Room 429, Friday Evening

[raspberryturk]

Reno was looking at the dirty postcard that he had received from Romeo with about as much admiration as agitation.

On one hand, Romeo had pretty sweet taste in women.

On the other hand, the hundred-and-something year old postcard was... a hundred and something years old. Which was going to be problematic, so far as writing Romeo back to thank him for the vintage porn was concerned.

"Say tray jolly yes," Reno decided, butchering the French language as he stood the postcard on his dresser and stepped back to appreciate it. "And so help me, dammit, I'm gonna tell you that to your face, yoto."

[Door's shut, but the post is open like openly open things. Calling all girlfriends, yo.]

Comments

"Told me he was enjoyin' the freedom in the air. Asked me to take care of you and Doji." Like Reno wasn't going to anyhow. "Romeo's still Romeo, yo." He nodded toward the picture of the bare-breasted woman on the old postcard sitting on his dresser.

...

"He's doin' good."

[the_merriest]

Rikku looked over, and then clapped her hand over her mouth. "The naked lady!? He sent you that?!"

[raspberryturk]

Reno wasn't going to laugh at her reaction. He wasn't.

... Hard.

"Yeah, he sent me that. Guess he met her or her sister or somethin' at the place he's been hangin' around. Mullin Roog or whatever."

Reno had no concept of the French language whatsoever.

[the_merriest]

She was giggling. "Oh, man, if he cheats on Dojima, he's dead."

They were ignoring Petey. Petey hated being ignored. Therefore, Petey was going to attack Reno's shoelaces. Omnomnom.

[raspberryturk]

"This is Romeo we're talkin' about, here." Reno smirked and shook his head. "He's too much a pussycat when it comes to girls to do somethin' like that, yot--"

There was a retarded cat attacking his shoelaces.

"Petey ain't happy unless he's tryin' to kill whatever I'm wearin', huh?"

[the_merriest]

Petey yowled happily. Reno! Hi, Reno! Hiiiii!

"He likes you," she said, laughing as she bent to scoop him up. "S-sorry, I shouldn't have brought him, I know, just ... I was all sniffly and he wouldn't get off my lap. I'll take him back now."

She pressed her face into the back of Petey's fur, smiling to herself, and he mrrrrred back at her.

[raspberryturk]

"That'd make this one of the shortest visits you ever made," Reno noted, smirking faintly. "He ain't hurtin' nothin'. Just gettin' drool on my shoes."

[the_merriest]

"He was getting toothmarks on your shoes," she giggled, and then flipped Petey over to press her face into his belly. "It's hard to give kitties raspberries. Too much fur."

[raspberryturk]

"I get a discount on new shoes," Reno pointed out. "Bet all that fur gets right up your nose, too, zoto."

[the_merriest]

"It tickles," she grinned. "He's so snuzzly. Some kitties are cuddly, but very on their own terms. He's kinda all, 'hooray, you're touching me!' Kinda weird."

She nodded to the door. "And I wasn't gonna leave leave. Just run him back. So I can ... I mean ... I can stay tonight, right? That's okay?"

[raspberryturk]

"Of course you can, yo. You wanna stay the night, I want you to stay the night, all works out well like that, I think."

Yes, yes this was, in fact, Reno saying that he would like for her to stay overnight in his room.

Someone call Ripley's.

[the_merriest]

"Okay," she grinned. "Then I gotta take him back. Yes I do! Yes I dooooo. Before you get into things and eat them. Because you eat things and you are such a bad kitty. Yes you are. You aaaaaaare."

He was.

[raspberryturk]

Reno eyed the exchange between cat and girl, his lips pulling into a bit more of a grin.

"Damn, girl. With the way you coo over that thing, I'm startin' to wonder if you suffer separation anxiety when he's not in the same room as you overnight, yo."

[the_merriest]

"I'm fine," she said, rolling her eyes. "Still say you haven't lived until you've woken up to a kitty chewing your nose, though."

[raspberryturk]

"I got a list as long as my arm of things I say you haven't lived until you've done, yo," he laughed. "Most of my list ain't legal. But by your standards, I guess I haven't lived anyhow, yo."

[the_merriest]

Rikku snickered. "You'll have to show me some of them, zoto," she said, leaning up for a kiss.

Ignore Petey, he always wriggles.

[raspberryturk]

The wriggling was difficult to ignore, but Reno was determined not to let this kiss be interrupted, dammit. So somewhere in and during that kiss, he put his hand on the top of Petey's head and let it sit there, again. Stupid cats, anyhow.

He'd totally show her some of them, sometime. ... Not all of them. Some of them weren't very bright to do a first time, let alone go back to show the girlfriend, really.

[the_merriest]

Awww, Reno liked him! He liked Reno. He was gonna lick Reno's hand. A lot.

Rikku was going to lean in and hope he wasn't wriggling badly enough that she needed to break the kiss just yet.

[raspberryturk]

Reno was going to lean back and hope that the wriggly thing wouldn't prompt Rikku to break the kiss just yet.

He'd been working on holding his breath, after all.

[the_merriest]

Ooooh. She could tell, he was doing pretty g--

"Ow," she said, pulling back. "Ow, ow, ow, okay, those were claws, Petey."

He mrowled his agreement. They were!

[raspberryturk]

Reno cleared his throat as he straightened up, smirking faintly.

"Cat's got killer timing, yo."

[the_merriest]

Rikku shook her head. "Cat's gonna keep doing that if he stays. I so much as wriggle in the middle of the night, and my toes get eaten."

Petey mrowled, unhappily. He was still up, he wanted to be down!

[raspberryturk]

"Eh. He's just a cat. He ain't hurtin' nothing anyhow. Go on, put 'im down."

Possibly, these were famous last words.

Reno wanted more kissing, dammit.

[the_merriest]

"You ... want him to stay with us?" she giggled. "'Cause ... otherwise I should take him back before we, uh."

Petey wriggled harder and found his own way down.

Rikku slipped her arms around Reno's neck again.

[raspberryturk]

See? The cat totally had the right idea, here. Get out of the way so that kissing could happen. The retarded kitten was brighter than anyone ever gave him credit for. Reno was going to have to sneak him lunch meat or something later in order to thank him for this.

He slipped his hands around her waist and kissed her and wasn't going to let go, dammit.
