Rufus eventually slowed to a stop as the song switched tempo to a more upbeat one. He found himself much closer to her than he usually allowed himself to women, and it made him blush a bit. "Thank you for the dance... but I understand if you want to be doing something else. This was just kind of thrown at us suddenly... I'm going to head over to the bar and see if Dezzy and Reno are still there if you'd like to join me?"
He let go of her and turned to head to the forementioned area. He was fairly sure they'd still be there laughing and having fun. Perhaps it'd break the tension. The girl still didn't know his name yet and he wasn't sure if he should tell her or not... however, that was made unnecessary when out of nowhere a blue baby dragon came swinging from the chandelier, its tail grazing his face and knocking the mask off.
At the other side of the crowd, Dezzy and Reno swayed awkwardly for a few minutes, mostly thinking of food until Reno answered her question. "Have you ever kissed anyone before? shit, that sounds like a stupid question. I mean... I've never so I was just curious what it feels like... but..." she stumbled and mumbled over her words, a blush crossing her cheeks until, just as the dragon was knocking the mask off and revealing rufus's identity, she said "fuck it."
With one simple movement she stretched herself and planted a nice hard kiss on Reno's lips.

___________________________ Kyrie tilt her head to the side as the song came to an end along with the dance, as lovely as it was, she was glad that is was over as the conversation had put her off slightly. Her eyes followed him as he left, she considered going after him though she thought maybe it would be best to leave him be - she had said too much after all. Shaking her head, she realized she was being silly, plus it didn't seem fair to leave them all on their own, it seemed rude.
Though just as she was about to follow, a blue blur had swooped down from a chandelier and before Kyrie had a chance to warn him of the possible danger, it was too late. Time seemed to go slow at that moment even as a couple had bumped into her, her mask flying off her own face as it bounced on the floor five times, some of the gems breaking off and jingling along the floor, she went down to pick the mask up to put back on her face though by the time she looked up it was already too late. Her heart beat in her head as she slowly looked up to see if her dance partner was alright though was met with a sight that nearly stopped her heart.
She must've stood there for at least five minutes, staring and quivering with shock, fear, and rage.
Reno on the other hand seemed quite taken aback by Dezzy's change of subject, he stammered for a second, I mean... sure he had kissed a few girls and made them cry, but where the hell did that come from?! Before he even had the chance to respond, he felt something crush against his lips and surprisingly his eyes widened as the effects of alcohol was making it harder for him to register things. Instinctively, his arms wrapped tight around the younger one's waist though the moment was short lived as the next thing he knew, a white flash had him by the collar and was now charging him towards the bar where he found himself pinned against the table. He was met with rage filled eyes which he recognized all too well. Uh oh...
"You. Knew!?" the female SOLDIER hissed, almost if she couldn't believe it, she was breathing heavy, trying so hard to keep it all together and not make a scene, near enough every inch of her trembled, she didn't know whether to kill the Turk or break down. She knew he was capable of pranks but this, this was going too far, so much much in fact, that...
It hurt.

Rufus grunted as his mask flew off and he caught a glance of his former dance partner... he stood there for just as long before actually realizing that the woman in the white dress that he had just been holding was in fact the very same woman that just weeks before had covered him in food in the cafeteria... he stammered for a minute before glaring at Dezzy and Reno. Reno was already very suddenly pinned to the bar, and Rufus made a beeline for the blond woman whose date he had originally been.
"What the-" Dezzy was pushed aside by the sheer force of Kyrie grabbing Reno. She caught herself before she fell before suddenly being cornered by none other than Rufus Shinra himself.
"What. The. Fuck. Dezzy?" he glared down at her, his voice dropping into an angry growl. "I KNOW you knew who she was. That was your ONLY job tonight. Why in the hell would you leave me alone with her after the past few weeks?! Seriously?"
He was very frustrated with Dezzy. She was the closest thing he had to a friend right around then and she had betrayed his trust. How was he supposed to work with her if this was the type of thing she was going to do? and for what? a few laughs with her boyfriend? Fuck that. "That was the cruelest and more than that DANGEROUS thing you could have done. Do you WANT me dead?"
"Rufus, no that's not it at all! Just you have this crush on her and all and I thought it'd be a good chance for her to see a better side of you if you talked without her knowing it was you!" Dezzy tried to follow him as he stormed away. "Come on! If anyone is getting hurt, it's Reno since it was his idea. Rufus!!"

