smile. "And I'll shortly be on my honeymoon if all goes well."

Grateful for Reno's body to keep him steady, Cloud kept his arms around his lover when they stood. They both stunk of sweat and fear and dirt. But they were alive.

Taking the flask, Cloud took a long drink and returned it. "We'll make it go well." He laid his head on Reno's shoulder. "Can they handle this now? That lab should be investigated and taken apart..." He trailed off, wondering if there were other controls for the nanites laying around down there.

A short nod from Rude was all the assurance Reno needed.

"Yeah, we can get outta here."

Reno led Cloud away from the scene. As soon as they were out of sight the Turk braced his lover against a tree and molded their bodies together. Both hands sifted through blond hair to cradle Cloud's face so that Reno could gratefully skim his lips over dirt smeared pale skin.

"But, I want something from you first. No, I *need* it."

All of Reno's fear, love and relieved joy needed to be expressed. He was so very glad that they had survived the encounter. The warmth of Cloud's body, the glow in his eyes, the continued beating of his heart...Reno needed the assurance that his love was still with him and whole. That scary moment when Cloud's eyes had taken on that alien shape and color had brutally reminded the Turk there would always be something else with the power to take his lover away from him.

"I love you, so much," Reno murmured against Cloud's lips, licking at the seam where they pressed together.

He let his eyes slide shut and trembled with the aftermath of battle as his tongue delved deep into his husband's sweet mouth.

Cloud felt dizzy from the intensity of Reno's desire and love. His own body reacted in kind. He needed Reno, and the need was verging on a desperate urgency. He still had some wounds to heal, but he could tell the nanites were inactive now. Old hurts already felt better, and his ribs just ached a little.

Returning the kiss with a fierce demand, Cloud unbuttoned Reno's shirt. He needed to feel flesh on his bare chest, now. He pushed cloth off Reno's shoulders and ran his hands down his back. Warm, strong muscles greeted his fingers as they trailed down to the pants. He pulled back and looked at Reno. "Do you want the potion? Can you hold me up?" He was breathless and breathing hard.

"I don't need it," Reno replied and knelt to trail his mouth over tense abdominal muscles while loosening Cloud's baggy pants.

Boots were wrenched off and pants tossed aside. Reno removed the potion from Cloud's pocket and poured the slightly viscous liquid into his palm. It made his skin tingle immediately and Reno smoothed the stuff over the discolored flesh on his lover's torso. Reno flicked his tongue over all the exposed skin he could easily reach as his still slippery hand stole between Cloud's legs to wet and tease his hole. Buzzing with adrenalin and lost in the taste and feel of his lover, Reno deliberately avoided the hard cock brushing his cheek.

He stood in a rush, dropping his own pants and pressing Cloud into the tree at his back.

"Hold on to me," Reno panted and cupped his lover's ass to lift him and spread his cheeks open.

Cloud gasped and lifted his legs to loosely wrap them around Reno. He held onto his firm shoulders as he was pushed up the tree slightly. The potion smoothed the way when he felt Reno press against his entrance and then push inside.

His breath was stolen from him as Reno entered him. His mouth was open in a silent 'oh'. He had needed to feel Reno inside him for years it seemed. Being stretched and filled by Reno's warm length was the only potion he needed. His fingers dug hard into Reno and he took a ragged breath as he settled in deep.

"Ooh, I missed this," Cloud moaned. The glint in his baby blues was of love and desire as he gazed at Reno.

Reno growled with satisfaction and thrust hard and deep. He pulled out slowly with each stroke, relishing the gripping heat around his cock, to plunge forward again. His hands squeezed and kneaded the firm flesh warming his palms as he nipped and licked at Cloud's neck and collarbones. Reno was torn between taking again the sweetness of his husband's mouth or leaving it alone to better hear the gasps and moans, the delicious sounds that shivered through his body.

Cloud's eyes were once again a pure lovely blue, glowing with desire and love. Reno trembled with relief and rolled his hips with each thrust.

"Touch yourself," he gasped.

"Aaah... Reno!" He moaned and writhed. Cloud's chin tilted up to give Reno more access to his neck. In ecstasy he tried pushing his head back and into the hard tree. His cries and gasps were momentarily echoed at the sky. Then two gasped words, a request from the beautiful mouth of his husband.

Keeping one arm around Reno for balance, Cloud withdrew the other. He smoothed his hand down his husband's chest and abdomen until he came in contact with his own cock, rubbing against Reno's tight muscles. He looked down at it, admiring the muscles that flexed next to it with every mind blowing thrust and withdraw.

