A True Mystery

It was a mystery to her.

It was a mystery to her as to why he constantly pulled pranks. Whether it was on her, Tseng, Rude, or even the President. He was creative, she'd give him that, and some of his little endeavours even made her laugh from time to time. But then maybe in their business, he had to find an escape. Maybe it was easier to act like a child.

It was a mystery to her as to how he was able to fight like he did. His moves were smooth and quick, almost graceful in their fluidity. If she didn't know that they were battling for survival, she would have assumed they were dancing.

It was a mystery to her as to why his eyes glowed so brightly. SOLDIER were the only ones she knew to possess such things, and yet Reno wasn't, and never had been a part of Shinra's military. They were captivating, maybe even beautiful, and yet they would sometimes glint with a darkness that could stir the most childlike of fears within her.

It was a mystery to her as to how he could drink and smoke in such quantity and yet still remain looking so youthful, so alive. His senses weren't even dulled; something she'd discovered when witnessing one of the many bar fights he managed to get himself in to.

It was a mystery to her as to how he was still alive with the way he drove. His car looked as if it had been owned by a blind, mentally-impaired, two year old. She wasn't even sure he had a license, in fact it wouldn't surprise her if he hadn't passed his test.

It was a mystery to her as to why he was allowed to get away with dressing the way he did. The Turk image was important. The shirts, the ties, the pristine, slick presentation of themselves served as an imposing force in its own right. So how he was able to be so casual, so easygoing and yet still retain his level of presence as a Turk was truly a subject of interest.

It was a mystery to her as to how he could act the way he did, towards anyone, and yet still have hold such a high position. Yes he was skilled, and got the job done one way or another, but there was something else, something innately charming about him which seemed to quell any disdain or offence held by the others; now that really was an ability to be proud of.

It was a mystery to her as to how he could be so respected. So known. He was an image, an idea. Someone to be feared, and yet to know him was something completely different.

It was a mystery as to why he flirted with so many of the secretaries, when his laugh, his smile seemed so different when with her, and Rude and Tseng.

He was a mystery to her.

And as luck would have it, she had always been a sucker for a mystery.


A/N= Ok, this one really IS a drabble...I don't really like it myself, but I had the idea and decided I would write it. I didn't actually mention their names...but I think you can guess who its about ^_^, the next one is kinda in the same style as this one in the sense that there is little dialogue...but it'll be from Reno's POV XD Hopefully it'll be up sometime tomorrow! Anyway hopefully this wasn't too terrible...
