Night Shift 24: M11-M20 Hallway

Jun 02, 2007 10:51

((OOC: Starting off in M13, moving into the hall.))Homura closed his eyes as that familiar voice filled the air, let out a slow breath to ease into the proper mindset for what was about to happen. Short this time, which was good, as he didn't have any desire to listen to the head doctor prattle on endlessly. No, Homura was eager to get things ( Read more... )

It hadn't escaped him that the Head Doctor had ceased to announce the names of those they'd be pulling out for Special Counselling.

Dammit. They just had to go and make things harder, didn't they?

Feeling incredibly bored already - wandering around at night was starting to get routine enough that even the freaky stuff out there had stopped holding his interest - Reno knocked on Rufus' door and waited.

He was a bit concerned about Dean. Not because the man had opted out - it wasn't like he'd expected a guy he'd know for three days to stick around all the time - but the couple of things he'd said had felt...off.

Well, whatever.

Reno had stopped properly thinking about this about ten minutes ago. Why bother digging beneath the surface? He was content to go along with whatever Rufus had in mind. Well, up to a point, anyway.

He shifted his leg, brushing it lightly against Rufus' as he did. He didn't comment as Rufus spoke, only locked his gaze with Rufus, lowering his eyelids just enough to draw attention to his eyelashes. He didn't bother moving away from Rufus's touch, either, even leaning into it slightly. It wasn't like it was unwelcome or anything. Maybe the fact that he'd been here for almost a week without any real action (the closest he'd gotten was flirting with Lust) had something to do with this.

Reno was tempted to turn his head as Rufus's lips brushed against his ear, knowing full well where the President's mouth would end up if he did so. But he wasn't about to take it quite that far yet ( ... )

Rufus kept his eyes on Reno's own, not about to turn away from that gaze and be the first one to back down or show reluctance. He hadn't lost a game of Chicken before this either in the boardroom or in a fight, and he wasn't about to start with one of his own employees. Granted, Reno wasn't playing as he'd expected. That just meant he had to up the stakes. Soon enough he'd force Reno into a retreat.

The brush of the Turk's leg against his own was a spark of heat, one he pointedly chose to ignore. He wouldn't win this game by giving into a weakness like lust. There was a moment of (very) faint worry when Reno didn't pull back but leaned into his fingers some instead. Well, that wasn't expected. This might call for a change of plan on his part ( ... )

It was rare when he had to look up at Rufus, and Reno was willing to bet anything Rufus was enjoying the hell out of it, a fact which evoked a dry sort of amusement. Rufus's continual insistence on gaining the upper hand, even when it was illusory, had always caught his interest for some reason. But maybe Reno just lacked the proper ambition to understand it ( ... )

Rufus threaded the ponytail through his fingers, keeping a mild pressure on it that told one that his gentle carding of the hairs could turn into a tight grip if necessary. Then again, he was well aware that Reno could break every bone in his hand if the Turk took it into his mind to do so for such a thing. When Reno grinned up at him, that rush of competition came back. This was ground he knew and could understand. This was something he would win ( ... )

Reno didn't move as Rufus continued to play with his hair, content to let the President do most of the work. Whether Rufus realized it or not, he was the only person who'd ever gotten away with grabbing Reno's hair like this. Anybody else had to wait until they were tangled up in the sheets with him, at which point, he was far too busy with other things to really pay attention to such details.

Granted, Rude would be able get away with it, too, except it wasn't in his partner's nature to be all touchy-feely and intimate.

At the hint of amusement in Rufus' expression, Reno's satisfaction only grew. So he really was getting to the President.

Points for me.Though Rufus did surprise him a little by naming an actual price. He wasn't aware Rufus kept tabs on these things. True, that number might've just been one he'd made up on the fly, but Rufus was also certainly detailed and obsessive enough to sit there calculating how much each of his Turks cost ( ... )

Rufus continued to restlessly slide Reno's hair through his fingers. The vagrant thought of how it would look spread out was quickly banished. Such couldn't be afforded right now, not at this stage of the game. He was gentle about it still, not willing to play matter too heavy-handed. Both of them knew that hand-to-hand, Reno could demolish him in a few seconds time if necessary. Perhaps that's what made it so appealing. Both of them could destroy each other, either in person or having others do it ( ... )

It was subtle, but Reno nevertheless caught the way Rufus deliberately avoided eye contact. He tilted his head, trying to catch Rufus's gaze again to see if he could get a reaction.

"Fascinating," he said.

Actually, it really kinda was, in spite of his bored tone. He'd never questioned his exact worth before. He knew he was worth a hell of a lot - the shit he was able to get away with made at least that much clear - and that'd always been good enough for him.

"You mean I managed to save you even though I wasn't even there? Damn, I'm good."

