[ there have been a few moments so far in which Reno has been made keenly aware of just how good Thancred is, how strong. how likely he is to throw himself into the line of fire for the sake of those who can't fight for themselves. maybe he doesn't see it, himself, but Reno does: the fierce warm glow of him, his determination and passion and desire to do what's right, no matter the cost.
illuminated from behind, light comes through the cracks. Reno thinks of that fragile moment on the gala dance floor, when he'd looked up into Thancred's face and felt the lure of temptation to crush this decliate thing growing between them before it had a chance to crush him first.
he should have done it. it would have been kinder. just the thought of how badly it will hurt Thancred to find out who, to find out what Reno really is (and he's under no delusions, here; Thancred will find out, eventually) aches enough that Reno has to pull the phone away from his face to exhale a sharp breath. he should have done it.
but Reno is selfish, and he cares about Thancred more than he knows how to put words to, so after no more than a second's pause he brings the phone back to his face and says, ] So you went up into space to fight your Jenova before she had a chance to land?
[ his incredulity isn't false, either. what in the hells were they thinking? ]

That sounds like a suicide mission.
