Peace Offering

"You got coconut?"

Reno gave him a look. "Who eats that coconut crap?"

Rude stood in the doorway of his office, holding open a box full of doughnuts. "Scarlet said she wanted some."

The redhead snorted. "Figures."

Reno turned to look at the door across from Rude's.

"She mad at you?"

Reno looked at the quiet man. "Yeah, and what else is new?"

Rude observed the slight hint of a frown on the other Turk's mouth.

"Anyway, who gives a fu-"

"Apparently you."

A moment of silence.

"…Yeah? Says who?"

"She likes the sprinkles."

" . . . "

The sun-glassed Turk continued. "The ones with-"

Reno snapped. "Chocolate, right?"

Rude nodded.

He smirked. "You're a frickin' genius, Rude."

The redhead grabbed a napkin and carefully took out the said doughnut.

He then proceeded to walk to the blonde's door.

Reno grabbed the doorknob.

It wouldn't budge.

"Shit."

Well, that figured.

The bald man quirked an eyebrow.

The red-haired Turk spoke two words.

"Do it."

Wordlessly, Rude approached the door, and Reno stepped aside.

There was a swift kick and a rewarding 'wham'.

Elena nearly jumped, her eyes widening in alarm. "What the heck?!"

The door - her barrier - had just been kicked open.

Fin.

Author's Note: First Turks-centric piece, so characterization might be a little off. Some light Reno and Elena friendship or implied romance. Take it as you will, just thought they'd be cute in this. This was originally part of a longer fic, but since I decided to try writing drabbles, I cut it down and reworked it to fit a double-drabble.

Author's Note II: I couldn't resist. I know it was supposed to be a drabble one-shot kind of deal, but I included a companion piece to this as the next chapter. If you would like to see what happened go ahead and read. ;D
