DISCLAIMER: I OWN NOTHING FROM FINAL FANTASY 7!
Wrote this while watching Silent Hill and my Internet was down...so I thought I'd provide you all with an update! The song Reno is listening to and his favorite is Mama Tried by Merle Haggard.
Reno lay in a pool of blood, every few seconds his body twitched from the knife sticking out of his back. Elena held him close knowing he was already dead from blood loss as he limply hung from her shaking arms, Elena's eyes shut tight as she screamed.
Elena screamed sitting up to find herself in bed at Reno's home, she remembered that Reno went to a mental facility to help himself control his fear. He was released a month ago still having mild panic attacks but they lessened when Elena moved in with him.
The house was normal again well, as normal as it would get.. AVALANCHE and the Turks all helped to clean and restore Reno's home to its original state while he was away.
He was certainly surprised to find everything was repaired or they'd bought things to replace those that weren't fixable. Rufus offered Reno an apartment close to the other Turks but he declined telling them he grew up in this house and his mother left it to him before she died.
Elena moved in with Reno to help him and make sure his panic attacks didn't become a normal thing, luckily they weren't.
She got out of bed walking downstairs only to hear music playing, looking at the corner to her left she saw a record player that was still intact. He said his father gave it to him; every once in a while he played the only record he had for it which was also one of his favorite songs.
Turning away from it as the song played she continued calling Reno's name but getting no reply, "Reno!?" she was getting worried almost panicking before opening the bathroom door.
The same bathroom where Reno was carried from by his attacks, she looked in the corner of the room to find him in black jeans with a black long sleeved shirt curled in a ball, his eyes shot up to look at her when her hand connected with his shaking shoulder.
"Reno you okay?"
"Y-yea...just got a little nervous."
"Alright-" Elena stopped when she heard the front door open, the footsteps quickly approaching them and turning into the door way. Elena turned to see Barret and Marlene who both gave them questioning looks, "Miss. Elena why are you on the floor?" Marlene asked quietly as Elena chuckled.
"Marlene just call me Elena and Reno's in here."
Taking a few steps in he was shocked at the sight of the man curled up on his side. "Is he alright, should I call someone?"
"No no sometimes when he has a panic attack he comes in here, his doctors said he did it before coming home and he may still be like this for awhile." Elena ran her left hand through Reno's hair as he calmed down enough to sit up and look her way; her arms embrace him as his shaking eases.
"Are you sure he's okay?" Barret asked putting his large hand on Reno's shoulder as the red head stood and silently walked out.
The man went out to the living room and fell on to the couch, on his side again. Barret, Marlene and Elena followed him "He's fine now, he still has some fear being in this house but he's slowly going back to the Reno we knew before all this."
Barret smiled at the news that he would be alright after all that happened to him, looking to the clock to see the time.
"Oh man, well we have go… we'd stay longer but Tifa wants me to help her at the Heaven."
"Alright, thanks for coming by guys."
-- 7th Heaven --
Cloud and Tifa served drinks to their customers, hearing the door open and looking up they were surprised to see the two Turks that walked in.
Reno and Elena joined Rude and the others at a table closet to the wall, they knew about his nervousness so Tifa always kept that table open in case Reno did come by.
They didn't get anything as Reno sat beside Rude, their backs to the wall as the red head laid his head in his folded arms on the table.
Sometimes he came just to get away, sighing as someone tapped his shoulder. Reno nearly jumped out of his chair, Rude put a hand on his shoulder as Reno looked to his left.
"Man Reno, still jumpy as ever." the girl said putting her hands on her hips. "Shut up Yuffie." Reno's voice was shaken as Tifa pushed Yuffie towards a table that needed help.
"Sorry Re, you alright?" She asked with a worried glance as the Red head nodded.
"I'm fine, Tifa thanks." Elena switched places with Rude putting her arm around Reno's shoulders, smiling when she heard him whisper under his breath.
"I think I'm alright now."
I'm sorry for the crappy ending but that's all I got....I hope you liked the story and if you think I should add anything please let me know.
