Cid grabbed a few of the candles and carried them upstairs to light the way then came back and helped the Turk stand.
"But Cid the house isn't on fire." Reno said when he realized Cid was leading him to the stairs.
Cid smiled, "Yea, but the upstairs bathroom has a bath tub."
The two took it easy up the stairs and when they finally reached the second floor Reno smiled. Tiny model airplanes hung from the ceiling, dotting the walkway like a busy sky way. There were three bedrooms and a bath upstairs. The first door on the right was obviously Cid's bedroom. In the dim light Reno could see laundry was thrown here and there, the bed was unmade, a desk held many more model airplanes and blueprints, the curtains were drawn tightly shut and a dusty picture sat beside Cid's bed on a rickety bedside table. It was exactly how he expected the gruff pilot's room to look.
However, the "tour" of the upstairs stopped because the bathroom was across from Cid's bedroom. Reno limped into the bathroom and smiled. It was an old fashioned bathroom with toilet that had a pull chain. The tub was an old claw foot tub and the sink had lights on either side of the mirror that sat above it. It was simply magnificent.
Cid closed the lid of the toilet and helped Reno sit down. He turned away and made busy with getting the bath drawn. Reno fought to get out of his clothes, but the dull ache made him not want to bend or stretch more than he had to. He pushed it aside and pulled off his remaining clothes. Cid turned back and immediately turned his head away.
"The bath is filling, but ya' should probably get in and make sure the water is where you want it."
Reno frowned that Cid had looked away, but he made a movement to stand. When his knee gave out half a step later, he felt strong hands wrap around him.
"Ya trying to crack yer skull open on top of the burn, ya fool? Here."
Cid helped Reno into the tub and Reno sighed contentedly at the relief.
"Too hot?"
"No. It's perfect Cid."
Cid tried to not look at the Turk as he pulled out towels for him, but the sight was intoxicating and the most sensual thing Cid had ever seen. The candles reflected off the water and made the man seem to glow.
"You know Cid. I can tell when you are looking at me."
Cid floundered for a moment, "Well, I jus-"
"Cid I don't mind."
Cid turned back just in time to see Reno slump slightly and start to slip into the water. The older pilot reached into the water and pulled Reno upright. Apparently, he needed to sit with his housemate to be sure he wouldn't drown. Just as suddenly as the man had passed out, Reno awoke.
"What?"
"Ya passed out. So I think I'm gunna sit in here and watch ya, so ya don't go drownin' in mah tub."
Cid pulled out two cigarettes and offered one to his housemate. Reno greedily accepted and lit it on the nearest candle. The two sucked on the cigarettes in silence for a moment or two before Reno broke the silence.
"Captain, when are you going to get clean?" he said, switching to the most familiar term for the man.
"We are both still greasy from working on the chopper earlier."
Cid frowned, "I guess I'm staying dirty until the power comes back on. That is prolly all that is left of the hot water that's in the tank, so until the power turns on and the water gets hot again I'm going to be gross."
"That's not exactly fair, Captain. You are just as dirty as me and it is your house. Maybe I should get out and-"
"Yer already in there, why would you get out?"
"Well, then why don't you come in?"
Cid froze, "What?"
"Well the tub is plenty big so you can fit in here with me. The water is still plenty warm and that way we will both be clean. Save water yo."
Cid sputtered for a moment and shook his head, "Yer hert."
"Not that hurt and I am not saying we'll sleep together. I am saying we'll share a bath."
"We don't know each other that well and you are hurt. Not now, I'm gunna watch you from the hallway."
Cid took a step towards the door and made the mistake of looking at Reno's face in the mirror. The man looked hurt, but he didn't notice his own reflection in the mirror to hide it.
"Am I really that horrible? Or are you just as hung up on Vincent as he is on Lucrecia?"
Suddenly, Reno felt lips roughly press against his own. An arm snaked around his shoulders, gently lifting him up and into the kiss, while a calloused hand got lost in his hair. Reno returned the kiss as deeply as he could, their tongues writhing together in the warm heat of each other's mouths. Reno's hand found Cid's cheek and rubbed the stubble there, he smiled into the other man's mouth. When they finally came up for air, Reno saw that Cid had stepped into the tub fully clothed. He was standing in the water looking down at Reno, his soaked jeans and wife beater clung to his body revealing a slight bulge beneath the zipper.
"It's not you or him. I just didn't want it to turn into sex tonight. Yer hert and I dun wanna stall yer healin' by not keepin' it in my pants."
Reno smiled and carefully pulled down the zipper that was face level.
"My mouth isn't hurt Cid."
Cid gasped as his straining erection came free from the wet jeans and equally wet boxers. Reno smiled at the man's reaction, it was nice to see he could still get that from someone. Another heated gasp met Reno's ears when he wrapped his mouth around Cid's throbbing member. The intense heat of Reno's mouth made Cid forget where he was. The older pilot let go of the man beneath him and grabbed the tub behind the redhead. Reno bobbed gently up and down, giving Cid a taste of his throat from time to time while he carefully pulled the jeans and boxers down enough to expose Cid's legs. He ran his hands up the older pilot's thighs and palmed the hard globes of Cid's ass. Cid let out a moan as Reno pulled his hips down and deeper into the blinding warmth of his mouth. The wet heat slid up and down his shaft and the tongue swirled in so many different directions Cid couldn't think about anything but the sensation.
Reno could tell that Cid was about to come at any moment. He could see it in the way the man got tense, he could tell by the throaty moans that echoed in the bathroom, and he could tell by the urgency of Cid's slightly moving hips. Reno smiled and pulled him to the hilt, his lips touching the short blonde curls that had hugged the base of Cid's cock.
"I...I'm gunna-"
The blonde pilot cried out, his seed spilling down Reno's throat. Reno swallowed with ease and pulled back to look up at the panting man above him.
"Sweet Jenova in the tank Reno, where the fuck did you learn to do that?"
Reno wiped his mouth and smiled, "Practice."
Cid looked down at the Turk and instantly Reno felt blood rush to his groin. He would do anything to keep that look in Cid's eyes.
He was the shiny new toy again.
