Rocking, Love

~We own none of the songs! There are owned by Dir en Gray! And the last one is owned by the people who made that moive!~

The following evening, Yuffie convinces Reno to come with her to Vincent's concert. Reno also takes Zack and his adoptive sister, Elena along to use up Vincent's tickets given to him.

Reno: Ugh, how did you convince me ta goin' to this?! *Groans as he leans against Zack's shoulder, watching him drive.*

Elena: Come on, Re'! It'll be fun, don't be a stick in the mud like Rudy!!!

Yuffie: At least the tickets were free, Reno. *She punches Reno's shoulder.*

Zack: Yeah, and I get to see the sexy bassist I met last night again.

Reno: Yeah Yuf', ya just spread your legs ta get them yo! *Chuckles and sticks his tongue out at Yuffie, showing of the barbell and hoop on it. Turns to Zack.* Ya have a crush on him, don't you?

Elena: You mean Cloud, right Zack?

Zack: Yes, Cloud. He has pretty blue eyes.

Elena: You know, I read somewhere he's still a virgin!! He's saving it fot the person he loves!! Isn't that sweet?! *Looks at Zack with dreamy eyes.*

Reno: You're such a sappy chick, El'! *Chuckles.* (That is cute thou if it's true.. Maybe..just he is okay..)

Zack: I hope that isn't a lie...But it most likely is, Elena. What man in a band do you personally know who is a virgin?

Yuffie: *She chuckles.* Vincent isn't a virgin.

Elena: Well.. um..You and Re' barely ever sleep around! Maybe he's like you guys!

Reno: *Scoffs at Yuffie.* Ya think? He's the biggest whore in the music biz!

Yuffie: Not the BIGGEST whore...

Zack: He's a sex icon, yes, but that doesn't mean Vincent is a whore.

Reno: True, that would be that Heidi chick! *Sighs and looks out the window.* Yeah, yeah... How's 'geal, puppy?

Zack: He's alright. Hey, even my dad likes Vincent's music. But he listens to Vincent's Japanese songs. He doesn't like how their American record label edits the music.

Reno: He likes anything Japanese! We'd watch their movies all the time yo! *Smiles softly as he remembers.*

Elena: Aww! Don't be sad, Re'! You'll find someone else, I know you will!

Zack: Hey...Vincent kinda reminds me of my dad when he was younger. *He chuckles, knowing it will annoy Reno, but cheer him up as well.*

Reno: Ugh, you implyin' I should be with Valentine yo? *Playfully punches Zack's shoulder.* And how you know how 'geal was?

Zack: He's shown me pictures of when he was young. And sure, it's worth a shot. *He winks at Reno.*

Yuffie: Hey...

Zack: *He chuckles.* Sorry, Yuffie. I'm just trying to get a rise out of Reno.

Reno: Oh, I remember those pictures yo! He was sexy! *Looks back at Yuffie, knowing she's jealous.* Don't worry Yuf' i don't want your seconds yo! It'd be like I was sleepin' with you!

Elena: Eww!! Don't talk like that, Re'!! *Fake pukes.*

Yuffie: I think I'm a good lay, Reno! *She sticks her tongue out and wets her fingers. When Reno isn't looking, she sticks her fingers in Reno's left ear.*

Reno: Ahhh!! Gross, pussy fingers!!! *Slaps away Yuffies's hand, chuckling.* I'm sure you are, but ya not my type yo!

Elena: Yeah, he likes dark haired men with BIG cocks! *Giggles.*

Yuffie: Really? Vincent fits that description. *She teases Reno more.*

Reno: Ugh, can we quit talkin' bout my love life yo! I'm to busy to be thinkin' 'bout that kind of stuff!

Yuffie: No, because it's fun to see you annoyed.

Elena: You get a wrinkle on you tattoo's when you are, it's cute bro! *Leans forward and wraps her arms around Reno's seat, giving him a hug.* Reno: Yeah, jus' remember who pays for you two yo! *Grabs Elena's hand, telling her thanks though touch.*

Yuffie: I wonder what he'll wear for the show?

Elena: Something sexy of course!! Ugh, I still can't believe you've gotten to sleep with him!!!! You're so lucky!!!

Yuffie: I've slept with him twice! And he has a HUGE c... *She chuckles when Reno cuts her off.*

Reno: Ugh!!!!!!! Really don't wanna hear this yo!! I already saw it and gonna have nightmares for days! *Leans over on Zack.* Make it stop puppy!

Zack: What do you think she was going to say? She could have said a huge car...

Reno: You know what she was goin' to say! There was no car when I found her yo! *Sighs as he nuzzles into Zack's shoulder.* (He smells just like him...)

Yuffie: What if...I some how got a mold of Vincent's cock and gave it to you, Reno?

Reno: I'd sell it on ebay yo! *Smirks.* Think of the money I'd get!!

Elena: I'll steal it!! *Giggles and blushes.*

Yuffie: Good answer, Elena. I don't know why you would want to sell it. His...penis is god-like!

Reno: Lalalalalalala! *Sings as he keeps leaning on Zack, letting his scent comfort him.*

Elena: We're annoying him bad! He only does that to stop from being mad!

Yuffie: Reno, you share your sexual exploits with us too! *She chuckles softly.*

Reno: Not all of them! I kept some secret so Zack won't faint! *Laughs softly.* (I don't know why, but I can't stand the thought of her being with him! When Zack talks 'bout him it's not as bad but..I just need ta calm down!)

Elena: True, I don't think Zack's ready for some of those stories you told me!

Zack: You should be happy for Yuffie. Hey, Elena...do you know how many people Vincent slept with, other than Yuffie?

Elena: Um.. I don't know! He doesn't really talk about it..

Reno: I am, I am.. I'm just stressed yo.. I'm sorry, Yuf'. *Sighs, looking back at Yuffie.*

Yuffie: It's okay. *She chuckles.* Do you still think he's a whore?

Reno: Right now, I don't know what I think yo.. I'm just wantin' ta have fun on my night off! *Grins.* You remember to hide the mini-bottles of rum?!

Elena: Yep! *Pulls her shirt down a bit, showing that she hide them in her bra.* I got a bigger cup so it's easier to hide them!

Yuffie: Why did we have to buy extra alcohol? I could have got it for free from Vincent.

Reno: Cause I like this kind! And we can't get any from him when we're on stage yo!

Elena: And I don't mind, I have bigger tits now! (And I brought it with my money, stop complaining!!)

Yuffie: Fine... *She pokes Reno's forehead.*

Reno: Hey! Keep poutin' and I won't give you any! *Pokes her in the boob.*

Zack: You kids better calm down... *He jokes with Reno and Yuffie.* We're almost there...

Reno: Yes, Daddy.. *Says in a sexy tone, knowing it will annoy Zack.*

Zack: Fuck you, I'm not your daddy! Yuffie: Disgusting!

Reno: *Laughs loudly.* You know you want ta be yo! Or do you want to be lil' blondie's daddy?

Elena: You and Cloud would be a cute couple, Zack!

Zack: Yeah, I'll be Cloud's daddy someday. *He smirks knowingly.*

Reno: I hope you get him soon, Zack.. You need him after... *Trails off, knowing Zack's not ready to talk about it yet.*

Zack: Um...yeah... *He notices the steering wheel shaking more than normal as they turn into the venue's parking area.* We need to get this rust bucket looked at again...

Reno: Okay, I get paid on Monday, we can do it then since your check is going to food and rent yo.. *Looks around at the sea of cars.* (I wish we could get this many fans..)

Elena: Eeeee! I'm so excited!!!! This is my first big concert!!

Yuffie: Come on, Elena! *She jumps out of Zack's old jeep before it's parked and pulls Elena out with her.*

Elena: I'm coming! Oh, I wonder how close we'll be!! *Jumps excitedly next to Yuffie.*

Reno: *Waits till Zack stops before he opens the door, lighting a cigarette.* Mmm, sweet nicotine!

Zack: *He parks and turns the jeep off and leans against the hood of the jeep.* Can I borrow a smoke?

Reno: Yeah, jus' don't tell your Dad! He still thinks we both quit yo! *Chuckles as he hands one over to Zack along with his lighter.*

Zack: Yeah, I know. *He holds the cigarette in between hhis lips and lights it.* He's just afraid to admit he likes the smell on ya'.

