Seasickness and Sephiroth.
Rufus made himself comfortable…well, as comfortable as he could possibly be with Heidegger in the same room as him. As the boat began to move, he felt his usual slight seasickness appear, and frowned.
I hope Cloud came…he's the key to everything. He thought, standing up and pacing, to take his mind off the nauseous feeling in the pit of his stomach. He caught a glimpse of a rather large black man in a sailor suit outside the window, cursing and muttering to himself, accentuating these things with an occasional shake of his fist.
I know him…he's Cloud's …friend? Rufus mused, and continued to pace. Another person appeared beside the black man, and Rufus smirked to himself.
Hello, Cloud…such a handsome young man…if only I could win you over… he thought with an internal sigh. Then, Heidegger finally penetrated his thoughts, along with a static-y announcement over the intercom.
"Sir, it appears there is an unidentified passenger on board!" Heidegger barked. Rufus snorted.
"I heard the announcement, you fool. You don't need to tell me the obvious." He snapped, knowing in the pit of his stomach that the stowaway wasn't Cloud, or his friends.
Sephiroth…I know it's you. I owe you a lot, you know…after all, without you, I'd still be living underneath my father…Rufus thought, scowling at the sick pun. He ran a hand through his hair, and left the bridge of the ship, heading somewhere safe…where his Turks were. Heidegger followed, to his disgust.
As he left, he saw Cloud and the large man leave also, and knew that they would soon be battling with 'The Great General Sephiroth'. Rufus felt…worry? For the blonde he had become almost infatuated with, and prayed for his safety.
Who knows…maybe after all this has blown over, I could…no, I'm being ridiculous. Nobody wants me for who I am…I've been cursed with sex appeal. He thought bitterly, slamming open the door where he knew his Turks would be. His jaw dropped upon seeing an empty room.
"Where the hell are they?!"
~ * ~
Reno yawned, and buried his face further into Tseng's chest.
"Where we goin' Tsengy?" he mumbled drunkenly. He heard and felt Tseng laugh.
"Somewhere where you can sleep, you drunkard." He teased. Reno giggled, and tightened his arms around Tseng's neck.
"It's not really that funny, Reno. We missed the boat, you know. Rufus will be pissed…" Tseng said softly. Reno grinned up at him.
"I am pissed! Hee hee!" he giggled. Tseng sighed. He had to get Reno to a bed…but he knew Reno's drunken mind very well…Reno sees bed, and Tseng, and puts the two together, along with himself. Reno was even more…frisky while drunk, and although Tseng didn't mind that much, now wasn't really the time for hot, passionate sex.
He took Reno into the closest Inn, and threw him on the bed. Reno sat up abruptly and grabbed Tseng, pulling him down.
"Uh-uh, Reno. Not now." He said. Reno's face screwed up in misery, but was quickly replaced with a determined look.
"How to get what you want, Step one: Seduce!" he slurred.
He licked up Tseng's ear slowly, sucking on the earlobe, and smiling inwardly when he heard Tseng's low growl.
It's working! Yay me! He thought, his mind still fogged with alcohol. He moved his tongue to Tseng's neck, kissing and licking.
Tseng couldn't take the slow torture any longer. He pressed his lips to Reno's roughly, conveying in one kiss just how much he loved Reno, wanted Reno.
The redhead moaned softly, undoing Tseng's shirt, this time without gnawing off the buttons. They continued to kiss deeply, and Reno grinned up at Tseng once they were both unclothed.
"Step two…I think you know what comes next…" Reno giggled, and the two kissed again.
~ * ~
Rufus looked around the empty room where his Turks were supposed to be, an angry scowl upon his face.
"I don't believe this! They aren't here!" he snapped. Heidegger looked nervous.
"M-maybe they're fighting the s-stowaways, sir!" he suggested. Rufus snorted.
"The stowaway is Sephiroth, you idiot! And as much as I trust the Turks, there's no way in hell that they would willingly fight him. They should be hiding from him up here! It's quite obvious to me that they have missed the boat…" he said. Heidegger sweated under Rufus's angry glare.
"I-I'll protect you then, sir! Gya haa haa!" he said. Rufus winced.
