A/N: Hello all! I am back for yet another Tales of Symphonia one-shot! *glares at those who groan* As I was saying…This one is a kind of crack!fic. Hopefully you all like it!

Thanks to ShadowVDP for reviewing on the second chapter! I really adore your reviews! And I'll probably take your idea into account but I probably won't be actually posting it until a couple of my other fics have been updated. I'm really sorry, but I have so many other fics I need to complete that it doesn't really make any sense for to start yet another one! But I will have it up! Just not right away!

Title: Awkward Moments and Misunderstandings

Summary: The pairing is Genis and Presea, which is kind of believable, but not really since it's painfully obvious that she is supposed to be much older than him.

So, I'm writing in Presea's POV while Genis is trying to ask her out on a date. Poor Genis…

Disclaimer: AGAIN! I do not own ToS. If I did I would tie Zelos to my bed and make him my slave! XD While dodging all those fan girls of his…..

Presea was in a very awkward situation. She didn't exactly remember how she got into such a predicament, but it was clear she had to be very careful on how to get out of it.

"So, uhhh, what do you think, Presea?" Genis asked her, his voice shaky from embarrassment.

He had just asked her to go on a date with him. He used that word; 'date' and Presea had to work to keep from looking shocked.

She was thinking about how she could let him down easily, so as to not hurt his feelings. But she couldn't really think of a nice way to say it. How do you tell someone you're too old for them when you look just about their age? It's not easy, so she decided to let him down without saying the obvious, at least to her.

"Genis…I appreciate the thought, but…we have to focus on the regeneration of the world. I do not think it would be appropriate at this time." She said, choosing her words carefully, making it a point that it wasn't him, even though she hoped he wouldn't try to ask her again after they succeed in saving the world.

His ears and cheeks went pink and she noticed that his knees started shaking.

"But…it wouldn't get in the way…" he said pathetically.

She sighed. This wasn't going to be easy.

"I do not think it would be a good idea right now." She said insistently.

Right now she was cursing Kate for making her this way. If she had aged properly then she wouldn't have this happening right now. If she looked twenty-eight instead of a child, Genis wouldn't be under the impression that they could possibly 'date'.

"But…" Genis said, looking at the floor sheepishly.

"Hey! Presea!" Someone yelled from behind them.

Genis' head snapped up and he glared at Zelos approaching them and huffed a bit.

"Yes, Zelos?" Presea asked politely.

"Well, I was just wondering if you could…" and he trailed off, looking from Presea to Genis glaring.

Zelos' open mouth transformed into the biggest grin Presea has ever seen possess his lips. This couldn't be good.

"Oohhhh! My pretty little Presea is finally spreading her womanly wings." Zelos praised loudly.

Presea had to refrain from saying something rude to him. "I don't know what you are talking about, Zelos." She said, trying to lead him believe she's oblivious to his innuendo.

"Right." He said sarcastically, as he started backing away, "I'll leave you two love-sick kids alone, then."

She closed her eyes. Another person referring to her as a 'kid'. It was infuriating and frustrating to her, but she thought it best to keep the information of her true age from the others.

"HEY, EVERYBODY!" she heard Zelos yelling to the others, "PRESEA AND GENIS ARE GETTING IT ON!"

"Oh, no…" Genis groaned.

"WHAT?!" Presea heard Professor Sage screech at the top of her lungs.

"GENIS SAGE! YOU GET OUT HERE NOW!!!" She yelled.

Genis looked like he could possibly die from embarrassment.

She put a hand on his shoulder comfortingly. "Come on, Genis. We'll just explain, the Professor will understand."

Genis shook his head weakly at her. "No she won't. Her 'talk' with me was one sentence, 'Don't do it.'"

"She's your older sister. She's going to be protective of you." She insisted, glad to get the 'date' out of the way.

"GENIS! NOW!"

"I think she's coming!" Genis said, panicking slightly.

Presea froze when she saw Raine come stampeding out from camp and towards them, with the rest of the group following, Zelos sniggering in the back.

"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU, GENIS!" She yelled at him, Presea only able to watch in shock, sure, Raine had overreacted about some things but never anything to this extent.

"We weren't doing anything!" Genis protested.

"He is right, Raine. Zelos is hardly someone to take the truth from." Presea insisted along with Genis.

"Hey!" Protested the red-head.

Raine seemed to deflate from Presea speaking. "You're right. I'm sorry…" and she turned on Zelos, "and you…"

"Uh-oh." Zelos said as he ran, figurative tail in-between his legs.

Presea didn't really see what happened next but one minute Zelos was running and the next he face planted into the soil beneath him. She looked at who could have tripped him, knowing Zelos was light on his feet, and saw Regal looking suspiciously away from all of them.

"Owww." Zelos whined.

Raine marched over, and stopped as she towered over the Chosen, who was trembling slightly as he looked up at her, dirt caked his face and pink outfit.

"What do you have to say for yourself?" Raine asked menacingly.

"I'm sorry?"

Raine nodded, "Anything else?"

"Like what?" He asked stupidly.

Raine sighed and bent over and grabbed his ear, and tugged him back to camp.

"Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!" Zelos complained the entire way, but eventually they faded.

"I can't believe him! Ugh! He's such a pervert!" Sheena cried as she turned to follow them with Colette and Lloyd following, both shaking their heads and muttering things along the same lines as Sheena.

"The Chosen needs to think about his sense in humor. With which I will gladly help him." Regal said before leaving with the others.

And so Presea and Genis were left alone again. Not exactly what Presea wanted but maybe the little dispute would prevent Genis from asking again.

"Sooo, uhh, when the two worlds become one, do you, uh, wanna go to Flanoir with me?" Genis asked.

Then again, maybe not.

"I…don't think so, Genis." Presea said cautiously.

"Is it because I'm a half-elf?" Genis asked, sadness drenched his voice.

"No. It's just…I don't really want to date." She said truthfully.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes." She said as she watched him start to walk away with his head hanging slightly in defeat.

"But, if you would like to go as friends, I wouldn't object." She offered.

She probably should've kept quiet but she didn't like making him feel sad, so the sentence spewed out before she could stop herself.

He turned back around and his face lit up.

"Sure! That'd be great!"

"Good."

They started walking back together and the approached the group who seemed to be back to normal except Zelos was sitting in a fetal position, bruises covering his body, no doubt from Raine.

Presea couldn't help but laugh when Genis walked over and punched Zelos on the head while saying, "Pervert." And walked back to finish cooking the miso stew he had prepared before asking her to walk with him.

Hopefully, now, they could talk without things being awkward. Presea couldn't help but think that if it wasn't for the age difference would she have agreed. She thought about that the entire night, never quite coming to a conclusion.

A/N: Alrighty! Another one down! Hopefully, this one is okay! I wasn't exactly what I thought it would be, but hopefully, it isn't a terrible one-shot. I really can't seem to stop putting Zelos out as the comic relief. Kind of like how he is in the game, but to my liking. Well, without further ado, review! *gasp* I made a rhyme! Hooray!
