Reno keeps his hand on Cloud's shoulder as Cloud leads them off

Cloud Strife says, "Finally.. some time for just you and me.... all this stuff is so confusing"

Cloud Strife leads Reno to the guestroom he was deposited in when he first arrived and makes sure it’s unoccupied

Reno says, "hmm, where are we?"

Cloud Strife says, "Well... the room I used in the palace"

Reno says, "ah"

Cloud Strife leads Reno to the pile of cushions that served him as a bed while he was here

Reno touches them

Reno says, "what's this?"

Cloud Strife says, "Sit Reno"

Reno sits down

Cloud Strife says, "I slept here... its quite comfy"

Reno says, "hmm, nice"

Cloud Strife sits down beside Reno

Reno says, "colorful or drab?"

Cloud Strife says, "quite colorful"

Reno sighs softly

Reno says, "I wish I could see"

Cloud Strife says, "some are the color of your hair.... some the sky... others yellow of the sun"

Reno takes off his shades, his empty eye sockets look rather strange in this place. smiles

Reno says, "thanks"

Cloud Strife says, "I thought references might help"

Cloud Strife strokes his fingers along Reno's face

Reno says, "they do allot"

Cloud Strife says, "You are beautiful Reno... even though... What color were your eyes?"

Reno says, "they were blue"

Cloud Strife says, "Bet they were amazing"

Reno says, "even though my eyes got cut out by some soldiers ... yeah"

Cloud Strife says, "But what do looks matter Reno?"

Reno says, "none at all as far as I care"

Cloud Strife says, "Good... may I... show you how I feel Reno?"

Reno says, "yes"

Cloud Strife kisses him

Reno kisses back

Cloud Strife says, "I do love you Reno.... I do.. as much as I can.. being a broken child...."

Reno says, "well, at least someone loves me"

Cloud Strife says, "Are you happy with me Reno?"

Reno says, "yes. you make me happy. you love me even though I am blind"

Cloud Strife says, "Because it doesn’t matter... you reached out when I needed someone...... "

Reno says, "I still remember how you figured out I was blind"

Cloud Strife says, "You were kind to me....."

Reno smiles

Reno says, "I wanted to be kind to you"

Cloud Strife says, "Whatcha think when I found you were blind?"

Reno says, "well, I remember you saying it was dark, and sarcastically you said genius, dark against dark. cause I had on my sunglasses. then I joked and said it's dark? well, I've heard people say that"

Cloud Strife says, "Ah... well my mom always said I was smart. She didn’t want me to be a soldier at all....."

Reno says, "what did you think when you realized I was blind?"

Cloud Strife says, "I thought it was kinda sad that someone as nice looking as you couldn’t see the world......"

Reno says, "yeah. I was just leaning on the wall. did you have any idea before that ... that I couldn't see? I mean, I did keep a gun pressed to your back"

Cloud Strife says, "Nope... you were moving pretty well"

Reno smiles

Reno says, "yeah, I've been blind for 10 years after all"

Cloud Strife says, "So it doesn’t bother you anymore?"

Reno says, "not really. I mean, it's been a while since I tried to kill myself and stuff"

Cloud Strife says, "Well don’t do that anymore Reno.. you have me now"

Reno says, "yeah and make sure you eat too. if you kill yourself kid, I'm going to hell with you ...."

Cloud Strife says, "I've been eating. as best I can"

Reno says, "good"

Cloud Strife says, "Zack made it so it doesn’t hurt as much when I eat"

Reno says, "where did he go anyway? He spoke of destroying the one he had loved ...."

Cloud Strife says, "I guess he went after Sephiroth"

Reno says, "I didn't get why he wanted to destroy him"

Cloud Strife says, "Sephiroth... is evil from what I got"

Reno says, "how evil?"

Cloud Strife says, "Sounds pretty bad from what Zack says"

Reno says, "wow"

Cloud Strife says, "I don’t get a lot of what he says though"

Reno says, "what did he say?"

Cloud Strife says, "all about angels and stuff"

Reno says, "sounds strange. never really believed in Angels and shit, but... well...."

