AN: hey, everyone was doing a collection of drabbles so I thought... why not? XDXD
xXx
"Hey, share those, ya idiot."
"Ask nicely."
"No, I won't, yo. I made those so I deserve some."
Cloud pouted, giving his boyfriend a sad expression. "You don't me to go all sad and depressed because of some popcorn, do you?"
"I took ya out of depression once; I can get ya out of there a second time, yo. Now gimme those." Reno said, extending his hand and still with his eyes glued to TV's screen.
"What if I start locking my room's window?"
"… Fine, keep them. I'm not hungry anyway."
The blond man chuckled softly, adjusting the redhead on his lap. "I was only joking." He said softly, placing a tender kiss on Reno's jaw line. "So, which movie we're going to watch tonight?"
Reno grinned, relaxing further into his lover's chest. "A small quick comedy, yo. I just don't wanna get caught by Boobzilla and those two little runts."
"I've told you, they'll be spending the night on Yuffie's. We're home alone." Cloud sighed with a hint of impatience. "And what's with that fear of Tifa? I already told you that I don't care about what the other think. If they're our friends, they'll accept us, or at least, try to. And if they don't, well, screw them. If they can't accept what we are, they were never really our friends in the first place." The warrior sighed, cocking his head to the side.
Reno laughed bitterly. "Wanna know a secret? Tseng's a homophobe. There was this new Turk who was gay and wasn't afraid of admitting it or even flirting with another guys. Ya know what happened to him in the first mission he had after Tseng found out? He died, yo. The boy was shot, right between the eyes."
"You think Tseng killed the poor guy?" The blond asked in disbelief.
"If I think? I'm fucking sure, yo!" Reno sighed, running his arms around Cloud's neck. "The kid was pretty good at fighting, he wouldn't fall that easily if someone he considered on his side hadn't betray him. Now, putting aside Tseng, Tifa will have ma balls if she gets to know about us. Everybody knows that she always had the hots for ya." He stated as if it was the most obvious thing in world.
"…She what? Why she never told me? I could be with her right now instead of being with you, because you know, she has a be--!"
Reno shoved the man away, the hairs on his nape rising angrily like if he was a cat. "Then go, YO! See if I care, stupid moth--!"
The redhead ended his rants at the feeling of Cloud's soft lips on his own. "Silly goose, I won't go to Tifa! I 'prefer balls to boobs', like you said in that one night…" The blond said slowly with a smug grin, pulling the other man close.
Reno smirked, running his arms around Cloud's neck again. "Just that, yo?" He asked softly, wanting to hear what Cloud had told him on that one night...
"Oh God, don't make me say it. I'm not good at these things." The blond whined, hiding his blushing face on Reno's neck. He had been drunk when he let that slip his lips!
The redhead grinned widely. "Nuh uh, I want to hear it. From your mouth, yo. Come on, on ma ear so that nobody else can hear ya admitting it." He whispered as he approached his ear to Cloud's face and felt his lover's soft lips brushing it.
The blond smiled. "I won't go to Tifa because I love you. Not her." He said softly, sending shivers up the redhead's spine. "There, I said it." He sighed loudly, hiding his face on Reno's neck again.
"See? It wasn't that hard, yo." Reno smiled, placing small, butterfly kisses on the blonde's full lips before deepening the ki--
"LET GO CLOUD, YOU MURDERER!"
Reno and Cloud yelped in surprise as two small figures jumped on top of the redhead's back, pulling his hair and hitting him. "What the fuck?!" Reno yelped again, feeling blows being delivered on every part of his body.
"Denzel, Marlene, stop it!" The Turk heard Cloud yell.
"Why should we, he was attacking you!" Denzel yelled back, waving a threatening finger towards the redhead. "We know what he did to Sector 7; imagine what he can do to you!" he snarled, beating the poor older man with his small fist.
"Stop, stop, stop!" Cloud yelled over the fighting noises. "STOP!" He screamed; his voice strong against the windows and ears of the two children. "I appreciate your concern but I can take care of myself, thank you!" The blond said as the kids bowed their head in annoyance. "And you can't just run off hitting who you please, look at the state you left Reno!" Cloud exclaimed in anger, watching Reno try to stop the bleeding on his lip, place were Marlene's purse had hit him with a pretty good strength.
