Tseng held the child under his arm. "under the influence of a sleep spell. ..I have not yet decided his fate."
Another grunt and nod, and Rude left it at that.
Rennan's eyes fluttered open and he peered up at Rude, before scrabbling to get to him. "Papa Rude. .you don't know how happy I am to see you!" the little redhead boy had held up well in front of Shion but now that he was safe the shakes had hit. . .big time.
A tiny smile touched the corners of Rude's mouth as he reached out, his hand going to ruffle through the boy's damp spikes.
"Papa's gonna be ok?"
"He'll be fine. He's just sleeping."
Rennan nodded. "You shoulda seen it! I fried him, he got so mad, too. . .and unca Tseng was just so AWESOME!"
The voice in the back of Rude's head smacked its forhead with a 'Jesus, not another one...' "Just remember to be careful," he said out loud.
"I know. but Unca Tseng blew his ass AWAY! it was so COOL!"
"Language, Rennan." Damn, the kid really was just a mini-Reno.
Reno sat up rubbing his eyes, the noise had woken him up. . .he lofted a brow at Rennan that clearly said "Adult words, buster." before shaking his head at himself. ..he really WAS going to have to start watching his mouth around his son.
"How come papa don't talk?"
"He's still working on getting better," Rude offered, trying his best to use little kid words. "Sometimes it's better not to talk to help you get better faster."
Reno stuck his tounge out to show where he'd sliced it all the way across, it had almost been completely severed, but it was beginning to heal.
"Yuck...that looks NASTY!"
Rude's look was enough, but he still said the boy's name anyway. "Rennan, be nice." Goddamn, the kid was WORSE than a mini-Reno.
Rennan was. .well, he was just being a typical five year old. .but he looked chagrined nonetheless. "Sorry Papa. .."
Reno j ust waved it off, he'd been around enough kids to know that it was typical for someone that age.
Rude, on the other hand, was of the camp that believed children were just little adults with a lesser vocabulary.
Or in Rennan's case the whole range, the kid was incredibly smart for five, and picked up everything fast.
Reno simply reached up, planting a gentle one with almost no tongue on his husband, anything with tounge hurt at that moment. but he felt this need to restablsh the family bond, so to speak.
Rude just sighed, his look indicating that Reno should rest.
Reno leaned back, sighing. ..he patted the bed to indicate he wanted Rude with him, then shooed everyone else out.
Rennan just grinned in the annoying way that kids had that said "I know what you do when we're in bed" before walking out behind the other two Turks.
"Rennan!" If that child wasn't the death of Rude... surely Reno would be.
Reno's chest shook wth silent laughter as the three left.. .he couldn't help himself. ..it was too funny how flustered Rude got and how surprised he was that kids were so smart.
"Don't think you're off the hook just because your kid's just like you," he warned.
Reno just got this contrite look and sighed. ..here it comes. ..
"And he is just like you, too, from what I hear..." Rude said. Ah, where to begin?
Reno had not a thing really he could say. .now that he was out of the abusive situation Rennan's true personality was beginning to blossom.
"He takes too many risks, doesn't think before he acts..." And Rude was just getting started.
Reno thought to himself that he was being normal impulsive five year old, but didn't want to let on, it would make HIS actions look worse.
"And I'm not just speaking of things your son does, Reno. You are just as bad, if not worse. For someone who's so caught up on keeping ME alive and well, you seem to be in quite the hurry to off yourself"
Now THAT drew a blush. .the crimson stain flooding his face, what made it worse is that Rude was right. ..he'd been almost suicidally reckless lately.
"Nothing to say in your defense?" Rude asked. He figured he'd give Reno the option to defend his actions before continuing.
He shook his head. ..Rude was right. ..the only defense he had in his case was that he'd saved Rufus life, he jotted that fact down for him.
Rude reached into his jacket, pulling out a tiny bottle that held an orange and red feather in it. The feather sparkled like an ember, as if it would burst into flame the second it tasted air. He raised an eyebrow at Reno.
"You need to let me know you carry emergency supplies now, I don't know if I'm not told." his brow knitted in consternation.
"A Turk is prepared for whatever might confront him," Rude quoted from the ShinRa Company Turk Employee Handbook... page 12.