"Will you STOP that laugh?! I can't for the life of me understand how Father put up with it! As for you protecting me, I'd be better off doing it myself! You don't even have the balls to stand up to me, let alone Sephiroth!" he snapped. Heidegger retreated to the opposite corner of the room, and Rufus made himself comfortable, simply waiting for the boat to dock at Costa del Sol. The fact that there was a great battle taking place just beneath him didn't register.
Those Turks…they'll pay for this…he thought, curbing his urge to laugh evilly.
He relaxed a little, and slowly drifted off to sleep…where he was the ruler of his dreams.
~ * ~
Elena and Rude frowned. They knew they were in trouble. But finding Tseng and Reno was hard while you were slightly off your face, even if the two in question were making a ruckus in the next room.
They had decided to sober up in the inn, and then search out the other two Turks in the morning.
They wouldn't have to look far.
"You know, I wish they would be a little quieter…" Elena mumbled from her bed, banging on the wall. Rude laughed.
"Reno? Quiet?" he replied, and Elena laughed.
"Guess not…" she whispered.
Morning came, and the bald and blonde Turks knocked loudly on the door where Reno and Tseng were. The door opened and revealed Reno, towel around his waist, toothbrush in his hand. He grinned at them both.
"Hey there! Man, you guys look beat! Did you not get enough sleep?" he asked. Elena frowned at him.
"No…these two guys were having really loud sex in the room next to ours…" she said with a smirk. Reno blushed.
"Was that you banging on the wall?" he asked. Elena and Rude nodded.
"Oh…sorry!" Reno apologised. "Uh, we'll be ready soon…meet you at the dock." He said, and closed the door. Elena and Rude shared a look.
"You made him blush. Congratulations." Rude said, and Elena smiled, leading the bald Turk out of the Inn.

Rufus was awakened about half an hour later by the motions of the boat stopping. He stretched and yawned, standing up slowly. He scowled when he saw Heidegger still in the room, but fast asleep and snoring like a lawnmower. He walked over and booted him hard in the ribs, before walking out the door. The fat man snorted and awakened, wondering who the hell kicked him. He stood up with a shrug, and, noticing that they had stopped moving, decided to disembark.
Rufus heard the loud, heavy footsteps as Heidegger caught up to him.
"Mr. President, sir!" he called, panting heavily. Rufus shuddered, he could smell the disgusting pig from where he was.
"What?!" he snapped, and Heidegger stopped in his tracks.
"Uh…uh, Gya…" he stammered, and said nothing more. Rufus sighed and stormed off down to the exit ramp of the boat. He had no idea where Cloud and Co. were, so he had to act as if he was oblivious to their presence.
"What a long boat ride that was!!" one of the smartly-dressed sailors commented. Rufus smiled at them kindly.
"Hmmm…Good work everyone…" he said, noticing the proud looks the soldiers now wore. Heidegger glanced at one sailor, who was fastening some ropes. He puffed his chest out, and pointed.
"Gya, heh, heh…, ha!! Hurry up with that!" he commanded, trying to pick a laugh and stick with it. Rufus snorted.
"Yes, sir!" the sailor said. Rufus turned to Heidegger, with a stern look, and a nod.
"I heard Sephiroth was on board." He said. Heidegger looked confused, but then the realization hit him.
"…Yes." He replied. Rufus nodded encouragingly.
"And it seems Cloud and the others were on board, too." He said slowly.
"…Yes." Heidegger repeated.
"They all slipped through…You messed up big this time, Heidegger." He said with a sadistic smile. Heidegger hung his head.
"I'm ashamed of myself." He said. Rufus became agitated.
"Is that all you can do…? Give one word answers and apologize for everything?" he snapped. Heidegger looked ready to spout off some more apologies, when a sailor interrupted him.
"Ready for departure, sir!!" the youngster said. Rufus nodded at him, before glaring at Heidegger.
"…Do something. I'll be expecting results." He said sharply, before turning to enter his helicopter, flying off and leaving the disgusting man behind. Rufus sighed happily.
~ * ~
Reno and Tseng turned up at the dock. Elena and Rude were already there, waiting.
"I got a question for ya…how do we get to Costa Del Sol?" Reno asked as they approached. Elena frowned, and glanced at Tseng questioningly.
"Take a helicopter?" she asked. Tseng frowned.
"We could, if we can find one…maybe we should contact Rufus…we're gonna get our asses kicked regardless, so we may as well get it over and done with now." He said. Reno sighed.
