Fallen Love
Chapter 1 The Betrayed and The Forgiven
The wind blew unfriendly, dropping crystal clear snow over the roofs of the houses of the cold town of Flanoir. In one of those houses, an almost silent mourn was heard, as a young half-elf silver-haired boy troubled by his thoughts, his head was in his pillow, the blanket not over him since he did not feel cold.
His tears were on his cheeks, they would have been frozen if they represented how bad he felt. The memory still clear in his mind which made his beautiful eyes red from all the sadness.
Genis Sage remembered everything that happened, all he had with that person was indescribable and hard to put into words even in poetry.
The sad boy looked up to the ceiling in the darkness alone, Raine and three other of the party members left to take the doctor to Altessa's house. The three of the remaining party members wanted to take care of him but he felt the need to be alone.
His heart still ached from that day but the emotions from the past were becoming more blissful.
Yesterday
After returning from Welgaia everyone was waiting for Tabatha and Altessa to come out of the room to say that Collete was hopefully ok and the rune crest is working, Zelos was trying to comfort Lolyd by offering him something to eat, but just like him when he is worried he said "I'm not hungry."
It was obvious he was worried since he never usually says no to food even when its been a long time since the whole party had anything to eat.
The young mage also had a gloomy look on his face, Mithos looked to his best friend and asked with concern in his voice "You ok Genis?"
As he heard the question he turned to him and replied "Yeah I am fine, I am just worried about Collete that's all."
The blond half elf looked to him wondering if he was ok or not, at that point Tabatha and Altessa came out, the old dwarf told everyone "The treatment is complete, Collete will be ok."
The whole party was pleased at hearing that, the colourful Chosen suggested "That's great lets eat a big dinner in celebration of her recovery."
Lloyd asked him "Why are you always like that?"
Zelos said while hugging him around the shoulders from behind "Because you are my best friend."
Mithos asked the silver-haired half-elf "Genis are you tired?"
The young mage replied "Yeah just a little." but even though he did not want to but he started to doubt his friendship with the other half-elf.
After dinner no one said anything else other then goodnight as everyone went to bed. Genis looked up to the ceiling not able to sleep thinking about the panpipes he found at the Tower of Salvation.
Finding the wind instrument there made him think too much of all of the possibilities of what may happen.
It was too much for him to think so he got out of his bed and sneaked out of the bedroom, every footstep he took was a small and cautious step not wanting to wake anyone in the house. The silver-haired mage slowly opened the door and slipped through it.
After entering the living room Genis continued to tip toe over to the front door to go out for a breath of fresh air. Since the mad archeologically professor was not up she could not question what he was doing which was a big upside because she would not try to find a way to make him go back to bed.
As soon as he got to the door he opened it slowly and slithered through it after opening it a little.
He breathed in the cold night air and went over to the near by newly formed boulders since the recent earthquake where Mithos saved Tabitha from been hit by them.
The young half-elf sat down, just as he did that he brought out the panpipes and looked at them as if wanting to check for any little differences on it but just as he thought none was found.
Genis sighed sadly and thought aloud quietly "Mithos…. are you lying to me?"
A voice suddenly asked "Genis what you doing up so late?"
The young mage looked at him, surprised by his appearance, he put the panpipes away before he noticed not wanting him to see just in case.
The blond half-elf sat next to him and smiled to him like normal, Genis always felt happy when he did that but this time it was not helping due to the fact of one likelihood that he might be someone that he and his companions swore to stop.
The young mage got out of his trance noticing that Mithos was waiting for an answer so he said "I errrr couldn't sleep….. so why are you up?"
He asked it with a bit of suspicion in his voice, his so called best friend answered "I couldn't sleep either but then I saw you up so I thought we can talk and stuff."
The smile given to Genis was somehow very real but yet also made him wonder if he actually meant anything to him.
He smiled back to the blond half-elf just to show part of his emotions to him, but still a part of him doubted Mithos.
As Genis looked up at the stars his blond-haired friend smiled and pointed out to the moon and said "Looks beautiful tonight doesn't it?"
The other half-elf smiled and replied "Yeah it is."
The two young boys kept there eyes locked onto the starry night, Genis thought for a moment and decided to talk to him and so he said "Mithos.."
The blond boy looked to his best friend and asked "Yes?"
The other boy asked out of the blue "Would you ever tell me the truth…. no matter what it was?"
Mithos was caught off guard by that and replied with a question "Genis why are you asking me this?
The silver-haired boy looked at him with seriousness in his voice "Just answer me, would you ever be honest?"
The other half-elf looked at his best friend with all sincerity "I would never lie to you ever……… what brought this up?"
Genis just did not say anything about what he found at the Tower of Salvation and decided to say "I just wanna make sure I can trust you."
Mithos knew that he had a deeper reason for asking but decided to leave it there but instead he took his chin with his hand and made him look into his eyes and said "Genis you can always trust me."
