#first class idiots

Sephiroth is likely reading, soaking in the bathtub, or maybe both. He prefers quiet activities to help lower his stress levels.

Angeal is probably watering and/or talking to his tiny array of plant-babies he has scattered about his apartment. He's totally making cooing noises at them.

Genesis is definitely lounging about moping and sulking in the most overdramatic positions possible, incredibly bored and looking for some action. Sitting around doing nothing is like a Greek tragedy in his eyes.

There are too many. So here's one.

Angeal had coupons for free mini golf. And the man is so frugal that he is NOT missing out on free shit.

It's hooky time. Three imposing, scary soldiers shuffling about a literal children's mini golf course, surrounded by increasingly colorful and abstract images of dolphins, dinosaurs, giant squids, rainbows, and off-model unicorns.

Genesis is, of course, completely cocky and INSISTING that he can get a hole in one every time. He smugly makes a big grand display on his first hole and immediately hits it halfway across the facility, landing it squarely in the moat. Angeal doesn't do much better, hitting several poles and denting several models. This quickly devolves into an argument between Genesis and Angeal, which further escalates into a full fledged competition between them, screaming and squabbling at each other while fighting for superiority over a children's game.

Sephiroth (who hit the hole in one without even being noticed by the others), gets bored within seconds after his first try. He wanders off to retrieve Genesis and Angeal's various fly balls before eventually tiring of that and going to find the snack bar. He plops in the shade and passively tosses them a thumbs up every time they manage to hit the ball in a way that doesn't involve clubbing someone on accident.

The first losers reacting to their s/o kissing their cheek for the first time <3

(i actually thought of "the first losers reacting to making their crush blush" but ange would blush too, gen would make some flirty comment and sephiroth would go 😐)

Angeal starts stumbling and rubbing the back of his head like a big oaf, only to lean closer and reciprocate the gesture. He's a big sweetheart, and yeah he's stammering all over the place, but he's being extremely earnest right now.

Genesis IMMEDIATELY sees this as an invitation for naughtier physical activities and has to be shoved away with a broom. Stop that! Buddy's gotta learn what innocent affection looks like. Maybe his s/o should buy him a manual.

Sephiroth is valedictorian material. He studies rigidly and always skips lunch to be in the library. He's often completely exhausted trying to be absolutely perfect in all his classes.

Angeal is a good student, and is very diligent when it comes to studying and keeping up with his assignments. He isn't as crazy about it as Sephiroth is, but does his best and is mildly successful overall.

Genesis flip flops between going through nuclear levels of study and schoolwork to try to get a higher gpa/grade than Sephiroth, but then also ragequits halfway through the semester to just focus on theater club.

Sephiroth is stronger and degradation catches up. Genesis and Angeal sit in the lifestream and watch Sephiroth, heartbroken over the loss of his dear friends. "Maybe you were right" Genesis ponders. "Maybe beating the living shit out of him wouldn't have made him fall in love with me."

The next day some infanty guy not good enough to be a SOLDIER beats Sephiroth's ass (after fatigue, hunger, hallucinations and fight with Zack wears him down enough) and he's instantly obsessed. Instantly in love

The amount of "I told you so" Angeal has to hear daily as he simmers in the lifestream is ungodly.

He also has to watch the entire

A happy and casual affair until Genesis begins to lose. Which quickly devolves into a lot of kicking, screaming, and hey look the swords are out.

Zack considers that maybe Monopoly would have been better. Angeal sardonically points to the massive wall-crater that resulted from the last time they made such attempts.

It's certainly Genesis' favorite hobby. He gets a kick out of tugging Sephiroth around like a dog on a leash, pointing to whatever random, possibly dangerous escapade he sees in their near future.

Angeal thankfully has more respect for Sephiroth's personal boundaries and doesn't try. And besides, little intimate gestures like that really are a reservation for Sephiroth and Genesis alone. He respects that those two have their own private interactions.

Angeal: Through the Fire and Flames by Dragonforce. Because that guitar is everything! And he definitely pretends to be playing whenever he's by himself. What a dork.

Genesis: Mr. Brightside by The Killers has him belting every single time. He's also partial to Lana Del Rey. Or showtunes. The man loves variety and has no shame.

Sephiroth: Blackbird by the Beatles. No particular reason. It's soothing. He also is rather fond of Lord Huron as well. Something soft and kinda gloomy, but cathartic to listen to.