Wrapping his fist around himself he gripped it hard at the base. Looking back up into Reno's eyes he gave himself a hard pull with each deep thrust from Reno, and a slower, gentler stroke with each slow withdraw. "Mmmn. Ahhn!" He kept in pace with Reno and pressed his head back against the tree, watching Reno with bright eyes.

Breathing heavily with mounting desire as he watched Cloud pleasure himself, Reno suddenly felt the overwhelming need to bury himself deeper. He gathered his strength and held Cloud against himself as he pushed them away from the tree. Still buried deep, Reno knelt and laid his husband back against the soft, cool moss that grew beneath the tree. He ran a caressing hand over the blonde's chest and draped his legs over his shoulders. Now he could press even deeper and still watch, mesmerized, the pleasing sights of his cock moving in and out and Cloud fisting his own erection.

"Don't stop," Reno murmured. "Show me how good it feels." He could feel the rising heat coiling in his belly. "Mmm, so good. Perfect, just perfect."

Cloud arched back, pushing his head and shoulders into the soft moss. "Ahhnnn!" Reno was pushing so deep. He squeezed his cock harder and writhed. His hand was slick with precum.

"Good," he gasped. "Ooh!" His body began to tremble around Reno's deep thrusts. Cloud gasped out and his toes curled as he teetered on the brink. He dragged his nails down Reno's shoulder. "Reno... nng... s-so..." His face contorted in a mixture of ecstacy and pain. "AAHNnn!"

He shuddered as he came; jerking his cock hard and slamming his head back against the moss. He gasped as he rode out his orgasm, milking his cock for every spurt of seed.

Reno thrust more frantically. It was a huge effort to keep his eyes open and focused on Cloud, but the vision of his lover in the throes of climax was so very worth it.

"That's it, baby. That's what I wanted to see. Damn, you're so beautiful like that," Reno panted and blinked sweat from his eyes.

His hands gripped Cloud's hips with bruising intensity and orgasm whip cracked through his body. Reno threw back his head and gasped, too overwhelmed to voice a sound although his heart was screaming his love and completion.

He gently lifted Cloud's legs from his shoulders and fell forward to brace his arms on either side of his husband's head. He took Cloud's lips in a sated, purring kiss. After a bit their filthy, sweaty and twice come-stained state became more noticeable. Reno groaned piteously and tucked his face against his husband's neck.

"Let's go home. I hear a hot shower, a cold beer and *our* bed calling my name."

"We can sleep in," Cloud sighed. He nuzzled Reno's ear and then pushed them up. Wrapping his arms around Reno he pressed his face into his lover's shoulder. "And tonight you can hold me tight. Real tight. And it won't hurt." He turned his face up and smiled softly at Reno.

Walking back to find Fenrir after they found their clothes, Cloud pressed close to Reno's side and rested his head on his shoulder. He was exhausted, but elated. He just wanted Reno to hold him.

Reno paused to look at the destruction of Healin Lodge. It was complete and absolute. Damn, Rude built some fine bombs. They had Fenrir, their weapons and each other. Anything else they had brought with them had been destroyed. Reno didn't care. What mattered most to him had survived, and he was so very grateful that Cloud was a warm, vibrant presence next to him. The blond was filthy, tattered and...blindingly beautiful.

Reno got on the back of Fenrir and slid backwards to make room for its possessive owner. One day he planned on seducing Cloud into letting him drive the massive bike, but for now he was content to just wrap his arms around his lover and snuggle close. Reno held Cloud tight and draped over his back to nuzzle his pierced ear.

"Let's go, babe. The Turks can wrap it up here." He laid his cheek against the back of Cloud's shoulder. "We have a wedding to plan."

Cloud put them on the road with a last thought of hope that the chimeras had died quickly. They deserved as much, if not more.

They must have looked like hell on wheels to anyone who caught a glimpse as they zipped past, but Cloud wasn't concerned. Reno felt wonderful pressed against his bare back and wrapped around his middle.

When they finally stopped hours later and were safe at home, Cloud caught Reno's hands and leaned his head back against Reno's. "Thank you," he whispered.

Feeling some more of the tension in his body start to relax now that they were safely home, Reno let them into the apartment and tossed his weapons on the table. He pulled a couple beers from the fridge and reclaimed Cloud's hand to lead him into the bathroom.