"I'll do it, it was my fault…gimme your communicator, Tsengy…" he mumbled, reaching into Tseng's pants pocket. The Asian Turk gasped and flushed.
"Reno! That is not my communicator…" he hissed. Reno grinned lopsidedly at him.
"It's not?" he teased, squeezing the 'communicator' one last time, before removing his hand. Tseng growled low in his throat, and silently plotted his revenge. Reno reached into Tseng's jacket pocket where he knew the real communicator was, and fished it out. Rude and Elena shared an exasperated glance.
"You two just can't stop, can you?" Elena asked with a sigh. Tseng looked shocked.
"It was him!" he exclaimed, pointing to Reno, who smiled and waved.
"Sure was! And I'd do it again, if given the chance!" the redhead crowed, sending Elena and Rude into fits of laughter. Tseng gave a long-suffering sigh.
"Can we get on with it, please? We really need to get to Costa del Sol…" he said. The other three Turks pulled faces at him, but Reno clicked on the communicator.
"Rufus? You there?"
~ * ~
Rufus looked up from the television with a start. He was staying in his father's hidden…mansion, and after getting a good night's sleep, was now trying to just relax. He scowled.
"Damn communicator…" he muttered, stalking into his bedroom, and picking it up.
"Rufus? You there?" Reno's voice rang clearly. Rufus clicked it on.
"Reno. You had better give me a good explanation for this…" he snapped. He heard a nervous giggle, before Reno answered.
"Uh…we missed the boat?" came the reply. Rufus couldn't stop the laugh that erupted.
"No kidding, but why did you miss it?" he asked.
"Umm…we were drunk…sorry, sir…" he said. Rufus snorted.
"You do realise that while you four were off getting drunk, my life was in danger? Sephiroth was on board, and I only had that disgusting pig, Heidegger with me! Luckily for you, Sephiroth didn't come anywhere near me…he was fighting with Cloud…" he said. He heard a gasp.
"Shit…oh, we really screwed up this time…Rufus, we're so incredibly sorry…it won't happen again, I promise…" Reno said. Rufus sighed.
"You better keep that promise, you drunkard…" he said.
"I will. Um, we were actually wanting to know how we were supposed to get to you…wherever you are…" Reno said. Rufus sighed again.
"You're still in Junon?"
"I'll send my private helicopter."
"Oh, and Reno?"
"Stay out of the beer fridge." Rufus commanded, and they both laughed.
~ * ~
Reno closed the communicator, handing it back to his lover with a huge grin.
"We get the private chopper!" he exclaimed, glomping onto Tseng with a sigh. "If only it was just us two…oh, the fun we'd have!"
Tseng laughed.
"You mean, 'oh the fun the cleaners would have'!" he exclaimed. Everyone looked at him, shocked. He shrugged.
"What? Aren't I allowed to be dirty occasionally?" he asked, pouting. Reno whooped and leapt into his arms.
"Baby, you can be dirty whenever you want!" he exclaimed, punctuating his exclamation with a nip to Tseng's earlobe. Rude and Elena merely sighed and shook their heads.
The four of them sat down and waited for Rufus's chopper to make an appearance.
"There it is! Heh-heh…cool!" Reno yelled suddenly, pointing upwards. The other three Turks jumped to their feet, looking for the chopper.
"Where the hell is it?!" Elena snapped. She glared at Reno. "I can't hear anything, or see anything!"
Reno burst into giggles, and pointed at them all.
"You guys are SO gullible!" he cried. Tseng, Rude and Elena all looked at each other and nodded grimly. They picked Reno up, and walked to the edge of the dock, tossing him in. He landed with a splash, and began to splutter once he resurfaced.
"I…I can't believe you guys did that to me! Lovable, huggable me!" he squealed. They simply laughed at him. He swam to a nearby ladder and dragged his drenched body out. Standing once more on quickly-dampening ground, dripping and agitated, he found three fingers in his face, and more laughter directed at him.
"What now?!" he asked, his voice reaching a whine. Tseng picked a crab from Reno's hair and dangled it in front of his face. Reno snorted and batted it away.
"Yeah, good one guys…" he said sarcastically. "Now when the helicopter does come, I'll get it soaked!"
