October was silent the whole car ride. It seemed that she couldn't even hear the conversation that Reni and Rude were having. Her mind was racing as she thought about what had just happened. Meeting the man that was her father was one of the good perks. The bad part was the awful feeling she had when Reno was holding her back. She didn't know what it was but she felt like a monster. Maybe she was a monster.

"Hey October, you okay?" Reno asked with worried eyes.

She broke out of her thinking trance and nodded slightly. That's all she did, then her eyes went out to the window once more. Reno was very worried at this point.
After another hour, they all finally arrived at Reno's apartment. October got out of the car and scanned the area.

"This is where you live~?" She asked curiously.

"Yeah, it might but be much but it's perfect for me yo." The red-head said with a smile as he led the way. Once inside, Reno went to his room. Kicking aside clothes and random trinkets, He found a towel then rushed to the bathroom.

"Keep an eye on her yo!"

"Yes sir." Rude said taking a seat on the couch. October did the same.

Her eyes looked all over the place. It was small, but full of everyday Reno things. Nothing like her room. Her room was spotless; like no one even lived in it. Her eyes went to the T.V when Rude turned it on.

"Why doesn't Reno…Have any pictures?"

Rude looked around. "Pictures?"

"Yes, pictures of…Family. Does he not have one?"

He let out a quiet laugh and took his sunglasses off. "Reno does have a family. Well, he did have one."

"Did? What happened?" October said her eyes saddening.

"Well…Reno didn't have a really great childhood. His dad was a raging alcoholic, which drove his mother to pieces. His dad ran off to god knows where and left Reno alone with his mother when he was around 5."

"That's horrible…"

"It is. Soon, When Reno was around 8 his mother left him as well. Just left, and never came back. He said a few months of fending on his own he was dragged into a small gang of orphans."

Rude turned the television off and leaned back in the couch as October leaned forward. She felt so bad for Reno. Hopefully when she talked to Vincent next, he would tell her of a happy childhood.

"Anyways, as time passed the Turks were told about this gang, and to stop them from terrorizing the slums in Midgar. Reno was about 18 when we found him, and he grew up to be the leader of the gang."

"That must be where he gets that…cocky attitude from."

"Hmm, I guess. But I think that's natural for him." Rude said as October giggled.
"Where was I…Oh, so to end his past story, Tseng and I were sent out to find the leader of this small gang. It was my first official mission, in my first month," Rude said proudly, "When we found them they had just stolen from a local market. The man said we couldn't miss them because the leader had hair as red as fire."

"You guys talking about me?"

Rude and October jumped and turned to Reno who was standing right behind them.

Rude cleared his throat. "I'll go shower next." He said standing up and going to the bathroom.

"He really never talks that much…" Reno said walking to his bedroom. October pouted and followed him into his messy room.

"Now I'm interested. Can you please tell me the rest?"

"I'd rather not." He said sitting on his bed.

She took notice that all he was wearing was pants and a towel on his head. Her cheeks turned a light shade of red.

"It's only fair…Haven't you looked through all the files of me?"

He smirked, defeated. "Fine you win." Sit down then."

She walked over to the bed and sat down next to him. Rather close, but she didn't really notice or care as much.

"So from Rude left off, we just stole our dinner for the night and hid in an abounded building. Long story short Tseng found us. Being the cocky leader I was I told my crew to run away."

"Did you know that they were looking for you?"

"Not at the time, why would they want an orphan anyways?" Reno replied lying down.
"So Tseng and I got in a fight and he just told me his boss had heard of me and said I would be a great addition to his Turks. Of course I didn't question it; it was my ticket to get off the streets. So I basically abandoned my crew and joined the Turks. The end."

October nodded and stayed quiet for a moment. Then she leaned over Reno and looked at his face. Of course she was oblivious at how her simple gesture made him feel. He was wondering what she was looking at, then her small index finger traced over the small red markings that were on his cheeks.

"Like them…?" He said taking in her gentle touch.

"I thought they were scars."

"They used to be, then when they finally started to fade away my dumb teenage self got them tattooed on."

October giggled and traced her finger on the second one. "They suit you…How did you first get them?"

"Gang initiation." He said pulling his face away some.

"I'm sorry I'm just curious."

"I don't like talking about my past much. You're lucky Rude told you most of it." Reno didn't mean to sound irritated, but his past always pained his heart when he thought about it.

October scooted away, her head down. "I- I'm sorry…"

Reno quickly sat up and got face to face with her. "I didn't mean too…"
Her pale face was so beautiful up close. Her crimson eyes seemed to glow. They were full of fresh tears. His natural male instincts were kicking in.

"Don't cry…"

Reno pulled her closer. She took in a small breath as his lips almost touched her own. She didn't know what she was feeling at the moment, but it felt good.
He hesitated a bit before he finally kissed her. She didn't know what he was doing at first so she jolted back and gasped for a bit of air.

"Reno…!"

She was cut off by the sudden impact and lust of his lips crashing down onto hers again. He pulled her closer. His head was screaming no, but his body didn't listen. He slowly kissed herm she soon got the idea and followed his motions. With her hand on his chest she clamed down and began to kiss him back.

He smiled a bit and then broke their kiss. He took notice to how cute she was blushing and pouting.

"Why did you stop?"

"Because…" He rested his forehead on hers. For the next few moments they sat quietly and stared into each others eyes.

Inside they were both feeling and thinking the same thing; that was the best first kiss ever, and it was sure to not be the last.
