Snow day: chapter 10

.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x

Walking into their apartment Sephiroth growled in irritation already feeling the puddle appearing under him. He was drenched head to toe his shirt sticking to him like a second skin and completely see through.

They had just arrived back at Shinra from Tseng's and the rain had not lent up. Honestly if it was his choice he would have just stayed there with his father and big brother, but they had to come back to work and he didn't want to wake up that early just to come back to Shinra to get his uniform and then head down to his office and work on the piles of paperwork he was sure was waiting for him.

"UGH!" Genesis moved in beside him his fiery auburn hair a dull brown as it was sodden and waterlogged and lay limply against his face. "I need a shower!" peeling off his shirt he froze as he realized there was someone else in their apartment that wasn't supposed to be.

"Sephiroth…"

Sephiroth had his eyes on the Turk that was currently standing in the middle of their shared living room with a young man with a video camera and another young woman who was shifting nervously next to the camera man.

"Rude, what is going on? Why the hell are these people in our apartment?" Genesis pulled his shirt back on even though he had a wife beater on under it. Angeal appeared behind them along with Zack and Cloud both of them looked completely different as their gravity defying hair was plastered to their head. Was amazing how long Cloud's hair really was when it wasn't standing straight up.

Rude shifted nervously, his hand absently going to his tie. "Forgive me General, Vice President Shinra ordered that they be allowed to film you.. we just arrived. Did not know that you were not here do not worry they have had no time to look around."

Sephiroth growled he did NOT want to do this! He really hated those Shinra bastards, Lazard was about the only one he could stand.

"I do not want them here.." He growled and moved around them heading for his room. He was cold, he was wet and he was emotionally drained after everything this week.

"Please, we promise not to get in.." Sephiroth glared at them hard, his mako eyes frozen over. "You are not welcome in my home." Turning he moved into his room slamming the door. Pushing waterlogged bangs from his face Genesis moved over to Sephiroth's door and silently moved in gently closing it behind him.

"Don't mind him, Sephiroth has always been a very privet person, he feels that this is an invasion of his privacy." Angeal said softly, he did feel sorry for these people as they were just hired to do this, they did not deserve Sephiroth's wrath.

"I do have to apologize, we're all very tired and as you can see.."

"We're fucking drowned rats!" Zack laughed and headed off towards his own room, all the while rubbing a hand over his hair sending water everywhere. "Zackary.." Angeal growled, not wanting to go through and clean up after the boy as he got water everywhere.

Laughing Zack moved off into his room gently shutting the door behind him. Cloud looked at the two before silently moving off himself to his own room to get in a warm shower and get dressed, though he wasn't tired so he would come back out and turn on a movie. It was late but it wasn't that late yet, he was used to going to bed around 2 am and getting up at 9, one perk to being a 1st he could sleep in.

Angeal sighed and turned back to the two people and Rude. "What were you supposed to do tonight?"

The young woman shifted nervously, she was actually a member of all their fan clubs but was trying to stay professional as she was standing in her idols very apartment. "We were instructed to get basic interviews today and then follow you around tomorrow, I was instructed that you all had the day off tomorrow for this."

Angeal nodded at this and looked around. "I'll talk to the two boys, I'm sure they will corporate, but I would stay away from Sephiroth as much as possible until we have had a chance to work with him."

The woman nodded she knew the Silver General would warm up to her; she almost never had a man turn her down.

"stay here.. and don't..wander." Angeal sent a look at Rude knowing the man would obey and keep them from snooping around where they weren't welcome.

At least he hoped for their sake that they didn't start wandering, Sephiroth wasn't happy as it was that they were here he didn't know what would happen if they started to snoop around his home.

.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x

Throwing his shirt into dirty hamper Sephiroth stomped over to his bed and threw himself into it not caring that he was naked and still for the most part wet. Pulling his own wet clothes off Genesis dumped them in the hamper and slowly moved over to his lover and laid down beside him pulling the thick blanket up around them.

Leaning over he gently brushed the water heavy hair away from his beautiful face and laid a gentle kiss on his cheek.

Not getting a reaction he rolled his eyes and grabbed a hold of Sephiroth's shoulder and forced him onto his back. Bright green eyes blinked up at him sliding back into focus, "Gen? what are you doing here?"

Smirking seeing his lover had gone space cadet on him again like he used to when they first met he leaned over kissing him deeply. "What does it look like I'm doing?" he whispered against his lips. He felt those beautiful lips smile against his.

Sephiroth knew what Genesis was doing and he couldn't be more grateful that his little hellion was doing this. Shaking his head just slightly he wound his arms around his love pulling the slightly smaller man down and kissed him hungrily.

A small moan escaped Genesis throat, his fingers threading up into that beautiful silver length that he loved so much. It was as smooth as the finest silk and he loved touching it and playing with it, was a shame he had cut off a good chunk of it but he would live.

Pulling back for much needed air he smiled seeing those passion hazed green eyes looking back up at him. Leaning up he gently kissed the rain wet forehead his fingers brushing those long bangs back behind an elegant ear.