Reno: Yeah...He always sniffed me after my smoke breaks, saying I smelled but he sure damn sniffed alot yo! *Chuckles as he walks over to Zack, taking a long drag from his cig.*

Elena: Come on, you two!!!! We need to get to our seats!!! *Yells at them, already three parking lines away.*

Zack: We'll catch up with you two!

Elena: Ugh, come on Yuf'! They'll take forever!! *Starts to run with Yuffie.*

Reno: That's why I don't do girls! I love El', but I could never be with her! Plus that would be incest in a way!

Yuffie: Right behind you! *She runs with Elena inside.*

Reno: They know we have the tickets, right yo? *Chuckles as he takes another puff.*

Zack: They'll be coming back...

Reno: We're a half hour early, we won't be late yo! I want ta enjoy this smoke! *Looks over at Zack.* So.. tell me 'bout last night, what did you and blondie talk 'bout?

Zack: I told him I like his style of playing the bass, and I asked how old he was. *He chuckles.* I'm glad I didn't drink so much that I didn't remember.

Reno: From what I could see, he looked pretty drunk! I bet his head is killin' him yo! *Chuckles as he flicks the butt to the ground and lights up another.*

Zack: He was pretty drunk. What would you think if I asked him out?

Reno: (I'm losin' everyone to Valentine.. But I won't stand in front of Zack's way..) Do it, he'd be lucky to have a guy like you Zack! And by that blush he liked you too!

Zack: *He feels some slight animosity from Reno, but tries his best to ignore it as he discards his cigarette.* I'm good with cigarettes for now...

Reno: You sure? I have some more yo.. *Sighs.* I really do want you ta ask him out.. I just..I guess all this change and stress is gettin' to me and.. I worried I'll loss all of ya.. *Looks down his shoes becoming very interesting.*

Zack: How will you lose me? Do you think I'll change over to their band or something?

Reno: Or go on tour with him, you know if Valentine asked Yuffie she would be out of here faster then you can say shitfuck.. Never mind, just forget it yo. *Takes another hit, still looking at his feet.*

Zack: Why don't you call him by his first name?

Reno: I don't know him..I don't call people I don't know by their first name..

Zack: You just don't like him. Well...I'm going to head in...If you really don't want to go in, that's fine.

Reno: No, I don't want ta sit out here alone yo! I can take a few hours of his music, I want ta see if you cream at the sight of blondie! *Chuckles as he walks with Zack.*

Zack: Come on, then. You're being a killjoy.

Reno: Sorry, man.. I'm just..it's crazy right now and my mind isn't doin' so well yo.. Just ignore me when I'm a killjoy! *Gets out another cigarette and lights it up as they walk.*

Zack: Alright, fine... *He playfully slaps Reno on the back as Reno joins up with him.*

Reno: So.. I hear ya moanin' last night, were you thinkin' of him yo? *Chuckles, wiggles his eyebrows back at Zack.*

Zack: Why do you want to know? I heard you moaning last night too.

Reno: Cause I'm your best bud yo! And I want ta tease you! * Smirks and bumps Zack's shoulder with his own.*

Zack: I must have been thinking about him, but it must have been a dream because I don't remember much when I dream.

Reno: Well, it sounded like you had fun yo! *Begins to kicks a rock as they walk.* Maybe Yuffie can talk to Vincent and make so you two can meet again!

Zack: Don't worry about it... I'm sure Cloud will let me back stage.

Reno: I wonder how close we'll be, may you can blow him a kiss again yo! He seemed ta like that! *Smiles at Zack.* (I really want to be happy and have him..)

Zack: Maybe I'll be close enough to give him a real kiss. *He smirks at Reno.* I'll get on that stage if I can!

Reno: If you can get past the guards, go for it yo! Plant one on him, pup! *Chuckles softly.*

Zack: You know I will. *He winks as he gets to the ticket gate where Elena and Yuffie are waiting.*

Elena: You guys made it! Come on, lets go in!!! *Smiles brightly as he takes Reno's hand and pulls him along.* Reno: I'm comin' yo! The seats aren't gonna all be gone! *Hands the tickets to the ticket master.*

Yuffie: Yes, yes they are! Hurry! *He waves her arms franticly as Reno gives everyone's ticket to the ticket master.*

Ticket Master: Red tickets, eh? These are the VIP seats, right up front. *He tears the ticket stubs and hands them back to Reno.*

Zack: That was nice of him...

Yuffie: Front freakin' seats, Elena!

Elena: Oh my god!!!!!!!! *Sheiks loudly, jumping with Yuffie.* I'm going to have a heart attack!!

Reno: (She's so happy, I wish Rude was here to see that!) Looks like you'll get your kiss, Zack! *Chuckles as he walks inside.*

Zack: Fuck yeah I will... *He walks past Reno and spots Cloud playing on stage.* It's started already. *He listens to Cloud play and takes notice of his outfit, A green sporty jacket with orange, blue, and yellow florescent stripes down the sleeves, a jacket clearly from Japan. He nods in approval and takes notice of Cloud's loose fitting jeans with large stylized holes over the knees and lower thigh.* (He...looks sexy.) *He sits in his seat, surprisingly faster than both Yuffie and Elena, and just in time to hear a bass guitar solo by Cloud.*

Reno: *Chuckles as he watches Zack, sits down beside him.* He is good yo!

Elena: He's great! They're all great!!!! Oh,I can't believe I'm here!!!! *Screams along with the other fans.*

Yuffie: *She hugs Elena in excitement and bobs her head to the music.*

Reno: *Chuckles, everyone's happiness starting to make him feel better.* (This song is good..)

Vincent: *He begins to sing softly, but meaningfully after Cloud's bass solo and soon joins with his own lead guitar.* "itsu ka wa yasashisa ni kizuite haha naru "yurikago" no naka de

hitsuu yue ni mae ga miezu boku no saigo no mama de

semete kimi ni kizukarenu you ni saisho no mama

tokei wa hidarimawari demo okashita tsumi wa kaereru

saisho de saigo no rikaisha kowashita."

Reno: (He does have a good voice.. But he's sold out! No, stop it! I need ta stop this, they already annoy at how I'm actin'! Just sit here and listen yo..) *Closes his eyes as he listens.*

Elena: Oh, his voice is so sexy!! I could listen to it all day!

Zack: *He notices Reno's pouting and elbows him in the arm, then leans back to watch Cloud.* (Damn...I swear I can feel his sweat land on me, we're so close.)

Yuffie: *She squeals along with Elena and takes her phone out to begin to take pictures.*

Reno: Ow, hey! I was listenin' yo! *Looks over about to elbow Zack back but laughs at the sight of him watching Cloud.* (He's crazy for that boy!) *Reaches over and wipes the drool off Zack's chin.*

Vincent: *He notices Yuffie and her friends in the front row and finishes off the song with Cloud as a vocal and guitar duet.* "boku ni wa yasashisugita no ka naa? mukashi no torauma wo utsushi. Saigo no kimi made kowashita boku wa sado? "

Cloud: *Looks over the crowd as he finishes the song, spots Zack sitting with his band. A soft smiles breaks his usually stone face when he plays.* (He's here! And he's watching me!!)

Reno: *His eyes find themselves on Vincent again, wearing a long sleeve red shirt with a wide collar to show off his pierced collar and tattoos. The metal D-rings adorning the sleeves and seams Vincent's shirt glint under the stage lights. The light weight fabric of the red shirt clings and rides up slightly on Vincent's right side, showing off a small amount of his bare hip and Vincent's heavy denim jeans. White and red cloth straps with print show off Vincent's long, sexy legs. (God, he looks sexy yo! No wonder Yuf' was jealous...) *Unable to stop himself from licking his lips.*

Elena: *Looks over and giggles at the sight of Reno.* (He does like him! As much as I like Yuffie, I'd rather Vincent be with Re'!)

Yuffie: *She nearly falls out of her seat from staring at Vincent as he finishes off the song and thanks his fans.*

Zack: What...the hell? *He spots a young woman running down the aisle, flashing her breasts at Vincent and Cloud before being led out by security.*

Yuffie: What a bitch!

Reno: *Laughs loud, slapping his leg at the sight.* That was awesome yo!!!

Elena: She's crazy and drunk!!

