How to Remember
Author Note: Feh. This has gotten a decent amount of hits, I guess? I never know what a good amount is. But I have quite a few for only having 2 chapters up thus far, with the prologue type thing totally lacking in much content. But humm, I guess if you've gotten this far my writing must be decent. I don't know. I guess just read the damn thing.

Reno sat at his desk, feet propped up, head lolling uselessly on his shoulders as he stared up at the ceiling. Yes. For some gaia only knows reason Rufus had insisted upon giving the Turks each their own office again. Did Rufus want him to waste his time jacking off? That was the only sensible reason Reno could see for having his own office. He'd checked to see if is office was bugged but came up with nothing. Reno always thought the president was a closet pervert and didn't put it past the man to watch his Turks' every moves.
That wasn't high on Reno's list of worries though. But there was one question in particular that Reno had been entertaining ever since he left the blonde three weeks ago. Yes. Three weeks ago. Three long, grueling weeks for Reno. He really had hoped something would spark between the two yet again. Although Reno had no doubt in his mind that anything that may happen would be immensely different in so many ways. This small thought had sparked Reno's imagination onto a path of burning intensity.
Oh the things he could do with that blonde. Oh the things he'd already done with that blonde. Of course if Reno got the chance he'd do them all again, many, many times. Reno twirled a pen in his hand, wishing he had his list. His lips formed a pout at the thought of his precious list. It'd been gone from him long ago and it being gone didn't bother him so much as how it'd parted from him.
He preferred to refer to the list as gone rather than lost because he'd not lost it. He'd given it to Zack. Unfortunately, the next day said SOLDIER had gone off on the fateful mission to Nibelheim with a certain sexy blonde and an equally as sexy general. The four years following Zack and Cloud had gone MIA while Sephiroth was pronounced KIA.
This had given Reno great cause for distress but he had always assumed the two would pop up again somewhere, someday. After the four-year stint Cloud and Zack had indeed popped up again. Only for Reno to be informed that he had to go after them. They'd become test subjects for Hojo. Which only caused Reno to be even more frustrated. He wanted them back. He wanted to see both of them again but at the same time he didn't want to return them to Hojo's grip. After the Turks had chased the pair across the globe, only to find Zack dead and Cloud once again MIA.
After finding Zack dead Reno wanted to scream. He wanted to scream and throw a fit. Like a twelve year old. It was ridiculous. The motherfucking trigger happy MPs couldn't wait just 10 or even 15 more minutes for the Turks to show up and do the fucking job right. They had not received orders to kill, simply to retrieve the specimens. And as terrible as returning his two lovers to Hojo sounded, he certainly did not want either of them dead.
Reno sat in his chair silently fuming. Whenever he thought about what had happened to Zack he couldn't help but get pissed. Granted Reno and Zack's relationship had never really progressed into an 'I love you' sort of relationship that didn't mean that they hadn't meant something at all. The trio had become moreso attached fuck buddies over time than formal lovers. But no. The world likes to fuck up anything remotely good in Reno's life.
Needless to say Reno turned that certain group of ShinRa employees into a mass of broken bones.
Reno crossed his arms and his face turned into a small pout. How childish, he thought, pouting at the ceiling. Although he had no doubt in his mind that the ceiling was not at fault, he couldn't help himself.
Whatever, Reno tried to turn his mind toward something productive. Perhaps he could redo his list? But with the blonde not seeking any form of contact with the Turk, said list would be completely useless.
Reno could certainly dream though.
And dream he did. For two more agonizing weeks. At the end of the fifth week (no, Reno was not keeping track!) Cloud had finally grown some balls and called the Neo-ShinRa headquarters requesting that Reno meet him at the ruins of Midgar later that day.
So here Reno sat. Waiting for Cloud. Not that he minded. In fact Reno had come a bit earlier than requested. I'm a fucking idiot. Reno frowned at the ground from atop his makeshift perch of debris. There wasn't anything special about Cloud anyway. Except he was hot. Well, make that extremely hot. Why was he so eager to tell Cloud about everything anyway? It wasn't like any of it would bring Zack back. Was that what Reno wanted? Reno wanted Zack back?
