A/N: Yay, I've started chapter two! I hope it's not too soon after I put up chapter one though. But I got two reviews, which made me feel really happy, so I wanted to get working on chapter two. I don't know exactly how long this fic will last, but I plan on making it somewhat long. Okay, anyways, I'm also going to respond to my reviewers, to let them know that I appreciate their kindness.
Kadaj-sama: Thanks! Their one of my favorite shounen-ai pairings too, and I love writing about them.
Green Feathers: Awww, really? I'm glad you thought so. And you're right, there isn't enough RenoRufus fics out there. That's part of what inspired me to start writing this. And thanks, I'll try.
Forsaken-Friday: Thankyou! Yes, he's VERY crafty. But that's why everyone loves him, right? Especially Rufus.-
Okay then, so without further ado…
Chapter Two: A Fun Suggestion
I woke up slowly, sunlight hitting my face. I blinked a few times to try and get my eyes used to the light. As soon as they were adjusted, I got out of bed, walking over to the window. The way the sun was shining, you couldn't have told that it had been raining yesterday.
I smiled. I wasn't remembering the rain itself, but what had happened in the rain. I closed my eyes, remembering Reno's arms around me, his lips pressed against mine…
"Mr. Vice President!"
I opened my eyes in surprise. What could anyone want at this time? I walked over to the door and opened it to a girl with short blonde hair. She was wearing a Turk's uniform, which surprised me even more. Aside from Reno, I didn't know any of the Turks.
"What is it?" I asked warily.
She fidgeted slightly, and I became painfully aware that I was barely dressed, wearing only a loose pair of white pants. But I put that aside and repeated my question. "What is it?"
"Oh, right," She said nervously. "I wanted to let you know that one of the other turks, Reno, was late to his duty to guard the main door yesterday."
I rolled my eyes in annoyance, though I felt somewhat guilty since it was my fault that Reno wasn't there. "Is that all?" I asked.
"Y-Yes sir," She said.
"Alright then, you can leave now," I said, making it perfectly clear that I didn't want her here.
"Yes sir," She said quickly, bowing slightly before walking off.
I shut my door quietly, running a hand through my hair. I chanced a look at the clock, and found that it was only 11:30. I still had an hour and a half to kill before I would get to see Reno, and I wasn't sure what to do with the time. I sighed and walked over to my dresser, getting dressed just in case I should have another visitor.
When I was done, I just let myself fall onto my bed, thinking of a way to pass the time. I looked around my room and saw a bookshelf lined with a ton of old books that looked as though they hadn't been read in ages. Bored, I walked over to the shelf and grabbed a rather thick volume entitled 'The Ancients and their Secrets'. I flopped back onto my bed and began to read it.
I became immersed in the book, which was a collection of extensive research done about the Ancients. When I finally glanced up at the time, I saw it was 12:55. My eyes widened and I swore under my breath. I tossed the book aside and ran out my room and towards the balcony. I was relieved when I saw that Reno hadn't gotten there yet, and I took the time to catch my breath. I tilted my head back and shut my eyes, letting the sun warm my face. It felt very pleasant actually, like the warm feeling I had had yesterday.
Before I could think any more about it though, I felt two arms slip around my waist. I gasped slightly and turned my head to see Reno's grinning face.
"You alright?" He asked playfully.
I glared at him, although I wasn't really angry. "You scared the living daylights out of me," I said huffily.
He laughed, bringing his face next to my ear. "Sorry," He whispered, his lips brushing against my earlobe slightly. I felt my face heat up, and I was unable to keep my angry countenance.
"It's fine," I said, relaxing against his chest. "Anyways, why did you want me to meet you here?"
He turned me around to face him, a mischievous smile lighting his face. "I wanted you here so that I could take you down to the beach," he said. "You could call it a date."
"Reno…" I said, surprised beyond words. I almost felt like crying. No one had ever offered to take me somewhere, and I felt so happy at his suggestion.
He seemed to sense my surprise and his grin became even brighter. "Sound good to you?" He asked.
I nodded, a smile breaking out on my face. "Of course."
"Great. Let's go then."
"How are we going to get there?" I asked curiously, as he began to lead me to the front of the building.
"Ever been on a motorcycle?" He asked.
I shook my head. "No."
"Than this will be a lot of fun," he said, his eyes sparkling.
I looked at him suspiciously, but said nothing.
We had reached the motorcycle by that time, and he climbed on to it, motioning for me to get on behind him. When I did, he turned around and said, "There are two things you need to do. One, hang on to me." As soon as I had securely put my arms around his middle, he began to rev the engine.
"What's the other one?" I asked, raising my voice so that he could hear me over the noise.
"Don't let go." Than he started the machine and kicked off into the forest at an incredible speed. It took all my strength not to let go, and I screamed "Damnit Reno!"
He laughed, and I could tell he was smirking. "Having fun?"
If I wasn't so scared of letting go, I would've hit him. "Bastard!" I yelled.
He laughed again, this time not saying anything, only speeding up.
So, how do you like my second chapter? It was short, I know, but I want to dedicate all of the next chapter to their date at the beach. That said, I will now bid you all goodbye til the next chapter. Bye!