Again, the blush grew deeper. .he really had grown addled lately, and it showed. .. "
"Just..." Rude's hands moved as he tried to find the right words. "Just... tell me why. Why you do it"
"Lately. .I don't know. .always been reckless and impulsive n' shit, you know that. .lately though.. I think I just got sicka bein' a victim.. .figured it was time I started fightin' back an' I. ..well, overcompensated."
"Understatement of the century," Rude mumbled.
He nodded. "I got pissed."
"I could tell."
"It's an improvement over mopey and suicidal, though. ..at least this time I wasn't INTENDING on scaring the hell outta you." weak defense, and he know it.
"You never do INTEND to scare the shit out of me, but you always do it anyway." Rude wasn't giving an inch. He wasn't.
"Well. ..maybe with the pills. .." he admitted. It wasn't conscious manipulation on his part, but some part of him had wanted to get his point across.
"There are better ways of telling me things, you know."
"At that time, you weren't listening. .." something Rude WOULD have to admit to.
"Still no excuse. I'm not stupid."
"No, no excuse...I was. .shit, not even sure what was going through my head then except. ..I was hurtin' so bad then I had no idea how to get through it..I've never dealt with that sorta thing well, ya know. ..and I was. .in a word mentally exhausted."
Rude decided it best not to mention that mental exhaustion was a daily occurance for him. Most days. Especially lately.
"I'm gettin' better. .shit.. . just didn't come ta terms with a lotta the shit that happened, but I'm doin' it now...still need you, though. ..and yeah. ..I know you care more'n you're lettin' on, but I'm not callin' ya on it. not totally. ..no need ta borrow trouble"
Rude just sighed. It was really all he could do to keep from bringing up every single thing Reno possibly did between the first time he'd ended up with salt in his coffee to now that had irritated him.
And Reno knew it too. ..so he turned away, the look he got when he KNEW he was in the wrong with no excuses.
"But it's never going to change, is it? I mean, it's just who you are, right?" See? Rude was offering the olive branch first... just like he always seemed to.
He nodded. "I'm willing to tone it down. ..for you.. ..you know I like to play pranks n' shit...but I know not alla 'em are funny. .. Tseng wasn't too happy about his boxers all bein' pink from the red sock I tossed inta his white wash."
"Didn't that suit of the President's come out of your pay?" he asked.
"It did, yeah."
Rude sighed again. "Just... just tone it down a little, okay? The pranks aren't as bad as, say, the death-defying stunts."
He nodded. "I love ya. ..but then again ya know that."
Rude's smile said what his lips couldn't. He still wasn't totally comfortable with all the... lovey dovey gooshy romantic... crap.
"I can hardly wait tas be healed up all the way an' outta this place. .miss. .hell alla it. ..you always made me feel more alive than cheatin' death anyway."
Rude bit his tongue. It was probably best not to bring up what he was thinking about Reno, instead of trying to cheat death, just try to get in Rude's pants when the urge struck him to do something stupid.
It was what Reno was thinking, and that lofted brow said it clearly.
"You're injured. And I'm... not ready. So stop thinking about it," Rude's face was rather pink and seemed to get pinker as he spoke.
"Can't. ..you make me all fuckin' hot n' bothered."
"Stop that." Rude's face was going for the world record in blushing, it seemed.
"Don't tell me you don't feel the same." He gestured to the not-quite obvious yet but still there bulge.
Rude's hands quickly went over his groin. "Stop talking like that."
"Then stop tryin ta lie ta me an' yourself because you're too afraid ta let ourself get involved again." the way his hands moved when writing that showed he knew more than he let on.
"I'm not lying, I'm being...cautious."
"overcautious. .I fuckin' love you, but I need ta know it's mutual. .I need ta FEEL it. ..or I start ta wonder."
"No one ever died from being cautious." Okay, Rude knew that was a blatant lie -- in fact, he had caused a few deaths of the overly cautious in his time -- but he had nothing else, really.
"Don't play that with me..and there are other kindsa death besides physical. .." That statement spoke so eloquently of how he felt. .
"Reno..." he sighed.
"I felt. ..during the time when you'd lost your memory and then with you holdin' back. ..little by little. ..somethin' inside's been dyin' and dammit. ..it HURTS." there. ..he'd finally said it.
