Hungover

Fandom: Final Fantasy VII

Teaser: "To my absolute horror, I watched him climb the steps to reach the same balcony we were on. I finished the bottle of bourbon quickly.
'What would you like, sir?' the waiter asked politely.
'Just bring me vodka. The bottle,' I returned curtly as Tseng walked up to Elena."

Inspiration/Prompt: "Tell me how I ended up in a movie theater alone with a bottle of Smirnoff and a bendy straw!"
Inspirational Music: "For Your Entertainment" – Adam Lambert.

Rating: M

Warnings:
-Excessive alcohol
-Partial nudity
-Embarrassing situations
-BDSM clubs
-OOC
-Author's own take on architecture

Main Pairing: Tseng/Reno

Minor Pairings Mentioned:
-Elena/OC
-Rufus/Reeve
-a few other OC pairings

Setting: AU

POV: Reno, since I *will* make him suffer! And a little Tseng to torment Reno properly!

Summary: Reno has certainly had it rough: celibate for three months, dragged to BDSM clubs on a nightly basis, and dealing with a bitchy blond. But one night with a hell of a lot of alcohol has made it much, much worse. As soon as he finds his phone, he's gonna let Elena have it!

Additional ANs: I have modified Elena and Reno's relationship: she's pretty much his best friend. However, I have tried to stay as true to the characters as possible. I've also made him rather close with Reeve, as well. It amuses me to do so, plus, this is AU, so I totally can ^^

It's alright
You'll be fine
Baby, I'm in control
Take the pain
Take the pleasure
I'm the master of both
Close your eyes
Not your mind
Let me into your soul
I'ma work it 'til you're totally blown

Reno:

The first thing I noticed when I woke up this morning was that my head hurt.

It's never a good thing when I wake up with a headache. It usually means I've been doing a little too much partying and my boss is gonna kick my ass if I snip at him because of it.

But it's even worse when I wake up and realize I'm not in my bedroom.

Perhaps the worst thing is that I just realized I know exactly where I am: in the back of a fucking movie theater.

Where's my phone?

I pat down my pants pockets to look for it, only to discover that I'm not wearing any.

Oh, God, this is not good.

I tried to remember what had happened the night before. Large portions of the memories were there, unbroken, but there were also gaps. I remembered getting home from work. Then there were a couple of missing hours before I remembered Elena invading my apartment.

The events played like a 3-D movie in my mind.

When I initially posted this fic, I posted it all in once piece. As I am doing some revision on all of my stories, I thought about this thoroughly: this story makes better sense with a defined separation between reality and memories, so I will separate it all into chapters. Please don't mind the in-progress mess ^^
