Characters: All the Heroes of Light and their Moogles.
Where: Order's Sanctuary, The Interdimensional Rift and their Homeworlds.
When: August 03rd - August 30th

Summary: Following the battle against Palitutu, all the Heroes of Light were transported into the Interdimensional Rift. They were told by Palitutu they would have to find her to prove they can break the cycle-- But before they could reach their destination, a malevolent entity from the Rift stripped them from their immortality...

And now, they woke up in a decaying and dying world, most specifically in a place called Order's Sanctuary. From there they are ready to jump... Into their homeworlds! Feel free to use this post for the Mingle at Order's Sanctuary and should your homeworld be the stage for the Heroes of Lights' next adventures, feel free to make a thread for it and as many sub-thread as necessary! Please refer to the OOC Post for questions and plotting.

Warning: Whatever you come up with.

"Well... I might've made him help me." Reno smirked. "I found out he was a Sohma, I wasn't about t' take no for an answer."

If it meant finding Kyo, Reno would use whoever he had to. And maybe he did.

"What...?" He frowned, though, at Kyo's outburst. Who was Yuki to him that the mention of such a favor would make him so angry? Even having the Sohma name, being from the judgmental Sohma family, even with that shadow on Yuki's reputation, Reno would have assumed Kyo would be at least somewhat relieved that Yuki had been helpful. It dawned on him belatedly what context their current situation might add.

"Whoa! Whoa, whoa, no, Crystallis is nothin' like Atia, nothin' like that happened!" he added hurriedly. "No, that is not... what I meant. At all."

Kyo blinked at that, and then shook his head with an exasperated sigh. Well, that was like Reno, wasn’t it. “You… sap,” he grumbled, but obviously touched that Reno would go through such lengths for him. Even if it did involve forcing his cousin to look for him. He still wasn’t fond of the idea of Yuki helping Reno track him down. Not that he blamed Reno for it at all; he just didn’t like Yuki getting involved in his life. (Even if he was, obviously.)

Yes, he was relieved that Yuki had helped Reno, but… Ugh, this wasn’t going to make much sense to Reno unless he went into detail. And, well… the Turk knew how much Kyo loved talking about his past. Though he started a little when Reno suddenly seemed to make a connection. And started protesting? An orange brow went up and he peered at his boyfriend for several seconds. He got that Crystallis wasn’t like Atia (assumed he got it). But after a few seconds, his brain put it together and he recoiled instantly.

“NO!” Kyo made a face, lifting his own hands to wave at the idea. “Hell, no I wasn’t—I didn’t think that!” Ew gross, now he was thinking that and it made his stomach twist. “Honestly, Reno, I didn’t think that at all!” He guessed about Johnny but didn’t think Reno acted like he did in Atia when he wasn’t in Atia.

With a frustrated sigh, he rubbed at his head again. “No it… It just… Tsk, Yuki’s always been better than me, more liked, the “perfect” one in the family. Even if someone meets me first, if they meet Yuki, it… They just go to him, okay?!” Even as he said it, he felt guilty, stupid. Because he knew Reno better than that. Knew he didn’t have to doubt him. And yet… it was hard to shake what he just returned from again.

“Sorry… I just…” Don’t want you to leave me.

Well that was a relief, at least. Even when Reno fucked other people, he tried not to go after ones who were related.

"Why? Because he's quiet an' polite with pale skin like a delicate flower?" Reno scoffed. "That don't do it for me. People ain't quiet 'cause they got nothin' to say."

It was the quiet ones who had a lot more going on upstairs -- for better or worse. They were the thinkers, the clever ones, and that made them dangerous -- never saying what they thought, lying by omission, plotting with a straight face. It's what made Rude an excellent partner. But it's also why Reno wouldn't trust a "perfect" stranger.

"Nobody's perfect. Someone who looks that way 's too good to be true, yo." Reno gave a half shrug. "He came through in a pinch. He was a nice enough guy. But I don't prefer 'im."

Kyo wasn’t really one to go talking about Reno’s habits or his love life. But he wasn’t able to stop those feelings when it came to his own family. Honestly, he shouldn’t care what Yuki did, but… He was glad neither he nor Reno had to deal with that pile of awkward.

A small “hmph” slipped out and Kyo averted his gaze, red coloring his face when Reno confronted him about his outburst. It was… Well it was damn embarrassing! He’d just freaked out like some jealous kid! Even if it hadn’t been what either of them thought, the issue was still there! Kyo was jealous of Yuki and hated the rat’s damn guts!

But at least Reno’s words helped. He didn’t even find it in himself to doubt the other man (mostly because he knew Reno well enough to know what he was saying was true.) He sighed and ran his hand through his hair, nodding in agreement to the other man’s words. Of course Reno wouldn’t be drawn to “perfect” because that was more or less a slap in the face to everything Reno stood for and came from.

“Sorry,” he finally mumbled, embarrassed and frustrated, but relieved regardless. “I’m not pissed at you or anything…” Hell, he’d been with Reno calmly while Rufus and Cloud had both been involved with the Turk. Honestly, their relationship might even be seen by some as merely “leftovers,” two people who had no one else to turn to and yet lived together. Of course if was much more to that than Kyo. He loved Reno, honest and true. Regardless of what people said.

“I’m glad he helped you. Really. You’re… the most important person I’ve got. So…I’m glad.”

"Good." Reno smiled and reached out to stroke Kyo's cheek fondly. There was so much more he wanted to do, so much more he wanted to say. Later. They'd have time later, once this was done and they were all safely in Crystallis again. He hoped Johnny wouldn't mind Kyo coming to live with them. They could easily get a larger apartment if they had to (though that was hardly the issue).

He'd figure it out.

"Alright." He gave Kyo one last kiss on the forehead. "We should head back. I just didn't wanna leave things the way they were."

[cat_cursed_13]

Kyo pinked hotly as Reno stroked his cheek and he glanced to the side, embarrassed but obviously happy. Even if they had reunited in these strange circumstances and things had happened... it was an indescribable relief to know that their feelings remained with each other. But he knew there was more, more to say, more to do, more things that lingered.

It'd have to come later. When they had a way out of this place once again. When he would follow Reno once more. Willingly, wantingly. Figure things out later though. Right now, there were more pressing matters.

Kyo whined some at the kiss on his forehead. Then caught the other man by the collar and pulled him down and close. Lips pressed to lips and he kissed Reno firmly on the mouth, eyes closing at the familiar sensation and longing.

A gentle breath and he separated. "Okay. Thanks. I'm glad you told me. Sorry... for being kinda a dick about it."