Vincent: *He tries his hardest not laugh at the drunk woman.* Wareware wa, ikutsu ka no oppai ga kon'ya ni mite mi mashi ta.

Cloud: (Oh god, my eyes! My eyes!!) Moshi karera ga.. Raundo to hatsuratsu to sa reru!?!

Reno: (Be nice if they'd speak so everyone can hear.* Blondies looks like he's gonna puke, Zack!

Zack: Cloud asked if that woman's boobs should be that round. *He chuckles.*

Reno: Damn, that kid is differently gay yo! *Chuckles as he pats Zack's shoulder.*

Vincent: *He answers Cloud on stage.* Hell no. But I think she wanted you to see them the most, Cloud.

Cloud: Ughh! Ladies, please refrain from flashing me!! They do nothing for me!! *Shudders again, his fingers running over the cords.*

Vincent: Oh...I can hear her from outside. Shit, here she comes!

The drunken woman runs back into the auditorium and screams "You own my tits, Cloud! They fucking love you, baby!" She jiggles her breasts before she is taken by the police this time and lead outside.

Cloud: *Looks down, happy the sweating hides his blush.* Shit, can they lock her up?! I still hear her crazy yells! Vince, lets play some music to drown her out!!

Reno: Shit, poor Cloud! He looks like he's going to die of embarrassment and disgust yo!

Zack: Don't say that, Reno! Then I'll never kiss him.

Vincent: Alright... *He smirks as the crowd begins to scream the songs they want him and Cloud to play.* What are you hearing the most of Cloud?

Reno: You can, he just won't kiss back! *Chuckles as he looks back at the stage.*

Cloud: How about Obscure, we haven't played that in a while. What do you guys think? *Smirks when he hears roars from the fans cheering.*

Elena: Oh! I love this song!!! *Yells loudly, still jumping in happiness.*

Vincent: *He smirks as he watches the crowd as he and Cloud begin the first hard guitar notes together.* Tsurushita kuzuki koyoi de ikutsu?

Reno: (I remember this song, El' listens to it alot.. I like the hard rock part. It's one of his good ones, before he changed..)

Cloud: *Looks over at Zack as he plays, blushes when he sees Zack's eyes never leaving him.* (He likes me! I can't mess up tonight, I'm playing for him!)

Vincent: (I'll sing a few verses in English...) "and the vomiting at night begins. Don't you remember?

Colour of faint...the night begins and people start to crowd

Colour of pomegranate...sting with the prick and disappear far away "

Reno: *Leans back, resting his head against Zack as he watches them.* I do like this song yo..

Cloud: (He's still all over Zack! Are they together?! Vin said it was an act! Well..I'm not with Vin and we... I need to stop worrying! Wait till I talk to him again!)

Zack: Reno...*He looks to his right where Reno is leaning on him.* Why are you drooling on me?

Reno: I'm not! It's your own drool! *Wipes his mouth off and moves off of Zack.*

Zack: Unless my drool comes from your mouth. *He smirks.* You have a crush on Vincent, don't you?

Reno: *Slaps Zack softly on the back of the head, making a shushing noise.* Don't speak of that in front of her! I'll end up with a horse head in my bed yo! And I don't, I just can't help it if my body finds him sexy!

Zack: At least you're admitting it.

Reno: I still..ugh, I need a cig! Think I can smoke in here yo? *Grabs his pack from Elena's purse.*

Zack: You're gonna get us kicked out!

Yuffie: If you get us kicked out, I'll kick your ass!

Reno: Damn! Okay, okay! I'll wait till after this song then go out and smoke yo! Cool down you two! *Shakes his head as he leans back in his chair.*

Elena: You really should stop, Re'!

Vincent: "Zakuro iro... toge wo sashite anata wa kieru."

*He finishes off the song and hands Cloud a bucket of ice he usually keeps on stage.*

Cloud: *Finishes the last note before he grabs the bucket.* You guys look hot, here cool down! *Throws the bucket into the crowd, making sure some land in the VIP area.*

Zack: (I heard about them doing this!) *He smiles as several large cubes of ice land on him.*

Reno: Fuck! *Gasps as he's cover in some water from the ice melting, his nipples harden under his rainbow mesh shirt.* My cigs!! *Quickly he check them and curses angrily.* (My whole pack! It's ruined!!!)

Vincent: As for anyone with ruined belongings...*He glares directly at Reno.* I don't care.

Reno: *Growls in his seat, throwing his ruined pack to the floor as he glares back at Vincent.* (Course he doesn't! He has all the money in the world! I won't be able to buy any more for weeks yo!)

Vincent: If you're that pissed, I'll give you my cigarettes. *He takes out his pack of cigarettes and tosses them on the floor in front of Reno.*

Zack: *He chuckles at the rise Vincent got out of Reno.* Get the cigarettes fast, the fangirls are coming!

Reno: *Snatches the pack and gets up, looking down at Zack.* I'm gonna go piss.. *Walks out of the arena.* (They don't understand! And...I don't want them too...)

Elena: *Watches sadly as Reno walks out.* Re'...I wish he'd tell me what's wrong! He's never this bad unless he's hiding something big..

Vincent: He's pissed because I showed up at his venue last night. Tsk tsk... *He shakes his head as he begins to play random harmonizing chords on his guitar.*

Elena: No.. *Looks over at Zack.* That's not it, please talk to him when we get home, Zack! He never lies to you..

Zack: If he's not back in five minutes, I'll go look for him, Elena.

Elena: *Frowns when she hears people booing about her brother, saying awful words.* Thank you, Zack..

Zack: *He sighs.* It's not like we've never damaged people's belongings during shows before.

Elena: You have?! *Shakes her head.* I don't think it's that, Zack.. He normally would flick Vincent off with a big grin!

Zack: I know...I'll listen to one more song, and if he's not back yet, I'll find him.

Elena: Thanks, Zack.. *Leans over and give him a quick kiss on the cheek as thanks.*

Zack spends another few minutes to stare at Cloud playing on stage. Zack decides to leave to look for Reno. He gives Elena and Yuffie a hug before he heads out to wish them a good time until he finds Reno. He makes his way outside and walks toward where he parked and finds Reno still fuming.*

Zack: Why are you being a fucking ass tonight?

Reno: Just leave me alone, go back ta ya blonde thing! *Spits out the spent cigarette butt and lights another one.*

Zack: I promised Elena I would look for you if you weren't back in five minutes. You're really missing a great performance.

Reno: I really don't give a damn right now 'bout the concert! Tell Elena I'm fine yo!

Zack: No you're not. She wants to know why you're being an ass too.

Reno: I'm just an ass, there's your answer yo! *Jumps off the hood of the Jeep and starts to walk.*

Zack: You're not like this all the time. Do you ever remembering one of our fans getting this pissed if we ruined something of theirs? You're being irrational

Reno: *Turns around and looks at Zack.* He had fuckin' money to replace what was damaged!! *His eyes go wide, realizing he may of let Zack onto his secret.*

Zack: Reno, are cigarettes worth getting this angry over? I...understand if you don't have money, but cigarettes aren't a necessity.

Reno: No..No you don't.. And those cigs are one of the only things I have left yo! *Starts to walk away again.*

Zack: The price of cigarettes are worth more than friends? Alright, I'll leave you alone. *He begins to walk away, knowing Reno will start to come back.*

Reno: Damn it! *Punches a car next to him, his knuckles bleed as the alarm starts to go off. Sinks to the ground as a few tears fall.* (I pissed him off, now he's really going to leave with Cloud!)

Zack: Come on... *He rolls his eyes as Reno punches the car.* Stop being immature and tell me what's going on.

Reno: Eeverything..is goin' wrong.. Aafter.. I..I can't take much more yo! Everything hurts aand nothing makes it go away, I don't know how to fix this!

Zack: Life hurts, Reno. There's nothing I can do to fix that...

Reno: I know that, Zack.. Better than anyone! *Fists his hands.* I'm..I'm wiped out..I have no money left aand when my next check comes.. The creditors are gonna take it ta pay off my growin' debt!

Zack: Yeah, I know you're broke...I've answered calls from the creditor. *He sighs shallowly.*

Reno: I don't know what ta do. I was doin' fine but they cut my hours back at work and Yuf' lost her job.. I'm payin' for myself, her and El' and her schoolin'!

