Infinity
Chapter 2:
Dream.
When
the storm broke rain pounding down in great sheets out of a dark and
unforgiven
sky. Genesis Rhapsodos had to admit he wasn't surprised. It had
been that kind of evening. Although the man with the auburn hair had
a ticket to Midgar, four stops farther along, the line. He'd
stepped off the train and into the station. By the time it started to
rain, his feet hurt and his luggage had about pulled his arms from
their sockets. He sighed and stared back at the train, great…next
stop would be his bed. That was the only thing he was certain about
at the moment.
Genesis dug his hands deep down into the pockets
and started his walk back.
Thunder cracked, lightening lit up the dark sky, and it started to rain harder. Squinting in the dark, water pouring off his auburn hair and into his light mako coloured eyes. Genesis struggled to make out the words on the sign, he was certain it was words; there didn't seem to be much point in a sign if there weren't any words.
"Man… there's never any lightning around when it's needed…" he murmured low and kept his stare at the dark sign. He decided to get back and try to read the sign again, later… when it was daylight and still a chance of not getting lost in the woods.
Genesis slept on his back with one arm flung over his head, and a slight smile on his face. Zack watched him from distance; a few meters from the bed, like he waited for the man with the red haired hair to flew up from the bed and attack him if he disturbed his sleep. Angeal stood in the hallway, watched through the open front door. Zack's head cocked to one side and crossed his arms.
"Mr.Rhapsodos?" Zack stared at the auburn haired man; his mako eyes studied the sleeping man with the auburn hair, still from a distance, just in case. Angeal shook his head and pulled in Zack's arm.
"Let him sleep" Angeal murmured, and the younger man turned to face the older man. Then he looked back at Genesis. His head was still cocked to one side, he closed his mako enchanted eyes for a moment, and then he opened them again. Turned to face Angeal again and gave his mentor a curious stare.
"Are you certain he's sleeping?" Zack wondered and opened his mouth, but closed it again. Angeal grinned. How can he be sleeping? Gee, he dosen't even snore! But maybe that's because I know I snore, Angeal told me once because he got pissed because I snored too much one night, I guess some people can sleep silent… Zack thought and crossed his arms.
"I'm certain" Angeal
nodded and Zack grinned. Well,
if he's certain then… Zack
thought and stared at his mentor.
"You know, Zack… I've
never seen a guy eat that fast as you did, I mean, that was almost a
whole carton pf potato salad, and almost a liter
of milk, gone between one blink and the next." Angeal brought his
hands together, crushing the empty milk carton. Zack's mako
coloured eyes stared at the milk carton, and then at his mentor.
"I
don't know why you didn't puke, or choke. Or both. You know, puke
and choke. Especially considered it was potato salad and milk, for
Gaia's sake!"
Zack exchanged a glance with Angeal. His
mentor looked away, and Zack stared out the window, why was he
surprised? It wasn't like he had never eaten a lot before.
"Are you all right, Angeal?" Zack murmured and stared at the man in front of him; Angeal nodded, crossed his arms and gave Zack a sceptical look.
"Me?" Angeal's chin lifted, and his
chest went out. Zack hid a smile, although Angeal wasn't a small
man, there was no way he could be dominated by Zack.
"I'm
fine, why wouldn't I be?" his mentor added, the younger man
pouted.
"You know… you did spend a little bit too much time at the gym…" the younger man muttered and rolled his eyes. "I mean, stress isn't good for you!" he added and grinned.
"So did you." His mentor murmured, Zack rolled her mako enchanted eyes and folded his hands.
"Yes, but I'm used to be a bouncy guy with too much energy." He muttered and his mentor rolled his eyes.
Genesis
hoped he was dreaming although; given the way his life had been
lately, he figured there was a fifty-fifty chance he was
actually physically standing.
He choked a gasp as he felt someone
shaking his arm gently. His light coloured mako eyes flew open, and
Zack grinned.
Genesis sat himself up in a sitting position,
yawned and gave Zack a curious stare. The auburn man's head cocked
to one side.
The man with the black hair and mako enchanted eyes
pulled his hand back and glared nervously at the man on the couch.
"It seemed like you had a nightmare man…" Zack
murmured, Genesis shook his head gently and stared at the black
haired man.
"I should probably leave… I only came because…
Angeal wanted to see you." He added and looked into
"I'm fine…" Genesis convinced him and rubbed his light coloured mako eyes, brushed the auburn hair out of his face and stared at the dark haired man in front of him.
"Sure, you're pale as milk man…" the youngest muttered, crossed his legs and stared at the man in front of him, a small grin curved his lips. Genesis tried to figure out something else they could discuss. The man with the auburn hair grinned back and stared at Zack.
"Where's Angeal now?" Genesis murmured, the train trip had left him tired, since he was alone, he was forced to keep his eyes open, just in case, and it didn't help him that Zack was here now, no sleep or rest for him the next hours. Not as long as Angeal was working.
"He left, why?" One of Zack's dark eyebrows rose, and Genesis shook his head and grinned. That was just great… now Zack would stay with him for hours, Zack would talk and joke, while Genesis would get to bed.
"Just wondered…" he sighed and rolled his light mako coloured eyes.
