Reno's p.o.v:

Okay, I will admit something right here.

Out of all the places to hide from Tseng, under his boss's desk probably shouldn't be one of them. Granted he is my boyfriend, which probably doesn't help to make things better. I might've gone a little too far this time with rigging Tseng's chair. Considering he's been trying to strangle me all day, yeah, went too far today. Hence why I'm under a desk right now.

In all due respect though this is not the desk I was hoping to be under.

I heard the door open and mentally panicked a little. If that was Tseng, I'm kinda screwed. If that's Rufus then I'm a little more screwed because I have to explain why I'm under his desk. But that's probably a better outcome than Tseng's tie around my neck. So please let that be Rufus, please let it be Rufus...

"Let's see if I can actually get some work done."

I grinned seeing the heel of Rufus's shoes click across the floor to his desk. Yay I'm not gonna die! Not yet at least but still for now I'm not dead!

I heard a box being moved and hit my head on the desk when I saw Rufus stoop down to look at me. "Hi Reno."

I would've blanched but the color already left my face. "Hey Mr. Shin-Ra, what's up?"

Rufus pushed his chair back and sat in front of me with a smirk. "Coincidence, I was going to ask you the same question considering you're currently under my desk."

I chuckled nervously and scratched the back of my neck. "Yeah, about that..."

Rufus smirked again and held one of my hands. "You're in trouble with Tseng again aren't you?"

I let out a sigh. "Yeah, kinda."

Rufus rubbed my wrist making me shiver slightly from the friction of his watch. "So a lot?"

I let out a defeated whine and leaned on his shoulder. "Yeah, basically a shit ton."

Rufus chuckled and pulled my head onto his chest. "Okay, what did you do this time?"

I fiddled with his tie. "Rigged his chair."

Rufus pulled his fingers through my long crimson tresses. "Did it fall?"

I snickered. "It fell apart."

Rufus almost choked on his laugh. "No wonder he's after you. He's been texting me for the last hour asking if I've seen you."

I started paling again. "Oh shit."

Rufus helped me up, sitting in his chair while I sat in his lap. "Don't worry, you'll be fine. He was ordering another chair when you broke his, so he's not as mad."

I made a confused/worried noise in my throat. "But he's still mad."

Rufus adjusted his collar. "Yes but at least he won't bite your head off."

I m nodded. "Okay, so where is he?"

Rufus shifted under me to pull his phone from his pocket. "He said he would be up in five minutes with a stack of more reports and more coffee."

I quirked an eyebrow. "You really like the coffee shop we've been going to?"

Rufus kissed my cheek. "If I had the time I'd buy the shops."

I laughed and stood from his lap, sitting in front of his desk as footsteps approached his door.

Rufus straightened out his papers and pushed up his glasses as a knock sounded on the door. "Come in!"

Tseng walked in and stood next to Reno, giving a salute. "Is this still an acceptable time to talk to you and Mr. Sinclsmile

I nodded while Reno nodded and moved his chair over for Tseng to sit down. "I think we all know the matter at hand concerning Mr. Sinclair and an office chair?"

Tseng nodded again while Reno started to fidget with his hands. "Yes Sir."

I gave Reno a soft smile, turning my attention to the both of them. "Alright. Mr. Sinclair this is one of your more...tame offenses in terms of destroying company property. Since it was only an office chair I'll have another ordered immediately to be shipped here and installed no later than is afternoon."

I turned back to Reno and pushed up my glasses. "And since it was your actions to cause the broken chair, I will deduct the cost from your check but nothing further than that, understood?"

Reno nodded with a serious expression. "Yes Mr. Shin-Ra, understood."

"Excellent, Tseng you are dismissed and may finish any remaining desk work in Conference Room L at the end of the hall."

Tseng nodded and rose from his chair, exiting my office.

Reno sat and kept staring while I walked behind him to rub his shoulders. "Now didn't I tell you it wouldn't be a big deal?"

Reno sighed and rolled his head around in my grip. "I know, but I can't help but worry sometimes ya know?"

I kissed his cheek, digging into the base of his neck. "I get it, but you shouldn't stress so much, you'll only kill yourself faster."

Reno groaned and laughed. "I'd probably get myself killed faster by pissing off Elena."

Okay, I had to laugh at that. "Okay you've got a good point there."

Reno leaned back on my chest, looking up at me through the hair in his eyes. "I think I should get back to work."

I smiled and hugged him once more. "As you wish. Dismissed to resume with your work."

Reno grinned and gave a sloppy salute, sauntering out the door and shutting it quietly.

I sat back in my chair and picked up my pen, resuming my sign-a-thon. 'Such a lucky bastard I am.'
