EPILOGUE

Sephiroth let the book drop from his fingers and fall to the floor. It stirred the dust that he had been walking through as he read.
Genesis was right.
He was a monster.
He wasn’t a man. He reached for another book off the shelf and started to read what was there. Scribbles from the doctors that had taken care of him … no, none of them had taken ‘care of him’ — they had observed and monitored him.
Seeing Genesis … crumbling had dominated his mind. The words he whispered with such venom and hate. He couldn’t help but respond to him in kind. He saw the hurt in his faded blue eyes, during that brief moment, he didn’t care.
He had hurt him too.
Genesis had left him to be alone, so he could go ahead and rot.
The words blurred on the page and he had to blink back the tears that formed in his eyes, and he shook away the weak emotions.
“Sir.”
He turned around and his breathing stopped at the sound of the soft voice that was so familiar and dear.
~Genesis~
He was standing beside the desk with a small bag and a bottle of juice in his hands. He stood looking at him with bright — not faded — eyes that shone at him. Genesis stood still and looked like he was confused and not his normal, confident self.
Sephiroth closed the book that he held in his hand and held it to his chest. He couldn’t help but examine him and think this was a dream. He did not look ill like he did at the reactor. He looked healthy and well with bright red hair, with his head cocked to the side. His jacket didn’t look worn out or in the need of repair; he looked like he did the day he turned his back to him.
~I miss him so much~
“I brought you something to drink and a sandwich,” Genesis said and held up a bottle and a small bag.
He used to do that all the time back at Shin-Ra. He would show up in his office with some sweet treat and horridly bland coffee, but he would happily sip it and ignore the poetic words that seldom meant anything to him.
~which is where I went wrong~
“Are you all right, sir?” Genesis said and put the bottle and bag down on the only spare spot that was on the desk.
Sephiroth frowned and looked away from the man. There were things that weren’t right about him. He seemed shorter and he never called him ‘sir’. Sephiroth’s head pounded as he tried to connect things. His head and chest hurt from what he discovered from going into the reactor, and from the information he had been stuffing in his head since he locked himself in the basement.
He knew that he should rest and this was a sign of fatigue that he was encountering, but he couldn’t stop reading and he couldn’t stop with Genesis appearing in front of him.
“Sir?”
He gasped as a hand touched his arm and he balked away from the touch, bumping into the bookshelf behind him and dropping the book that was in his hand.
Blue eyes that were larger than he ever remembered were looking at him with concern.
~Genesis was never concerned about me~
“I am not a monster,” Sephiroth hissed and reached out, his hands going around the man’s throat. He had called him a monster and he may be right, but Genesis was no less of one than he.
He heard the drink go crashing to the floor as he bumped the desk, it was most certainly bland coffee anyway, spilling onto the dust and papers that scattered the floor. He focused on that for a moment despite the struggling man that was at the end of his arms. He could feel hands grabbing at his arms and the sounds of Genesis gasping for air.
Sephiroth was starting to feel satisfaction in hurting a man that had hurt him.
~he’s supposed to be rotting~
He looked over to view the beauty of Genesis struggling against his grip. He had always loved how the man looked when he was demanding something, when he wanted more touching, more attention, more of anything. The thought of Genesis being under his hand and unable to breathe was satisfying, and he raised his eyes to see the struggling man that was clawing at the arms of his leather jacket.
He looked on with a smug smile at the man, but was startled at the face that peered back at him.
He let go of what he was holding and took a step back as he reassessed what was happening.
It was not Genesis that had brought him a drink and something to eat. It was not Genesis with a bruise already forming on his throat and taking in large gasps of air. It was not Genesis’ cheeks that were coloured a bright red while the rest of his skin looked pasty white. It was not Genesis that was backing away with a shaking hand resting against his chest. It was not Genesis, but Zack’s young boy-toy.
Cloud gasped loudly as he struggled to remain on his own two feet and gather breaths in large gulps.
Cloud’s blue eyes were nothing like Genesis’; they were not jaded or cold, but innocent and afraid.
~how could I even think he was anything like Genesis?~
He didn’t say anything as he watched the young man walk backwards for a few staggered steps before he ran out of the room.   Heavy and clumsy footsteps were heard leaving the basement and running away from him.
~I scared him~
He chuckled at that thought.
It hurt to laugh. The pain in his chest that seemed to be growing as the days grew longer was being aggravated by the laughter that wanted to burst forward. The heaviness that had settled in his chest became a burning pain. He continued to chuckle as he picked up the book from the floor.
~monsters don’t deserve anything but pain~
He opened the book and found the spot where he had left off before he was interrupted in his search for understanding.

