Final Fantasy VII, Reno/Tifa
Title: Radiance
Author/Artist: solitair
Theme: #3 - Passion
Rating: PG-13
Author's Notes: Takes place some time after AC, so there are some spoilers. There is a transition chapter before this that takes place, which can be found here if you want to read it, which shows the transition from Romance to Passion (without which this chapter would probably not work), but which is not part of the challenge.
When she licks drops of rain that have fallen upon her lips to moisten them, his eyes trail her tongue, and he breaks the unbearable silence with a rasp that tells her he’s not quite in control of his voice.
“May I…kiss you?” The words are sincere and no one has ever asked Tifa that before, and her answer comes in the soft shyness of brushing her lips against his, and one of her hands uncurls from his arm to brace against his chest instead.
The butterfly touch of Tifa’s lips against his has Reno’s mind reeling, and his free hand slips into her hair, touch light, but angling her face closer to his to kiss her, taste more of her on his lips. He is pushing himself up from the ground now, knees on either side of her, and she sits up with him as well within the space between his spread legs, and he is unrelenting in his passion, coaxing her to open her lips to his amorous attention as he kisses her and kisses her and kisses her, teeth nibbling at her lower lip one second, pressing butterfly kisses to the edge of her lips the next. She has looped her arms around his neck, one hand fisted in his wet shirt as she returns the demand of his lips with hers, mimicking the movement of his lips.
When they break apart, breathless, Reno can’t help but notice that Tifa looks thoroughly kissed - by Shiva, she looks fantastic like that - and he rests his forehead against hers as they breathe together. Her face is flushed pink and she offers him a shy smile, which causes him to kiss her agonizingly slow this time, and she responds in kind, tilting her head as her lips engage with his. When he pulls away from the kiss this time, he kisses her forehead gently, and draws her close to his body in a hug, arms wrapping snugly around her and she buries her nose in the crook of his neck.
They stay wrapped in each other for a long while until the sun’s rays break through the clouds, and the rain lets up. Reluctant to let go but knowing they need to get cleaned up - summer rain will never have quite the same connotation again - they entangle themselves from each other. Reno stands first, offering a hand to Tifa to stand; when she takes his hand, he notes the slight feel of callouses in her palm - a testament of her strength and unrelenting work through countless years - and he respects the strength in the form of this beautiful, fiery woman. She watches him, slightly amused when he grazes his lips over her knuckles, his eyes watching her watching him, full of promise of things to come.
The subtle change in their relationship is still something that will take them time to explore, but they are walking hand-in-hand together into the uncertain future as the sun shines down upon their backs.
DD: I apologise for the lateness once again!
