In this chapter, Shinra Inc. finally gives Sephiroth his own apartment, and Genesis and Angeal show up for a little housewarming party.

I walked down the hallway of Shinra's largest apartment complexes. This day was incredibly important to me; for the first time in my life, I had a home. I reached the door and entered my apartment. The walls were deep crimson, and the carpet was creamy white. The kitchen counters were black marble, and the living room furniture was white leather. The company, of course, had paid for all of it, and I felt extremely fortunate.

I went to my bedroom, which was furnished with a widescreen TV and an unnecessarily large bed fitted with black satin sheets. I undressed and adorned a more comfortable outfit, a simple black t-shirt and jeans. I still had a fair amount of unpacking, laundry, shopping, and other chores to get done and I wanted to be relaxed. Then I heard my doorbell ring.

I opened the door to find Angeal and Genesis standing there. Angeal was holding a large pizza box and Genesis had two cases of beer. Angeal also had a large bottle of wine.

"Is that…Cabernet?" I asked.

"Housewarming gifts," Genesis smirked. I smiled and let them in.

That was one of the most enjoyable nights of my life. Angeal, Genesis, and I spent most of the night drinking, talking, laughing, and reminiscing. When the beer and pizza were nearly gone, Angeal got up to leave.

"Aw, c'mon…stay a while longer," I complained. "What do you need to go home for anyway?"

Angeal smiled. "Training exercises in the morning for 2nd Class. The company doesn't give you two half the responsibility they give me…probably for the best.." he grinned.

"Nice excuse, party pooper. We haven't even uncorked the wine," said Genesis.

"Oh! The wine! I forgot all about it!" I ran to the kitchen to retrieve the bottle. I opened the bottle and poured a glass for each of us. I drank mine very slowly. I absolutely love wine; its taste is so warm, so sensual. I looked up over my glass, and found my eyes locked with Genesis's piercing blue ones. My cheeks grew hot.

Angeal finished off his glass and said goodbye to us. I then stood up and began clearing the dirty plates and empty beer cans from the room. Genesis started to help. Our hands brushed slightly as we reached for the same glass. It sent a jolt through my whole body, startling me, and I drunkenly stumbled. Genesis caught my back with one arm and pushed me upright.

"Careful, Seph. You might have had one too many."

I just stared at him. My eyes were once again locked with his. His expression was almost fervent, or at least that was how it appeared in my drunken stupor. I couldn't think of anything to say, and I was overwhelmed with a strong urge to kiss him.

"Sorry," I finally stammered. God damn it. I hate this stupid flustered, awkward feeling I get whenever I'm around him. This absurd…nervous excitement. I hate it, and yet, somehow I love it, too.

I resumed cleaning up, taking the mess into the kitchen. "Well, I had fun tonight." I tried to cover my anxiety with meaningless conversation. Genesis had followed me into the kitchen. "So I suppose you'll be staying here tonight?"

"Of course," he replied nonchalantly. He swiftly shoved me against the refrigerator and kissed me passionately.

I had never kissed another man before. In fact, I hadn't had many experiences with women, either. Sex was a topic that, unlike most people my age, I had little concern with. I had gone few dates here and there, but none of them had sparked my interest in the slightest. Genesis, on the other hand, was very much…alluring.

I didn't think about the moment while it was happening. My mind was swept away from all thoughts of reality, and it briefly seemed that my only purpose in life was to feverishly kiss Genesis back.

After a while I broke the kiss. "Wait," I said. Genesis stared at me. I had no idea what I was going to say next; my mind was completely blank. "I..um, do you really think we should be doing this?" I stammered.

Genesis gave a short, harsh laugh. "Are you presuming to tell me this isn't what you want?" I stared at him, unsure of what he was saying. "Don't think I haven't noticed the way you look at me. You want me. Do you deny it?"

Sometimes I hate him. He has this ability to know what I'm feeling even when I'm trying my best to hide it. He knows what I'm thinking before I've even began to contemplate it. Half the time, he knows me better than I know myself.

The only response I could muster was to kiss him again.

Genesis stayed very true to his nature, he was fierce and aggressive about everything. We were both half undressed and completely out of breath by the time we made it into the bedroom. He shoved me onto the bed and climbed on top of me, pressing his bare chest against mine. Every touch, every kiss, every sensation that passed through my body was overwhelming. I felt like such an amateur, but Genesis clearly knew what he was doing. He kissed my neck roughly and rolled his hips smoothly into mine. I ran my hand through his auburn hair and tried to suppress a moan. His hands worked to undo my pants, and he quickly slid them off along with my underwear.

Genesis stood up and looked over my naked body. I blushed deeply and became very embarrassed. Genesis had a hungry look in his eyes, and I noticed he was undoing his own pants, revealing his perfectly sculpted body. And my god, he was huge. I sat up; every inch of me craved his touch. Genesis quickly pushed me back flat against the bed. He rested one hand just above my shoulder and gently stroked my erection with the other, all the while leaving soft kisses down my neck and chest.

This was such a sudden, dramatic change from what had gone on just a moment ago. It was almost like he was hell-bent on torturing me. However, I felt completely frozen in the spot. I could have died right there and not cared one bit.

His mouth was inches away from my erection. My breathing was labored now, and my mind was racing with excitement and desire. He slowly lowered his head and licked the tip of my shaft gently, keeping his radiant eyes glued to mine the whole time. He was toying with me. I growled deeply from the back of my throat. He smirked, and took half of my erection in his mouth, sucking forcefully.

I was reeling in this sensation of passion and ecstasy, but as I reached my climax, Genesis stopped abruptly. "Not yet," he said. I wrapped my arms around his torso and pulled him up into a fiery kiss. He collapsed into me, his hands running wildly through my hair. My fingertips ran over the smooth skin of his back. Our hips rolled and grinded into each other's, and the feeling was enough to drive us both crazy. Genesis broke the kiss.

"Do you trust me?" he asked.

I was confused. "What do you mean?"

He pressed his erection against me. "Do you trust me not to hurt you?"

I understood completely now. Fear and excitement rushed through me, but I didn't let it show on my face. I would not do this for any other person on the Planet.

I thrust my hips into his and dug my fingers into his shoulders. "Make it hurt," I said. That hungry, desirous look returned to Genesis's eyes.

I haven't completed the next chapter yet, but it will be the morning after. Maybe. I don't really know yet…
