AN: ^^; Yet again, another shortend down from how long it would've been had I continued on with writing and dragging out the word count. This is the dreaded unintentional violence in a way against Angeal...*bows*...I'm sorry Angeal fans. Not intended hurt was meant against him.

"Zackary Nathaniel Fair! I told you and warned you to leave breakfast alone!" Angeal scolded the raven haired teen as he made for the bacon again with his bandaged fingers from trying to sneak still hot bacon greased on the pan as well as the occasional hand swats from Angeal, "I should make you starve."
Zack pouted as he sat back in his seat, watching as Cloud walked in with a smile on his face, "What are you happy about all of a sudden while I'm sitting here miserable…?"
Cloud sat down beside Zack, "I hope you won't feel too put out, but I kinda agreed to go over to Sephiroth's place for the day…he asked if I would come over and look over his new project's work. Kind of give my opinion since I'm going to be his Publisher…"
"It's no problem; I'll just watch the Movie Marathon with…" Zack's eyes turned to puppy like in five seconds flat as he turned them on Angeal, "Angeal, right?"
"Sorry Pup," Angeal ran his hand through Zack's hair, "I've got some errands to run in town and I'm going to busy all day in town…Maybe next time?"
"It's alright, Angeal…"Zack shrugged as he went from some of the breakfast, "But, I'm holding you to that promise the next time you try and get out of something with me."
Angeal chuckled as he ran his hands down the back of Zack's head as he pulled him in for a chaste kiss, "Don't worry…I don't break promises."

The School fair had come up and yet again, like usual, the young student was alone yet again. He found himself apart from the ones that called themselves friends and as it may have seemed; he was wandering about the festival grounds aimlessly without any direction. Those that were his friends had found their way towards an attraction that had caught their attention, leaving the young student alone. Festival lights and sounds of the attractions amongst the cheers and laughter seemed to drone out the soft tears of the lone student as he curled up against one of the tents of the stands. No one would care if he sat alone and cried. He was unwanted, uncared about and unloved, or at least he thought.
"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be having fun…"the boy's teacher had found the young boy as he knelt down in front of him, propping the boy's head by a finger to the boy's forehead, "What's wrong?"
The little boy sniffled as he wiped his nose on his sleeve, "No one cares I exist and I…I'm scared of being here…I don't like riding roller coasters alone…"
A soft smile graced the Teacher's face as his hand moved down the boy's face, bringing it up so he could see the boy's tear stained face as he softly kissed the boy on the cheek, "…How about, I ride a roller coaster of your choice with you…?"
"R-Really?" a soft blush graced the boy's face as a soft quirking smile played on his face, "Oh right…Let's go then!"
"Cute start to the new part of your tale, Sephy darling, but tell me something?" the alter ego figured leaned over the man's shoulder as he watched the man's fingers type over the keystrokes of the keyboard, "Is it just me or are using your experiences with blondie as inspiration for the parts of this story of yours?"
Sephiroth's fingers stopped the keystrokes as he looked up to the man with the black rimmed glasses upon his face, "And what if I am? I'm not revealing anything that reveals that I am writing off my own relationship…this is a spin off with different themes and imagery."
The alter ego figure twirled his fingers in Sephiroth's hair as he sighed, "Well, you better hope blondie understands that and thinks the same way about as you do or else you're going to, as Ricky use to tell Lucy, 'you've got some explainin' to do'."

Everyone was setting up for their own activities that day, Angeal was preparing to leave once he was sure that Zack wouldn't be able to see him leave in his business suit for the Parole Hearing, Cloud was looking over his things, questioning if he should plan to pack a night over at Sephiroth's. At the same token, the idea of inviting himself over for the night didn't seem like a proper idea, but best to ready for anything that could possibly happen. As it odd as it seemed, Zack had the same thoughts as he knocked on Cloud's door, sounding a little too happy which could mean a number of things.
"Cloud, Cloud, Cloud, Cloud" each word was followed by a rampant knock with the back of Zack's hand; if Cloud didn't know any better he would've thought that outside his door was a hyperactive, jet black Pomeranian with Zack's haircut was outside his door, yipping in a high pitch tone, "Come on Cloud, open up!"
Cloud finally got fed up with the pounding on the door as he opened it; and it was met with Zack yelping as he fell face first onto the floor, "What is it, Zack? Make it quick because I want to get out of here before the first movie comes on because you know I can stand it when you watch just cheesy Musicals…"
"I just wanted to give you a little present before you left," in Zack's hands were a kit that he hidden the title of it from Cloud's peripheral view as Zack dashed away from the door, "ENJOY YOUR TIME OVER AT SEPHIROTH'S!"
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
It seemed like a friendly peace offering but it was short lived as the sounds of Cloud's scream at Zack ran for the couch in the Living Room; thankfully for Angeal, he was already blocks away from the house and Zack was content with his movies. And Cloud was heading for Sephiroth's, everyone was happy and content and their own way to happiness. Angeal was on his way to Hell. Hell was a long road leading to the Main House of Hell where Satan himself was waiting for him to come and bail him out the Main House and take Angeal along with him, at least, that was Satan's plan. Satan was his ex that was waiting in Main House which was to others the Court House while the Board of Jurors of whether Satan would get out with help by the Angel was the Parole Board. All Angeal could do as he drove towards the Court House to face the Parole Board, his Ex's family and his Ex was pray a silent prayer that the Board would sit fit to keep Genesis in Prison. No other human should have to endure the pain and torture he went through with the man.
