MHA #1, Monday Morning, With Pets and Confusion For All

[the_merriest]

Right, so yesterday? Yesterday, Reno had woken up as a ridiculously hot girl, while Rikku was still in girl-form herself. Which meant Reno had once again declared himself to be the hottest lesbian in existence, and Rikku ... okay, so she kind of really liked having girl-sex with girl-Reno, on the rare occasions that it happened. And so they did. Repeatedly. Before coming back to Fandom, having even more fun, and then collapsing in a heap.

And so, when Rikku awoke this morning, she snuggled in against the other sleeping form and discovered that ... that ... wait a second.

Reno was still a girl. At least, girl-shaped, on the outside.

She blinked and sat up, looking him over, not really sure how to feel about that.

(FOR THE TURK PLZ)

Comments

Reno wasn't the most sound sleeper at the best of times, really. And... Okay, granted, this was certainly not the worst of times. Yesterday had kicked ass, after all. But still. Not the soundest sleeper in the world. And so when Rikku say up, he was dragged back into that wonderful state of being commonly known as 'consciousness.'

"Mmm?"

... Oh, that came out as more of a purr than usual.

Huh.

"I'm not opening my eyes just yet," he reported. "Because if I do, I'll look down, an' I'll see tits, yo."

[the_merriest]

"They're ... really nice boobs?" Rikku suggested. Because that might somehow ... no, it didn't help all that much, did it?

"Are you stuck?" she asked.

[raspberryturk]

"You're the one lookin'," Reno pointed out. "You tell me if I'm stuck. I like bein' told 'no,' yo."

Generally. This sort of thing was only supposed to last one day. One glorious day, which he put to use by having hot lesbian sex with his girlfriend, or waving his boobs in the face of his boss. Two days was new and... Exciting. Yes. That was the word for it.

[the_merriest]

New and totally different and ...

"Maybe it's twenty-four hours?" she suggested. "I mean, maybe -- there was a time zone thing, in Colorado, wasn't there? So maybe it's gonna wear off in a couple of hours."

She liked girl-Reno. It was just that she liked boy-Reno so much better, and if she had to choose one, it'd be him.

... with occasional appearances from girl-Reno, yes, but that wasn't the point.

[raspberryturk]

"... Time zone thing," Reno echoed, raising an eyebrow a little. "I guess it don't hurt to hope huh?"

Truth be told, Reno liked boy-Reno much better, too. He could do neat things as a guy! Like piss standing up without having to worry about anything running down his leg. And fit into his uniforms. That was a good one.

[the_merriest]

"It's a Fandom thing, right?" she said. "And Fandom things wear off. I mean, they do. They've never just ... made someone into someone else. Have they?"

Rikku's logic was especially stunning, today.

"We can get you new suits," she suggested. "In the meantime."

Reno managed to make the suit look hot, no matter what shape he was in. It was a talent.

[raspberryturk]

"I ain't gettin' new suits," Reno replied, sticking out his bottom lip stubbornly for a moment. "If I get a new suit, that's me admittin' that this is permanent, or some shit. Fandom don't get to win, yo."

So there, Fandom Island. You dun got told.

[the_merriest]

"It's not permanent," Rikku sighed, reaching out to nip at that lower lip. Because it was adorable, no matter which Reno it was pouting. "That's you admitting that you're not going to wear clothes that don't fit in the interim. You're just being stubborn."

Like that was unexpected?

[raspberryturk]

"Suits are too friggin' expensive to just go out and buy because Fandom's bein' an ass," Reno pointed out. "I got t-shirts. It'll stretch 'em funny, but that'll probably fix in the wash anyhow, yo."

How was that for a domesticated comment from Reno, huh?

[the_merriest]

"I could go pick you out some bras," she offered. Look, hers weren't going to fit, and his were going to get annoying without some proper support going.

And yes, she was offering to go in case he didn't want to bra-shop himself. She was sensitive like that.

[raspberryturk]

Reno contemplated that for a moment.

And then for a moment more.

"Bet I could probably rig up somethin' cheap with duct tape," he mused.

... Look, he was making a teacher's wage and sending most of it back to Edge. He was allowed to be cheap.

[the_merriest]

Rikku winced. "That would hurt," she said. "You would scream and scream once it came off."

He was probably not going to apply the duct tape directly to his skin, Rikku.

"Bras aren't that bad," she said, sitting up with a bit of a Purpose now. "I'll go and be back before you even know it."

She eyed Reno's chest again. "Do you have any idea ... uh ..."

Well. She knew her size.

[raspberryturk]

Reno raised an eyebrow at her. Yeah. Not about to apply the tape to his skin, silly girl.

And then he shrugged, sat up, looked down at himself, and gave himself a squeeze.

"C."

Yeah. He didn't even have to think on that one.

[the_merriest]

She giggled. "You could do a gameshow or something. Guess people's measurements for fun and prizes."

And then, because -- well, she wasn't even sure why -- she felt compelled to ask.

"Can you tell ... other things about people, just by looking?"

