Who: Genesis and Rikku When: After Genesis' first entry. Where: Clocktower. Rating: PG. Warnings: None. Summary: Rikku taking Genesis back to his "old home".
Even though he didn't remember, even though she was positive this wasn't the same Genesis she had known, even though there was little to no chance that he would recall anything about Purgatorium, Rikku couldn't help but smile when she had decided to meet him. To have him back, one of hers, was just too wonderful for a grin not to split her lips. It was selfish, the utmost display of greed, but she didn't care. Just talking to him, seeing him again, and maybe catching a little of his scent would be enough. His departure the first time had hit her hard, and the pain had come back tenfold the second. But now he was there, in Hell, with her, and there seemed to be a bit of light in the Lower Level, even though she knew that wasn't possible. Because.
Because he was Genesis. Maybe not her Genesis, but he shared the same name, the same looks, the same everything, so maybe he could be her Genesis, or at least close. She wasn't planning on dying anytime soon, to test that theory, that hope, but she would have if it would make him remember.

Genesis' ears pricked up at the footsteps, he turned around just as Rikku called out to him. He was extremely surprised - although his expression did not show it - at the sheer joy on her face. He gazed at the blonde, sharp eyes drifting over her features, her eyes shining with excitement, her lips curved up in the biggest smile he'd ever seen. Was this all because of him? He had to wonder how it was possible that just the mere sight of a person could make one so happy...as happy as Rikku seemed to be.
He'd hoped that something would return to him when he saw the girl. Some memory, some feeling, something - anything, that indicated that what she said was right. That he had known her once upon a time, that they had been friends. He took another look as she came closer, eyes burning with intensity and almost a kind of desperation as he tried to remember...but no, there was nothing there

She saw it there in his eyes, that he was at least trying to remember her. That was enough, for the moment. Because if he had been her friend once, if they had made it work already, there was no reason why it couldn't work again. Simplifying life was just easier sometimes, especially when the alternative was accepting the fact that people she had grown to love were leaving, coming back, and not knowing who the hell she was

"Hn," A non committal reply, then after a few moments, "Not the first time it's happened? In my case, you mean?"
If that was true, then he had to wonder how many times it had happened before or if he'd even regained his memories on those occasions.
He was wary of her, not wanting to get too involved too soon. He wasn't sure what she wanted exactly, what she was expecting. Things to turn back to the way they once were before? If that was the case, then she'd be disappointed. Maybe they could form some sort of friendship - it would take time, but it wasn't impossible - though he doubted that it would ever be the same as it once was. Mainly because he couldn't remember what their friendship had been like.
It was like rediscovering the type of person you'd been from someone else. It left him with a confused, almost empty feeling. He didn't like it.
