Caution! Warning! Threat!

At first, Cloud thought he would get another bully, but instead he got a friend! A friend! As in F-R-I-E-N-D! The only friend he ever got was Zack Fair, but he moved away a few years ago, saying that he and his parent were going to live with his cousin's family. Zack was the second person in the world who knew about his gift when he had seen through his Alice-in-Wonderland-disguise at first glance during a Halloween party.

It made him happy to know that he was accepted by someone, even if it was only his female side that was accepted, it still didn't changed the fact that he had a friend! Spending hours in his disguise and another hour and half of its side-effect didn't seem that horrible anymore. In fact, he was looking forward to meet Genesis in his female disguise again.

'I'm home!' he shouted happily as he practically bounced into his home without noticing the rare surprised look on his brother, who had opened the door for him.

'What in Gaia's name did you ate?' Sephiroth demanded seriously, worrying about what Cloud might have taken to escape reality.

Cloud instantly stopped when he heard the seriousness in his brother's voice which he usually used whenever he changed jobs (Sephiroth had graduated university ten years ago, when he was only sixteen-year-old, and now he kept switching jobs monthly whenever he found a job that had a higher pay or his bosses ticked him off) or when he had the urge to decapitate someone, namely Cloud's bullies. The blond had a hard time to not call him "Mother Hen", because he was most definitely one who didn't like others to mention it!

Gaia! Why is Seph so easy to read whenever things are pointing my way and not when it was pointing his? The younger of the two boys thought as he turned around to face his brother.

'Look Seph. I did not take any illegal drugs or drank a 450 ml bottle of coughing drop. I just made a new friend today, that's all,' the blond told his brother calmingly, carefully smoothing down the agitated Mother-Hen.

Oh, he did not know that he had practically punched the emergency alarm button in Sephiroth's mind.

'A friend?' Sephiroth repeated, cocking his head to a side.

Cloud rolled his eyes as he replied, 'Yes, a friend, Seph. He is quite... interesting...'

'Your friend is a male?' his brother questioned.

'Yeah, a guy. What's the problem?' Cloud stared at Sephiroth with a scowl, feeling annoyed by the way his brother was studying him as if he had some kind of mutant power or something extremely unusual. No scratch that! He was probably thinking along the lines of him being pregnant!

'From previous experiences, most of the boys would rather beat you or kill you than become your friend. I am simply surprised by the fact that a boy would want to befriend you, that's all,' stated Sephiroth.

'Well... he knows me in more gentleman way,' Cloud muttered sheepishly, hoping that his little innocent act wouldn't cause more harm than good.

A silver eyebrow rose in suspicion. 'Don't tell me that you have attracted your friend with your female side.'

Cloud stared at his brother in anger and disbelieved. 'I did not seduce him if that's what you are implying Sephiroth Strife! I just apologized for accidentally hit him twice, he forgave me and we just kind of went out and had some tea together afterward. That's all! Got it?'

The short blond jabbed his finger three times on his brother's chest before he left for his room. He knew that he was acting like a girl, throwing a fit and all, but he didn't care anymore, because anger was boiling hotly in his veins. SERIOUSLY! HOW COULD HIS OWN BROTHER THINK HE WOULD STOOP SO LOW JUST TO HAVE A FRIEND!

After slamming his room's door shut, he threw his schoolbag near his table and flopped onto his bed, hissing like an angry cat. Sometimes, Cloud wondered if it had something to do with the genetics on his mother's side, because he found that he and Seph acted very much cat-like whenever they got emotional.

Yeah and cats can't change their sex like frogs and get pregnant. Cloud thought angrily as he curled up like a small kitten and fell fast asleep. Dreaming of a certain charming young redhead, not knowing that at the very same moment, the man in his dream was also thinking about him.

Genesis half-listened to what Angeal was saying as he stared outside from the window of his room, wondering what the young lady he had met was doing. He smiled at the memory of the shy girl when they spoke at the cafeteria.

For a timid-looking girl, she seemed rather unfazed by the intense jealous glares from his stalkers, he was pretty much expecting her to feel uncomfortable by the gazes, but she proved to be a little tougher than she looked.

Every rose has its own thorns... Genesis thought absently as he imagined how soft those rosy lips of the beautiful blond girl would be when he would kiss her. Skye had simply a beauty of its own level, unique, special. He had never seen a girl as beautiful as she was. She also had that innocent curiosity when she talked with him, almost like a kitten that hadn't seen a ball before and tried to figure out how to play with it.

'Genesis!' Angeal shouted loud enough to snap him out of his reveries.

The redhead shot an irritated glare at his friend who stared back at him sternly as he said, 'You aren't paying attention to anything I said so I shout.'

'Now that you have my entire attention focus on you, what is it that you want me to hear?' Genesis said through clenched teeth, angry at his friend for interrupting his little tiny fantasy.

'Well then, consider what I'm about to tell you a warning, a threat, an advice or what-so-whatever you think. Don't. Even. Think. About. Going. After. The. Person. You. Are. Thinking. Right. Now,' Angeal spoke his last words in a lightly harsh tone.

Am I that obvious? Genesis silently thought as he acted nonchalantly and replied, 'I don't know what you are talking about.'

'Genesis, I am really warning you that if this is another one of your stupid conquests and not a serious pursuit. I will do whatever it takes to stop you,' Angeal warned before he turned his attention back to his notes and books.

'Angeal. I am serious about this,' Genesis said in one breath, causing Angeal to raise an eyebrow in suspicion as he looked up and stared into his eyes sternly. 'Ok, maybe I am still considering, but she... she just makes me want to be with her, she attracts me in many ways. She doesn't see as Genesis the most popular and richest guy at school, she sees me only as Genesis Rhapsodos. And I am simply crazy about her!'

His childhood friend stared at him in shock, probably because he didn't expect him to confess that he was, physically and mentally, ready to have a solid and serious relationship with someone.

After a moment, Angeal sighed heavily before he said, 'Look Genesis. As your friend, I really hope that this girl you got your eyes on would be the one who you could give your heart to and that she could do the same to you, I really do, but I have to remind you that she might have heard of your history and she might hesitate to be in a relationship with you or she will only accept a simple friendship from you.

'Also you do know that there would be rumours when your... fans caught wind of your relationship with your love interest... Your parents will probably throw their own hell of a reaction when they know that you are committing yourself to a "commoner" as they so delicately put it when they first met me. As long that you are happy and you don't go and break another heart, then I am happy for you too.'

Genesis had slightly grimaced at the mention of the word "commoner". That's what he hated of his parents, social classes. He didn't care much about which classes the people he met came from as long that they are capable and not annoying, but his parents had to rub it on his face every now and then to remind that he is the sole heir who would inherit the family's name and fortune one day, so he had to act all pure blue blood and all. Like he gave a damn to the fame of his family's name!

I swore to the Goddess that no one, not even those two old fools, are going to change my mind to be with Skye Strife. Genesis thought as he simply nodded in understanding of Angeal's warning.
