"Holy..."

"Do you have to state the obvious?" Sephiroth asked, glancing over at Genesis and continuing to cut his cheese. Genesis narrowed his eyes and sat down opposite the General, resting his head in one hand.

"Looks disgusting." he commented.

"At least I now know you won't try to steal any of it." Sephiroth replied.

"Well obviously, considering it's going mouldy."

"I think you're missing the point," Sephiroth said with a sigh. "It was made with mould. It's supposed to be like that."

Genesis crinkled his nose and turned his head away.

"Still gross."

"Each to his own then..." Sephiroth mumbled, continuing to slice the Swiss cheese. It was late afternoon in their shared apartment, but they hadn't seen Angeal all day.

"I wonder what's keeping the puppy trainer..." Genesis mused with a slight smirk, drumming his fingers on the table with his other hand.

"Probably doing just that." The General replied absently, setting the knife down on the cutting board. "Sure you don't want any?" he added teasingly, picking up one of the slices and waving it in Genesis' face.

"Eurgh! Back off!" Genesis said, sliding his chair backwards across the floor in an attempt to get away from it.

Sephiroth chuckled, taking a bite out of the cheese with a smirk. Genesis took a moment to force a glare at his friend before standing up to stretch his worked muscles, letting out a loud yawn.

"Oh em gee! Do I smell cheese?"

Sephiroth and Genesis both turned to look at the doorway, in which Zack was now standing with a very excited look on his face.

"ANGEAL!" Genesis yelled at the top of his lungs, clearly frustrated that he'd let that puppy inside again. "How could you?"

Zack Fair however took no pity on the tired 1st class and bounded into the room, hopping from foot to foot around the back of Sephiroth.

"No, no and no." Sephiroth said firmly, picking up another slice of cheese and devouring it quickly. Zack pouted but continued hopping, convinced that if he was persistent he might wear down the General and succeed in being given some cheese to nom on.

Genesis stared at the sight of Zack bounding around his friend and grimaced, feeling a headache forming around his temples. Is this what Angeal has to deal with all the time?

"Hey, Zack," Genesis said suddenly, an idea forming in his mind. Reaching across the table, the redhead took a spare slice of cheese with his fingertips, forcing himself not to gag at the substance. "You see this cheese?"

"Well, duh!" Zack replied excitedly, his attention now focused on Genesis.

"Go fetch!" the redhead said teasingly, letting the cheese fly across the room and out the door. Zack's eyes lit up and he bolted after it in an instant, with cries of 'where did it go?' and 'I can't find it!' reaching Genesis and Sephiroth's ears. Genesis sighed, walking over to the door to shut and lock it.

"You owe me cheese." Sephiroth growled.
