Work Text:
"Another day, another dollar amiright, partner?" Reno flipped his EMR in the air before collapsing it and stuffing it in his inner jacket pocket.
Rude hummed and fixed his glasses, saying nothing.
Reno looked down at the body in front of them. He gave it a quick kick and folded his arms behind his head, before turning around to walk back to the car, "Hey, wanna grab drinks after we report back to Tseng? My treat."
He made it to the car and went to open the passenger door but it was still locked. Reno gave the handle another tug before groaning in frustration and was getting ready to yell at his partner, but saw Rude staring up at the moon with some weird expression on his face. The red-head looked up at the moon as well to see what was causing the weird expression on his partner's face but only saw it was just a full moon. Nothing strange about it.
"Hey, partner," Reno snapped his fingers. "Partner. Oh yooohoooooo! Baldy! Shiny head! Don't make me bust out the pet names, yo! Rude!" Reno screeched out.
Rude finally snapped out of his stupor and glanced at his partner, "Hm?"
"Unlock the damn car so we can go talk to Bossman and get drinks after."
Rude reached into his pocket and fished out the keys for the car. Reno let out a sigh of relief before noticing something flying towards him and held out a hand to catch the object. It made contact with his palm and he closed his fingers around it. Reno opened his hand to see it was the keys to car. He got to drive? No way. Rude usually never let him drive on the account of his reckless driving. He looked up to say something, but saw his partner walking down the alley from which the dead guy they killed was lying in a pool of his own blood. Uhhhh….
"Hey uh, you're going the wrong way yo. Rude? Rude we gotta-"
"I'm going for a walk, I'll see you at home, partner." Then with that Rude disappeared from view and left Reno to stare after in poorly hidden concern. What the fuck just happened? He went to go follow Rude but a ping from his PHS broke him away from doing just that. Reno pulled it out and saw it was a text from Tseng.
> Status report.
Straight to the point as always.
>> Done, on the way. Rude isn't feeling well, went home early :p :(
Reno didn't wait for Tseng to respond and put his phone in his back pocket. Unlocking the car and sliding into the driver's seat, he cast one last look down the alley where Rude once was but shook his head to clear his mind of worry and drove off towards the Shinra Building.
Reno walked into the office trying (poorly) to hide his concern for partner. All throughout the drive, Reno was trying his best to tell himself that Rude was ok and maybe wasn't actually feeling well like Reno said in his text to Tseng. But, if he wasn't feeling well… wouldn't he have told Reno? After all partners told each other everything. They told each other everything.
"Reno. Report." Tseng greeted when he heard Reno walk in. He didn't even bother looking up form his papers.
Reno walked up to the desk and didn't bother making himself at home on one of the chairs like he usually did. Instead, he stood there and uncharacteristically shuffled his feet while debriefing the mission. Once it was all said and done, Tseng finished signing whatever he had in front of him and looked up at Reno.
"You're jittery. Very unlike you. Does this have to do with Rude?"
"I told you he's just feeling unwell." Reno shrugged.
Tseng stared into his eyes for a moment. Then he looked at his computer screen and his nonchalant attitude faltered for a moment. Reno has never- what's going on? Did Tseng know something? He even asked as much.
"Reno. No matter what you. Do not go home. Do you understand?"
Don't go home? What??
"Excuse me? Why shouldn't I go home?" Reno planted his hands on the desk and leaned in close.
"Listen to me. You just can't. Whats going on with Rude is- your life will be in danger Reno. For once in your life, just listen."
What Reno took from all of that was that Rude was in danger. He needed to get home. Pulling away from the desk and ignoring Tseng's yells of protest, Reno raced out the door and threw himself down the emergency stairwell. Booking it to the garage, he found someone getting on their bike and grabbed them by the back of the collar and threw them off. The person yelled at him but Reno threw his legs over the bike, revved the engine and sped out of the garage.
He probably broke a couple speed limits trying to get to his and Rude's shared apartment but he didn't give a flying fuck. He may have also sped through some red lights but what were they going to do… arrest him?? Don't make him laugh!
Sliding to a stop in the garage park under their apartment building, Reno killed the engine and snatched the keys out of the engine. He proceeded to take the stairs as taking the elevator would take longer and he needed to get to Rude NOW. He made it to their floor and when he stopped in front of their door, his hands shook as he tried getting the key in the lock.
"Please be ok. Please be ok. Please if there is a god…" Reno pleaded. The door finally opened and Reno threw himself in and slammed the door shut.
"Rude!! Baby! Where are you?"
No reply came back. Reno's eyes frantically scanned the apartment and what he observed had him reaching for his EMR in his pocket. The couch was in complete dissaray and its cushions were torn open, exuding stuffing. Vases and picture frames lay broken on the floor with the glass looking like it was stepped on. And then there were the walls… it looked like there were claw marks? What-?
A low growl emitted from deep within their apartment.
Reno pressed the button on the EMR to turn it on and he almost went to go follow the noise but he had seen enough horror movies to know that was the fastest way to get killed. He stood by the door waiting for whatever growled to approach him.
THUD!
There was another growl and a clicking of what Reno presumed were nails.
The noises got louder as it got closer and Reno would never admit it, a bead of sweat rolled down the side of his face.
"Partner…?" Reno whispered.
A large furry shape emerged from the doorway. It was on all fours for a moment before its amber eyes zeroed in on Reno. The creature proceeded to stand on its two back legs and let out another growl. Reno was not starting to shake. He has been in worse and much more dangerous situations before. This was nothing. Except his partner could be lying dead in a pool of his own blood in the bedroom and the thing responsible for that was about to do the same thing to him.
Fuck no.
Rude wouldn't want him to go out like a pussy. He would want Reno to avenge him.
