Room 429, Saturday Evening

[raspberryturk]

So, today had been a long day. Between his best buddy getting shot by some fancy-talking twit on the beach, and the annoying hex that had been placed on him by that nasty, nasty old chick during his and Doji's Sex Ed presentation, Reno was more than just a little ready to curl up on a chair by the window, staring out over the island.

Quietly. Very quietly. The laughing fits had subsided, fortunately, but he was still annoyingly mute.

At least the chittering of the ferret involved sound. When Reno wasn't in A Mood, he'd have to give Mako extra treats or something for helping him preserve his sanity.

[For one person in particular, but open for interaction before she shows up if you don't mind a somewhat one-sided conversation.]

Comments

He was going to get slapped for it. "Yes, I know, you like my boobs," she sighed. "Even though they have nicer ones that you watch while you -- you-know. Which is gross and what if I watch this and decide I don't wanna do it with you again, anyway?"

[raspberryturk]

Reno re-claimed his hand, looking about as hurt and traumatized as he could manage.

It was difficult to give pouty-face puppy-eyes when your face still hurt from laughing too much. But Reno was a survivor, and he found a way.

All things considered, Reno's best porn was also some of his slightly more tasteful, straightforward porn. If only because the slum budget meant they couldn't invest in crazy props and such.

He popped the DVD into his computer and looked back at her again- it was a look that pretty much screamed, 'if you want me to turn it off, just say so.'

[the_merriest]

"No, let's see what happens," she said, nodding to it. "This is really just girls doing things with each other? I so don't understand guys."

Only a little curious. Really. Just humoring him. Shut up.

[raspberryturk]

Reno was totally willing to be humored. He was! Look, big dramatic entry sequence thingie to display the hot chicks and the logo- he totally grew up down that street, but the logo covered up his place, which wasn't hard. It wasn't a big place. And then BAMN. Hey. Slum sluts! Indoors!

Seeeeee? This porn wasn't so bad. It was gooood. In a weird, kinda homey way. The way of the porn.

Reno was enthralled. Mostly in Rikku, trying to gauge her reaction to this.

[the_merriest]

"You knew that street?" Rikku said, noticing the pointing but unable to place it better than that. "Wow, that's ... is this hard for you? 'Cause it's not there any more?"

A little bit of home. Maybe someone had porn spheres, from Home. She'd watch the first bit over and over again. I remember that hallway ...

She snapped out of it, noticing the brunette girl winking and blowing kisses at the camera, and a friend of hers joining from offscreen. Brown hair, thick blonde highlights, and the second girl was cuddling the first.

"They're prettier than the other girls were," Rikku said, chewing her lip. "I mean, the other movie, they kinda looked all fake? Like their boobs were balloon-y and their faces kinda didn't look real."

[raspberryturk]

It hadn't even occurred to Reno that there was a possibility of difficulty in watching porn. Until just that moment, as Rikku mentioned it. Huh. Come to think of it, it would'a been nice if that street there wasn't all... gone, and shit. But it was a pretty crappy street.

They all had been.

So he waved a hand dismissively and looked back at the screen. Yeah. These girls so looked better than the freaking silicone-tittied botox bitches from most porn flicks did. They were just girls, right? All... real people and whatever. Reno didn't know about other guys out there, but he was certainly more a fan of human females than freakish peroxide space-aliens.

[the_merriest]

"They seem real," Rikku said. And maybe it was partly 'cause they looked a little hard around the edges. Maybe that was why he liked slum-girl videos; if these two wanted, they could probably beat up the cameraman and take his wallet. Possibly his spleen.

It made her feel silly and fluffy and young, next to them. So she frowned and settled in closer.

They didn't seem interested in the cameraman. Too busy making out. All sloppy and tongues, like they meant it.

[raspberryturk]

Maybe they did. Maybe they were kissing to feed a kid back home or something. Reno didn't know. He wouldn't have been surprised either way.

As she settled in closer, he settled back against her, wrapping his arm around her again. They still had their snuggle-setup going. Snuggling and porn, starring real people who were probably real dead and it really didn't matter.

Someone grabbed real life and shoved it into this video. It was probably a big seller for the people topside, too- they tended to want to pretend they were dirtier and harsher than they ever actually were. Down below, it sold cheap enough that the locals could afford it, because if they couldn't, they'd be out of business damn quick.

Probably for the best that slum kids typically couldn't afford that fancy, fake crap.

Reno was really more interested in the girl in his arms than what was going on in the video. He'd seen the video. He knew exactly how it went. But he had no idea what to expect from Rikku, right now.

Huh.

[the_merriest]

The way they were making little comments to each other between kisses -- either they were close (possibly a couple, possibly just friends in this for the money) or they were really good actresses, and Rikku didn't figure they cast for that sort of thing.

"I was gonna say you got quiet," she said, "but then I remembered you kinda have to be."

She sighed. "I wish I looked all ... fierce like that. Lulu does. I kinda just look perky."

[raspberryturk]

....

Reno... Really didn't wish she looked anything different, at all. She just wouldn't be Rikku if she was all fierce, or whatever.

He shook her head and put a finger under her chin. Hey there. Heeey.

Now he wasn't paying attention to the movie at all. Now he was kissing Rikku, who was perfect, dammit, as though she was the air itself and he'd been holding his breath far too long.

He liked perky. He liked perky a lot.

[the_merriest]

Oh. Okay. That was. .... That was very reassuring, especially the bit where he seemed more into kissing her and not so worried about missing the video. He had nice lips. And his tongue. And they could just settle in here for a minute, couldn't they?

When she stopped for air she glanced over at the screen and giggled. "They're beating us," she murmured. "She's already trying to get her top off."

[raspberryturk]

Reno blinked. And then Reno grinned. Screw the laughing-soreness, anyhow. And the being a mime. And all of that.

He had to catch up!

....

Pounce!

[the_merriest]

Oh. And Rikku was pounced. And working on Reno's buttons. Namely, pulling his shirt until they popped.

It just sounded hot, okay?

"Missing the movie," she murmured, nipping at his lips and grinning.

[raspberryturk]

He had to grin back. Grin, and bite at her chin, and laugh another laugh that was purely his own as he reached out one hand blindly, feeling for his laptop, and then he closed it.

Movie? What movie? There was perfectly good hotness going on right here.

He demonstrated, of course, by pressing her down by her shoulders into the bed and kissing her until he was dizzy for want of air.

[the_merriest]

She wasn't dizzy just yet -- over ten minutes, not too shabby! -- or at least, she wasn't dizzy because of air.

"Awww, no more movie?" she giggled. "It was hot."

She emphasized by wriggling under him and tugging on the hem of her shirt.
