"Calm down Tseng, it was probably just your imagination, deep breaths," Tseng muttered to himself, rubbing his temples and trying to rid himself of the images in his head. They kept coming back to haunt him.
"Sir, are you feeling ok, you've been talking to yourself for a while now," a voice said from behind him, Tseng stiffened up and turned around slowly, he never even heard anyone coming up behind him, he was well out of it.
"Hello Elena, sorry there's been a lot on my mind lately, is there anything I can help you with?" Tseng asked in a vain attempt to get rid of her and back to his musings.
"Sir, the last time you were like this was when Reno-," she began but stopped when Tseng winced slightly, almost unnoticeably, at Reno. "Sir, what happened!" she demanded in a sharp tone.
"Wha-why ever would you say anything was wrong?" Tseng stuttered, taking an involuntary step back…into a wall.
"Spill now!" she said poking him in the chest, hard, an effective means of torture, poke, poke, poke, then surrender, trust me it works.
"Uhmmm, well…about that…I was…well…kinda late for my shift change in bodyguard duty and…well…I kinda heard a conversation…," Tseng by this stage abandoned all dignity and went bright crimson, eyes to the floor and looking as if he was near a mental meltdown.
"Yes?" Elena asked motioning for him to continue.
"They…were…Holy I can't…too scarred for life," he said and tried to get away.
"Now I'm curious, you're not getting out of it now, spill," she said with another poke to the chest.
"They…well…I don't know how to put this…" he trailed off.
"SPILL DAMMIT!"
"They were having sex, are you happy now?" Tseng bit out then groaned more mental images.
Whatever she was going to say was instantly forgotten with that remark.
"What, as in Reno and Rufus, you're kidding right?" she asked gaping at the Wutaiian Turk.
"I wish I was…" he muttered, "now if you would excuse me I have paperwork to fill in and get sent off."
Tseng side-stepped the blonde and went to go to his office, just then Rude walked around the corner.
"So who had sex, sorry but it was hard not to overhear," he said taking off his sun-glasses to clean them. Tseng slapped his head and pushed past the bald Turk. Well attempted to anyway.
"Reno and our dearest VP, I always knew he was gay," Elena answered folding her arms with a smirk.
"Look I don't know what you two heard but I've been with Reno long enough to know he's not gay," Rude said calmly, sure Reno may act like an eejit at times but that was just him.
Tseng and Elena gaped at the bald Turk, that was an unexpected piece of information. Rude went red.
"AS A PARTNER…A WORK PARTNER!" he quickly corrected, Elena looked at him sceptically, giving him a suspicious uh-huh as a reply, clearly not believing him.
"Look if you don't believe me I'll put up a hundred gil that he isn't gay and I'll pay for the drinks this weekend," Rude reasoned, digging out his wallet and pulling out the money, "you in?"
Tseng answered for him and Elena.
"I know what I heard, we're in," he said pulling out the money as well.
"I hope you have enough in your paycheque for this," Elena smirked pulling out a hundred gil herself, now things would get interesting.

AN: sorry to end this on a cliffy but it wouldn't fit any other way, don't worry as said more will come soon.
