Word Prompt Drabble #1

Prompt: Introduction

" … And this will be your new partner. I have good faith that you will work well together."

Reno's eyes widened comically as Veld gestured to his 'partner'; the male was tall and broad. The way he stood was very confident, large arms hung at his sides, hands curled into loose fists. Travelling upwards he was met with dark shades covering the males eyes, Reno could not read what the other male was thinking as his face held no emotion.

/Man this guy looks like a heap of fun yo, he also looks like he could crush me with one hand. What is Veld thinking?! /

The redhead was startled out of his thoughts by a smooth baritone voice, "Nice to finally meet you Reno. Rude."

A hand was offered which Reno hesitantly took. He was surprised that the grip wasn't as firm as he expected instead it was rather gentle.

"Err thanks yo… nice t'meet ya."

Rude arched an eyebrow and shot a glance towards Veld. Veld shook his head, which irritated the redhead. /What is this, some secret telepathy?/

"Is there a problem yo? 'Cause I'd rather ya say."

"Rude is questioning your competency." Veld simply replied, slightly amused. Reno shot a look at Rude who didn't look the least bit fazed.

"This true yo?"

"I'm just not sure if you can hack this," then to Veld "Sir if I may, what made you think we could work together?"

"It's quite simple really, you both are opposite sides of a coin, different yet I feel you will compliment each other brilliantly on assignments."

Rude looked skeptical for moment before falling back into his stoic expression. "You know what's best Sir."

Reno was having none of it and angrily spun on the larger man.

"What the hell do you know?! Ya don't know me, I'll show ya. I'll show all of ya. I don't care how big ya are yo…" He ends this with a prod to Rude's solid stomach.

Then the strangest thing happened, or a least in Reno's eyes; the corner of Rude's lips twitch and he lifts his shades to reveal warm caramel eyes that shone with mirth.

"You've got guts, that's a good start. The rest you can prove on the job… partner." The larger man brings his hand down to pat Reno on the shoulder almost knocking the gaping redhead over.

Veld who watched the events unfold with amusement rolled his eyes, "then it's settled. Why don't you two get aquatinted then meet me in my office for your first assignment? You have an hour."

With that the head Turk spins on his heels and leaves a stunned Reno and Rude trying to contain his smirk.
