2/13: A sort of development chapter.

The next day in Midgar I was on Stand-by again. I decided to find these new Clubs Cissnei had told us about. I found three clubs easy. The last two were harder. But after hunting for a good four hours, I got what I wanted.

I looked them over as I sat in a restaurant somewhere in the city. One was a normal club like the ones Angeal, Genesis, Sephiroth and Zack had. The other four…well not so much. Some pervert decided to pretend that I'd be the perfect wife of Genesis… and Angeal.

"Club EveliaXGenesis:

Like Evelia, SOLDIER 1st Class? Like Genesis, our fallen SOLDIER 1st Class? Think they should be together?

Well then this is the place for you!"

I twitched at the thought but there weren't many followers. The Next one was scarier.

"EvieXAngeal shippers (I cringed here)

A club that thinks the two should be together-"

I stopped after that and continued to the other two, which weren't AS scary, but scary nonetheless. Only because Angeal was dead and Genesis… well we never got along for one. I didn't need a reason after that to be creepy out to the fullest extent.

"EvieXSephiroth

Everyone acknowledges that the two Are student and teacher, but sometimes you see more right? (I flushed vibrantly at this remembering that night some months ago)

This is for everyone who thinks that maybe these two shouldn't be just student and teacher.

Because sometimes they have their more than Student and Teacher moments." Then there were points that tried to prove this… and pictures. Lots of pictures of us together.

Some of them surprised me a bit, and made me wonder how they got to them. There was a get together today to discuss and share stories. I raised an eyebrow confused. An email said something about sharing the discussion with everyone afterwards. This Club was fairly large too; apparently it had been around for a while and was growing strong. I shivered at the crazy minds of people.

The last one was the closest thing to normal one, and had by far the most people with over 20,000 people, it also had pictures, and lots of information. The club was thriving wonderfully.

"To the true SOLDIER couple: Evelia and Zack." I stopped right there and nearly choked on my soda. I looked around to see if anyone saw that and fortunately it was too busy for anyone to notice. I glanced around once to see if anyone was watching me before returning to the emails.

There were quick facts about each of us individually. Then there was a list of things we had done together since the club had started. I was surprised at how accurate it was. Then I moved to the pictures, I nearly choked again as I saw pictures of me and him together from the day I was wearing a school uniform. Then us together at Costa del Sol. There were pictures of us fighting side by side. There was one of Zack at the beach with my arm around his waist as we watched the sunset. I stared at this picture for a while. I smiled contently until-

"EVIE!" I snapped my phone close and looked up with wide eyes. It was Zack. He was grinning from ear to ear. He obviously had a good time together with Aerith yesterday. He sat across from me.

"Why are you so happy?" He shrugged little and looked around.

"Isn't this the place I took you to during that one date?" I huffed.

"That was not a date," I said gently.

"Oh?" he asked with a raised eyebrow, then it fell with a cocky grin, "Then what was it?" I opened my mouth to say something then closed it. Then I opened it again.

"I haven't figured that out yet, BUT! It was not a date." I said pointing a finger at him.

"Yes, it was." He grinned, "Admit it, you had fun with me!"

"I refuse." His smiled faded a little.

"Why is it so hard to admit that you enjoy spending time with me?" I looked up and locked eyes with him at the sound of his somewhat serious and hurt tone. I was going to say something when a waitress walked over and left a menu with Zack.

"Can I get you something to drink?" He glanced at me once more, before looking at the menu. She looked at me with a raised eyebrow as she sized me up. I raised my eyebrow back after crossing my arms. Something I had learned from Seph that I knew was a scary and intimidating look. He used it on me personally a few times. He just didn't need to cross his arms for it to be effective. She looked away from me quickly. When she was gone I dropped the look in my eyes and turned back to Zack.

"You alright Zack?"

"I…Yeah." I looked him dead in the eyes.

"Tell me the Truth," he opened his mouth but closed it and looked at the table.

"There's just a lot going on lately. I haven't been feeling like myself."