"It's okay, yo."The redhead said straight away, waving his free hand. "Ya can't blame the kids, really." He said, smiling a bit as he got up from Cloud's lap. "I think I should be going…" Reno muttered lowly, pressing his sleeve against his lip and turning to leave.
Cloud shook his head and pulled Reno back to the couch. "Nope, you're staying. You two, sit here." He ordered to the children, pointing to his other side.
Denzel and Marlene accomplished, sitting rather gingerly beside the blond. "This is the part where you'll ground us and give us a full report about our actions, isn't it?" The boy asked lowly, looking up after the last word.
The ex-SOLDIER shook his head, feeling the corners of his mouth turn upwards slightly. "No, it's not. Of course than I'm not saying that what you did was right but you were just trying to protect me from nothing." The blond rolled his eyes, looking down again. "Reno is not an enemy, not anymore." He reassured, placing a hand behind his back and squeezing the redhead's nearest hand. "Reno's my boyfriend." Cloud said in a low voice, trying to know if he had done the right thing.
The kids were silent for a moment. "Like Vinie and Yuffie are?"
"Yeah, like Vincent and Yuffie are."
Marlene and Denzel nodded, the girl getting up and putting her face only inches away from Reno's in a threatening way. "Do you love Cloud?" She asked, never blinking and probably expecting for Reno to do the same.
The redhead stared a hole through the girl's head. "Of course, yo." He answered truthfully. "Ya think I would be holding his hand through all of this if I didn't love him? Someone else who didn't would have already ran away."
"I want to hear those three little words." Marlene demanded, waving three fingers in front of Reno's nose and ignoring Cloud's small whines, begging her to stop before he died of embarrassment. "And you better be convincing!"
"I love Cloud, yo." Reno replied softly before pausing and counting the words by his fingers.
Marlene nodded and suddenly smiled brightly, standing straight and giving a thumb up towards the kitchen. "See? I told you there was something going on!" She grinned to the darkness, making Cloud and Reno's heads a completely mess.
Tifa came out of the dark division, followed by most of the other AVALANCHE members and Turks. "You were right." She smiled, giggling at the shock and fear evident on the lovers' faces. "You know, there was this rumour that Marlene and Denzel heard from one of our regulars that you two got together… They just decided to check it out." She explained. "They told me and of course, I became curious too so we set this… Friendly trap to catch you both."
"Tifa pwns you all!" Yuffie giggled, bouncing on her toes and giggling harder as she caught a glimpse of Cloud and Reno's hands.
The redhead got a little closer to Cloud's back, trying to shield his body from Tifa's strong hands. He loved his Mr. Happy; he would hate to see it separated from his body!! "You planned all of that so that ya could have your confirmation and then have a reason to beat me up to death in some random and dark street, didn't ya? You're the devil, yo." He muttered.
Tifa laughed heartily before walking towards the gay couple and hug them. "I'm happy for you two, I really am." She said softly, kissing each guys' cheek before backing away towards Rude. "And so that you know, I don't have the hots for Cloud, at least not anymore. I'm with Rude now." The woman grinned, running her arms around the bald man's neck.
Reno felt his jaw fall to the ground. "YA MAN-WHORE, YA NEVER TOLD ME YA HAD FINALLY GOT INTO TIFA'S PANTIES, YOOOO!" The man yelled in indignation. How could his best-friend hide something that big from him?! ARGH, if the man still had hair, he would put acid on his shampoo!!
Cloud punched his lover's ribs, covering Marlene and Denzel's ears with his free arm. "Watch your mouth, there are children in here!" He hissed, petting the boy's head.
"Please, like if they know the meaning of man-whore, yo!"
"They may not know now but I don't want them to hear it and then understand it way too soon than when they should!"
"Like if they don't hear worse things in the bar every day!"
"Shut up!" Cid yelled, his cigarette moving around wildly. "Ya idiots look like a goddamn married couple already!"
Cloud and Reno blushed lightly, sighing in defeat. They had to admit that they indeed looked like a married couple. As they looked at each other, the sigh turned into chuckle and then into pure laughter. Ignorance was bliss for their friends.
Little the others knew that they were indeed married and not only by a few weeks.