"You're injured," Rude said, standing up and fluffing Reno's pillows. He knew he was dodging the issue, but he didn't have a good enough for the redhead answer for why he was being so cautious. Besides, Reno was the risk taker; Rude... not so much.
"I fuckin' need you. ..and that's the answer I get." the words were scrawled with wild, angry motions.
"Reno..." Rude's sigh seemed to echo. He just realized that without Reno's voice, the room seemed... emptier.
"I need you to love me..to be in my life every fuckin' day of it. ..your touch on every fuckin' level..your chest to lean on. ..your steady presence that is the wall I lean on when I got no strength of my own. ..alla it"
There was nothing he could say to make Reno understand, and Rude knew it. So he just sighed.
"Are you that fuckin' afraida losin' me that you can't even be there?" his eyes had misted some. .yes, he felt strongly about it. ..very.
"I don't want to mess it up by moving too fast."
"So instead... ya do it by bein' too slow.." he looked away. ..this was hurting. ..but he'd done his best to stay quiet about it.
"I'm not moving too slow for me." Rude could tell he was getting nowhere fast.
Reno just curled up on his side. ..his entire body radiating the need he had to know. ..to hear it from Rude.. .but it wasn't happening, and didn't look like it would anytime soon. "There's gotta be a happy medium here. ..there's gotta. ..but you gotta give a little too if we're gonna find it." the pad was held with his hand sloping over his hip.
"I'm trying." It was not a whine. It wasn't.
Nothing else was written or said. .just his pose radiating the hurt he felt. . .the hurt he'd done his damndest to hide in his effort to be patient. . ..as he let his eyes drift closed.
Another sigh from Rude and turned to walk out of the room.
Elena dropped into step next to him. "lunch? or whatever meal it is. ..you look like you could use someone to talk to"
"I'll pass. Thanks." He turned towards the doors leading outside. He needed to clear his head.
Elena just sighed. .watching him go. .walking back into Reno's room.
his pose was "go away" and "I need a hug" all at the same time.
"Aren't you two the pair of happy campers," Elena said as she sat down next to the redhead's bed.
Reno turned over, picking up the pen "He's not ready. .I don't think he ever WILL be."
"You catch more flies with honey, Reno." Elena, quite frankly, was getting a little tired of always playing den mother.
"Honey's gettin' nowhere. .. neither is honesty. ..shit. ..do I hafta get him loaded again?"
"Couldn't hurt, could it?" She said with a smile. She was also getting rather irritated with the both of them dancing around each other. She had more important things to worry about... like keeping Rude's little brother from trying to move in with her.
"I think I will...I'm outta here later today. .Could ya pick me up a bottle of Glenlivit and some JD?"
"Breaking out the heavy stuff?" She teases.
"Damn straight. ..I'm sicka us dancing around, too. .."
"Give me your keys. I'll have the bottles waiting on your kitchen counter."
"Thanks yo." He hands her the spare door key. "Oh, And Laney. .. tell the little fucker to do the world a facor and piss Rude off again. .. maybe he'll finish the job this time." he let out a silent chuckle.
Elena frowned. "Which one? There seems to be quite a few 'little fuckers' wandering around these days."
"You know exactly which one, though yeah, wouldn't mind if he offed Josh, either."
She just shook her head, walking out of the room to do Reno the favour.
When the doctor came around with the paperwork a few hours later, he practically YANKED the sheet of paper out of his hand. ..waiting for Rude to get over to take him home, he'd asked Tifa to keep Rennan for the night.
Rude frowned as he watched Reno scrawl his signature across the papers' appropriate lines. Reno was up to something; he could feel it.
He didn't speak a word as he got into the car, no writing, not even gesturing. ..but he did bob his head in time with the music. .. when they got out, he went into the bag, pulling out the bottles, then pulling down two rocks glasses. .. .pouring himself and Rude doubles.
Rude's eyebrow would have met his hairline... if he had a hairline.
Reno gestured him to take his drink as he took several sips of his own drink.
Rude's face clearly was asking Reno for a reason for this sudden bout of alcoholism, but he took a sip of his drink anyway.
Reno just shrugged, turning the tv on to the baseball game that was on. ..Moogles vs the company sponsered Chocobos. ...he grinned. ..just mellowing out, gesturing to a spot on the sofa next to him.