"I love you Seph."

Blinking Sephiroth looked up seeing those beautiful blue eyes and couldn't help but smile hearing those three words he loved the most.

"I love you too Gen."

"You know I love it when you say it." Grinning impishly Genesis threaded his fingers into the back of Sephiroth hair and pulled on it hard forcing the man's head back. Instantly those mako green eyes darkened with lust, his breath hitching in his chest. "But I prefer it when you are screaming my name." Genesis purred his fingers tightening their hold. He felt more then heard the dark growl emanating from his lovers chest.

"mm, you should know better than to growl at me kitsune." Feeling another growl starting to build he crushed his lips to Sephiroth's effectively silencing him.

Releasing one of his hands from those beautiful silver strands the fingers slowly started to ghost down Sephiroth's body, he could feel the skin goose bumping under the feather light touch. It always amazed him exactly how responsive this man was, the great Silver General a man everyone dreamed about, only he and one other would ever know this side of him. He smirked against the lips before breaking them, a small noise of protest left his lover.

"Hush."

"are you stealing my words.. AH!" Genesis smirked feeling that beautiful body arching up against his, chuckling he licked that sensitive spot once more at the junction of his neck and shoulder. That spot was a direct line to Sephiroth's lower half and that spot alone can bring the man to his peak and over.

Panting hard Sephiroth's eyes were glazed over in lust their dark light glowing in the dim greenish light cast by the giant Mako reactor at the edge of the town. "Damn it Gen, you know what that does to me."

Tilting his head to the side allowing his drying auburn hair to fall across his eyes he smirked darkly, his own lust filled eyes looking over that beautiful man under him. Continuing his trek down his lovers body his fingers brushed over the hard long length of his lover.

"Mm, I can see." He felt that whole body shiver under him a loud moan leaving his throat. Shivering Genesis felt his own body become hard to the point it was breaching on painful, never was he so grateful for the sound proofing of all the bedrooms that they had insisted upon when they were building the apartments, those damn nosy people out in his living room wouldn't hear the sweet sounds his kitsune made.

"Gen.. don't tease."

"but, I like to tease." Kissing that sensitive flesh of that beautiful ivory neck he allowed his fingers to trail down along his jewels and came to rest at his heat. He could feel and hear Sephiroth's increased breathing, "mm, is there something you want?" he loved hearing this man beg.

Releasing that sweet neck he looked up into those beautiful green eyes that were highly unfocused as they always were during heightened pleasure, a slight flush painted his cheeks a light pink.

"hmm..is there?" he pressed in on that puckered flesh just slightly earning him a deep moan. "God Gen.. I want you!"

Smirking more Genesis captured his lips once more in a bruising kiss, his finger moving up into that sweet wet heat.

He loved this man so much.

.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x

Angeal smiled softly from his seat on the chair in front of the TV. The rooms might have been soundproofed but with the mako enhanced hearing he could still hear the slight sounds coming from Sephiroth's room. Thankfully the two that were standing on the other side of him wouldn't be able to hear it.

Sephiroth and Genesis relationship was a pretty well kept secret inside Shinra, the only ones that knew were SOLDIER and the Turks and they all kept quiet about the relationship. Though Genesis and Cloud would be out thanks to Genesis teasing his fan club yesterday over their phone.

Stretching slightly Angeal smiled hearing Zack whopping over on the couch, both he and Cloud were playing one of their fighting games neither of them paying any mind to the camera and the woman that was watching them.

"Oh yeah who's the man!"

Zack stood up and started to do a little dance in front of the couch. Groaned Cloud leaned back and kicked Zack right in the ass. "Shut up and sit your ass back down Fair." Laughing Zack leapt back onto the couch settling back down, he was once more in his light blue chocobo sleep pants and a dark blue T-shirt. The one thing Angeal had talked to them about was making sure that while the camera's were there that they kept covered and that the camera's were not allowed in the rooms. The room part was mainly for their own safety as this would be broad casted and there were people out there that would love to just see the General dead.

"Hey Angeal?" Cloud turned slightly on the couch so he could look back at the larger man. "hmm?" Angeal looked up from his latest flora magazine that had been waiting for him when they arrived home that morning.

"Did mom give you those recipes?"

Zack hit the pause button, his blue eyes now trained on them. "Mmm, yeah she did. Just before we left she caught me when you were up stairs and gave me a huge stack of them."

"Do you mind if I look through them? I want to see what mom gave you."

Nodding Angeal stood up and headed for his own apartment, they were in one of his bags that had yet to be unpacked from their trip.

"I can't wait!" Zack cried out happily going back to the game, "That was some of the best food I have had in my life, even better then my own parents!"

Smiling Cloud started mashing buttons on his controller careful on keeping his strength under control so he didn't bust it like he did his last one. Each one of them had their own controller, though Sephiroth's and Genesis were reinforced against their increased strength. Angeal had good control over his and was very aware of exactly how strong he was, the other two tended to forget and were the biggest ones to break things in the house.

