Author's Notes: Yeah. The first thing I thought when I saw the prompt was 'Vincent Sees Dead People'… or soon to be dead people. Started by my friend picking random numbers, a lot of them, and 35 came up 3 times. So here it is. Mixed with a theme of curtains. And be warned, it is humor. Taken seriously my brain would implode.
Theme: Sixth Sense

Reeve's Sixth Sense
Okay, so maybe no one really remembered his name as the one that had built the city. Maybe the other executives did not respect him because he wasn't as cruel and soulless. Possibly the Turks looked down on him for the fact that he could easily use his Cait Sith to betray Shin-Ra. But, there was one thing that everyone came to him to ask him about. A source of pride for the youngest of the executives… Reeve had a sense of style and design that could not be matched.
In fact, before he'd gotten to Shin-Ra, Scarlet was known for her skimpy BLUE dresses instead of the reds that so suited her. It had been Reeve, attempting to avoid her affections, that pointed out that red would better compliment her complexion. Of course, Heidegger ignored his advice and still wore that sickening shade of green and Palmer kept to his putrid yellow-brown suits, but even Hojo had taken a bit of Reeve's advice. Women liked men that weren't afraid to show off their bodies, sure. But what they really liked was a man that could pull off full dress on the beach and the labcoat. In fact, that one had worked well too. From what Aeris and Tifa had told Cait, Hojo had been seen with plenty of ladies on the beaches of Costa Del Sol.
Unfortunately, there was one person that, no matter the wisdom of his style advice, Reeve could NOT get through to. No matter how hard he tried, no matter what ways he tried to convince the man, Rude was adamant. Refused to 'let his hair down' so to speak. Always that damn suit and always those damn glasses. Hell, they'd gone curtain shopping for Rude's new 'bachelor pad' and the man refused to allow Reeve a peek at his eyes. All the executive wanted was to match the color to Rude's eyes.
In the end though the executive had bought black out curtains with a lovely mako green cover on each side. If he couldn't match the damn things to Rude's eyes he'd go with the next best thing. Matching them to Reno's. Okay, so maybe he had a sense of style, but Reeve wasn't so blind that he didn't realize that the only reason Reno had fired his maid was because he didn't need her cleaning messes he didn't make anymore. Reeve couldn't help but wonder what Rude would think about the fact that the executive had been the one to convince Reno to go with red for a hair color to attract the Costa Del Sol native… Only time would tell.
