Disclaimer- Of course, I own nothing from FFVII including Reno and Yuffie.

(A/N) Ah, the epilogue and official conclusion of Under My Skin. Finished it faster than I thought I would. Really this chapter was my own selfish desire for some last minute lemony-ish fluff but I had a fun time writing it. That really goes for the whole fic. And, of course, after having so much fun with this one I have to write another Reffie in the future though it will be better quality hopefully. I like to think I learned something from writing this one. Anyway, here's your epilogue.


This was not good.

Yuffie found herself in a compromising position, unable to take the offensive or keep her defensive and she was struggling to keep her cool.

"What's wrong Yuffie?" that arrogant smirk drove her insane, "make your move…"

The ninja scowled at the redhead who leered at her with eyes that were suggestive and indescribably irritating at the same time. She knew he was teasing her to knock her off guard. His thoughts were transparent to the girl, who consistently used similar tactics but it did nothing to lessen their effect. There was no denying that they kept each other on their toes and it was clear that she, indeed, had met her match.

Yuffie knitted her eyebrows together thoughtfully and pondered her next actions. If she was to use her fallback gambit, he'd surely see right through it. But there wasn't really any other choice was there?

She revealed her hand and kept her face as straight as possible. After a long silence, Reno snickered, slowly laying his assortment on the table. Upon seeing the combination, Yuffie exhaled in defeat.

"Well that's funny," he lowered his eyes at her as mischief played across his features, "I could have sworn there were only four aces in a deck," he smiled darkly.

Yuffie looked down to her cards: three aces, a queen of diamonds, and a two of spades. She could see Reno's hand consisted of two aces, a king of hearts, a seven of clubs, and a jack of spades. Crap.

"What I want to know," he paused to survey the girl, "is how you managed to hide those cards with the clothes you're wearing… or lack thereof."

The ninja looked down to her body, unclad of anything but his favorite pair of panties and a green polka-dotted bra trimmed with lace, courtesy of Tifa. Yuffie never expected her to be so supportive of her and Reno's relationship but she insisted that they had too much in common to overlook. The same couldn't be said for Cloud though, who even after time, was disapproving of the term 'boyfriend'.

"That's my little secret," she grinned in an attempt to match his insatiable friskiness. After all, it was one of those abundant days that the Turk got bored with his free time after work and Yuffie just happened to be bored all the same. These countless occasions resulted in a phone call and a visit to fritter the time away. Staying in Edge had advantages and disadvantages: she could be closer to Reno and the Strife 'family' but unless she was out roaming the streets, it got a bit redundant. To remedy this, the pair resorted to the occasional dinner or movie or, in this case, shed clothes.

"Either way, you know the rules," he smiled devilishly.

Yuffie decided not to argue and reached back to untie her headband before Reno stopped her with an addition.

"But I think it's only fair for me to decide what you have take off next," he snickered.

"What?" her eyes widened in contrast to her smile, "That's not fair!"

"And your little card trick was?"

The ninja's smile twisted into a pout as she crossed her arms, "Fine. What comes off?"

"I say…" he took the time to study her features before his stare roamed over her exposed body, "the bra goes," he waved his hand in front of her chest.

"The bra?" she raised her eyebrows.

"Of course."

"But-" she stopped herself as Reno pushed himself up from his chair, only donning his goggles, pants and… well the elastic that tied his hair back because she wouldn't let him get away with considering that a piece of clothing. It was only fair because he didn't consider her earrings, a piercing inspired by his small hoop, as an item to be removed either.

He sauntered over to her and bent down to meet her eyes, lifting her chin up to his level and smirking at her ever slight blush, "I could take it off for you…"

Yuffie smiled as he kissed her neck and trailed a thumb across her jaw line down to her chin. She ran her hands up his bare chest and joined them around his neck in response.

"Or…" he brought his face to hers again and captured her lips in a light kiss.

"Or?" she breathed. Time wasn't a factor in Reno's ability to make her heart pound. He scooped her up in his arms briefly before laying her down on the bed. The redhead ensnared her frame, which was becoming irresistibly more sinuous by the second and leaned down to whisper in her ear.

"We could always think of another penalty," he grinned and kissed her again. The ninja brushed off the fact that this could hardly be considered a consequence and raked a hand through his hair.