"Do you play games often?" the young woman asked, she was sitting one of the dining chairs that had been brought into living room for her. Just like with everything else in the house the chairs were all claimed by someone and it wouldn't be wise to take either Sephiroth's or Genesis' chairs.

"All the time!" Zack had his tongue stuck out as he was mashing the attack button, Cloud was currently kicking his ass and there was no way he was going to allow that.

"It's a nice outlet on nights where we aren't allowed into the VR rooms or are too lazy to go down there." Cloud smirked watching the huge 'KO' flash across Zack's screen. "Genesis and Zack are the biggest gamers of the bunch." Stretching he set the controller down done for the night, he wasn't as big into the games as Zack was and could only play for a few rounds before he lost interest. "Zack why don't you throw on a movie..I'll go see if I can pull the two out of the apartment to come watch with us."

Turning off the system Zack looked back at him as Angeal came back out holding the stack of recipe papers. "And exactly how do you plan on doing that?"

Smirking darkly Cloud rifled through the papers already recognizing the order they were in and knew exactly where the recipe was. "Oh.. just some chemical warfare." He waived a piece of paper and headed into the kitchen. This was the one thing he knew how to cook since he used to help his mom all the time with this.

Curious to what Cloud was doing Zack leapt over the couch and moved into the large kitchen watching him pull out various ingredients. Looking over the piece of paper he had pulled out Zack's smile broadened if that was possible and started to laugh. "Oh he'll come out for this."

"What is it?" the young girl asked having followed them into the kitchen, the whole time the camera was rolling. Grinning Zack wagged a finger in front of the camera, "that is out little secret, your just gonna have to wait and find out for yourself."

Moving in around them Angeal smiled seeing what Cloud was doing and set about helping, the boy was as bad as Genesis when it came to cooking. Both could set fire to water, don't ask him how they had managed to do that, but they had.

"Thanks Angeal." Cloud knew he would probably end up burning these if Angeal didn't help.

.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x

Genesis didn't know how long he had been lying there his arms wrapped around his lover holding him tightly to his chest just staring out at the night sky over Midgar. Cloud's playful words had been playing over and over again in his head since they had left Tseng's apartment. He knew that Cloud had just been joking around when he said to be 'nice to his father in law' but those words had struck a cord in him.

Sitting up slightly he looked down at the slumbering man beside him, long silver hair lay across an angelic face, the normal signs of stress that covered the face were gone, relaxed by sleep and a good fuck. Sephiroth was a truly beautiful man, with a personality to match.

He still needed work with his social skills and the ability to deal with people outside of Shinra, but the man truly had a heart of gold especially around children. Leaning down he chuckled softly laying a soft kiss on Sephiroth's forehead absently brushing his finger through that beautiful silver hair.

He truly did love this man, he could honestly not see his life without this man in it. Kissing his cheek he wrapped his arms around him tighter, he would never give his man up. When he discovered he was gay he never imagined he would find someone to spend the rest of his life with, and never did he expect to find the perfect man in the legendary silver general.

Feeling muscles shifting, he smiled softly seeing brilliant green eyes blinking open and turning towards him. "Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you." Smiling softly Sephiroth rolled onto his back nuzzling into Genesis chest. "I wasn't really asleep..just listening to your heart." Glancing up he blinked slightly seeing the look in Genesis's eyes. "What?"

Shaking his head slightly Genesis leaned down and gently kissed those bruised lips. "Just thinking, that's all."

"You know that is a dangerous thing."

Rolling his eyes Genesis gently smacked Sephiroth's cheek, "Smart ass." Kissing him once more he sat up instantly a smell assaulting his nose. 'uh oh..Chemical warfare…' he chuckled softly seeing his lover had also caught the scent wafting in from the joint kitchen.

Instantly those mako green eyes widened, he could only imagine that the man was starting to salivate. Cookies.. snickerdoodle by the scent and that was a low cheap trick, hearing the door to the living room open the smell became that much stronger.

"Sephiroth…. Look what we made."

Oh they were really playing dirty…

.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x.x

Pulling the last batch from the oven Angeal smiled as Cloud was piling them onto a plate, this plate would be Sephiroth's alone while the rest would be theirs.

"Cookies?" the young woman asked now confused beyond all reason, were they seriously making cookies? And this would be what drew Sephiroth out of his room.

Taking a plate Cloud moved over towards Sephiroth's door and gently opened it holding the cookies just inside the door, Zack had followed him with a small Wutai fan and was blowing the smell into the room. He was also there to grab the plate for what they all knew was coming next.

Sure enough it was only a few moments later when Zack was grabbing the plate and leaping back as a black and silver blur shot out of the room and slammed into Cloud sending them both somersaulting backwards across the ground.

Landing in a heap Cloud found himself with a very wide awake General sitting on his stomach, mako green eyes searching for the cookies he had smelt. "Alright Strife, where are they!" Cloud had to keep himself from laughing as Sephiroth much like a puppy knowing there was a treat nearby was lifting up Cloud's arms and even lifting up his shirt looking for his favorite cookies that he could smell.

