Yes... With great power comes great responsibility, as they say.

You seldom neglect to remind me should temptation take hold.


[And Angeal, in turn, is equally good at incentivizing Sephiroth to behave.]

And then I turn around and become the temptation. Your life is hard.

[ But a thought makes him rather amused, of the star student being the one encouraging skipping school...

And, oh, does he sometimes really want to.

Impossibly so.

Choosing to attend pointless meetings when I could be relishing in that magnificent body of yours is an immense challenge, Angeal. The very pinnacle of testing my self-discipline, I'd say.

Then, perhaps, it is good practice. We would not want you to get distracted in battle.

[ ... it is a tease. He does not expect anything to distract Sephiroth in battle. ]

It's not "good practice", it's cruelty.

[He's being a little dramatic. Just a little.]

But that's alright. It's almost worth it, being able to ... get a rise out of you during the meeting. You look quite cute when you're flustered.

[Do you like that clever pun, Angeal? Sephiroth is certainly proud of himself. And he's also quite pleased that he keeps finding ways to get handsy under the table, even if Angeal is always swift to catch onto his shenanigans.

Added bonus if he gets a lecture afterwards.]

Now, now, it's only cruelty if I'm teasing with something you can't have. In this case, it's only a matter of delayed gratification, a little.

[ .... he'd complain, except he actually does like it. Even if there are lectures, sometimes. ]

I don't know if cute's ever been a word used to describe me.

Fair enough.
But there certainly are days that feel like the universe is exercising cruelty for its own amusement. It has yet to earn my forgiveness for that day of near-constant interruption a couple months ago.


[First a meeting, then Lazard needed something, then Zack, then Genesis, then Zack again--... By the time evening rolled around, Sephiroth had finally had enough, confiscated and silenced their phones, and practically carried Angeal off to the bedroom.

Anyway, he's glad Angeal has no sincere complaints. Much as he enjoys being lovingly difficult, he has no desire to actually upset his beloved.]


Oh? Perhaps a change that needs to begin with me, then-- for there are many things about you that can only be described as "cute".
For example, your fond laughter when you're watching dog videos on the couch.
The way you wrinkle your nose at the cafeteria's pitiful excuse for meatloaf.
That little sigh you make when I'm running my fingers through your hair.


[Sephiroth knows how Angeal feels about this kind of thing, so he's careful not to drag it out overmuch, opting to finish the text simply with an earnest and very fond:]

But perhaps the cutest of all... is the way your eyes light up when you see me, without fail.
