More Than a Douche (Reno x Reader)

ｃｈ． ４ - evening intrusion

"There are more of them than you think. They have been stealing explosives somehow or there is someone giving them out right under our nose. They are being illegally sold and getting into the hands of the wrong people. That's why this is more than just  the loss of some supplies." Tseng stated with his hands on the long table. The other Turks sat around it, listening attentively to their leader. 

"Tch. Let's hope it's not anyone workin' under Shinra. Wouldn't think twice before givin' them hell about it." Reno snickered, putting his hands behind his head as he leaned back in his chair.

"What kind of outsider would even have access to the incendiary bombs? Plus, don't you need special card access to the warehouse..?" Elena points out, gesturing her hands as thoughts fill the heads of everyone in the room.

"Mm... now that you mention it, I do have a file in the other office with a list of everyone who has card access. It should be in the smaller file cabinet towards the back of one of the drawers. Could you grab it for me?" Tseng asked Elena and she quickly stood to her feet with a nod, excusing herself from the meeting to retrieve the file. 

She opened the door to the small office, stepping inside before closing it slowly behind her. It was called an office but it was honestly more of a storage room of sorts, seeing how it was full of boxes and such. She walked over to the different file cabinets and began scanning the different heights, trying to find the shortest one. 

"Aha!" She beamed, finding the slightly shorter cabinet and stopping in front of it. 

She started with the top drawer, pulling the handle towards her and beginning to rummage through the different files. There were tabs with different characters but none that would lead her to what she was looking for. She pops her lip before starting on the second drawer, then the third, then the fourth. It was pushing a good sixteen minutes of her searching for the file as she opened the fifth and final drawer, going down to her knees. She ran her fingers through every file crammed in the deep drawer, starting to feel herself get mesmerised by the same movements she'd been doing for some time now. She lets out a sigh before being met with an unfamiliar labelled section. She narrowed her eyes at the symbol on the file separator, making an opening with her fingers to try and see what was inside the section. The office door opens from behind her, causing her to stop suddenly, whipping her hand back with a bang against the top of the drawer. 

"Ow!"

"Elena?" Reno called out in a neutral tone before eyeing the short blonde girl crouched before a file cabinet.

"What's the hold up, yo? You've been gone for forever now. Tseng was questioning if you got lost or somethin'. Did you not find it..?" Reno walked over to her before kneeling down beside her, looking into the drawer that was open.

"I-- um.. no." She replied with a slight blush on her cheeks from embarrassment as she stuck her wacked digit between her lips.

Reno spotted a label in the back reading "Shinra general card accessibilities" and began running his fingers through a few files, picking a few out before finding one labelled "weapon warehouse access."

"Here it is. Come on." He said as he stood to his feet, holding the file at his side. "Let's head back before Tseng comes stompin' over." He walked over to the door, holding it open as Elena soon followed with her finger still in her mouth.

You sigh as the espresso machine rumbled and began dropping dark liquid into the small shot glasses. Aerith sat at a stool behind the counter, watching as you lean against the sink.