"Why can't I root for the Chocobos?" he asked rhetorically, taking a seat next to Reno.
Reno shrugged, he could root for who he wanted.
"I mean, I just don't feel right rooting for the team that a few people whose blood I spilled helped pay for..."
Reno downed the rest of his drink, practically daring Rude to keep up, before he poured himself another.
Rude raised his eyebrow. "It hasn't been that long since we've had a drink, has it?"
Reno nodded, it had. . .he'd been in and out of hospitals so much the last few months, when was the last time they'd been able to just relax?
Rude just 'hmph'ed and finished his drink, stending up for another one.
Well, it didn't take long before they were both pretty thoroughly trashed. ..Reno leaned into Rude's shoulder, then pressed his mouth to his, very very gently. ..just testing.
Rude didn't even realize he'd belched in Reno's face until after the fact, offing up and apology and a kiss to the nose.
Reno quirked his brow. ..before locking lips with him again, just the tiniest bit more insistant. ..not lascivious, though.
A 'mmm' sound left Rude's lips as he hesitantly kissed back.
Reno let his tongue wander across, ignoring any feeling other than the pleasure. ..and surprisingly. ..it was all he felt. ..letting out a soft gasp. .
Rude found his fingers moving to tangle up in Reno's hair as he tilted the man's head back, tracing his tongue over those soft lips.
Another moan, his hands winding their way over Rude's sides and around his back. ..pulling him close. ..it felt so incredible.
A sighing breath escaped his lips as he moved to kiss down Reno's neck and along his jawline.
Reno returned the affectionate pecks. ..moving slowly and gently. ..despite Rude's lowered inhibitions he didn't want to take a chance of ruining this.
Rude paused, reaching for his glass and finishing his he couldn't remember what-th drink before going back to nibbling at Reno's neck.
Reno's hand trailed down Rude's chest, then along his side, finding that strip of skin on each side he'd almost forgotten about,, the one that drove him wild. ..he was hoping Rude hadn't remembered it either.
The gasp and shudder that nearly exploded from Rude should have been indication enough. He moved his fingers quickly, stripping off Reno's shirt -- but nothing more -- before going back to kissing him on the lips.
Reno kept his caress up over that spot. ..he had plenty of ribs showing from being in and out of the hospital so much, but it would change now that he was home with Rude to cook for him again. ..he nipped at one of Rude's nipples after removing the wife beater that was his usual casual attire.
Rude gasped, his eyes going towards the back of his head as his fingers threaded through the red strands of hair.
Reno's hands then slowly unbuttoned Rude's jeans. ..his fingers trailing down inside them. ..playing very very gently, just tracing the shape in soft caresses. ..he had to show him. ..since he could not yet tell him.
Rude's breath hitched, his fingers pressing against Reno's skull as he felt those skilled fingers just tracing him.
Reno then leaned down, pressing soft, gentle kisses to the hard length...before swallowing him whole...his eyes sliding to hallf-mast at the sensation of having his lover respond to him again.
Rude's hands scrabbled at the couch, searching for purchase as his senses were blindingly overloaded.
Reno took him all the way into his throat, vibrating the muscles around tthe head...moaning a bit as well. ..tounge working around the shaft. ..his fingers working his balls gently.
Rude's breath was nearly exploding in and out of him as he sharply inhaled and exhaled, trying not to get off too quickly, but still trying to enjoy all the sensations.
eno lifted up for just a moment, putting one of the breath freshener pocket strips he kept in his jacket pocket into his mouth then diving back on, knowing the antiseptic in it would cause his flesh to tingle.
And tingle Rude did, right to the point of his eyes opening wide as he spilled himself down the redhead's throat.
Reno swallowed it down, then kissed Rude soundkly. .the bigger man would be able to feel how painfully hard he was as well. ..as he tested if speaking still hurt and he whispered "I love you. .." again, no pain, and he let out a contented sigh. .."Need you..." the words were a bare breath against his ear.
Rude hadn't even realized he'd shut his eyes until he heard Reno speak. "Reno...?" his own voice came out in a breathy whisper.
"Was testing. ..it. .it doesn't hurt. ." he siezes the ear with the piercings in his mouth and whispers "I love you" again against the outer shell. ..tounge and teeth working in delightful ways. ..he was stiff as board inside the blue denim. . .