He could feel Rufus's fingers tickling the back of his neck, sending a slight shiver down his spine. Dammit, this was distracting. If he hadn’t been engaged in the most screwed up pissing contest in his life right now, he would've let his eyes close and enjoy the gentle, almost playful, touch.

Instead, Reno snorted and rolled his eyes, though there was more amusement than exasperation. "Spare me, boss. Since when are you ever indecisive? I've already lost count of the number of assumptions you' ( ... )

Rufus made the mistake soon enough of meeting Reno's gaze and ending up trapped by it. Although there was no change in his voice or poise, the pupils of his eyes did widen, a faint rush of air escaping him in what would have been a gasp for others. A tenseness straightened his back, the fingers caught in Reno's hair tightening for the space of a breath before he made them unclench. All too aware of the slip, Rufus made his expression mirror Reno's bored and uncaring nature. Not a hendonist by nature, Reno's blatant manners always had been a bit of a shock to him, evidenced by his reaction that night long ago when Reno had openly mentioned ropes and lacking of a bed in front of others.

It was time to try to swing things back into his court instead of watching the path of that fingertip all too closely. He told himself that he wasn't staring at it, holding his breath until it stopped short. Nope, not him.

Reno just had to go and say 'hard' didn't he, especially in that voice. Had Rufus been in a more serious state of mind, he ( ... )

Though Reno had been trying to evoke a reaction, he hadn't been expecting one. So when he got it, he ended up blinking once in mild surprise before a smirk curved his lips. He was no stranger to hooking in almost anyone he wanted, when he wanted - but Rufus had always been one of the few who weren't a guaranteed catch. True, he'd never tried, because even he recognized it was probably better to not enter into an intimate relationship with the guy you were working for ( ... )

The one thing Rufus Shinra did not do was stop and think because he was pretty sure that if he did, he would realize what a bad idea this could potentially be. Removing himself from his role as President of Shin-Ra wasn't something he could easily do. It was engrained in him as deeply as having blonde hair or blue eyes was. It was simply part of who he was and dictated far too often what he did. If he stopped to think, stopped to consider the consequences, he would have halted everything right then and there, win or lose.

Rufus' kiss had been like himself, detached and functional. When Reno responded, everything that had been intelligent burnt away in a flash. This wasn't like the kisses he'd gotten from his paid nightly entertainment or those that had wanted his bank account. It felt different. His free hand had to hold tighter to Reno's chair, that sudden flush of heat leaving him a little unsteady ( ... )

Unlike Rufus, Reno actually had considered the consequences. They always flickered through his mind on instinct, and then were promptly ignored except for that rare one percent of occasions.

He hadn't been with that many men, despite his anything-goes attitude when it came to sex. Not out of any selectivity on his part; it was just way easier to find women willing to openly display their attraction to him than men who would do the same, and he was never willing to put that much effort into getting a one-night stand.

Of course, this was far from a one-night stand. More of a...something. He had no goddamn clue what. He wasn't even sure if, or when, Rufus would snap to his senses and back off.

But what the hell did it matter? Especially when Rufus was almost sitting in his lap.

Reno slipped his tongue between the parted lips, tasting what was so inherently Rufus, and pulling away just long enough to catch his breath. His eyes hadn't quite closed, but they almost had, fluttering between half-lidded and fully shut, and fuck, but when ( ... )

Rufus made one of those low gasps again when Reno's nail scored across his skin, his lips sliding against Reno's tongue in a sucking motion that indicated a more intimate act. It seemed that he had been with a few men before and his body knew how to react even if his mind was stuck in 'buh?' mode ( ... )

Rufus had no need to worry whatsoever that Reno might back away. If anything, he did the exact opposite, sliding both arms around Rufus, his fingers tangling in the blond hair.

He grunted softly as Rufus settled on him, shifting a bit to better support the weight. Rufus wasn't a big man, but neither was Reno. Still, he managed to get comfortable enough under the circumstances. He slid his leg over Rufus, trapping part of the President's body beneath it.

A low growl escaped him when Rufus spoke his name again. He dropped one hand lower, sliding down Rufus's chest until he reached the end. His fingers danced along the waistband of the pants and brushed that thin line of bare stomach, teasing. He finally pulled away from Rufus's lips, tracing kisses down the side of Rufus's throat instead, as his teeth nipped lightly at the skin.

Somewhere in the back of his mind, something prodded him and reminded him that that door was wide open, that Elena was still on her way, and that Landel's still had any number of monsters who could sneak up ( ... )

Rufus squirmed some in Reno's lap, not meaning to evoke a reaction just yet but to get comfortable. It didn't help much that Reno's lips and teeth against his throat were leading him far from any thinking ability. One hand tangled back into Reno's hair, fascinated with its length it would seem. Quick fingers made short work of his hair tie, letting them loose to tumble over Reno's back and down. There was something about that he couldn't resist. Rufus' other hand slid down to Reno's leg, gripping the man's thigh as he rocked forward again ( ... )
