It was nighttime in Derris-Kharlan. Genis snuck quietly through the huge hallways of Mithos' castle, so he wouldn't disturb the angel guards. He entered the ante-chamber and real quietly closed the door behind him.
Genis quickly scanned the room. "I know you're in here!" he shouted.
After, he heard a loud thud from behind the couch. Genis only laughed and ran to look behind the couch. To his surprise, there was no one behind it. Just then, Mithos wrapped his arms around Genis from behind.
"Gotcha!" Mithos shouted.
"Hey! What do you think you're doing? I'm supposed to be looking for you!" Genis yelled.
"Well you suck at hide n' seek. I thought I'd at least make things fun." Mithos smiled at Genis. "So? Are you having fun?"
Genis hadn't relized, but he was on top of Mithos on a couch. "Huh, well...umm..." Genis' face turned red and he couldn't quite gather the words he wanted to use.
"Are you embarassed? Awww...you're so cute!" Mithos said while hugging Genis.
"I-I am not cute! Don't treat me like a child!" Genis said, obviously flustered.
"How can I not when you're so adorable!" Mithos said teasingly.
"Grr! I'm going to bed now!" Genis stated, breaking out of Mithos' arms and stomping out of the room.
Mithos only looked at him walk away. He was happy. The first time in a long time. And Genis was the one who brought him all this happiness. And he wouldn't let anyone take him or their happiness away.
"Goodnight..." Mithos whispered.
The next day came fast. Mithos awoke on the couch where he was playing with Genis. He jumped off, stretched, and headed to wake Genis up. It was a bit of a walk. Mithos thought to himself, "Why did I have to have such a large castle?"
He finally arrived at Genis' door. Opening it quietly, he crept in the room. Walking up to Genis' bed, Mithos had a killer idea.
He jumped on the bed, shouting "Up up for pancakes!" After a couple of seconds of that, he realized the figure in the bed were two pillows. "Huh...Oh no!" he gasped, knowing exactly what was coming next.
Genis attacked Mithos from behind in the same fashion as last night. "Hey! What was that for?" Mithos yelled.
"A little thing called revenge..." Genis whispered seductively in Mithos' ear.
"HUH?! What are you planning?" Mithos asked loudly. Genis had both his arms pinned.
Mithos always thought of himself dominant. Or, at least compared to Genis. Being pinned down like this by the weaker boy made him uncomfortable. Genis knew that.
"I'll let you go, only if you apologize." Genis said with a big grin.
"...fine. I'm sorry." Mithos said blushing.
Genis got off of Mithos and sat next to him on the bed. "So, what's the plan for today?" he asked.
"I've gotta run to the Elf Village." Mithos answered.
"Huh? Why?" Genis wondered.
"A pact..." Mithos whispered "Um...nothing really important!"
Mithos stared at the ground intensly. He needed to confirm with Origin. "It would be easier to find Kratos, but I don't know where he is." Mithos said to himself.
"What about Kratos?" Genis asked.
"Oh, it's nothing. Genis, do you want to come with me?"
Genis' face lit up. "Of course!"
"Okay! We leave in a couple of hours." Mithos answered.
A couple of hours later...
"You ready Genis?" Mithos asked.
"Yep!" Genis answered.
"Alright!" Purple feathers began to surround Mithos' body. He floated into the air and a large flash of light blinded Genis.
When Genis regained sight, he saw Yggdrasil. "C'mon."
Genis, a little embarassed, climbed on his back and flew toward the Ymir Forest.
As they were flying, Genis asked "Are you alright? Am I too heavy?"
"Of course you're not! I have a Cruxis Crystal. My muscles are enhanced greatly. This is nothing!" Yggdrasil reassured. Genis remembered Colette and how she picked up Regal like it was nothing. And how Presea could wield such large axes. It made sense now. They had Cruxis Crystals.
They arrived at the Ymir Forest. Yggdrasil landed and chaged back into Mithos. "Why are we walking through the forest?" Genis asked.
"I thought we could take the scenic route." Mithos answered. But it was because Mithos couldn't enter the village with Genis. But he didn't want to tell him that. As he thought to himself, it began to rain.
"Wonderful...now it's raining!" Genis said sarcastically.
Mithos didn't care. He liked the rain. The forest was beautiful because of such rains.
They arrived at the entrance to the village. Mithos turned to Genis. He didn't want to do this, but if Genis were to enter, he could get hurt because he was a half-elf. It's horrible, but true. And he couldn't take that risk.
"Um...Genis, I need you to wait out here." Mithos said.
"Huh? Why can't I go in with you?" Genis asked sadly.
"It won't take long. So please, can you just wait out here?" Mithos was hurt, trying to ask him that.
"Okay. I trust you." Genis said.
Mithos breathed deeply and walked into the village. After he was out of sight, Genis sat at the pond, staring at the fish. The rain didn't let up, so he sat under a tree. Mithos was right though, the forest was beautiful, he thought.
Genis wondered what the other were doing. Are they looking for me? Are they worried? But he was happy with his current life with Mithos. If they ever found out, they would hate me. After all, Mithos is Yggdrasil, and Yggdrasil is their enemy. If they found out, they would harm Mithos, and he would not stand for it.
Genis thought to himself, "Maybe I can convince them that Mithos is a good person. And then, they wouldn't have to fight. We could all be friends and Mithos and I can be together with everyone."
Genis liked that thought, but knew it would never happen. Their ideals are just too different. He sat there, pondering more ideas on how everyone could be happy.
Mithos walked up to Genis sitting under the trees. He was drenched and looked quite a bit tired. Genis sat up and stared at Mithos. He had a scar on his left shoulder and was bleeding in a few spots.
"Mithos are you--"
"Wait...let me talk..." Mithos cut Genis off. "We've been together for a while now. You've given me so much hapiness, that I couldn't posssibly repay you. But, I want to be with you, so I can keep on being happy."
Mithos pulled something out of his pocket. It was a ring with a huge diamond. "I want to protect you, and the happiness we share. This ring symbolizes a pact we make together." Mithos placed the ring in Genis' hand. As he did that, Mithos fell to his knees.
"Mithos! Are you okay?" Genis got to his knees to talk to him on eye level.
"Yeah, I just took some injuries from fighting." Mithos answered.
"Who were you fighting?" Genis asked.
"Origin...I wanted to get that ring for the pact." Mithos stated.
Genis was speechless. Mithos loved him so much to go through this much trouble. Genis wrapped his arms around him. "Stupid...I don't need any stupid ring. What would of happened if you died?"
Mithos rested his head on Genis' shoulder. They both were crying. They sat like that for about 10 minutes.
Genis eventually pulled himself up. "C'mon. We have to treat your injuries." Genis lifted Mithos up and helped him walk to the forest entrance.
The whole trip was silent. Mithos seemed kind of dazed, which made Genis uneasy. But they eventually arrived at the entrance.
"Are you alright?" Genis asked.
"Yeah...yeah, I'm fine. Thank you..." Mithos answered. His bleeding had stopped, and they decided to take a break. They both layed down next to eachother.
"Mithos, why did you go through so much trouble for that ring?"
"Because...Origin will protect it's wearer from any danger. I want you to always be safe...if you died...I couldn't live either." Mithos was tired and needed medical treatment.
Genis turned so his face met Mithos', he moved in slowly and kissed him on his forehead. He wrapped his arms around him and held Mithos to his chest. Genis began to stroke his hair. Mithos had then fell asleep.
"GENIS!!" Genis had heard someone shout his name. He shot up to look and see who it was.
Standing in front of him, Lloyd and company looked at him with shocked expressions.
