Schwarz Mitternacht

The door wildly swings open to Reno's and Vincent's room. Denzel stands at the threshold of the door, his eyes reddened with tears.

Reno: *Turns from sleeping Vincent and looks at Denzel with worried eyes.* Boyo? Wha's wrong yo? Come 'ere.. *Holds an arm out for Denzel to cry in next to him.*

Denzel walks slowly to Reno and wipes his eyes. He removes the prince crown from his head and throws it to the floor.

Reno: 'ey now, don' go throwin' toys.. Now wha' happened? Weren't ye gonna 'elp Tifa yo?

Denzel shakes his head and continues to cry on Reno's arm.

Reno: Did she yell at ye? Oh boyo, don' cry.. Ye breakin' meh heart..*Holds on tightly to Denzel, comfort rubbing his back as he kisses his forehead.* Did..is lil' lass still 'ere? (He 'as a crush on 'er.. Maybe he's heart broken?)

Denzel shakes his head with a "no". He crosses his arms and throws himself onto the bed.

Reno: 'ey.. Talk ta meh, I'm 'ere ta 'elp ye.. Did..ye get inta a fight wit' 'er? Or...oh boyo..Did...'er Da see ye playin' wit' 'er? (Oh god..Please don' be tha'.. I know 'ow much he lov's tha' lil' bonnie..)

Denzel shakes his head yes and whines against the bed.

Reno: Oh boyo.. Com' 'ere..*Moves closer to Denzel, pulling him into a tight hug.* I Maybe Cedeshe lov's ye wit' all 'er lil' heart..

"Muh!" Denzel whines again while wiping his eyes. His nose begins to run as Denzel sniffs against Reno's shoulder.

Reno: 'ey.. Ye 'ave ta be strong fer 'er, boyo... Show 'im ye will ne'er give up on 'er.. Maybe th' General 'an 'elp ye two see each other.. An' ye 'an make 'er little gifts!

"Hm mm!" Denzel's eyes begin to well up again.

Reno: Wha' wrong? He won't be mad at ye, he cares fer ye lik' Vin an' I do.. *Wipes away the tears from Denzel's face.*

Vincent stirs from his sleep as he feels movement on the bed. He sees Denzel crying.

Vincent: What? What's going on with Denzel?

Reno: Th' other General saw 'im and lil' bonnie playin' an' took 'er 'way I gue.. *His sentence is stopped by a loud slamming of a door that echoes the house.*

Vincent: Damn it...I'm sorry, Denzel. (I wonder what really happened.)

Reno: 'an ye watch 'im? I'll go check on Zechs.. It seems lik' he needs someone ta talk ta.. *Looks down at Denzel crying against his chest, kisses his forehead.* Don' worry, boyo.. I'll fix 'is..

Vincent: Yes, I'll watch Denzel. I'll make sure he stays safe...

Reno: *Slowly sits up, unwrapping Denzel's arms from around him and places them on Vincent.* I'll be bac', wit' some food ta..*Kisses both of there foreheads before he walks out and goes to where he heard the door slam, sees the coffee table in the living room knocked over and frowns before he opens the basement door.*

Zechs: Who is it?

Reno: It's meh.. *Slowly walks down the stairs, smiling sadly at Zechs.* I thought I'd check on ye, boyo came ta th' room bawlin' 'is eyes out..

Zechs: I'm sorry, it's my fault. I shouldn't have let him and Hilde play together.

Reno: There's no way ye coulda stopped 'em, they bonded when Denzy found th' lil' bonnie in th' camp.. He 'as a big crush on 'er an' I think th' lil' bonnie 'as one on 'im.. *Walks over to Zechs and sits next to him on the bed.* But I'm guessin' it went bad, boyo hasn't told us much..

Zechs: It looked like they were playing prince and princess. And Hilde wanted to get "married" to Denzel.

Reno: Oh...I tak' tha' didn' go o'er well wit' 'er Da.. Though it does explain why he threw th' crown.. Damn..*Sighs, rubbing his forehead.* He 'as finally 'appy..

Zechs: I don't blame Denzel for being upset. *He takes a drink from a liquor bottle placed on a small side table.*

Reno: Ay'.. I..tak' it 'er Da..blamed ye fer it happenin' yo.. He..broke it wit' ye, yea'? *Looks sadly at Zechs, knowing the pain he must be feeling.*

Zechs: What? What are you talking about?

Reno: Ye 'an't hide it from meh yo, I know th' signs an' sounds. Ye did pretty good at bein' quiet, but I know tha' sound of th' bed movin' yo! Don' worry, I won't say anythin', we owe ye our lives..

Zechs: I guess...you would know. *He takes another drink.* I'm sorry, I shouldn't be so rude. Would you like a drink as well?

Reno: Ay', I 'ad ta hide it as well at first! Meh Grand Da tried giv' meh and meh bonnie an exorcism.. *Chuckle softly as he looks at the bottle.* A good Erie man ne'er turns down a drink yo! *Takes a long sip.* Mmm! So..'ow ye lik' meh kind of life?

Zechs: I like to keep some liquor around. It helps with the aches and pains. And...yes I didn't realize what my heart was telling me until recently.