Zack: Someone else is going to have to get a job, even if it's washing dishes. And we need to start looking for venues who pay more.

Reno: I want El' ta finish school, she's worked so hard yo.. I've been tellin' Yuf' to get one but she just goes ta her room and ignores me! I even brought appellations for her and she never filled them out yo!

Zack: Yeah...Maybe I could get a second job?

Reno: No, you have enough to do.. I've been lookin' for another one, I've waitin' ta hear back from a place.. *Looks down at his knuckles, hisses as he touches the wounds.* (Everything went to hell after we broke up.. God, I miss him so fuckin' much! But.. he's happy know, he forgot 'bout me yo...) I..I miss 'geal.. *Whispers to himself.*

Zack: I know you miss him. *He chuckles softly.* Why don't you hit on Vincent?

Reno: He hates me yo.. Aand he'd never want me, no one does.. I'm forgettable yo.. *Sighs as he stands up, walking back over to Zack.* I'm okay now..Just needed ta let everything out.

Zack: I think you hate him more than he hates you.

Reno: He jus' rubs me the wrong way yo. But.. I'll try to be nicer ta him for you. *Stands next to Zack, sighs as he rest his head against Zack's shoulder.* I'm so tired, puppy.

Zack: Well...*He looks at his watch and notices people begin to come out of the venue.* They must be finishing up...

Reno: Oh fuck..I'm sorry, Zack.. I ruined your night.. Why do I keep fuckin' everything up!

Zack: I'm fine, I can probably find the performance on the internet somewhere. There are a lot of people, though. I don't think I'll be able to go back in to see Cloud.

Reno: No, I..I'll make it up to you some how yo! I promise! *Moves in front of Zack.* Hold on to me, I'll get us back in! I need to get back to El'!

Zack: Let's try to push through. *He, along with Reno begin to push through the growing crowd to meet with Elena and Yuffie.*

Elena: Oh, where are they?! I hope they're okay! *Paces worried in front of her seat.*

Yuffie: I see Zack through the crowd! And Reno! I can see his rainbows.

Elena: Where?! *Looks and smiles at the sight of Reno, smiling as he pushes though the people.* (He loves to piss people off, it seems like he's doing better!) Oh! Reno just got groped!

Reno: *Manages to get to their seats after a few minutes.* Fuckin' perverts! My ass hurts from bein' pinched yo!

Yuffie: Beat them up, Reno!

Reno: I did some! I gave 'em a black eye and broken nose yo! *Chuckles as he walks over to Elena.* I'm sorry I was an ass, El'.. But don't worry, me and Zack talked and I'm okay.. *Gives her a hug.*

Elena: That's good, I was worried, Re'! *Hugs him tightly, pulls back and gasps at the sight of his knuckles.* Re'! What happened?!

Reno: Nothin', I just..let my anger out on a car.. Don't worry, it barely hurts anymore yo!

Zack: *He playfully pushes Reno's shoulder.* I think we should get out of here, it's starting to get crazy in here...

Reno: Yeah and I need ta sleep yo! I have a double shift tomorrow! *Wraps his arms around Elena and begins to walk with her.* And you have class! Elena: I know! I'll drop you off before I go tomorrow! *Smiles up at Reno, leaning against him.* (He seems much better now, thank you Zack!)

Yuffie: Oh! Um...I also have an odd job tomorrow! *She runs excitedly toward the group.* I forgot to tell you. I have to mow some old lady's lawn!

Reno: Really? That's great, Yuf'! (Maybe.. things are gettin' a bit better yo..) Hold on ta, Zack so we don't loss you in this mob!

Yuffie: *She holds onto Zack's shirt.* Yeah, I don't know how long I'll be gone. I saw the job in the paper you gave me.

Zack: How much does it pay if you don't mind me asking?

Yuffie: Um...I think the woman said ten an hour!

Reno: That's good, Yuf'! Just take a long time yo! *Chuckles as he pushes though the crowd.* Just keep lookin' as well, you'll find even more! (Thanks, Zack.. I didn't want ta ask..)

Elena: I can too, I could do a little something maybe! *Giggles as she watches Reno pushing though, getting glares.*

Reno: No, you're gonna finish school El'! Ya close ta finishin' soon, then ya can get a real good job! (She'll be the first one out of us to graduate from collage..)

Zack: *He pushes ahead with Yuffie hanging onto him.* I'm going to try to get to the jeep, okay?

Reno: Alright yo! Watch your ass, puppy! Punch if ya have too! *Chuckles as he watches Zack and Yuffie run off ahead.*

Elena: Thank you for going to this concert with me, Reno. *She squeezes Reno's neck from behind and kisses him on the cheek.*

Reno: You're welcome, sis! We haven't been able ta spend time together yo.. *Kisses her back on the cheek.* Sooo...How's your crush goin'? *Winks at Elena.*

Elena: Um...Crush? What do you mean? *She blushes slightly.*

Reno: You think I don't know the signs, El'? Plus I saw the heart in your notebook with E.S.+T.L.! *Grins at her blush.* (I got her!)

Elena: Oh...that. It's nothing, Reno! *She blushes even more.* Stop it!

Reno: Come onnnnnnn! Tell me yo! *Makes his puppy face, knowing she can't say no to it.* Who's the guy who has my lil' El's heart?

Elena: T.L is...*She mumbles under her breath.* a girl.

Reno: Huh? Ohh! *His eyes go wide in shock.* (She's never shown likin' a girl before yo.. We really haven't been spendin' enough time together!) That's cool, El'! What's her name yo?

Elena: *She whistles and acts like she did not hear Reno's question.* Hmm?

Reno: Her name, what is it? Or is she just named T.L.? Cause if so, that's a weird one yo! *Holds her close to his side, messes up her hair.* Tell meeeee!!!

Elena: Her first name is Tifa, and I don't think she notices me half of the time.

Reno: You'll just have to make her! You're a real catch, El'! If you weren't my sis and I wasn't gay I would hav' ya as my girl! Maybe invite her to go ta lunch? Sayin' it's a study meet!

Elena: *She giggles softly.* That's a good one, Reno. Maybe you or Zack can give me "note cards" on what to say to her. I've...never hit on a girl before.

Reno: Sure, but just do what ya like guys doin' to you! Comment on her clothes, her hair, her smile, those things yo! She'll be lucky ta have you, El',very lucky!

Elena: Thanks! *She takes Reno's hand and begins to pull him towards the exit of the concert hall.*

Reno: Welcome! *Chuckles as he runs to keep up with Elena.* I'm comin' El', I wanna get home too yo! *Chuckles when he sees Yuffie standing on the hood of the jeep, waving her arms in the air to get there attention.*

Elena: I'm kinda excited to get home too. I need to study a little more...

Reno: Do you need any help? I'm sure Rude will help yeah, or I can a little bit yo! (What I understand..)

Elena: No, I don't need help. *She excitedly hops into the back of the jeep.*

Reno: Alright, I just makin' sure! *Lets Yuffie get in back with Elena before he hops in and closes the door.* Come on, puppy! Lets get goin'!

Yuffie: Yeah, I have to tell all my friends about the concert!!!

Zack: Seatbelts, please. *He starts the jeep up and begins to pull out of the parking area. Once on the street, he makes a left turn when the steering column begins to smoke.* What the fu...*He quickly pulls over, but hits the curb, flattening the right front tire.*

Reno: Holy shit! Everyone get out yo! *Opens the door and helps Yuffie and Elena out before he goes to the front and coughs as he's covered in smoke.*

Zack: Fuck this shit! *He quickly gets out of the car and moves far away, making sure everyone is our of the car.*

Reno: Fuck, I knew I should put in a new steerin' column in yo! But it didn't look that bad, I thought it could wait till the junkyard got the new stuff yo! *Kicks at the ground.*

Elena: It's okay, Re'.. You couldn't of known, don't beat yourself up! *Comfortingly pats Reno's shoulder, knowing he is blaming himself.*

Yuffie: Now we're stranded out here! Does anyone have money for a taxi? I'm ready to start panhandling.

Reno: No, I spent the last of my money on dinner last night.. How 'bout your phone, Yuf', Elena?