"Are you looking for these?" Zack held the plate up calling Sephiroth's attention to him. Instantly the head shot up and those cat like eyes were narrowed on the plate in his hand. "Zackary, you will relinquish the sugary goodness in your hand..or you will not by walking tomorrow."

Laughing Zack moved over to the couch and set the plate down on the small coffee table. Almost instantly that silver blur was off and across the room leaping over the back of the couch and landed heavily on the leather cushions. Never once did he pay the camera any attention as he happily started munching on the cookies sitting on the coffee table. Moving out in his normal red flannel pants and a white T-shirt Genesis knelt down next to the laughing Cloud and shook his head. "That was a dirty trick Cloud.."

"Worked didn't it." Pushing himself up Cloud pushed his still wet hair from his face. It always amazed him seeing Cloud when his hair was wet, truly soaked through and no longer standing on end like it always did.

"That it did, I hope you have a lot made." Genesis gently brushed those blond locks aside seeing those beautiful blue eyes he also loved dearly.

Cloud, well Cloud was a surprise to them both. Genesis could remember sitting with the other 1st as they over saw the newest candidates for the SOLDIER program, and what a sorry looking bunch they were.

One had seemed to stick out, but not in a good way. Such a tiny little boy with bright spiky blond hair was struggling with the over sized buster jr. sword.

*flashback*

Sitting back against that hard chair he was forced to sit in for the past hour. He really hated this every few months he and the other 1st all three of them, would sit down with Lazard, and Heidegger and observe the newest recruits for the SOLDIER cadet program to see if there were any that stuck out instantly. Normally there wasn't and it was a giant waste of time, the last cadet that had stood out enough to catch any of their attention was Zackary who was currently a 2nd and out on a mission.

No this was just as much a sorry looking bunch as the rest had been, SOLDIER was a very hard program to get into and every one and their brother thought they could make it and become the next Silver General. They could be the most skilled swordsman in the world, but if they could not handle the mako injections all that skill would mean jack shit. That is normally where most fell out, it was rare to find someone that could handle the injections.

That is what happened with one of his dear friends. Sliding his eyes to the side Genesis looked over at said man, Tseng the director of the Turks had originally been in the SOLDIER cadet program. He had high scores all through the training and had been top in his class with the highest chance of becoming a powerful SOLDIER, but he had failed the mako injection. His body as they had discovered with most native to Wutai reacted badly to mako, the base injection to simply test if they could handle mako had sent the man into the high levels of mako poisoning. He was left comatose in the Shinra hospital for over a month where thankfully he was able to make a full recovery, it was there that he had been recruited by the Turks where his skills allowed him to advance very quickly through their ranks.

Feeling eyes on him Tseng looked over from the side of his little brother and gave a small nod and a very small smile before going back to watching over the new recruits.

Next to him Sephiroth looked like he was about 2 seconds away from crashing, his head bobbed dangerously towards his chest, heavily lidded eyes falling steadily more closed with every passing second. 'Might not have been a good idea to keep him up all night fucking his brains out.' He was tired to, but Sephiroth was prone to bad bouts of insomnia and this past week had been one of them.

"So, is anyone catching your eye?" turning away from his lover Genesis kept the sneer from his face as that fat bastard Heidegger was addressing him. Turning back out to look at the recruits, he couldn't help but be drawn to a very small boy at the back of the group.

Oh what a sorry looking boy, tilting his head slightly to see better around the mass of recruits Genesis took in the small boy. He was tiny, not only in height but in body size with bright blond hair that stood in gravity defying spikes. He was struggling as he tried to wield the much too large buster jr. sword and nearly tipped over with one of the moves as it threw him completely off balance.

"What a sorry looking group, are they accepting anyone into the program now?" he went back to watching the young boy, something about him was keeping his attention he didn't know what though.

"That cadet in the back, with the blond hair.. what's his name?"

The drill instructor that was with them looked back to see which recruit he was speaking of, "That is Cadet Strife."

Sephiroth's head jerked up as he was jerked out of his sleep by Tseng stepping on his foot. Blinking a few times and resisting the urge to rub his eyes Sephiroth looked over to where Genesis was looking but didn't really know what was going on.

"Did someone catch your attention?"

"Mm.. possibly." Genesis turned back to the Drill instructor. "What are his grades and stats like?"

The old drill instructor made a noise in the back of his throat and glared at the young cadet. "His scores in the class room and materia are very high, some of the highest in the class. His physical scores and his swordsmanship scores are appalling, he's very shy and very quiet.. nowhere near SOLIDER material, we're sure he will be dropped at the mako test."

'What a shame.' Genesis thought to himself watching as the young boy did actually fall over as he over balanced. Intelligent and good with materia but his physical skills would be what got him, you had to be strong physically and mentally to become SOLDIER and it was obvious this boy didn't have either.

"Can you call him over Sergeant?" both Genesis and Sephiroth looked over to their friend having been the first time Angeal had spoken all morning. "Do you see something Angeal?" Genesis asked as the Sergeant called out for the cadet.

