WITH THE DEAD
Chapter 2
Tactics was one of the 2nd Class prodigy's few classes with other young SOLDIERs, and one he didn't particularly like. It had none of the grandeur of Magic and none of the physicality of Strength Training, though Zack was good at it as he was at everything, having a good head for strategy and excellent instincts for planning an attack.
It was also a chance to sit next to Kunsel and be the kids they were, nudging each other and passing notes when Instructor Decker wasn't looking. As Angeal's student, Zack didn't spend much time around his own age group, much more around 1st Classes. That was fine with Zack, though he knew Angeal worried about it, and scheduled time regularly for the boy to see his friends.
Today they were going over an uprising in Daora, which was boring for Zack as he'd heard the story already from Angeal, who had led the force sent to quash the rebellion. Kunsel placed his phone on the desk they shared and slid it over, and Zack saw it was displaying a fairly cute young man with curly blue hair and dimples.
"Huh?" he whispered.
"Darryn. What do you think?"
"He's okay." Zack swallowed nervously. "Angeal found out."
"Seriously? What did he do?"
"He kind of sucked me off."
Kunsel kicked him. "Jerk. For a second, I actually believed you."
"No, r- "
"Fair?" the instructor called.
Thinking he'd been busted for talking, Zack put on his best kicked-puppy face as he turned to the front of the classroom, then started. There, next to the teacher's desk stood Genesis, stunning as always in scarlet velvet, a rare sight among the lower classes. He was looking at Zack with a neutral expression, none of the usual affection he gave to so few people, and despite what Angeal had said, Zack was nervous.
"Fair, the commander wants to see you. The lesson is nearly over, Commander, so don't trouble yourself about bringing him back."
"Thank you," the melodious voice said. "Come with me, Zack."
The boy's knees felt like jelly as he grabbed his bookbag and followed. Genesis led him a long way, to a room in the unoccupied materia fusion lab, and when he turned around, he finally smiled.
"Don't look so scared, cub. Didn't Angeal tell you I'm not angry?"
Cub? That's new. "Y-Yeah, but I figured...I mean...I'm not trying to take him from you or anything - "
"Except for the part where you totally are?" Genesis's eyes twinkled bemusedly.
"No! I mean...I know he's yours, and if I were you I'd be pissed..."
"That depends entirely on you, cub."
"On me? What does?"
"How I feel. What I will do." Genesis smiled enigmatically. "What exactly do you want, Zack?"
"I...um..."
Genesis was coming closer, and his scent of exotic oils was intoxicating. Looking into his beautiful face, smelling him, Zack instantly stiffened into a full erection. He silently cursed himself. Bad enough he was what Kunsel called a 'homo-wrecker,' but now he was perving on both of them?
"Is it that hard a question, darling?"
Genesis backed him into a corner, and placed his hands on either side of Zack's head and his body against the boy's. He smiled to feel the hardness, rubbed himself against it, and looked with fascination into wide eyes like pale rain puddles.
"I don't know...what you..."
"You make me feel nostalgic, you know." Genesis ran his palm over the teenager's cheek. "I used to be the same stammering innocent you are now, such a long time ago. I was young and in love for the first time, facing an eternity with the perfect specimen we call Angeal. I was hurt badly, and it was never the same again."
"Hurt?" Zack repeated sadly, wondering what he meant.
"Mmm. Those who face that come to either taint innocence themselves, or to prize it. I am one of the latter. But it's not just your pretty naiveté that has me spellbound. You are intensely empathetic. A single hint of my pain, and look. Your eyes are overflowing."
Angry at himself, Zack swiped roughly at his tears. "I..."
"I'm worried for you. Can you stand to have your feelings magnified, and live that way always?"
Now Zack was really confused. "I don't understand."
"I know, cub. Maybe I'll get to show you." Genesis tossed his hair back. "But I need to know first. Is it only Angeal you want?"
In a moment of sudden, blinding clarity, Zack realized he wasn't. His pounding teenager heart was wide enough to include two people, and one of them was standing before him, lovely as an autumn sunrise and looking at him with a profound tenderness. Zack's mouth fell open, and Genesis seemed to heave a sigh of relief.
