"Your falling behind ‘Geal~" Genesis called from the top of the hill that lead to his house. There was a smile as he jumped from foot to foot waiting on his best friend to catch up with him.
Angeal was by no means slow, and normally he was able to keep up with Genesis pretty well, which is how he knew that the mayors son was in an extraordinarily good mood. “I’m coming Gen I’m coming, but where are we going?” He asked when he finally made it to Genesis’ side. The red head just beamed at him.
"My house!" It was unheard of for Genesis to want to go back to his home for any reason. Even when it was late he would rather stay cuddled up at Angeal’s place any day. Today though his attention was stuck on the large house at the top of the hill.
Deciding it was better not to question, and knowing Genesis wouldn’t give up any answers till he wanted to anyways, the larger boy simply followed. By time they reached the top of the hill though questions were forming. There was a bunch of people gathered around with notepads open. Angeal slowed down dramatically when he saw Mr. Rhapsodos standing before them.
Expecting Genesis to tell him to wait. This time though Genesis was all smiles. “It’s okay. My father is the one that told me to come get you. He knows I want you here!” He promised before pointing to a chair. “You can sit there if you want. I know you aren’t big on attention.” He provided and Angeal took the out hurrying to the chair as Genesis clamored up on to the porch to take his side by his father.
It was clear from the way the red head stood, to how he held his hands, he wanted to be like the man that was raising him. All his time went into making his father proud. To being the man that his father wanted. It was strange to see the boy that had moments before been bubbling over with excitement hold himself completely still and smiling politely at the people below.
A few minutes later the interview started and Angeal realized just why Genesis had been so excited. All the people were here to talk to the young boy who had came up with a way to actually can banora apple juice, and preserve it so that it could be sold to other nations. Something that would help to expand Banora and something that people had been trying to do for ages.
Mrs Rhapsodos sat beside Angeal, watching as Genesis explained how he came up with his ideas and what his future was to be. This was just step one, everyone would know his name someday. He was grinning ear to ear when the interviews ended and the reporters left.
Genesis winced slightly as he felt a hand on his head, but looked up when it stayed there. His father was looking down at him, and for the first time in his life Genesis could have sworn he saw the barest of smiles on his father’s face. “You did very well Genesis. I am proud.”
Jaw dropped Genesis stood there looking up at his father as the man walked away. His mother came up behind him, hugging him tight and repeating the words of how proud she was. It meant a lot of course, and he would have responded if he hadn’t still been in shock.
He only was snapped out of it when he felt a hand on his shoulder. “Hey congrats Gen!” Angeal said, and meant it seriously. He knew how much Genesis had worked to get that recipe perfect and so did the other boys kitchen. His own mother had been more then a little displeased to find it in such a state.
Seeing Genesis’ smile like this though made the extra chores worth it. Genesis turned around then and threw his arms around Angeal, hugging his best friend tight. Because he was the one person who always stood beside him. “Thanks ‘Geal!” He said before moving back to the chair and grabbing two apples, throwing one to his best friend.
"I couldn’t have ever done it without you."
