Ready for a fight. Mun, room please.

[iam_sephiroth]

I want to spar with someone worthy. Not some inferior dullard who can't wield a sword to save their life. Mun, why do you look at me like that? I am a SOLDIER warrior. The best, in fact. I think I deserve some sparring partners. It's been far too long and I wouldn't want to get rust on Masamune. That will not do.

So, bring it on.

[Azure eyes watched Sephiroth soar through the air, eyebrows lifting slowly as he felt his heartbeat quicken. With Masamune so close, he took a huge risk that he would never take if this were not a spar with his friends. With a morbid curiosity to see what the angel would do, Genesis opened his arms to Sephiroth, knowing this would either end with the best embrace that the redhead could ever ask for, or the most bloody. He left it up to Sephiroth to choose his preference: a hug from the mighty Sephiroth or Masamune's kiss.

The redhead never could do anything small. Thank the gods for Cure and materia. Either way, Genesis would take great pleasure in it.]

[chephren]

"Sephiroth... all the way... Genesis has a total boner for him."

[Zack blushed as he felt Angeal's presence so close to him as well. The fact that he had just said 'boner' to Angeal didn't escape him either. Angeal was the one who gave him a boner...]

"Sorry I said 'boner.'" [He shuffled his feet nervously.]

[iam_sephiroth]

[Sephiroth saw Genesis holding his arms away from his body in a submissive pose. He wanted Sephiroth to hit him? He smirked. So bold. He came full force towards Genesis with Masamune held at full height. If Genesis didn't move, the blade would pierce right through his heart. He hurtled towards the red head only stopping a fraction before his beating heart. The tip of his blade only millimeteres away from piercing his shirt.]

No one needs to die today. Hmph. [He sheathed Masamune and smirked at Genesis.]

[protect_your_honor]

Zack really.

[Seriously with the three of them, he wondered if he had grey hairs already. It wouldn’t be a surprise if he did, especially with the stress they caused on a everyday basis. He gave Zack a stern glare, but still kept his hand on the younger mans shoulder.]

If the two of you are going to still continue fighting, can you at least not end up killing each other?

[chephren]

[Genesis couldn't decide whether to smirk or to pout.]

You would miss me when I'm gone, is that it, Angel?

[He lowered his sword arm, allowing his lady Rapier to rest.]

Shame. Not that I am still breathing of course, but it was the dramatic ending I was looking for. Will you not come here and embrace me to make up for it? I will stand down, Angeal, if my angel will accept my... hug. [He sighed rather dreamily.]

[chephren]

...See?

[Zack's shoulder relaxed under his teacher's touch, his point about boners also being illustrated here and now in more than just Genesis... unfortunately. He hoped Angeal wouldn't notice or loudmouth redhead over there...

His eyes shifted to Sephiroth nervously, hoping he could count on the discretion the Silver General had always showed.]

[iam_sephiroth]

[Sephiroth smiled and couldn't resist. So what if it were in front of the others. A harmless embrace was an honourable show of affection after two warriors sparring. Only Genesis could take it THAT way.] You fought well, Genesis.

[He accepted the embrace as he wrapped both arms around the red head and hugged him tightly.]

[protect_your_honor]

You both fought well.

[Angeal smiled it was nice to see them be affectionate like this. Sometimes they didn’t see each other for a while when on missions. He turned back to Zack and gave him a affectionate look]

I’m sorry you didn’t get much practice puppy. Maybe next time you can have a go, if you like.

[chephren]

[Genesis would have uttered something appreciative of his comrades' skill as well but he had been struck speechless by Sephiroth's body touching his.]

I... [was all he could manage. So much for the perfect poetic epilogue verse he'd been looking for...]

[Turning his lips into Sephiroth's neck, Genesis hugged his angel back, silently inhaling the man's scent with a shiver, quite content.]

[chephren]

[Zack blushed under Angeal's gaze, his skin coming alive with goosebumps.]