Rude's nerves were still firing on all cylanders from his recent orgasm, causing him to gasp at Reno's mouth's touch.
"I want to feel you again, baby. .." he slowly slid his pants off. ..this was the first time since both Rude's injury and his assault with the rifle that they had been intimate. ..he wanted it to be special. ..it was obvious from the 10 inches that stood completely out from the crown of his thighs how badly he wanted and needed this. ..he leaned his body all the way against Rude's, chest to chest sitting up right now. .his green eyes showing no reticence. ..he whispers "I trust you. ..only you. ."
Rude was hit with a sudden bout of conscience. "Are you...? I don't know if I can"
"We'll take it slow. ..I'll tell you if it hurts. ..I promise. ..but. .I need to feel you again..."
"I don't know..." Rude's eyes didn't meet Reno's. He truly wasn't sure it was in both their best interests to keep going.
Those eyes begged... it would truly hurt him both body and heart if Rude copped out on him now. ..he uttered a tiny soft voiced "please.. ." along with a soft kiss.
Rude just breathed deeply for a moment, and after that moment, looked into Reno's eyes. "If you end up hurting yourself...
"Like I said. ..we'll take it slow. ..I promise if it hurts I'll tell you. .but I need this. ..you don't know how bad I need this. .. "
There was a loud sigh, then Rude nodded his head once.
Reno rested in his lap now. ..kissing him. ..the eyes that had been misty the whole night finally overflowing in relief and so many other emotions...he found the bottle of Astroglide in the little table next to the sofa, yes, he had the lube stashed in every room of the house, you never knew when you might have need of it...he gave it to him. . .his hand squeezing Rude's in a way that so long as he didn't back out. ..he could take this encounter as slowly as he felt the need to.
"I... I don't know what to do," he said, his face pink. "I mean, I KNOW what to do, but I don't KNOW what to do, you know?"
"I'll show you.. .do you trust me?" That question. ..the one that had seen them through so much.
There was another deep breath before Rude just nodded.
Reno spread the lube over Rude's fingers...gently guiding.. .so many gaps, but he had no fear at all. ..despite everything he'd been through over the past year he had no fear of his husband or of what was to come in the least. ..as one finger slid inside he would feel that the flesh though still the tiniest bit scarred gave as it normally would with his touch. ..parting for the first finger. ..Reno letting out a soft hitching gasp of pleasure as the tip found that spot inside.
To say Rude's eyes were wide would be an understatement. He could vaguely remember the sensations associated with doing what they were doing, but to actually feel them again as if for the first time?
As he guided the second inside and it also found that spot his muscles TWITCHED, his entire body shuddering. .he let out a low moan as his head tilted back. ."Rude. .." the name came out a soft moaning cry.
"I can't... can't believe..." Rude's words were clipped short as he felt those muscles pinch at his fingers, his mind instantly wondering what it would feel like other body parts in there.
Reno as soon as he thought he was ready very very slowly stripped Rude the rest of the way down, the climbed atop him.. .slowly, inch by inch,sliding that length inside...there was suprisingly little pain, only the tiniest sting. .and when the head brushed that spot. .his muscles clenched and he gasped and let out a soft "ngn.." Rude was inside him.. .sheathed inside him again where he belonged..
Rude's mind had NOTHING on the actual feeling of being inside Reno. If he hadn't already gotten off but moments before, he would have came right then and there.
"Baby...I love you so damn much.. ..never ever leave me again. .." the words came out a hushed whisper. ..he was facing Rude, those tears clearly visible. ..but they were tears not of pain, but of how very much he loved the man inside him right now. ..his motions when he started moving were slow...gentle. ..wanting to make this special. ..wanting it to last.
Rude found that his mouth wasn't exactly cooperating at the moment, not that he really had anything earth shattering to say anyway.
As his body took over and he began moving on sheer instinct Rude's name came out of his lips in a rising cadance. ..his hair, now loose, spilling down his back, his skin glowied under the dim lighting, and even with the weight lost from being in and out of hospitals he was still beautiful, the hint of rib only adding to the mystique that deceptively fragile beauty gave the slender redhead.
Rude could only hold on for the ride, his hips slightly rising and falling in time with Reno's movements.
