Mission (GenesisxReader)
Chapter 1: Duties
You were lying on the sofa of the common room, trying to get some sleep after your last mission, maybe a bed would have been more comfortable, but there were too many people in your bedroom, because, being only a 2nd class SOLDIER, forced you to share your bedroom with at least other six people, you liked them, they were good people to share a bedroom with, but they were so loud sometimes that you couldnât even hear your own thoughts.
Thatâs it, thatâs why you were trying to sleep on the sofa, you were nearly in the land of dreams, when someone yelled suddenly at you
â(Y/N)!â
It was Zack, one of your roommates, who had planted his palms on the back of the sofa you were currently on to lean over and screaming your name with his usual happy voice, but you nearly fell over in fright. Zack just laughed and jumped over the backrest to sit at your side.
âLetting your guard down, (n/n)?â
You readjusted, sitting with your legs crossed and one hand over your mouth to hide your yawn
âWell⌠I should rest sometimes, after all I didnât sleep for the past two nightsâ you murmured, still a bit sleepy
âOw, too bad, I was waiting for youâ he said smirking and in a suggestive tone
âUh? How soâŚ?â you asked, the sleepiness already gone for the curiosity
âNah⌠Iâll leave you to sleep, since you are sooo tiredâ he mocked you while getting up from the sofa, crossing his arms over his chest and closing his eyes.
You frowned and pouted âaw come on!â you whined, planting your hands on the edge of the sofa âpuleeaaseâ you whined again, this time smirking and getting up to poke his cheek.
You started to poke all of his body, by the time you were actually tickling him, he fell to the floor for laughing too hard and you kneeled beside him to continue your little torture session, when you heard a little cough, you lifted your head to look at two men, two 1st class actually.
You got up immediately, trying to perform a salute that turned out strange, since you couldnât seem to regain your composure, while Zack remained on the floor on one side, one leg crossed over the other and the palm of his hand to sustain his head while his elbow was planted on the floor
âHey Angeal!â He smirked, gesturing with his fingers
âThe simulation room is free right nowâ he nodded at him with just an hint of a smirk âdidnât you ask for it?â
Your eyes shined and your smile couldnât be bigger
âWhy did you ask for it so eagerly, anyway?â the other man, one with auburn hair asked, before looking in your direction and frowning, you were hugging Zack, nearly choking him with your strength
âThanks! Thanks! Thanks!â you exclaimed, your smile couldnât be even bigger when he started laughing, pushing you a bit away after having hugged you shortly, you then looked at the two 1st class and started to explain âyou see, Zack promised me he wouldâve take me to train in the simulation roomâ.
You stood up and smiled even larger at the boy beside you, who was also getting up
âwhy didnât you ask directly to us?â The man with auburn hair asked
âCome on, Genesisâ Angeal elbowed slightly the man beside him, receiving a slight growl from him âyou know that the girl is a bit shy around youâ
âItâs not true!â you snapped, making the three men looking at you âI-I mean, itâs not trueâŚâ you repeated in a quieter tone âI know that the room is always occupied by someone of a higher range than mine because they have priority, but Zack was usually there, so I asked him to do me a favorâ you continued, your head low from embarrassment of having shouted before.
âYes! And I granted your wish, so now letâs not waste time anymore!â Zack happily said before grabbing your arm and pulling you along.
The two 1st class watched the raven haired boy dragging you in a jog, until you escaped his grip and started running away while laughing, the boy laughing along and starting chasing you.
Angeal was smirking a bit, until he heard shuffling beside him and saw Genesis starting to walk in the direction you were running just moment before âwhere are you going?â he asked
âTo see the fight, are you coming?â the redhead said, without even turning his head to look at his friend.
  You were running towards your opponent, i.e. Zack, in the simulation room, which, at the moment, was displaying a suggestive and very beautiful seaside landscape. The raven haired boy hoped that it could keep you a bit more calm, knowing your usual behavior during training, but he was so wrong. In fact, if your normal self was usual an happy and sometimes bit shy girl, who got distracted easily, during the battle you were always focused on the target, no matter what, you also had a great strength, your moves almost always flawless, all of this reasons made you one of the best 2nd class, also one of the very few women accepted through the lines of SOLDIERs.