The shower water was blissfully hot and the large enclosure quickly filled with steam. Reno stripped them both of the tattered remains of their clothing and lathered a cloth with his favorite spicy shower gel. He lovingly ran the cloth over Cloud's skin and used the opportunity to examine him thoroughly. He was relieved to see the bruises and scrapes from the explosion visibly healing rapidly. Even more of a relief was the lessening of the deep, ugly bruising that had stained the flesh of Cloud's side for too long.

The shower was efficient rather than a long, luxurious basking in the heated water. Reno had been quiet during the whole thing, and it was only after wrapping his lover in his own robe that he felt ready to speak.

"I love you, Cloud. There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you." A little quiet concern and confusion entered his voice. "What are you thanking me for?"

Cloud admired the gentle way Reno bathed him. Considering his knees felt a little wobbly he was also thankful for Reno's attention. Being clean again made him relax. All signs of battle except for the healing bruises and scrapes were wiped off his body.

His lover still worried though. Cloud hugged Reno close and pressed his face into his lover's neck. He smelled like his lover. He loved that scent.

"Not for me," he murmured against clean flesh. "For that creature. I know it died quick, and I almost lost you because of that." He hugged Reno tighter.

"It would take a lot more than an explosion to make me leave you," Reno said as he placed a line of kisses up Cloud's neck to nibble on his jaw and ear. "I'm almost certain that it couldn't survive. None of them can ever hurt you again. Maybe those creatures will find some peace in the Lifestream as well.

Reno could feel the heaviness and even the soreness in his lover's body. He felt a small flash of guilt for being so rough with Cloud earlier, but he had *needed* his lover so much. Reno urged Cloud to lay down and get comfortable. Even though it was still early afternoon he knew they both needed some tension free rest for once.

Reno covered a yawn with one hand and snuggled deeper into the pillows.

"Did you have any particular date in mind for us to get married, love?"

Closing his eyes, Cloud snuggled close to Reno and lay still. "No," he said softly. All the dates in his mind were of deaths and hurts. He tried not to remember or mark them. "What about you? Any day will be special, of course."

He wondered if Reno remembered the date of their first encounter. He couldn't. And if he did, he would question the memory's validity. "And where will we have it? Seventh Heaven is too small for the crowd you want," he teasingly pinched Reno's side.

"I just want it to be as soon as possible," Reno said fervently. "I'll go tomorrow to see about having your ring designed. I'm looking forward to calling you my husband."

Reno jumped a little at the pinch and retaliated with a tug to blond hair as he gave a mock sniff of annoyance.

"Not a crowd, just the people who matter to us. We'll find a place, but I don't think Rufus is going to let me use any of his properties for a while after what I did to Healin."

He drew his hands through Cloud's hair to massage the nape of his neck.

"How about a honeymoon in Costa del Sol? The beach sounds really good." Reno stroked down Cloud's back to pet his bottom. "Of course, with you in nothing but swim trunks I'll be spending most of my time fending off your admirers and trying not to kill them."

"We'll find a secluded part of the beach, then." Cloud hummed softly. "I just want to relax and be with you on our honeymoon." He pushed himself up to lay on Reno's chest and hugged him tight.

"I don't want you worrying or fighting on our honeymoon. For once you're going to relax." Though he wondered how much of their honeymoon would be spent out of bed and he smiled. "And remember your promise."

"I remember," Reno purred suggestively. "And I'll keep that promise...after we make sure that you are going to fully heal. I won't take any chances with that, no matter how much you entice me."

Reno squirmed in the bed to wallow out a comfortable spot. He finally settled with Cloud still overtop him and nestled between his legs. Drifting a little in his exhaustion, Reno chuckled under his breath and rubbed Cloud's bare shoulders.

"I think I'll ask Rude to give me away. He'll probably be only too glad to give me into someone else's keeping."

Cloud settled down with a sigh after a little discomfort from being moved. "I think I'm healing now. But I'll have to get the nanites removed." He took a shuddering breath and nuzzled Reno's chest.

"Did he lose the owner's manual?" Cloud smiled, imagining Rude hold Reno at gun point at the wedding. Just in case.

Closing his eyes, Cloud relaxed and let himself drift. What color would he wear? Black, maybe. A black suit. It was too late for white, and he didn't wear anything else. well, once he wore a dress...

He dreamt of that dress. Of Reno hiking it up and taking him against a wall before their vows. He squirmed and whimpered in his sleep.
