"How do you not like carrots?" Zack demanded, staring at Genesis.

Genesis sat at the table in the kitchen, studying his nails as he waited for Zack to finish cooking their dinner. Everyone else was busy, Reno working for Rufus, Tseng doing the same, and Cloud sparring with Vincent and Sephiroth two hours away. There was a particular meadow that Vincent claimed was perfect due to the high rate of fiends that lived there. So that left him and Zack alone.

"They just taste weird," Genesis said finally, looking up at him, a subtle pout on his lips.

Zack rolled his eyes and turned back to the cutting bored where he was slicing carrots for a soup he was making. "Fine, I'll be sure to take all the carrots out of yours. Gaia, you're picky."

"Thank you housewife," Genesis said, smirking when Zack glared at him over his shoulder.

"How does Sephiroth stand you?" he muttered. "Let alone Vincent."

Genesis frowned. "I'm offended. I can be tolerable when I chose to be."

Zack set the knife down and turned back to face him, leaning back against the counter, a skeptical look in his eyes. "You're a total drama queen Genesis. Everything you've ever done was over dramatized."

"So? What's wrong with that, makes life interesting," Genesis told him.

"You're impossible," Zack grumbled.

"You scarcely know me," Genesis said, meeting his eyes. "Didn't Angeal teach you not to judge people so quickly?"

Zack sighed and went back to his cooking. "Don't talk about Angeal."

"He was my friend too," Genesis hissed, growing angry. "And he was my lover before yours!"

"What so now you're jealous?" Zack scoffed, anger sparking as well.

"You don't know anything," Genesis said softly, voice dangerous.

"Then enlighten me," Zack countered, leaving the counter completely and moving to stand before Genesis, far enough away so that the other could stand up.

"You don't deserve to," Genesis said, leaning closer so their noses almost touched. "You don't deserve to know me, to know Angeal. You're just a mutt."

Zack stared at him, the anger slowly dying. "You are right, of course. You knew Angeal much better than I ever could've hoped to."

"I'll be in the other room."

(INSERT BREAK HERE)

Zack sat down to eat, alone, mind still mulling over everything Genesis had said. He hated the man sometimes but…he didn't really know what to think of him either.

"I'm sorry."

Zack looked up in surprise, seeing Genesis lurking in the door way. "For what?"

"For saying things before I think, like always," Genesis mumbled, refusing to look at him.

"It's fine. Really. Are you hungry?" Zack asked, standing up.

"Yeah…"

Genesis moved into the room and sat down across from Zack's bowl, staring down at the table as Zack went and got him a bowl of the soup, carefully removing the carrots before setting it down in front of the other man. Genesis swallowed thickly before suddenly standing and embracing Zack before he could move away. Shocked, Zack let it happen, not sure where the action was coming from.

"You deserved Angeal much more than I ever did. You're kind and levelheaded. I'm not. I'm a spoiled brat," Genesis said quietly. "I'm sorry."

Zack smiled, even though the man couldn't see it. "It's okay, Genesis. I promise. Please just…don't beat yourself up too much over Angeal. Or me."

"You are much kinder than anyone else, Zackary Fair."
