Basically just how I’d imagine them having feelings for/being in a relationship with another turk. Nsfw topic for Reno but also not really lmao.
Reno is the type of person to say that love and sappy feelings aren’t his thing and just get tortured by the feelings he has for you. Especially if you’re his colleague and he sees you frequently.
Rude is the only one that knows him well enough to catch on to those feelings. He’s seen him flirting with others at headquarters already, but only you can catch him off guard whenever you tease him back.
And when he asked Reno he laughed it off at first. But after a couple of drinks he started whining about how annoying having feelings for someone is and how he’s not a relationship type of guy anyway.
The closest relationship he would be willing to get into is probably some kind of friends with benefits situation. He invites you over to his place after work sometimes but it does get a little suspicious when he starts telling you to just come over anyway when you’re not in the mood.
Or when he starts holding you afterwards and whines about how you should stay. Doesn’t matter if there’s a mission tomorrow. You can just go to work together!
Or when he accidentally longingly calls you baby while half asleep. Oops.
Oh and when he tells Rude that he’s been sleeping with you? He thinks it’s the worst thing Reno could’ve done and he’s not looking forward to how he’ll act once he realizes that he’s only getting more attached to you.
Eventually you basically act like a couple outside of work, but Reno is still hesitant about being in a committed relationship. He feels comfortable without the pressure of a label, scared of what might happen if it gets “too real.”
And when you’re on a mission together, professionalism takes over again (except for when Reno decides it’s time to tease you because your reactions are obviously so fucking funny). A real consummate professional or whatever he calls himself.
Sometimes Tseng does have to remind him not to get carried away when seeing Reno smirk after being assigned on a mission with you…
Elaborated on this here!
Rude is secretly a romantic and very obviously a gentleman.
Or at least he tries to be. He is very polite and respectful but he can be so incredibly awkward at times. You might think he’s just being his usual quiet self or that he’s not interested in you in the slightest, but he’s just flustered.
You could be telling him about something and he’ll just respond with a quiet grunt, completely forgetting that he still needs to answer your question. It’s not that he wasn’t listening, he’s just a little nervous. Especially when you’re sitting next to each other in the helicopter, just the two of you…
But he remembers what you tell him, especially if you’re talking about something you’re passionate about. Who knows when that knowledge might come in handy to make you happy?
Reno gets so much second hand embarrassment and tells you to just make out already or something. It’s seriously painful to watch Rude being so awkward.
Whenever you’re on a mission together a part of his focus is always on you. He admires your strength and knows you can handle it yourself, but he is very protective.
His eyes are on you a lot more than you might think, his shades don’t just look cool but are also pretty useful. If you weren’t wearing the same uniform as him, people would probably assume he’s your bodyguard with the way he’s always watching over you.
Eventually he gathers the courage to ask you out (after a lot of teasing and complaining from Reno). But he’s so relieved when you agree that he just leaves before telling you the time and place.
Tseng and you met as rookies, both of you new at Shinra. As two young people with a dangerous occupation you grew closer, and Veld assigning you to go on missions together made you naturally gravitate towards each other.
But as he rose in the ranks you noticed how he became a lot more distant and closed off. A lot more professional. The day he became second in command there was already a tiny shift in your relationship.
He didn’t mind the power imbalance at work but bossing you around eventually came unnatural to him. You’re his equal and you always have been. He still saw you outside of work, but his mind seemed to be elsewhere and he became more distant.
And once he became the leader, he officially ended things. He is responsible for all of your lives now and there is no way he can still make enough time for you now and letting his emotions interfere with his work is dangerous, he needs to remain coolheaded at all times. This was the best decision for both of your sakes.
But he obviously can’t just make his feelings disappear, no matter how big of an emotional wall he builds up between you. And if you pay enough attention to how he treats you compared to the others, there might still be a little bit of unconscious favoritism.
He is still very conscious of your health and well-being. If you get injured badly he is the first person you’ll see at the infirmary. As soon as he notices you waking up, he removes his glove to turn your face towards him, caressing your cheek before you pass out again. The second time you wake up he’s no longer there and he won’t ever mention this again.
