Chapter 2: Love Lessons Part 2.
Genis was facing Zelos wondering why he suddenly froze. Now Genis didn't care to look where Zelos was looking, because Zelos's body was still facing Genis, only his eyes were looking at Raine. Genis didn't even know if Zelos wasn't looking at him, because it was dark. Genis couldn't figure out why Zelos froze, because it definitely wasn't what he said, for it was what Zelos wanted him to say.
Genis was about to open his mouth and ask Zelos why he was suddenly not saying anything, but before he could he heard the crunchy noises of a person walking to the right of him. (A/N Raine wasn't walking towards them, she just shifted a bit on the grass cause she was dumbfounded.) And then he turned around facing Raine, knowing that she heard at the very least that Genis said "I love you" to Zelos.
"Um Raine… it's not what you think…um-" said Genis trying to tell his sister what was going on, but had been interrupted by Zelos.
"Raine, Raine my darling Genis doesn't really love me, we were just playing a game," Zelos tried to not tell Raine that Genis liked Presea but unbeknownst to him Genis didn't care if his sister knew about it, "well you see-"
"Zelos what are you doing, just tell her… aw heck," Raine was about to shout to Genis to not say the word "heck" but she didn't since she still didn't knew what was going on, "I'll tell her, okay Raine what you heard was Zelos teaching me how to um… flirt…with a girl," wondered Genis if flirt was the right term, since he couldn't think up of anything at the moment, "Because um… I… um…li-lik-"
"Kid if you can't say it, I will," interrupted Zelos getting tired of Genis's stuttering, "your little bro likes Presea, and I was teaching him how to get close to her, since the little brat, (woops shouldn't have said that) was too scared to talk to Presea."
Raine had finished processing all the information, and understood that Zelos was testing to see if Genis could say "I like you" to a man, so then it would be easier to say it to a girl.
"It seems that you are going to need some help." Raine offered, since she wanted to help her little brother out, besides she couldn't trust Zelos to teach Genis all by himself.
"Huh? Oh sure." Zelos said in a confused tone, since he knew that they didn't need any help, and from Raine's tone, she sounded like they needed help, or is it something else.
"Zelos? What lesson will you be teaching me now?" asked Genis.
"Uh, right? Lesson number two: Conversing with Your Love. Which in this case will still be me!" said Zelos knowing that Genis will still be scared upon hearing what he said.
"What! I thought only lesson one was me saying I love you, now I have to um… what do I have to do exactly?"
"Okay it's very simple really, since you love me, you have to pretend to ask me out. You have to engage me in a conversation and then by being yourself you have to ask me on a date. This lesson teaches two things, how to converse to the person you love, and of course it will be easier to talk to Presea, since you can talk to a man like this, and remember don't be yourself, but don't try to be someone else. Now scrimmage time, just remember that you love me, and this will be day one of lesson two, so in other words, Zelos will act like Zelos, but on day two, I will act like Presea. Understand?" lectured Zelos.
"Yes."
"Alright!" said Zelos who was about to start, but he thought since Raine was here she had to do something, "And Raine you act like a distraction, when we are conversing, you come and interrupt us and stuff. Understand?"
"Not quite, do I act like Raine or like someone else?"
"Like a stranger." Replied Zelos.
"Okay."
"Alright Scrimmage!"
Genis was at the far side of the yard, and Zelos was at the middle, and Raine was somewhere in between. Genis started to walk forwards, and as the moon light shone at the middle, Genis saw Zelos, with his back faced towards him.
Okay Genis you can do this, just remember you love Zelos. Ack! How did I end up letting Zelos do this to me? Oh well… it's for Presea… it's for Presea… it's for Prese-
"Oh Genis! What are you doing here?" asked Zelos who turned around as he saw Genis who started to sweat like crazy. Zelos's face grew into an angry one and whispered rather loudly, "GO ON…"
"Um… Hi Zelos… um nice d-da… night right?"
"Yes it does seem so… so what brings you here?" asked Zelos waiting for Genis to answer.
"Um I-I-I h-have a quest-question to ask of y-you, um… d-do you-" Genis was about to finish his last words, but a shadow behind him came by.