No such man should still exist on this face of the Planet.
"God…if you can see fit to keep him locked away in that Hell Hole…for another ten to fifteen years or more…I will be forever grateful because, I can not or won't want to face the one I love now if I have to face off against him again…"
A tap came at Angeal's car window as the man's attention went to the Parking attendant, "You going to sit in your car or are you going to move? This structure is full and there are others who would gratefully like your spot."
"I'm getting out of my car…just give me a minute," Angeal grumbled as he ran his hands down his face; the attendant leaving him as he flagged the waiting cars on around to keep moving; God give me strength.
Court, a place of justice where the guilty are tried and the innocent are set free and those that should've been presumed guilty are set free due to lack of evidence at it may be to try the person for the crime or crimes. Whatever the case may be, but then there are the times when trials at Courthouses are held are to see if whether or not a person that has served their time. And is getting time off for good behavior on Parole, today was one of those days and each step up each of the simple steps into the Court House, the security check and walking up the stairs towards the building where the Parole Hearing was going to happen. Each footstep towards the room was Hell on Earth for the man and it began to become hotter and hotter as he passed by Genesis' family; it was hard to not look a single one of them in the eye after the hard parting that had come between them after Genesis had been locked away.
"Well, well, if it isn't the stray the dog that got away," a sneering tone came from the passing family as Angeal tried to keep his eyes forward and away from them, "Come to open old wounds just to get new ones?"
A prod went to the one young man that was talking, into his ribs, "Hush. Angeal…I'm sorry that you had to come here for this, I know how bad a falling out you both had and I know its hard for you to be here," the young woman who was seemingly, Genesis' Mother bowed at the waist, "Please, Genesis has turned over a new leaf since being put away…please give him another chance."
Angeal sighed as he closed his eyes, "I would give him another chance at our relationship, but…I have moved on. And so should he."
"Ladies and Gentlemen, the Hearing is about to proceed," the Bailiff walked out to address those for the Hearing, "Please take your seats."
Sounds of a death march was playing in Angeal's ears as he walked into the room; the Parole Hearing got under way without problems, Genesis didn't look Angeal's way at least once in the entire hearing, but when the Judge called Angeal up to ask whether or not this man should be released.
It was there.
It was then.
That Genesis chose the moment to look at Angeal; a look of utter evil from his smirk plastered on his face from the glint of evil in his eyes, a look of want and desire for Angeal was still there, but Angeal had a look of utter sickness on his face. Angeal was called to the stand as he was given the oath to swear the truth and nothing but the truth as he began being questioned about Genesis. The questions dated back to as far as when the two men began to see one another till the point when Angeal pointed the accusations of abuse and near statutory rape against the man. Even to the point that Angeal had to fight back crying on the stand; it got worse as the man asked the question that would make or break the man's parole.
"Do you think that that man," the man pointed towards Genesis, "deserves to be let out into the general public to attempt to be an individual like everyone else?"
Angeal looked at Genesis then to Genesis' family then his mind thought and looked to Zack, that crazy little teenager that was sitting on a sofa in the apartment, watching horror films, but that dream was snapped out by the man's fingers, "Mr. Hewley? Do you or do you not think this man deserves to be among the general public?"
"…As much as I feared him when we were together, from the testimony and words I have heard spoken about how he has changed…I guess…"Angeal closed his eyes as he silently whispered to himself, Sorry Pup…I'm so sorry…; "He can be allowed another chance out among the public."
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Cheers went up from Genesis' brother as the boy wrapped his arms around Genesis' frame as his Mother wiped away tears of joy as she mouthed words of 'Thank You' to Angeal as Angeal was dismissed from the seat. The judge ordered that Genesis was to check in with his Parole Officer on a usual basis and must at best; still maintain a distance from Angeal. With this, Genesis agreed to all that the Judge had to say as he watched Angeal heading out from the Court house towards his car, but Angeal didn't make it far before the man fell to his knees. Dry heaving the breakfast from that morning shared with tears of horror as he kept his head down, crying and sobbing while he dry heaved more and more. It left Angeal unawares of Genesis' appearance behind the man until he felt the man's hand upon his back which made the man jump in shock.
"Get your hands off me!" Angeal screamed through the sob in his throat, "Don't you ever touch me!"
Genesis stared at the man with worry, true and complete worry in his face for the man, "Angeal…I promise I won't harm you, I was just merely seeing if you were alright…Can't I do that like we use to when we use to be friends?"
"…Sorry, I'm just not use to…"
"Not use to your ex being so friendly and not so irrational like he use to be against you? Is that it?" Genesis questioned the man as he brushed the man's suit down and helped him to his feet, "Angeal, can you ever forgive me for what I did to you?"