Cloud Strife says, "Zack came back... its enough for me to believe"

Reno says, "yeah. you killed him, right?"

Cloud Strife says, "I know he was dead"

Reno says, "yeah"

Cloud Strife says, "I watched them bury him... I was bound and gagged"

Reno says, "well, if Zack's an Angel .. what's Sephiroth?"

Reno rubs his temples, then rubs a little bit around his eye sockets

Cloud Strife says, "the devil?"

Reno says, "devil?"

Cloud Strife says, "Well he's a fallen angel right?"

Reno says, "I guess"

Cloud Strife says, "Hmm...."

Reno says, "do you know how he fell?"

Cloud Strife says, "No clue"

Reno sighs and reaches a hand out for him

Cloud Strife takes Reno's hand and kisses it

Reno smiles

Reno says, "you are so very sweet"

Cloud Strife says, "You think so? I’m actually a really crass asshole..."

Reno says, "heh, not with me"

Cloud Strife says, "You like me sweet?"

Reno says, "I suppose .. I like you any way"

Cloud Strife says, "I tried so hard to be romantic with Sephiroth... guess he just didn’t like me... but you.... I want to be more than just romantic"

Reno says, "what do you want to be"

Cloud Strife says, "I want to be a passionate Romeo here....."

Reno says, "then be what you want"

Cloud Strife says, "Cuz I know you actually want my company"

Reno says, "yes, I love your company"

Cloud Strife reaches over and begins to unbutton Reno’s blazer

Cloud Strife says, "Tell me if I’m going to fast"

Reno says, "it's just fine"

Reno smiles

Cloud Strife eases Reno’s blazer off... then removes his shirt

Reno says, "be gentle with me though"

Cloud Strife says, "I will.. although what I want to do might hurt a little"

Reno says, "hmm, well, ... a little pain is ok"

Cloud Strife kisses along Reno’s chest

Cloud Strife says, "I will be gentle ..."

Reno reaches his hands up and strokes Cloud's hair

Cloud Strife pulls Reno close... and continues to kiss...

Reno wraps his arms around him

Reno says, "mmm, that feels good"

Cloud Strife squirms out of his own shirt... and tosses it aside. takes Reno's hands and places them on his chest

Reno strokes Cloud's chest

Reno says, "hmm, you are still bony"

Cloud Strife says, "Oh?"

Reno says, "yeah"

Cloud Strife says, "I guess you can’t really tell when I’m dressed"

Reno says, "but, better then it was"

Cloud Strife says, "You wouldn’t eat either?"

Reno says, "yeah ... if you kill yourself, I'm coming to hell after Yah"

Cloud Strife says, "you might have to force feed me... I just cant eat.. It’s weird. sometimes I can.. others its like there is a rock in my stomach... and putting anything in it makes me violently ill"

Reno says, "I thought Zack cured you"

Cloud Strife says, "It doesn’t hurt... just makes me sick now. I can usually keep it down...."

Reno says, "I hope so"

Cloud Strife says, "Reno Reno... don’t worry too much about me"

Reno draws Cloud down and kisses him gently

Cloud Strife undoes Reno's pants...and caresses around his waistline

Reno says, "mmm, that feel good. what are you going to do my sweet?"

Reno strokes Cloud's chest fondly

Cloud Strife says, "You'll see.. and I hope enjoy"

Reno says, "see, heh heh. feel you mean"

Cloud Strife takes a small vial out of his pocket and sets it in the folds of one of the pillows

Cloud Strife says, "I’m sorry... it’s just that I use that all the time.."

Reno says, "it's ok. I understand"

Cloud Strife works Reno's pants down and off... followed by his boxers

Reno says, "hey, I'm naked! heh heh"

Reno kisses Cloud gently

Cloud Strife says, "Yeah.. you are. here... so you don’t feel bad"

Reno says, "what about you?"

Cloud Strife removes his own clothing. presses against Reno gently

Cloud Strife says, "That better?"

