Chapter 2 - Mixed Signals

XXX

Reno heard a frighteningly familiar clearing of throat, coming from the bar's open doorway. He thrust Roxas, in Sora's body, away from him.

While a confused Sora cried inside, Roxas licked his lips, savoring his prey's taste.

Scared eyes moving towards his left, Reno viewed an enraged Cloud Strife. Oh, he was one dead Turk.

However, to Reno's blessed surprise, Cloud directed the anger, not towards him, but to Roxas. "Roxas! Let Sora have control. Reno doesn't want this. Give Sora back his body!"

Roxas snarled at Cloud. The expression foreign on Sora's face. "And what if I don't FUCKING WANT TO?"

Cloud walked forward. Heavy boots tromping across the wooden floor. Eyes glowing brighter. "I'll make you, Roxas. I did it before, and I'll do it again. The last time this happened, Squall cried. You know what happens when someone makes Squall cry in front of me."

Roxas shrank against the beer taps. Cringing, he covered his head. He didn't need to be reminded.

A blank-faced Cloud had been ready to flay Sora's body alive, uncaring that Roxas had done the wrong.

Thankfully, Leon diverted Cloud's attention, in time, with deep kisses and stirring caresses.

Limp hands dropping from his head, Sora regained control. Darkened blue eyes filled with tears. "I-I-I'mm-m-m-m s-s-s-orr-r-y Mis-s-s-st-ter R-r-ren-n-no!"

Backing away from the crying teenager, Reno waved his hands in front of him. "Hey! No harm, no foul, Sora! Wasn't you anyway, yo!"

Walking behind the bar, Cloud embraced Sora. "It's okay, Sora. Remember what Squall always tells you? This isn't your fault. My baby's never wrong. Right?"

Sora nodded. Face hidden in Cloud's shoulder.

Cloud tilted Sora's head, so he could gaze into troubled eyes."Anyway, we gotta go home. It's lunchtime. Squall's made a mini feast just for you."

Dragging a sagging Sora towards the door, Cloud halted for a moment, turning his head to a frozen Reno. "Turk! Missus invited you too. Let's mosey, yo."

Hearing the old phrase, Reno almost burst out laughing. Thinking of refusing, he decided he liked living. With a resigned shrug, he followed Cloud out the door.

Having the sixth sense all innate worriers have, Leon ran from the porch, to take Sora from Cloud. Like a mother hen, he immediately began fussing over Sora.

Cloud walked past the adoptive siblings into the house.

Not knowing what else to do, Reno followed.

Sitting down at the table, Reno stared down at his plate. He didn't dare look up, when Leon and Sora walked in afterwards.

Sitting a sniffling Sora down, Leon filled his plate full of nourishing food.

Reno felt confused.

Being Reno, he had long been used to being confused. But now, he had to be responsible too. This responsibility would be far different, than guarding an important person, or protecting a building.

After filling Reno's plate, Leon nudged him on the shoulder to eat.

Like a good little Turk, Reno dug in.

Reno's rat-fink Nobody, Axel, had married the teenager, Roxas. Screwing up Roxas's skull, like only a Street Rat could, he had died, leaving the mess to Reno.

Reno's gaze edged towards Sora's tear-stained face. Fucking baby. What the heck had his Nobody been thinking?

Reno snorted, almost making the food go down the wrong pipe. Hacking, he quickly drank some water. Well, he knew what the Street Rat had been thinking with. It hadn't been the head on his shoulders.

To the Street Rat, Roxas must have looked like a shining angel. Poor virgin never stood a chance.

Reno shook his head to himself.

Roxas had been programmed well, before the bastard had kicked the bucket. The kid knew exactly what buttons to push to get Reno's groin pumping.

If Cloud didn't show up, Reno wasn't sure what would have happened. Actually, he knew exactly what would have happened. He just wouldn't be alive right now to think about it.

Goddamn Nobody!

Axel. Hmph. He got to have his jollies, but Reno had to pay the price. Man! Being a good guy sucked.

"Reno?"

Reno wearily looked over to a concerned Leon. "Would you like some more? I made plenty."

With surprise, Reno looked back down at his plate. Without tasting one bite of food, he had scraped the plate clean.

Glancing back up to a still concerned Leon, Reno gave him a rare genuine smile "No thanks, Mrs. Strife. For once, this Turk's full."

Sitting on the bench, in front of the Strifes' house, Reno rocked back and forth, while handling his ever-present Electro-Magnetic Rod.

