A Gypsy Wish (Genie X Male OC)

Lies Break Bread

( I meshed two chapter in one here.)

When we were poofed back to the garden, I noticed that dark had fallen. Hm...Who would've though a song could take up so much time. "So Genie," Aladdin started, "how does it feel to be free?" 

"Seriously?" Genie asked, feigning disappointment. "I LOVE IT!" He jumped up into the air with his arms raised high. A sickening crack was heard and he doubled over. It was obvious the poor thing was in pain. When he stood straight again, he said "Okay...So maybe my powers aren't what they used to be."

He poofed in between Jasmine and Aladdin and continued in a whispering voice. "Let's just say they're semi-cosmic...nearly phenomenal." He then shrunk down and made his voice squeaky. "But don't sell me short!"

He made himself normal size and continued. "I may be free but I still have some magic in me! I can still do this:" He poofed into a magician's garb and pulled a flower out of thin air, smiling triumphantly. This quickly ended when the flower sucked off his face.

"Whoa!" the faceless Genie exclaimed. Grabbing his face back out of the flower and putting it back into place, he looked at us sheepishly. "Hate to loose face in front of you guys. Give me another chance."

I rolled my eyes and smiled. He hasn't been back a day and the puns have already started. Genie poofed out a long box and a saw. "Okay, who's first? I CAN do this!"

"No thanks. I trust you but, Aladdin isn't there-" I said, to Aladdin who knew what I was gonna say. "Actually Genie," Aladdin said, saving me from embarrassment, "we have to get to-"

"Dinner!" Jasmine cut in, realizing their predicament. "We're late!"

"Oh, you probably have a romantic dinner for two planned." Genie said, slightly disappointed. "You don't want a big blue lug gumming up the works"

"But, Genie-" Aladdin tried to explain, but Genie wouldn't have it. "Three's a crowd! You kids go on!" I saw this as my advantage and I walked up, taking Genie's arm. "Y'know Genie...Since you're not going with them, we could go somewhere quiet and...catch up..."

By this time, I had snuggled myself into his shoulder. I breathed in his semi-familiar scent and sighed as I felt my heart start to soar....

....But it was all cut short when Genie peeled himself out of my embrace.

He laughed uncomfortably.

"Hehehe... Actually Besnik, I think maybe I should...ah, get some rest. Yeah! See...like I said I'm not as powerful as I used to be and see....I'm kinda tired...yeah...tired." Genie then let out an obnoxious yawn and backed away from me. 

"Oh...okay then." I said as I pushed my choppy bangs back, only to have them fall back over my left eye; a nervous habit I've had since I could last remember. Not many knew about it because I'm never nervous, but this... it's something to be nervous about. "That's too bad," Jasmine said, stepping up, "because we would be honored to have you at dinner Genie."

"You would?" Genie asked, turning sharply and seeming much more alive than he had a moment ago. "We're all suppose to be at dinner." Aladdin explained.

"Ah, c'mon, all of ya! Get in here!" Genie pulled us all into a group hug. After we were all thoroughly choked, he dropped us and made his way towards the palace. "I'm cookin', let's go!"

My spirits lifted slightly at seeing him so happy again. But as soon as the feeling came, it left. Tired, huh?...Yeah right. I felt my heart drop into my stomach as I remembered the way he pulled himself away from me. I started walking slowly behind everyone else, my head down, concentrating on the ground beneath me.
