Rash Decisions

Please note: There are spoilers for Advent Children in this one-shot. Thank you. Also, I don't own it. Square does.

Rufus was the type who thought things through before doing them. Everyone knew this, so no matter how odd his decision was, nobody questioned it. Rufus was Rufus, and Rufus was intelligent. Also, others feared for their lives if they ever did question him. A certain redhead Turk, however, was never afraid. Not because he was an arrogant prick (which he was, but that wasn't the reason), but because he lived for it. He lived for seeing Rufus' face start to clench in anger, for his eyes to squint, and his lips to thin. Reno was fairly certain an angry Rufus was one of the sexiest things in the world.

Reno had never before questioned any of Rufus' decisions out of worry or anger. He'd never had the option for that, because Rufus never made any decisions that were all too life-threatening. Sure, he nearly got blown up two years ago, but he came out of it unscathed and it's not like it was his decision to get blown to bits in the first place. He never chose to have Geostigma. He never chose any of that.

But saying Reno was never worried about Rufus was, alright, probably a lie. Reno worried about him all the time. When it was unconfirmed if he had actually been blown to bits, when he contracted Geostigma, and many other times. It was true to say Reno was never angry with him. Had never been, and promised himself he never would be.

Really, there was a very thin line in Reno's promises.

"What the fuck were you thinking, huh?" The redhead shouted, pacing back and forth in front of Rufus' wheelchair. "You could have been killed, you know that? You could've died, yo!"

"I'm aware of that, Turk." Rufus responded, while tapping his fingers on the wheelchair arm.

"Oh!" Reno stopped pacing. "Oh, so now it's Turk, is it? I get it, really, I do! You have a death wish!"

Rufus sighed in frustration. "Yes, I have a death wish, Reno. Better not leave me alone for one minute or else I might slit my throat."

"Don't even joke about that, yo, really." Reno mumbled, sitting down on a chair in the corner. "Jumping off of that building was insane, and you know it."

"I had no choice."

"Bullshit!"

"Would you rather I had stayed up there and let Kadaj get Jenova, all the while getting caught in the blast he shot at me?" Rufus was agitated.

"…Uh." Reno looked up and grit his teeth. He thought for a moment, and then suddenly, his eyes widened. "The wheelchair! You could've jumped off in that! Then, if you hit the ground, you'd have something to cushion your fall!"

Rufus stared at him, not sure what to say. After a moment, he announced, "Are you really that stupid?"

Reno growled and stood up, walking over to him, and kneeled down in front of Rufus, one hand on each of the blonde's knees. The Turk glared. "Just promise me you won't do anything that dumb again?"

Rufus, somewhat unnerved, replied, "I promise."

"I mean, fuck, Rufus! I worry about you sometimes, yo!" Reno placed his head on Rufus' legs. "You're too careless."

"I'm too careless?"

Reno smirked, and lifted his head up again. "Yeah, you are."

"You're the one who smokes two packs a day, who drinks two bottles of whiskey every night, who carries a gun all the while, and you're calling me careless?" Rufus stared.

"Yeah, I am."

Rufus chuckled, and pulled the redhead up to his level, capturing Reno's lips within his own. Soon, they broke apart, gasping. Reno smiled and hugged Rufus tightly.

"Reno?"

"Yo."

"Never question me again, or you'll find yourself without a job."

Reno laughed.

Note - I have no clue where this came from. Seriously. I just wanted to try a different Reno coupling and I've always found Reno/Rufus very addicting, so... :3 Yesh.
