WHO: Greed & Lust
WHEN: Friday night
WHERE: Lust's place
WHAT: Everything.
WARNING: S.I.N.S. (Sorrows I Never Show)


Lust barely ever used her apartment. She was always either at Ambrosia or at Greed's but she still liked having a little place away to herself. Lust wasn't a fan of being alone but sometimes.. sometimes it was necessary. Times like now when Greed hurt her to the point she couldn't face anything. She turned the lights on and walked into the bedroom. It wasn't as spacious as Ambrosia, but she liked it. It was different, and not showy but very her. It was easy to see she'd put actual time and thought into it despite not using it often.

She opened the wardrobe and rooted throw clothes and sheets and other things until she found what she was looking for. It was an antique music box. But it wasn't an antique when she was first given it. It was tacky and cheap. She opened the lid, the wood creaking in protest and the old music box slowly grinding out the first tinkles of a French love song. She smiled a little and took out the only jewelry the box contained. An old silver ring twisted into knots of flowers with pearls in them. It was her wedding ring. Oh sure, her engagement ring from Devlin was the family diamond, big, flashy... but he'd surprised her on their wedding day with this unique band he'd designed himself. He was so into nature, flowers, the country.. Lust hadn't been thrilled with his little token of affection but after he was gone.. through the years she didn't know what became of the diamonds and the jewels but this.. she always kept it.

The bruises still showed where he and Pride had gone at it. The entire day had been shot, Greed couldn't even properly appreciate Sloth ditching Patience. Literally. He'd played his card as he said he would, bringing a few bags to smoke out of Sloth's bong. It had alleviated the hurt but it was still peeled away whenever Zoe texted to ask if he was okay. The questions were redundant so he stopped answering because the root of his anger had started with this whole situation. He had to share her with a roommate now, and with Patience. He didn't have a choice. And Greed always got a choice when it came down his own path.

After Tuesday everything started to snowball down. Lust had made it worse. One thing that turned Greed off into a foul mood was a bitchy Lust who threatened him. It really grated under his skin. He'd stopped by Ambrosia, but she wasn't there. There was only one other place she could be when she wanted space. Greed knocked, but had already devised a plan to get in if she refused.

He could stand down broken and bent but he wouldn't be Greed. Giving up was never in his genetic makeup. "You wouldn't help me if Lucifer found her." Right now Lust would pull her vindictive card, because as Sins they put self before anyone else. Greed was protecting Zoe, but it was for selfish reasons.

Yet...he couldn't let Lust just bat against him. It would be difficult. He'd pull through, because Greed could survive on his own, but he didn't want to imagine a world where she didn't have his back.