Reno suddenly stiffened. ..his mouth falling open. .eyes sliding all the way shut. ..body tense as a rail. his head craning back as his hands splayed over Rude's hips to keep himself upright. ..he let out a soft, hitching moaning cry just before his breath stopped altogether for a few moments as if he'd forgotten how. ..seed leaving him in soft white pulses that spread over his belly and Rude's pelvis as he felt himself falling forward against Rude...eyes half-closed as he clenched around Rude in waves for several long moments afterwards with the aftershocks that rocked over his nerves... ..one more soft whispered "You're... perfect. ..love you so damn much" as he lay there completely sated for now.
Reno's release triggered Rude's, and as he gasped for air, all he could see was the blood red hair that threatened to suffocate him.
Reno brushed his hair out of Rude's face with a single trembling hand. .."That. ..wasn't so bad, was it?" as he leaned against that chest. ..
"How on earth could that be classified as bad?" he asked, trying to catch his breath.
"You were nervous. ..but I trusted you...I knew. ..you'd never hurt me. ..and I sure as FUCK had no intention of hurting you...do you know. ..how very much I love you?" those green eyes pinned Rude's gold-flecked chocolate. ..he wanted to see in his eyes how Rude felt. .. even if he couldn't articulate it as yet.
"I know," was the bald man's response as he leaned in and pressed a kiss to Reno's nose.
"I need to hear it sometimes.. .but now. ..I'm sure.. ..I'm so utterly sure of how you feel that I will never doubt it again." his eyes began to slide closed. ...he had every intention of enjoying this night before Rennan came back and they had to start into the family routine.
After a moment, Rude squirmed slightly, and once Reno had moved, he muttered, "Shower." Seems some things never change.
He ndoded. .."You got my hair?" he murmured. He was tired. ..but these little things meant so much, too.
An affirmative grunt left Rude's lips as he turned on the water.
Reno stepped into the shower, sighing in contentment as the warm water hit his skin. ..he handed back the shampoo bottle. ..and he suddenly realized something that made him tear up all over again. ..through all of it. .all of the madness. ..they'd still managed to stay together. ...
As Rude washed the goo off of his body, he noticed Reno's tears. He wanted to ask, 'why are you crying NOW?'... but didn't.
He seemed to read his mind. "Just.. .amazement... I'm so fucking amazed we made it through this whole damn year sane and intact."
"Speak for yourself," Rude teased, lathering up the shampoo in his hand and beginning on Reno's hair.
He gestured silently for a moment, another of Rude's habits he'd picked up. "I meant us. .. TOGETHER. ..we always found a way to come back to each other. ..despite it all."
Rude just chuckled, tilting Reno's head back to rinse out the soap. He took a brief moment to feel his own head, noting that he needed to shave it. He was getting head stubble.
Reno leaned in and kissed him hard enough to leave them both seeing stars.
When the shower was finished, Rude set about getting together his supplies to shave the stubble from his head. Since he'd realized it was there, it was bothering him immensely.
Reno had two more drinks ready, and Livewire's food bowl, the cat had stayed curled up on the balcony the entire time, surprisingly enough.
After 15 minutes, Rude had finished, and he was feeling quite attractive with his smooth head. He never did like the way he looked with hair, anyway... other than that mohawk when he was 10. THAT was awesome... but not very professional.
Reno handed him the rocks glass, and sipped his own. ..though Rude would note how his eyes had begun drooping. ..as he sat back down on the sofa his head leaning on Rude's shoulder, those eyes slid fully closed with a soft twitch of the slender form.
"Never could hold your alcohol," Rude said softly, gesturing for the cuahl to come over and finish the half empty glass Reno had left. He finished his own glass, then tried to figure out how to get Reno to the bed without waking him.
Livewire finished it with a soft mew, he knew how badly the emotional exhaustion had affected his master, and was just glad he was back where he belonged.
Rude tried, failed, then tried again to get out from under Reno without moving him. Finally, he managed to get himself up, Reno in his arms, and slowly was making his way towards the bed, trying not to stumble over imaginary holes and bumps in the carpet.
Reno as he was settled in the bed reached out for his aibou, though he never fully awakened. .. he wanted him there with him.