Elena: I have a twenty, but that won't be enough to get home, and I don't know anyone who can pick us up. Yuffie? *She shudders as she watches Yuffie run out into traffic to wave cars down.*

Yuffie: *She waves her arms at passing cars, hoping one would stop to help.* Please? Everyone is being a bitch today!

Reno: Then we're stuck here till someone stops ta give us a ride, or let us use their phone.

Zack: *He decides to join Yuffie in trying to wave a driver down.* Hey, Reno! Look at that Rolls Royce coming this way. *He waves his arms harder, hoping the driver of the Rolls Royce would give them a ride.*

Reno: Really?! *Runs over and whistles at the sight.* Wow! That's fuckin' sweet yo! I've always wanted one, oh! Their stoppin'!!!

Elena: They are?! Oh thank god!!! *Runs over to the others.*

Cid: *Stops and rolls down the window.* Havin' car trouble?

Reno: Yeah, the steerin' column is shot and we got a flat, could you give us a ride yo?

Cid: Alright. Hey, back there, move so we can give these people a ride.

Elena: Oh, thank you! Thank you so much!!!!

Reno: (I wonder who's back there, must be rich ta have a sweet ride like this yo!) *Stands in the back, letting the girls get in first.*

Yuffie: Thanks! *She slides in, and to her surprise, sees Vincent and Cloud in the back.* Oh my god, Elena!

Elena: What? OH my god!!! It's..it's.. Yuffie, can you believe it?!?!

Cloud: *Chuckles softly.* Hi, girls. Make yourselves comfortable..

Vincent: (Just my luck...I don't even like Yuffie anymore...) Sorry you're stranded. Sit where you want.

Elena: *Blushes lightly, looks down as she sits next to Yuffie.* Tthank you, I don't know what we would of done.

Reno: (What..I know that voice..Fuck, just my rotten luck! ) *Climbs in, sitting next to Elena and smiles when he feels her lean against him.* (She's so nervous yo!)

Zack: Cloud? Is that really you back there?

Cloud: *Looks up, hearing the voice he's been thinking of the past day.* (It's him!) Z-zack? What are you doing here? *Blushes when he realizes how dumb his question is.*

Zack: The bitch blew up on us. *He sits in the front seat next to Cid.* We live...kinda far from here. Is that alright?

Cid: Yeah, just tell me where ta go. *Pulls out after everyones in, speeding down the highway.*

Reno: I'll go ta the junkyard tomorrow after work and see if I can find a new column, Zack..

Zack: It's close to where Vincent and Cloud were last night. And don't worry about it, Reno... *He sighs.*

Reno: No, I should of done it before.. And we need ya jeep, pup.. *Leans back in the seat, sighing as well.*

Elena: I can get a ride with Rude and you and Zack can use the Kia tomorrow, don't worry you two.. *Rests her head on Reno's chest like she would when they were little.*

Vincent: (I already know Reno hates me...I'm just not going to say anything.) Drive slowly, Cid. (All Cloud needs is to puke in front of Zack...)

Cid: Oh right, sorry Cloud! *Slows down, not wanting to clean up puke.*

Cloud: *Blushes, looking down.* It's alright, Cid.. (I'm glad he slowed down, I could already feel my stomach starting to get upset...)

Vincent: I think Cid learned his lesson...

Elena: *Giggles softly.* He drives like Re'! He loves to speed! And see how long it takes before Rudy yell at him! *Giggles as she looks up, notices Reno has dozed off while sitting up.*

Yuffie: Looks like Reno's down for the count. *Chuckles before she looks over at Vincent.* How are you? You were really good up there tonight!

Vincent: Thank you for coming...

Yuffie: I wouldn't miss it, Vinny! I can't thank you enough for the tickets! *Smiles at Vincent, her eyelashes flutter.*

Elena: *Slowly slides into Reno's lap, fallen asleep as well.* Zzzzzz...

Cloud: (I wish Zack could of sat back here, I really want to talk to him..But I don't want to yell over everyone else!) *Lightly pouts, playing with his jacket.*

Vincent: *He notices Cloud pouting.* (What's wrong with him?) I'm glad you made it.

Zack: Hey...where are you two staying at?

Cloud: (He talked to me!) Um, at a hotel.. It's okay, the workers make sure we don't get fangirls sneak into our room..

Yuffie: That's nice! I'm amazed the workers don't sneak in!

Zack: How far away is the hotel? If it's too far to drive, you two can stay at our place tonight. (And I can get to know Cloud.)

Vincent: Well...once we drop all of you off, our hotel will be an hour or so away...

Cloud: I..I don't want to intrude.. *Blushes harder.* (He wants me to stay in his house!!!)

Yuffie: You won't be! We have a nice couch your driver can sleep on and I'm sure Zack won't mind sharing his room with Cloud! *Winks back at Zack.*

Vincent: Don't worry...And Cid can tell the staff to stay in our room so we don't have fees to cancel it.

Zack: It's not a problem...

Cid: Alright, and don't worry. I'll sleep in here, that's what I've been doin'!

Yuffie: Yeah! And we're next to a diner where you can get breakfast! They love us and give us discounts!

Cloud: I'm okay with it, if Vince is..*Shyly keeps playing with his jacket.*

Vincent: I don't see the problem...Unless Reno doesn't want us to stay.

Yuffie: *Looks over at sleeping Reno, twitches a bit at the sound of his name.* He'll be fine, he's going to go to his cave as soon as he gets home! And he's out voted anyway!

Cloud: Okay, we just don't want to start anything..

Vincent: (He'll throw a fit if he finds out...)

Zack: Don't worry about Reno. The place is in my name anyway.

Cloud: Alright, I guess it's decided then.. *Smiles shyly at Zack, excited to be staying with him but scared at the same time.*

Yuffie: Yep! And you can stay in my room, Vincent! *Blushes lightly and giggles.*

Cloud: (Oh great..Get to hear her screaming all night!) *Groans inside his mind, making sure not to show it.*

Vincent: Oh? (Is that what you want again? You had your chance.) Thank you, Yuffie.

Yuffie: It's no problem! The only other free rooms are Rude's and Reno's, oh and Elena's but she'll be up studying!

Vincent: Do you need anything while we're at your place?

Zack: Oh, no...I can't let you buy stuff for us... (It would kill Reno's pride!)

Cloud: You sure, we don't mind! You're being nice enough to let us stay, it's the least we can do.. Yuffie: Yeah! It's just enough to have you guys staying with us!

Vincent: Alright...I'll go to a corner store after you guys are dropped off.

Cloud: We'll just get stuff for us, so we don't take anything of yours..

Vincent: *He whispers to Cloud.* Don't worry about it...I'll go so you can be alone with Zack.

Cloud: *Whispers back.* Thanks, Vince...Why don't you get some cigrettes to, maybe that will help you win Reno over..

Vincent: Yeah...I know...

Cid drops off the group at Zack's house. Cloud gets out of the car with Zack and goes inside with him. Vincent stays inside the car until everyone leaves the car and tells Cid to drop him off at the nearest store. Reno and Elena return to their rooms to sleep while Zack quietly shows Cloud around the house before he takes Cloud to his room.

Cloud: Thanks again for letting us stay, Zack.. I don't think I would of made it to the hotel.. *Still blushes as they enter Zack's room.* Your house is..nice and homey..

Zack: I try to keep it nice. It's hard when four other people live here besides me.

Cloud: It is nice! I didn't mean to insult you! (Crap! It's just..they're in a really bad part of town..He's to handsome to live here..) I like all the writing on the walls..

Zack: *He chuckles and plops down on the edge of his bed.* You're not insulting me. The writing on the walls is from Reno. If he has an idea for a song and he can't find paper, he uses the walls.

Cloud: That's cool, I wish I had a place where I could write my music on.. *Shyly stand next to Zack, not knowing what to do.* (DO I sit down with him? If I do will he think I want sex?! I mean.. I would like to but I don't think I'm ready to go all the way!)

Zack: You're acting like a stranger, sit down. There's the bed, or you can sit in the armchair in the corner.

Cloud: *His face goes red as he sits down next to Zack on the bed, embarassest.* Y-you have a nice bed.. It's soft.

