The next morning, Aerith woke up with Reno's arm still wrapped around her. She was just going to slip out quietly but found he had a very tight grip on her.
"Reno?" she whispered.
He was unresponsive; still asleep.
At least, she thought he was… until his grip tightened.
"Reno! Let me go."
He chuckled quietly and grinned, leaving his eyes closed.
"Reno!"
"Mmm… how 'bout no? Come on, I got you in bed with me, do you think I'd let you go so easily?" he asked, finally opening his eyes to look at her.
"Reno, if you don't let me go this inst– mmph!"
Aerith was cut short as Reno kissed her. She struggled at first but eventually just gave in. It wasn't that bad. When both parties realized it was necessary to breath, Reno spoke:
"See, told you I wasn't that bad."
Aerith glared at him.
"What? I know you enjoyed that."
She sighed and looked away from him, her eyes looking downward towards his chest. "Yeah… I guess I did," she murmured.
"Wait? What was that? Did you just agree with me?"
"…"
"You did! Yus!"
"Shut up…" she said into his chest.
He hugged her closer and grinned. "I knew I'd get you to fall for me!"
She snuggled closer to him and smiled. "Yeah… guess I did fall for you."

"Where's Reno?"
"He… uh… he's not here, sir."
"I know that, but where is he?"
"I don't know, sir."
"Elena!"
"Yes sir?"
"We're taking President Rufus back to Shinra, is the car ready?"
"Yes, sir."
"Good. Rude?"
"Yes sir?"
"Find Reno."
"Yes, sir."

"Isn't that your phone?"
"No… well, yeah, but who cares?"
"Answer it, it might be important!"
Reno groaned and rolled off the bed. He stood up then walked over to where Aerith had left his jacket the night before. Pulling the phone out, he flipped it open and said, "The fuck do you want?"
"Reno! Tseng, Elena and the President were all waiting here for us. Where the hell were you?"
"Rude?"
"Yes?"
"Did it ever occur to you that I might be busy?"
"You have no life."
"Yeah, yeah… what do you want?"
"Tseng wants me to find you and drag your ass over to headquarters."
"Right… I'll meet you outside HQ in 20 minutes, 'kay?"
"Fine."
Reno clicked off the phone and dropped it back into his pocket. "I gotta go. But if you want I can possibly come back tonight… dunno though, Tseng'll probably shoot me before then." He chuckled to himself. "See ya!" With that, he put on his jacket and walked out the door.
