Title: The Void
Author: Gothatheartholo
Fandom: FF7
Character/Pairing: Rufus Shinra (there’s a sliiiiiight hint of Rufus/Reno, but it’s really just a tiny detail). 
Rating/Warning: PG 
Disclaimer: I don’t own or make money off this. 
Summary: …that a strange kind of silence would invade the calm, focused stillness of his office and made him freeze. Post AC, not DoC compliant. 
A/n: Random Rufus-centered ficlet. Only looked through once, will edit more tomorrow. My pride wouldn't allow me to let this thing posted until I edited it at least twice. Damn.

Compromise
-Hololicious

Another impromptu meeting,
No facades, no pretenses, no lies.
But they are still looking and seeing,
For slips and cracks--anything that hides.

They both know immense suffering,
But they’re too lost-- even now.
The pain, the agony-- too blinding.
One would ask just how

they are ever going to get along.
How can this ever be done?
He holds up the world for a long
while; the other has the heart and the sun.

They ask for forgiveness.
They ask for repentance.
He wants a blooming business.
He wants a balance.

“You can’t use me,” he says.
“I wasn’t trying to,” the other replies.
“But you are.” A fact, no guess.
A sigh. “Aren’t we allies?”

“Right.” A chuckle here and there.
“Yes,” the other smiles perfectly.
Blue-green eyes then glare.
“Just wait and see.”