"I see something, but I would like to speak with the boy."

Hiding a yawn behind his hand Sephiroth nodded knowing Angeal tended to see things in recruits that both he and Genesis tended to miss. He had seen something in his little puppy and now after being carefully mentored by him Zack was flying through the ranks and would be promoted to 1st with in the year, joining not only the ranks of the rare 1st but also as one of the youngest. Only Sephiroth himself would hold the title of youngest to ever make 1stbut Zack was cutting it close.

Sephiroth pulled himself from his thoughts as the tiny blond came running up and snapped a sharp salute. Oh he was really tiny… but looking up into his face the exact same thing crossed both men's mind.

'oh he's beautiful…'

He had huge blue eyes that almost seemed to glow even without mako, they were such a beautiful blue that they just pulled you in.

The boy was shaking slightly obviously being nervous being in the presences of not only the general but the commanders. "Cadet Strife isn't it?" Angeal asked looking over the small boy.

The boy nodded his spiky blond hair bouncing with the movement. "Cloud Strife sir."

"Cloud.." Genesis liked the way the strange name rolled from his tongue, it had a nice flow to it.

"Cloud, you may stand at ease. Tell me why do you wish to be in SOLDIER?" Angeal normally did the question asking if they ever brought a recruit up to find out more.

Cloud dropped his hand and seemed to relax a little more but you could tell he was still nervous. Those beautiful blue eyes kept darting between all three of them though they tended like most to linger a little longer on Sephiroth.

"I..I want to become strong, so I can protect those I care about. I want to be strong just like my idol…" he shifted a nervous glance over to Sephiroth before looking back to Angeal. So just like most, themselves included they had joined to become strong just like Sephiroth, though where most had just wanted to become strong like the man to gain fame and fortune.. This little cadet was looking at protecting those he cared for. That showed a strong heart that cared for those less fortunate, a very rare find in SOLDIER cadets.

"Your Drill Instructor tells me that you have very high scores in materia, have you used it before?" it was rare for cadets to have high materia scores, especially at this stage of training.

" No sir, I have a few materia at home that I found in one of the caves but I never dared to use them." Genesis blinked hearing this and looked over, "Natural materia? Where do you live Cloud?" the boy flushed hearing the Crimson Commander actually speaking to him.

"Nibelheim sir."

"That is the location of the first mako reactor, Nibelheim is known for its natural mako pools." Tseng said softly from his spot next to Sephiroth. Looking over Cloud blushed a really pretty red seeing this beautiful man. The commander and general were beautiful as well, but this man held a different type of beauty to him.

A single silver brow rose seeing the look the little cadet was giving his big brother.

"A natural mako pool means natural materia. Do you know which ones you posses?" Genesis asked already being curios since it was rare to find natural materia anymore in the world. "I don't sir, I know one is a summon and the rest are magic materia but I am unsure which they are. I have not had a chance to examine them since my materia classes."

"You have them with you?" Genesis asked his curiosity starting to get the better of him. Cloud nodded sheepishly, "Yes sir, I didn't dare leave them at home."

Now this he had to see, natural materia was a rare thing in Midgar and he hadn't seen natural materia in many, many years.

"Cadet, come up to VR room 49 after your classes are over, I would like to see what you managed to find."

Cloud snapped a quick salute and ran back to his spot, instantly Genesis noticed the dirty looks the young boy was getting from the other cadets.

*end flashback*

Little did Genesis know that would have been the whole start to their relationship. Hearing Cloud's laughter he smiled pulling himself out of his thoughts and saw the blond moving back into the kitchen. His hair was starting to dry and once more returning to its natural spike, "Of course, you really think we would only make a small batch with that sugar hound in the house?"

Snickering Genesis saw Sephiroth flip them off never once stopping from his munching on the cookies. Pulling out another plate of the hot cookies Cloud moved to the fridge and quickly pulled out everyone's preferred drinks.

Quickly moving into the kitchen Genesis took a couple of the bottles from Cloud before he dropped them. "I got them Cloud, I would say we're turning on a movie then?" the blond nodded and still holding a few bottles headed into the living room. Shaking his head Genesis grabbed the other bottles and a wine glass from the cupboard and followed Cloud into the living room.

Sephiroth was now watching the newest batch of cookies hungrily, though those green eyes kept shifting between the cookies and the energy drink that Cloud was carrying for him.

Laughing Zack stood up from his chair and moved over quickly grabbing the bottles and can from Cloud before he got pounced. Setting his and Cloud's soda down on the coffee table he held out the energy drink, a silver blur shot out across the table grabbing the liquid crack and sat back curled up in his normal position on the couch, his long legs curled up beside him. Pouring himself a glass of his favorite wine Genesis moved over to the couch and took his normal seat behind Sephiroth's legs on the couch after having set Angeal's beer down in front of him. Cloud took his seat on the other side of Genesis and unconsciously laid in against the red head.

Looking over Sephiroth raised a brow and made a grab for Genesis wine glass.

"Sephiroth.. no."

