Summary: Reffie goes public.
When their relationship was new there was hardly a honeymoon stage.
She would only come over unannounced and sporadically.
He would only stop by the bar at times he wanted to see her.
When apart they communicated only through text messaging on their phones, and even that was only a couple of times a week.
Neither of them was particularly available to the other.
It wasn't until they happened upon each other when the Turks came into Tifa's bar to relax for the night that they even acknowledged their relationship.
Tseng, Elena, Rude, and Rufus had decided to accompany Reno on this night of drunken debauchery, and Yuffie had just pulled into the bar on her bike.
As Tifa had begun pouring the Turk's 9th round, which of course was going to be on Rufus' tab, she looked up and greeted the ninja.
Reno looked back at her and saw that she had a startled look on her face, surprised to see the whole lot of Turkeys and Shinra's chairman.
He gave her a drunk yet warm smile, and she nodded her head at him in acknowledgement. She set her helmet and keys down on the backside of the bar and pulled off her motorcycle jacket.
Tifa, knowing that there was something going on between the Turkey and the ninja, asked Yuffie to take them their round of drinks.
Yuffie rolled her eyes at Tifa but never refused interaction with Reno, especially if other people were around. What was between them was like their little secret.
As she placed the drinks down on the table she could tell that the whole lot of them was drunk. Elena, Tseng and Rude were in their own drunken conversation, their laughter making it hard to hear in the bar. As Yuffie was about to leave Rufus slid an arm around her waist and pulled her down onto his lap.
Reno's eyes widened and his posture straightened as he watched his boss whisper a greeting into the ninja's ear. Yuffie, not quite rendering what was happening yet, wore a startled and embarrassed look on her face. She had always had a crush on Rufus, but it was something she only talked about when she and Reno would hang out.
Reno stood up from his chair, grabbed Yuffie's wrist and pulled her away from their table. All the Turks' eyes followed them, their conversation silencing. Reno stopped as they stood in front of the stairs that led to the second floor, pulled her close and kissed her.
He looked back at the table of startled Turks and apologized to his boss before heading upstairs.
This one's mine.
It might be a bit till my next update. I always try to upload in groups (especially since I know my fics are short), but this was my last buffer. I've been stuck on the next theme for a while. :P
In the meanwhile, happy holidays, everyone!
