I do not own Final Fantasy, nor any of its characters ( though I wish I did!)

Please send reviews this is my first fan fiction and Id appreciate it! :D

This is based on Reno and Rude's life if say, they weren't Turks, Rude is a military man while Reno works at a small restaurant as a waiter, but there still best friends…and lovers, contains some Yaoi if you don't like guy x guy don't read!

Also italicized is a flashback plain is present time.

Reno sighed in content at the feeling of Rude's arms encircling around him. Then Reno brushed against something cold, like metal. He looked down at Rude's leg and gasped at what he hadn't noticed before now. "R-Rude! Your leg!"

Rude had a defeated look on his face, "I know, its why I'm home early, its why I haven't been able to communicate with you."

"B-But what happened? Your legs prosthetic what happened?"

Rude only shrugged as the memories of the day that took his leg away. "You remember Jake right? He set off a mine…"

Rude stood in the sweltering heat wiping the sweet off his face not daring to take off his helmet. He glanced around at the other solders that we're here in the same brigade as him. His friend Jake waved him over, Rude nodded and happily obliged to coming over.

"Aint it delicious Rude Jake spoke sarcastically as he tossed a dehydrated meal to Kay.

"Oh there just delightful and delicious." Rude caught the bag with ease, rolling his eyes toward Jake who laughed at him. "I cant wait to go home Jake, I think the thought of Ren is the only thing that keeps me sane out here."

Jake nodded taking a bite out of some dehydrated brown food. "Same man, getting home to my wife and son, I can't wait."

Rude nodded as the Kernel called out that it was time to hike out. Rude put his stuff into his bag, lugging it on his back. Jake took a swig of his water as they stood up and as quietly as they could they began walking until the Kernel stopped them.

"Wait. Something isn't right. Jake and Rude stopped right next to the Kernel who was looking curiously at the ground. "I will check it out Kernel." He nodded and motioned for Rude to go with.

Jake walked forward quietly with Rude following gun in hand. They walked through a small village, Rude stopping just for a moment to glance around. "Jake wait up for a second."

"Rude its fine just c'mon." Jake took another step foreword and a loud explosion occurred throwing Rude off of his feet and into blackness.

Rude opened his eyes to see a few people hunched over him his ears roaring and an extreme pain in his left leg. Rude's vision blurred as he sunk back into darkness the voices around him fading away.

Rude awoke with a blinding white in his face, he blinked as his vision went to normal. He glanced around the room only to notice he was in a medical facility. An iv in his arm and a dull feeling in his left leg. Rude sat up looking around for some sign of person.

"Hello?" Rude looked around awaiting a reply but none came. Rude swung his legs over the bedside edge and as the sheets fell away Rude gasped in shock. Below his left knee there was nothing but a stub. Rude trembled trying to stay calm as everything rushed back, Jake, the mine. Rude laid back down as his breathing picked up sending the heart monitor into a frenzy. A nurse darted into the room.

"Your awake!" Rude stared his eyes wide and panic stricken. "Sir you need to stay calm!". She asked Rude to do the one thing he couldn't do.

"I-I…" Rude gulped trying to form the words before he once again plunged back into darkness.

Reno stared at his fiancé while he retold his story. "O-Oh my…Rude…" Reno was shocked and couldn't keep from staring at Rude's new limb.

Rude looked at Reno with slight hurt. "Its ok Ren we can get through this together, it will be ok you will see." Reno nodded with a forced smile. "Ya…"
