Re....n chap 4

GENESIS' POV

-

"Sick?" Sephiroth prodded. "With what?"

"Thats the thing. Nobody knows." Angeal growled out. "Genesis, check her pulse."

I did so, placing two fingers on her throat, counting. I let out a breath. "It's normal."

He sighed in relief. "Good. I'm going to take her to her room." he picked Aimee up gently in his arms and started walking away.

Sephiroth's eyes were narrowed.

"You're trying to figure out what's wrong with her." i stated.

He looked up at me. "Is it MAKO poisoning?"

I shook my head. "No. She's had it before. Couldn't get her to respond for days on end. Angeal was very frightened for her."

"What about you? Were you worried about her?"

"Yes. But not in the way you're thinking of." i lied. Of course it was. It always has been, ever since i first laid eyes on her twelve years ago.

He smirked. "I'm going to go to bed."

I knew that he saw straight through the lie. Damn him.

AIMEE'S POV.

Move!

Move!

Move!

I screamed at myself in my head, unable to move my mouth. I hated when i had these attacks. I couldn't do anything. Except for fall asleep, which i had probably done in Sephiroths arms.

For some reason, the thought had me blushing.

It also released me from my paralysis.

I rolled over on the bed and blinked a few times. There, sitting in front of me, was Genesis, reading Loveless.

"Haven't you had enough of that god forsaken book?" i groaned.

"Morning." he snapped the book shut.

"Morning? How long has passed?"

"Just under 48 hours."

"So today is.... Thursday?"

"Close. Friday." he chuckled. "How do you feel?"

"I feel fine, like usual. The only time that i don't is just before an attack. I feel refreshed."

"That's good to hear."

"So can i get up now?"

"No."

I gave him the puppy dog look. "Pretty please?"

He looked away, before i had the chance to make him crack.

I snickered. "Damn, you're not meant to look away." i laid back down. "Where's my brother?"

"He's training his pupil."

"Zack." i chuckled. "I feel sorry for him."

Genesis raised an eyebrow. "Why?"

"Because if i have been out for as long as you've told me, Angeal will be stressing out and getting frustrated super easily."

"I suppose you're right."

I winked. "Of course."

His face went red, and i giggled, putting my hand on his forehead. "You got a fever?"