"Figured it out, have you? Oh, cub. I've made you cry again."
"Not...crying."
Genesis slipped off his black gloves and wiped Zack's wet cheeks with his soft artist's hands. "Devastating, isn't it? Realizing you like someone so suddenly."
"More than like." How can I not tell? How can I be falling for someone, and only find out this suddenly?
Dealing with his love for Angeal was weighty enough, but this was crushing. Happy, wondrous, it felt so good to be touched by Genesis, but it was so much to take. Genesis made a hushing sound and drew the boy into his arms, surrounding him in a cool body's perfumed embrace.
"It's all right, baby cub. Angeal may not like me telling you this yet, but I love you too. I think it started the day we met, when you spilled mint Jello-o on me and I found I didn't mind. It wasn't like with Angeal, it was slower, but still, a revelation."
Zack pressed his face into Genesis's neck, feeling safe, feeling home, feeling what only Angeal had ever brought out in him. He felt Genesis slowly licking his neck, and then he was sniffing deeply, like Angeal had. They stayed like this a few moments, and when Genesis drew back, his eyes were blood-colored.
"Sorry, cub, but I need something from you now."
"Anything."
A sad smile. "Don't say that so lightly, dear. You don't really know me."
Zack remembered Angeal saying the same odd thing, but had no time to analyze. Genesis dropped to his knees and unzipped Zack in one fluid motion, and the boy quickly found out what a talented mouth the 1st had. He wasn't as patient as Angeal and sucked hard and fast, pushing the boy forward into his face as though he was hungry for what Zack had to offer. He drank deeply when it came, and licked up the excess.
He chuckled kindly when he rose, and steadied Zack until the boy's dizziness passed. The red in his eyes faded to a faint tinge around the pupils. Rather than feeling scared, Zack was almost hypnotized. He impulsively threw his arms around Genesis's torso and hugged him, hoping to not be pushed away.
He wasn't. The 1st held him tightly and petted his hair, making a soft sound of contentment.
"Baby cub, must you make it so hard for me to hold back?"
"Hold back?"
Genesis was smelling him again, taking deep inhales of his neck. He tilted Zack's head to get at as much of his skin as possible, and his hold got tighter. Too tight.
"Genesis, you're..."
He let go, and seemed to find it hard to do so. He closed his eyes for a moment, and when he opened them, they were a clear cornflower blue. Genesis gave him a tight smile.
"Go on, cub. I need to be elsewhere right now, but I'll see you soon." He placed a kiss on Zack's wrist, then was gone so fast that he seemed to have disappeared.
Overwhelmed as he was, Zack grinned. Genesis isn't mad. He likes me. He loves me. And I love him. And Angeal...so what's going to happen? Zack blushed at the images his hormonal teenager's mind came up with.

"To what do I owe the pleasure of your visit, Zack?"
Lazard's voice was always kind; his words were always genuine. Zack wiggled in his seat, trying to be casual, but his body language betrayed anxiety.
"I just had some questions. Just out of curiosity."
"I'll do my best to help."
"It's about Angeal and Genesis. It just occurred to me that they're my friends, but I don't know anything about them. You've been with ShinRa longer than I have, and have access to their files, so I thought..."
Lazard chuckled, resting his chin on his fingers. "I was new to the company when Angeal and Genesis started with SOLDIER, but I was here, yes. However, even if I could show you their files, that would not be much help to you. Both of them declined to provide much information about themselves, and were allowed to do so because they would so obviously be good candidates for SOLDIER's starting group."
"What about the first photos of them taken for their files?"
"I suppose I could show you those. One moment." Lazard typed for a few seconds, then turned his screen around. "There you are."
It was as Zack had known it would be. The decade-old photos could have been taken yesterday.
"Angeal's supposed to be thirty-one and Genesis thirty-two. Neither of them look their ages, and they haven't aged at all."
The executive director shrugged. "Good genes, a special mako blend. You won't look your age either when you get older, Zack."
"Can you tell me anything about what's in their files?"
"Let me see. No location of birth, no next of kin, blood tests refused, physical examinations show otherwise perfect health. Hmm. Not much here. Sorry, Zack, I can't really tell you anything personal about the commanders."
