Red Equals Passionate
[A glimpse becomes a look; they could not be more different but they still balance each other out. GenesisxRosso; drabble series]
Disclaimer: I do not own these characters or the FFVII franchise.
A/N: This was a challenge I gave myself and this is the result. This one is more different than the other's because it's in first person and it's set in an AU setting. But seriously I so want to see this actually happening. Enjoy~!
Puppies
or (I'm not a dog person)
There aren't any animals in Deepground (coughazulcough). Sure, I learned about them…but learning gets redundant after a while.
Genesis says he is going to show me an actual dog. Hmm, there's nothing to do and almost every guy in SOLDIER save Genesis is afraid of me but then again I usually scare people. Must be my attitude…well, that or the accent.
"So tell me more about this dog…"
He smirks at my statement; he knows something about this "dog" that I do not. "Just answer the question, Drama Queen."
My pet name for Genesis. I believe I shouldn't have to point out why.
Moving on.
"Well, where to begin…It's a pretty big dog but it's still a puppy by dog age standards. He has black fur, blue eyes, zero attention span and can be a pain in the ass." A pause for effect (what effect are we talking about here?).
"But once you get past that last bit he's a good dog and you're pretty much guaranteed 0% boredom when you're with him."
This sounds like someone who could easily irritate me, if it were a person. Oh well, too late to turn back.
Loveless Ave. was the meeting place. Sure enough, Genesis' honor-preaching friend (Genesis has mentioned him before but I keep forgetting his name, damnit) is there along with someone else: a kid, about my age maybe younger. He has black spiky hair and blue…wait a sec.
That is the puppy Genesis was talking about?
"Hey Gen and I'm guessing you're the Rosso who's been popping up in our conversations lately." He extends his hand which I shake in response. "Angeal Hewley, pleasure to meet you."
He seems like the most normal and grounded of the Three Muskete—I mean, three elites. Genesis had mentioned this person to me before and it was clear just why they were such good friends.
They balance each other out to a T.
Friends…it feels so weird saying that word. Must be because in Deepground no such thing exists.
On to the puppy, who has just stepped forward to introduce himself.
While friendly, his all-too-perky voice just GRATED on my ears. "Zack Fair and I hope we get along!" Vigorous handshaking as he says this.
Goddess (crap, Drama Queen's rubbing off on me!), I can see why Genesis described him like that:
He's a puppy in a human body.
And now he wants to play, from the look of things.
I think I'll need Tylenol after this…