Zack: Thank you. Why are you so nervous? *He places his hand on Cloud's shoulder.*

Cloud: I..I *Shivers at Zack's touch, his body moves closer to Zack without him knowing.* I'm socially awkward as Vince would say.. I'm not sure what to do when there's someone I like.. *Plays with his jacket again.*

Zack: (He likes me? I'm trying not to wolf whistle at him right now.) Oh...I take it we hit it off pretty well, then?

Cloud: I..I thought so.. *Shyly looks over at Zack.* I didn't want you to leave, I drank all those shots so you wouldn't even thou I was already drunk.

Zack: I wouldn't have left if you didn't drink the shots. Although, it was fun drinking with you.

Cloud: I told you, I have no idea w-what I'm doing.. I'm acting when on stage, I'm..I'm not that confident.. *Blushes* It was, I'd like to do it again sometime!

Zack: (He really is shy...I have to take this slow.) You can do whatever you want. (I hope he wants to talk more...)

Cloud: C-can we lay on your bed a-and talk? I'd like to know about you..*Manages to meet Zack's eyes, getting lost in them and softly mumbles to himself.* Not purple...

Zack: Hm? Yeah... *He lays on the bed, supporting himself with his elbows. He manages to take a good look at Cloud's body.* (Perfect...)

Cloud: *His blush deepens when he feels Zack's eyes on him, slowly lays down on his side next to Zack.* Um..H-how old are you?

Zack: I'm twenty-three. *He notices Cloud beginning to sweat with flushed cheeks.* You must be dying in that jacket.

Cloud: N-no, I'm okay! I..I just sweat when I'm nervous.. You don't look like it..I thought you were eighteen!

Zack: I hope I don't look that young. *He laughs hard and turns on his side to face Cloud. He flips his hair slightly and subtly to draw in Cloud's eyes.*

Cloud: *Blushes harder, swayed by Zack's laugh.* You have a really nice laugh.. *Plays with the blanket on the bed.* Do you have brothers or sisters?

Zack: *He smiles slightly at Cloud.* I am lucky... (I have my crush in my bed...and I know he is attracted to me. That is why I'm lucky...)

Cloud: I never had a dad.. He left when he found out my Ma was pregnant with me.. When I was ten she meet my step-dad, he didn't like me but I came with the package when he married her.. She died of breast cancer a few years later... *Looks down.* (I've never told anyone that.. Other then Vince..)

Zack: (Damn, he must think I'm an ass for saying that I'm lucky.) I-I'm sorry.

Cloud: It's okay, I've done my mourning and I know how luck I am to have a mom who loved me as much as she did.. Some kids don't have that.. *Looks over, smiles softly at Zack.* I donate alot of my money to breast cancer so no one else loses a loved one..

Zack: (He has a good heart...) That's a good cause. *He reaches out and brushes his fingers against Cloud's hand.*

Cloud: *Gasps as he feels Zack touch him, goose bumps cover his arms as his face turns red again.* Yyeah.. I..Hhave you have a boyfriend before? Oor girlfriend?

Zack: I've had a few partners before...I've...heard that you're a virgin.

Cloud: *Blushes hard, plays with his jacket and begins to stutter.* Y-y-yeah..I..I've n-never had a-a boyf-friend bef-fore.. I-I was saving m-myself for the..the o-one I love..

Zack: *His eyes smile at Cloud.* Do I make you that nervous? *He gently strokes the palm of Cloud's hand with his thumb.*

Cloud: *Shudders at Zack's touch, blushes harder.* Y-yeah, and p-people make f-fun of me f-f-or it.. S-saying I should g-get it o-over with..

Zack: That's your choice. *He moves very close to Cloud, close enough to feel Cloud's nervous breath on his skin.*

Cloud: I-I wwant to-to ggive everyt-thing to h-him.. *His breathing increases the closer Zack gets, lightly shakes as he feels the warmth from Zack's body.* I..I haven't s-s-tuttered in-in y-years...

Zack: Do you want me to back off? Does being this close to me scare you?

Cloud: I-I d-don't think I-I'm ready f-for sex b-but I..I d-don't w-want you t-to leave..*Shyly places a hand on Zack's chest.*

Zack: Do you mean...penetration or any form of sex? I wasn't going to ask you to have sex with me, not unless you want to. *He winks playfully.*

Cloud: I-I-I..O-okay wwith..o-oral aand..h-andj-jobs.. But n-not for..you k-know.. *Blushes harder, licks his lips as he meets Zack's eyes.* (Oh, I got that...I wonder if he'll think it's to soon.. I don't want to scare he away oor make him think I'm a freak with that!)

Zack: I'll do anything you want. (I don't want to start removing his clothes. He's not ready for it. I won't start anything unless he gives me a blatant clue.*

Cloud: Y-you don't m-mind waiting for m-me? *His hand grips Zack's shirt, shyly feeling Zack's chest.* (He feels really fit.. I wonder how his chest looks..)

Zack: Yes, it's your choice Cloud. I'll wait for you to make the move.

Cloud: (He's so nice..And amazing!) C-can I kiss y-you? *His whole body turns red as sweat drips from his face.*

Zack: Kiss me? You don't have to ask. *He pulls Cloud in for a quick, sweet kiss, just enough to give Cloud a taste of what is to come.*

Cloud: *Moans softly at the kiss, wraps his arms tightly around Zack.* Wow...T-that was..wow... *A smile covers his face, his eyes filled in happiness.*

Zack: Was that too early? *He smiles at Cloud's reaction to the kiss.*

Cloud: N-no, no! I..Tthat was my f-first kiss.. *Looks down, too embarrassed to look into Zack's eyes.* (He must think I'm a sad human being! I've never even had a kiss!)

Zack: Your first? How about a second? Or a third? *He tilts Cloud's chin up and slowly leans in, wanting to prepare Cloud for more kisses.*

Cloud: No..no one's really.. Yes, please! *Licks his lips again, shyly moving closer to Zack.* (I don't want him to stop, I want to taste him!)

Zack: *He presses his thumb against Cloud's lips.* They're soft... *He takes Cloud in his arms and gently kisses him.*

Cloud: Mmm..*Kisses back, not quite sure what to do. Holds on tighter to Zack, rubbing his back as he moans into the kiss.* Zack...

Zack: Yes? Are you alright? You're overheating... *He kisses Cloud harder and slowly unzips Cloud's jacket.*

Cloud: Don't! *Reaches down and grabs Zack's hands.* I..I don't h-have a shirt o-on.. *Blushes hard.* Aand you k-kiss really good..

Zack: I'm sorry. (Wow...strict boundaries. Now I want to know even more what's under that jacket. O'well...I don't think he plans on wearing it all night.) Do you want me to keep going?

Cloud: D-don't be.. I..I.. I'm s-shy about my b-body.. What if you don't l-like it? *Choses his eyes.* Yes, p-please kiss me ag-gain..

Zack: *He gently rubs Cloud's thighs as he leans in for another string of lustfull kisses. He jolts as the silence is broken by the doorbell ringing.* (Damn, I wish Vincent would have been gone longer.)

Cloud: Ohh..*Moans softly at the rubs, pouts when he hears the door bell.* Damn it, Vince..*Sighs as he rests his forehead against Zack's.* We better get the door before he wakes everyone up..

Zack: Yeah, I'll get it for him. I'll be right back. *He smiles and gives Cloud a loving peck on his cheek before he rushes out of the room and down the stairs to open the door for Vincent. His eyes grow wide as he sees Vincent enter the house with numerous grocery bags hanging off of each of Vincent's arms.* (How are we going to pay him back? Reno's going to be pissed.) Welcome back.

Cloud: *Follows after Zack, sees Vincent with bags.* (Damn it, Vince..I want to help them to, but he said no..Why can't you ever listen!) Had fun shopping, Vince? *Asks Vincent, his face still flushed from his kisses with Zack.*

Vincent: *He nods as he begins to stock the empty refrigerator with the perishables.* I'm having Cid bring in the beer we didn't drink from the hotel too.

Cloud: They said not to buy anything, Vincent.. *Walks over and grabs Vincent's shoulder, forgetting his jacket is now undone.* I know you mean good, but...

Zack: No...I mean...I'm okay with it, but Reno...*His thoughts trail off from being thankful for the help.*

Vincent: Yes, I know. *He closes the refrigerator and begins to put away the canned goods he bought.*

Cloud: You can deal with him then, Vince..You know you'd act the same way if he did something like this to you..