Reno: Ay',I'd always hav'a few pints at th' end of th' day yo, watchin' th' sun set wit' a fag an' bonnie in meh lap.. *Looks down sadly, taking another drink before he hands it back over to Zechs.* But I got meh Vinny now, he an' boyo are th' only thin' keepin' me 'live. Sometime th' heart hide wha' it wants till it's time it's different fer everyone. I knew I liked boys when I 'as jus' a lad.

Zechs: You're right about that... *He takes the bottle of alcohol and takes a drink.*

Reno: I'm..sorry 'is happened.. Seems lik' 'is war is takin' stuff from both sides yo..

Zechs: War wears on everyone's mind...especially Rufus's mind.

Reno: Ye know.. First week I was 'ere, e'ery night I dreamed of 'ow I'd kill 'im.. It was th' only thin' tha' gave meh comfort, but after I met lil' bonnie an' he spared our lives... I didn' see 'im as th' demon any more..*Lays back on the bed.* I don' know 'ow I'm gonna break 'is ta boyo, I 'old 'im maybe ye 'ould set somethin' up so he 'ould see 'er.. But now I know th' 'hole story..

Zechs: I'll still see what I can do. I don't want poor little Hilde to hurt because of this.

Reno: Ay', she's a lil' angel.. I think Denzy would marry 'er, he gets th' same look in 'is eyes tha' Vin gets when he thinks of meh..

Zechs: I know that look as well. I saw the sadness in Denzel's eyes when Rufus took Hilde and left. Would you like a cigarette?

Reno: Ye tryin' ta win meh o'er, sir? Sorry but meh heart id taken by a dark haired lad! *Chuckles softly as he sits up, excited for a cigarette.* I..'ate ta ask 'is, but maybe it'll 'elp 'im.. Did ye e'er find out 'bout 'is Da?

Zechs: No, I just know that it may be a long while before you have these...luxuries again. *He hands Reno a few cigarettes and a lighter from his coat pocket.* I know that Denzel's father is alive...

Reno: Ay', I'm workin' as fast as I 'an on th' bed! *Quickly lights it up, moaning softly as he takes a puff.* Mm.. T'anks yo! *Lights another one up and hands it to Zechs.* An' good, tha'll mak' 'im a little 'appy..

Zechs: Yes...it'll be something we all can be happy about.

Reno: At.. least ye hav' ye family comin' ta see ye ta look forward ta yo. I haven't seen meh family in..wha'...six years now I think.

Zechs: I haven't seen my family in about as long. The war keeps me away.

Reno: Meh family disowned meh and meh bonnie.. E'en if I 'ould get bac' ta Erie they wouldn't wanna see meh. *Chuckles sadly as he takes a long hit from his cigarette.*

Zechs: I understand... *He takes a drink of liquor.* Here, have another drink. *He hands the bottle to Reno.*

Reno: T'anks..*Takes two big gulps and sighs in relief at the warmth in his stomach.* I feel bit bad though I'm drinkin' an' smokin' while Vinny's layin' in bed wit' a cryin' boyo.. But I don' think 'is would make 'im feel better.

Zechs: He isn't feeling too well to begin with. I don't think...you should feel bad by leaving him in bed.

Reno: I..I know, it scares meh..Do..ye hav' anythin' left we could give 'im yo? *Takes another drink before he hands it back to Zechs.*

Zechs: I believe in the upstairs bathroom, there should be some cold medicine. It will at least help with the symptoms.

Reno: T'anks yo, I don' know wha' we'd do wit' out ye. *Gives Zechs a small smile, finishing his cigarette.* Anythin'..ye wanna talk 'bout? Get off ye chest?

Zechs: Not in particular...What about you?

Reno: Nah, not really. I came ta mak' sure ye didn' do anythin' stupid yo, an' if ye needed someone ye could talk ta 'bout wha' happened..

Zechs: Stupid? Like what? *He tilts his head slightly.*

Reno: Drink ye self inta a state ye try ta tak' ye life.. Or do somethin' else tha' ye'll regret.

Zechs: No...I would never take my life. And, I would pass out here before I had a chance to hurt myself from being drunk.

Reno: Still, ye ne'er know..An' I..I know 'ow it feels ta lose th' one ye lov'..Ye feel lik' a part of yeself died.. *Looks down at his hands.* (I lov' Vinny..But I still miss meh bonnie..He will always hav' a half meh heart 'long wit' Vinny..)

Zechs: He's just angry. Rufus will come around eventually and realize what he has lost.

Reno: Ay', he'll miss ye yo. *Gives Zechs a reassuring smile.* He got offal pissed fer ta kids playin' tagether, e'en if Denzy is a jew. She 'an't get anythin' from 'im!

Zechs: Well, he thinks Denzel wanted to rape his little girl. Denzel is too young to even understand what the word "rape" means.

Reno: Shite! He'd ne'er do tha' e'en if he knew wha' it meant yo! He lov's tha' bonnie ta much. *Shakes his head.* He is at th' age ta start likin' girls, but I mean.. He's ta kind ta do tha'!