Reno shook his head. He could see Strife flying through the wastelands on Fenrir. Now was not the time for thinking. Now was the time for drooling over Cloud and his bike.
Reno watched Cloud lustfully up until the point where Cloud took a seat to his left. And even that didn't exactly stop Reno from starring out of the corner of his eye.
"I want you to tell me more." Cloud's voice was quiet. As though he were uncertain and Reno caught onto this. He knew what Cloud wanted to know and knew that Cloud wasn't referring to sexual content. Cloud wanted to know about Zack. Wanted to know about what relationship the three had.
"I can't tell you."
At this Cloud's mouth formed a thin line, this obviously wasn't the answer he was expecting. "Then this is a waste of my time."
"I can tell you what happened when I was around. But I can't tell you anymore than that." At this Cloud was silent. Reno wasn't sure if this was his cue to continue on with a story or that the other just needed time to rearrange his thoughts. Reno waited for as long as he possibly could before he broke the silence. "What do you want to know?"
Cloud fidgeted where he sat, his gaze had been directed at the ground for nearly the entire time and this particular moment was no different. "What happened after what you told me before? Was that the first time?"
Reno nodded. It hadn't been the first time for he and Zack but it was the first any of them had done with the blonde. "Zack was a little upset at first. Said we shouldn't have involved you at all. He was always like that, worrying about other people. Saying you might regret it after the fact." Reno's mischievous grin appeared on his face once more. "I think you kinda get that I'm not exactly like him." Reno knew that had Zack heard him at that moment he'd have been reeling with laughter. Reno and Zack, although both carefree and friendly, were quite the polar opposites. But opposites attract, right? "Anyhow I told him I'd prove to him that you were okay with it."
"Oh?" Cloud was hanging onto Reno's every word, although he'd never admit it.
"That, is where the story begins." Reno had his trademark mischievous grin on his face and although this baffled Cloud, he had no doubt in his mind it would make for a great story.
Reno sat in his office contemplating. Nothing something Reno cared to do often, but he had something to prove to Zack. And Reno was never one to go back on his word, nor was he one to back down from a challenge.
Reno's imagination had a lot of free time due to his job. And having so much imagination built up, Reno decided to put it to good use. He wanted to make sure that Zack KNEW the blonde had no qualms about what had occurred the previous night. But at the same time Reno wanted to have fun with it. And fun Reno would have.
Reno had made it a point to retrieve Cloud himself. And he had not failed to notice the slight blush on the MPs face. Although Reno couldn't be sure if Cloud was blushing due to the Turk or simply flushed due to training. Reno would have liked to believe it was because he had shown up.
Reno could feel himself fidgeting as he waited in the elevator with the MP. He wanted nothing more than to grab the young man and take him there. But no, he'd have to wait. He had to have his proof for Zack. Even though he could always steal the tapes of the elevator from the security guards, he was determined to stick to his original plan. If he worked it right, it would be satisfying in more ways than one.
Cloud followed Reno silently until they reached his office. Thus far he had been extremely pliant. He had not questioned Reno once but upon their arrival Cloud had quickly changed. Perhaps Cloud already knew why Reno had brought him there?
Reno had barely entered and closed the office door before he found Cloud's sweat soaked body and clothes pressed up against his. Reno moaned into Cloud's mouth, placing his hands on the younger man's hips, slowly sliding his hands up his shirt. Cloud began to shiver slightly as the cold air made contact with his damp skin. This reaction from the blonde only served to excite Reno even more. The red head slid his hands up the front of Cloud's abdomen, feeling the slightly defined abs before moving further up his chest.
Cloud deepened his kiss with Reno with renewed vigor before taking a step back and removing the thin article of clothing covering his torso. But Reno didn't get much of a chance to admire the view before Cloud was pulling him closer by his hips. The Turk blazer soon hit the floor and was quickly joined by the white dress shirt. Reno's body immediately started reacting to the cold office air by shivering, but those shivers were quickly subdued by the heat emanating from Cloud's body.