"Why couldn't I just take off the headband?" she hummed with a smile in her voice, planting small pecks around his face and neck.

"The headband is the only thing I want to see on you," he murmured and trailed a finger over her stomach, feeling goose bumps rise in its wake.

"I could say the same for your goggles…" she giggled as she arched her back slightly to brush more of his skin.

He quirked his eyebrow at her onyx discs, interestingly clouded over with light-hearted playfulness and intense allure at the same time, "Pervert," he smiled.

"Oh, look who's talking," she laughed before bringing him down to another kiss.

"You know, I've been meaning to ask you something," Reno whispered, his voice holding a bit of gravity.

"Yeah?" she puckered her lips at his sudden hint of sincerity.

"How long have we been together now?" he kissed her neck again.

"Umm…" she found it a bit hard to concentrate between his butterfly kisses and contradicting seriousness, "about 8 months. Why?"

"Well," he sighed, realizing he was about to break one of his most steadfast rules when it came to relationships, "I was wondering…"

Yuffie bit her lip in slight worry at his hesitance. He sighed again and took his eyes off her in an attempt to form the words in his mouth but the girl cupped her hands around his face and turned his head back to her with an anxious expression.

"What?" her tone wavered a little.

He took another moment of silence, trying to find the answer in her eyes before he asked but couldn't. The Turk swallowed his pride and exhaled sharply, deciding the band-aid method would be best for this.

"Do you want to move in with me?" he asked all in one rushed breath.

The girl couldn't bring herself to words as she observed the man's determined features masking his nervousness. She just laid there, hands still cupping his face and eyes wide. This question… from Reno? The king of 'keeping it casual'?

"Forget about it," he blurted, "It's fine if you say-"

"You dummy!" she screamed as she dragged him down into a hug so tight, Reno couldn't breathe. He winced as she squealed in his ear and pulled him into a deep kiss. When she stopped to finally take a breath, Reno seized the moment to pull away and recover from her affectionate barrage, raising his eyebrows at her with a hopeful grin.

"So is that a yes?" he asked.

"Yes!" she beamed.

Reno couldn't help but allow his smile to reach from ear to ear as he observed how blissful she was at the request. The ninja pulled him back down and tried to convey this indescribable happiness through her onslaught of kisses and laughs.

"Well this is a pretty convenient setup for a celebration, huh?" she giggled, causing Reno to look down at their semi-nude forms with a snicker.

"Yes it is…" he brought his smirk to hers as he slipped the lace strap off of her shoulder slowly, relishing the spiked breath in his ear. He let his hand travel from her neck to her chest and furrowed his eyebrows as he reached her bra and the foreign object that was now half revealed.

"Well well," Reno plucked the item from the polka-dotted silk and brought it up to her face with a grin, "this answers my other question," he laughed.

The girl bit her lip sheepishly as she laid eyes on the card he discovered. An ace of spades.

"Um… W-well about that," she stammered.

"Like I care," he growled seductively as he nipped at her ear and began to let his hands rove over her body again, free from the card he tossed onto the ground.

Yuffie lost herself in Reno's sweet kisses and whispers as she thought about what she would pack and how this: their listless days of sensual antics, would last longer than she anticipated.

Thank Leviathan for strip poker.


Well that's that. The End.

Okay here come the 'thank yous' (deep breath)... First off, I want to once again thank BruHaeven and GlassMermaid for their Reffies. They were the first I read for the fandom and drove me to make my own (story and fanfiction account) though mine doesn't quite compare yet. A big thank you goes out to wantan who was my first reviewer for the story and also the creator of some AWESOME fanart! I was so impressed and flattered that the story served as some inspiration. I also want to thank BK-Black Knight who served as motivating feedback during early chapters as well as kyuuby. Thanks to SanctumAsylum who seems to be a fan of both of my RenoxYuffie fics and MySoulsYoursTakeIt for support and that ending you mentioned was really cool. I kinda wish I thought of that. Lol I'm also really glad that I converted AvAtarAmeobA and VioletDreamsOfDay into Reffie lovers, god knows they need more shippers :)

Finally, thank you to all of the reviewers and readers in general as well as any future ones and I hope that you all had as much fun reading this as I did writing it.
