8D I LOVE YOU TOO. I am sad the game doesn't give us more of Genis and Colette's relationship because DUMBTRIO ♥
...anyway, Genis is so platonicgay for Lloyd you have no idea. Like I said in my previous essay(s) to Mithos, Lloyd as a hero is very much a role model and inspiration to Genis. He's so strong and upbeat and being around him makes Genis want to be a better person--and it makes him feel like he can be that better person. IT'S LIKE LLOYD IS ~THE SUN~ or something cheesy like that. I think it's even more effective because Genis has been with Lloyd so long and he knows he isn't perfect. He's seen Lloyd make mistakes and grow, and become this person who Genis honestly believes can do anything in the world (except scholarly things probably). So rather than putting Lloyd on a pedestal, it's more like Lloyd represents so much potential, and he brings it out in other people too!
OF COURSE THAT ISN'T ALL THERE IS TO LLOYD. Lloyd was also a lot of firsts for Genis. He was his first real friend, the first human he really liked (also, Lloyd is definitely the vast majority of the reason Genis said in game one he felt he could come to like humans in general. Genis loev the rest of the party too, especially Colette, but it was mostly Lloyd), the first human to show him that half-elf prejudice can be changed/overcome, and so on and so forth. Lloyd will never stop being his best and most important friend, and Genis loves being able to just...BE BICKERFRIENDS. He can make fun of Lloyd, argue, get noogies, roughhouse in their own way, get into ridiculous scrapes, not see each other for a while and still know they'll never stop being friends because it's Lloyd. I am literally waving my arms around IRL and going AND HE'S LLOYD!!! so I think I will stop here. :'(
It really does. THEY'VE BEEN FRIENDS FOR SO LONG IT'S JUST...SECOND NATURE. LLOYD-SHAPED HOLE IN HIS LIFE only it's not really a hole because it's Lloyd!!
Also do it, just make sure Raine doesn't catch them until it's too late.