Reno quickly began undoing the buckle on Cloud's belt. Once said belt was unclasped, Reno quickly made sure Cloud's pants followed suit. Reno took a deep breath before pushing Cloud back. He took that moment to reign in what little self control he'd managed to maintain and admired the blonde.
His body wasn't fully built, not like Zack's, but it wasn't scrawny either. His abs were lightly defined and his pectorals had gained shape. The penis pointers only served to entice the red head more. Cloud's pants were hanging loosely from his shape, exposing ample amounts of skin for Reno to admire.
Reno could resist no longer and pressed Cloud up against his desk. His right hand moving up to caress the blonde's nipple, left hand freeing the hardened erection from the confines of the MP's pants.
At the initial touch, Cloud immediately let his head fall back, soft moans escaping his lips as Reno continued to explore and caress.
"Reno." Cloud let out a throaty gasp, as his eyes fluttered open. "Lube." Reno recaptured the blonde's mouth with his own, leaning forward just far enough to reach into one of his drawers and retrieve the plastic bottle. Cloud had to grit his teeth as he did this as the smooth expanse of skin that was Reno's stomach rubbed against his erection. Reno began to coat the blonde's erection while Cloud fumbled with the red head's belt and pants. Forcing the pants down quickly, Reno's erection sprung out and Cloud grabbed the lubricant in order to coat it. Once it was thoroughly coated, Cloud spun as quickly as his pants allowed, took hold of Reno's hands and placed them on either side of the desk so that Reno's erection was pressed tightly against his ass. "Now." His voice was demanding and hoarse as though he'd had trouble keeping his throat wet.
Reno closed his eyes for the briefest of seconds in order to regain his balance. He felt as though he'd nearly pass out due to the concentration of blood in his erection and coinciding lack of blood to his brain. Reno pressed his tip against Cloud's entrance but quickly gasped as the blonde forced Reno deep inside of him.
So the blonde enjoyed pain as well, eh? Reno bit down harshly on the skin covering Cloud's shoulder blade, piercing the skin. This earned him a harsh gasp. Upon releasing his hold on the blonde's shoulder, Reno took a step back, pulling Cloud into a more bent position. His thrusts started slow but deep, quickly working into equally as deep but much faster thrusts. The blonde matched these thrusts and used his right hand to help himself. He soon found himself coating the Turk's desk with semen and felt Reno leaning heavily against him.
Reno ran his tongue against the bite mark on Cloud's shoulder, tasting blood and sweat. Cloud shivered as Reno pulled away, the cold quickly beginning to effect him once again. Both men had returned their pants to their proper places and Reno drug a hand through his hair, breathing deeply.
"You needed something?" Cloud grinned at Reno, knowing that both of them had forgotten why Reno had brought him here in the first place. Reno laughed shortly.
"Not anymore, I just wanted to make sure you were okay with what happened last night." Reno grinned at the blonde before tossing his shirt over to him. "From what happened I'd say there weren't any regrets." Cloud blushed briefly. Reno could tell that even though the blonde knew how to express himself physically he was still gaining ever needed social skills. "You're free to go, but don't be surprised should we bump into each other again." Reno winked, collapsing into his desk chair, Cloud nodded, a slight smile playing upon his lips before exiting the office and making his way to the elevator.
Reno leaned back in his chair, closing his eyes and simply relaxing. It was only a minute before he heard creaking above him, coming from the ceiling.
"Proof enough for ya, yo?" Reno hadn't bothered to move. He knew who it was.
"If that was what you wanted me to see, you didn't have to tell me to wait in the ventilation shaft." Zack landed on the carpeted floor with a muffled thud.
"Mmm. I wasn't sure how he'd react to open voyeurism." Reno stayed where he was, allowing his body to rest while Zack stretched out limbs that had begun to cramp up while in the air vents.
