Raine was surprised to see Reno standing in her doorway when she opened the door.
"I have something to tell you."
Raine blinked,
"Sure?"
"We're related! [1]"
"...We are?"
"No, now move aside and let me in."
Raine rolled her eyes and closed the door as Reno flopped onto the couch.
"How did you know where I live?" Raine asked.
"I'm a Turk. I know everything."
Reno spied a pair of black boots by the door and he chuckled,
"Ah, so you and blondie are having sex now, eh?"
Raine's face turned beet red,
"We're not! We've done nothing like that! He just sleeps over a lot these days."
"Things are kind of awkward at Seventh Heaven. It's hard to go back."
Raine stiffened when Cloud appeared from the bathroom and slung his arm around Raine's shoulder. He was wearing gray sweatpants and his bare torso and hair were still damp from his shower.
"You're not helping, Cloud."
Cloud simply bent down and pressed a quick kiss to Raine's lips.
Reno grimaced and covered his eyes.
"Ugh, Cloud's into pda? Disgusting."
Raine laughed and she shrugged Cloud's arm from her shoulder,
"Right? Who knew? Anyway, breakfast is ready. Come eat."
Reno liked the smell of whatever Raine had in the oven. He was glad to find out that it was a breakfast casserole with eggs, sausage, bacon, mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, and ham and cheese. Raine took out a bottle of spicy sauce from the cabinet and she set up three plates at the table. Cloud and Reno sat next to each other and Raine took the remaining seat.
"So the two of you are an item now." Reno said almost bitterly.
"She's my girlfriend." Cloud said simply.
"Did you see Tifa yesterday?" Raine asked.
Reno sighed and Raine made eye contact with Cloud. Cloud shifted awkwardly in his seat,
"I think she's just confused by her feelings. You're a decent guy, Reno."
"Funny, Raine said I was a decent guy, too, but she couldn't say a single positive thing about me."
"Sorry..." Raine mumbled.
Reno shrugged and wolfed down his breakfast before standing up and bringing his plate to the sink.
"Thanks for breakfast, Raine. See ya, Cloud."
Cloud nodded and Raine watched as Reno disappeared out the door.
"We should do something about this."
"Tifa can be quite stubborn. I don't think there's much you can do."
Raine smiled as an idea floated into her mind,
"Maybe there is."
