FIC: Bullet (3/?)
Well, with this chapter I make it abundantly clear that this fic will feature a budding relationship between Rufus and Reno. There's flirting mixed in with shop talk and bonding on a personal level. Some people will consider this business as usual (for me), but there's a level of restraint I'm practicing.
Some joint fanon with Sterling happening in this chapter so I'm giving credit where credit's due, though honestly our point of views became so entwined that often we forgot who came up with what idea.
Also, Reno has some inner conflict regarding his crush on Rufus, which I think is fair. It should be noted that I don't find anything wrong with conflict in Renoru, I just find most fics do it poorly. They always miss the obvious and go with the stereotypical, "but he's an asshole!" when I think the bigger conflict would be "oh shit. How much trouble am I gonna get into dating the president's son?"
Chapter summary: Reno shows up early in Junon to talk about the mission. Later that day they bond while taking a pit stop in Rocket Town and Reno stresses a bit over his burgeoning feelings for Rufus.
