AN: hey, everyone was doing a collection of drabbles so I thought... why not? XDXD

"Come on, Reno. You'll have to do that paperwork someday."

Reno scratched his belly lazily, sucking at his lollypop suggestively. "I'm on my coffee break so fuck off, yo."

"You've been in your coffee break for more than half an hour!"

The redhead yawned and ignored Elena, picking up the TV remote and zipping until he stopped to watch some cartoons.

"Are you even listening to me?!"

"Elena, goddamn it, leave me alone, will ya?!" Reno snapped, turning to look at the young woman.

"--interrupt this program to report that 20 minutes ago, a horrible accident took place in the outskirts of Edge, involving two small vehicles, a truck and two motorcycles. We have the confirmation that the passengers of the vehicles and one of the motorcycles were fatally injured and didn't make it before reaching the near--"

Reno stopped hearing the pivot in the moment they showed the accident scene. There was no way he wouldn't recognize one of the motorcycles, even when it was broken in a thousand pieces. "…Cloud." He said shakily, getting up and running out of the office, ignoring Elena's cries.

Reno sighed weakly, drinking his water with sugar so that he wouldn't nearly pass out for the second time in that busy morning. He had seen Cloud's heart stop and start to beat again twice in an hour, it wasn't easy. Imagine yourself watching your lover die and come back to life two times in a small period of time. Eh, hard, isn't it?

Reno wasn't sure what was worse: watching his boyfriend let his life slip between his fingers to grab it again right in the last moment or being there, unable to do something, just surveying his lover's sleeping form and praying that he wouldn't take long to wake up from his coma, even if he knew that he'll scream his brains out for missing an arm...

…His fighting arm.

The one that he would use to save his ass.

The one that would wrap itself around the redhead's waist, bringing their bodies together.

The one that would wrap around the Turk's shoulders, bringing him to his chest and would make soothing moves on his back until he would stop crying and calm down.

The one...

Reno shook his head and rested his chin on the place where Cloud's right arm should be. He started remembering the day when he had got hurt pretty bad. Cloud had stayed beside him until he got better. He never left for more than 15 minutes; he slept there, right beside him, squeezing his hand gently when his injuries would hurt too much due to the lack of analgesics running on his veins.

Now it was time for the redhead to turn the favour. He would be there, right beside Cloud, squeezing his now only hand gently until the moment he would flute his eyes open and give him one of his rare but beautiful smiles.

Reno would wait.

...Even if he had to wait forever.
