Traitor

Reno followed Rufus around all day, back and forth through the halls of ShinRa. So much for keeping my weight of my foot. He thought as he limped after Rufus when they returned to the vice-president's office. Watching Rufus sit behind his desk Reno closed the door after him and leant against the doorframe. Soon his mind wandered back to the night before, to Tseng and to Sephiroth. How could he? Sephiroth of all people, after all this time...

"Turk!!" The angry voice broke through his thoughts. Reno looked up to see Rufus standing in front of him. It was obvious the pretty-boy had been trying to get his attention for sometime.

"Sorry 'sir. What is it?"

"We're going for a walk."

"A walk 'sir?" Reno blinked, Rufus never left the building. What's going on?

"Yes Turk." He opened the door, strided past Reno and down the hall.  Gathering his wits quickly, Reno limped after the blonde towards the elevator, getting there as the doors opened.

Tseng awoke to someone tapping on his shoulder. Opening his eyes he looked up at Rude. "What time is it?" He asked, sitting up and rubbing his eyes.

"7pm 'sir." Rude said, stepping back from the couch.

Tseng stood up and walked too his desk to grab a few folders of possible future SOLDIERS then headed out of his office, followed by Rude. Locking the office door he turned and walked down the hall towards the elevators and rode them down to his apartment. Upon entering the apartment, Tseng and Rude, after seeing that Reno had not returned, headed into the kitchen where Tseng set about making himself a cup of tea and Rude grabbed a beer from the fridge.

Sitting down at the counter with his beer, Rude removed his sunglasses and placed them down on the countertop. He could see something was bothering his boss as he watched him work his way around the kitchen. "What's wrong?" He asked as Tseng sat down.

"Huh?" Tseng looked up, "oh, it's nothing... well, it's not nothing..." He sighed and looked down to his cup. "I've cheated on Reno."

Rude put down his beer and quietly waited for Tseng to continue.

Taking a mouthful of he thought quietly for awhile and sighed again. "I... Sephiroth came around last night. Reno had to leave. I don't want to talk about it." The raven-haired man said.

Rude looked down at his beer thoughtfully, of course he knew his boss and his partner were lovers and it didn't bother him. But the fact that Tseng would cheat on the red-head, Rude was surprised to say the least. They finished their drinks in silence, except to the odd loud clap of nearby thunder.

Standing under some shelter in Sector 6, Reno looked solemnly out at the heavy rain, wondering what the pretty-boy was going to go now. "We can't go anywhere in this." Rufus muttered.

"No 'sir."

"I guess we should find some shelter until this storm passes."

Reno rolled his eyes at the obvious statement. "Yes 'sir."

"Any ideas Turk?" Rufus asked turning around to face Reno.

"Well..." He said as he looked around, "there is a bar nearby that I know, the 'Sixth Sense', they have a few rooms."

Rufus blinked. "You want me to go into a bar, full of commoners?!"

"It is your only choice 'sir." Reno smirked a little. "Unless you'd prefer to walk home in the rain."

Rufus groaned. "Lead the way then." And he followed the red-head down the street.

"Hey Reno!" A voice called out as they entered the bar and a girl came over and kissed his cheek. "Who's your friend?"

Reno glanced at Rufus then looked back to the girl. "He's not your type Stacey. You got any rooms left?"

"I'll go check, have a seat at the bar and I'll be right back." With that she disappeared into the crowd.

Reno turned to see Rufus watching him with a raised eyebrow. "This way 'sir." He said, gesturing towards the bar.

Stacey soon returned and handed Reno a key. "It's the only one we have left, but the boss said you could have it."

"Thanks babe." Reno said lighting a cigarette. "Bring a bottle of the usual would ya." He glanced at Rufus who was watching something elsewhere. "And two glasses." He added.

"So..." Stacey said as she grabbed a bottle from behind her and placed it in front of Reno with the glasses. "Where is that raven-haired boy of yours tonight?"

This got Rufus' attention and Reno sighed. "I dunno Stace, he's probably still at work."

"Oh that's sad. Well, don't have too much fun tonight." She giggled and winked at Reno before wandering off to serve another customer.

"Raven-haired boy?"

Reno poured two glasses of tequila and slid one to Rufus. "Yes 'sir."

"Is she talking about..."

Reno cut in. "I don't know 'sir. I don't keep track of everyone I've slept with." He finished his glass in one mouthful and poured himself another while Rufus just stared at him blankly.


*    *    *    *    *

Tseng sighed as he listened to the storm outside. He was no closer to finding the spy and now he was worrying about Reno, it was unlike the red-head to not check in by now. maybe he's at the pub. Pulling out his cellphone he rang the 'Sixth Sense' and a girl answered. "Hey Stacey, it's Tseng."

"Oh, hi Tsengy" You wanna talk to Reno?"

"He's there?" Tseng blinked.

"Yeah he's here, here with some blonde cutie."

"Ok, that's fine Stace. Listen, don't tell him I called. I just wanted to know he was safe and out of the storm."

"Yeah sure, he's staying here tonight. I'll look after him." She giggled.