The silver mage felt a bit shy looking into his eyes, he did not know why but he just did, he also somehow saw in his eyes what he said to be true. His friend kept his eyes locked onto his own, this made Genis blush because he did not expect to be looking so deep into his friend's eyes.
The blond half-elf noticed this and blushed himself. He let go of his face and looked up at the stars again.
Genis also looked up to the stars and asked "So what did you want to talk about then?"
His best friend looked back into his eyes and gave him the most peculiar look he had ever seen, it was making him sort of uncomfortable and wondered what the blond half-elf was thinking.
The young mage again but this time asked "Mithos…. is something wrong? Why are you staring at me like that?"
The only half-elf friend he ever had stared deep into his eyes and said in a weird way quietly but loud enough for him to hear "The stars look even better reflected in your eyes."
Genis blushed red at what he heard and said "Ummmmmm…" feeling embarrassed he quickly got up and was about to run but he tripped up and landed into Mithos's lap.
The half-elf boys both blushed about the position they were in, the blond boy's face came closer to the young mage's face, it did not cross Genis's mind to get up or run, he just sat there in his best friend's lap waiting for what was to come.
It was at that moment Mithos kissed Genis on his lips, he was not sure how to react at first as he felt the blond half-elf kiss him, the young silver mage saw that his eyes were closed as he kissed him.
At that moment Genis felt something it was an unusual feeling but he felt the urge to do something so he followed his instincts and started to kiss back.
This made Mithos smile into the kiss as they continued into it going deeper but not too far since Genis was new to this sort of thing. The blond half-elf laid the one he was kissing down upon the ground, as their lips continued to move against each other.
The young mage's hand stroked through the blond hair lovingly wanting to stay like this forever with him, but to Genis's disappointment Mithos broke the kiss obviously needing air to breathe.
The silver hair boy looked at him wondering why he had stopped, he got his answer when Mithos swept him off of his feet, into his arms and said "Genis….. such a sweet kisser you are."
The young mage smiled as he laid in his arms and said "You are also sweet to me Mithos."
The silver half-elf laid against the others chest loving the feeling of being held, the other young boy carried Genis back into Altessa's house quietly making sure not to wake anybody up.
The blond half-elf got back into the guest bedroom with his best friend in his arms and laid him down upon an empty bed, it was then the silver mage was kissed by him again which did not bother him except they were doing it while everyone was still asleep.
Genis whispered in between kisses "Mithos…. what if someone wakes up and sees us?"
The blond boy replied whispering playfully "Then we will let them watch."
The other half-elf took his answer and continued their beautiful kiss, their hands explored each other's faces, through their hair and their chests.
They both moaned quietly, but at that point Lloyd woke up and looked to see both Mithos and Genis locked in their blissful kiss, oblivious to him and the world.
The two bladed swordsman looked away with a disgusted but yet shocked look on his face and thought "Stupid dream." he then laid back down and fell into his deep slumber once more.
A few minutes after that the two half-elf boys fell asleep both whispering to each other "Good night." Genis laid his head on top of Mithos's chest while hugging each other close as they fell asleep.
Later That Night
The silver half-elf woke up still feeling drowsy, the first thing that caught his attention was that Mithos was not with him, this made him wonder "Was it all just a dream?"
The second thing were the voices outside, they sounded loud, so he got up and decided to check. Raine saw him as she got up as well and said "Genis don't go out alone…. It could be dangerous."
Genis been the best young brother as he can be listened to his older sister, before the two went out Altessa's asked "What's going on outside at this time?"
The half-elf professor replied "We don't know, we were about to check." as she opened the front door the whole party went out to see Lloyd, Collete, Kratos on the ground and Mithos looking over Yuan's injured form.
Altessa cried "What's going on!"
Genis who was very shocked by this asked while hoping this was the dream "Mithos, so it's true?"
His so called best friend looked to him with evil in his eyes and said as if it did not matter "What's true? That you shouldn't have trusted me? Good guess Genis. Because I didn't trust you either!"
Mithos tried to zap Presea at that point but Altessa jumped in the way of his target. Tabatha who was also surprised by this said in her monotone voice "MITHOS...SAVED ME..."
The now blond malevolent half-elf shouted "Shut up!" He shot the living doll with another one of his spells, she said as if mimicking denial in some form "MITHOS SAVED ME...MITHOS..."
Raine asked in disbelief "How could you do that? You even risked your life to save her!"
Genis asked "Mithos why? Why are you doing this? How could you hurt Tabatha and Altessa! You got along so well with them!"
The blond half-elf said with a bit of poison in his voice "Tabatha! That doll looks so disturbingly like my sister. I never could stand her! She's a failed vessel who couldn't accept my sister's soul! Just looking at her makes me sick!"
Lloyd shouted "You little bastard! How dare you betray my best friend!" He brought out his blade and hit Mithos with his Demon Fang.
The young silver mage went between them and said pleadingly "Please! You're both my friends!"
Suddenly a half-elf woman wearing odd clothings and green hair appeared out of no where, the woman known as Pronyma said "Lord Yggdrasill, your wounds are not yet healed." she then offered "Please leave this to the angels."