Blinking Sephiroth looked over to Angeal seeing the man glaring at him with a disapproving look over the top of his own beer. Withdrawing his hand Sephiroth pouted clutching to his energy drink, "come on Angeal, I got two months left!"

"That's two months, you can live another two months."

"What kind of bull shit is that? I'm old enough to be a fucking general but I'm not old enough to drink?" he laid back into the corner of the couch in a full blown pout.

"Sephiroth, your getting bitchy again.. drink your caffeine." Zack said hitting play on the video player.

"Bite me Fair." Shrugging Zack stood up and grabbed Sephiroth's arm and bit down before the man could pull his arm away.

Yelping Sephiroth growled at Zack and leapt off the couch pouncing the man. Landing with Sephiroth on his waist Zack playfully glared at the man and tried to throw the smaller man off. Sephiroth might have been smaller but he was stronger then he looked, the man easily pinned Zack to the ground a single hand holding both the younger 1st above his head at the wrists.

"Hey! You told me to bite you so I did!"

"Seph, you should know by now never to say stuff like that to Zack. He will take you up on it." Angeal aid taking a sip of his beer smiling seeing Sephiroth had completely forgotten the cameras were there. It was actually pretty easy to forget they were there since the girl seemed to be in too much shock to do anything more than just stare at them blankly.

"Yeah Seph, you should know better by now!" Zack wiggled trying to get out from under the man that was only a year older than him. Growling Sephiroth leaned down so his mouth was right next to his ear, his long silver hair creating a curtain around them.

Genesis rolled his eyes taking a sip of his wine watching Zack turning the same color as his drink.

"Oh Seph that is fucking nasty! Get off me!" Zack started to thrash and managed to shoved the older man off him and raced over and leapt into Angeal's lap clutching on to him glaring darkly at the silver demon.

"Angeal.. he was saying nasty things!" he whined sounding so much like a little child. Chuckling Angeal set his beer down and patted his pupils head playfully. "There there puppy, you know the big bad general would never harm you.. to much."

Genesis and Cloud burst out laughing from their spot on the couch. "Zack you're such a dipshit." Cloud laughed harder leaning more against Genesis' side.

Still clutching to Angeal Zack stuck his tongue out at Cloud and nuzzled into his mentor. This was so common among them specially when Zack had sugar, and the boy had a lot in his system thanks to the massive candy stores in Tseng's apartment.

Returning to his seat Sephiroth once more wrapped his legs up on the couch with Genesis sitting behind his knees, his feet back behind Cloud's back.

"So from what I understand we have tomorrow off, do you want to go out to the waste tomorrow and find out exactly what summon that is?" he asked his lover.

Genesis raised a brow having completely forgotten about the unknown summon he had picked up in the Shinra manor. "Sounds like a plan to me, think we can bring you know who out with us? I would love to challenge him."

Genesis was very conscious of the camera's and if this was truly going to be aired by Shinra the last thing they needed to do was say Sephiroth's fathers name on camera. Considering the man was supposed to have died 21 years ago and only they and Hojo knew he was still alive it would be a very bad thing if this got out.

Sephiroth tilted his head to the side slightly his long platinum hair falling over his shoulder with the action. "We would have to ditch the camera somehow." He said softly so that only they could hear it.

"It wouldn't be a good thing to have your father filmed, not with his current situation." Angeal added just as quietly.

"That is going to be the fun part." Genesis sent a small glare at the camera over his shoulder.

"Rude, can you come here for a moment?" Sephiroth called out knowing the Turk was still there. There was no way Tseng or Reno would have allowed these people into their apartment without at least one of the higher Turks there.

It was amazing that the smart mouthed lazy SOB that was Reno was Tseng's second in command, he might have been an annoying fuck most the time but even Sephiroth would trust his life to the red head.

Moving from his silent vigilance against the far wall, Rude moved over to the couch and knelt down knowing this was something only for his ears.

Leaning over Sephiroth made sure to bend his head enough so that his hair hid the camera's view.

"Can you contact Tseng and ask if he can get us away from the camera's tomorrow and take us out to the far wastes and bring my father along.. tell him Genesis wishes to spar with him." Rude nodded slightly and stood back up and moved over back to his spot on the wall. Making sure he was far enough away he pulled out his PHS and quickly dialed his director knowing the man was probably still awake, if not he wouldn't mind since it was involving the boys.

Seeming to finally recover from her shock the young woman slowly moved over to them, a little unnerved as 5 sets of glowing eyes instantly turned her way. Three sets with reluctant acceptance, one was wary and the other was downright hostile.

"Can I just ask a few questions and then we'll take our leave till tomorrow."

"Please, we will answer them as best we can." Angeal said sending a pointed look at Sephiroth. Seeing the look Sephiroth stuck his nose up and went back to his cookies.

Moving around till she could get them all in the camera shot she looked over all five of them, they were honestly nothing like she had expected. Well Sephiroth mainly, but that was only when he was aware of her presence otherwise he was nothing like she expected. She would have to be careful about how she put this up on his fan club, she had seen that all five of them were in Genesis fan club and it was easy to assume that they were all a part of Sephiroth's to, and they would know who it was that posted this on the group.

