"I know." Any modesty that Rude might have shown with anyone else didn't typically apply when it was just him and Reno. A rare smirk tugged at the corners of his mouth as he continued with the impromptu massage, eventually abandoning the foot in question so that he could focus in on its counterpart.

"Don't think I'll forget either," he added, if only to remind Reno that this was a mutual arrangement. The next time Rude decked someone across the jaw, a hand massage would be nice. It helped that they took turns, because there was probably no way either of them would benefit from the deal otherwise.
