Zidane shifted from on top of Kuja, where he'd laid to protect the other man from the collapsing Iifa Tree. He let out a pained groan, flopping onto his butt, before brushing himself off. He dug in his pocket for his last potion, snapping off the cap before holding it to Kuja's lips, slipping a hand under the other Genome's head to raise it slightly.

Kuja coughed and spluttered at the vile taste of the green goo as he regained consciousness. He sat up slowly, blinking those crystal blue eyes slowly, establishing his surroundings and taking in the area. It was then that he saw Zidane and scowled. “Why are you here?”

Zidane shrugged his shoulders with a smile. “You're my brother, I couldn't just leave you to die.”

Kuja scoffed at that. “Brother? I'm hardly fit to be called that after all I have done.”

Again Zidane shrugged and shifted closer, resting his head on Kuja's shoulder. “That's in the past, we've been given a second chance, we should grasp it with both hands.

So Kuja did. He grasped Zidane's cheeks with his hands lightly, drawing the younger Genome into a soft, but firm kiss, his tail swaying softly like a contented cat. Zidane's eyes shot wide open as he was kissed. He tried to pull away, but after a moment found himself kissing back. His own tail flicked and tensed, before curling around to meet Kuja's tangling with it for a moment to make a heart.

They broke the kiss after a long moment, staring silently into each other's eyes, their tails still entwined in a heart. After all, no one said they had to be brothers on this second chance. Lovers sounded much better.