___________________________
___________________________ Reno lay there on the table which he was still pinned onto thanks to Kyrie, any minute now... that would be it, he'd be saying his prayers, praying to whatever God was out there and he'd definitely be joining the Lifestream any second now. "L-Look Ky, y-yeah, I knew! But I thought it'd be-" he was cut off by a sharp smack across the face which sent his mask flying, the brunette got right into his face. "Be what? A joke!? Reno you KNOW I hate him and you KNOW why! This isn't just some stupid little tiff! You know how much thi--!"
"...Just you have this crush on her and all and I thought it'd be a good chance for her to..."
Now it was Kyrie's turn to be cut off.
That was all she allowed herself to hear before she froze, her grip, as if by magic, just suddenly... released the red head as she stood up straight in a near dazed, petrified state. Her lips silently stammered as she turned to face the two blondes that were a small ways from them. Her hand balled into a fist, though not for violent purposes, no, she trying ever so hard to prevent herself from shaking or even having a fit. She was beyond a shocked state now as barely anything could be processed in her mind. Why was this happening to her?!
Reno saw this and already tugged at his collar, trying to get some air as the guilt washed over him in waves. The girl's heart was beating so fast that it felt as if it was trying to leap out of her throat. None of this felt real...
After some time, her quivering words finally escaped her.
"I-Is... it true?"

Rufus was at the top of the stairs before realizing all of their shouting and commotion had literally STOPPED the ball. The entire room stared at the four of them in curiosity. Oh the gossip that would ring through the halls once people awoke from their hungover stupors. He sent a deadly look to Dezzy. "Carry on with your dancing, you fools," he called out, watching as slowly but surely the orchestra picked up their melody again and people went on to dancing. No one wanted to piss him off, he supposed. He shook his head and looked at Kyrie staring at him and turned away, slightly embarrassed by Dezzy's outburst. No one was to know about that as long as he lived, and here she had blurted out the biggest secret he had ever held. He continued walking away though. There was nothing to talk about. Kyrie hated him, and that left no room for discussion. It pained him that this is how she found out.
Dezzy stared at her feet after a few moments before looking over at Kyrie and Reno. As the party continued on behind her she was truly confused for the first time in a long time. Rufus should be THANKING her. She found little use in hiding emotions or intentions, and now Kyrie knew and could act accordingly. What would be the point in keeping it hidden so long? Then she remembered all of his vulnerabilities and reason why it could never work, and realized what she and Reno had done had done more damage than the cool blond would ever let on. She approached Kyrie carefully. "Its true... he hides it well, but he really does find it... refreshing to get shit from someone instead of having them fall at his feet like he's a god. He really is a good person once you give him a chance and break down his barriers..." she said in a small voice, clasping her hands in front of her. "We used to fight a lot like that too, but then we found a common goal and now I'd even venture to say we're friends... as close as either of us get to having friends... Please don't be too hard on him."
Part of her felt like she should go after her boss and try to talk to him, but another part knew she had created enough damage for one day. She looked at her red headed friend as if she needed help dealing with a difficult situation. Nixie bounced over to Reno and nudged his leg playfully with bright eyes. She gave a happy squeak at finding her favorite play person.

___________________________
___________________________ Kyrie didn't know what to think, she felt physically sick... She never did well with affection and neither did she like people going behind her back when it came to these things. She wasn't glaring at anything in particular, but found her target to be the floor. Once Dezzy had finished blabbering, the brunette shoot her a look worse than death, not really caring what she had to say. "So you thought it to be a good idea to go behind our backs, oh, it's alright... it's all fun and games for you both, what the hell would you two know about love?!" she spat, pushing past them both as she went in the same direction as Rufus, her last words were sarcastic "Being with someone like him, you certainly know how to pick them, given he isn't already eyeing up the next girl he sees."
Reno looked visibly hurt by those words though he couldn't deny it, he tried protesting to Kyrie's behavior towards Dezzy but she was already gone. He turned and looked at the blonde. "Boy... we really did screw up," he groaned, rubbing the back off his head unsure what to say now as he'd never really been in such an emotional situation "uhm... are you okay? Don't mind her... she's just... stubborn." He really didn't know what to say...
Meanwhile, Kyrie had already caught up with the blonde male, her heels stamping into the ground as she marched over to him, standing a ways from him in the corridor before snarling out her next words. "I suggest you extinguish those feelings, fool," her gaze was like ice as she picked up the pace once more, walking straight past him as she shot him an icy glare "because they will never be reciprocated, you're wasting your time!"