Zack was nearly asleep when he heard the scramble of frantic footsteps enter the room. He hurriedly sat up in the bed and saw Cloud enter the room, gasping and sobbing as he ran over to him. He was startled as Cloud threw himself into his arms without worrying about the other man that was in the room.
“Cloud?” he whispered. He didn’t want to wake the other trooper in the room, but from the increased intensity of his sobs, he didn’t think that was possible.
His first thought was that someone in the town found out who he was, but he highly doubted Cloud would have let it get to him this badly. He may not have been a well-liked kid, but Cloud wasn’t weak like that anymore. A couple childhood bullies wouldn’t get the best of him.
He let Cloud sob into his chest. He held him tightly against him and ran his hands over his back and neck, hoping to soothe the tears and shaking.   But curiosity got the better of him, and so he forced Cloud to lift himself off his chest, and he looked into Cloud’s tear-stained face.
“What happene…” Zack’s eyes narrowed as he saw the bruise on Cloud’s neck that looked very distinctly like it was made by large fingers. He ran his hand over the bruise and got a hiss from Cloud.
“What happened?” he asked as he examined the bruise that was already a deep purple.
“He called me Genesis,” Cloud said with a raspy breath.
“Sephiroth,” Zack whispered and felt his chest tighten at the thought. He had been the one to send Cloud down there to make sure that Sephiroth had something to drink and eat. He didn’t think that Sephiroth would hurt him, or least of all confuse him with Genesis.
He knew meeting him at the reactor was hard on him. He could see how it caused Sephiroth a lot of pain seeing the broken Genesis talking about a lot of stuff that didn’t make much sense, but it seemed to make sense to Sephiroth.
~But there was no excuse for hurting Cloud~
“I’ll deal with him,” Zack said and knew that his voice sounded hard. Sephiroth had no right to do this. He thought that he was coming around and then he pulled this shit, he was not going to tolerate him losing it and beating up his boyfriend.
“No!” Cloud yelled and grabbed him. He buried his face into Zack’s chest and Zack couldn’t help but hold him close to him again. He wanted nothing more than to protect him from this whole thing. This mission was quickly turning into a painful reminder of Cloud’s past and it hurt Zack to see him like this. “I don’t want you to go down there.”
Zack frowned and rubbed Cloud’s back as he started to sob again. His throat must have been hurting because the sobs sounded like it was painful.
“I can’t let him think that it is okay to hurt you,” Zack said as he felt anger rise. Sephiroth had no right to lay his hand on anyone. They already had to leave one man down at the bottom of a valley and he wasn’t going to lose anyone else.
~especially Cloud~
“He thought I was Genesis,” Cloud whispered and wiped the tears off his face with the back of one of his hands. Cloud looked like he was trying his best to gain his composure back. “I don’t want to go down there.”   Cloud’s hands were on his shirt and it was like he had a death grip on him. Zack could read between the lines, though.
~he doesn’t want me to leave him~Zack drew him close to his chest again and allowed Cloud to calm down. He would deal with Sephiroth as soon as Cloud was calm enough. He would beat some sense into the bastard if that is what it took.

Reno was going to kill who was knocking at his door. He just got back from a hell of a mission, was sore and tired and he wanted nothing more than to sleep. He hated that Zack and Cloud were both on the same mission without him, and he was not used to sleeping in a bed without one of the two SOLDIERs.
The pounding continued.
“I’m comin’, ya asshat!” he yelled as he stormed in his bare feet. Stomping didn’t work quite as efficiently when he had bare feet and carpet, but at least it made him feel better to stomp to the door.
He opened it and was ready to yell at the inconsiderate bastard, but stopped when he saw Tseng standing at his door with a large bottle of what looked to be like rye.
“Can I come in?”
“Of course, Bossman. What’s up?” He was a little startled by the ruffled appearance of Tseng. He wasn’t wearing a tie and his hair was loose, not slicked back like normal. It also smelled as though Tseng already had a few drinks out of the bottle before he arrived at his door.
~something is seriously wrong~
"Let’s have a drink first.”

Er, I never promised that the ending was going to be happy.
Well, that is it for this story. Sixty fricken chapters later and I hope you enjoyed it despite the horribly sad ending. Thank you all for reading, reviewing and just putting up with the long, long story.
I will continue to write and may even go with shorter sequels for this if I feel so compelled but as you all know, I have so many plot bunnies in my head it may have to wait awhile.
Love you all, I hope you still love me.
Laters. Hope you still enjoyed the story and will continue to enjoy my other writing.