Zechs: Denzel is a sweet little boy, if Hilde were my little girl, I would allow them to marry. Denzel is a hard worker.

Reno: Ay', any girl would be lucky ta hav' a husband like 'im yo.. I think she won't be swayed ta think th' same as 'er Da'.. She'll still see boyo as she does now..

Zechs: Yes, hopefully. Hide has a very innocent soul. She loves everyone she meets.

Reno: Ay', she does. *Stretches out, letting his joints pop.* I think I 'an finish th' bed by tanight, but I still hav' the curtains ta wash.

Zechs: Alright, time to work, then. Let me know when you're finished, and I'll feed all three of you.

Reno: 'ight, I'll find ye yo. T'anks fer th' drinks an' fags.. *Stands up and heads to the stairs.*

Reno walks back up to the room they are staying in to find Vincent reading a book about pirates to Denzel, whose eyes are still bloodshot from crying. They look up when the door opens and young Denzel jumps off the bed and runs to his friend, hugging him tightly.

Reno: 'ey, boyo! Ye miss me yo? *Smiles down at him hugging him back.* I see ye ta 'ad fun while I was gone.. *Leads Denzel back to the bed.*

Denzel nods and sits back down on the bed with Vincent and the book.

Reno: Ye ta read, I'm gonna finish th' bed yo! But first..I got some good news, boyo.. *Walks over to stand next to Vincent, placing his hand on Vincent's shoulder.* (I..jus' wanna feel 'im.)

Vincent: What news is this? *He rests his hand on Reno's hand.*

Reno: Ye Da' is 'live, boyo.. He didn' tell meh where he is, but he's 'kay. *Smiles softly at Denzel, shivers at the feel of Vincent's hand.*

Denzel smiles widely and leans in to hear more.

Reno: An' when I'm finished wit' th' bed he'll mak' us a nice meal yo! *Leans down to kiss Vincent's forehead before he begins to gather all he needs.* An' he'll see wha' he 'an do so ye 'an see lil' bonnie.

Vincent: That is all good news...I would like to help with work today, Reno. I'm starting to feel a little better.

Reno: No, ye rest more yo! I 'an finish 'is mehself, babe. *Smiles lovingly at Vincent before he gets on his knees and begins to work.*

Vincent: I don't like laying around in bed all day...But I'll do it for you. Tell me if you need help.

Reno: 'eep readin' ta boyo, I'll listen as I work yo. I lov' 'earin' ye voice, Vinny. *Smiles at him, blowing him a kiss.*

Vincent: I don't know how attractive my voice will be after reading and coughing, but if you say so... *He reopens the thick book to read to Denzel again.*

Reno: Ye always sexy ta meh yo.. An' stop if it 'urts ta much. *Keeps working as he listens to Vincent, his heart filled with happiness at the voice of his lover.*

Vincent: I'll be fine. *He quietly continues to read to Denzel. He looks up as the door to the room opens.*

Yuffie: Hi! Yuck, I hate that book! The one about ninja's is better! *Sticks her tongue out at the book.* Mama Tifa needs lil' brother to help her cook!

Reno: *Chuckles softly at Yuffie.* Ye go 'elp cook, boyo. We'll see ye in a bit yo! Ye be good! *Smiles at Denzel, wiping the sweat off his forehead.*

Denzel agrees and hops off of the bed to go downstairs. He sniffs the air and rubs his stomach as he takes in the yeasty scent of bread dough.

Yuffie: Mama Tifa's starting the rolls for dinner tonight, they'll be nice and hot when it's time to eat! Now go, I have to clean the living room. You got the better job, you can sneak food!

Reno: He's gonna be 'kay yo.. I know they'll see each other 'gain. *Looks up to Vincent.* He tell ye any more?

Vincent: No...not really. He just wanted to read with me. Why don't you rest for awhile with me. You've been working hard the past few days.

Reno: I need ta finish 'is so we 'an eat yo, I'm 'ungry! *Chuckles softly as he works faster, wanting to lay with Vincent but needing to finish.*

Vincent: Come, lay with me. *He pats a place on the bed next to him.* Please...

Reno: Hm..I guess layin' wit' ye fer a few minutes won' kill meh yo! *Winks at Vincent before he sets his tools down, lays down next to Vincent. Places his hand on Vincent's chest.* I lov' ye.

Vincent: Thank you. *He rests his hand on Reno's thigh.* (With being ill, I have missed touching him.)

Reno: Ye welcome, meh fella. *Shivers at Vincent's hand, moves closer to him.* I wish we 'ould stay 'ere wit' boyo..

Vincent: No, there's a reason why we're in our own hell. There's a reason for everything.

Reno: Ta make guns.. I hav' missed th' kiln yo, scary yea'? *Sadly chuckles, nuzzling his face into Vincent's chest.*

Vincent: No...not to make firearms. We're here to learn something. *He gently rubs Reno's thigh.*

Reno: Not ta hate? I 'ready know tha' yo... I don' care anyway, as long as I'm wit' ye, tha's all tha' matters! Mm..*A small whimper escapes as Reno's body is filled with lust from Vincent's loving touch.* (Is he tryin' ta turn meh on yo?)

