He's so done with them (He wants to join)

I kept forgetting to post this

[getvalentined]

Any chance I could get an invite to the sephisis community you run? I mostly just wanna lurk, and if you sent me an invite from liking that one post of yours a week ago or so I managed to loose track of the notification.

I think I did, but you're not listed in the pending members, so I've sent another one! ♥ Lurkers are more than welcome.

[up-sideand-down]

Genesis and Sephiroth for number 24?

"Gods Damn it all!" Sephiroth swore. He nearly fell trying to let go of Genesis. Genesis winced as Sephiroth stepped on his foot again.

"You were close," Genesis said.

"No I wasn't," Sephiroth snapped, "and...sorry."

"My foot is fine," Genesis replied, "doing better than your pride it seems. We should take a break." Genesis sat on the steps up to the band stage, patting the spot next to him. Sephiroth said, still fuming.

"I can't do this," he said, "I'm sorry the dancing lessons were moot, but I'm done."

"You have to do this," Genesis reminded him, "it's the president's gala."

"I can't," Sephiroth said, "I can't be someone I'm not." His eyes looked faraway.

"It was one thing to pretend to be the person in the posters," Sephiroth said, "I can stand tall, stare, hold a sword at a right angle. I can actually be a commander...but I'm not him."

"You can pretend to be," Genesis said.

"No," Sephiroth said, "I don't want to pretend. It was hard enough for the hour photo shoot. I don't want to spend party after party pretending I'm some confident, commanding man." His voice broke at the last word. Sephiroth swallowed thickly.

"I want to be alone," Sephiroth said, "or with you. I want out of the spotlight. I want to be me for once. I just want to be me." The last of it came out as a whisper.

Genesis's heart broke. He remembered Sephiroth was more than a year younger than himself. He'd never once had a change to be himself...unless it was around him or Angeal.

Genesis couldn't let himself be another person to force Sephiroth into someone he wasn't.

"Then you don't," Genesis said. He stood. He held out his hands and Sephiroth took them. He rose when Genesis pulled him.

"You deny each potential dance as they come," Genesis said, "you smile and shake your head and direct them to some other dashing gentleman just dying to dance with them." They were walking on the dance floor.

"But what if I can't say no?" Sephiroth said. He didn't seem to notice when Genesis started leading them in the dance they had been practicing. Sephiroth knew the steps, just not the full rhythm.

Sephiroth followed though.

"There's always a no," Genesis said, "Or at least a maybe. A drink, a chat. They're not always dances."

"I'm not good at talking either," Sephiroth said. He completed the turn they'd been trying for the past 20 minutes perfectly under Genesis's guidance.

"Then listen," Genesis said, "the world needs more listeners. Nod or shake your head, make small noises if you can't think of words. Mmm-hmm, hmmm, oh, humph."

"That's all it takes?" Sephiroth asked.

"For some people," Genesis said, "you fake it until you make it." They got through the second turn without a hitch. One more and then it was just repeat the whole thing until the song was over.

"What if I fail?" Sephiroth said, "what if...what if I can't even do that."

"You tango on," Genesis said, "just keep going, pretend it didn't happen. It goes further than it should, acting like everything is fine." They stopped at the third turn.

"You just danced with me," Genesis said, "I think you can handle this." Sephiroth blinked. Genesis started leading them again. Sephiroth followed again.

"And if everything else fails you find me," Genesis said, "because you're really not half bad as a dance partner." He paused and leaned up to press a kiss on Sephiroth's lips. Sephiroth just stared, looking shocked.

"And we tango on," Genesis said.

"I thought this was a waltz?" Sephiroth said much more softly.

"Does it matter?"

"Not really."

"Then tango-waltz on," Genesis said.

And Sephiroth did.

[up-sideand-down]

Sephesis AU in which Genesis never became SOLDIER and works as an actor instead. One night Sephiroth goes to the theatre merely out of curiosity and develops a strong interest in the main character of LOVELESS, played by Genesis. He finds himself so mesmerised by the redhead's acting, after that he never misses his performances... the way he finally decides to approach him is up to you.

Oooh Gen would be a great actor. 

Sephiroth never really knew what to do with himself when he had free time. He heard some of his fellow SOLDIERs talking about a play in Sector 8 that was pretty good. Sephiroth hadn’t much liked performing arts in the past, but it sounded better than sitting in his quarters doing nothing again. 

Genesis spent a long time in the chorus, long enough that he almost quit. Then he got his dream role in “Loveless”...he was an understudy. Over time, however, the audience began stating they liked the understudy better than the main actor. Genesis slipped his way into the spotlight more and more often. One of those nights he performed, there was a young SOLDIER first in the audience.  

Sephiroth enjoyed his night out more than he anticipated. A lot more. He went again, but he went very prepared. He wrote a letter stating how much he enjoyed Genesis’s performance...he even bought a flower for a gil. It wasn’t a rose, sure, but one gil was pretty cheap for flowers

Sephiroth went once more and met Angeal. Angeal stated that one of his good friends from his hometown was playing the lead tonight. Angeal insisted Sephiroth sit by him during the performance. Genesis caught sight of his old friend while on stage...as well as the cute boy in uniform sitting next to him, quoting his lines. 

Angeal dragged Sephiroth backstage with him. Genesis was of course happy to see his old friend, and acted nice to Sephiroth. Sephiroth stated in no uncertain terms that he loved the show, but otherwise was quiet. Genesis decided he must be shy. By the time Angeal left, however, Genesis and Sephiroth were getting...rather engrossed in each other.
