WHO: Greed & Zoe
WHEN: Thursday evening
WHERE: Zoe's apartment
WHAT: Zoe went away for three days and has just got home
WARNING: Sure, why not.
NOTE: We're impatient brats okay.


Zoe had to get out of the city because it was too much. She was hugely depressed over losing her grandmother's locket and she hated the fact that she let Greed's callousness hurt her. She knew from the start he was trouble, he was a player, and he was interested in just one thing. She was an idiot for letting it go as far as it did and she'd take the blame on herself. Why not, it wasn't Greed's job to care and actually back off and not break her heart. He had to go after what he wanted. It was human nature.

So Zoe ran to get some space and distance while she still had control over her emotions. Except her phone wasn't letting her forget him. She wanted to call Gabe but knew he was unavailable and she was starting to hate her phone. Greed was going to be the death of her. One minute hot, one minute cold... AUGH. She'd gone for a few days by the water which always settled her nerves except every time she got a message, she wanted to chuck the phone in the ocean. She'd tried turning the phone off but when she turned it back on, she'd have a slew of new messages from him. And though she didn't respond to any of them, she read every single one. And she hated that she missed him.

On the ride home she didn't even look at her phone, just miserably out the window of the bus. The person next to her said, "I think you have a message." Zoe didn't even look at them just said dully, "I know." a few minutes later, the phone buzzed again and the man said, "Could be important.." Zoe said in the same flat voice, "It's not." she closed her eyes and let her head thunk against the glass lightly as the phone buzzed again.

When she reached her apartment building, she pulled out her phone to scroll through the texts Greed had sent her today. She sighed and put the phone in her duffel along with her shoes so she could start the long climb up the stairs to her apartment. She'd cried already on her little trip away but all she wanted to do now was crawl into her nice bed and cry some more. If she really wanted to forget and move on she might have to change her number.

His eyes wavered under those thick lashes. She'd said it. He stared for a while. "You have no idea," he kissed her then, forget stomach reflexes. He would chalk it down to have it. He'd burn himself again and again just to keep tasting it.

Zoe's hand idly played with his ear but then he kissed her, she barely getting in a breath before it happened. Her hand slid down and into his hair, almost as if trying to keep him from breaking the kiss as he always did. When he was like this, just himself, Zoe wanted him but not just physically. There was something about him that she connected to and she didn't just go around making out with guys, she had strong feelings for Greed and it was frustrating that he didn't seem to accept them. Or want to accept them.

[better-than.insanejournal.com]

When he was tangled up into his own messes, he got ahead of himself. Her name repeated itself over again in his mind, his kiss developing more hungry by the second. He ignored anything his body may have been doing to retaliate. He could feel sweat bead up against his neck, his skin hot to the touch. He'd keep going. He didn't even have to make her, she just wanted him as much as he was grabbing for.

[history-repeats.insanejournal.com]

Zoe was surprised but not complaining that he wasn't already turning cold on her. It'd been awhile since she'd had.. well.. since she'd... this position was one she hadn't been in in a while but that was by choice. The fact Greed had her here now was also by choice, she picked him. She wanted him. She kissed him back with a warmth that was settling in her stomach. Speaking of warm.. she could feel his body heat rise.. but not really in a sexual way, it was like an out of control fever under her hands.

[better-than.insanejournal.com]

He was used to heat. He liked heat. Hell was hotter than this and it was home. This was just a little different. He was gluttonous in his kisses, letting this build as long as he could stand. He'd have to stop breathing for her to pull him off. She was getting into it, he could feel the desire rolling through with the speed of a bullet train.

He slid down a bit, arm wrapping around her waist and dragging her down more comfortably into the couch, so that her head was held up by the cushion and not the arm of the couch. Now he was pressed into her, his body so warm it felt like he could internally combust.

[history-repeats.insanejournal.com]

Zoe's body heat had shot up too but Greed felt like he was on fire, she made a small noise when he pressed into her, not just from the weight but from the sheer intensity of heat that pierced through her.

She was getting worried about him but she liked the feel of him on her and so far.. he seemed okay. Aside from aforementioned heat. She ran a hand up his back as she tilted her head to change the angle of the kiss, wondering.. hoping that he had even a fraction of the same feelings for her that she had for him.

