[SC] Ten Years Ahead [Genesis + Clovis]

Even if the morrow is barren of promises
Nothing shall forestall my return
To become the dew that quenches the land
To spare the sands, the seas, the skies
I offer thee this silent sacrifice

It had been about a year or so since Genesis disappeared with Vergil. Genesis couldn't tell. He had stopped watching the time since his Meister had gone away from him. With a mission ending in failure, he couldn't bring himself to return to Shibusen, seeing that it was a losing battle.

Yet, he did see Vergil while he roamed. And it was then he decided that it was time to see what he could do in the war once more.

He thought about who to see first there on the other side. He didn't want to see Date again just yet as it wasn't sure if he was really going to contribute to the battle on Shibusen's side once more. Near, to him, was a little more like a business partner than a trusted friend most of the time. Which... perhaps left only one person.

Clovis.

"Saying it aloud." It seemed more than a little troublesome to do so. His head lifted a little as he realized what it was that he could say. "Yes, I do have something in mind, and I would be willing to show you such. Later."

Ah, being able to say such things already, he was surprised. Had he been repressed for that long? All those little thoughts and things that would strangle him for even hitting impropriety, they were silenced and allowed him the chance to breathe a little easier.

"I can't wait," Genesis chose not to censor himself anymore-- to screen away how much he both wanted and adored the other man before him. If he didn't feel like too much of a tease, he might have already given a head start.

Of course, one issue was bothering Clovis. Even as he continued to feed Genesis, he allowed his gaze to slip off. Mixing with thoughts of how he could carry out the desires and feelings that were welling up inside him, as well as a concern that was quietly growing. Chewing on his bottom lip, he finally decided to ask.

"Are you really happy with me?" How funny. For someone like him who had so much confidence. "That is ... I won't be able to carry on your bloodline." His words stumbled over one another, as he lowered his gaze now, embarrassed to having brought something of the sort up. Something, he should have brought up much sooner, really.

"My bloodline?" Genesis paused, musing. He never really gave it much thought. He always had supposed that the mako treatments had rendered him infertile. Although there was a possibility that Jenova cells could be transferred via reproduction. In any case, he never truly felt that need to have another Rhapsodos carry his name.

"I never really gave it mind. Nor did I really care," he cupped Clovis' cheek tenderly. "My bloodline would be cursed with the cells to threaten my world. And I don't want that to happen."

Clovis nodded once at the question before setting aside the empty bowl. Folding his hands on his lap, he wondered about where all these questions were coming from. Where all his insecurity and concern. Was this also something that he had repressed so that he would not ever have to be afraid of becoming close to someone?

His head lifted a little, surprised at that comment. "Cursed?" Nothing about you could be cursed.

"My body carries cells that are part of a Calamity which threatens to destroy my world. It makes me a monster."

"A monster?" Clovis actually felt a little spark of anger at that. His head gave a violent shake. "I won't believe something like that, Genesis. You aren't a monster."

"It is something in my blood. But I do my best to curb it. You weren't there when I was on the path to destruction back in my own world." He fondly touches the Prince's cheek.

"For you, I will never let myself become that. But... you, are you alright not carrying on your royal bloodline?"

"No, I suppose that I was not." Still, he did raise his hand to settle it over the one against his face.

"I have seventeen brothers and sisters." While they were not present, it did not matter. He knew that they would carry on where they were, because they were strong. Because, he could not see the Imperial Family falling any time soon. "The royal bloodline will be carried out regardless.

Furthermore, I had already said that I have given up my title and position, hadn't I?" His grip tightened just a little. "So I can only be yours."

"For me... only me," Genesis' gaze softened as his other hand pressed against Clovis' back, leading him to rest against his bare chest. "Goddess, how have I been blessed to have such as you loving me."

He chuckled and shifted just a little.

"I'll need to eat a little more, though, so I can hold you stronger." Honestly, the soup wasn't enough. Genesis needed more meat in his system lest he lose his muscle. "But Goddess-- I can't take my hands off you, Clovis."

There was little to no resistance before he rested comfortably against Genesis once more. He let out a content sigh, wrapping his arms around him to cling onto the other once more. "You keep saying that you are blessed, but I'm the one that feels that way."

He did pull back to cover his face, then, embarrassed. "Oh, I hadn't been thinking. I can go and get something more for you." A pause, but he was able to keep himself staring at Genesis this time instead of looking away as before. "It's the same for me. I don't want you to stop touching me."

With a little smirk playing on his lips he drew in to brush his lips lightly over Clovis' neck. How could he resist such words.

"Then I promise I'll keep touching you-- I'll touch you all over again once I'm full."

