Don’t Let me go

Cloud x Reno
Final Fantasy VII Advent Children
Death/Angast/Yaoi


Author’s note: I don’t own the characters of Final Fantasy(as much as we all wish to) :3
This is super short, a failed attempt and angasty deathly romance between Cloud and Reno. Anyway enjoy it, I’ll try and whip up something more explicitly juicy.

--

I never saw anything in Reno, not before. I always saw him as a Turk, no matter how I looked at it. He always had a retarded grin on his face, something smart to say, and always wanted the last word. I didn’t know how Rude could put up with him. After the death of Yazoo, Loz, and Kadaj, I saw him, still dressed in the Turk uniform, handsome and cunning with his words, but he wandered alone without Rude by his side.

‘Reno.’

He looked up, the once lively green eyes nothing but grey shadows. He smiled and kept his distance. It wasn’t like him to be so quiet.

“Strife..Hey buddy haven’t...seen you in a while.”

“Where’s Rude.”

I didn’t want it to sound like a threat, I was concerned. Over time I began to like Reno, it was only natural. Reno held up his hands, palms to the sky and gave me a lazy shrug.

“He’s gone.”

“What.”

Reno laughed, letting his hands fall back to his side.

“He’s gone Strife, they’re all gone. I’m the only one left and I’m going to leave too.”

Each member of the Turks flashed through my head. One by one they were being taken down. It occurred to me that Reno was being stupid, he was going to kill himself. He stood only feet from me, staring at me, waiting for me to reply.

‘Why.’

He never answered. His gaze fell, then rose, taking a hesitant step, then crashing into me, arms wrapping around my ribs with his cheek against my chest. I felt his sobs, and felt sad again too.

‘Reno..’

My hands were shaking, resting on his shoulders, pulling him into a hug. I was his only comfort, standing among the hundred other people, a Hero and a Turk.

‘Strife.. Please.. Please don’t let me go..’

I inhaled sharply, feeling his hands slide upwards and his green eyes lock with mine, red from crying, pleading for forgiveness.

‘No Reno.’ I found my voice, shaking. ‘I’ll never let you go..’

I took him home, I couldn’t leave him to wander, I wasn’t that cruel. Tifa understood and Marlene and Denzel.. They’d find out in the morning. I showed him how to love, how much I could love him and through the night I watched him sleep and for the first time he slept peacefully. All the years at Turk Headquarters he never slept well, even with Rude by his side. He slipped away that night, as peacefully as he had fallen asleep, and I regret not discovering earlier that he had blood poisoning from ingesting too many pills.

We buried him, Tifa, Denzel, Marlene and I under the trees in the white forest. Vincent showed up for a while, but even after they all left, I still stood over his grave. I regret it, I regret everything I ever said about him.. Reno. To this day, I wish I could have said more to him....I guess.. I loved him after all, and I let him go...