[better-than.insanejournal.com]

He wiggled out of his shirt, only breaking that kiss to pull it over his head. He tossed it across the room, settling right back into her. The cool air hit his back like ice. It felt good for a few minutes. He would keep pushing himself, because Greed would die wanting something. He'd probably have his hand out grabbing the air.

He just wanted so much all at once. She poured in more than he could really chew because he wasn't built the same way she was. He was born into humanity by humanity, so there was small similarities...but in the end he couldn't give the same. The back of his head was already soaked, the short hairs on his neck thick with sweat. "I want you, I want you...." He repeated against her lips. Eventually, it would be hard for him to breathe. Until he got himself used to this, used to having someone who had made up her own mind about him before he could cast his best line.

[history-repeats.insanejournal.com]

When the kiss broke, Zoe took in a deep breath only to have Greed's mouth slam back on hers. She closed her eyes and pressed both hands into his naked back, pulling him closer to her. She was starting to develop a sheen of sweat now and they had barely even started. She couldn't understand it. Her hands could feel his sweat and she was starting to really worry, the back of her mind remembering the last time when he normally would be vomiting by now..

She wanted to ask him if he was okay.. but when she heard him say he wanted her, she just melted. Her kiss intensified since his words soothed her fears that he didn't want her. The last couple of times he went running for the bathroom, it was such a rejection but he seemed to desire her now.

[better-than.insanejournal.com]

His voice broke in the back of his throat as he wasn't about to keep his hands still. Just a little longer. Then his body wouldn't know the difference, it would just take the plunge. When he started to feel his breath shorten (or maybe he'd just forgotten to breathe) he moved his kisses back to her neck. It gave Zoe some breathing room herself. He started to feel like he'd run a marathon without ever actually have taken the run. He wasn't hung over a toilet in the bathroom, but whatever she spilled out emotionally was still exotic to him. Lust would be so mad he couldn't seem to get to a certain point with this girl.

He did stop a moment as if he couldn't catch his breath, his cheek rested against her shoulder. He was feverish now and flushed. Losing his energy almost as fast sa he'd built it up.

[history-repeats.insanejournal.com]

Zoe took in a shaky breath when he moved his attention to her neck but she wasn't so far gone she didn't notice the changes. She looked at him and came close to panicking, "Chance?" putting an arm around him and using her other hand to touch his cheek. He looked like he was going to drop dead. Why did this keep happening..?

She tried to move out from under him and said in a rush of words, "Tell me what's wrong." she didn't know what to do but she knew this was not normal and she couldn't even begin to fix it unless he told her how.

[better-than.insanejournal.com]

He wanted to just keep going. Lust, maybe Lust could help? He wasn't normal therefore this wasn't a normal fix. "You can't," he said squeezing his eyes tight. Damn her for caring, couldn't she just want him for his body like everyone else? "It's me...its what I am." He pushed himself up, flopping at the other end of the couch on his back.

"Fuck..." Why did she have to keep throwing those horrible things like feelings at him?

[history-repeats.insanejournal.com]

Zoe frowned and winced as he looked like he was in pain. She was incredibly worried about him not realizing that that probably was making the situation worse. Was he saying this was a medical condition? "Do you need a doctor? Anything? Water?" she had no clue what to do and she felt helpless seeing him like this. She touched his shoulder but it was brief since it burned to touch him, almost as if his body was trying to protect him from her.

[better-than.insanejournal.com]

Greed watched her scramble, frantically almost. It was a kind of worry that had roles been reversed he may not have been as understanding. He wasn't built that way, but as he considered her his he may have been depressed. No different than a kid that lost his favorite toy.

Lust had been the only one to ever worry or concern herself with his well-being. This display by Zoe was very curious. He wasn't freaked out, actually chuckled a little. "Are you worried?" He could see it in her eyes though. It was weird.
"Have any ice packs?"

[history-repeats.insanejournal.com]

Zoe was baffled at how lightly he could take this. She frowned and cupped his face in her hands, "You looked like you were gonna die, of course I'm worried." this guy really not so good with the concept of 'I care about you'.

