Disclaimer: I do not own CCFF7 or the characters. This yaoi is mine. Thank Square Enix for making a canonly gay character. 3 Genesis. Anyway, yeah, me no own. Don't hurt me.
Warning: yaoi. If you don't like it, please refrain from reading. Take your flaming elsewhere. Established SephirothxGenesis and language.
Author's Note: This also happens sometime between A Taste of Banora and Heartless Angel. Before the Wutai mission, before Genesis is promoted to Commander, before Sephiroth gets stuck in Modeoheim collecting Jenova samples. Yeah. I am sure there is a chapter saying that, I just don't feel like looking through all of them again at the moment.
IF LOOKS COULD KILL
The SOLDIER floor was uneventful for the most part. The current cadet class was out in the fields just past Midgar city limits, running through their first real combat scenarios. Most of the SOLDIER Second Classes were on patrol duty, either in Midgar or other cities in the ShinRa empire. Thirds were left to stew in the ShinRa building, in uniform, not allowed to do anything but sit around in case they were needed.
Of course, that was changing today, thankfully. Kunsel looked at the clock on the wall, giving a happy sigh to see it was almost time. Director Lazard had announced early that morning that the Thirds were going to be supervised and advised by two SOLDIER First Classes, though he refused to state which two. Kunsel imagined Angeal would be one of them, since he was currently around the ShinRa building. General Sephiroth was off protecting President ShinRa as he toured their little economic empire and Genesis Rhapsodos was probably in Banora again.
Who the second one would be, Kunsel had no idea, but he was excited to find out. He came into the main area of SOLDIER floor, with its recessed seating area and wide windows. Midgar city lights were twinkling out there light a normal city might in night, but it was mid-day.
The wait was not a long one. Soon there were a few other SOLDIER Third Classes, no doubt the ones specifically asked into this by Lazard. The blond was picky about who got the most attention. He only used resources on the ones he felt were worth it. Smart man.
The elevator doors slid open down the hall, graceful, swaying steps moving leisurely down the hall. Kunsel saw the crimson coat and started. He thought Genesis was still in Banora. Apparently he had gotten back. Those lips, which were usually in a wicked smirk, were pressed into a firm line, a gloved hand running through auburn locks. Those blue eyes were wary.
Kunsel immediately stood at attention, hand raising in a salute in unison with the other fledgling SOLDIERs. Genesis waved the gesture off, crossing his arms before his chest, leaning back against the wall with his ankles crossed. He was obviously waiting for the other SOLDIER First Class to arrive, and had just as obviously been roped into this against his will. Kunsel could see it written all across that tired, indifferent face.
The elevator opened again, all eyes turning in that direction. Those steps were light, fluid like they were floating rather than stepping, just as unrushed as the last. Silver hair swayed instead of hips with every stride. Kunsel's eyes widened. He had never seen the General in person before. He was just as uncanny and ethereal as all of the rumors stated, and then some.
When Sephiroth stepped into the pseudo-room, everyone but Genesis stood a little straighter and saluted. Some of them were trembling. Kunsel could not tear his eyes from the silver haired General. The General seemed to not even notice them, head turning slightly to the side, slit-pupil green eyes locking with azure ones.
The look they gave each other…
Kunsel's eyes widened even more, seeing the smirk curling up the corners of Genesis' lips, the fire ignited in Sephiroth's eyes. The silver haired General took one step towards the redhead, movement prowling, exerting force and intimidation and pure sexual energy. Genesis' eyes mirrored it.
For a moment it looked as though the General would throw Genesis against the wall and pound him into the metal panel. Kunsel held his breath, heart refusing to beat as he listened, hearing a quiet "Hello," from Sephiroth and the responding purr of "Long time, no see…" from Genesis.
When they finally turned away from one another, the tension in the room did not dissipate. Far from it.
If the two SOLDIER First Classes vanished at some point during the training exercise, he would not be surprised. In fact, he would be more surprised if they didn't.