Vincent: Can I do something small for you? *His hand moves slowly from Reno's thigh to across his stomach.*

Reno: Mm, w'wha' tha' yo? *Shudders at Vincent's hand, licks his lips as his breathing become labored.*

Vincent: You work so damn hard, and I want to reward you. *He rests his hand on the crotch of Reno's pants.*

Reno: Ohh.. I don' mind.. But I won't say no ta 'is yo! *Moans softly as he grinds his groin against Vincent's hand, begins to kiss Vincent's neck.* Ye taste so good...

Vincent: Tell me if it begins to hurt. *He slowly begins to stroke Reno through his thin cloth pants.*

Reno: Uhh.. As..long as it's jus' rubbin', I should be good yo. Mm, jus' rub meh through meh pants, babe! *Pants lightly as he slowly rocks his hips against Vincent's strokes, licks up Vincent's neck.*

Vincent: Only through your pants? *He kisses Reno's neck hard as he rubs Reno's warm, growing length.*

Reno: Ohhh! T-th' burns on th' underside.. As long as ye don' touch under there, I should be..Mmm...fine yo! Feck, mark meh, Vinny! *Grows fully hard against Vincent's hand.*

Vincent: I think I'll keep you like this, and make you release in your pants. *He licks and bites Reno's earlobe.*

Reno: Ahhhh! F-faster, babe! Ye..got meh so feckin' hot yo! *Bites his lower lips to keeps his moans of pleasure muffles, his eyes roll in pleasure at the bites.* M..Meh ear!

Vincent: You get loud when you're "hot". Will you be able to release for me? *He licks Reno's ear again as he rubs the large moistened spot on Reno's pants.*

Reno: A-ay'! Used ta hav' ta be gagged wit' socks, Ohh! *Moans loudly as he feels his release coming.* Bite meh ear, I'm..ohh!

Vincent: You're very sexy. *He works his hands into a frenzy as he nibbles on Reno's earlobe.*

Reno: V-Vincent! *Cries out in pleasure as he releases into his pants, his back arches as his toes curl in pleasure.* Oh..oh god..

Vincent: How was that? *He rubs his hands across the large wet spot on Reno's pants.*

Reno: Meh...meh feel lik'..goo yo.. Uhh..it's..startin' ta 'urt now.. *Tries to move his hips back, but his body won't listen.*

Vincent: How did I make you feel? Did I make you feel good?

Reno: Ye make meh feel 'mazin' yo! I feel lik' I'm in heaven, meh fella.. *Snuggles closer to Vincent, still panting heavily.*

Vincent: I could feel your lust the whole time, my love.

Reno: Meh filled wit' lust, meh fella..Jus' wait till we 'et outta 'ere an' ye'll see jus' how lustful I am yo. *Smirks as he nibbles on Vincent's neck.* I lov' ye..

Vincent: I can't wait to see. I love how sexy you get...

Reno: Ye'll lov' it! An' we 'an finally..Ye 'an mark meh ass ferever as yours wit' ye seed.. *Gives Vincent's neck little licks, knowing he needs to finish the work but not wanting to leave.*

Vincent: You use such dirty talk...What are you trying to do to me?

Reno: Wha' 'an I say? Meh a wanted man, a demon as meh grand Da says! An' I..jus' wanna feel ye, I know I need ta fnish..But meh 'an't force mehself ta move..

Vincent: You're a very...sexy male. You don't have to move just yet. Everything is perfect right now.

Reno: So are ye, we'll 'et outta 'ere an' I'll get ye all fattened up yo! Ye'll be e'en more sexy than ye are now. An' ye right, I feel..at peace..

Vincent: Even if we were at camp right now, everything would be perfect...

Reno: Mm, ay'.. *Looks up to meet Vincent's eyes.* I lov' ye.. I 'ould look inta those eyes fere'er yo.

Vincent: And I could look into yours as well... *He kisses Reno's lips softly.*

Reno: Mmm.. Lov' ye kisses..*Moans softly as he kisses back, softly licking at Vincent's lips.* (I ne'er want 'is ta end..)

Vincent: Your kisses calm me...

Reno: Then kiss meh till ye fall 'sleep, meh lov'.. *Keeps licking at Vincent's lips, asking for entrance.*

Vincent: Mm, so...bad, Reno. *He chuckles softly as he allows Reno's tongue to enter his mouth.*

Reno: Ay'..An' ye lov' it.. *Chuckles as well before he goes back to kissing Vincent, mapping out Vincent's sweet mouth.* (He tastes...so good yo!)

Vincent: You're being very aggressive. I...love it.

Reno: I..jus' wanna 'member e'erythin' 'bout ye mouth.. Know jus' where ta mak' ye weak yo.. *Baths Vincent's mouth with his tongue, his hands stroking Vincent's sides lovingly.*

Vincent: I also love it when you're intense...You're very sexy. I love you. *He licks Reno's lips.*

Reno: I lov' ye ta, meh fella.. An' very sexy ta, ye mak' meh 'ard jus' lookin' at ye.. Mm..*Shivers at the licks, nuzzles Vincent's cheek.* Ye go bac' ta sleep yo..

