"And you agreed?" Genesis yelled at the brunette, making her wince. Genesis had never raised his voice at Alex before but he was so angered. Just when he thought someone understood him, he was mistaken.

"He asked me to the dance and I said yes! Is there a problem with that?" Alex retorted.

Genesis stammered, still stunned. "Yes! You do realize you agreed to dance with that silver haired brute. What if he steps on your feet? He's so large and ungraceful, he might crush your feet. You might never be able to walk again? "

Alex's mouth hung open for a good twenty seconds as she gave him an annoyed look. "Really?" Was he so pathetic that her feet were the only reason she shouldn't dance with him? "You're losing your creativity, Genesis."

Genesis frowned as he glared into her dark brown eyes. He finally sighed in defeat. "I suppose that is a bit farfetched." He remained frowning, his features cold and unmoving.

"Why are you making a big deal about this? I get to choose who I get go with." Alex replied angrily. Genesis softened as the brunette frowned deeply.

"You know. You're right. You are absolutely right." Genesis scoffed. "Why should I care?"

"I don't understand why you're making such a big deal over this. Why are you mad at me?" Alex asked, a little hurt embedded between the lines.

"I am mad because… I thought you understood." Genesis softly explained.

"Understood what?"

Genesis sneered, a scowl spreading on his face. "Exactly. Forget it."

"No. I won't!" Alex exclaimed. "You come to me and talk about how terrible he is and I never understood why. Did he do something to you? Are you jealous?"

"I thought you of all people would understand. Alex, I- … Being a Soldier means everything to me. He just… mocks me. He knows he's better than me. Alex, from the day I met you, I saw how hard you worked. I saw it in the way you acted and… I thought you would understand… that when you work so hard for something and you don't-" he cut himself short. He sighed before recomposing himself. "It doesn't matter. Forget it Alexandra."

Genesis just gave a fake smile and turned away, leaving her gaping.

"My friend, the fates are cruel. There are no dreams, no honor remains."

"Hey! Get over here! You can't just quote and walk out on me! I am not done with you Rhapsodos. You are such an asshole!"

Genesis muttered angrily as he entered the training room. He needed to blow off some steam. He hastily entered a code and a simulation started. Nightfall engulfed him and his only light was the orange moon and the stars. Genesis let his senses and instincts take over. The hairs on the back of his neck rose with exiliration. It was that feeling… that rush. It was what he lived for, and what Alex apparently didn't understand. He heard the ruffling of bushes, a dead giveaway to what was to come. He closed his eyes and listened, practicing a technique Angeal had taught him. He counted his enemies by the sounds. He tightened the hold on his hilt and smirked. He loved his job.

Wutanian soldiers surrounded him and charged at him. He gracefully slashed at the doomed holograms. Genesis remained untouched as he ducked and jumped with poise. He tore through a man's chest and beheaded another. His intricate dance came to an end when he spotted that bastard. He finished the last soldier easily and charged at the silver figure. Sephiroth side stepped and smirked. Genesis spun and slashed midair, a maneuver Sephiroth easily evaded. Genesis faltered and landed on his knees. His features darkened and his shoulders tensed.

"You are much too immature." Commented Sephiroth, his smugness making Genesis want to hurl.

"You are much too cocky." Genesis replied, anger embedded in his tone.

"Hmph. Is that so? Alexandra doesn't seem to think so." Sephiroth brought up, making Genesis grit his teeth.

"It's Alex!" he retorted. "I swear you now Sephiroth; you hurt her and I will behead you. Do I make myself clear?" He barked.

"Oh? Really? How pathetic. Is that jealousy I hear?" Sephiroth asked, arrogance written on his face, clearly shown in the moon's light.

"I am not jealous." Genesis emphasized. "I worry for her. She deserves better."

"Better? Are you referring to yourself?" the silver haired man asked.

"Of course not. She is like a sister to me." Genesis smoothly lied. He had never considered Alex as a sister. It was too weird to look at her like a sibling. What they had was better, more special.

"So then, if I were to simply kiss your 'sister', you would not mind, would you?" The Older General proposed. Genesis tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword.

"It is her choice." Genesis forced himself to say.

Sephiroth smirked, a strange glow in his emerald eyes.

"You wouldn't be able to do anything even if I did hurt her."

"Goddess help you, I'd-"

"I know. I know." Sephiroth sighed, bored. "You will behead me. I find that very hard to believe when you can't even manage to touch me. In fact, you can't even touch Alex, can you?"

"Shut the hell up!" growled Genesis.

"I guess I will just have to take care of her for you." Sephiroth announced. Genesis snapped and lunged, headstrong on ripping him in half.

Genesis entered his apartment room, clutching at his right side. Sephiroth tore right through him. He used materia to heal himself but it hurt nonetheless. He wore a sour expression to match his pissed off attitude. He kicked off his boots and plopped onto his couch, a decision he regretted. He winced, a deeper frown engraving his face. Genesis let out a sigh, pain evident in it.

Everything was too friggin' great. Sephiroth was acting like freakin' molester. Alex was Alex, stubborn as hell. They were going to get married and have kids and there was going to be little Sephy babies running around and-

Maybe he was going too far…

"You're home!" chirped Melinda. Genesis shifted his cerulean eyes over to her. She wore a bright smile. The blonde sat next to him, clinging to him. Unfortunately, she pressed into his side, making him wince silently. She gasped, eyes wide open. Before she could say anything, Genesis interjected.

"It's not that bad. Don't you worry." His lavish voice caressed her worries.

"Is there anything I can do to make you feel better?" She offered. Genesis grinned mischievously.

"I can think of a few things." He smirked as he smothered her lips with his.