___________________________
Dezzy flinched as Kyrie snapped at her, looking sadly at Reno. "I... I think i'll be fine... Rufus I'm not so sure of... That was pretty stupid of us..." she looked at the floor, still confused and now a bit sad. Then she looked up at Reno. She knew he liked women, and he had often caught him looking at others, but from what she had read that was perfectly normal for guys. She didn't hold it against him, and she couldn't figure out why anyone would. Then again women were emotional and irrational when it came to love. "There's really no fixing this one is there?"
She sighed softly, watching Kyrie storm off after Rufus. "Can we... can we go outside or something? I... I think I need to get away from this place..." She had never dealt with such feelings before, and while she could easily read off their dictionary meanings, betrayal, hurt, love... those had little personal meaning to her, and left her wondering how big this situation really was.
Rufus on the other hand was flustered at the fact that the one thing he never wanted anyone to know had just been basically shouted in front of everyone that worked for the company, including the very object of his slight affection. He knew there was no chance in hell they'd ever be together. No one needed to tell him that, least of all Kyrie... Still the words stung like a knife to his heart. "If I was asking for reciprocation I would have told you myself! Not by some idiot girl shouting it for the whole world to hear!" he growled at her but then sighed. He wasn't angry at her though for stating the obvious. He was angry at Reno and Dezzy for the betrayal of his trust. "Assholes. Should have known they were up to no good. They never are."

___________________________
___________________________ Reno just merely sighed, running a hand through his hair as he tried to process the drama which had just unfolded. "Eh... what are ya gonna do?" he said hypothetically before shrugging his shoulders almost as if he had forgotten what had just occurred. He looked over at Dezzy, slightly feeling bad for dragging her into this, after all... it kind of was his fault to begin with, he shouldn't have been so stupid but there was not a lot which could be done about it now. Returning back to his usual carefree self, he grinned before taking her by the hand and leading her up the stairs until the were both on the balcony where other couples had gone to get away from everyone else. He looked over to notice a parade going on which made him snort. "Heh, the President sure does like to go all out, huh?" he smirked before looking over at Dezzy, wondering if she really was alright.
Kyrie on the other hand just rolled her eyes as Rufus shouted after her, her eyes squinting in a glare. "Not that it matters however you tell me! You're an idiot," she spat, standing there confidently "Who in their right mind would ever feel anything towards you!? I fucking hate you, what do you not get about that? Are you truly so blind!?"
Just the sight of him repelled her as she looked away, she hated being in situations like this.

Dezzy sighed and stared out into the night. "I don't... understand... I mean, I get what we did wasn't exactly nice... but I thought... UGH if you HAVE feelings for someone why can't you just say it without social backlash and stupid gimmicks?! It's... DISGUSTING and just UNNATURAL! I don't get it!" she shouted into the darkness, scaring some of the other people away from the balcony. "Why can't it just be that simple Reno? Why is there such a need to HIDE that shit?! I don't GET it!"
She sniffled a bit, resting her forehead against his arm. "Why do people have to be so fucking complicated? Why can they just... make SENSE... like this. this makes sense..."
Rufus just huffed and glared back at her. "It doesn't matter anyways. You've said what you needed to say, and that's all there is to it. Knew this whole thing was going to end in a shitstorm. Just didn't think it was Dezzy that'd be causing it," he shook his head and started to head towards his room.

___________________________ Sitting down, Reno just watched as she began ranting her irritation, he had to admit it was kind of adorable though she did have a point, but being young, he supposed she didn't know a few things about the L word. "Well, some people just can't bring themselves to say anything... It doesn't mean they're being awkward, I mean I guess we can't judge 'em, some people are just afraid of being hurt or hurting the ones they care about, that's why they get pushed away," he shrugged, not really much of a touch and feels kind guy when it came to emotion, he just shook his head as if shaking any bad thoughts out "eh, it's something Rude told me. Love is complicated."
He shifted uncomfortably, not particularly wanting to mention the whole kiss thing earlier, he decided it would just make her feel awkward... Plus she was still young, he figured it was just an in the moment kind of thing, he wasn't really sure if he wanted to start a relationship, the life of a Turk wasn't exactly an easy one and neither did it come without its dangers.

