A Working Vacation | Genesis & Reeve

@engineering-robotics

Genesis stared at his director blankly. "...you want me to babysit while there's a war going on?"

"I want you to assist Director Tuesti formally as a bodyguard, but if he requires help otherwise... please do assist. Since you're back at headquarters, I feel you'd be the best choice. You do the public better than most and you know it." Lazard corrected patiently.

Unsaid, Genesis had been bullied home by his team; he hadn't burned out, but he wasn't up to his usual high level caliber of combat either. Oh, it wasn't visible, and Lazard couldn't sense it like they could, but he knew the signs. Genesis was flagging and desperately needed some time off before somebody -- probably Genesis himself -- got hurt.

Genesis closed his eyes with a wry smile, and they both knew he'd given in. "Fine. I will assist Director Tuesti as a... bodyguard. Even though that's Turk territory."

Lazard fought a smile. "I appreciate your compliance. Please report to Urban Development tomorrow morning."

And so Genesis did.

Reaches over and gently cups the side of Souji's face, thumb gently brushing his cheek. Looking into the man's eyes with a soft smile.

Souji was concentrating on something else, eyes focused on the screen and biting his lip softly in concentration. He was in his own world, dangerous in his line of work, but it said volumes for how comfortable he felt around the Director.

He started just a little when the other's hand touched his face, cupping his cheek and directing his gaze. Wide eye, already too expressive, widened a bit more in shock, searching Reeve's face and blushing. The smile, the way his thumb brushed his cheek. He was glad no one could feel his pulse racing... that he wasn't being seen by anyone other than the Director. He wasn't sure if he could take anyone else seeing him so openly vulnerable. "R-Reeve??"

@engineering-robotics continued from here.

Noctis had always had a great deal of respect for Reeve Tuesti. Growing up under the General's hand, Reeve had been the only Director Noctis hadn't found intimidating. He wasn't like Scarlet, or Hojo, or Heidegger. He was a guy who genuinely wanted to help people, that much had become apparent after the Plate had fallen. It was just unfortunate that the Company had never shared his vision and desire to help.

Well, thanks to Meteor, Reeve certainly had his chance to help now. The Planet had sustained a great deal of damage and the company had collapsed among the chaos so Reeve had a lot of work on his hands. Most would have given up. It was too much work for one person. That was part of the reason Noctis had decided to stick around. Without ShinRa, what remained of the SOLDIER program had been left without funding and purpose.

He'd only been a small cog in the grand scheme of things, but he still wanted to help make amends in any way he could. He didn't have the mind for rebuilding like Reeve did, but he thought that if nothing else, he could keep him safe while he worked. The man was more important than ever.

"Years of training," he replied with a grin. That and he'd always been more suited to magic and agility than brute strength like some of his fellow SOLDIERs. "You're welcome. You've been at this for hours though. Think it might be worth taking a break soon?"

"I’m so tired, I forgot why I started this." He was holding onto a small cluster of papers all neatly stapled together. Though his eyes were starting to look heavy with exhaustion.

Caresa looked at her friend with sympathy. "I've had days like that when Dr. Hojo works us to the bone." she spoke as she fixed him a cup of coffee. "You should probably rest."

May 3rd was special indeed. Reeve had been keen to take his lunch a little earlier and a little longer today equipped with a parcel. Well, this parcel was larger than one would expect but, he personally took it down to 7th Heaven for Tifa to open; along with a birthday card and chocolate mousse cake. The parcel held a new pair of leather ankle boots, a cleaning kit for her leather (especially the gloves and arm guards!), and a pretty pair of rose gold earrings with citrine stones.

“Hm? What’s all this, Reeve?” she asked, looking at him with curious eyes. It was like he had gone shopping and brought half the store to her home!

As she opened each item (noting his nervous gaze on her the whole time), she couldn’t help but smile. Everything was so nice, so perfectly chosen, and very much her. Setting everything aside on the counter, she turned to him and lifted herself to meet his face and plant a sweet kiss on his lips. 

“Thank you for the gifts. They’re perfect.”

"Reno is being awfully odd."

“How is this any different than how he normally acts?” You have to admit the Redhead had far more quirks than any of the other Turks. Because of this Rufus had to grit his teeth and try to tolerate it—otherwise, his voice would become very raw with the amount of yelling he had to do in a day.

“Just give him some hot pockets.” An added grin to that.

Asked:

 [ Touch Meme ] The trials and tribulations of the group had not gone unnoticed by Reeve as many were experienced in part to him. Yet here in the glow of the new Seventh Heaven, in the quiet hum of chatter sat one man who endured so much for someone so young. So Reeve felt compelled to express his gratitude with a gentle hand to the shoulder. "Thank you for all you have done for us, Cloud."

Answer: 

      “You don’t have to thank me.” He said gruffly, which was ‘cloud’ for shyness. “We’re glad to have you here.” He reached out to lay a hand on Reeve’s back in return and then offered him one of the drinks Tifa had given him to hand out. “Feel like drinking with me?”
