Hello, it's me Amara Natsumi again, bringing the newest update of the story. I forgot to mention in my other chapter that, at this moment it is rated M for language, but I will be throwing in a lemon in one of the chapters coming up.

Haruka: *sighs* You really need to work on your grammar... *Looks at old copy of story*

Me: Haruka, if you shut up I will give you Genesis right now...

Haruka: *Thinks* Okay! ^_^

Genesis: W-what?!?! Come on Amara!! Don't do this to me!!! T.T

Me: *Sighs* If you do the disclaimer, I'll keep her away from you for a while longer...

Genesis: Fine, *Turns to readers* Amara Natsumi does not own anything in the story including Angeal, Sephiroth, and I. She only owns her OC, Haruka....

Me: ^_^ Good boy! Now go before I let Haruka go!

Genesis: Dammit! I knew there was a catch!! *Runs*

Me: Have fun reading ^_^ and don't forget to reveiw!! ^_^

7 years ago...

"Haruka," Angeal calls to me from the kitchen, "Come in here for a second please?"

I walk in and sit at the table facing him, "Yes big brother?"

He turns around and leans against the counter while sighing, I found out recently that my brother sighs, it's not usually a good thing.

"Haruka, I'm sixteen now, and I told you that when I turned sixteen, Genesis and I were going to leave to join SOLDIER. Now, for the past couple of weeks, we have been planning to leave next week, but it's being moved up to tonight. I'm sorry to bring this up so suddenly."

"W-what? A-Angeal! Don't joke about shit like that!" I yelled at him, while jumping up from my seat.

"Haruka Rose Hewley! Watch your mouth!" Angeal warned me, "And I wouldn't joke about something like this..." He turned back to the sink to finish the dishes.

"Why?" I lowered my head so my bangs were in my face so he wouldn't notice that I was crying, "Why are you telling me this?"

Angeal sighed again, "So you can tell Genesis how you feel about him. I don't want you to get hurt if you don't tell him and he finds someone else..."

That evening...

I sat on the hill nest to Genesis' house watching the sunset. I was so caught up in the moment, I didn't notice Genesis coming up and sitting beside me.

"What do you think of bright red?" Genesis asks.

I jumped, "Gaia Genesis! You scared the hell out of me!" I playfully smacked his arm.

He chuckled and smirked his trademark smirk, "Sorry, but seriously, what do you think of red?"

I smiled, "It's a great color. It's a great color to wear with black and-,"

"I meant for your hair," He laughed.

I blushed in embarrassment, "Oh, um... I think it's alright, why?" I asked suddenly confused.

"Because, I don't think your hair color suits you," Genesis takes a piece of my dark blonde hair and twirls it around his finger, "I think you would look really cute with red hair," He commented smirking again.

I could feel my face heat up again, but not from embarrassment this time, 'Did he just say I would look really cute with red hair?! Maybe I'll ask Mother to buy me some red hair dye...'

I cleared my throat, "Thanks, I'll uh, keep that in mind..."

"No problem."

It suddenly got very quiet. So quiet I could hear my heart beating in my ears. I'm pretty sure Genesis heard it as well.

"Genesis?" I started... 'This is it, my only chance to tell him how I feel...'

"Hmmm?" He responded, turning his body towards me to look at me.

B-DMP! B-DMP! B-DMP! 'Stupid heart! Go away for a couple of minutes!'

"I um, wanted to tell you, that um... that I like you. It's not love yet cause I'm only fourteen and my mom says I don't know what love is!" I rambled on and on until Genesis did the unexpected, he kissed me.

I felt the heat rise in my cheeks again. I'm probably red as a strawberry. Then Genesis' lips left mine and he hugged me.

"I don't know how long I'll be gone, but will you wait for me?" He asked while still hugging me.

"I'll wait till the end of time, and then some," I whispered back.

He pulled back and kissed me more passionately this time, and I was ready this time and kissed back. He then pulled away and stood.

While Genesis walked away, I heard him say his favorite line from Loveless, "Even if the morrow is barren of promises, nothing shall forestall my return..."

That night, I cried myself to sleep with my mother by my side the whole night.

Five Months Later...

I had gotten my first letter from Genesis, but wasn't expecting what was written...

Dear Haruka,

I'm sorry, but I realized recently that I don't have the same feelings for you that you have for me.

Genesis

That night, I also cried myself to sleep. I never received a letter from Genesis after that one. It was my first and my final letter from him