Vincent: I'll try... *He clears his throat as he rests his head back down on a pillow.*

Reno: I'll lay 'ere till ye fall 'sleep meh lov'.. *Lovingly kisses Vincent's forehead, humming softly to lure Vincent to sleep.*

Vincent: Mm...thank you...Love your voice.

Reno: It's all yours yo..I lov' ta sing fer those who meh lov'.. *Holds on tighter to Vincent, softly starting to sing.* I'd mourn th' hopes tha' leave meh,

If thy smiles 'ad left meh ta;

I'd weep when friends deceive meh,

If thou wert, lik' 'em, untrue.

But while I've thee before meh,

Wit' heart so warm and eyes so bright,

No clouds 'an linger o'er meh,

Tha' smile turns them all ta light. 'Tis not in fate ta harm meh,

While fate leaves thy love ta meh:

'Tis not in joy ta charm meh,

Unless joy be shared wit' thee.

One minute's dream 'bout thee

Were worth a long, an endless year

Of waking bliss without thee,

My own love, my only dear!

An' though th' hope be gone, lov',

Tha' long sparkled o'er our way,

Oh! we shall journey on, love,

More safely, without its ray.

Far better lights shall win meh,

'long th' path I've yet ta roam

Th' mind tha' burns within meh,

An' pure smiles from thee at home.

Thus, when th' lamp tha' lighted

Th' traveller at first goes out,

He feels awhile benighted,

An' looks round in fear an' doubt.

But soon, th' prospect clearing,

By cloudless starlight on he treads,

An' thinks no lamp so cheering

As th' light which Heaven sheds.

Vincent: I like that song...Sing it for me next time. *He closes his eyes to rest.*

Reno: I'll sing ye anythin' ya wan', meh fella.. *Rests his head against Vincent's shoulder, humming the melody to Vincent.*

A few hours later, Reno goes down to inform Zechs that the bed is finished. He finds Zechs now in the living room, and is told to wake up Vincent and they will all eat together. Smiles softly as he walks back into the room and finds Vincent spread out over the bed, leans down and kisses him to wake him up.

Reno: Wak' up meh fella..

Vincent: Wha...already?

Reno: Ay', ye been sleepin' fer four hours, meh fella.. Ye need ta eat an' move a lil' bit yo.. *Smiles lovingly at Vincent, stroking the hair out of his face.*

Vincent: Four hours? Oh, I'm sorry. I should have helped you work.

Reno: No, ye needed it yo. I did fine on meh own! He said we'd stay 'ere tanight an' I clean th' curtains tamorrow, then we'll go bac' ta our place..

Vincent: We're staying another night? And...the food smells wonderful.

Reno: I know, I 'an't believe he's lettin' us either yo.. But I'm not gonna complain! *Smiles as he helps Vincent sit up.* 'an ye make it downstairs, babe?

Vincent: Oh, yes. I've become much stronger.

Reno: Ye do look lik' ye got some color bac'.. *Kisses Vincent softly on the lips before he gets off the bed and pulls the blanket down off of Vincent.*

Vincent: I could use a shower after dinner... *He pushes himself slowly off of the bed.*

Reno: Tha' sounds good, I'll 'elp ye get cleaned. I lov' cleanin' ye up, meh fella! *Reaches out and holds onto Vincent to help him walk.*

Vincent: I can walk by myself, Reno. You've done enough for me...

Reno: I..I jus' wanna 'elp ye, I 'elp meh lover's.. I don' mind, Vinny. I lik' feelin' ye body 'gainst mine.. *Keeps his arm around Vincent, nuzzles his neck.* I lov' ye..

Vincent: I love you...and I'm ready to eat. I'm starting to have an appetite again.

Reno: I'm glad, ye need ta get some energy! *Smiles as he walks out of the room with Vincent, rubbing his back as they walk.* I wonder wha' we're havin' ta eat, it smells 'mazin'!

Vincent: Is that brandy that I smell?

The sweet smell of brandy cooking in jelly fills Reno's and Vincent's nostrils.

Reno: Mmm, 'minds meh of comin' home from work ta bonnie cookin' supper! Mm, I wonder if we'll 'ave cabbage 'gain! *Licks his lips as they walk down the stairs.*

Vincent: Thank you for walking me downstairs...Eventhough you didn't have to.

Reno: Ye don' 'ave ta thank meh, babe. I lov' holdin' ye while we walk. *Kisses Vincent's cheek before they walk into the dinning room and finds Zechs and Denzel at the table, Denzel still nervous around Zechs.* 'ey boyo!

Zechs: He is scared of me, I believe.. I have told him I am not mad at him, I understand he would not hurt Hilde and it was mutual..

Vincent: He's young...of course he'll think what happened is his fault. *He sits down at the table with Reno beside him.*

Zechs: Yes, But I do not blame him. Knowing Hilde, she is the one who started it *Chuckles softly.* She is just like her father, she will get what she wants..

Reno: Ay', she's a strong lil' bonnie! Denzel's gonna 'ave 'is hands full.. *Chuckles softly at Denzel, pats him on the back.* Ye'll get 'er bac, boyo..

