Chapter Eight
Pink Pajamas
"Why don't you date, Sienna?"
The cord on the guitar broke and Sienna pulled her hand away from the strings. She and the trio were all sitting around the firs in her backyard, the night peaceful and cool as she had played the music. Angeal had been the one to ask the question. Genesis had been sitting there, just listening to the music as Sephiroth wrote away at the notebook in his lap. She looked at Angeal in surprise.
"What?"
"Well, you're the first woman to be accepted into SOLDIER, and not that bad looking at all. You'd think that you'd answer one of your fan-mails and agree to a date."
"Fan-mail?" she titled her head to the side. "What are you talking about, Angeal?"
The man pushed himself into a better position and looked at her in shock. "You mean you don't know that you've got a posse of men and women that worship the ground that you walk on since you were given the title of 1st Class?"
"Apparently not." She answered him, still confused. "In fact, I don't think that I've ever received a letter before, especially not one like that. I wonder why."
"Oh, I think I know why." Angeal shot Genesis a sharp look. The redhead gave a small cough to clear his throat; neither of them noticed Sephiroth's light blush and look on guilt.
"What about you guys?" Sienna asked. "Any…dating for you?"
Angeal shook his head. "Nah, not yet. The only woman that I can put up with at this moment in time is you, Sienna, and that's enough for me."
She shot him a look. "I don't know if I should take that as a compliment or an insult."
"Take your pick." Angeal grinned. He was rubbing his shin moments later with a pained face.
"Genesis?"
The redhead turned to find the smile on the woman's face. He glanced away. "I have found one perfect for me, but I have yet to announce it to her…"
"Oh? What's her name?" Angeal asked with a teasing smile.
Genesis glared at him. "I'd rather not say."
"That's not fair."
"Life's not fair."
Sienna was laughing as she fixed her guitar string. She glanced at the third man of the group as he tossed a few more pieces of wood in the fire. "What about you, Sephiroth?" She gave a grin. "Don't you date?
Sephiroth gave a small smirk. "Love doesn't appeal to me."
"Really? The great Sephiroth doesn't like women?" Angeal asked with a snicker.
Sephiroth glared at him. "I don't like either, Angeal."
Sienna gave a laugh. "The three of you are going to kill me."
"Aww, don't say that!" Angeal moved closer and placed an arm around her shoulders. "None of us would be able to live without you Sienna! So don't even think about leaving us!"
Sienna gave a smile and nodded her head. "No time soon. The same goes for the three of you, too! You leave me and I'll chase you down to the pits of hell and back."
"You have no need to worry on my part, Sienna." Angeal assured her.
"Leaving has not crossed my mind once." Genesis told her.
Sephiroth locked eyes with her for a moment. "Where else would I go?"
Understanding the comment, the woman gave a smile. It brightened her smile.
"Well, now that we've gotten this under control," Angeal began with a smile. "I propose that we all stay here tonight. Sienna's manor needs a little more life tonight."
Sienna gave a snort. ~I'm glad that they invite themselves.~
"Sienna! Sienna, we gotta go. Sienna! Up! Up! Up! Up!"
"Shut up!" The woman hissed her eyes burning in the light.
"Sienna," Angeal leaned over her face with a hug smile on his face. "Get up! It's time for the mission! C'mon! Let's go!"
Rolling over to face her clock, Sienna began to grumble at the man she had let stay in her house last night. "It's 5 in the morning, Angeal," She groaned. "I still have three hours to sleep before even thinking about getting up!" Sienna tried to pull her blanket over her head but Angeal pulled it off.
"Nah-ah-ah," He waggled a finger. "You gotta get up! Genesis and Sephiroth are waiting for us in the training room! Let's go!"
"Are you crazy?" She demanded, shielding her eyes from the light. "The three of you keep me up until 2 and then expect me to get up and train with you at 5? I don't think so!" She rolled over, pulling a pillow over her head. "You'll have to carry me there!"
Angeal snickered and at that moment she knew that she was officially screwed.
Pink Pajamas, Sienna?"
Sienna no sat cross-legged on the floor to the Lvl. 49 Training Room, arms crossed, teeth grinding, and an anger mark beginning to grow as the three men around her all stared and the woman in pink.
"Yes, Sephiroth, pink." She growled, eyes narrowed as she stared at her 22-year-old partner. "I am a woman, you know. I can wear the color pink. Not all of my clothes are black and silver."
"I like that color on you," Genesis gave her a smile as he shut his book, brushing his hair from his face. You should wear it more often." He told her as he stripped his red jacket from his shoulders and held it out to her.
Angeal continued to laugh at her as she stood to her feet. "Thank you, Genesis. At least one of you is a gentlemen." She replied as she took his jacket and zipped it up over her pajamas. Damn. If only she had worn socks to bed last night. Sienna then turned and slapped the still laughing Angeal upside the head. "Shut up, you!" She then cracked her knuckles. "I might normally take it easy on you during training but not today, little man! Today I'm going all out on you like Genesis does to Sephiroth!"
Angeal smirked. "About time! Let's just see who's stronger; me or you!"
"Now, now," Genesis took a step forward. "You know that's not what we're here for. We need to practice our compatibility with eachother for this mission we have together, remember? So let's do that."
"Fun-crusher." Angeal hissed.
Sienna snorted with laughter for a moment before she nodded. "All right. Then what do you suggest, Genesis?"
The redhead gave a grin.
The training was done soon and Sienna had had enough time to return home and change out of her Pajamas and give Genesis his jacket back. Their mission as lame, being just destroying monsters, and the group returned only hours later. Sephiroth and Angeal went off to gather dinner, leaving Genesis and Sienna in the manor. The two of them were sitting in the living room on the couch, talking about the LOVELESS showing they were going to attend. At least, that was what they had been talking about.
"Sienna…" Genesis began, staring over as her paintings on the wall. "Last night, we didn't ask you for your answer."
"My answer?" She tilted her head to the side. "To what?"
"If you have…someone special."
Sienna stared at him for a moment before a smile spread across her lips. "You're all special to me, Genesis. You and Angeal and Sephiroth. I wouldn't know what to do without any of you."
"Is that right…" He paused for a moment. "I spoke the truth last night when I said that I had found someone perfect for me. I just don't know how to tell her…" He glanced at her. "It is difficult…"
"Oh, you just think too much, Genesis." Sienna told him. "Just come out and tell her. I'm sure that she'll appreciate it. Ho would be crazy enough not to want someone like you?"
"You really think that?" Genesis asked her, turning to stare at her.
"Of course." Genesis moved quickly, grabbing Sienna's hand. He gave it a tight squeeze before pulling the top of it to his lips and placing a soft kiss on it. "Genesis, what are you…"
"Sienna, my words were true," He repeated himself. "The woman I was talking about, the one that I believe to be perfect for me," His lips were close to her ear now, his warmth breath giving her a tingle through her body as a small shiver passed down her back. She could hear her heart pounding in her ears. "Was you, Sienna."
Things were slow for a moment until the front door opened and Angeal called into the house, announcing that he and Sephiroth had returned.
"Hey! You two better get here fast before Sephiroth and I eat it by ourselves."
And with that, Genesis was gone to join the other two, leaving the stunned woman lost for words on the couch.
Please Review! I like to know what you all think :)