"Um sirs? Do you have the time?" asked Raine who made Zelos sigh with relief.
"Yes I do, it's um 3:30 AM."
"Thanks." And with that Raine walked away.
"So Genis you were about to finish what you were going to say?" said Zelos.
"Yes, it's just um… do you want to go out with me?"
"… HAHAHAHAHA! No way! I'm sorry squirt, but better luck with someone else!" and with that Zelos walked away, leaving Genis sad and confused all at the same time. He didn't understand if he should be sad, "Okay brat, you did okay. You just weren't being yourself, and you… here look how the teacher does it. Okay Raine I will practice on you-"
"…" popped above Raine's head.
"Hey miss."
"Hello."
"Nice night. So," said Zelos as he started to lean against a tree beside him. "what brings you here?"
"I should be asking you?"
"Well it's dangerous around these parts, and I just thought you needed some protection?"
"I'm sorry I don't need any, I can perfectly take care of myself."
Zelos stopped leaning against the tree, "But-"
"And you still didn't answer my question." Said Raine, trying to irritate Zelos, knowing that his way of flirting won't help Genis with Presea.
"Well I kind of thought I heard a lady screaming here for help."
"Nope sorry, none of those here, you know we women can take care of us."
"Well that's true, I respect that… Okay then if you can take care of yourselves, then can you help me?"
"You? A strong man such as yourself… what help could you want?"
"To ask you out on a date."
"Me? But I'm just a poor half-elf, I'm sorry you won't find any interest in me."
"Oh but I do."
"I'm sorry you won't possible like me… good night sir."
Zelos turned silent as he saw Raine walk away, even though he knew that Raine was coming back. Genis grew silent too, also he was confused, now he felt more hopeless as ever.
"Okay I understand what I did wrong, I should have leaned on her shoulder when I had the chance." Zelos thought out loud. "Okay Raine let's try that again.
"I'm sorry Zelos that's not it-"
"Wait I know, you were rejecting me on purpose!"
"Yes and no." Raine walked in front of Zelos who was rather hysterical at the moment, "you see, girls don't like men treating them as weak and defenseless. Look the way you speak, some girls might like, but I for one don't, as a matter of fact, that's probably why Sheena calls you an idiot. And you even forgot your rules! You weren't… I know that real Zelos won't talk like that," whispered Raine, who started to blush.
"Huh? What was that last thing?" asked Zelos.
"Fine, then you teaches Genis how to talk to a girl, then we will have scrimmage time again."
"Okay Genis, girls don't like people to try to act like themselves, and they even hate it when they try to act like someone else, especially if they already know what kind of person you are. I'm not saying that you shouldn't be yourself. See you shouldn't be yourself, but be yourself at the same time. Just see me and then you will try."
"Okay Zelos you stand over there."
"But wait sister? You are a woman, I'm a boy."
"So."
"How can I-"
"It doesn't matter, if Zelos were to act like me, he would have done a better job than his last try."
"Um, okay." Said Genis who was feeling very confused.
"Hi." Said Raine.
"Hi" replied Zelos.
"What is your name?"
"Zelos. But who are you to ask for my name." said Zelos not really caring if he took Lloyd's and Raine's line. (A/N I think the line is also owned by Raine.)
"I'm Raine Sage. I am a scholar, studying the beach life here, and you seemed like an inteluctuall person, so would you mind answering some questions I have: Do you think clams are invertebrates or mollusks?"
"Well let me think, I think they are mollusks, even though they have no bones, or a spine, they have two shells protecting them. Any creatures with two shells surrounding them are bivalve, and mollusks are bivalve."
"Hmm, yes that seems logical. Okay can you answer my next question… You see Genis, now that also teaches something new, you don't have to ask a girl out on a date, if you are a person who doesn't feel comfortable asking someone out, then you can just lead them into one like I did."
Wow! I guess we did need help after all.
"Okay Raine and Genis I think we should get some shut eye. Tomorrow will be day two."
And with that the glass panel opened up and two teachers, and one student all went to their respective rooms.
Gosh that was a long chappie. In my opinion. Anyway what do you think. Raine was a big help eh?