Vincent: No, I would not. *He opens the door for Cid and helps him with the beer he and Cloud did not finish off.* Do you want a drink Zack?

Zack: Yeah, I guess... *He takes a few of the six packs and puts them away before picking out two bottles, one for him, and one for Cloud.* I'm...going upstairs. (and to get out of Reno's way if he comes downstairs.)

Cloud: *Sighs.* You would and you know it..I'm going to go up with Zack.. Yuffie's room is at the end of the hall..

Vincent: *He nods and heads upstairs once everything is put away.* Oh, thank you Cid for bringing in the beer.

Cid: Welcome, and I think i'm gonna sleep on the couch, don't feel to safe stayin' outside.. *Takes his shoes off and lays down on the couch.*

Vincent: *He nods as he walks up the stairs to Yuffie's room. He knocks softly and waits for Yuffie to open the door.*

Yuffie: *Runs over to the door, quickly opening it. Showing off her sexy little red teddy.* Vincent, you're back!

Vincent: (Oh...why do I find her almost unbearable now?) *He steps into Yuffie's room and gently closes the door.* I stocked the refrigerator...

Yuffie: Oh, Reno's going to be so pissed at you when he finds out! *Giggles as she walks back to her queen sized bed.*

Vincent: I bought a carton of cigarettes for him too...I left them sitting by the refrigerator. *He quickly lays down on Yuffie's bed.* Finally, a real bed...

Yuffie: That won't matter, it's a pride thing for him! *Crawls over to Vincent, moving on top of him.* I love my bed.. It was either this one or the twin here and no way I was taking that one!

Vincent: (She wants to have sex with me...) I...know you must want to have sex with me, but I've had a long day. *He stares at the quilted stitches on Yuffie's comforter.* I'm...sorry.

Yuffie: Oh! Of course, I understand! Don't worry, It happens! *Rolls off of Vincent and gets under her blankets.* Come under, it's warm!

Vincent: *He slides under the blankets and lays near Yuffie. He yawns and almost instantly begins to drift off into sleep.*

Yuffie: *Curls up under next to Vincent, holding him tightly.* (He's mine for the night! And we can have morning sex! It's the best!) *Quickly falls asleep.*

A few hours into the night, Vincent gets up to use the bathroom and get a drink of water. While urinating, he hears a sudden gasp for air and a short, sudden yelp.

Vincent: What the hell?

Reno: Nno, no..come..back! Nooo! *Rolls on the floor, having rolled off his bed during a nightmare.*

Vincent: *He slowly opens the door to Reno's room to see if he's hurt. He sees Reno on the ground and quickly turns the lights on to investigate.*

Reno: Noooooooo! *Screams himself awake, groans at the bright light and quickly closes his eyes. Tears falling down his face as he tries to catch his breath, still affected by the nightmare.* (Fuck..It happened again..)

Vincent: Are you alright? *He begins to bend down to help Reno off of the floor.*

Reno: *Quickly wipes his eyes and looks up to see Vincent.* (Fuck! Now he's seen me at my weakest...) I'm fine, I didn't fall far yo. What are ya doin' here anyway? *Sits down on his twin sized mattress on the floor.*

Vincent: Zack allowed Cloud and I to stay the night. I was in the bathroom and I heard you yelling.

Reno: Course he did yo.. Well, ya check on me and I'm fine, just do what everyone else does and ignore if I make noise. (Not that I'll fall asleep again yo..) *Runs his hands though his hair, getting out the tangles.*

Vincent: Sorry for intruding... *He heads out of Reno's room and back to the bathroom to finish what he started.*

Reno: Fuck, I need a cig.. *Get out of his bed and heads out of his room, going down to get himself a glass of Milk. Hears loud snores coming from the couch and sighs.* (There goes watchin' TV yo!) *Walks into the kitchen and grabs a glass, goes to the fridge and sees a pack of cigarettes and scoffs.* (Like that's gonna win me over, ya ass!) *Opens the fridge and gasps at the sight, slams it closed and stomps up the stairs.* (That fuckin' jerk!)

Vincent: (Here he comes...) *He braces himself for Reno's tirade as he washes his hands in the sink.*

Reno: *Walks into the bathroom closing the door behind him.* What the fuck yo?! Ya think you can buy everyone's love?! We were fuckin' fine!

Vincent: Sorry... *He continues to wash his hands in the sink and wipes them off with a towel.* It was the least I could do. If you don't want any of it, I'll take back the food tomorrow.

Reno: No, ya do that and you really are an ass! We don't need ya help, we were doin' fine before you got here and we'll do fine after you leave!

Vincent: Fine... (Why can't he just accept a gift?) *He tries to exit the bathroom, but Reno continues to block the way.*

Reno: What do ya want from us? Why is someone famous like you hangin' with the slum rats yo?! I swear if ya hurt any of my friends, they'll never find ya body!

Vincent: I don't want to hurt anyone. You don't even know me...

Reno: You're a fake.. You've stopped lovin' the music yo! Ya let them change what you sing, you used to be good, now ya changed ta get the teeny bopper!

Vincent: Do you think I enjoyed the change? If you would have stayed inside the concert, you would have noticed that I do not edit my music.

Reno: Fight it! Don't let them do it yo! And sorry, I was pissed and needed ta cool off, my life isn't as easy as yours!

Vincent: My life isn't easy. I have fought hard for years with my record company, you can ask Cloud. They wanted to drop us. If you have a computer, look up our performances in Japan, and you'll see the difference.

Reno: Yeah, it's right next ta my big screen TV yo! I don't have the luxuries to get one! I'm payin' for your lil' girlfriend cause she won't get a real job!

Vincent: I don't want to keep fighting with you. Now, stop blocking my way.

Reno: I don't feel like movin' yo.. *Stand there, his arms crossed.*

Vincent: Fine... *He walks over to the bathtub and lays down inside the tub, waiting for Reno to let him pass.*

Reno: *Smirks.* I can stand for hours yo, I've had lots of practice.. (Those punishments were good for somethin' yo..)

Vincent: Why won't you let me leave?

Reno: This is fun yo, and I'm not gonna fall back ta sleep and your driver is takin' the TV so I gotta do something.

Vincent: (I'll just sleep here...Why can't he just be thankful for kindness? This...will be my inspiration for a new song.) *He sighs as he slowly begins to fall asleep inside the bathtub.*

Reno: *Chuckles softly as he sees Vincent starting to fall asleep.* (I'd love ta keep him here, but I'd never hear the end of it..) Go back ta bed yo. *Opens the door and walks out, heading to his room.*

Vincent: *He ignores Reno's voice from being in such a deep sleep that he can't wake up. He curls into a fetal position inside the bathtub to get comfortable.*

Rude wakes up early the next morning. Heads to the bathroom to do his morning business, walks in and sees the Vincent Valentine in the tub. Goes over to the sleeping man and gently shakes his shoulders.

Rude: Hey...

Vincent: Hm? *He is suddenly jolted awake by the dark skinned man shaking him.*

Rude: I'm sorry to wake you, but I need to use this room...Why don't you go sleep in my bed? You will be alone in there...

Vincent: Thank you. *He rubs his eyes and stretches his body and leaves the bathroom to sleep in the empty room the man told him about.*

Rude: You're welcome and don't take it to heart...Reno has been though alot the past few weeks.. *Sighs as he watches the man leave, does his business before he walks to Reno's room. Seeing the light from under the door.* (He had another nightmare..) *Walks in.)

Reno: *Mumbles to himself as he writes on the one of the only clear spots on his walls.*

Rude: I'm assuming there's a reason why Vincent was asleep in the bathroom. *He speaks in quiet tone, not wanting to interrupt Reno's song writing.*

Reno: Huh? I told 'im ta go back to bed, I guess he didn't hear me yo. *Says as he keeps writing, sticking his other hand moving as if he were playing the notes to the song.*

Rude: How did he end up sleeping in the bathroom in the first place?

Reno: He had to pee, we talked. I decided to play a game and block his way, but I stopped cause I know I'd be bitched at!

Rude: Well, he's sleeping in my room now. I don't know if he's awake yet. I'm going to leave soon after I use the bathroom...

Reno: Alright, I'll be here.. If I'm done when your done with your shower, we can eat yo.