The two first class from before were watching the fight through the screens outside the room, a little smirk pulling at the edge of the redhead lips as you launched yourself at your opponent with a loud scream, your sword clashing hard on the otherâs one
âI know your bet is on herâ Angeal said, breaking the silence, Genesis only turned his head for a moment towards his friend, frowning, before slowly turning again to watch the screens
âWell of courseâ he answered, the echoing of both yours and Zackâs screaming and battle noises the only thing that could be heard for a bit, until he spoke again âIâm starting to think that you shouldâve decide to train her, instead of that puppy of yoursâ
âReally?â the raven haired SOLDIER crossed his arms over his chest and fully turned to look at Genesis âwhy? So you couldâve seen her more often?â he asked in a playful smirk
âwhat is this supposed to mean?â an annoyed look on the SOLDIER with auburn hair as he, also, turned to look in the eyes of the other one âI just think that her fighting abilities are far more superior than the one of your puppyâ
âwhy donât you train her, then?â
âitâs not my areaâ he shrugged
âitâs not your area, uh?â his smirk widening
âno, I do not wish to take the assignment of looking after someone elseâ he rolled his eyes
âthen I will ask Zack instead⌠to be her companion on her next missionâ,  he now fully smiled, turning back to walk away âsee you at dinnerâ he gave an hint of a wave.
Genesis frowned a bit in his direction, until he heard the noise of the door of the room opening, and saw you and Zack walking outside, a bit bruised and definitely breathless, but still lightly laughing, he turned in your direction and smiled to you when he met your eyes, you smiled back briefly, before walking away to accompany the boy that was currently leaning on you to the infirmary.
  âHere they come!â Angeal happily announced when he saw you and Zack approaching their table during dinner, a trail in the hands of both of you, you saw him sitting with Sephiroth and Genesis, waving for you to come sit with them âabout time!â he exclaimed when you were closer, looking between you and Zack âwhat took you so long?â
âWell⌠Zack was beat up, umh⌠really badâ you murmured with an hint of a smirk on your lips, you felt bad for the boy, but you were also proud of your progress
âyeah, but itâs all fine nowâ he rolled his eyes, before almost throwing his trail on the table and sitting beside Angeal, you laughed a bit and proceeded to sit beside the raven haired boy, the other two 1st class on the opposite side of the three of you, you noticed they had finished their meal already, but not too long ago.
âwhy arenât you already a 1st class, I wonderâŚâ Genesis smirked at you
âOh well, itâs not like the ShinRa is a place for sexistâ you sarcastically answered, the other laughing with you a bit âanywayâ you started again, fiddling with your food, while looking intently at it âitâs not like Iâm as good as you allâ
âyou still have a path to follow kid, all will arrive with timeâ Sephiroth smiled at you, you smiled back and started to eat.
The conversation restarted between the rest of them, you only made some comment here and there, meanwhile you noticed Genesis putting away a book in the pocket of his jacket.
âhey (y/n)â said Angeal at some point âfor your next mission-â
âmy next mission?â you pouted a bit â but I just came back!â
âdonât worry, itâs just a routine town checking in Banoraâ
âwell then⌠why donât you send a 3rd class instead?â you rubbed your forehead a bit
Angeal laughed a bit âsorry, ask Lazard instead, you know they come from himâ
You frowned, you didnât want to go to your superior and whining just because you didnât want to do your job. So you sighed and looked up at raven haired 1st class âwhat about my mission, Angeal?â
âI thought you could use some companyâ you couldnât really swear on it, but you thought seeing him flashing a smirk to Genesis, âsoâ he started solemnly âZack, you go with herâ
Zack hugged you excited and smiled joyfully âyay! A mission together, (n/n)!â
You laughed along with him âyes itâs been a while!â
â(n/n)?â asked Genesis, mostly to himself, but you were able to hear him
âyes, itâs the nickname Zack gave meâ you answered, pulling away from the hug
ânow you give each other nicknames?â asked Sephiroth almost scoffing
âno, itâs just him giving me stupid names!â you frowned, a bit embarrassed
âwell, (n/n)â the red haired 1st class almost spat out that little word while standing âIâm sorry to be the âparty pooperâ, but tomorrow youâre coming with meâ he smiled
âand why is that?â asked Sephiroth, with a bit of amusement
âbecauseâ he glared to his silver haired friend, before turning again to you âthe city youâre going tomorrow is my hometown, you know?â
âBanora?â you asked confused
âyes, since I know the place our task will be easierâ he nodded, as if to try and convince more himself of the credibility of his excuse, before heading to his room, you then cleared your throat and headed to Lazardâs office to know the details of your mission after cleaning his and yours trail.
After you were gone the two 1st class started laughing, Angeal louder than Sephirothâs composed laugh, while Zack started to look around, frowning âwhat? What happened?â
  The next morning Genesis was fully ready and waiting for you on the first floor, he huffed, you were late, or was he who came too much early? He huffed again, trying to clear his mind from this useless thoughts and closed his eyes, exhaling deeply
âHey Gen!â his head snapped up and his eyes open at the sound of that voice, he rolled his eyes looking at his raven haired friend walking towards him, he knew exactly why he was there: obviously to tease him.
âso⌠changed your mind?â Angeal smirked standing in front of his friend, his arms crossed over his chest
âI donât know what youâre talking aboutâ he huffed crossing one leg over the other and letting his back fall on the backrest
âOw come on⌠âitâs my hometown so the task will be easierâ?â he scoffed âhow can a simple look around could possibly be easier?â
The other 1st class rolled his eyes again, when he heard footsteps approaching them quickly, he turned his head towards the source of the sound to see that you were running, almost breathless.
