Here's another request from the lovely Lyria_WR!!! (Also, the picture😍😍😍😍)
This story takes place in Midgar, but to put it simply, Seventh Heaven, where the main character Y/n L/n works. Today is just another ordinary day. Normally, you'd help Tifa with the bar, and every time her and her friends would go to fight monsters, you had no choice but to stay and run the bar by yourself.
"Good morning Y/n! How was your night?!" Tifa greeted you from the bar.
"Hi Tifa! It was nice, can't complain! Been out fighting yet?" You clocked in, tying your apron. You knew Tifa and her friends fought monsters on a daily basis, and there was nothing wrong with that. Well, except that you were the only one who didn't know how to fight, much less how to use a weapon. Her crew consisted of her, her boyfriend Cloud, the Turks Reno and Rude, Vincent, Barret, and Cid. They were all so nice to you and treated you like you were part of the team, but something had bothered you for a long time. You felt useless and even though you watched over Marlene, you knew there was nothing else you could do.
"Not yet, but I'm sure I will soon!" Tifa wiped down the counter while you swept the hardwood floor. Suddenly, Cloud bursted through the double doors, his sword strapped to his back.
"Hey you. What're doing here?" Tifa looked up from what she was doing.
"There's a gang war going on outside of town. Come on." For a small town, there sure are a lot of gang wars... Tifa put down her rag and gave you the same nod she always does when she's about to go fight monsters and left with Cloud. You had to admit, you were a bit envious of them. You were stuck running a bar while they had all the fun. And every once in awhile, you'd hide and watch them fight. It was really intriguing, the way they flipped and dodged and fought all kinds of enemies with ease.
"It's not fair. They get to have all the fun. I bet if I trained hard enough, I could become a fighter as good as them..." You pushed in the bar stools, and sighed quite dramatically as you plopped down at the bar. Then, you perked your head up and smiled.
"I got it!!" You cried to yourself. And since that night, you trained in secret, pushing yourself to the limit. You were exhausted at first, but your motivation of being a big help to your friends put you back in your feet. Weeks went by, and you thought it was time to show the others what you were made of!
"Yo, Tifa. Gather the others, and meet me outside of town." The strawberry haired man poked his head into the door. Tifa looked up in confusion, and you did the same, your interest peaked.
"What for Reno? I'm a little busy at the moment." Tifa placed her hands on her hips. Reno was always known to be cocky, and a bit of a show off.
"Just come. And Y/n, you can watch if you want. I think you'll be amazed, if not impressed." The Turk gave you a wink as he left. Typical Reno..
"I'll be right back Y/n. Mind watching the bar again?" Tifa put her fighting gloves on.
"Not at all Tifa. I don't mind." You gave your friend a friendly smile, assuring her that you had it all under control. And after she left, you followed behind, closing the bar beforehand. You reached the outside of town and crouched down behind a bush and listened.
"Alright losers, I challenge all of you to a sparring match! And don't think I'm gonna hold back yo!" Reno cracked his knuckles.
"Youre kidding right?" Cloud sighed.
"Reno, you're asking for it." Tifa agreed with Cloud. You watched at Reno defeated everyone with such elegance and ease. You ceased the opportunity to come out of hiding and put your training to the test.
"Sorry losers, got no time to dick around." Reno stretched, smiling victoriously. As if he were mocking you, you decided to slap that smug look off his face.
"It's my turn." You stood up from the bushes and walked towards the group. Everyone stared at you with shock and confusion plastered on their faces.
"Y/n, what are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be watching the bar?" Tifa asked.
"Don't worry Tifa, I closed it for the rest of the day. Back to you Sinclair. I challenge you to a sparring match, just you and me." You got into a fighting stance.
"Aww, does the wittle princess want to fight?" Reno's words made you scrunch your nose in annoyance.
"This little princess is gonna kick your ass."
"Are you sure? I'm not going to go easy just because you've got a pretty face."
"Yes I'm sure. You're not scared of being beaten by a girl, are you Reno?" The others ooed at your snarky remark. This made Reno blush, and scoff.
"Okay princess, let's see what you're made of. Ready?" He begun the fight, and you quickly dodged his weapon. He was fast, but with all the training you did, so were you. You two fought and you almost managed to beat him, but your body couldn't take it. You felt you were going to pass out any minute.
"Enough of this! I'm sick of being made a fool of by someone who spent weeks training! Which by the way, isn't gonna help you!" Before he could land a perfect punch, you fell to the dirt unconscious, with the team gathering around you, Reno screaming for them to back up.

"Y/n? Are you okay?" You woke up to the sound of Reno's voice. Your eyes fluttered and landed on his. They were so soft and gentle. How come you haven't noticed them before?
"Reno....? What happened?" You sat up slowly with his help. You looked around you and knew you were back at the bar.
"You passed out before we were able to finish our fight. How many times did you take breaks while you were training?" You really had to think about that.
"I didn't. I wanted to get stronger so I can feel like a part of the team.... I'm sure Tifa and the others are mad at me...." You stared at the floor, ashamed of yourself. What if they kicked you out? Then you would never see them again.
"Oh Y/n... You already are a part of the team. And besides, we're not mad at you. We were worried about you. Lately, you've been slacking off at work, and you think I haven't noticed? Don't you ever say that you're not a part of this team. We don't care if you know how to fight or not. The only thing that matters is you existing in our lives, and in mine." He brushed some loose hair out of your face and once you turned to respond, he kissed you!
"Reno, you dork!" You kissed him back, but with more passion than ever, with the rest of the team spying on you from behind the bar counter.
That only took a long time because I went to Florida this last weekend, and I haven't had time to update this like I should've been!!! But now I'm back, and feeling better than ever!! There's nothing like a trip to Florida to refresh your brain!!! Anyways, I'm still taking requests in the comments below if anyone has a one shot for me to do!!!
