Genesis had half-expected Nero to continue shouting at him, but he couldn’t find it in him to be surprised when the man deflated instead. Maybe the dark-haired man had even wanted Genesis to antagonize him more. He thought he could understand that. What were you left with when even your enemies were gone? And Genesis played a pretty good villain, if he did say so himself.
But apparently he just kept disappointing Nero. He couldn’t save the man when he wanted it and he couldn’t even be his usual snide self when he wanted it either. Genesis never did like to play to people’s expectations, but in this instance it made him uneasy not to.
Nero described freedom as lonely. Genesis wanted to deny it--he didn’t like to think that he could be the same as the unstable man across from him with the wild look in his red eyes--but it wasn’t much different for him in the end. He was low enough right now to know that he was certainly no better than Nero, though he might feel differently in the morning once he was in better spirits. Since he couldn’t contradict the man, he offered him a slightly bitter smile instead. “You found me alone and unconscious on a cliffside. I think that tells you enough.”
It was as much as he could have expected of Zack, really. However much they’d reached an understanding in the end, they barely knew each other except for through Angeal. And yet they’d been the only ones left.
Nero offered him a white flower that he’d plucked from along the moonlit path, and Genesis stared down at it in surprise. A part of him almost wanted to strike it out of the man’s hand, but that visual called to mind Sephiroth refusing the apple he’d offered him in the Nibelheim reactor. It wasn’t a memory he liked to recall, and maybe that’s what prompted him to peel back one of his leather gloves so he could reach out and take the delicate bloom. “My friend, your desire is the bringer of life, the gift of the goddess.”
The flower had an earthy, sweet smell that reminded him a bit of lilacs. Genesis couldn’t have named the white flower, but Angeal probably could have. Maybe still could, if Sephiroth succeeded in his quest to track him down. “I've been staying with Sephiroth. I found him here.” Genesis wasn’t sure why he was explaining to Nero that he wasn’t quite alone here. It almost felt like he was offering the dark-haired man something, but he couldn’t have said what.
He hesitated for just a beat before glancing up at one of the stars overhead. It was shimmering the barest amount as if to warn him against asking the question that rose to his lips next. “...What happened to your brother? You called him Weiss?”
