Unexpected
An ivory hand jolted out from under the black satiny covers, almost obliterating the poor alarm clock. "Ugh..."Pulling back the covers unveiled one of Gaia's true angels in all of her sleepy disheveled glory. Slowly she glided her feet onto the floor and began walking to the kitchen to turn on the coffee pot, letting the fresh aroma waft in her nostrils for a moment for continuing her journey to the bathroom. Slinking out of her nightgown she took a glance in the mirror gazing at her appearance and gave a gentle shake of her head in disapproval before turning the knobs of the shower on. Waiting patiently she watched the steam start floating out above the shower curtain and slid in letting the hot water soothe her tired aching muscles.
As she enjoyed her shower another individual rose from the bed, clad in black silk pajama pants, he trudged over to the coffee pot where the delightful smell was being emitted from and poured two cups. One black, the other three creams and no sugar. Lifting the hot beverage to perfect bow shaped lips; he savored the smell once more before letting it slide down his throat. Taking a moment to survey the apartment, finding nothing of interest, he leaned against the counter and resumed drinking his coffee. He could almost feel his ears perking up as he heard the water pipes scream in protest as they were being turned off. He stood silent for a few moments before he could hear quiet footfalls heading his way.
"Goddess Seph!" he acknowledged the greeting with a quirk of his silver brow. "I thought you'd still be in bed." "A hard thing to accomplish with that blasted thing." He threw a thumb over his shoulder gesturing the alarm clock, and heard a soft giggle. Letting his eyes take in the sight before him, he saw a raven haired beauty with wine colored eyes, the skin of a porcelain doll all wrapped up in a fluffy white towel complete with those long legs that-"See something you like?" She haughtily teased sauntering over to grab the coffee that he had prepared for her. Sitting his cup down he closed the space between them letting his arms encircle her, his hair cascading around them. "Perhaps I didn't prove my adoration last night..?" Whispered words seeped into her ear, goose bumps tingling at the sun. Vivid images of last night events replaying in her mind had Tifa putting the coffee away. Smirking, she let her fingers tuck inside the waistband of his pants. "Maybe a slight reminder is in order?" He said nothing but pressed her against the counter and hovered his lips merely a few inches away from hers." We are a few minutes ahead of schedule.." She continued to talk, looking up into those emerald eyes that she loved. Placing a gentle kiss on his lips, the passion ignited throughout their bodies instantly. "I could think of no better way to start the morning." His rich masculine voice purred as he pulled one of her legs up to his waist locking lips once more.
"Good Morrow!"
A small gust of air came from the door as it was opened revealing the crimson weapon himself. "Genesis." Growled Sephiroth, stopping his advances and to glare at his comrade. "Oh," a smirk graced his aristocratic features. "A good morrow indeed, eh general?" Tifa withheld a giggle to slip over to grab her WRO uniform that was hanging up and land a quick kiss on Genesis' cheek. "Excuse me." She sparred one last look at sephiroth who looked like he could snap genesis' neck in half at any moment for his intrusion. Shaking her head she left the battle of testosterone in the kitchen while she closed the bedroom door behind her.
A beautiful smile graced her angelic face as she sat on the bed grabbing a picture frame. The picture was of her and Sephiroth at the superior's appreciation ball. She was in a beautiful ruby gown and he was in his formal uniform. Oh, how he hated it but she thought he looked absolutely stunning placing it back, she slipped on her pants. She was 26 now, 6 years ago if you would have told her she would fall head over heels in love with the same face that burned down her hometown and murdered her father-she simply would have laughed in your face. How could she have known that the Goddess had a sense of humor and would bring back all of the world's fallen heroes to redeem themselves. She hurriedly assembled the rest of her uniform. Black nylon shirt with her name and position, black leather pants and those lovely black knee high boots that made her feet ache by the end of the day. She brushed her hair quickly and retreated back to the kitchen.
A truly amusing sight as Sephiroth stood with his arms folded over his chest scowling. Genesis simply looking cheery as he now was drinking Tifa's coffee. She walked over to silver haired man and poked his nose gently. "You mister, need to go get ready." She stood on tiptoe whispering, "we'll finish our previous engagements tonight." With a slight nod of his head and his face softening he made his way to take a shower, a cold one no doubt. She then sat across from Genesis' eyeballing the cup. "Are you gonna save me any of that?" He slid the mug across the table revealing a swallow sized portion. She rolled her eyes, "thanks."
"Well Miss Lockhart, if you don't just make a WRO uniform look so delightful!"
She swatted his arm, "Flattery will get you nowhere, and what pray tell has you parading into my quarters at this early of an hour?" Beautiful mako eyes locked onto hers. "Why, how could I stay away from such a beauty as yours?" she let out an elegant snort. "You better hush before our hot headed general hears you. He threw his head back, cinnamon tresses bouncing with laughter.
"Indeed. Well I happened to receive a call from Zackary, rather intoxicated mind you, and I simply couldn't find my slumber again, so here I am seeing what my favorite lovebirds are up to."
"Just how did you get in?" Sephiroth arose from the hallway in his attire towel drying his hair. The sight was simply breathtaking and Tifa let out a small gasp. The way his exposed chest was still dewy from the water, the smell of his cologne and the way he gracefully glided across the carpet had Tifa in awe. "Ah Seph, didn't hear you return my friend. You seem to forget that our ID cards will swipe for each others quarters." He replied innocently as he stood. "I'll have to remedy that situation."
"Oh come now, I apologize for my intrusion, next time" a cold mako gaze was shot his way, warning him to choose his next words wisely. "Er-well next time I wont arrive without prior notice, you have my word. Now, I believe we all have engagements this morning so until next time my friends." With that Genesis let himself out quietly his red leather duster flowing behind him. "Ugh." Tifa chuckled and got up to buckle his straps on his chest. "You know he means well." She let her fingers caress on his chest than need be and the silver haired general gave a small smirk. "But he presents himself more of a nuisance than 'meaning well' tenshi." A small blush crept up on her cheeks at the use at the term of endearment. "All of you soldiers have good hearts," she began, "and Genesis is trying to make up for lost time. Oh and I came across some interesting information." Sephiroth began turning off the lights and heading for the door, Tifa instep behind him.
"Hmm?"
"Apparently called Genesis and was quite drunk,"
Sephiroth shook his head closing the door behind them. "He's supposed to be training new recruits today." He pinched the bridge of his nose. "This is going to be a very long day."
Tifa nodded, "I have a meeting with Reeve first thing, if I can get out for lunch I'll give you a call." With that Sephiroth lowered his head placing a kiss on her lips.
"Aww look at Romeo and Juliet, yo!"
"A very long day" Sephiroth and reiterated. Tifa laughed and began walking down the hall with him. "I said Soldiers had a good heart, but Reno…well he's just an ass."
