What you can expect from the fic overall: This is my version Reno's backstory, or how he got where he was in the various FF7 games and movies. It is a long, difficult journey, sometimes funny, sometimes sad. But hey, that's life.

What you can expect from this chapter: As promised, another sex chapter. This one with a girl. Enjoy!

Author's note: I wrote this because I can't see Reno as gay or straight … the guy isn't just bisexual, he's omnisexual. He's just as cool with girls as with guys, I think. And this was far easier to write than the last chapter because, while it isn't the romantic mushy sort of lovemaking, it's consensual on both sides.

There were really only so many things Bones could show him, Reno decided after a while. The guy just didn't know enough to make him happy. And Reno had discovered that he really, really liked sex. There was one particular part about sex that Bones just wouldn't be able to show him, and that was sex with a girl. Fortunately, Reno had no shortage of girls around him who knew a hell of a lot about sex.

His mind first jumped to the strippers who worked in the bars close by and liked to invite him backstage. He was still young enough and small enough that they didn't see him as a threat, and they liked to put him up in front of the mirrors while they got ready backstage. They didn't even mind walking around him naked … he never leered at them the way the men did or tried anything funny. The only problem with them as Reno saw it was they were all older, in their late teens or twenties, and could afford to be more selective in their partners than the streetwalkers.

So that left the streetwalkers. He didn't hang out much with them, except for Essie, because they were mean about their business. They didn't let boys near them unless they were paying, and if they were off-duty they were asleep. Even Essie spent most of her time sleeping if she wasn't working. Still, Reno could think of one or two who owed him a favor or who had looked at him the right way. And there was one name at the top of his list.

"Hey, any of you girls know Lor?" he asked a few of the whores as he walked along the sidewalk.

"Fuck off, creep." "Get away, you're ruining business, yo."

He wasn't fazed, though. It was only a matter of time before he found Lor. He'd seen her a few times since she'd first kept him company after Tim's death, so he knew she wasn't dead. And where else would someone from the slums go?

Finally, he caught sight of her dirty blonde hair. He strolled right up to her, trying to play it cool and waiting for her to recognize him. She was about to tell him off like all the rest of the girls when a smile spread over her face, showing her familiar gap teeth.

"Hey, Red, I thought I wasn't gonna see you again," she said, swaying her hips as she walked up to him. "Long time no see."

"Yeah," Reno agreed, grinning his usual grin at her. "I grew up."

"Yeah, I saw," she said, touching the mark on his right cheekbone. "You're Bones's boy now. Looks good on you, Red."

Reno shrugged like it didn't matter and gazed up at her. "So, I was thinkin' … you and me could … you know."

Lor raised her eyebrows and giggled, making her look younger. "Wow, you thought of me? You're a real sweetie, you know." She batted her eyes and twirled at her hair. "I ain't busy now…"

"Me neither," Reno said, trying to look like he knew what he was doing. He followed her down an alley and pressed her up against the wall, standing up on his toes so he could kiss her. Kissing was one thing he knew how to do with girls, and she seemed to agree, wrapping one leg around his hips and pressing her soft curves against him. He was well acquainted with the slow fire that filled his veins, so he pressed back, letting her know he was ready.

"You been with a girl before?" Lor asked quietly, removing her hands from his neck to shuffle at her clothing. Reno shook his head and kissed her again. "The thing you gotta know, if you're gonna give a girl a good time, is how to find her good spots."

She took Reno's hand and slid it under her skirt, pushing his fingers against the folds of her skin. He gasped quietly and started exploring, pressing and sliding and entering. He was a little surprised to find her wet, but she nodded her pink-cheeked face at him to continue. So he kept rubbing, lightly enough that he didn't hurt her but hard enough that she started making happy little moany sounds.

She hastily unfastened his pants and stroked him a few times, kissing him nicely and tilting her hips towards him. At another small nod, he started to push up into her. He gasped again … she felt hot and wet and wonderful. She moaned a little, so he reached up, cupping her breast and squeezing it tentatively to make her moans louder. He needed little more guidance, his body picking up an instinctual rhythm within her. It was over more quickly than he would have liked, but it was undoubtedly a very good end. She pressed his head against her neck and kissed at his hair, slowly unwrapping herself and pushing him away a little to arrange her clothing again.

"That was good, Red," she said appreciatively, smoothing at her hair. "You're gonna be real good at that one day, yo. But that's your last freebie … you always wear rubbers, okay? You don't wanna get sick."

Reno started arranging his clothing as well, tucking and wrapping and looking at her out of the corner of his eyes. She looked older than she had been a few years ago, with lines around her mouth that he didn't remember and a tiredness to her eyes. He embraced her gently once they were both clothed again and thanked her quietly. It just seemed like the right thing to do, but she looked surprised before she went back to the street, looking over her shoulder at the red-haired boy in the dark alley.