Tseng smirked. "I'm sure you would. Bye Stacey luv."

"C'ya Tsengy." And she hung up.

Some blonde cutie...? I wonder if she means Rufus...

Two hours later Reno and Rufus were on their fourth bottle of tequila. Rufus swayed a bit and tried to steady himself with the bar and although Reno had drunken three times more than Rufus, he appeared to still be steady on his feet, only slightly drunk. Reno watched Rufus with an amused smirk, it was very obvious the pretty-boy never drunk this much. "Rufus... I've run out of smokes."

Rufus blinked and pulled out his wallet. "Oh, is this enough?" He asked, slurring his words, and pulled out 200 gil.

"Thanks." Reno grinned and bought another pack of cigarettes, pocketing the change.

"Turk..."

Reno looked back to him. "Yes 'sir?"

"Turk..." He repeated, licking his lips and looking up from his empty glass. "Kiss me."

Reno shook his head. "No Rufus, I won't do that."

"That was an order, Turk!" Rufus growled.

Just as Reno was about to reply, Rufus fell backwards off his barstool and lay on the floor giggling like a little girl, which caused Reno in turn to burst out laughing. Stacey came over giggling and helped Rufus to his feet. "I think you two should call it a night." Reno nodded and followed her as she helped Rufus to the room he and the red-head where sharing. Placing Rufus down on the bed she shook her head laughing. "See you around boys."

"Bye Stace, thanks." Reno said and closed the door behind her, locking it.

"Reno..."

The use of his name made him turn around and face Rufus with a raised eyebrow. "What?"

Rufus stood up and made his way, slowly, over to Reno. "Kiss me, now."

Reno shook his head again. "No Rufus, I can't."

"Why not?" Rufus purred as he ran his hand down Reno's thigh.

"Because..." Why can't I? He asked himself. After all, Tseng did sleep with Sephiroth. "Because, you're drunk."

Rufus looked him in the eyes and smirked. "Not as drunk as you think." He leant forward and pinned Reno against the door. "I want you Turk."

"Please 'sir I can't." He said ducking away from the blonde and sitting on the edge of the bed. The next thing he knew, Rufus was ontop of him and about to kiss him.


*    *    *    *    *

Tseng awoke with a start and stared blankly around the dark room. Climbing out of bed he saw it was 4am and decided to get an early start. Heading to the bathroom he stepped into the shower and just let the water run over his head and cascade down his shoulders, back and chest for awhile before having a wash. When he finished he dried off and dressed into his usual Turk-style suit, then made his way upstairs to his office. A voice caught his attention around the next corner and he stopped and listened.

"Yeah, I heard they were going after those Sector 4 rebels again soon."

"Really? That's so cool, those Turks are so brave."

"You think so?" The guy asked.

The girl giggled. "Not as brave or strong and handsome as you Sephy."

Tseng blinked listening still. Sephiroth is the spy...? No, it's that girl. She's using him for information. He stepped around the corner and walked past them, noticing that Sephiroth was talking to a girl with raven hair and a short red dress.

Sephiroth was about to reply to the girl when Tseng walked past. What's he doing up at this hour? He tensed slightly and followed Tseng down the hall with his eyes before eventually turning back to the girl.


*    *    *    *    *

Reno groaned as he rolled over, opening his eyes he faced the sleeping blonde beside him. Oh... my.... god!! What have I done?! He sat up quickly and climbed out of the bed, noticing he was totally naked and after getting dressed went downstairs for some breakfast.

Rufus awoke sometime later and rubbed his eyes as he sat up. What happened last night? Then it all came flooding back to him, "oh no..." he groaned and buried himself under the covers again. Eventually Rufus climbed out of bed, got dressed and order the red-head to escort him back to the ShinRa building now that the storm had passed. Reno kept to himself during the walk, not wanting the vice-president to think that it could be anything more than a one-night thing. Strolling back into his office, Rufus sat behind his desk and sighed. "You can have the day off."

Reno blinked. "'Sir?"

"I said, you are relieved of your duty for the day Turk!" The blonde growled.

Reno nodded slightly. "Yes 'sir." Bowing he stepped out of the office and head down the hallway. I have to find Tseng and tell him I'm sorry... for everything. Stepping up to the Turk leader's office he reached for the door handle when he froze, hearing voices inside.

"Oh come on Tseng! What makes you think I'd do such a thing?!"

"I heard you talking to that girl!"

Reno blinked… Girl...?

"So I was chatting her up, what's your problem?! Oh I see, jealous are we? Can't handle the face I was hitting on someone else for a change! Well you're the one who threw me out Tseng!!"

"Oh give it a rest Seph! You have been telling that girl secret information about the Turks! She is the spy, and you're her source of information. She's using you!"

Reno stepped back from the door, he'd heard enough. Now what...? Looking around he decided it was best to return to the apartment. He would talk with Tseng later.


*    *    *    *    *

Who is this girl who's getting information out of Sephiroth?

Will Reno tell Tseng about his night with Rufus?

Will I stop asking these questions?

Who knows...

Stay tuned!

End of part two.