You putted your hands on your knees, while arching your back and panting heavily âsorry⌠for⌠the delayâ you managed to say through your heavy breaths
âdonât worryâ said Genesis, standing up âcome, our departing is in a few minutesâ he started to walk away and you straighten your back, smiling and waving to Angeal before following the red haired.
  You sighed and stretched your back getting out of the helicopter âthe air here is sooo freshâ you sighed deeply with a smile and your eyes closed
Genesis reaching you as soon as he also got down from the helicopter, the sword swirling in one hand, while the other was on his hip âI know, right?â he said, looking around almost emotionless, until he was distracted by one of your marveled gasp
âwhat are those?â you asked, running towards some arc like shaped trees, their trunks were white and the petals of their flowers were falling, preparing the trees to bear fruit
The auburn haired man reached you for the second time and smiled at you a bit, before turning his head upwards to look at the rays of sunshine coming through the branches âthese are Banora Whiteâs treesâ he said, looking back at you âbut the villagers call them-â
âdumbapples! Theyâre dumbapples trees!â you exclaimed, cutting him off and looking around you amazed
âyes⌠you know them?â he smiled down at you
You smiled back and answered âOf course! How could I ever not know about dumbapples? I would have zero possibilities to make 1st otherwise!â you looked around yourself a bit more before starting to speak again âbesides⌠I always wanted to try oneâ
You were looking towards the not so distant little village of Banora, the sunlight and the treesâ shadows covering you created an amazing play of light, bringing out all your beautiful features.
Genesis looked at you in admiration, regaining his composure when he realized he was staring âshall we go?â he asked, starting to walk towards the village.
  âHey (y/n)â the 1st class started, striding on the grass, he was too tall for you and the only way to keep his pace was going on a bit jog next to him âIâll let you knowâ he came to an halt in front of a wooden house, you stopped next to him âthat this is also Angealâs hometownâ he nodded towards the house âthis is his homeâ he then smiled at you, before starting to walk again, this time in a calmer pace.
You looked at the house a bit more, before striding to reach him âso thatâs why youâre so bonded with each other, youâre childhood friendsâ you reasoned to yourself in a whisper.
After a while you came to another halt and, from a distance, you could see a playfield where some kids were chasing each other for fun âthis is where we usually playedâ Genesis said, following the children with his gaze.
You nodded and then there was silence between you two before you spoke again âwill you show me other places?â you asked and he grabbed your wrist, dragging you in a little tour of the village.
  You were sitting on the grass, cross legged, while Genesis was behind you, leaning on a tree, you stretched and let your back fall on the ground
âthanks Genesisâ you sighed, looking at him from your position âfor our little tourâ
He winked at you and proceeded to sit down near your head, his legs stretched forward and his back leaned on the tree trunk; he then grabbed a book from his pocket and opened it, to start reading it, you recognized it for being the same book as yesterday âLo⌠vâŚâ you whispered, in an attempt to read the cover
âLovelessâ he read it for you
âinteresting nameâ you murmured rolling on your stomach and planting your elbows on the grass to lift your upper body
âthe content is interesting as wellâ he smirked
âthen what are you waiting for? Read it to meâ you proceeded to rest your chin in your palms, he looked at you for a bit, almost trying to figure you out, before starting to read.
  By the time Genesis finished reading you had closed your eyes and rested your chin on your crossed arms
â(y/n)â he sighed âare you sleeping?â he asked, leaning a bit towards you
âhow could have I?â you smiled opening your eyes to look at him âit was too beautiful to lose even a single bit of itâ
He smiled softly at you and closed his book to rest his right arm on one knee while keeping the other arm and leg stretched, you got up to sit beside him cross-legged
âhow come Angeal and Sephiroth donât like to hear it?â you chuckled softly
âI think Iâve bored them to deathâ he frowned
âwell⌠I like itâ you smiled, before frowning a bit
âwhat happened?â he asked gently
âuh⌠nothing, itâs just that⌠you showed me all Banora, except for your placesâ
âwhat do you mean? I showed you the places where Angeal and I-â
âexactly!â you exclaimed interrupting him âyou didnât show me nothing only yoursâ
He stared at you for a moment, thinking about a proper answer, before scoffing and looking away from you â I donât like my pastâ he stated, while shaking his head
You bit your bottom lip, thinking, then you felt regret and shame, regret for asking such a question and shame for having upset Genesis âIâm sorryâ you murmured, looking down at your lap
âdonât be, you didnât know after allâ he said, his voice emotionless ânow come, we should goâ he said, standing up, you imitated him and you both walked towards the place where your helicopter was waiting for you.
