ATE: Hey everyone. I'm sorry I didn't mention this in the last chap, but you already know that I started a new story for you guys. Good news is that I finally got my hands on Final Fantasy VII for the PS1. Bad news it that I discovered the hard way that you need a PS1 memory card in order to save it.

Just so you know I've never played Crisis Core, but I'm planing on getting a PSP and said game soon.

But one thing I'm worried about is getting Genesis' character right. If there is tell me in a reivew and that'll help me out a lot.

Declaimer: I own nothing that has to do with FF 7 or Square Enix.


Chapter 2

I woke up the next morning and got dressed in cargo pants and shirt, along with the other necessary requirements of the morning.

As I left the room, I thought that Genesis was still asleep since it was really quiet at the moment. I walked quietly to the kitchen, but to my surprise, I found Genesis sitting on the couch reading LOVELESS again. He must really love that book.

"Good morning, Genesis." I greeted.

He simply nodded. "Morning…uh…"

It was then I realized that I forgot to give him my name yesterday. How stupid of me!

"It's Michelle Jackson." I told him.

"Michelle…" He said, as if trying to hear what it sounded like when he said it. It sent a chill down my spine as he said it.

"Well, anyways. I'll go make breakfast, and afterwards I'll be going out."

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to buy you some clothes." I said as I started to cook the usual breakfast of eggs, bacon, and toast.

"Why can't I come?"

"Because if people were to see you the way you're dress now, they would think you're suspicious, especially since it's not the time for cosplaying yet." I explained, not taking my eyes off the food I was cooking. "It'd be like wearing your Halloween costume in public when it isn't even Halloween yet."

I heard Genesis give off a chuckle at what I was getting at.

"Speaking about Halloween, do you celebrate it back on Gaia?" I asked.

"We do. You have no idea what it was like in the Shinra building, though." He replied.

"What happened?"

"Every year Zack would always wear a costume and run around the building knocking on random people's doors and demanding candy. I can remember one of his costumes where he dressed up like a super hero and making 'whooshing' sounds as he ran down the hallways. And I'm telling you that this was not when he was a little kid."

"You mean that this was the most recent one you saw at the time?" I asked, trying hard to not laugh.

"Yes."

It was then that I started to laugh. I could actually imagine that happening.


After breakfast I went out to the mall to shop for clothes for Genesis via my car. I had told him not to answer the phone, door, or go on the roof. I told him that he could anything but those three restricted actions.

As I shopped for some clothes, I realized that I didn't know his size. I decided that I could remember his figure and go from there. If they didn't fit, I could always come back too.

But it was when I got to the most dreaded part of all…underwear and boxers! I started blushing like mad when I thought of it.

"Just pick a pack and some boxers and get on with your life!" I thought.

And that was what I did, my face heating up as I walked with the pack in my hands.

I went to the cash register and bought the stuff. In the end it turned out that I got 10 articles of clothing (including PJs) for Genesis and was carrying the bags in my hands as I left the mall.

I got back to my car and drove back to my apartment. When I got there I got out with the bags and the keys, unlocked the door, and went inside to find Genesis reading again.

"I'm back." I said.

I walked towards Genesis as he got up after closing his book, looking straight at me.

"These are for you." I handed him the bags of clothing.

He simply nodded and walked to his room as I went and sat on the couch. A few minutes later, Genesis came out wearing a pair of black jeans and a red shirt. As I looked at him, I noticed that the clothes seemed to fit.

"How are they?" I asked.

"They fit perfectly." He said. I guess I actually got the right size after all.

"That's good. I was worried that I got the wrong size. You have now idea how long it took me to debate the size."

I saw Genesis smirk at what I said. He came and sat down on the couch again. He picked up LOVELESS again and started to read it. I couldn't help being curious about the book so I asked him.

"What exactly is LOVELESS about?" I asked

"It talks about the Gift of the Goddess." He said as he looked up from his book to look at me.

"So what I heard you reading yesterday was from LOVELESS?"

Genesis nodded.

"Can I hear some of it?

Genesis turned to his book and started to read out loud.

"There is no hate, only joy. For you are beloved by the goddess. Hero of the dawn, Healer of worlds. Dreams of the morrow hath the shattered soul. Pride is lost. Wings stripped away, the end is nigh." He looked up from the book and looked at me.

I was amazed at what I heard. I've never heard anything like this until now. I can see why Genesis likes LOVELESS so much.

"It's really pretty."

That whole day I listened as Genesis read LOVELESS to me.
