Summary: Reno and Cloud are bored on a Sunday afternoon.

Disclaimer: I don't own the characters, Square Enix does....

Reno bounced happily up the wooden steps and pressed the buzzer. Delighted at the round of profanities that followed, he pressed it again, and again. The swearing was quite loud now, much to Reno's amusement. The door opened harshly, "What the fuck do- Oh, it's you." Cloud rolled his eyes and stepped aside, holding the door open for the grinning redhead to pass. "Hi!" Reno greeted, before continuing on into the lounge room and stretching out on the sofa.

"Hey" Cloud replied, sitting on the opposite couch, picking up the book that Reno had interrupted him reading. Reno frowned, "You're not going to read that all day, are you? It's Sunday afternoon!"

Cloud glanced up, "And?"

Reno looked shocked, "Sunday is the day to make the most of the weekend before school! Come on, let's go somewhere!"

Cloud placed his book on the coffee table and leaned back, sighing, "Fine, where?"

Reno thought for a moment, "The mall?"

"No." Cloud hated crowds; they were too noisy, too pushy. Sometimes he wondered why he had Reno as a best friend, considering how noisy and pushy he, too, could get.

"The beach?"

"No." Beaches were Cloud's worst nightmare. He burned easily, which meant every day after going to the beach he would turn a brighter red than Reno's hair.

"…The park?"

Cloud raised an eyebrow, "What are we, like, five?"

Reno pouted, "It's not my fault you don't like going anywhere normal!" Cloud just shrugged his shoulders, closing his eyes.

The next few minutes passed in silence. Cloud opened his eyes to find Reno watching him intently. Cloud frowned, "What?"

Reno blinked as he was pulled out of his daydreams, "Oh, nothing, it's just… you look so cute when you're lying back like that."

Cloud's eyes widened, "Wh- What!?"

"You were like a little baby chocobo." Reno added, diverting his eyes to the TV, where small figures were running around a soccer field.

Cloud pouted, "I'm not a chocobo!"

Reno stood up and walked towards the door, ruffling Cloud's blonde spikes as he passed. "Of course you aren't, you just look like one."

Cloud huffed and followed him to the door. "Where are we going to go?" he asked.

Reno just smirked as he opened his car door, "You'll see!"

Cloud narrowed his eyes as he got into the passenger side of the old Holden, "We'd better not be going anywhere I hate." He threatened.

"Nope," Reno replied, "I think you'll like it where we're going!" Reno started up the engine on the second try, and backed out of the driveway.

The car ride passed in silence, Cloud gazing out the window, and Reno switching between gazing at Cloud's angelic face and concentrating on his driving.

"We're here!" Reno announced suddenly, turning off the engine.

Cloud glanced around, before looking incredulously at Reno, "Your house?" he asked.

"Yep!" Reno replied, "My house is way better than yours!"

Cloud seemed shocked, "How so?"

"Well," Reno started, opening his door and stepping out, "I have a play station, and a computer, and a trampoline! You can't get much better than that!" He announced, with a note of finality.

Cloud sighed, "Ok, whatever." He stepped out of his side, following Reno to the front door. Reno held the door open for Cloud, who made his way up the stairs to Reno's room, and sat silently on the bed. Reno walked in after him, and sat on the floor, reaching for the CD player remote. He pressed 'play', filling the room with the soft beat of a band foreign to Cloud.

Cloud looked around the room, noticing Reno's empty fish tank. "Where's Snowball?" He asked, referring to Reno's absent goldfish.

Reno looked up at Cloud, his eyes filling with tears, "He- he died," he replied, "I found him floating this morning."

Cloud moved down onto the floor and wrapped his arms around the sobbing redhead, "I'm sorry." He said, as Reno leant into his shoulder. After a moment, Cloud pressed his face into Reno's spiky hair. "Wow… his hair is really soft," he thought "… and it smells like strawberries. I wonder what he would look like with it down…" Cloud began reaching for the thin black band. "Wait? I shouldn't be thinking this, he's my friend!" Cloud scolded himself, pulling away from Reno.

Reno lifted his head, looking up at Cloud accusingly. Cloud gazed back, blue eyes meeting green. A moment passed, before their lips met. Reno's tongue traced over Cloud's lips, seeking entrance, which Cloud granted. Cloud's back hit the floor as Reno dominated his mouth. Reno entwined a hand in Cloud's soft spikes, reaching with his other hand to the bottom of Cloud's shirt, slipping it under.

Cloud flinched as a cool hand ran over his chest. "What am I doing?" He thought, "No, I shouldn't be doing this… I shouldn't be enjoying this!" He jumped up, forcing Reno off of him. He ran out and down the stairs, fleeing the house before Reno could even comprehend what had happened.

"Cloud!" Reno called. Scrambling to his feet, he ran after him. "Cloud!" He called again, as he reached the front door. Seeing no sign of the blonde, he sank to his knees.

"Cloud…" He whispered into the empty breeze.