The rocking halted, when Sora sat down beside Reno.

Sora's hesitant voice sounded raspy from crying. "Roxas was right all along. You're warm. Just like Axel. Fighting together, I stood back-to-back with him, before he died. I thought the heat, from his back alone, would burn my shirt off."

Reno turned his head towards Sora. "Ya think he loved you, like Roxas?"

Sora shrugged.

After thinking, for a moment, Sora nodded. "Before he died, Axel said Roxas made him feel like he had a heart. I made him feel the same. When his body disappeared, I actually felt his soul move through me. When Roxas relived the memory in my brain, he cried for days afterwards. He wished he had never left Axel alone."

Sora sidled closer to a reticent Reno. "Don't be mad at Roxas. Please? I agree. At the worst of times, he had a horrible relationship with Axel, but I think they really did love each other. This probably won't make you think better of him, but Axel hunted down all the Organization members who tried to harm Roxas. He did everything he could to make sure Roxas stayed safe."

Reno laughed at Sora's simplistic thinking.

Once a Street Rat, always a Street Rat. Protect your own had always been the code of the slums. Axel had just been protecting his own.

Reno looked into Sora's bright-eyes. So easy to love. It would be so easy to love this Light.

Reno shook his head. Responsible. He would be responsible, if it killed him. Standing up, he looked back down at innocent Sora. Yep. It would kill him alright.

Smirking, Reno saluted a softly smiling Sora, by tipping his EMR to his forehead. "See ya later, Mate."

To the sweet music of Sora's giggles, Reno sauntered off.

Eh. When confused, Reno figured he'd do what he always did. He would live life, do his job, and ignore the problem, until the shit hit the fan. He would then scurry for a good hiding place.

Walking back to the Seventh Heaven, where he had rented a room, Reno grinned. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. A rule this Turk lived by.

XXX

The shit hit the fan a couple of days later.

A naked Reno woke up to Sora sucking him in the dark.

Besides the automatic feeling of elation, Reno quickly tried to figure out how Sora could sneak past all his little Turk traps and enhanced senses.

While attempting to pull Sora off, Sora did a certain something with his tongue, which made Reno's eyes roll to the back of his head.

When he regained his senses, Reno realized who manned the ship. He pushed on small shoulders. "Roxas! Pull off. Ain't gonna do this without Sora's okay. I'm thinkin' you ain't got it, yo."

Sitting up on his knees, Roxas licked his lips.

Reaching over, Reno switched on the bedside lamp.

Expecting to see Roxas's blond hair and lighter blue eyes. Reno, instead, had Sora gazing at him, with one light blue eye, and one dark blue eye.

Needless to say, if Reno had a hard-on, the erection wilted, in lieu of the the freakishness before him.

"Actually, Sora's willing, if you're gentle with him. Unlike me, he's never had sex before."

Reno's eyebrow and penis quirked at the thought."What changed your mind, Sora?"

When Sora took over, Reno could actually see the innocent coat being slipped back on. "Umm. Well… whenever I did anything with Riku, it never felt right. I knew I was gay, but he didn't feel like the one. Ya know? When we kissed you, it felt different. In fact, whenever we're around you, it feels different. I feel warm… and happy."

Bending forward, Reno took Sora's face in his hands, so he couldn't turn away. "Sora. You've only known this Turk for a couple of days. Ain't gonna do it to ya. Ain't right. Deserve better, yo."

Lunging forward, Sora buried himself, against Reno's shocked body. "Please! It's so cold without you. Cloud says the same thing, when Leon's late from a meeting, and he tries to sleep alone. He can't because he's too cold. I'm tired of being cold. You're so warm. Share it with me. Please?"

Chuckling, Reno enveloped the snuggling teenager closer. "Do they know you're here?"

Sora had taken off most of his clothes, but kept his boxers on. "Yeah. Cloud didn't want me to come, but Leon convinced him I'd be safe. Cloud trusts Leon's judgment on everything."

Laying back down, Reno covered them both with a blanket. Reaching over, he turned off the light.

Reno kissed the top of Sora's head. "That's what happens when you're married. Ya trust each other, yo."

Sora nuzzled Reno's chin, until he looked down. He then gave Reno the sweetest kiss. "I know Roxas married Axel, but this feels right to me. Goodnight, Husband."

Sniggering, Reno tightened his hold around Sora. He could handle Sora just fine. Roxas, on the other hand, would be keeping him constantly on his toes. "Goodnight, Mate."