Sometimes he wishes your relationship wouldn’t have turned out this way. He would love to tell you how lonely he feels sometimes, sitting alone in his dimly lit office and writing reports into the late evening hours after everyone has already left. You used to always be there, the headquarters is like a second home to the turks after all.
Despite everything, you still have a special place in his heart. You were there when he grew, not just as a person but within the ranks of the Turks. A connection like yours is not easily forgotten and he’ll always be grateful to have had you at his side from the beginning.
Elena always tries her hardest to impress you, especially in battle. She asks you to do those synchronized moves she did with Tseng every single time.
She’s always around you at HQ. A break between meetings? Immediately at your side the moment you walk out the door. Training?? Those sync moves still need to be perfected!
Gets so happy wherever you compliment her skills. Being one of the newer Turks, reassurance coming from someone she admires means so much to her even if she already knows she’s good at her job.
Probably wouldn’t tell you if she got hurt. Instead of complaining she toughs it out to impress you but it’s so obvious that there’s something wrong and her pain tolerance is not actually as high as she makes it out to be.
Please go check on her when she’s off wallowing in self pity somewhere. She’d be terrified to disappoint you or even worse, make you mad at her because of a simple mistake.
Reno and Rude thought you might just make her a like less cocky and more pleasant to work with if you’re all on the same mission. But they’re wrong. She needs to show you just how great she is after all!
I hope Elena isn’t too ooc, only saw rebirth’s cutscenes and she’s a little different now than in the original iirc? Idk maybe not lmao. All of this just because we saw Reno’s back in the new trailer, sigh. Also, does anyone remember Rude and Chelsea??

Since I always post about Sephiroth, I want to dedicate a minute to talk about my favorite ff7 girl ever
Elena
It baffles me how criminally underrated she is when she is literally THE girlfailure wife ever
Like, first, she is just so pretty obviously, as every final fantasy girl ever is, and as a Turk she's always so dapper in that little suit prrrrrrrrr. But I love her because she is so confident that she can kick ass, and she does! Not against Cloud but still. But that whole persona is so fragile and just CRUMBLES when she loses to him
And like yeah I get it, she's new and inexperienced so she has more to prove, but she was still so smug even after her defeat, like she still won
But my girl was DYING in Junon
Don't mind the filter and frame, I thought it was fitting but look at her!! She's actually the biggest sopping wet cat ever. "Leave me alone, I'm too busy being sad" coupled with the head on table and margarita?! She is the model of all sad sore losers, the patron goddess of shattered egos
Rude was having a ball with his bald heads society thing and my gal was so depressed wondering what the rest of the baddest bitches club thinks of her
She's so pathetic, I want her so bad. I want to kiss her so silly. I love you forever Elena of the Turks
do people inside Shinra building know about asg? Have the turks seen ~things~ they shouldn't?
oh absolutely! everyone is well aware of asg, and tbh a lot of people thought they were together before they themselves even officially got together… asg were the last ones in shinra to know they were in a relationship! plus i think genesis is very heavy on the pda, he doesn’t care how many people are around or who sees!
and the poor turks have absolutely seen much MUCH more than they would’ve ever asked for, although they quickly got used to it because everyone else in shinra had to do the same… asg are SHAMELESS, it doesn’t matter who, what, when, or where… although afterwards reno will tease the hell out of asg and ask for all the gritty details from genesis! rude is the most polite and doesn’t bat an eye or mention anything afterwards. tseng absolutely does NOT give a fuck, if he needs something from asg it doesn’t matter what position asg are in, tseng is interrupting and not leaving until he has what he needs, and he doesn’t even acknowledge what asg are doing! poor, poor elena has the natural reaction to apologize and leave the room, although she will never be able to unsee any of it and the poor girl is scarred for life… and cissnei will be polite and leave the room with an apology, but she will then gossip about it to zack or anonymously post about it on asg’s fan pages