Reno says, "mmm hey .. wow, never thought I'd be enjoying a naked man pressed to me"

Cloud Strife takes the vial off of the pillow and pours some of its contents onto his hand. gently begins to rub it onto Reno’s groin and abdomen.....

Reno says, "mmmm, what's that stuff? it feels nice, but I think it's mostly from your hands"

Cloud Strife says, "Its oil... with something in it... not sure... but it warms up when you rub it. See?"

Cloud Strife caresses and rubs Reno's groin

Cloud Strife says, "Errr.... feel?"

Reno says, "ohhh, that feels VERYYYY goooodddd"

Cloud Strife says, "It’s supposed to... wanna do the same for me?"

Cloud Strife presses the vial into Reno's hand

Reno says, "sure"

Reno pours some of it into his other hand. moves his hand down and starts to rub it on Cloud's groin

Reno says, "hmm, you feel nice"

Cloud Strife says, "Mmmmmm... so do you......."

Reno says, "what now?"

Cloud Strife says, "Now... "

Cloud Strife pushes Reno down into the pillows and cushions

Reno says, "hmm, interesting. I'm being pushed around"

Cloud Strife says, "Now... like I said this might hurt a little... do you want me to do it?"

Reno says, "go ahead. I've been in awful pain. note my eye sockets"

Cloud Strife says, "Shh... this isn’t that kind of pain... "

Reno says, "good"

Cloud Strife slides in close to Reno and begins kissing along his body

Reno says, "mmm, I love the kissing"

Cloud Strife continues to move lower... and licks gently at Reno's bellybutton

Reno tenses

Reno says, "mmm, wow. hold a second, you said I'd feel pain?"

Cloud Strife says, "You will... lemme work up to it"

Cloud Strife continues to kiss Reno... then sits up

Reno smiles warmly

Cloud Strife says, "alright...."

Cloud Strife takes Reno’s legs and wraps them around his waist.. tipping his hips upward slightly

Reno licks his lips, holding Cloud with his legs

Cloud Strife presses himself into Reno ever so gently.... not wanting to do anything like Sephiroth did to himself.....

Reno starts to breathe heavily

Reno says, "mmmm, wow ...."

Cloud Strife thrusts slowly and gently... stroking Reno at the same time so he will get enhanced feelings

Reno moans in great pleasure

Reno says, "ohhhhhh ... wow ... Cloud ... mmmm"

Cloud Strife continues being gentle... but finishes off with a burst of pure passion

Reno says, "OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

Reno grips the pillows

Cloud Strife pants and slides himself out... then settles down beside Reno

Reno curls up around Cloud and sighs in delight

Reno says, "that felt really .. really .. good ...."

Cloud Strife says, "did it hurt at all?"

Reno says, "no"

Reno kisses his side

Cloud Strife says, "Mmm... good... I didn’t want to bring you any sort of pain"

Reno says, "what happened your first time?"

Cloud Strife says, "Well it was with Sephiroth... It all went so fast....."

Reno says, "tell me"

Cloud Strife says, "Well... I was obsessed with him... quite badly. he was my idol.... I wanted him so badly. I was a little drunk.... so I talked to him in the bar... he took me home.... and we... He pulled me onto the couch with him.... and stripped me... he was so skilled... and I was quite addled"

Reno says, "how fast?"

Cloud Strife says, "Quite... I mean it was hardly 5 minutes... I would say"

Reno says, "5 minutes?"

Cloud Strife says, "One night stand quickness Reno....."

Reno says, "yes, I know that well ... I mean, I did that with women allot when I could see. how did it feel?"

Cloud Strife says, "Nobody's wanted you since then?"

Reno says, "not really... until you"

Cloud Strife says, "Aww... I love you Reno... you know that..."

Reno says, "yes, I know. I love you too. so, how did he feel that night?"

Cloud Strife says, "Good.. I will admit that, but it hurt......"

Reno says, "how much and why?"

Cloud Strife says, "It almost always hurt when he...."

Reno says, "tell me about it please"

Cloud Strife says, "He never took his time to be gentle... never used lubrication......"

Reno says, "never?"

