Chapter Text
Reno crept down the hallway from his bedroom, electro-mag rod in hand ready to fry the guts of the intruder he heard in the kitchen. A repetitive clinking sound woke him up and he was none too pleased about having to kill someone this early in the morning.
He rounded the corner, ready to strike at the first sign of movement, but his anticipation for battle dissipated as he laid eyes on his intruder.
Yuffie Kisagari, the obnoxious future ruler of Wutai, was at his kitchen table eating a bowl of cereal with the grace and enthusiasm of a toddler. Just as she was scooping another spoonful into her mouth she noticed him standing there and waved like she had been waiting for him to wake up all along.
“How’d you get in here?” Reno asked, his voice laced with irritation as he set his weapon on the counter. He’d be calling Rufus to demand a new security system be installed immediately.
“Gawd, why is it always ‘how did you get in here’?” She said with a mouthful of cereal. Milk dribbled down her chin, she wiped it away with the back of her hand. “You ever think to ask how I’m doing?”
He snorted. “I don’t give a shit.”
“Oh don’t act like you care now,” Yuffie replied, completely ignoring what he said. She picked up the bowl and gulped the remaining milk with a disgusting slurp. “You’re out of cereal, could you get the kind with the little marshmallows next time?”
“You can’t just break in and eat my food ya brat!”
“Already did a few times actually,” she said with a smirk as she slid the door to the balcony open and stepped out. “Later, Turkey!”
With a two fingered salute mocking his own she leapt over the railing and disappeared.