OhAngealIwouldtotallylovethat!!Whatareyoudoingrightnow?Wannawalktothenextthingwithme?

[Arousal not quite forgotten, Zack's mouth ran away with him, again.]

[iam_sephiroth]

[Sephiroth smiled as he felt Gen close to him. He knew the red head was putting on a show and went along with it. After hours, well that was another story.]

We should have another sparring session soon. Don't you think? [He broke away from Genesis and focused the question too all three of them. The puppy included.]

Did you learn much today, Zack?

[protect_your_honor]

[Angeal smiled at the other two First’s behaviour. He found it quite amusing and sweet to see them together. He turned back to Zack]

Zack breathe. Well once I’ve treated my arm, you can decide on what we do ok?

[He gaze went back to his friends]

What are the two of you doing now?

[chephren]

I would be honored to stand against all of you again. A true test of skill. For now though... I think... I need a shower.

[He did not want to show that he clearly didn't want to leave the party (or Sephiroth's company in particular) but the shower statement was a very true one. He had broken a sweat today and Genesis could not bear to remain... sweaty... for very long without bathing, even as a SOLDIER.]

Would you all care to meet to dine together with me tonight in the mess hall?

[chephren]

Ehm... [Zack said thoughtfully as he subconsciously shuffled a bit closer to Angeal, literally bouncing from the inclusion in Sephiroth's invitation. When what he had learned came to mind, he stated it clearly, rather proud of himself.]

...Don't mess with Sephiroth?

[That earned him a special look from Genesis but the redhead didn't argue the point, still glowing from the hug.]

[iam_sephiroth]

Of course. I'd be delighted to attend. [He gave a nod to Genesis. He needed a shower too. He hated being sweaty and had to keep his hair clean.] I also need a shower and a rest.

[He shot Gen a knowing look after he mentioned a shower.]

[protect_your_honor]

That would be a wise thing to do Zack. [He smiled amused at the puppy’s reaction. He turned to Genesis and gave Zack a push to give him the idea that he needed a shower and to get changed.]

That sounds like a good idea Genesis. We will meet you in the mess hall as soon as I get the puppy cleaned up.

[chephren]

[Genesis caught the meaning of Sephiroth's glance and he blushed deeply. They would again be in the locker room together and he saw his opportunity...to pounce and he had better seize it. His shyness only overcame him where Sephiroth was concerned. In battle and when the silver haired man was not around, it was easy to be smug and dramatic. On a more personal level, oftentimes, Sephiroth's very eyes made him quiver.]

Yes, see you then, Angeal... Puppy.

[Turning to Sephiroth, he asked,] Shall we... Angel?

[chephren]

[With a small, thrilled gasp, Zack began to speed up again in excited and nervous anticipation.]

...and...andneverattackGenesisfrombehind!! [He glowed under Angeal's attention, with no awareness of how smitten he looked, just wanting to earn more of his mentor's favor.]

[...He wanted desperately to ask if Angeal would actually really clean him up himself with those big... strong hands... Somehow though, he wasn't sure that the dark man's mind worked that way, him being so noble and honorable and all... It would give him something to fantasize about anyway...]

[iam_sephiroth]

Of course. [He smiled curtly at Gen's offer and began to walk towards the exit of the VR room. He looked to Angeal then to Zack before smirking. He knew what Genesis had in mind in the shower room...]

Until we meet again.

[protect_your_honor]

[With his arm on Zacks back to keep him moving he pushed Zack out of the door before Genesis did something stupid. Well that had gone well he thought, nobody had been killed at least and he was majorly proud of his puppy. Not many people would fight in a battle with three First’s and not be intimidated by them. My his puppy was turning into a fine young man]

Come on then puppy. You did really well today, but your going to be cleaned up before you eat with us.

[Just as he left the room he gave Genesis and Sephiroth a nod to show his appreciation for the practice and that he would meet them soon in the mess hall. As he too headed for the showers]
