A series of drabbles concerning the Turks, Reno and Rude in particular. As they are drabbles I try to keep them as short and simple as I can, hopefully in less than a thousand words. The first one is a one-shot andhas an obvious RxR pairing, so if you are not into this kinda stuff ... skip to the next chapter or press the friendly fool-proof back button.

Turks rule.

Cheap Trick

The curtains are drawn, but the sunlight tackled his irises through his eyelids.

It's morning.

Rude half-opened his eyes and closed them again.

"Nnn …"

A noise.

"Geh …"

Rude furrowed his brows and sat up. Who's making that noise …?

"Nnngghh …"

…

Reno? He walked slowly to the door, turning its knob. But it's almost impossible for him to wake up this early -

"Stupid fucking tooth …"

Almost…

Rude let a breath of relieve escape his mouth. At least it wasn't some random stranger sitting at his kitchen table making moaning sounds.

"Rude, man, get me something to take away this fucking pain …" Reno whined.

"What is it?"

"… Bloody toothache …" Reno answered painfully as he turned to let Rude see the ice-bag he was holding to his right cheek.

"…"

"Hey man don't gimme that look. Help me get something kill the pain." Reno said, annoyed. He laid the left side of his face forlornly on the table and cursed.

Rude looked at Reno, not knowing what to do. He didn't have any painkillers or anything to help the poor Turk. He'd seen Reno go through all sorts of dealings but the sight of him now is near pathetic.

Looks like a toothache defeated him.

"Aw man Rude stop acting like a girl. Why're you standing there thinking little thoughts to yourself for?"

"…"

Rude went up to Reno and took away the ice-bag. Reno opened his mouth and pointed to the third last tooth on the right upper row.

"Dat one."

Reno's breath smelled of alcohol and tobacco as usual. Rude, peering into the Turk's mouth, picked up a pen and prodded the bad tooth.

"OI! What'd you do that for!" Reno jerked back, holding his jaw protectively. "Why'd you attack my tooth with that thing?"

Rude, having no experience with handling toothaches and cranky redheads, put the pen down with an apology. He then picked up the ice-bag which was now filled with water and pressed it to Reno's cheek. "I don't know what to do with toothaches."

"… Wrong side dude …" Reno threw the ice-water-bag into the kitchen sink and it burst upon impact.

"…"

"Oi Rude …"

Badass bald man in question turned his head a little.

"Maybe …"

Reno walked up to Rude and pressed his right cheek on the warm skin of his back. "Maybe cold doesn't work too well on me."

"…"

Rude held Reno's hand and sat down on the sofa, pulling Reno with him. Then he put an arm around the redhead, but Reno immediately moved up for a kiss. His lips parted and were an inch away from Rude's when the bad tooth started to protest.

"Argh … shit."

Reno held his jaw and slumped onto the sofa. "What timing …"

Rude looked at Reno's expressive blue eyes for while, then put a finger on the bony knuckles and felt the countless tiny scars that were made from punching.

"You're boring."

"…?"

"You never do anything exciting."

Rude looked at Reno's face. Is he pouting?

"Can't you at least touch me at places like my thigh? I'm so grouchy with this dumb toothache and all you can do now is touch my hand."

Then Rude took his finger off.

"…Okay you don't have to do anything. I'm used to making the first move." Reno said, rolling his eyes.

Rude had a blank look on his face. So now …?

…

Rude, then slid his arms under Reno's arms and knees then carried him to his room. He laid Reno on the bed and kissed him deeply. After seconds of lip-to-lip action, Rude removed his mouth from Reno's then reached for something in the drawer.

"God, Rude … I can't believe you did that … it's thoughtful of you …" Reno remarked between deep breaths. He moved up to Rude's lips to kiss him again, and then felt something cold close around his wrist.

"Handcuffs? You wanna go the naughty way?"

Rude didn't say anything. He was about to clasp the other side of the handcuffs to the post of the bed frame when Reno lunged for his mouth again, this time cutting his lower lip. He felt another pair of handcuffs around his other wrist, then pushed his tongue into the warm cavity which belonged to his partner.

--

Rude broke the kiss and got up, leaving Reno handcuffed to the bedpost.

"Wha-?"

"I don't think you'll want to go to the dentist's, so I'll get him here instead."

"What! Damn you Rude! And here I thought finally you're gonna be the raunchy one!"

"…"

"And I don't want no freakin' dentist. Lemme go or I'll swear you'll be in deep shit later."

"Later, Reno."

"Fuck! Don't do this to me! Rude!"

Bang. Door's closed.

"RUUUUUDE!"

--

"Is this some kind of joke?"

Rude raised his brows.

Don't tell me that scream was …

The dentist held up his index finger which was bleeding. "Your friend is over-aggressive."

… The dentist's … Shit.

"Sorry, he's been like this since young…"

The dentist threw a discerning look in the bedroom's direction. "He just has an ear infection."

--

Reno felt betrayed. He started muttering stuff like "stupid Rude" and "dirty bastard" under his breath, then heard the main door open and close.

Next he saw the bedroom door open and Rude entered.

"Fuck you Rude."

"You're welcome."

He unlocked the handcuffs and Reno immediately pounced on him, pinning him down on the bed.

"That was dirty."

"Didn't want to see your grumpy face."

"But now you will, for the rest of your life. I'm freakin' mad at you."

Reno stared into Rude's eyes for a few seconds before slowly bending down to lick the other's lips.

"Frankly I like you this way."

"Like how?"

"Beneath me."

Reno smirked and closed in on Rude. Their lips were about to make contact when …

"OWW!"

"…"

"Shit, shit, shit."

A/N :Sorry if it sounded choppy and unpolished. I haven't written such stuff in eons D:
