hello, Everyone. I was browsing through fanfiction, when I noticed that there were no AngealxOC stories. Well there was one, but it was five chapters. This made me upset. I have always loved Angeal, so I decided to start this lovely work of something. This will focus around my OC's relationship with Angeal, and her relationship with Genesis and Sephiroth as well.
Commander Angeal Hewley sighed at his friend's complaints. "They expect us to eat this?!"
Genesis Rhapsodos dropped his fork with a loud clank and ran a hand through his auburn hair, "It's foul."
"Genesis, you call yourself a SOLDIER, yet you constantly complain," Angeal growled. He had been surly the past few days and Genesis's lack of dignity was certainly adding to it.
Genesis smirked. His flair for the dramatics was always an issue, but he would never pass up an opportunity to poke at his childhood friend, "You're too uptight, Angeal," Genesis took a drink, "You need to get laid."
Sephiroth glanced over at the two when he heard that, "What?"
Genesis's smirk widened, "You too, Seph."
"Genesis, that is enough! Have you no honor? You are a First Class SOLDIER!"
"Who doesn't have a girlfriend, either," Sephiroth remarked slyly.
Genesis's eyes flared, "Well played, Sephiroth," the word was spat as though it left a bad taste in his mouth.
"Enough," Angeal groaned.
"Hey, Angeal!" the happy voice of Zack broke the tension as he wedged himself between Angeal and Sephiroth.
"Zack, aren't you supposed to be training?" the older man asked.
Zack pouted, "Man, Angeal, I have to eat too!"
Genesis chuckled, "Won't even let your puppy eat, Angeal? You are uptight."
Zack's face perked up, "Uptight? What does he mean, Angeal what's he talking about?"
Genesis smirked again, "Well, Zack, I think that our dear old Angeal needs a girlfriend, someone to soften him up."
Zack grinned. He had secretly wanted Angeal to get a girlfriend for months now, but Angeal had never even shown the slightest interest in it. Zack had brought the notion up a few times, but his mentor had always dismissed it. "That's great, Angeal! Who are you going to pick?" Zack clapped Angeal on the back.
Angeal stifled a low growl at the puppy, "I haven't even agreed to anything. And it's not a game, pup. A decision like this is important."
Genesis rolled his eyes dramatically, "Come on, Angeal, it's not that big of a deal. Especially if it's only for a one night stand." He smiled suggestively.
"You're repulsive," Angeal sighed.
"Angeal, do you even know any women?"
"I have no time for any of that, Zack."
"What about the secretary?"
Genesis laughed, "Puny little Lina? She'd fall apart if you put an arm around her."
Sephiroth hummed quietly, "Genesis, none of us know any women."
"I do."
"How many of them are honorable?"
Genesis frowned and his fingers moved like he was counting, "Two."
"Out of?" Sephiroth prodded.
Zack suddenly grinned, "Angeal, what about that girl who works with Scarlet?"
"Zack, I have no time for any of this."
Genesis smirked, he had a master plan. "Angeal," he purred, "I challenge you. I give you six weeks to find a girlfriend and go out with her. If you don't, you do all of my paper work for a month."
"No."
"Come on, Angeal!" Zack urged, "It'd be great for you. Having someone waiting for you, with food, listening to your lectures, stuff like that!"
"He's not marrying her, Zack," Sephiroth chided.
"And I wouldn't use her." Angeal added. The mere thought of simply relying on a woman for those things and not giving anything in return appalled the man.
Genesis smirked, "So you agree then? My plan is perfect, I knew it would be." He leaned back into the open air, smugness radiated from him as though it came out of his very pores.
"I will not agree to this."
"Angeal, come on," Genesis gave into whining, "You are my best friend. And as my best friend, I have a duty to see to it that you are happy. And I wouldn't be fulfilling that duty if you insist on being this miserable and uptight." He slammed a fist on the table for added effect.
Zack chuckled at this and received a dark look from Angeal for it.
"Genesis, I'm sure you have this 'duty', but I don't need a girlfriend." Angeal rose from the table walked towards the door.
Genesis was acting more and more like his was living as a hero in his own masterpiece every day. First the stunt he pulled during training that morning, and then this entire proposition. He was going to seriously hurt someone soon.
Angeal pushed open the heavy double doors. At the same time the door slammed shut, he ran into someone. He looked down to see a petite young woman looking up at him from her place on the floor. "Are you all right?" he searched her for injuries and offered her his hand.
She observed him for a moment before taking his hand. Her hand was tiny, with long elegant fingers and fit well into his gloved one. He noticed the red nail polish she wore. "I'm fine," she said quietly, and offered him a smile.
He nodded, "I was distracted, forgive me. You're not hurt are you?"
Surprise flickered through her eyes when she saw the worry in his, "No, no. I'm perfectly fine, thank you."
He nodded, "Good." Angeal saw two folders splayed on the floor and quickly bent to retrieve them. "Here you are. Forgive me, miss, but I've never seen you on this floor before."
"Oh," she ran a hand through her brown hair before answering him, "I was looking for General Sephiroth, I have a report for him," she indicated the folders she was holding.
"He's in the cafeteria; would you like me to introduce you?"
She smiled again, and this time it reached her blue eyes, "No, I can find him, thank you though." She took a small sidestep towards the doors.
Angeal pushed open the door to allow her through. "Of course, miss." And she disappeared through the heavy metal doors to find the Silver General.
Sephiroth was fairly easy to find. Elizabeth chose the most complicated way to get to him, rehearsing what she was going to say to him. Elizabeth's job as a lab technician in the Shinra hospital meant she didn't talk to many people, and her natural introversion made her slightly nervous. But it was much better than it had been.
"General Sephiroth?"
The ominous man turned to her. His green catlike eyes scrutinized her appearance in a way that reminded her of the samples she observed on a daily basis. She straightened up a bit, "I have the labs for your two SOLDIERS in the hospital," she handed him the two folders.
He took the files wordlessly and surveyed them. Elizabeth used this time to observe the other people at the table. She recognized The Red Leather Commander. He gave her a smirking smile and she offered him a quiet one in return. She flitted her gaze to the third person at the table. The young man was clearly younger than her, and had a radiating energy that was almost infectious. He grinned at her, but Sephiroth stole her attention before she could respond.
"Thank you. When are they due to be released?" he asked coolly.
Elizabeth frowned slightly. She had heard that the man was scary, but she never expected him to be this uncaring about his men. "I don't know, the doctors would have an idea. Do you want me to ask them?"
"No."
Elizabeth was slightly disappointed because she enjoyed the walk up here, and would've liked to do it again if she could. Even the solitude of her labs could get a little boring. "All right, thank you, General."
Elizabeth shoved open the heavy doors and began her descendent back to the hospital floor.
She had heard all the gossip about the three First Class SOLDIERS. And after her very informal introduction (could she even call it that?) she could see what they meant. Sephiroth was intimidating, but he seemed rather quiet. Genesis Rhapsodos had seemed the most easygoing of all of them, judging only by how he interacted with her. She remembered the smile and it had made her feel noticed, yet like a piece of meat in a lab coat at the same time. The third man was not Angeal Hewley, but someone else, a Second Class if she had gotten the uniform correctly. Weren't they inseparable? Where had Angeal been?
Elizabeth entered her lab and retrieved new samples from the window that separated the nurses' station and the lab. She almost dropped the sample when she realized it; Angeal had been the man she had run into. Not only had she ran into someone, but that someone was one of the most powerful men in all of Gaia.
"Good job, Elizabeth. Very nice," she scoffed and began the test.
Oh Elizabeth. Well, there you have it. I really want to write this, but I can't do that if I don't know if people like it. So please review, as they make me the most happy.
Happy reading and Writing,
SOLDIERSAngel87