"…It's hard to say 'Yes' with the history we've had…"Angeal shrugged out of the grasp, "I have to be getting back…my boyfriend will begin to worry if I'm not home before nightfall…"
Genesis simply chuckled, "Well, then I should not keep you, but…" the man's face became that same devious smirk, but it was hidden behind good will charm, "Would you mind going out for one last coffee at our favorite place before we depart like this?"
If Angeal could have an inner alter ego to warn him that something was wrong and that he should at least just brush him off and offer to do it another time; it would've helped what happened next. Angeal agreed to the man's proposal as he walked Genesis to his car, the two men headed downtown for a cup of coffee; it seemed safe enough. Or at least that's what it seemed like; none too short after the two men had sat down and ordered their coffee's and had taken their first sips.
Angeal started to doze off at the table, "W-What…What…What is happening to me?" the man's words began to slur as the world began to spin about him, but all that he could see was Genesis making his way towards him, "Genesis…is this your…"
"I'm sorry, Angeal, but I can't let us end like this. You're mine forever. No one is going to take you from me, and just to make sure of that," Genesis set down on the table, the money needed for the bill, exact change and helped the man to his feet and to the car, "…I'm going to do what I should've done all that time ago…and this time, you're not going to be able to leave me."
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Everything was throbbing, but the only thing that was throbbing was Angeal's head; the only time he ever had such headaches was whenever Zack would push the man to his limits. Then there was the occasional times that when the man didn't get enough of the rest he needed, the headaches would come on, but the throbbing he was feeling was not simply pinned to his head. As the man began to move about, his eyes slowly opening; he felt a sharp twinge in not one, but both wrists. The clink of metal alerted him and slowly aroused the man out of the haze that had fallen over his subconscious and slowly conscious mind. Fear was the first thing that told him something was wrong and then, it turned to pure, unadulterated fear as the sound of a dark chuckle turned the man's head, painfully towards the sounds. The fear only grew as his eyes started to widen at the sight of the owner of the dark chuckle; the utter sight of the eyes he had seen a possibly sane man in moments ago. Fear widened his own field of vision as he heard the voice.
"…Glad to see you're awake now, my dear sweet Angel…Angela…"Genesis' dark chuckles turned into a dark purr as the man sauntered up to the bedside, placing his fingers softly against Angeal's face, "Don't worry…I'm going to take god care of you…"
Angeal's eyes turned to utter fright as he watched the man's fingers tracing against his face, but his eyes were leering down towards his chest and every other contour of the man's body. A growl of his own was starting to slip up from Angeal's lips, but he couldn't give the man a shadow of the doubt that there was a possibility that he was turned on by the man's hands. Genesis was a sick enough man to take any motion or action Angeal made or said to be a gesture for the man to continue.
"…Why are you doing this, Genesis…? We're over and I made that clear with having you put away for attempting to kill me because I was breaking it off with you…I swear to you, when I get out of here…"Angeal stopped in midsentence as he heard Genesis darkly chuckle as he had before, but his hands were squeezing against Angeal's already sore wrists, "What's so funny?"
Genesis purred as he nuzzled his nose in against Angeal's locks in which he saw the man flinch away, "You silly…do you honestly think I'd let you go, now that I've got you back into my life…and to make sure that you stay with me…" the man's fingernails turned on Angeal's arms as they dragged down the man's arms and his teeth began to graze at Angeal's neck, "I'm going to properly mark you as mine. That stupid little boy of yours that I know you're with because I can smell someone else on you and you know how I hate double crossing, cheating little bastards."
"Son of a…"Angeal winced as he fought off a moan gurgling in his throat; he had enjoyed the times when Genesis would leave his marks on him, but at the moment; it was being done out of spite, "S-Stop it…This is exactly why I left you…you always hurt me out of spite of it all…"
"…I only did those things…and this…"the nails sunk in slightly harder against Angeal's arms as he watched the man's back arch in silent horror and pain, "Because…I didn't want anyone other man's hand, lips, teeth, nails or other parts…on you or in you. You belonged to me once, Angeal…and I'm going to make sure you belong to me, forever."
Angeal's eyes were wide with fear, he knew what Genesis was capable of, but he didn't know how far the man's twisted psyche went; all he knew and could see was the man's hand crushing against his jaw. The force that was thrown into it the backhanding that accompanied the crunch Angeal felt of teeth gnashing together as a resounding smack resounded against the quiet bedroom. Everything from that point on went dark in Angeal's field of view as well as his consciousness, everything seemed to black out in every part of his thoughts and mind.
"I'm sorry that I had to do that, Angeal…but…"Genesis seemed to shakily move forward against Angeal as his nose moved in through the unconscious man's long locks, "…I just can't have you leaving me again…if I let you stay awake for the fun, well…"
A dark chuckle came from Genesis as his gaze turned upon Angeal's chest and then down where his intended attention was going to be, "We'll just have to make due for now…Just lay there and enjoy the fun…You will be mine and only mine."
What happened next, in those hours that occurred next, no one was sure what happened, all that Angeal knew was…he wasn't going to remember any of it…The only thing he would remember would be the marks left on him from the psychotic ex that was enjoying having his fun with the unconscious man.