"You haven't been acting like yourself since Junon." I looked at my phone and sighed. I sent him the emails from the two clubs that scared me. He opened his phones to read them and start laughing hysterically. While it may have been easy to make him laugh at my dispense, it made me happy to see him laugh.

"Do people really think of this stuff?" I nodded and erased the original email for the Sephiroth Club and sent it to him. I had a bad feeling there was going to be some pictures he shouldn't see in that club. He received his drink before getting the last email. He choked on his drink. I nodded.

"Holy Gaia! What the hell?" I nodded solemnly.

"That's what I said." He smiled.

"Thanks," I looked at him with a questionable glance, "For making me laugh." I nodded sweetly. "But since there's one for each of the other…"

"Yes, there's one for me and you." I looked to my phone to see a new Email. It was an anti-Aerith page. I shook my head a bit but forward the email to him. He read through it silently. Then it was silent as he put the phone down.

"You look good in some of those pictures…But I look better!" He grinned and I shook my head kicking his leg. "Ow!" I smirked and called the waitress over.

"I'd like to order now." She smiled falsely and waited for us to order. The night went smoothly as we spent time together again and we departed when he went up to the SOLDIER floor where we resided and I headed for the briefing room to check my status and look for any new missions. There was a few I could do before I headed to bed, which I did. I left some other ones that caught my eye for tomorrow. Walking out of the briefing room I ran into Sephiroth. He didn't seem busy, but it was late.

"Working late, or you couldn't sleep?"

"Neither, I just returned from a mission from the President."

"Ah, and how did that go?"

"Flawlessly, as usual." To keep conversation flowing I followed him to the Mission/Info thing.

"Ah, Mr. Perfect huh?"

"Anything less would be unacceptable."

"Well if you had given them crappy from the start they would expect so much from you all the time."

"Is that how you were as a 3rd class?"

"Yeah, then I remembered why I was there… why I fought so hard for this. So Angeal took me under his wing because I had a dream," I said softly, looking at him to finish the story.

"And Angeal came to me, telling me all about you. I found that I took an interest when you became a 2nd Class so easily. I had taken you under my wing since, correct?" I laughed a bit but nodded.

"So what grabbed your attention?" I asked trying to tease him, "The legs? My round butt? Or how about my goodies? Maybe you like girls with Mako infused eyes?" he looked at me with an amused and tired look. I figured that he'd answer yes to be sarcastic but he was silent, mulling it over I figured.

"Your face was first, When I watched you trained, you always had a determined and focused look on your face. You had something to do and you were willing to do anything for it. It was that determination that caught me. Then yes, it was your butt."My eyes widened and my face fell with surprise. He was silent and seemingly serious until he started to shake with laughter.

"Wait! Were you serious?" he said nothing still laughing. It was odd to see the Silver haired general laugh so heartily. My face flushed, and I realized he had me flustered again.

What is it with these men and taunting and teasing me so much? Why is it so enjoyable to see me flustered? I waited silently and fuming.

"So what kind of man are you Sephiroth?"

"What do you mean, Evelia?" I growled a bit as he walked out of the briefing room, me not to far behind. The SOLDIER floor was quiet and our footsteps echoed against the blue-gray walls. The only sign of life was us and the few plants keeping the floor from looking too mechanical.

"I mean, every guy has a favorite. Like some guys like butts and some guys like boobs, what are you?"

"How about a pretty face?" I cackled at his humor; before stopping abruptly to say, "No." He seemed genuinely surprised when this happened. I tried to hold in my laughter and continue the conversation.

"So it doesn't matter if her butt is as wrinkly as a grandma's ass if she has a pretty face?" Sephiroth shook his head.

"Why am I having this conversation with you Evelia?" I shrugged.

"Once in a while our conversation turn sexual, and slightly personal now answer." We walked until we reached his door and I was still waiting as he opened his door. I was planning on following him inside but he turned to look at me with a smirk.

"How about a women who's overall well-rounded?" I slapped my face.

"WRONG!" My shouted echoed across the floor and I stopped wondering if anyone would wake up. "You're avoiding the question Sephiroth," I whispered to make up for my yell.

"You are not going to leave me alone until I answer properly correct?" I nodded and he walked inside leaving the door open. I followed and saw the time was 23:48.

