Title: Be Mine
Summary: Cloud thought he was sharing a drink with Reno during a lonely Valentine's Day. Little did he know, he had begun a game of cat and mouse that slowly wound up to him missing pairs of his underwear...and dating Reno.
Warnings: Smut, swearing, alcohol, smoking, ...Reno.
Disclaimer: I own little.
After lying still for an hour, Cloud gave up on sleeping and stared at the ceiling, eyes slowly drifting shut during the night as his tired body fell asleep. Shifting, the blonde rolled onto his side, snuggling against the large, fluffy object beside him. Half asleep, the blonde opened his eyes, jerking at the sight of a large creature lying beside him and falling out of his bed. Bleary blue eyes peeked up from the other side of the bed at the creature, blinking slowly as he took in the sight of a large, stuffed chocobo holding a plush, red heart. Sitting down on his bed, the blonde examined plush animal before picking up a scrap of paper from the floor.
'It's got your eyes, yo.'
Looking at the blue-eyed, golden chocobo, the blonde wearily examined his entire room, blinking as everything seem to belie the fact that the Turk had been in his room. ...While he was sleeping. Unprotected. Making sure that everything was locked and firmly closed, the swordsman went into his bathroom, shower quickly before dressing in a pair of his leathers and heading downstairs, smiling slightly at the sight of Denzel and Marlene eating breakfast.
"Morning, Cloud!" the children said happily, smiling widely at him.
"Good morning," he said as he walked over and poured himself a mug of coffee, ignore the kiss that Tifa planted on his cheek.
"Sleep well?" the brunette woman asked as she smiled sweetly at him. The blonde nodded as he walked over and took a seat next to Denzel, ruffling the boy's hair as he took a sip of the black liquid. "So, any deliveries today?"
"Yeah; Junon and Nibelheim are today," Cloud said as he yawned. "I might not make it back tonight."
"Oh," Tifa said, looking a bit disheartened. "I'll pack you a big lunch and dinner to take with you, then!"
"Okay," he said with a shrug, drinking more of his hot coffee as Denzel and Marlene ate. Blue eyes looked over as the door swung open.
"We're closed!" Tifa snapped, glaring when Reno came sauntering in. "Get out or I'll throw you out!"
"In yer nightie an' all, Big Tits?" the redhead said with a grin. "I ain't here for you, anyway. Hey, Chocobo-Head. Did ya have a good night?"
"...Kids, take your food upstairs, please," Cloud said, patting each one of the children on their heads as they nodded and ran upstairs with their plates of breakfast.
"You, too, Big Tits," Reno said with a grin. "Run on, now. The big boys need ta have a chat." Grinning when the busty woman flipped him off before heading upstairs, the lanky Turk sat down across from Cloud in the booth. "Like the plushie, yo?"
"...How did you get into my room?" Cloud asked, ignoring the question.
Reno grinned as he leaned back, setting his boots onto Cloud's lap, "Think the real question is: why do ya look so cute when yer sleepin', yo?"
"Stay out of my room."
"Make me!"
"...I can easily snap you like a pretzel."
"Maybe," the Turk said as he smirked seductively, reaching over the table to run his fingers through the blonde's thick hair. "But you and I both know you don't want to do that, yo. So...where are you going today?"
"Out," Cloud said as he slapped Reno's hands away from his hair.
"Duh, where?"
"...Why?"
"It's easier to follow ya if you let me know where you'll generally be," the Turk said as he smirked.
"...Kalm."
Snorting, the Turk winked at Cloud. "Fine, don't tell me. Just means I got to ignore Tseng for a while."
"...Huh?"
"See you on the road, Chocobo-Head. Hey, how did you like the bird, anyway?"
"Bird?"
"God, you're one thick cookie, yo," Reno said as he stood up, leaning over and slipping his hand into the blonde's pocket as he murmured in his ear. "Hopin' more than that is thick on ya, yo."
Cloud could not help but blush darkly at the comment as he pushed the snickering Turk away from him, watching as the redhead walked out of the Seventh Heaven. Pulling out the note, his blush grew even darker.
'You have the cutest smile, yo.'
"Are you okay, Cloud?" Tifa asked, suddenly by his side. The blonde nodded as he jerked, cramming the small note back into his pocket.
"Yeah...just fine."
"You're bright red. ...Maybe you should stay home today?"
"...Maybe."
Drinking down the last of his coffee, the blonde warrior walked up to his room before picking out a set of clothes, making sure everything was locked before opening the door to his bathroom and freezing. A note was taped to the mirror.
'Bet you look good naked.'
Snarling in embarrassment, the blonde tore down the note, deciding to make sure that his room was free from the perverted Turk before even daring to take a shower.