Tseng grinned.
"You could always ride on the skids…you'd dry really quickly then!" he joked. Reno sneered.
"Oh, ha, ha…and also ha. Very funny. But I can tell you one thing…you're not getting any tonight!" he said dramatically. Elena and Rude gasped.
"…Whoa, drastic measures…" Elena muttered. Rude nodded solemnly. Reno played the drama queen to the fullest, stamping his foot, crossing his arms and sticking his nose in the air.
"So there, Tsengy!" he said. The Asian Turk was silent, but his eyes were nearing 'sad Tsengy puppy-wuppy' mode, and his bottom lip was beginning to tremble. Reno caught this from the corner of his eye and whimpered softly.
"I wuv you…" Tseng said sulkily. Reno let out an anguished wail, and flung himself into Tseng's arms.
"I wuv you too! Oh, Tsengy!" he cried, burying his face in the crook of Tseng's neck, hiding the triumphant grin he was wearing. Pulling back, he let the grin show.
Tseng was now wet from Reno's embrace.
"Ha! Reno gets the last laugh!" he exclaimed. Tseng hung his head.
"I feel so used…" he commented. Rude and Elena applauded.
"That was beautiful!" Elena cried. The sound of rotor blades approaching made them all look up.
"Here it is!" Reno said gleefully. They backed away and let the chopper land, before they hopped in, marveling at the elegance.
"Never thought a helicopter could be so stylish…" Elena gasped. The males muttered some form of agreement. The rest of the flight was spent in silence…well, except for Reno's constant "are we there yet"'s
Finally, they arrived at a huge house, nestled in the mountains, and completely hidden from view.
"Wow…where the hell is this?" Reno muttered as he and Tseng exited, hand in hand.
"This, is my old man's hideout, where he used to come to escape from his duties occasionally…" a voice called out. Everyone looked up to see Rufus on the balcony, in a white robe and slippers, with a glass of red wine. He smiled down at them all.
"Well, don't just stand there, come in! Make yourselves comfortable!" He said, and then shivered. "You know, I do wish he'd picked somewhere a little less cold to put this thing…"
Reno glanced up at the snow-capped mountains and promptly shivered. He grabbed Tseng's arm, and dragged him away to the front door.
"Inside, Tsengy! Now!" he cried. Rude and Elena looked at each other and shrugged, before following suit.
The inside of the house was definitely luxurious, and there was a large open fire in the living room. Reno paused in his mad rush to Rufus to glance at the fire.
"Ooh…an open fire, how romantic!" he exclaimed, and planted a huge kiss on Tseng's mouth. Tseng moaned a little, before he found himself being dragged once more. They skidded into Rufus as he came back into the house, and Reno hugged him tightly.
"Hii~iiii!" he trilled. Rufus looked shocked, but then he smiled, and hugged Reno back. Tseng's jaw was hanging down by his feet.
"R-Reno?!" he asked, puzzled as hell, and being quite obvious about it. Reno looked Rufus in the eyes.
"I'm sorry, Rufus. Very sorry. And I'm glad that you're safe…I'd hate it if anything happened to you…" he said sincerely. Rufus nodded.
"Thankyou, Reno." He replied, and the two broke away from each other, but there was a slight blush on Rufus's cheeks. Reno turned to Tseng and grinned.
"Let's go find our room! …we're staying with you, right Rufie-baby?" he asked. Rufus looked a little flustered at the nickname, but he nodded.
"Yes, until you're needed to do a mission, you're staying here with me." He said. Reno looked coy.
"You don't mind if Tsengy and me share a room?" he asked. Rufus laughed.
"So long as it's not next to mine! You two aren't exactly the quietest lovemakers on the Planet…" he said with a grin. Tseng had the grace to blush, but Reno just laughed.
"Yeah, sorry about that!" he said, and began to drag Tseng off on a room-hunt. There were many rooms, and Tseng insisted that they get one way over on the east side of the house, far away from everyone.
"Yeah, this one's perfect…" he breathed, and the two Turks flopped onto the huge bed with a contented sigh. Tseng smiled.
"So…this should be fun, huh?" he asked. He got a soft snore in response, and looked over to see Reno fast asleep. He smiled and kissed him softly on the cheek, then curled up against him, letting his heavy eyelids drop and drifting to sleep.