Sephiroth would be the only one to have a 24-hour clock in the entire building.

I closed the door behind me. I looked around, because the last time I had been there I was determined to find answer and was sorely distracted afterwards. I felt blood rush to my face in embarrassment.

"Ah, it seems you remember your last visit then?" I said nothing.

"Why do you keep flustering me?" he was silent for a moment.

"You want to know the truth?" I stared at him, he seemed willing to tell me surprisingly, but the look in his eyes was that of a tired man.

The only reason he would tell me anything would be to get me out of his hair. "Kind of."

He sat on the couch in front of me. It was a beautiful black. His long silver hair fluttered on it and the contrast between the colors was beautiful. My teacher was one of the most handsome men on Gaia… or so they said in magazines… but I just noticed now. As the moon shined in through a window and he laid down silently against the couch.

I was silent, Sephiroth was different when he was tired… much different. "You are the only woman I have come to interact with everyday, and you do not annoy me. Seeing you flustered is cute... Talking of making you flustered I do believe I owe you something."

"And what is that?"

"Some time ago you said something about making you stop muttering under your breath about how you're going to kill me. I do believe the time is ripe to do so."

"Holy Gaia! No. I didn't mean it I promise! Seph! Come on you know I was just joking right?" I asked getting scared. I was backing up calculating the odds of me getting to the door before Sephiroth. I looked back at Sephiroth to see him smirking in a familiar way. I turned to flee but he was a man more than twice as powerful as me. He caught me by the arms. And in a matter of moments my swords was gone and I lost my items and materia. The materia I had left in my arms from the mission were gone a moment afterwards.

He was too fast for me to watch and soon I was on the floor staring up at Sephiroth his silver hair a curtain around me.

"Now what was that about how you were going to kill me?" I said nothing, in that one minute time frame he had lost much of his armor and clothing. I wasn't sure if it was to give me a chance or if it was for some other reason. I gulped loudly.

"I-uh… was just kidding around! You know me… a prankster and what not…" he bent down close to my ear and whispered lightly. His voice silky and reassuring. I was silent as he challenged me genuinely. I kneed him off of me and jumped up smoothly. He was calm as ever. I groaned to myself thinking how much of an idiot I was, but it was my best chance at getting my answer.

Sometimes I wonder why I'm so desperate to know these things. I should have dropped it the moment I walked in the room. Now I'm never going to get out. I was panting in his kitchen when I chanced a look at the clock to see it was 1:17. I left his kitchen to slam his bedroom door in his face. He didn't have a lock on it and I chanced a run into his bathroom, locking the door in there instead. I sat in his tub thinking…

"I am so doomed…"

"Yes, you are." I gasped as Sephiroth stood in his bathroom over me. He lifted me like a child and slammed me on his bed. I took a deep breath and it smelled delicious; like it was the most amazing thing ever. Then my thoughts ran back to the general who was out to kill me.

"I don't want to die before I turn 16!" I shouted before flipping over and trying to crawl away. Two large hands grabbed at my hips pulling me back easily.

"You won't, Happy early Birthday Evelia." I turned to see what my gift was, hoping with all my heart it was my freedom.

It wasn't. For two days I was trapped with the man. In exchange for my life I had to do whatever he wanted of me. To my unfortune, he was a man of MANY needs. Some that made me laugh, some made me raise an eyebrow and some… well some were things no one should ever find out. I didn't find out what was my present until the last night. He gave me two things. A silver pendant was first, but I didn't get the chance to look at it before I received the other one.

This started out as a little thing I wanted to add in for kicks. I give Evie these situations and she seems to play them out by herself from somewhere in my head. Then it got a little fluffy with Zack. Then it got a little personal with Sephy, and it ended with my inner Sephiroth fangirl. I promised myself "it" wouldn't happen again. But it did. Who hear wouldn't love to see that silver haired man naked and in all his glory. (insert me drooling) it just kind of unfolded like this. It was supposed to be her teasing him and that was it, but it ended up him remembering the words of the past and her getting her ass beat for it.