Dezzy sighed and shook her head, still not understanding. "Nothing in this world is truly complicated. EVERYTHING can be broken down into facts, numbers and logical reasoning. That's just how the world works," she frowned. Hers was a world of technology; of equations and physics and numbers. Everthing always just WORKED as far as she was concerned. She couldn't make heads nor tails of it. "I've always lived in a world that what you feel is what you feel... there's no point in hiding it or bottling it up to me. In the end, that hurts you even more than just being rejected or coming out with it at the beginning. I guess that's not how it works for everyone though, is it?"
She gave the red head a dazzling smile. "You know, I was really bummed out when you didn't ask me to the ball right away. I really thought you were going to, but you never did... I don't know why but it made me sad. I like you a lot Reno. You're the first real friend I've had in a long time. Nixie doesn't count because she's more my baby than a friend..." she was honest with him, just like she always was. "I'm... uh... I'm sorry about the kiss thing earlier... I just... I heard it was really nice to kiss someone you liked, and I always wanted to try..."

It was a Saturday and the night was going all to his planning, first it was a work out in the training rooms during the early mornings and ending at noon by which he would have a read of loveless and a quick lunch, afterwards it would be a training session with 2nd class SOLDIERs where they spoke over tactics and adaptive skills needed for the field and then followed at the early evenings more training on his magic, specifically Firaga, it was now eleven at night and the SOLDIER had finished his many hours of training and took the elevator downstairs to get outside where he would exit the lobby and go home for the eve but what he found was most unexpected and peculiar. There was a woman dressed in a large, lacy, thrill dress that distended outwards and spread across the shiny marble flooring, Genesis recognised her as a SOLDIER from the white streak in her brunette colourer hair.
He approached her with a look of amazement as the gall this woman possessed to be dressed in such unfitting attire for a member of SOLDIER and also questioned why she wasn’t at her station, all this whilst storming towards her with LOVELESS in his right hand and his free hand within his pocket.
“Excuse me” he spoke with authority and professionalism for a man of such reputation, looking down at her with an expression of insult, like her very presence put him off from looking at her. “Don’t you know it’s unfitting to be dressed in such cloths, why are you wearing it? Have you no respect for your position?” Genesis looked at her with distain and shook his head at the audacity this masked female had performed in his presence, by just simply standing there.
“What if we were to be under attack hmm? I’m sure the enemy will take an interest what’s under that... Tent, you call a dress however you have no means or use to help neither yourself nor ShinRa, get out of those clothes and dress into something proper!” The auburn haired man slapped his book shut between his fingers of his right hand and crossed both arms as if expecting an apology for this girls mere existence, the subtle growl behind his lips showed that there was irritation that he could not swallow back and he made it known that he wasn’t impressed at all.
The hallways of the interior on the first floor were empty and made both their presence all the more bigger when it came to “who can be the loudest” Genesis has scorch marks upon his hands, trousers and jacket from training with fire and a few accidents needless to say had occurred, one of the reasons why he was going to drop by his home. The night pressed onwards and fireworks suddenly boomed outside where the common folk celebrated and partied the night away in festival and to president ShinRa, cheers and laughter could be heard even in the ShinRa Corp interior though it was light due to the thick metallic surfaces of the walls and reinforced flooring.
Genesis looked to the direction of the blast and looked outside in a look of horror, jumping to conclusions due to his lack of rest and he suddenly looked to the masked SOLDIER and barked out his thoughts, “Do you see that! Not a few moments after I tell you we’re under attack! And what do you know!” He gestured with both hands dramatically to the nearby window “We’re under attack! Get into something you can move in woman and now fly away from a gust of wind! We have a raid to respond to!”