With that in mind, Reno steeled himself and pointed his weapon towards the creature, "Listen here, you little shit. I can forgive you trashing my home, yo. But killing my partner?? That's an offense that deserves more than just killing you…" He paused for a moment and readied himself. "I'm going to skin you alive and use your fur for my next rug." With that, Reno charged and took a swing at the creature.
The hit never landed. The creature grabbed his outstretched arm with one clawed hand and held him up in the air before throwing him in the bedroom on the bed. Reno's head briefly made contact with the headboard hard and everything went white for a moment. He shook his head to get his bearings and went to sit up but a heavy weight trapped him. A warm huff of breath cascaded over Reno's face and he went to turn his face away but a clawed hand grabbed him by the jaw and forced him to look upon the creature.
The creature's body was very fluffy but there was dark tan skin showing in other places that weren't as covered. The thing's stomach was not as fluffy and showcased off a well chiseled stomach and perfectly toned abs… and then that left the face. Reno's eyes scanned upwards and what he saw left him gasping.
"R-Rude?" His hands shakily reached out to grab the creature's- no, Rude's face in his hands. Instead of his perfectly bald and handsome face, his face was… animalistic. His nose was pushed up high and wasn't protruding as much as if he was in his human form, which wasn't that a thought that was making Reno's head spin. His head was littered with dark brown fur like the rest of his body and his cheeks and chin had barely any visible skin showing. Wait a minute…
"Where's your beard in this form?" Reno asked.
Rude growled at him.
"Yeesh take it easy. It's an important question, yo! Which speaking of whatcha packing- WOAH!" Reno's thighs were gripped in clawed hands and his legs were pulled to the sides so Rude could nestle in between them and make himself right at home. Reno went to wrap his legs around his partner and leered at him. Staring at him from under his scarlet eyelashes, he wrapped his arms around Rude's neck and brought him close. He then proceeded to roll his hips and what he felt had his eyebrows shooting up.
"Baby, I'm not sure that's going to fit. And that's saying a lot coming from me and…"
Rude didn't care. He proceeded to tear off Reno's pants and clawed up his underwear. Reno's dick sprung free, already getting hard. Any protests died on his tongue. That really shouldn't have aroused him as much as it did. He looked back up at Rude and saw his pupils were fully dilated. Any sliver of the amber-brown in his partner's eyes were barely shown.
"Skipping the foreplay and immediately going for the prize aren't ya, partner?" Reno purred.
Rude responded back in kind by taking his dick in his mouth. A scrape of his fangs over a vein had Reno throwing his head back and shouting in pleasure. Rude slide his cock in and out of his mouth at an animalistic pace, and gave puppy licks to the head. His tongue darted out to lick the underside of Reno's shaft, before moving back up and playfully biting head. Reno went to grab Rude by the scruff and pulled, causing Rude to snarl and bite down hard on the inner side of Reno's thigh!!
"Shit! That hurts, yo!"
Reno was by no means averse to biting during sex. No sir. In fact, he loved it when he got bitten and did the biting himself. But when the teeth in question that are doing the biting are sharp and pointy as fuck, then that's where he drew the line. For now.
Rude shot him a quick look that screamed 'that's what you get' before proceeding to lick the wound. While he was doing that, Reno drew attention to the aching red hardness between his partner's fluffy thighs. Moving one leg away from where it was wrapped around Rude's waist, he reached down with his foot and started rubbing Rude's erection with it. Between his toes, he captured the head and with a mischevious glint in his eyes, pulled. Rude pulled away from his ministrations and howled in what Reno could only hope was pleasure. The red-head stopped tugging on Rude's cock and went back to rubbing his foot up and down it, with his other foot now joining as well. Rude panted like and growled throughout it all. He unclasped his hands from where they spread Reno's thighs apart and slammed them down beside his partner's head. Reno smiled at his partner's debauched expression and doubled his efforts to get him to cum. It took a couple more minutes of rubbing up and down the shaft for Rude to finally let out a low roar and throw his head back as his cock twitched and a string of pearly white cum shot out. Some made it on Reno's feet and some made it down on the sheets below them.
Reno unlatched himself from Rude and holding his gaze with his partner, brought his foot up to his mouth and licked where Rude's spend landed.
"Holy shit…" Reno moaned. It tasted… oh Shiva's tits.
Reno went to lick some more up but Rude grabbed his arms and held them above his head and slammed his hips in between Reno's thighs. He moaned out in pleasure as Rude kept repeating the action over and over, rutting wildly.
"Baby… Rude… I don't- AH! think I'm gonna- oh do that again~" Reno rambled.
At some point, Rude reached down and wrapped his clawed hand around Reno's cock and started to jerk him off without abandon. Reno let out a pleasured wail before his body seized and his vision went white. He came (heh) to after what felt like hours and the ringing in his ears slowly died away. His stomach started to tickle and he looked down to see Rude licking away at the cum lying there.
Reno tiredly reached up and went to rub Rude behind the ears, causing the other's back leg to start kicking.
"Such… a puppy…" Was the last thing he said before he passed out.
"I didn't hurt you, did I?"
"Hurt me?? Psssh please it takes a lot to hurt me." Reno rubbed aimless shapes on Rude's bare chest.
"I vaguely remember biting-"
Reno pressed a finger to Rude's lips and shushed him.
"I enjoyed it, partner. Really. Now," Reno laid his head down on his partner's chest and closed his eyes, "back to sleep, keeping up with your supernatural libido took a lot out of me."
Rude snorted in amusement and pressed a kiss to the top of Reno's head, wrapping his arms around the redhead.
"Wanna do it again when it's the next-" Rude started.
"Without question."