Cloud Strife says, "Always seemed to be doing business instead of making love......"

Reno says, "well, he probably was doing business"

Cloud Strife says, "yeah....."

Reno says, "how did he do business any way?"

Cloud Strife says, "efficiently"

Reno says, "hmmm"

Cloud Strife says, "I love you blindly Reno.. and no... that’s not a blind joke"

Reno says, "ever had anyone be gentle?"

Reno grins

Cloud Strife says, "No Reno... never gentle....."

Reno says, "I can make jokes out of it though. aww, I want to be "

Cloud Strife says, "That’s why I want to be gentle with you... to give you what I always wanted but never got...."

Reno says, "can I give you what you want .... love?"

Cloud Strife says, "If you wish. I don’t want you to do anything you'd be uncomfortable"

Reno says, "teach me then"

Cloud Strife says, "Just be gentle Reno"

Reno says, "show me what you want and I shall do it"

Cloud Strife strokes his fingers along Reno's chest

Reno strokes his fingers around Cloud's chest. lays his head on Cloud's chest

Cloud Strife says, "Do what you think is right Reno.. I'll love it all if it’s from you.. and gentle"

Reno kisses his chest softly

Reno says, "I'll be gentle. you were with me"

Cloud Strife says, "Good my love"

Reno snuggles up against Cloud

Cloud Strife says, "I won’t ever let anyone hurt you again Reno... my solemn swear"

Reno says, "and I will swear the same for you. I don't want you hurt"

Cloud Strife says, "Mmmm.... you smell so nice... and are so warm....."

Cloud Strife wraps his arms around Reno

Reno says, "You are so warm too"

Reno snuggles some more into Cloud

Reno says, "I love the way you hold me"

Cloud Strife says, "bliss. something Sephiroth never let me have.... peace"

Reno says, "why not?"

Cloud Strife says, "I killed the man he loved....."

Reno says, "but, before that...."

Cloud Strife says, "oh well... he wasn’t gentle... and he never said he loved me back"

Reno says, "and you didn't know?"

Cloud Strife says, "I figured it... but I denied...."

Reno says, "you didn't know he was in love with another...."

Cloud Strife says, "I knew.. I didn’t know whom... but.. but... he didn’t come to dinner with me anymore....."

Reno says, "is that how you knew another had him?"

Cloud Strife says, "He didn’t.... didn’t... want to talk to me... or have secret rendezvous. He wouldn’t let me kiss him anymore... it hurt... hurt so bad......."

Reno says, "why?"

Cloud Strife says, "Because.... what I wanted didn’t ever want me. one night... I managed to get off from my shift... so I went to visit him. He wasn’t home.... but I found someone else's things at his place"

Reno says, "oh"

Cloud Strife says, "I went on a walk... and found them... they didn’t see me.... found them snuggled in each other's arms.. watching the stars... talking.... he was laughing.... happy.... smiling... he never was that with me"

Reno says, "what happened?"

Cloud Strife says, "I... I got depressed and started skipping my shifts... drinking heavily"

Reno says, "oh"

Cloud Strife says, "That’s... when Zack.... when I..."

Cloud Strife sniffles

Reno says, "tell me .. let it all out"

Cloud Strife says, "We... were arguing... about the rain... and stuff... then... then.... I said some mean things about Sephiroth... he attacked me... I remember now.. was trying to strangle me... I wriggled loose and grabbed his sword... and cut him... he kept coming... I ... I had to keep.... "

Cloud Strife shivers

Reno says, "how did you cut him?"

Cloud Strife says, "I guess... good enough to kill him. I was drunk...."

Reno says, "what else do you remember?"

Reno kisses his side softly

Cloud Strife says, "crying..."

Reno says, "why?"

Cloud Strife says, "Crying... because... I killed him.... because... I had hurt Sephiroth by doing so..."

Reno says, "oh"

Cloud Strife says, "Crying because I knew I was going to die ..... or worse... for what I had done...."

Reno says, "did you ever wonder how Zack felt?"

Cloud Strife says, "What do you mean?"