Denzel nods sadly at Reno and hears the oven timer go off for dinner. He quickly gets up from his seat to serve everyone at the table their portion.

Vincent: What is this, Zechs? It smells heavenly.

Zechs: Thank you, Denzel.. You may sit down now. *Smiles softly at him before he turns to Vincent.* It is Brandied Quail.. My Mother would make this for my birthday every year, I decided I wanted it today..

Reno: It looks 'mazin'! Oh! Ye are tryin' ta get inta meh pants, Zechs! *Drools at the sight of the large bowl of cooked cabbage in front of him.*

Vincent scowls briefly at Reno, surprised at how flirtatious he is being with Zechs.

Zechs: I thought we could use comfort food.. *Chuckles softly.* No Reno, my heart still belongs to him..

Reno: *Reaches under the table to hold Vincent's hand, wanting to show he was just teasing.* T'anks, I lov' meh cabbage..

Vincent knocks Reno's hand away under the table. He begins to eat quietly

Reno: *Looks over sadly at Vincent before he begins to fill his plate with food, getting comfort from it.* (I..was jus' teasin' 'im, I wanted ta make 'im happy yo. Does Vin think I'd cheat on 'im?)

Zechs: You're welcome.. I hope the food pleases you three..*Smiles softly at them, slowly eating his own food.* You may have more, Denzel..

Denzel happily takes more food to fill his belly. He smacks his lips gently at the sweet glaze covering the quail.

Reno: *Chuckles softly at Denzel, Denzel's happiness making him feel a bit better.* Ye lik' it, boyo? 'ere! *Dishes out some cabbage on Denzel's plate before he gives himself more, getting comfort from his favorite food.* Do..Ye wan' some, Vinny?

Vincent: Yes...please. *He hands Reno his plate.*

Reno: *Gives Vincent a small smile, hope growing in his heart as he fills Vincent's plate with cabbage. Letting his fingers brush against Vincent's when he hands it back.*

Vincent: (What is he doing? He's tugging on my heart...) Thank you...

Reno: Ye welcome, lov'.. *Goes back to eating, humming at the taste of the food.* Ye girls out did 'em selves taday yo!

Zechs: Yes, but they are always good because they eat it as well.. I hope it is like yours in your homeland.. *Grabs his glass of wine and sips on it.*

Reno: Nothin' is as good as bonnie made.. But 'is is good yo! I lov' it! *Finishes what's on his plate before he grabs a few more spoonfuls.*

Vincent: This is good...Thank you for feeding us, Zechs.

Zechs: It is no problem, you have earned it. I will not have to hear my parents complain about the bed now, nor the state of the room.. *Chuckles softly, taking another drink.* You have saved me this time..

Reno: Glad ta 'elp yo, come 'et us when ye're ye need 'elp!

Vincent quickly finishes his meal and excuses himself from the table.

Vincent: I'm going to take a shower...

Reno: Oh, 'kay! *Starts to stand up but frown when he sees Vincent quickly turn from him.* Fella?

Vincent ignores Reno and walks upstairs to bathe by himself. He locks the door behind him.

Reno: ...I..I'm gonna lay down, meh body needs rest yo.. *Nods to Zechs and Denzel before he walks up to the room, tears fall as he lays down on the bed. Pulling the bracelet of Axel's hair out of his pocket and holds it up to his nose.* Axy..W-wha' do I do yo? I..I lost 'im..

Zechs: *Sighs sadly, finishing his glass before he stands up.* Finish eating Denzel, then you may use the girls bathroom to clean up before bed. *Walks up to the bathroom, pulling out the skeleton key to unlock the door before he walks in.*

Vincent: (Who is unlocking the door?) Who is it?

Zechs: It is I.. *Stays near the door, letting Vincent have his privicy.* I don't believe you have ever taken a shower without Reno since I started bringing you both here.. May I ask what has you so upset with your lover?

Vincent: I don't like him when he's flirtatious with you. It...bothers me.

Zechs: Ah..You..remind me alot of him, he was also jealous when I mentioned my need for heirs.. I do not believe Reno wants to sleep with me, you can tell you are the only reason he still lives.. I think it is just how he acts.. But know I would never do anything to take him from you..

Vincent: Well...I don't like it. *He plays with a towel hanging on a metal rack as he undresses.*

Zechs: Then you should tell him.. I heard crying coming from your room I believe he thinks he has lost you.. I will have Denzel sleep somewhere else tonight, I don't believe he should see Reno like this.. *Sighs sadly as he opens the door to leave.*

Vincent: I'll speak to him. *He waits until Zechs has left and wraps a towel around his waist. He enters his and Reno's temporary room.*

Reno: *Curls up tighter, hiding his face so his tears can't be seen as he sniffs.* (Is it boyo? I don' want 'im ta see meh like 'is..)

Vincent: Is it alright if I come in?

Reno: I..I t-thought ye were takin' a bath yo.. *Curls up tighter as his body shudders in sadness.*

Vincent: I think we should talk first.

Reno: Wha' 'bout..Ye..don' wan' meh anymore.. I..didn' mean anythin' yo, I..I jus' wanted ta make 'im smile..If he's happy, then boyo get a better life..