Rude: We can do that. But...I know you probably haven't been very nice to Vincent, I think you should apologies.

Reno: Aww, do I hav' ta yo? *Pouts as he writes.*

Rude: Yes...you do. If not, I'll drag you in there. *He adjusts his sunglasses and walks back into the bathroom.*

Reno: Uggh... Ya ruined it, Rudy! *Pouts as he sets his permanent marker down, his writing zone lost. Huffs as he walks to Rude's room and goes in.* You still awake yo?

Reno: I'm sorry for makin' you sleep in the tub, I did leave but I guess you were already asleep..

Vincent: It's alright...I'm on the road a lot...So I'm used to sleeping in awkward places.

Reno: We cool? Well, as cool as we can be yo.. *Leans against the door frame.*

Vincent: That depends on you... *He stares at Reno with suspicion.* Someone made you do this...

Reno: Rude would of dragged me in here..But I guess I do feel a little bad for makin' ya sleep there.. If it make ya feel any better, Rude broke my writin' zone yo!

Vincent: Not really...I'm not here to disturb you or throw off your routine.

Reno: It's not a routine, I write when it comes to me and usually when I can't sleep.. *Sighs, scratches his head.* Look, if ya hungry Rude and me are gonna go eat.. So..

Vincent: Are...you asking me if I'm hungry?

Reno: Ya stayin' here, and I'm just being a good host yo! If your not then just go back ta sleep. *Turns and starts to walk away.*

Vincent: *He slowly gets up and rubs his chest as he feels a slight pain.* (I should stop drinking so much...) *He adjusts his shirt and follows Reno downstairs.* (And he's going to eat the food I bought for him.)

Reno: (I don't want to use his food.. But I don't have the money to go to the diner yo..) *Walks in and opens the fridge, pulling out eggs, butter, milk, and sausage. Sings to himself.*

Someone show me a way to get

outa here,

'cause I constantly pray I'll get

outa here

Please, won't somebody say I'll get

outa here

Someone gimme my shot or I'll

rot here.

Vincent: Little Shop of Horrors, right? *He walks down the stairs and sits at the small kitchen table.*

Reno: Hmm? Yeah, it's my favorite movie yo.. *Puts some butter in a pan before he cracks a egg in.* You've seen it?

Vincent: Yes, I have. *He plays with a single napkin left on the table.*

Reno: Good, or I'd make ya watch it! *Cracks another egg in, flipping them over when their ready.* Poor! All my life I've always been poor.

I keep asking God what I'm for,

and he tells me "Gee, I'm not sure

sweep that floor, kid."

Oh, I started life as an orphan,

a child of the street

Here on skid row.

He took me in, gave me shelter, a bed,

Crust of bread and a job

Treats me like dirt, calls me a slob,

Which I am. *Grabs the sausages and puts them on a plate before he places them in the microwave.*

Vincent: (I'm glad that at least for right now they have food to eat...) Do you need me to do anything?

Reno: No, it's fine.. I usually cook for us anyway yo and I hav' a way of doin' it. *Takes out the done eggs and places them on a plate before he cracks two more in.*

Vincent: Okay... (I don't like sitting here and being useless...)

Reno: *Hums to himself, his hips swaying as to the music in his head as he cooks. Hears the ding of the microwave and takes the sausage, setting it on the table as before he goes back to the eggs.* If you want, ya can make toast I guess..

Vincent: It's alright. I'm not a fan... Eggs are fine.

Reno: Well, Rude likes it..You said ya wanted to help, right yo? *Places the eggs on another plate before he cracks two more into the pan for himself.*

Vincent: It would be better than sitting here with nothing to do.

Reno: Make four slices yo, two covered in jam and the other in butter! *Goes back to humming to himself.*

Vincent: *He nods and stands next to Reno as he removes four pieces of bread from the loaf and puts them in the toaster.* I don't mind cooking...

Reno: I hate doin' it yo! But I have to, Zack and Yuffie burn water and Rude and Elena are to busy to do it... I've always been the one who has ta cook!

Vincent: I enjoy it. But, Cloud always makes me cook. He burns even microwave meals, but he has been better lately.

Reno: I can't wait till I don't have to anymore! *Chuckles as he finishes.* Zack and Cloud are perfect for each other then, they both can't cook! *Finishes his eggs and puts them on his plate, gives each plate three pieces of sausage before he carries them to the table. Pours three glasses of milk as well.*

Vincent: *He takes the two pieces of toast out and spreads butter on the two before putting two more pieces of bread in the toaster.* (Why does he seem to not be bothered by Cloud, but he can't stand me?)

Reno: *Sits down at the table when he hears Rude coming down the stairs.* It's ready, bro!

Rude: Thank you, Reno... *Walks over in his black suit and sits down at the table, taking a drink of his milk before he looks over at Vincent.* And we were not introduced, I'm Rude..

Vincent: Vincent... *He walks up to Rude and holds out his hand to greet Rude.*

Rude: *Shakes Vincent's hand, nodding slightly to him.* I hope your stay hasn't been..that bad.. *Looks over at Reno.*

Reno: What? I said I was sorry yo! And made him food and talked nice! *Pouts as he takes a bite into a sausage.*

Vincent: (Sure...) Don't worry, I'm not bothered. *He walks back over to the toaster as two more pieces of toasted bread pop out. He spreads jam over the two pieces and takes all four pieces of bread to the table.*

Rude: Thank you.. *Grabs the jam covered toast, takes a bite before he cuts into his eggs.* I didn't see Zack's jeep outside..

Reno: Yeah..It broke down yo.. I'm gonna go to the junkyard after work and find what I need ta fix it yo..

Vincent: *He sits down next to Rude and away from Reno, feeling more comfortable with sitting with someone who is calmer. He slowly begins to eat.*

Reno: *Pouts to himself, taking a big bite out of his toast.* (Why doesn't he want to sit next to me yo? I've been nicer like I've been told!)

Rude: No, you will be to tired after work.. You need to come home and get rest after.. *Sighs, knowing Reno probably won't listen to him.*

Vincent: If it's alright...can we stay another night? I am still tired... (Abnormally tired. I think I just drank too much the other night.)

Reno: *Stays quiet, eating his food.* (Why does he wanna stay here?! It's good for Zack, but still!) If we can use your car..

Rude: Yes, stay as long as you need it.. I can say Reno's room so you can have a bed to yourself.. (Maybe then Reno will get a good nights sleep..)

Vincent: Thank you. I'm...just tired. That's all. We don't have another show for a few more days.

Reno: Zack will be happy..He'll not want to go to work yo! *Chuckles softly as he quickly finishes his meal.*

Rude: He will be, but he knows better then to miss work..

Vincent: *He stays quiet, but continues to eat his breakfast.* (Why have I been feeling run down lately?)

Reno: I'm gonna take a shower before I have work yo! I'll see ya when you come home, bro! *Stands up and pats Rude on the back before he heads upstairs, singing to himself again.*

Rude: I hope he listens to me... *Sighs as he eats some of his sausage.*

Vincent: I understand him...Reno became angry at me last night for buying food.

Rude: He has always had his pride, he hates when he has to rely on someone.. Please, do not take how he acts to heart.. He has been thought alot and he's trying to heal..

Vincent: I'm sorry...I shouldn't have...I didn't know it would offend him that much.

Rude: It's alright.. It is over now and I do thank you for it.. He will not admit it but he is in money troubles..

Vincent: I wouldn't have...known. I'm sorry.

Rude: It's alright, we will get though it.. We've lived like this since we were young, we know how to survive..

Vincent: *He slowly finishes his food.* I know, but I shouldn't have interfered. It's...none of my business.

Rude: Your heart was in the right place, Vincent.. I am happy for the food.. But Reno is just upset cause he knows he can't pay you back.. *Finishes his meal and sets his and Reno's dishes in the sink.*

Vincent: Tell him not to worry about paying me back.

Rude: I could tell him every hour and he still will want too.. It's just how he is..*Walks over and grabs his keys of the counter.* Feel free to use my bed again.. Make yourself at home.. *Heads to the front door.*

Vincent: Thank you...*He cleans up the plates left over by Reno, Rude, and himself. and places them in the sink. He heads back upstairs to lay down in Rude's bed.* (I'm...very tired.)