She nodded, "Let me see what we have.." she disappeared into the kitchen and when she came back she had a bag of frozen peas and a bowl of ice cubes with a dish towel. "This should work, they've been in there since I've lived here." and she handed him the frozen bag. She sat on the table in front of the sofa and put some of the cubes in the dish towel, pausing only to look at him, still unsure, "You sure you don't need anything else?" he still looked a mess.

[better-than.insanejournal.com]

She grabbed him like Lust would. It kind of took him by surprise. His blue eyes scanned back and forth as she looked at him. He debated telling her, really telling her as he'd only ever done it before breaking someone. "I'll be okay," he said a bit startled. He was not used to this at all.

He stood up albeit wobbly. "I could stand under a cold shower and you just throw it on me." He kicked off his shoes. It would be cold but it might do the trick. He fiddled with his belt but she might just pass out. "Kidding. But seriously, cold water and you can throw the whole ice tray at me."

[history-repeats.insanejournal.com]

Zoe immediately sprang to her feet when he stood up, a hand to his side in case he was going to fall.. just instinct. In reality, he'd take her down with him if he did fall. "You don't believe in rest do you.."

Her mouth opened and closed and she looked away when he fiddled with his belt. She was worried about him but she wasn't blind. "Um.. I don't know if standing is really a good option for you right now but an ice bath isn't a bad idea. I used to get bad fevers when I was a kid, they aren't the most fun thing but it'll cool you down and then you can sleep it off."

She looked down the hall, "You already know where the bathroom is. The water is normally freezing anyways but I can see how much more ice we have." and she looked at him as if asking if he was willing to do this plan.

[better-than.insanejournal.com]

"You can rest when your dead." He kind of did the opposite of what people thought, it was part of being a Sin. They never quit. He turned his head to the side. "As little as you are and you're trying to hold me up. Aww. It's kinda cute." He was joking around with her but she fretted even more.

"What you're just going to leave me in there?" He wanted her to stay. He wobbled to the bathroom, tripping over his own feet a few times, but she was still hanging on. He let her go to check for ice, filling the tub up with ice cold water while he took a seat on the edge.

[history-repeats.insanejournal.com]

Zoe gave him a look as he poked fun, "Well you seem to be close." but was glad she was with him to prevent him from eating floor when he tripped on the way to the bathroom. She was relieved he was going to be sitting in the tub and not standing up where he was liable to fall over and crack his head open.

She just said, "Yes, you're not five." and when she came back she avoided looking at him, not wanting to know if he was decent or not. She had a mixing bowl full of ice, probably all the ice they had and she dumped it in the tub and her other arm had a towel on it that she handed to him, "Yell if you need anything."

[better-than.insanejournal.com]

He pouted when she walked off, stripping himself of his jeans and going into the ice cold water without a second thought. He still kept his boxers on, making a gasp as that pins and needles hit his skin. "Holy fucking Jesus Christ!" It was Sharp, and he gripped the sides of the tub for leverage.

"Zoe!" He called out just before holding himself under water. What she didn't realize was he was practically five. He wanted company. He was still under water when she came in, coming back out like a rabid sea monster. "Shit that's cold." His teeth were chattering under his lips.

[history-repeats.insanejournal.com]

Zoe was getting her bed ready for him when she heard him yell, the worst things going through her mind as she got to the bathroom. She was going to full on panic when she saw.. well him not in the tub. She quickly went over to it and jumped when he popped back up like a moronic wet jack in the box.

"Ohmygod.." she said in a rush and covered her face with her hands and tilted her head back. She let her hands slowly slide back and through her hair as she tried to keep her heart from bursting out of her chest. "Chance!" she smacked him hard on the shoulder, "You almost gave me a heart attack!"

[better-than.insanejournal.com]

He laughed through his shivers. The ice was enough to cool down his skin. He grabbed her arms at the wrist, still laughing. "Want me to do it again?" He liked making her jump, it gave him amusement. He kept her there whether she wanted to stay. While she was rattled he still felt better.

[history-repeats.insanejournal.com]

Zoe let out an involuntary squeal when Greed grabbed her, his hands were freezing! She shook her head, twisting her wrists and trying to get him to let go, "No!" she tried to tug free, wrinkling her nose, "I think I liked it better when you were sick."
