Blind Obedience (Final Fantasy VII, Reno/Cloud)

Reno knelt in the center of the room, naked except for the thick leather collar around his neck, wrists crossed loosely behind his back, and waited patiently. He kept his eyes closed, resting while he could. For the moment, he was alone in the room, but that could change at any moment. When he walked in he’d noticed the setup was different from what he was used to. There was a ring of couches and chairs lining the walls of the otherwise empty room, which meant there was going to be an audience today. Likely a small audience, considering the chairs seem to have been selected more for comfort than for creating available space. It wasn’t the first time he’d been made to perform for someone else, or for several someones, as the case may be.

The door started to open. Reno’s eyes automatically focused on it and the man who walked in – Tseng, his master. He said nothing and stayed perfectly still, as was expected of him. His curiosity was piqued as General Sephiroth followed Tseng into the room along with a young, spiky-haired blonde man, similarly naked though his collar was attached to a leash, the other end of which was held in Sephiroth’s hand. He was also blindfolded, which meant that Reno was likely to be as well shortly. Sephiroth lead the blonde with gentle, short tugs, suggesting that this was not the first time the leash had seen use.

Reno’s contemplation was cut off as Tseng came to a halt behind him. Thick black cloth draped across Reno’s face then tightened, blocking off Reno’s view of the room. Exhaling slowly, Reno stilled his nerves. Without sight, his other senses seemed sharper. He heard a metallic click followed by a rustling sound. Flesh on flesh, the blonde was likely kneeling close by.