___________________________
___________________________ For a while, the young woman just stood there as she attempted to compose herself after the uproar which had recently occurred. Her thoughts seemed to rush back and forth as she attempted to process the situation though what was there to process?! Everything seemed like a complete disaster. Thinking that the night couldn't get even more ridiculous, it was at that moment that a familiar auburn haired 1st Class began to make his way towards her, she was about to smile and greet him but he beat her to it... though not in the way she had hoped. She looked at him, surprised, as he began incoherent babbling about some nonsense or other. Her eyelids fluttering as she blinked in slight confusion, what on earth was he on about? Didn't he recogni--oh right, the mask.
She brought a hand up, using the index finger to scratch her cheek as she just stared at her childhood friend as if he were some form of strange life form, she didn't know whether to smack her forehead or laugh! He rambled on about her attire which led her to wonder how he had forgotten about today, practically everyone had been forced to attend, even SOLDIER of his rank. This was seriously getting out of hand, he was acting worse than a patient with PTSD and even though it was amusing to watch him babble on, she couldn't help but feel she needed to sort him out one way or another. Reaching a hand up, she tapped on his skull in hopes to wake him up slightly from his outburst. "Uhm, Gaia to Genesis? Hellooo, is Rhapsodos in there? I'd like to speak to him please!" she said rather comically, internally she was actually grateful he had shown up as his actions were amusing "It's the Presidents birthday today, genius! And those aren't bombs, they're fireworks... you know? Pretty sparkly things in the sky that go off during celebrations? What? Did you think that orchestra was some sort of bad guy appearance theme? I think you've taken one too many Fira to the head..."
Kyrie stood there, arms crossed and head shaking at the elder male, honestly not knowing what to do with him sometimes. Though in truth, the two hadn't spoken since... well... see she didn't know how to answer that and she figured with this mask on that obviously he wouldn't know or recognise her. These bloody masks were more trouble than what they were worth. Reaching up, she carefully removed the cursed thing before looking back at the red loving male, a typical look on her face. "Gee, nice to see you too, Genesis," she said sarcastically but with a smile.
---
Reno on the other hand, couldn't help but enjoy the company which he received. His trademark smirk forming on his lips. "I was gonna, but I had a lot of paperwork to sort out and after our little escape that day, I was getting an earful from Tseng, man that guy can jabber on..." he chuckled, stretching slightly before bringing his arms back down onto his lap. He wasn't sure what to say to her after she explained her feelings towards affection, though Reno wouldn't exactly know, he didn't love nor was he even ready for a committed relationship, his job as a Turk was dangerous, with each mission there was a possibility of death but that wasn't his concern. He was still young, still had so much more of the world to see and people to meet before he even begun to think of who he'd spend the rest of his life with.
He didn't know what to say as she admitted to liking him in that way, so long as it wasn't the major L word - he wouldn't know how to take it. The red head raised a brow, he guessed she was still young and being an insider she didn't know much of physicality to that extent though he wasn't exactly going to take advantage of that, she was just still so young... She had to be sure of herself before rushing these things. "Hey, it's all good, I am pretty irresistible anyway," he chuckled, rubbing a hand through his hair as they continued watching the parades. Though he couldn't help but notice something from within the building, just where broody blondie had stormed off. He nudged the younger blonde before pointing over at where Kyrie stood with a familiar 1st Class.
"Hey, is that....?"

