It was dangerous working for Avalanche.

It was dangerous working for Shinra too.

But it was even more dangerous working for Avalanche as a spy to infiltrate Shinra whilst pretending to be a dedicated spy to Shinra and only relaying useless information to them.

It was inevitable that someone would catch on, and it was just your luck that it was one of the more senior, respected Shinra employees. He had all the evidence he needed to prove himself right, leaving no loopholes or possibilities for you to deny it. It was you against him, and he had the entirety of Shinra to back him up.

You escaped by the skin of your teeth, battered and bruised but alive. There was no way you could turn to Avalanche for help, it would just put all of them at risk - there was a bounty on your head, after all. This was a matter of life and death, and although it pained you to leave everything and everyone behind, you had to keep yourself away from the spotlight, cut yourself off from everyone you knew, and that included Reno.

It was almost funny that he was the one to find you, some sort of cruel irony. Your body seized up when he entered the abandoned building, his face expressing his boredom and fatigue, the pain in his eyes almost entirely masking the little glimmer of hope he still had. With each passing day, it was increasingly more likely that he wouldn't be the one to find you, and that meant it was increasingly more likely you'd be cruelly punished for your crimes.

When his gaze met yours he froze like a deer in the headlights, eyes flashing with a barrage of emotions. He casts a single glance over his shoulder, before sprinting over to you, engulfing you in his arms when he finally reaches you.

He's angry at you. Frustrated, annoyed and hurt that you deceived him. But at the same time he feels sad for you, guilty that he didn't know just how much you were going through, upset that he wasn't good enough for you to trust with this information. He wants to shout at you and shake you, interrogate you for answers, but all he can do is cling onto you tight and hope that no one takes you away from him.

When he pulls back, you barely have time to say anything, because his lips are on yours and he's kissing you passionately, pouring all of his confessions of love and apologies into the kiss. He rests his forehead on yours when he pulls away, relief washing over you like a wave of water, and he closes his eyes.

"I thought I was gonna lose you forever."

"I'm safe with you now."

"Yes, you are."

Because he was gonna keep you safe, and no matter who you were allied with, you were always his.
