(( Be selfish, dammit! It's because they're fun to torment but you still want them to have a happy ending.........someday? XD ))
"I'm sure it would be wonderful." His words were barely audible. I just don't want you to end up dead, or worse. Considering whom he was speaking with, that would be a funny thing to say aloud. Not that Reno was the type to allow being a Turk to result in his own death, but perhaps being one made him think he could 'handle it.'
But he had been through this before. Maybe Reno was different, he didn't know. But the demon wasn't too young that he be blinded by idealism and he had no one else to worry about getting hurt. And he already knew about Val's past. For some reason it just was not bothering him like it always bothered others. Perhaps all Reno really needed was the ability to duck out of the way...
He had risen to his feet a moment or two ago, caught up in indecision. Could they really be happy? Was it too much to hope for? Maybe it wasn't... at least for the time being. He sat down again, this time next to Reno. "All right... let's try."

((Well of course we want them to be happy. As fun as they are angsty (is that a word?) they are also fun when happy.))
Reno watched the angel get to his feet. He could almost see the wheels turning in the others head. He kept his mouth closed and held his breath. Would this go the way he wanted? He didn't want to hurt anymore but if Val said no he'd have to let him go.
When Val sat next to him he figured it was time to breath again. Blue might be his color but there was such a thing as too much. Almost afraid he reached out and lightly brushed the back of Val's hand with his fingers, "Are ya sure? I don't want ta push ya into something ya don't want."
Even as he asked the question something in his mind was saying over and over, Please, say yes. please, Please, PLEASE say yes!!

(( Pretty sure it's a word... though how recent it is may be another story! xD ))
The angel looked down at their hands. No, he was not sure... But he knew what he wanted. Usually he was better at squelching that part of himself. But Reno wanted to try too, despite everything. That changed things. As selfish as Val thought he was, he wanted to consider Reno too.
He smiled faintly, flipping over his hand so that he could lace his fingers with Reno's. Then by way of an answer, he looked up again to gaze into his pleading blue eyes and kissed him tenderly.

((*melts at the cuteness*))
Reno was rather shocked by Val's reaction. He was expecting more brooding. He was dealing with the king of the brooders afterall. Then again he had no problems with the angels response. Leaning into the gentle kiss he almost purred in pleasure. Pulling away slowly he gave the angel a real smile, "Nice answer."

(( Oh no! They're ruining each other's images! Dx ))
"Think so?" He gave Reno's hand a little squeeze. "I figured you might not believe me if I just said yes."

((Only while they're alone. Maybe when they're with others they'll go back to being a brooder and a brat.))
Chuckling softly he brushed his fingers over Val's chin then leaned forward so that their lips were almost touching, "Tell me yes again?" he murmured softly.

(( You probably won't need to worry about that. What an odd couple though...at least superficially. xD ))
Val almost teased him: What if I don't want to? But he did want to. So, with a smile he wrapped his arms around Reno's neck and repeated himself. This was so different from the Reno he was used to. He was learning more about him all the time.

Pulling away from the second kiss slowly Reno smiled happily into the angel's eyes. "I will do my best to make sure you don't regret this."
Yes, Reno was fairly certain that he could be himself around Val. Most of the time he didn't mind acting like the brainless brat but there were times when he wanted someone to realize he actually HAD brains.

It was not Reno he was worried about, unless he decided to sell Val piecemeal back to ShinRa Labs for spare parts. He had a feeling even Hojo would have little interest in him after all these years. Even so, the demon's words had the feel of a solemn vow, despite his smile. The angel felt obliged to reply in kind, as if saying so would make any and all future actions possible. All Val needed to do was protect the other man from himself as he tried to do for anyone he had come to care for. He could do that. "I will do the same for you... and I won't run away," he added with a faint, self-depreciating smile.

Reno settled himself comfortable at Val's side. He leaned his head against the angels' shoulder and after a moment he took the others metal hand in his and started to run his fingers over it. Turning the hand over he lanced his fingers with the metal ones before him. "Ya know...I think this will work. I really do." he said softly.

The angel leaned lightly against the demon in return with a smile. His wing ears folded themselves comfortably among locks of raven-dark hair before he tilted his head, temple perching upon the other's head as it rested on the angel's shoulder. Reno's gestures were tender and vaguely intimate. The fingers that gently squeezed the demon's weren't flesh and blood; most people would have subtly avoided his metallic touch. He kissed Reno's hair. "I hope so."
Of course, it probably isn't a matter of hoping but a matter of trying. The thought made him wonder. Tomorrow things would probably be the way they had always been. He would wonder why he had been so silly today. It made him chuckle. "You know... tomorrow I will probably think that none of this was real. Only normal people do this kind of thing."
( In response to your sig where Tsume says, "If I followed you home, would you keep me?" - "Yes. 8D"
I had a random thought while writing Val's little thought sequence. The phrase "only people in literature" came up and I had a vision of them sitting here dressed in Victorian era attire. The conversation went something like this:
Reno: What must I do to persuade you to simply remove your shoes?
Val: (gasps) And reveal my ankles? One would never catch myself dead or drunk enough to do such a thing.
And of course, Reno smirks, and Val hides behind his parasol...
...I should draw this. )

Reno hums softly thinking about what Val said. Pulling away from the angel he moved so that he was straddling his lap. Leaning forward to rest his forehead against Val's he grinned at the other, "This is real. I am real. If ya need reminding tomorrow I will tell ya over and over again that this is real. Pity I didn't bring a camera. Then you'd have proof."
Omg! I sooooo want to see that pic! It'd be great. smile

( Don't let me forget then. I mean it xD; I would love to do something like that. I have never drawn that style of clothing, not to mention I would be snickering the whole time... :3 )
Val watched Reno's movements but was unprepared for where they brought him. "A camera. That... wouldn't be necessary..." The thought of having a camera here now made him darken feverishly. He glanced away but with their foreheads pressed together it was difficult to keep eye contact broken for long. "I might need reminders though, every now and then," he murmured, then closed what little distance remained between them, wrapping his arms around the demon's neck and kissing him.

(Giving me permission to be a brat? That's dangerous. wink )
Slightly surprised by the kiss Reno jumps a bit. He has no complaint though and quickly returns it. He liked Val taking the lead. It meant that the angel was really interested in him. Leaning back a little to catch the others eyes he smiled at him, "I'll remind ya as much as ya need. Val? I have ta know. Do ya care if others know? I'm not exactly the best ya could have got. I want ta tell everyone I know but I'll keep my mouth shut if ya prefer."

( Be gentle. <3 )
"Everyone?" The question was unnerving. It was not that things were moving too fast, more that it seemed a little soon to be shouting from the rooftops. Or perhaps he was too pessimistic. Old habits and thought patterns are difficult to change. But he was not of a mind to hide this either. If someone asked he would not deny or hide it (he might hedge just a little), but he would not go passing out cigars either... He frowned lightly. "Like who?"