Way to be vague.

[raspberryturk]

"Other things?"

That statement required an eyebrow raise and a playful little smirk, yes. Naturally.

[the_merriest]

Rikku rolled her eyes. Dammit. He was going to make her specify, wasn't he?

"So you've ... you know. You've kind of ... done things with lots of people, right?"

Euphemisms meant that this was about sex, yes.

"So can you tell? Like, oh, that girl, she'd be wild, but that one, she'd just kind of act bored, and that one over there is kinda kinky ... ?"

[raspberryturk]

"Well, for the record, if I'm takin' 'em to bed, they don't never act bored," Reno replied, smirking. He was an incorrigible bastard, and he was damn proud of that fact. "But I like to think I got a good sense for that sorta thing, yeah. Why?"

[the_merriest]

"Just ... curiosity," she said. "Not sure if people surprise you, or if they kind of hint what they'll be like from everything else. Anybody ever end up completely different than expected?"

[raspberryturk]

"Oh, yeah," Reno replied, shrugging. "Some people got shit up their sleeves even I can't sniff out, yo. People wear whole different faces when you get 'em alone, zoto."

And naked. And on their backs.

[the_merriest]

"In good ways or bad ones?" she asked. "I mean, is it usually a fun surprise, like, hey, who knew she was so freaky, or not so much?"

[raspberryturk]

Reno smirked a bit. Shrugged.

"Different from person to person, yo. You get all sorts in Midgar. Buncha people who have been through all kinda of different hell, yoto. Just as many biters as screamers. An' some people you think want nothin' more'n to get nasty really would rather just take it gentle an' have an evening of being appreciated, instead."

Which Reno didn't mind either, no.

[the_merriest]

She was looking at him oddly again, as if things were just occurring to her that hadn't before. Which was weird, considering how long they'd been together.

"And you ... that's the part you like best," she said, somewhere between asking and stating. "Being what each person wants, or needs. Getting them off. Playing out their kinks, making them feel good. Isn't it?"

[raspberryturk]

"Well, what's the point, if people ain't havin' fun?"

Reno liked the challenge of it, whenever he wasn't in it just to get off and lose his own mind in the fucking.

[the_merriest]

"I get what you mean," she said, smiling at him. "I just think it's interesting. It's like you view people as a puzzle of some kind, and you want to see if you can make the pieces fit."

[raspberryturk]

He grinned at her for a minute, and then flopped backward again, sprawling out against his bed.

... Okay. That felt weird. No more flopping with breasts, Reno.

"Maybe that's what makes me such a damn good Turk, yo."

Yes. The sleeping around before he'd settled in with Rikku. That was totally what did it, sure.

[the_merriest]

"Maybe it does," she laughed. "Maybe it's all part of the same thing. You like having the upper hand, I think."

She felt it was important to add, "It's not a bad thing. Just interesting."

[raspberryturk]

"I think I can handle being interesting," Reno chuckled, a noise somewhere deep in his chest that seemed more purr than anything. "You surprised me, you know."

He wasn't necessarily talking about in bed, no.

[the_merriest]

"How so?" Rikku asked, leaning over to press a kiss against the tip of his nose before agreeing. "You surprised me, too."

[raspberryturk]

"You wanna know?" Reno smirked, looking her way, before shaking his head and settling back against the pillows. "You got to me. Shit, Rikku. Until you came along, I was the invincible one, yo. Didn't need jack-friggin'-all, didn't need nobody."

Well. Maybe Rude.

"Wasn't gonna never admit different, either."

[the_merriest]

"So ... Rude wouldn't have made you say it?" she asked. "How much you needed him?"

And for once, she wasn't implying anything homoerotic about that, although that would probably come back any second now.

[raspberryturk]

Reno was going to shoot back with something sharp and snide, yes. Something about how he was straight, thanks, unless he was a lesbian, and then some halfhearted joke besides.

It fell short, and Reno just shrugged, instead.

"Never would'a. Rude knows, zoto."

[the_merriest]

"You could say it now," she suggested. "Just because people know things, doesn't mean it isn't nice to hear them say it."

Which seemed like a good time to add, "I love you."

[raspberryturk]

And see, if she hadn't thrown in that 'I love you,' Reno probably would have laughed and pointed out that if he told Rude that he cared, the big guy would probably start to worry that Reno was trying to get something out of him.

"E muja oui," Reno replied, smiling lazily up at her for a moment before, to hell with it, he was moving to claim her lips with his. Good morning kisses, complete with morning breath. The only way to start the day.

[the_merriest]

Morning breath was not nearly as important as the kind of light, lingering kiss that that statement required.

"Do you think he's okay?" she asked. "You're here, and you've got me."

Not to sound egotistical, either. Just that ... Rude didn't have anyone the same way.

[raspberryturk]

"He wants me to go back," Reno sighed, frowning a little. "He won't never say it, but I can tell these things, yo."

Because Reno and Rude apparently shared a brain.

"I... really ain't in no hurry to go back to Gaia, zoto."