Reno says, "I mean, you had killed him ... ever wonder what that was like for him?"

Cloud Strife says, "Yeah... must have been terrible to watch Sephiroth...."

Reno says, "to watch what?"

Cloud Strife says, "he was very depressed .."

Reno says, "and?"

Cloud Strife says, "I made it worse for him..."

Reno says, "what did he do?"

Cloud Strife says, "I ... saw him try to kill himself a few times"

Reno says, "oh, what did he do?"

Reno wants to hear some details

Cloud Strife says, "tried to slit his wrists...."

Reno says, "what happened?"

Reno snuggles up close to Cloud

Reno says, "how did you find out?"

Cloud Strife says, "Well... "He was in the bathroom... one night... looking in the mirror and talking to himself"

Reno says, "what was he saying?

Cloud Strife says, "Talking to Zack. The sink was full of water.... and he had a razor....."

Reno says, "how did you see this?"

Cloud Strife says, "He was saying how much he missed Zack... and.. and how I had taken him away... and how I was paying for my crime. He had a habit of using dry rotted rope to tie me"

Reno says, "then what happened?"

Cloud Strife says, "I slipped in and whispered terrible things in his ear.... to make him do it"

Reno says, "what did you say?"

Cloud Strife says, "About how he should just go be with Zack and shut up"

Reno says, "then what did he do?"

Cloud Strife says, "hurt me"

Reno says, "what did he do to himself?"

Cloud Strife says, "Went off. I’m not sure what he did"

Reno says, "oh, so .. you didn't actually see him trying to kill himself?"

Cloud Strife says, "Once... I watched.. he didn’t do anything. he reminded himself he had to punish me.... promising Zack...."

Reno says, "what did he do?"

Cloud Strife says, "Its a haze Reno... he has scars all over his arms"

Reno says, "that bad?"

Cloud Strife says, "yeah..."

Reno says, "ever see him?"

Cloud Strife says, "yeah..."

Cloud Strife buries his head in a pillow

Reno says, "what did you see?"

Cloud Strife says, "him... cutting himself... Reno stop making me remember... you’re hurting me..."

Reno says, "Love? sorry ... I didn't mean. I was just wondering how could someone pure evil be doing that?"

Cloud Strife buries himself in the various cushions

Cloud Strife says, "mph..."

Reno kisses Cloud's side

Cloud Strife sighs and wraps his arms around Reno

Cloud Strife says, "blood dripping down his arm... as he cried...."

Reno says, "... wow... cried?"

Cloud Strife says, "Yes... I felt so bad..."

Reno says, "that he was crying or bleeding?"

Cloud Strife says, "both... crying more"

Reno says, "....crying... over Zack?"

Cloud Strife says, "yeah.... who else?"

Reno says, "how much did he bleed?"

Cloud Strife says, "quite a bit"

Reno says, "did you think he would die?"

Cloud Strife says, "I wasn’t sure.. part of me wanted it... part of me didn’t..."

Reno says, "how did he stop his attempt? What happened?"

Cloud Strife says, "No clue... perhaps he passed out from blood loss. cried himself to sleep while he bled.... "

Reno says, "how badly did he want to die? or was he just suffering more by trying?"

Cloud Strife says, "dunno..."

Reno says, "what happened the next day? did he pretend he didn't try and kill himself?"

Cloud Strife says, "He had his gloves on.... always kept them on.."

Reno says, "oh. did you ever ask him? like, whisper in his ear"

Cloud Strife says, "hmm?"

Cloud Strife buries his head in Reno’s chest

Reno holds his head

Reno says, "taunt him . that you knew he had tried to kill himself?"

Cloud Strife says, "Let me sleep in peace Reno.. let me alone...."

Reno says, "I'm sorry. I'll let you sleep"

Reno kisses his head

Cloud Strife says, "Please... you promised.. no hurting... "

Reno says, "yes ... I'll shut up now"

Reno kisses Cloud again

Reno says, "sleep then love"

Cloud Strife cuddles against Reno and relaxes in the cool air... easily drifting to sleep
