I got this request from Lyria_WR, who wanted me to make this one shot based on the movie Inception, which by the way seems very confusing just on the description alone. I have not seen the movie, so this chapter might be off the description. But, other than that, please enjoy!!!

Reno Sinclair had a special power. That power: to enter other people's dreams and make them a reality. It was up to him to determine which dream gets to become a reality. Sometimes, he played matchmaker. And other times, he accidentally killed people in their sleep. Reno had no idea where, who, or what gave him this ability. All he knew was that it came to him while he was on a mission with his partner Rude. It was part of the job to be exposed to many dangers, but gaining this ability was new, but rare. He was walking to Seventh Heaven. Why? Even the Turk himself didn't know. Something was leading him there. Was there someone ironically waiting to find love? When he entered the bar, his eyes darted around the room. Okay, it's just the usual crew. Cloud was at the bar talking to Tifa, Vincent was in the darkest corner of the room, listening to those around him, Yuffie was playing tag with Barett's kid Marlene, Aerith and Zack were wooing each other at the bar, and Y/n was struggling to stay awake at the dart board. Reno smirked. This was gonna be fun. Y/n suffered from insomnia, and whenever she did sleep, nightmares flooded her brain. Doctors had done many research on her condition, but no answers were ever found.

"Hey, whatcha doin?" He poked his friend's sides, causing her to jump up and on instinct, slap him. She groaned in frustration.

"Reno, goddamnit! I've told you millions of times not to sneak up on me like that! Fucking hell!" The girl rubbed her eyes, drowsiness overpowering her. Tifa noticed this, and placed a hand on her back.

"That wasn't cool Reno. Y/n, you need to sleep." The bar owner led her away from the red head.

"I can't, remember? Every time I do, I get night terrors, and on occasion, I get sleep paralysis. I'm trying to avoid that!" Tifa knew none of the medicines worked. No matter how many at home remedies she tried, she remained the same.

"Go to the upstairs bedroom, and just try one more time. Who knows? Maybe tonight is the night you'll finally get some rest." Y/n sighed, giving in to her tiredness.

"Fine. Good night everyone!" She called to her friends before dragging her feet up the stairs, and taking one last look at Reno before closing the door behind her.

"I forgot about her sleep condition. My bad." Reno noticed Tifa scowling at him.

"You always forget Reno! You better hope she sleeps tonight!" Nobody but Rude knew about his recently acquired power, and let's face it.... They wouldn't understand the after effects of his ability. Now standing alone, Reno thought about how he could help Y/n in his own way. Well, he could enter her dreams, defeat the demon inside, and hope it works. Wait no that's insane! Y/n is a dear friend!

"This is so aggravating yo!" Reno sighed to himself. That's it. There's no other option but for Reno to sneak upstairs to the guest bedroom and enter Y/n's dreams. She is a heavy sleeper after all, so it won't be a problem getting to her. What will be though, is to sneak past Tifa. The woman was like a watchdog, aware of anything and everything around her. Reno decided to wait have Rude create a distraction while he snuck upstairs. When Rude started talking to Tifa, Reno made his way to the bedroom. Once safe, he closed the door behind him and approached the sleeping beauty that was Y/n.

She's so beautiful.... The way her face relaxed.... Oh snap out of it Reno! She's way out of your league anyway!

Reno snapped out of his thoughts about cuddling with the girl of his dreams and placed his hand on her head. Light spewed from it, Reno closing his eyes. This was the only way to enter a dream. Only downside was that it made him sleepy. That was a risk he was always risking to take. For her. And soon, he found himself into a replica of Wall Market. It wasn't as bustling with people as it was in real life. He looked around for Y/n, who was probably running from something, based on what he felt from the palm of his hand.

"No! Leave me alone!!" He whipped his head towards the chocobo stables and saw Y/n running for her life.

"Hey slow down yo!" He caught her by the waist, stopping her from going any further. She gasped when she realized it was him.

"Reno?! What the hell are you doing in my dreams?!" She pulled away from his grasp.

"Look, it's a long story. But tell me why you're running." Y/n looked past him, made no hesitation to take him by the hand and take off running again.

"There's no time! We have to go before he kills me!" He? Reno turned his head and uttered an "oh crap." Walking steadily towards them, was a 12 feet tall version of...... Himself? Y/n was scared of him? He looked over at her and was pulled into a corner, watching at the 12 feet tall Reno stomped past them.

"What's going on? Are you scared of me Y/n?! Answer me!" He cried out, sighing as he heard her sobbing in her hands.

"I didn't want to tell anyone, cause it's all just a dream, right? I know you would never hurt me Reno, so I don't know why you're trying to kill me in my dreams! And what happens when you die in your dreams? You die in real life!" He took a step back. He understood now. Y/n was always so afraid of Turks, mainly because her parents were taken from her at a young age. And when Aerith introduced Y/n to everyone, including him, Y/n took one look at his uniform and hid behind Aerith. It took Reno two years to get Y/n to trust him, and he thought when she started talking to him for the first time, that she finally warmed up to him. He clenched his fists. He needs to make this right.

"What can I do to fix this?" Y/n looked at him, eyes puffy and red.

"What...?"

"I hate seeing you like this kid. I'll tell you a secret. But only if you answer one question." Y/n nodded and stood up from the dirt, wiping a few remaining tears. Reno was willing to spill his secret for this girl. Anything to see a smile on her face.

"I'll tell you anything."

"How did you survive with that thing running around?" Y/n sighed and shrugged.

"I guess I pretended to beat the crap out you just to weaken it." She rubbed the back of her head. Reno blushed. Ummm....

"And how do I get that thing to go away?" Y/n shrugged again. Suddenly, the ground started shaking beneath them.

"Reno!" Y/n held on to him, breathing heavily. The 12 feet tall Reno was luring over them. The original Reno knew what he had to do.

"I know what to do! But you gotta go along with it!"

"I don't trust you! My parents, they-"

"I know what happened to your parents, and if I could go back in time to stop those Turks from taking them, I would! I can't tell you what happened, but I know that we're both gonna die if you don't trust me!" Y/n looked at him, holding his hands.

"Okay! I trust you!"

"No, I want you to say it like you mean it! And hurry!" The two was crowded into the corner. Y/n shouted to the top of her lungs.

"Reno Sinclair, I trust you with all my heart and soul!!" Reno pulled her closer to him and planted a deep kiss upon her lips, and didn't stop until the tall version of him was dead. He looked into her eyes, smirking.

"Good. Now do me a favor, and wake up."












Y/n opened her eyes to the touch of Reno running his hands through her hair. She sat up and yawned.

"Reno! You did it! It's all over!" She engulfed him into a hug, crying tears of joy.

"Heh. Anything for you beautiful." Reno's secret was safe. For now.