"ShinRa was okay with knowing so little about them?"
"Well, you've seen their abilities, Zack. Wouldn't you?"
"I guess so. Director, have you ever thought Genesis and Angeal are a bit...odd?"
"Hmm, how so?"
I can't really tell him they keep sniffing me. "You know, being so secretive, no one ever seeing them eat, rumors about Genesis being able to fly, all that."
"1sts can cover remarkable distances when jumping. Genesis has told me he and Angeal like to eat together in private."
That does make sense. "Sir, does mako ever make a person smell different?"
"Does it change a person's scent? Not that I've ever heard. May I ask why?"
"Um, just something I heard. Could you look something up for me in the database, sir?"
"Of course."
"I need to know if there's a town than starts with B-A-N."
"Let me see." Lazard clacked at his keyboard. "Just one, Banora. Are you doing a history project?"
"Why would you say that?" Zack asked, perplexed.
"Because Banora was abandoned over a hundred years ago."

Zack found he couldn't concentrate on his homework that night. Normally it would be easy to lay out an idea of what he would have done if in charge of quashing the Daoran uprising, but tonight his mind was full of Angeal and Genesis. The two were currently out together, and Zack found himself uncomfortably warm, thinking of what they might be doing together.
What does it mean that they both like me? Does that mean I'm some kind of side project for them? I get to be with both of them, but they're still a couple alone? I don't like that. I should be grateful, but...
Zack had heard that, in Daora coincidentally, threesomes were common, not as much anymore but certainly historically. Did Angeal and Genesis have something like that in mind? How would I explain that to my parents? But it would be worth it...imagine, being with them both...
His pants were bulging in an alarmingly short flash of time. Zack dropped his notebook on the living room floor and stumbled to his bedroom, only half closing the door before falling to his knees and thrusting his hand into his pants. He made himself go slowly, because the intensity of this feeling scared him. Just before he came, two hands cupped him outside his sweatpants and jerked him to completion. He was turned over urgently, pants ripped down, and surreally, Angeal and Genesis were licking him clean.
Zack tried to speak, but could only get out a questioning groan. Genesis stroked his leg and softly said, "Baby cub, I want to pleasure you a bit. Can I touch?"
"I don't think I can...go again."
"Let's see."
With Angeal soothingly rubbing his hands over Zack's sides, Genesis wet a long finger in his mouth and gently pushed it into Zack. Having done this to himself before, the boy knew what he was aiming for, and relaxed to make the discomfort minimal. Genesis found it quickly, and rhythmically prodded it, watching eagerly as the teenager hardened again.
Genesis sucked him off, not wasting a drop, and then kissed Angeal to pass some of the fluid to him. Zack watched with tired interest, wondering why they seemed so into drinking his semen. Zack had never tasted anyone's - was it that good?
The two 1sts kissed each other for what seemed a long few seconds, eyes closed and sighs rapturous. At the same time, they broke apart and looked at Zack, touching him all over together and watching him for his reaction. The puppy responded like a contented cat, arching and almost purring with happiness. It was several minutes before the questioning part of Zack's brain came online.
"How come you guys...uh..."
Genesis laughed, a lovely sound. "I imagine you have a few questions, cub. 'Geal and I have decided we'll answer. That's the only way, after all, that we're going to make this work."
"What exactly...is this?" Zack asked shyly.
"Nothing that you don't want, Puppy," Angeal said at once. "However you might feel about us - "
"I love you."
Angeal smiled. "Regardless, after you hear what we have to say, you can decline with no repercussions. We'll still love you and I'll still be your mentor."
"Does, um, does this have anything to do with why you guys keep smelling me?"
The 1sts looked at each other and snickered.
"You were right, 'Gealy, he noticed."
"He's an observant puppy."
"Does this mean you're gonna tell me?"
Angeal held out his hand and lifted Zack up. "We will tell you nearly all you'll want to know. I just hope you won't be repelled by us when you hear - "
Zack's arms flew around Angeal's middle. "I love you guys. It doesn't matter what you say."
Angeal exchanged a nervous look with Genesis over Zack's head, and squeezed the boy tightly. "Then let's talk."
To be continued.