Rude flopped onto the bed, his arm dropping over Reno's body as a slight snore issued from him.
Reno when he finally awakened looked at the clock. ..it was almost 9:30. ..he sighed in contentment, not wanting to move even though Tifa would be over in two hours to drop Rennan off after his morning kindergarten session. So he got up. ..brewed a pot of coffee. .. .and made chocolate chip pancakes, eggs, bacon, the whole thing.
Rude's snore only got louder as he slept. Seemed even the smell of coffee was not powerful enough to overcome the deep sleep.
Reno decided to go in and wake him the best way. ..he slipped back into the room, slipped the blanket down and slid that warm, skilled mouth down over that morning wood softly and slowly.
Rude's dream suddenly took a turn for the better. He was still he partnered with a tiny yellow duck dressed like a mafia hitman, but said duck was suddenly doing rather nice things to his nether regions.
Reno licked him like a lollypop with a soft, enchanting moan. ... scraping just a tiny bit with his teeth. ..
Mmm... that duck had some nice teeth... Wait a second. Ducks didn't have teeth. Rude peeked an eye open and looked down.
Reno looked up at him with dancing eyes. ..chest bubbling with a tiny laugh as he deep throated him. These morning attacks were soon going to become a habit again.
That eye that had opened closed again as Rude groaned, his hips rising just a little as he felt that lovely mouth.
Reno nibbled his way up, then slid it back down, that motion nice and rythmic. .. .it just felt good for things to be some sort of NORMAL again.
Another groan from Rude, and another few hip raises as his fingers went to Reno's hair, holding the longer locks out of the way of Reno's mouth. He knew how terrible hair tasted.
Reno took him deep nto his throat now. ..those eyes sliding closed a bit at the fingers on his head. ..those touches left him tingling.
With a soft, almost muted moan, Rude felt himself climax, his seed spilling down Reno's throat. It was, quite frankly, a delightful way to wake up.
After swallowibng the seed and giving him a good morning kiss he said "Got coffee and breakfast, we got a while before Rennan comes home from school yet, figured you'd wanna take it slow, since the only duty either of us has until the boss is out is guard duty."
"Coffee," Rude muttered, getting out of bed and padding towards the kitchen, looking for his favourite part of the morning.
There, on the table was a wonderous spread. ..eggs, bacon, chocolate chip pancakes, and a pot of hazelnut coffee with two cups already poured.
"If I weren't already, I would marry you," Rude mumbled, going straight for the coffee.
Reno chuckled softly. ...chowing down.
Rude finished two helpings of breakfast and four of coffee. He got up from table, taking his and Reno's dishes to the sink. He paused as he walked by Reno, patting the man on the head and saying, "Good housewife," before continuing to the sink.
"I ain't no woman, yo. ..but I know what you like."
Rude just shook his head, going about clearing the table as well.
Reno caught a flash of red outside their window, and his eyes instantly narrow as his expression speaks volumes. "If that's who I think it is, he's gonna die."
Rude peeked out the window... to see a lady with a red hat on. He just rolled his eyes and went back to starting the dishes.
"Allright, so I'm fuckin' paranoid. ..his ass is still out there.." he settles. .finally just sitting to sip his coffee.
"From what I hear, Josh is still in the hospital," Rude added.
"Good, I'm fuckin' jumpy a little still.. " and he sighed. ..jumpier than he wanted to let on. ..the jumpiness despite the relative normalcy now would take time to fade.
"Can tell." Rude, finished putting the dishes into the dishwasher -- thank whatever muse was the inspiration for THAT device -- and headed towards the bedroom for some clothes.
Reno followed, finding a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. ..Tseng was pulling first shift with Rufus, understandably so. ..Tseng would call for one of them to relieve him when the time came.
Rude went for a pair of black windbreaker pants with an orange stripe down the side and a black wifebeater. He loved the way the pants felt, but hated the noise they made when he walked.
"Gym? I really need ta build the muscle tone back up"
Reno really knew how to get his motor running. A trip to the gym was JUST what Rude wanted before the child came by.
Reno strode out the apartment door with those hips swaying. ..Nothing, not even the slight permenant limp he'd gained after the plate, had done anything to get rid of it.
Rude jogged with Reno to the gym, happy as a clam when they opened the doors and stepped inside.
