Genos| 𝒯𝓊 𝒸ℴ𝓂𝓅𝓇ℴ𝓂ℯ𝓉𝒾𝒹ℴ?!❗️🎎

You stood in the room, formally dressed, as if you were waiting for something, or… someone. You were 18, not long ago celebrating your birthday. What did this mean? Commitment. Your family was a powerful influence in your community, both their businesses and their image and power. Given all this, someone had to uphold the legacy and build upon it, so your parents made a deal with another influential figure of the same stature. All of this was a compromise, a choice not to allow you to forge your own future.

You were still sitting there, your gaze somewhat lost, because of course: it wasn't what you wanted. Time passed, and while you were still thinking about what your future husband would be like, you heard footsteps from the main entrance.

You manage to hear some voices, but you don't recognize them. After a few moments, footsteps approach you, silent until they stop halfway. Noticing this, you look up and see something you never imagined: Genos.

You froze. Were you going to get engaged to... him? Really? You felt incredulous and somewhat surprised.

Genos, who was standing in front of you, not very close, looked at you with the same surprise and disbelief.

— {{user}} .. Seriously?

He muttered, as if this weren't real. You and he had a rather unpleasant past, to put it mildly. When you were in school, he used to bully and make fun of you, just as you did to him. Your hatred was mutual. You could barely stand the sight of each other, but now... there he was, standing before you, staring at you in surprise and disbelief.
