-----------

Rude's eyes opened to the sound of an object hitting the floor, his eyes moved down to see his sunglasses at his feet. As he reached to pick them up another sound caught his attention.

He looked up from the floor to see Reno move; causing him to moan. He got up from his seat and rushed over to the bed, forgetting about his glasses as he looked over his partner.

He guessed his friend was fevering, the damp rag still resting on his head. Rude lifted the blanket to examine the rest of him. The bandages were still as white as they were when he used them, Rude was amazed at how pale Reno was, the bandages almost blended in with his skin.

Hearing another groan he looked back to find Reno's arms open and looked at him half lidded. "Hey.....partner." he said weakly, blinking with a look of confusion across his face. Rude knew he was in shock of seeing him without his sunglasses on, he smiled to his friend who's confusion was switched to a smile.

"How are you feeling?"

"I fe-el..." he felt some pain and stopped for minute. " Feel cold.....cold.." he finished in a whisper and shuddered. Rude looked down and saw why.

"I'm sorry." Rude said gently pulling the blankets up to Reno's shoulders, being mindful of his wounds.

"How's that?"

"Better."

Rude gave a small nod and still hated it, seeing Reno hurting so much and him not being able to stop it.

"Hey partner, I'm gonna put another pillow under you okay?" he said, his voice was calm and comforting. Reno looked at him and moved his gaze to the ceiling.

"Sure."

Rude slid his hand under Reno's head, his fingers look as if they held fire as Reno's hair slipped through his fingers. "Sorry if I hurt you." he said lifting him up slowly and getting another pillow.

He felt Reno's body tense a bit as he flipped the pillow Reno was laying on before, it was wet from the sweat of the fever and pain. Then he laid the other pillow down and told his friend he was going to put him back down.

Rude was easing Reno back down, feeling the heat that still came off his body. Reno's head was swimming, everything he saw was spinning until he was greeted by soft feather under his head.

"Thanks." he said as Rude put a fresh cloth on his head and and also placed one behind his neck. Reno quickly fell asleep and Rude watched him for a bit more before the door opened.

Marlene came in the door with her dad, Barrett followed her over and was about to say something but Rude stopped him.

"Please, he just fell asleep and if you want to talk...could we talk downstairs." he asked in a whispered voice, his glasses still lay on the ground and walked outside the door, the two people follow.

Rude shut the door and went downstairs, sitting at on a bar stool as Tifa set a drink down in front of him.

" How did you and Reno meet?"

He looked at Barrett who asked him, he sat with Marlene and Denzel playing on the floor but also listening to the adults conversation.

"We met when we were kids, he was 9 and I was 11....we both went to the same school and ended up meeting in a hallway. We just bumped into each other and just kept hanging out till we were in our early teens. He moved with his family when he was 13 and we both went on with our lives." he took another drink and Tifa took a sit next to him.

" I became a Turk when I was 18 and I got a new partner when I was 19, he was a 17 year old kid with Red hair. Knew who it was the second I saw him and was happy to see him again. Now we're almost always together and I hate seeing him like this. He woke up a few minutes ago but he fell back asleep...I hate knowing I can't do anything to help him."

Barrett stood up, Rude kind of expected him to throw him across the Bar but instead patted him on the shoulder. "Don't worry he'll be okay, he's made it this far."

Everyone was surprised by Barrett words to his former enemy, Rude nodded and smiled to the larger man.