" I guess I should introduce myself, I'm Vanessa, this is James my camera man. Shinra hired us to film you and the other SOLDIER members doing their normal day to day activities to help promote recruitment and the 'softer' side of SOLDIER, we'll be following you until tomorrow night and then we will move off to the lower ranks. We promise not to reveal to personal of details and the video will have to go through I believe a.." she pulled a piece of paper from her pocket and looked at the name. "a Director Teng? Of the Department of Administrative Research, before it is aired."

"Tseng." Sephiroth automatically corrected, people often got Tseng's name wrong as it was not a common one even in Wutai.

"My apologies, Tseng." The woman said and sat down in the chair she had pulled around.

"I promise nothing to personal and it will only be a few and I will be out of your hair." Putting on a fake smile, she turned her attention naturally to the silver beauty that was currently watching the movie.

"Sephiroth."

"General." Sephiroth snapped, he didn't allow strangers to call him by his only name. The woman faltered at this not expecting to get snapped at like this.

"Forgive me General. It's well known that you are a very privet man, are you comfortable sharing your quarters with the other 1st?"

"Oh no, I absolutely hate it." The sarcasm was thick in his voice as he rolled his eyes skyward. Genesis gently smacked his thigh but leaned up against him more pouring himself more wine. "play nice." He whispered his had sneaking behind his back and gently playing with those silver locks knowing that was one of the few ways to calm Sephiroth down.

Sighing softly Sephiroth shifted a little more on the couch and laid his head down on his arms that were folded on the arm of the couch.

"If I minded it, I would still have my original apartment which was just me and they would have their original apartments with the other 1st." he rolled his eyes skyward before closing them showing he was done answering that question.

The girl frowned slightly seeing the general was being a complete dick so turned her attention to the beautiful crimson commander.

"Genesis." She watched a frown cross his features but unlike Sephiroth he did not snap about using his first name. He had been raised better than that and so would play nice for the time being.

"What is it like living in the same apartment with the general of the Shinra army and the other 1st class?"

Genesis raised a elegant brow and looked over to his lover seeing he was trying hard not to be sarcastic again and was biting his tongue.

"It's no different than when we were living with the other cadets when we first started. Just because Sephiroth is the general doesn't mean we treat him differently at home, he's a person just like the rest of us and that's how we treat him."

"Yeah why the hell should we treat him different just because he's got the title 'the general' granted when we're at work we have to treat him as a superior officer but when we're at home he's just one of the guys, just like the rest of us!" Zack was bouncing in his seat but was having a hard time not being nasty to the woman. Just like everyone else she was trying to raise Sephiroth onto this pedestal and make him into a god, he wasn't he was just a normal kid.

Sephiroth sent them both grateful looks, he honestly hated when people did this, always made him feel left out and alienated from the rest of the populace.

Seeing she as now treading on very dangerous waters the girl quickly changed tactics.

"What do you five do when you need to unwind?"

Angeal set his empty beer down and ran a hand through his hair, so much for not being too personal. " I have a garden in one of the empty rooms that I like to tend to, I love plants and it's relaxing to tend to them."

"Yeah unless you're the rest of us and having to deal with the damn bugs it attracts." Genesis grumbled shooting a glare at his friend.

Angeal shrugged his large shoulders obviously not minding the bugs at all. "My dear friend we used to have bugs in our rooms all the time."

"Yeah and I hated it! That's one reason I wanted to move to Midgar.. to get AWAY from the damn bugs."

"Ah.. I big bad Genesis afraid of a little bug?" Zack taunted his voice taking on a sing song quality. Genesis glared at the young first and resisted the urge to flip him off.

"Oh you have no idea Zack, you should have seen him when I was helping Sephiroth with some papers in his office, Genesis was sitting on the couch going over his own. Sephiroth just absently muttered that there was a spider on his desk and we about had a new skylight in the room. I have never seen Genesis move so fast in my life!" Cloud nuzzled into his lover ignoring the bright red of his face and the evil glare being sent in his direction.

The small group was howling with laughter, "I have never heard that one before." Zack was wiping his eyes he was laughing so hard.

"What makes it worse, the spider was about the size of a pin head. I saw it after Sephiroth did and it looked like a piece of black dust crawling across the desk."

"WHAT! You didn't tell me it was that small!" Genesis glared at his two lovers. Sephiroth was laughing so hard he had tears running down his cheeks. "You..You didn't stay in the room long enough for us to tell you." Sephiroth laughed even harder at the dark glare his lover was sending him.

"I hate you all." Genesis sunk down in the couch crossing his arms over his chest his bottom lip thrust out in a pout.

Giggling behind her hand the young woman turned to Zack seeing he had calmed down. "Zack, what is it you do to relax?"

"Him relax?" Cloud snorted, smirking he grabbed the cookie flung at him from across the living room. "Thanks Zack, kept me from having to get up and get it myself."

Zack stuck his tongue out at his best friend and picked up another cookie. "I actually like to work out to relax; I have a hard time sitting still."

