A/N: This story is going ok so far, I suppose. Could be better in my own opinion, but maybe that's because it's my story, ha-ha! Well, I'm still debating who the love interest should be. Both are incredibly hot, cool, and badass, yet…I can't make up my mind T-T. I'm kinda in a Sephiroth-ish mood, but Genesis would be much easier….OH, THIS IS HORRIBLE!

Cassie: Um….

Sephiroth: What's wrong with her?

Cassie: Deciding whether I should go with you or Genesis.

Genesis: Well, it can only be me. I am perfect, after all. I am a gift of the Goddess.

Sephiroth: Has anyone ever told you have an oversized ego?

Cassie: *Sigh*Men….Since Twilight has gone crazy over decisions, I will be kind and give yall the disclaimer: Twilight doesn't own anything, except her own copy of the final fantasy 7 game, me, and nothing else.


"You punched him?"

"Of course I did! What did you expect me to do, let him go thinking that I was too soft? Of course not! He had it coming, and you know it!"

Sephiroth let out an exasperated sigh, pinching the bridge of his nose between his thumb and forefinger. These disputes between Cassie and Genesis were beginning to get a little…out of hand, in his view. Cassie was right, Genesis did have it coming to him, provoking the brunette like that. If Genesis was as smart as he said, and everyone thought, then he would know better, but then again, this was Genesis they were talking about. "Cassie, you know that you can get suspended because of that kind of behavior." Sephiroth stated, leaning back in his chair, watching as Cassie hugged her knees to her chest. "And stuff like that spreads rather quickly around here, and before you can even stop it, it'll be in the papers."

"I know, I know! You don't have to tell me, over and over!" Cassie exclaimed, annoyed by hearing the same speech each time they talked over her beating Genesis up. "I just…"

"You just what, Cassie?"

"I don't know how to get him to stop treating me like I'm still the baby of our group. It's so annoying, and…well, annoying. Angeal has tried to beat it in his head, over and over, but he doesn't listen. If he keeps this up, then I'm going to find a sharp pointed object and-"

"You do that, and you'll have the whole Shinra army on your shoulders."

Cassie's face fell upon that statement, realizing that just keeping up with hurting the red head wouldn't do anything to help. "I guess I'll just have to ignore him. Starting now." With that said, she stood up and left, leaving Sephiroth to continue on with his ceiling stacked paper work.

Genesis walked down the hall, earning a few quiet snickers from several cadets and 2nd's as he passed by, the bag of peas still covering his black eye that Cassie had given him. Genesis glared at them from the corner of his good eye, silencing them. After walking for several more minutes, he reached the familiar door with the nameplate 'Lt. Mason' on the front. With the hand that wasn't holding the bag of frozen peas, he knocked on the door, waiting for it to open.

Cassie opened the door, a smile on her face, only to have it disappear when she saw who it was. She quickly moved to shut the door, only to have Genesis block it from closing. "Y'know, it's sort of rude to close the door on someones face." No reply. "Everyone laughed at me while I was walking down the hallway holding the ice pack up to my face." No reply. Genesis was beginning to grow annoyed. "Are you ok?" Once again, no reply. "HEY, ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME?"

"Listening, yes, replying, no. At the moment, I am considering your words to be nothing more than annoying buzzing." Cassie stated proudly, getting up and moving to her kitchen, where she had a pot of water on the stove, boiling. She opened a pack of ramen and dumped it, stirring it a bit before letting it set.

Genesis smirked at her. "You're trying to ignore me, aren't you?" No reply. "Hah! You actually think that you can succeed at that? You really are the baby still!" No reply, though he did see her shoulders tense up. "There's no way you can go a whole day ignoring me."

"Oh, really, Pea boy?" Cassie asked, a smirk crawling onto her face as she said his new nickname.

"Yeah, and don't call me pea boy. It's stupid…"

Cassie once again, did not reply. Ignoring him wasn't going as well as she had planned, so she decided to try something else. "Genesis, I heard the cadets talking about you the other day."

He quirked an eyebrow. "Really? And what were they saying about me?"

"Well, one of them said he heard you and Scarlet in the closet, getting it on. Never took you to be a screamer."

"WHAT?"

Cassie stifled the laughter she wanted to let out. Getting into his mind was easier than she thought. "Yeah, almost everyone has been talking about it. You haven't heard?" He shook his head. "I didn't even know you were into Scarlet."

"THAT'S BECAUSE I AM NOT!"

"The way those cadets put it didn't make it sound like you weren't …" Cassie said in a singsong voice.

She heard footsteps and the door slam, letting out the laughter that she had been holding in. He had actually believed her, and he had left. It actually worked. She found a way to get in his mind. The one thing Genesis could never stand were bad rumors about him, because they would ruin his publicity. She shook her head, her laughter dying down as she pulled out a bowl and scooped up some ramen in it, enjoying the peace as she ate her dinner.

Her new technique of getting rid of the obnoxious red head: Getting into his head.


A/N: Sorry for the shortness, but I hope everyone enjoyed it! LATER TATERS!