Vincent: I was jealous. *He sits down on the bed next to Reno.*

Reno: Don' be.. Other 'an Axy, ye th' only fella I been wit'..I'd ne'er betray ye by sleepin' wit' someone else yo..

Vincent: I'm sorry...I was being selfish, I guess.

Reno: Nah..I'd be jealous ta.. I jus'..I thought I lose ye, I..I'd die wit' out ye, Vinny.

Vincent: Let's put this behind us and bathe together.

Reno: Ay'.. I promised ta bath ye 'is time yo.. * Sits up, looks at Vincent with bloodshot eyes from crying, the bracelet held under his nose.*

Vincent: I think...we should make this up to each other...

Reno: Jus' 'oldin' meh tanight will be 'nough yo.. *Places the bracelet down on the pillow he's been using before he gets off the bed, taking his clothes off in the room.*

Vincent: Oh, that's it? I was going to offer something else.

Reno: Oh? Wha' tha', meh fella? *Gives Vincent a sexy smirk, slowly unbuttoning his shirt as he sways his hips.*

Vincent: Anything you want. Take your shirt all the way off for me...

Reno: Hmm..Wha' ta do, wha' ta do.. *Slowly opens his shirt up, showing off his body, now skinnier than when he first arrived. Spins his shirt in his hand before he lets it go, landing on the desk.* I'll hav' ta think of tha', fella.

Vincent: I want to do something to make you feel better. *He approaches Reno and presses his bare chest against Reno's chest.*

Reno: Mm..'old meh all night.. An' maybe a lil' somethin' in the shower yo.. *Blushes lightly as he arches his chest against Vincent's, kissing at his neck when he notices the scars again.* Where..did ye get 'ese?

Vincent: Oh...it's from when I was taken away. It's from the dogs, they went for my throat.

Reno: I'm sorry, meh fella.. Those things are evil yo! *Lovingly kisses Vincent's neck, showing he doesn't mind them.* Lets go ta th' shower, babe..

Vincent: Yes...you still haven't told me what you wanted yet. *He holds the towel around his waist as he holds Reno's hand. He walks with Reno to the bathroom.*

Reno: I don' know yo.. Meh nuts an' dick are still healin', I don' think I'm up fer ta much. *Leans against Vincent's shoulder as he strokes the back of Vincent's hand with his thumb.*

Vincent: I'll be gentle with whatever you want me to do...

Reno: Hmm..I think..I could go fer a lil' suckin', jus' 'ave ta be careful.. It's..still..meh balls..flacked earlier..

Vincent: I'll be careful with you. I won't hurt you.

Reno: It..looks disgustin' yo..I gagged when I cleaned meh balls earlier..*Looks down, still shy about his groin.* (I barely let 'im see it..)

Vincent: It doesn't bother me. We're both not perfect...

Reno: Ye are yo, e'erythin' 'bout ye turns meh on.. *Walks into the bathroom and closes the door behind them, grabbing onto the edges of Vincent's towel and pulls him closer.* I wanna see wha's under 'is towel fer ye..

Vincent: What do you think is under this towel?

Reno: Mm..A gift fer meh yo? *Undoes Vincent's towel, letting it fall to the floor. Licks his lips at the sight of Vincent exposed.* Ye still so damn big, fella!

Vincent: Yes, but who said I'm going to use this on you?

Reno: Who else 'ould ye use it on, fella? I'm th' one who sucks ye dick all th' time yo! *Looks down with love at Vincent's manhood.*

Vincent: Yes, you are good at that... Why do you keep staring at my cock?

Reno: Cause I lov' ta do it yo. *Smiles as he lovingly kisses Vincent, placing his hand on Vincent's pubic hair and lightly pulls on it.*

Vincent: Do you want to play with it? It seems that you love my cock that much.

Reno: Mm, ye know jus' how ta turn meh on yo! *Walks into the shower, turning it on before he gets on his knees and waits for Vincent.*

Vincent: Tell me how I turn you on. *He walks into the shower with Reno.*

Reno: Ye so strong, confident of yeself yo. E'en through 'is hell, ye still yeself meh fella.. An' I lov' ye big, 'ard dick an' nuts! *Gives Vincent's meaty cock a small lick to tease.*

Vincent: One day soon, I can make love to you with my cock... How would you like that?

Reno: Ay', I dream of it e'ery night yo, 'is big cock deep in meh..Makin' meh scream out ye name till I 'ave no voice.. *Takes the head of Vincent's cock into his mouth, swirling his tongue around it.*

Vincent: Is that how you like it? Do you like them larger? Yes...suck on me.

Reno: I ne'er 'ad a large one, but jus' thinkin' of tha' in me, makes meh wanna cum yo! Mm, ye taste so 'mazin' babe.. *Moans softly as he takes more of Vincent in his mouth.*

Vincent: So, do you like them all? Do you love sucking me? I want to release for you.

Reno: I lov' the person tha' comes wit' th' dick yo, but I do lov' suckin' ye meh fella! Mmm, fill meh wit' ye lust yo. *Takes a deep breath before he deepthroats Vincent perfectly.* (I ne'er want 'is ta end yo.)