The woman nodded and turned to the three on the couch. "Cloud, how about you? A lot of people are curious about the new first."

Cloud's blue eyes darkened a little bit hearing this. "I thought this was supposed to be showing what we did in our off time, not about what we personally like."

The woman faltered slightly at this, Cloud had been able to read her easily. She was using this as an excuse to see them and ask them personal questions.

"Rude, I think it' about time these two leave." Sephiroth's voice was clipped as he glared at the girl and the camera man over his can.

Stepping away from the wall Rude moved in front of the two easily blocking the camera with his large frame. "The General is correct, the hour is late it is time for us to leave."

Swallowing the young girl nodded and made a hasty retreat from the apartment, the camera and Rude steps behind her. "Sephiroth, call him, he wishes to talk to you himself." Understanding what Rude was saying Sephiroth nodded and leaned back on the couch.

"I hope Tseng denies this video, I really do." Cloud said his blue eyes absently watching the stilled video on the TV.

"That would make all of us, I am sure we will see most of this on the fan clubs soon." Angeal had a bitter frown on his face, he had not liked this idea either. Hopefully tomorrow they would be able to dodge the camera all day.

"Zack can you grab the phone." Stretching Zack leapt off his chair and headed over to the wall where the only land line was in the apartment. Pulling the silver phone off the receiver he quickly dialed in Tseng's number knowing that was who Rude was talking about and set it to speaker.

Setting it down on the coffee table they heard the audible click of the other side picking up.

"Tseng." The boys all shared a knowing smile hearing the sleep still hanging heavy in that deep voice.

"Ah.. did we wake you?" Genesis cooed loving to rile up the Turk.

"Genesis..shut the fuck up."

"Love you too darling."

There was soft chuckling from the other end of the phone and you could hear sheet shifting as the man shifted onto his back.

"If you are on speaker then the video crew is gone."

"Tseng, they are a nightmare. It's pretty obvious it's a fan girl that is using this as an excuse to pry personal information from us." Zack said leaning a little forward in his chair.

A sigh was very audible and more shifting, they could all see Tseng laying there pinching the bridge of his nose. It was an unconscious tic the man had when he was thinking.

"I had a feeling that was all this was going to turn out to be. I tried to tell Rufus that, but we all know the young Vice President."

Oh they did, and none of them liked him anymore then they liked the current President. The only difference Sephiroth was high enough in the ranking of Shinra he could tell Rufus to go fuck off personally and he wouldn't be able to do a damn thing about it. He was to valuable to Shinra and they weren't going to do much to piss him off.

"What is this about you five wanting to go out to the wastes tomorrow?"

"Genesis found a unknown summon at Shinra Manor when we were snooping around and he wants to test it out." Sephiroth said swallowing his cookie.

"Is that why you asked for Vincent as well?"

"Well, you said he was a materia master, I want to challenge him see where I stack up against him."

"Genesis, you are way over your head on this one."

The group all blinked and looked at the phone. "He's that good?" Cloud asked.

They could hear light chuckling from the other end of the phone. A second later they heard soft knocking. "Vincent? Sorry, here.."

There was silence on the other end, leaning forward Sephiroth heard very soft breathing. "Dad?"

"Sephiroth."

Sephiroth couldn't help but smile hearing that deep voice he was quickly learning to love. "Sorry we didn't expect Tseng to wake you up."

"hm, I was not asleep."

Genesis rolled his eyes seeing where Sephiroth got his great conversational skills from. "We were wondering if you would come out to the waste lands tomorrow with us, we found a summon in a safe in Shinra mansion and I don't know who it is." Genesis said leaning a little more against Sephiroth.

"Odin"

Blinking Genesis sat up and looked at the phone sitting on the coffee table. "Odin? How do you know without seeing it?"

Vincent chuckled softly, sometimes he did love children. "Odin was mine, he was the summon I had equipped that last day. When I awoke he was missing, Hojo would have taken him since he was a natural materia."

Genesis felt himself deflating hearing that the summon belonged to Vincent.

"You may keep him, he is mastered just like the others."

Blue eyes lit up hearing this, "Are you serious?"

A laughing "yes" came over the phone.

"Oh now I really want to go out there and test him out! Vincent will you come out with us, I want to see just how powerful you really are!"

"Are you sure you can handle your choice in taking me on? I assure you my..limit breaks are something on of themselves."

Genesis pushed auburn hair back behind his ear that old arrogance coming back full power. "It is more like can you handle me and my limit breaks old man."

You could hear Tseng in the background chuckling as his PHS must have been on speaker as well. "This promises to be an entertaining day; I should bring popcorn and beer."

The group sitting around the phone all laughed hearing Tseng, it was amazing how laid back this man was.

"I'll handle the camera crew, be up and ready by 0800 and we will head down to the waste."

"Alright thanks Tseng, night dad."

Sephiroth reached out and shut the phone off and leaned back against the couch. Other then the two idiots in his apartment when they got home, today had been a pretty damn good day.