"Oh, he doesn't have a problem with it." Zack laughed when Reno's eyes shot open and he raised his eyebrows. "He looked straight at me." Another laugh escaped Zack's throat. "I thought about coming out but the show was just too good." Zack leaned over Reno, catching the Turk's mouth in his. "I was kinda jealous." Zack spoke between kisses before lifting Reno out of the chair with ease and pressing him against the nearest wall.
Before Reno could emit any kind of sound, Zack had undone his own pants and removed his ShinRa issued SOLDIER top. Reno dropped to his knees, wishing he'd never bothered to even redo his pants. Taking Zack's hardened member into his mouth, Reno deep throated it at first but then slid back, allowing it to fall out of his mouth. Reno leaned forward, nipping at the raven haired SOLDIER's thighs while undoing his own pants.
Zack found Reno's hand with his own and placed the bottle of lube into it before allowing this hand to grip into the mass of red hair. The SOLDIER's head dropped back in ecstasy as his other arm was pressed against the wall, holding his body upright, preventing him from falling over. Reno's mouth quickly found it's way back to the head of Zack's shaft and quickly enveloped the engorged organ once again.
Zack moaned out, his head falling against the wall, breath coming out in hard shudders as he came into Reno's mouth. The red head could feel himself bursting as well, his seed spilling all over the carpet.
Reno fell back against the wall, not even bothering to adjust his pants while Zack made himself comfortable in Reno's chair. The two stayed that way for a few minutes before Reno found the breath to speak.
"I think this is going to be the start of a wonderful thing, yo." The shit eating grin on Reno's face, as well as his description of their newfound arrangement with the ShinRa MP made Zack burst out in laughter.
Zack smiled softly before responding, "even moreso, he's a good kid."
Reno licked his lips, eyes falling closed. "Hell yeah, he's good, yo."
"Way to misconstrue everything to fit your perverted purposes." Zack's eyes fell closed as he leaned back further in the chair.
Reno sat up, at some point during his story he had laid back against the debris, legs still dangling over the edge. But now he wanted, no needed, to see Cloud's expression. Figure out what the blonde was thinking. Cloud's face looked thoughtful, but Reno couldn't quite make out whether he believed him or not.
"How do I know you aren't lying?" Cloud's sudden question startled Reno. Apparently the blonde hadn't been as zoned out as he appeared.
Reno smirked. Although thrown off guard, Reno knew exactly how to answer his question. Slowly, but steadily Reno leaned closer to the blonde. His breath brushed against Cloud's cheek, his right hand reaching across, brushing the left side of Cloud's pelvis softly. "Because you have a cluster of freckles here." Reno whispered into Cloud's ear, giving him goosebumps all along his arms. Reno could hear the blonde's breath catch in his throat. Reno wouldn't have any method of knowing Cloud had freckles unless everything the Turk had told him was true.
Cloud's cheeks became flushed and he was unsure of what to say. "I." Cloud's breathing was heavy and his entire body felt as though it were on fire due to the sudden proximity of Reno. "I have to go." Cloud jumped from the pile of debris, hopped on Fenrir and rode off.
Reno could do nothing but sit there and pout. Pout and hope Cloud would contact him soon. Even if nothing had come of it, yet (Reno couldn't help but throw that last word in), he enjoyed riling up the blonde swordsman. Unfortunately Cloud wasn't the only one to become 'riled up' by Reno's stories. Pouting, Reno left the Midgar ruins horny as ever.
Author Note: Yay? Nay? I would loooove to hear from you! Seriously! And I still want requests damnit! I know some of you people have to have some sort of random fantasy in your head about what you always thought Cloud and Zack or Cloud and Reno or even Reno and Zack would do back in the day. Sooo, share! I have quite a few ideas but I'd love to be given a few more. : So you should review, tell me what you think, if I'm doing a sufficient job do say so! Or if you think I'm doing terrible, please say so as well. I know I kinda have Cloud not acting as shy as a lot of people portray him, but in Crisis Core Cloud really isn't all that shy when he first meets Zack. The two become quick friends and Cloud seems to know what he wants! And I think I kinda make Zack seem a hell of a lot less innocent than he always appears but whadafck. It's hard to be a nympho and remain innocent, eh?