Clovis tilted his neck up in order to give Genesis better access should he wish to continue. His tone of voice became just a little dreamier. "That is ... that was what I was hoping for when I mentioned later." A pause, realizing that he had said just a little too much. "I had said that I wanted to show you as much, but I suppose that telling you is good, too."

Clovis' newfound sexuality made Genesis feel his blood heat up in his veins. Why did his beloved have to be so distractingly beautiful? And perhaps... unwittingly sexy. He would have a terrible time trying to pull away from him now. He nipped at the other man's neck.

"You have no idea how much you telling me that makes me want you even more. I'm sure you'll drive me crazy once you show me what you say..."

"Bur first..." His arms had once more found their way around Genesis's neck, resting his head against the other's as his neck was adored. It took him a few seconds to regain his senses before he lightly pushed himself away. Focus, focus. "First, I need to bring you food. What would you like? I'll get it all this time.

"Ah." Once more his hands came to cover his face in embarrassment. This sounded like something that Bartley would say to him, trying too hard to please. It was the same sort of feeling though, wanting very much to please and ensure Genesis's happiness.

"Would you mind it if I went with you this time? I'd like to see what I could have-- although I am definitely in the mood for some meat," he hummed pleasantly as he pulled away from Clovis. He had to exert some self-control, too, after all.

"Yes, of course!" Lowering his hands from his face, he smiled brightly. It was a little sad to be apart from Genesis. Holding his chin, he wondered aloud. "Would you mind if I held your hand while we went? It's such a silly thing to ask, isn't it, but I am curious all the same."

At that, Genesis pressed a quick kiss to Clovis' forehead. "Of course. You can always hold it. I think I would like it, too." It felt good to be able to express such things so freely.

With that said, Genesis slid off the bed, still fully naked and moved around to pick up his clothes and get dressed. Walking around, he replayed the moments of the confession in his head-- their vows, the way he got Clovis to undress and how he himself did so before him. It made his cheeks warm.

"I believe I should buy more clothes, too. Unless you have anything to say about that," he chuckles.

Clovis picked up the tray to set it somewhere where it would not be in the way, before sitting back on the bed comfortably. His gaze did dip down to his hand as he already wanted to reach his hand out to hold the other's, but realized how silly that would be at that moment. He watched Genesis quietly, chewing lightly on his bottom lip.

"So it would be a complete outing for us, then?" His hands clapped lightly together once, then. Realizing the childishness of his action, his hands lowered back down to his lap instead. "It's ridiculous... how happy I am to spend any time with you. To be able to be with you in any way, despite being with you right now."

"Yes. Yes, it would be," Genesis smiled as he slipped his pants back on, quickly followed by his shirt. It always amused him how Clovis was so careful about his body language, even here in private with him. He couldn't quite believe how happy he felt at everything before him: being with Clovis, sharing his room, doing things with him... it was as if he belonged again. And this time, it was for good.

"You know... I have that same ridiculous feeling, too."

Really, he couldn't get over how to be in love with someone. Clovis had been thinking about it for so long since Genesis had been missing, thinking that he was dead. About all the things that he would've and should've done.

But, now they could do all of those things, and that simple knowledge left a very warm feeling to all those little regrets. That thought along with remembering how they had sealed their vows would ensure that he would be happy and content for a very long time. To constantly be surrounded in those feelings and never feel that same cold from that year, again.

"Do you?" Another smile. "Do you really?"

"Yes, I do. Really," Genesis smiled and held his hand out to his beloved.

"So, shall we go?"

Getting up off the bed, he took Genesis's offered hand. He paused briefly to stare down at their joined hands, and once more humored the idea of rings in his head, before looking back up at him.

"Yes, let's go."

And so they went. Genesis wasn't all too sure of where to go as he hadn't seen Shibusen in such a long time, but he let Clovis guide him to good places for food and perhaps shopping. After all, he was the one who designed the city in honor of Spirit.

After a hearty meal somewhere, Genesis decided to seek out clothes. Coming upon a shop that seemed to carry affordable yet dapper clothes, Genesis held Clovis' hand a little tighter, pulling him to him.

"Would you help me pick out clothes?"

Clovis enjoyed acting as a bit of a tour guide for Genesis. To show him what had become of Shibusen since he had been gone. He thought of taking him also by the mural that he had painted in honor of those that had been lost, but he remembered that his love's face was on it, and it would not do to show him such until his face and form was painted over.

Pulled in close to Genesis, he stared up at him in mild confusion. The confusion faded to amusement as his thoughts went to sewing the man a jacket those years ago. "Yes, I would love to do so." Something nice. Something to mark now living with them now.