Vincent: You really know what to do. Keep sucking on me...

Reno: Mm, I'll ne'er stop yo.. *Kisses the head of Vincent's cock before he licks at the large vein on the underside, nipping at it lightly before he starts to suck harder.*

Vincent: Yes...that's how I love it. Do you want my release on your face?

Reno: *Nods excitedly, moving back till just the head of Vincent's cock is in his mouth and sucks hard till he feels it start to throb with release.* Cum, meh fella.. Co'er meh face..

Vincent: Are you ready for it? *He pulls Reno's hair gently, pulling Reno's mouth away from his cock. He releases on Reno's face, allowing for some release to land on Reno's lips.*

Reno: Ohhh...Vinny.. *Moans as he feels Vincent's hot seed land on his face, licks his lips as he moves to clean the rest of Vincent's release from his cock like a baby suckling milk.*

Vincent: Lick it off of me, I love it when you do this for me.

Reno: Ye taste so good, 'ow 'an I say no ta ye yo? Oh god, ye came alot babe.. *Moans softly as he licks Vincent's softening cock clean, nuzzles it lovingly.*

Vincent: Is there something you would like me to do for you? I'll do anything.

Reno: Surprise meh yo.. Anythin' from ye is 'mazin' an' makes meh release so fast yo! *Stands up, kissing his way up Vincent's stomach and chest.*

Vincent: Can I suck you as well? I want to please you. You'll be my first.

Reno: Mm, god yes fella! *Lovingly kisses Vincent's lips, finally taking off his pants.* Damn, meh forgot 'em yo..

Vincent: You were anxious to start. *He gently fondles Reno's cock to wake it up.*

Reno: I was, I 'ad ta taste ye 'gain yo. Mmm! Jus' like tha', ye gonna make meh 'ard fast.. *Moans softly as he grinds his cock against Vincent's hand.*

Vincent: I love how warm you feel. I can't wait to feel that in my mouth. *He lovingly caresses Reno's cock.*

Reno: Mm, ye tryin' ta make meh cum before ye e'en start ta suck mah yo? *Kisses at Vincent's neck and shoulder, nipping when pleasure becomes to much.* Oh god..

Vincent kneels in the water collecting in the bath tub. He rubs and strokes Reno's manhood lovingly until it becomes hard.

Reno: Ah..Oh ye look so sexy on ye knees, meh lov'! Please, lick meh yo! *Looks down with lust at Vincent, pushing his hips out so his cock rubs against Vincent's lips.*

Vincent: I'll lick you...You're going to be the first. *He shyly licks the head of Reno's cock, truly testing the waters of erotic homosexuality. He decides he loves Reno's taste and he begins to suck on Reno's cock.* Mm...

Reno: Ahh..! Haa...Oh, so...only meh cock ye taste yo! Go, ye a natural, fella! *Groans in pleasure as he reaches down to hold onto Vincent's head, running his fingers through his hair.*

Vincent: I love you, I love how you taste. I want to have more. *He swallows Reno's cock, slowly getting used to having Reno's cock in his mouth.*

Reno: Ohh, I lov' ye! Uh..Lov' ye mouth, babe! Oh god, take more in yo.. I'm close 'ready! *Moans sweetly as his nails dig into Vincent's scalp, his body shudders from the pleasure.*

Vincent: Are you going to release? I want to taste you. *He sucks on Reno's cock with passion, wanting to drain out Reno's release.*

Reno: Oh! ohhhh! Ahhh! *Cries out as he releases hard into Vincent's sweet mouth, jerking his hips to make sure Vincent gets it all.*

Vincent: Ohh... *He licks the remainder of Reno's release and savors the taste of his lover.*

Reno: Feck meh.. I..need ta sit down yo.. *Sinks down into the tub, his legs turned to jello. Looks at Vincent with loving eyes.* So..'ow ye like meh taste?

Vincent: I love your taste, and I wouldn't mind orally pleasing you again...

Reno: Mm, ye make it sound so..proper yo.. Come giv' meh a kiss wit' those dick suckin' lips.*Opens his arms for Vincent to crawl over, licks his lips to ready himself.*

Vincent: And you make it sound so dirty... *He crawls to Reno and kisses him hard.*

Reno: Tha's jus' 'ow I am yo.. I'm dirty ta th' bone! *Chuckles softly as he kisses back, wrapping his arms around Vincent's neck.* I lov' ye, meh fella..

Vincent: Now...we can get back to having a real bath.

Reno: Ye spoil meh fun yo. *Pouts playfully, pushing out his lower lip.*

Vincent: I thought you wouldn't be up to much after this... *He gently splashes water against Reno's chest.*

Reno: I'm always up fer kissin' yo.. *Splashes back at Vincent, slowly moves his hands down to cup Vincent's ass.* I think we 'an stay in 'ere a few hours..

Vincent: I know I can stay here for a few hours. The water feels really good.

Reno: Ay', it does.. It feels e'en better wit' ye in 'ere ta yo.*Nuzzles at Vincent's cheek, kissing it lovingly.*

Vincent and Reno both relax in the warm water for several hours. Together, they bathe as lovers.
