Title: Redheads

Disclaimer: If I owned this, ya'll'd be buyin' a copy of it, but no, I don't, so ya'll get ta read it fer free! Ain't ya lucky that 'm poor?

Setting: Uhh, well, "Blondes" didn't have one...so this doesn't either.

Summary: How bad of a temper do redhead's have? How possessive are redheads? How quick-witted are redheads? How sensitive are they to pain? How low are a redhead's morals? How sexually promiscuous are redheads? Are redheads addicted to sex and sugar? Is Reno a witch or just malnourished? Cloud's determined to get some answers about redheads, Reno just doesn't know it. Sequel to "Blondes" but can stand alone, I think...

Warnings: -Laughs hysterically-Uhh...yeah, ya'll should kinda know what ta expect from me by now. If not, be prepared ta be surprised!

Chapter One: Sugar

Cloud grinned almost darkly as he looked down at the sleeping Turk. Today was the day he put his plan into action, knowing that Reno had probably forgotten that he was seeking his revenge against the redheaded loudmouth. Reaching into his pocket, he gently touched the folded piece of paper, similar to the one he found a few weeks ago, that contained a list of questions he wanted answered. The blonde remembered Tifa's confusion when he asked to borrow her encyclopedia for a bit of research. He smiled as he recalled the brief section about redheads, which helped him create his list.

Giving Reno one last glance, Cloud got out of bed and picked up a discarded pair of pants to wear. Once the article was pulled up to his thighs, the blonde groaned, realizing that they were to small for him to wear without any underwear. Rolling his eyes, he took off the Turk's pants and grabbed his own, putting them on instead.

Cloud walked into the kitchen, knowing that he would have to get breakfast started if Reno was to wake up early enough for him to get to work on time. He grinned mischievously, putting on a pink apron, once he realized that he could use that information as a part of his plan for vengeance. Still grinning, he opened the refrigerator and pulled out all of the ingredients that he would need, especially the bananas; he had learned that Reno favored that fruit over any other.

The blonde swiftly organized the food to his liking, after all, he took over the entire kitchen. Settling on stuffed French toast, Cloud started to prep the meal, cutting up bananas and spooning out peanut butter, sugar, and butter, knowing that the smell would be strong enough to wake up the sleeping man in the other room. He paused momentarily, almost feeling a bit of regret towards Rude, who had taken to picking up his redheaded partner in the morning. Ignoring the feeling, he started to heat up a pan, knowing it would not be long before Reno would grace him with his presence.

Once the French toast was plated, Reno staggered into the room, yawning as he stretched. Cloud grinned as he watched the Turk for his reaction upon seeing his breakfast. Looking at the plate before him, the redhead's eye opened wide. Seeing the white Cool-whip, sliced bananas, and brightly colored sprinkles that topped the meal, which was covered with maple syrup and powdered sugar, the Turk's mouth watered.

"Uhh...Chocobo-Head?" Reno asked, his eyes remaining on the plate. "Wh-what's this for?"

"Just because," Cloud said, smiling slightly. "I thought I'd make something sweet for you, after all, you've got an important mission today, right?"

"Yeah...but I've had missions before..." he said, licking his lips. "An' this might give me diabetes..."

"Would you rather have 'Choco Coco Puffs'?"

"Nope!"

Almost instantly, Reno dug in, his eyes widening even more at the sudden taste of peanut butter, making Cloud smile with how easy it was for his plan to work. The blonde slowly ate his toast and eggs, deciding not to risk cavities by eating the almost desert-like breakfast. When they both finished, the pair sat down at the new, plush couch, watching the larger, newer television.

As they sat there in silence, Cloud realized that Reno's foot was rapidly shaking, which was something that had not happened before. Feeling triumphant, the blonde ignored the action until he felt even more shaking. Looking over at the redhead, the blonde paused, noticing that he was twitching and chuckling while wringing his hands in his pants.

Seeing how dilated his eyes were, the blonde wondered if maybe it was a bad idea to give the redhead all that sugar. Before he could think on this, the redhead jumped up from the couch and sprinted into his bedroom, leaving the stunned blonde in his wake. Cloud decided to follow him and was almost shocked to see the speed with which the redhead was getting dressed and fixing his hair. When the Turk was done, he bolted out of the room and into the kitchen, leaving the swordsman standing in the doorway.

Following the redhead, Cloud made into the kitchen in time to see the Turk search through the cupboards. Before he could ask what he was searching for, the blonde watched as the thinner man pulled out a small container of sugar and poured it into his mouth. Shocked, the leader of Avalanche hurried after him. Seeing the blonde, the redheaded man dove out of the man's path, cackling madly as he did so. Still being chased, he hurried out of the kitchen and into the living room, barely missing running into the coffee table. The recliner, however, was a different story. Flipping over the piece of furniture, the Turk crashed to the the room, making Cloud pause uncertainly. Suddenly, maniacal laughter could be heard, putting the standing man on edge.

"Reno...?" Cloud asked, looking in the direction of the crumpled man and wondering if he ended up hurting himself. "...Are you all right?" Reno jumped to his feet, startling the blonde, before he bounced up and down on the heels of his feet.

"Fine! Neverbeenbetter! Why'dyaask,yo?" Reno replied quickly, making Cloud blink at the sheer rapidity of the statement.

"Would you like some coffee to calm down?"

"Sure! Withlotsan'lotsofsugar!"

"...Black it is."

Whining, the redhead followed after the blonde, attempting to pester him at every given chance. Sighing, the swordsman started to make a fresh pot of coffee, watching how the Turk happily bounced around him. Once the pot of black liquid was done, the blonde handed the thinner redhead a cup of it, adding no cream or sugar. He was able to get Reno to drink it with the promise of sweets, which made him eagerly drink it.

Once he had downed it, the Turk was disappointed to find out that he would not be getting said sweets until later. Suddenly, a knock came from the door, making Cloud smile widely before heading towards it. Opening it and seeing Rude, the blonde's smile widened.

"Great! He's your problem now!" Before the Turk could even ask, a red, white, and black blur sped back them, making him pause.

"...Reno had sugar, didn't he?" At the blonde's nod, he sighed and hurried after his partner. Closing the door, Cloud walked deeper into the apartment, taking out his folded list and getting a pen off of the coffee table. Next to one of the questions, he wrote down, "Redheads are addicted to sugar. A padded room is a necessary if trying this one again," before his cell phone rang. Knowing that it was Tifa, he refolded his list and put it back in his pocket before sighing to himself and answering the call. He was going to have a long day of deliveries ahead of him...