“You insubordinate little-“
Genesis stopped in mid sentence when the trouble maker in front of him revealed herself to be his childhood friend, Kyrie, he remembered her differently with more of a boyish persona but of course it had been years since they had seen one another and if truth be told he couldn’t help but be fixated at her physique and how much she had grown into a young woman. Pushing those thoughts to the side he took a step back and looked at her up and down more carefully with a perked brow and blank expression, “We’re not under attack?” Was all the words he could muster and even they were shaky to the point of comical value, he blinked a multitude of times before attempting to retain his calm demeanour, folding his arms behind himself and taking the stance of a saluted positioning, both legs together with the poise of a superior officer.
It took a few lengthy moments for Genesis to digest what had just happened but what really hit him was the dress he had seen her wearing, this in toe caused him to crack a mischievous smile as he cocked his head to the right and took in her form once more “Are you sure that dress fits you? Your hips aren’t lying right now” he blurted the last word out as he realized that a SOLDIER of his calibre had just admitted to have taken an interest in her hips.... The shame... He recoiled once more and lowered his head releasing a sigh, “Forgive me, my mind isn’t with me after such an abrupt encounter...” He looked back up with those same oceanic blue eyes that motioned as clear waves.
In truth he was very happy, grateful even to have met her, he was starting to feel so lonely and set apart from others, even from his own two best friends...
The auburn haired gentleman suddenly formed the expression of horror as another cold fact walloped him in the face, “Did you say, celebration?” He tensed as he looked down towards the stairs which led to the lobby and if you were quiet enough even through the thick leaded metallic substance which protected the interior of the super structure you could hear the celebration taking place with the noises of dancing, feasting drinking, cheering and other such bluster of enrichments that the common folk lacked. Genesis suddenly lost all his poise and pressed his back against the wall looking down with dread marking his face, “The presidents going to kill me....” He spoke with great worry and a cracked voice of higher pitches than what was intended but he couldn’t care as he knew as soon as he entered the lobby the president would make him look the fool, the fact he didn’t even know a celebration was going on only made his worsen his situation, he would also need to get through the lobby to be able to go home, get changed and come back so either way there would be a bollocking coming his way.
“And today started off so well... God Sephiroth and Angeal will never let me live it down...” the unique man raised his head with the blanketed look of suspicion “Where are those two...” He questioned the air in front of him then he looked down to Kyrie and shook his head, “Its always me that finds myself in these precarious situations...” His knowledge of wording never faltered even as an adult and if anything it was more impressive than when he was a mere child, something that he never lacked.
“Oh, umm, why are you here? Didn’t you like the party downstairs?” He knew why he was here of course but the sheer shock of his situation caused him to forget about Kyrie for a moment but now his attention was back now he accepted what was waiting for him.

___________________________
___________________________ Kyrie bit her lower lip, snickering softly at her friend's antics - he truly hadn't changed much, had he? Despite his adult ways, she still saw the young boy she grew up with, one of which she cared for and loved dearly. Shaking her head at him, she smiled as if remembering why she tolerated him so. "No, Hero... although fireworks can be dangerous things when use improperly..." she pointed out playfully whilst using her nickname for him, it was saying that which triggered a feint memory of the two during a Banora festival, playing with the fiercest and most impressive fireworks during their youth which in turn granted them both the punishment of cleaning up the entire event once over. If it hadn't been for their fathers, the village would've been blown up by the young ones.
It was then his next words caught her off guard. Her hips!? What in Gaia's name? She looked at her friend with a near horrified expression, bringing her hand up as she gave him a light tap on the cheek, frowning in a scolding manner. "Such impoliteness towards one of your bests friends, Genesis... shame on you for commenting so rudely on a woman's figure," she mocked playfully with pout lips, though she supposed she had developed quite quicker than most women her age which sometimes put her off. She crossed her arms under her chest whilst eyeing him, still keeping up the playful act as she huffed "At least I don't look like fried chocobo."
Oh, how the years had gone by so fast... First they were young children playing around in the mud, their parents often bringing up the subject of marriage which only ever received the odd childish protest - they were friends, such thoughts were alien to them... but now here they were, both young adults and she figured Genesis would one day develop into a handsome young gentleman however she could never see her friend in such a way. She wondered if he still remembered their parents's plans.
Her eyelids fluttered slightly in surprise as she now saw that he was hiding from something, his next words allowed a chuckle to sing from her chords. "My my, the Hero, Genesis, afraid of the great big blob monster?" she teased, her seven year old self slipping out with those words as she remembered their little games. She merely just brushed him off to make him look the least bit more presentable. "Oh hush, you look fine as you are... besides, I'm sure you 1st Classes get special exceptions," she smiled though felt slightly bitter about that fact. The few years that she had been here, her friend had always been busy with his 1st Class lifestyle to the point of never interacting with her. Had she really been forgotten so easily?
She decided it didn't matter. Asking her why she was up here, she visibly shuddered, shaking her head as if to forget. "Let's just say a small drama occurred, but you really don't want to know, I'd rather forget it if you don't mind," she muttered, sounding visibly upset and disturbed "though lets just say if you hadn't shown up, my evening would've been for nothing." Truly, it felt much more calmer and less tense now that he was here, especially when acting so... comical. It didn't take her long to think of something for the two of them to do, plus she hardly thought he would've liked to have stuck around now that he felt the President was going to scold him.
"Wanna go see the parade?"