Mithos closed his eyes, a bright light suddenly appeared around his body, Genis covered his eyes from it, when it disappeared the silver half-elf looked to where the blond boy once stood, he was now in angelic form, Genis stood there shocked and upset hoping this was but a dream and he would wake up in Mithos's arms, but it was not.
The angel there was Yggdrasill, he replied to the green haired half-elf "All right." they disappeared without a trace and angels materialized, Genis was angered, yet he felt betrayed by all of this.
Tears ran down his cheeks as he felt pain in his heart, as if it was breaking to small fragments, it was something that he never felt before. The battle with Cruxis had begun.
Present
Genis came out of his thoughts and cried into his pillow more letting out a few sniffles. His tears stained the soft comfy head rest, he then asked aloud "Mithos….. 'sniff' how could you 'sniff' betray me?"
He heard a familiar voice "What do you mean by betray you?"
The young mage suddenly went cold and nervously turned to the direction of where the voice came from, he saw the one who he thought was his best friend.
The two half-elf boys looked at one another neither one saying a thing, Mithos knew what he did to the one he cared for so much, it hurt him so much seeing the young mage in tears. Genis was so pained looking at the other half-elf that he wish he did not care for him anymore.
The silver mage asked sadly a bit poisonous "What are you doing here?... You've come to laugh at my naïve ways?"
The blond half-elf looked at him with concern and said "Laugh? What do you mean by that? I do not want to do that to someone like you."
Genis replied sadly but a bit more angrily "Well why are you here then? Are you here to remind that I should not have trusted you?" Mithos looked down, ashamed and stood there not saying a word. The young mage nearly shouted, tears still on his face "Answer me!"
His so called best friend said sadly "I am sorry that I said such things. I did not mean them."
Genis who was now confused asked "What do you mean…. you said right there that you did not trust me."
Mithos looked down at his feet "I… I lied… I do trust you…. I just did not want…. what I am trying to say is that I did not want anyone to know about us."
The silver half-elf was now confused more by what he heard from him, he said in a puzzled tone "I do not understand what you mean"
The young boy sat down next to Genis and replied "I lied back there when I said I did not trust you, I…….. I need you."
The silver half-elf looked at his best friend and thought in his head what to do, he still cared for him but can he really trust him again after he had lied about who he was, Genis's mind said do not believe him, but his heart said Mithos is still Mithos.
The blond half-elf looked at his best friend who still had a few stray tears, his hand went up to the silver mage's face nervously since he did not know what his reaction would be.
His hand came in contact with the mage's cheek and wiped the tear away, he then cupped his cheek and slowly kissed away the other tear on the other side of his face.
Genis for some reason felt better feeling the other half-elf's lips on his cheek it made him feel safe but it was counteracted by his doubt to believe in his best friend.
It was in that moment Mithos's lips touched the young mage's, the kiss was not long it was like a peck, however before the blond boy could break it the other half-elf kissed his lips with affection.
The silver half-elf felt like he was melting into the kiss, Genis's hand went up to stroke Mithos's cheek who in return hugged him close to his body, their loving kiss was cut short when the blond boy broke it.
Genis looked to him and asked "Why did you stop?"
Mithos replied in a sweet voice "I do need to breath too you know." the smile on his face told the mage that their warm kiss was not over, as their lips came in contact again the two half-elf boys laid down upon the bed, their hands started to explore each others bodies, the two moaning into the kiss when their hands came in contact with their skin.
It felt perfect for them, even if they were young, but it was then the blond half-elf asked when breaking the kiss "Genis?"
The young mage replied "Yes Mithos?"
He swallowed a bit nervously and said "Come with me." it was not forceful but rather pleading for the right answer.
Genis felt shocked and exclaimed "What?"
The young blond boy looked into his eyes and said while affectionately stroking his cheek "I said come with me." he saw the look on his friends face and asked "Is something wrong?"
The silver half-elf explained "Yes there is….. I can not just leave Lloyd, Raine and everyone else behind….. they mean so much to me….." he looked down at his feet as a force of habit when stuck with something, he carried on saying "But I really care for you too that I want to be with you….." he sighed "but…"
Mithos knew what he was going to hear as he added "Both you and Lloyd offer different perspectives on how to get rid of discrimination of those in between like us…." Genis held the blond half-elf's hands in his.
Mithos said as he caressed the mage's cheek "Whatever you decide, I will understand", as the one in silver was about to speak a word, a finger was placed upon his lips, the blond elf said sweetly "You don't have to answer right now"
Mithos came closer to Genis, kissing his lips affectionately once again, but was hastily broken apart, he informed the mage "I will wait for you on the base of The Tower of Salvation" and with that last phrase said, Mithos's figure began to fade away, leaving a trail of sparkling lights as he levitated higher and higher, still holding Genis's hand. He let go of it as he disappeared into the darkness of the night.
Left behind Mithos's voice was heard as it said "I will wait for you"
