WHO: Greed & Lust
WHEN: Friday
WHERE: Lust's apartment
WHAT: Making the most of a bad situation
WARNING: Sins


Lust was half way between pouting and angry when she arrived home. Like most of the sins, with time she let go of her moodiness over Wrath's shenanigans, it did not mean she had by any means forgiven her sister Sin or her Dickslayer but when it wasn't in front of her, Lust tended to forget. And it was just so much more fun spending that time on herself instead. It did annoy her that Greed didn't seem to be giving her 100% of his attention lately but she had Ambrosia to distract her to make up for his oversight. Until today of course when she ran into Jack and he decided to play a game that Lust did not enjoy.

"Greeeeeeed!" she whined out when she came in the door, looking upset. And it was easy to see why. A knife had sliced across Lust's collarbone, deep enough that drops of blood spilled from it. Ruining her clothes which also had a cut on the side. Her fingertips were coated in the junk as well since she'd smeared it on her chest when she'd been trying to assess the damage. She was highly annoyed, she just got her body back to perfect after the whole killing Satan and Lucifer thing and then this happens!

Greed was plugged into xbox when Lust came in the door. His handheld gun was aimed toward the t.v. shooting at zombies or some other digital land he'd thrown himself into. When Lust called out he whipped ariubd shooting off the toy gun just as he spotted Lust.

"What?" He cried out, noticing the blood. He looked confused, eyeing the tip of his gun, then her and back again. Had he just done that?

Lust huffed, stupid boys and their stupid games, "Look at this!" and she gestured at the wound, her face turning into a pout as she stalked over to him. All she wanted to do was huff and whine because looooook at iiiiit! She was practically disfigured.

that autocorrect was supposed to say 'around'

[better-than.insanejournal.com]

He pointed the gun again with a shot with no results. He fingered the wound before annoyance threw him. "What happened?" He shrieked. That was going to scar a little. Who had marred his Lust?

I figured it out! I'm a genius. o_o

[bedroom-hymns.insanejournal.com]

Lust was two seconds away from slapping that stupid toy gun out of his hand but finally he started paying attention to her. She flopped down on the couch and did a big wince when he fingered the wound though it just stung a little now. It would scar for a few days and then she'd be fine but that wasn't the point! "This idiot was waiting for me outside of Ambrosia. Full of sex and violence and he kept calling me his mom and then there was fog and he pulled a knife and he did thiiiiis." she threw her head back on the sofa and kicked her feet a little.

[better-than.insanejournal.com]

Greed followed her to the couch, flopping down nearly on top of her. "Well why did he do that?" He took a half soiled napkin from his empty pizza box and tried to dab at the wound. It was more like abrasive sandpaper than a soft cotton swab.

[bedroom-hymns.insanejournal.com]

Lust smacked his hand away with both of hers, "Don't use something dirty, that hurts!" Ugh, Greed was horrible at taking care of things, she had to practically tell him how to do it. "Use something soft." she directed before slipping back into a pout, "He likes to play a sick game. I mean, who doesn't enjoy some pain with their pleasure but this was just taking it too far. He didn't even pay. Just assumed that I'd be willing for him." she stuck out her bottom lip and looked down as if trying to look at the wound, "Now I'm all ugly and no one will want me.."

[better-than.insanejournal.com]

Greed eyed her scar as if it were a caterpillar crawling up her face. He didn't have anything else lying around, so he licked his thumb and ran it over the dried blood, only managing to smear it. Lust would never be ugly especially to Greed. He wanted the scar to go away, but he was still too engrossed in himself.

"Maybe that means you need a vacation from work," he touted , getting up and running off to the bathroom. He came back with a handful of towels and the first aid kit. After pouring the towels in her lap he shuffled in the kit finding anything that looked like antiseptic that might clean her up. He had to make his Lust shiny and pretty again.

[bedroom-hymns.insanejournal.com]

Lust smirked and scratched Greed under his chin when he got back, "You just want me all to yourself.." but she enjoyed the idea. Not that it'd ever happen but she wanted Greed to want her. He wasn't wanting her enough in her opinion.

She shoved the towels off her lap and then peeked in the first aid kit and pointed at the antiseptic, lord knows she'd used it enough on him and Glutt when they got into literal scrapes. She widened her eyes at Greed expectantly and then moved her finger up and down in front of her top as if to silently tell him to take it off. He should have been doing that in the first place whether she was injured or not.

[better-than.insanejournal.com]

"Maybe," he scoffed like a child endlessly rummaging through the kit until he had the right stuff. He read over the label and then spritzed the bloody area. "Oh," when she reminded him of her shirt he climbed onto the couch and pulled it over her head, looking to be sure there were no more scratches for him to fix. He spritzed the cleaner again and wiped away the blood.

[bedroom-hymns.insanejournal.com]

Lust winced when he cleaned her up and she was more angry and upset than she was in pain. She put her hand on the side of Greed's neck and was half serious as she asked, "Maybe? You don't want me now?" she lowered her gaze, "Maybe I'm not pretty enough for you...?" that part she was teasing because hell look at her but whatever to get attention from him. She was way more interesting than a video game.

[better-than.insanejournal.com]

When he was done Greed looked at his handiwork with pride. As good as new....mostly. The cut would heal, but it didn't mean he was happy about it. He hadn't been giving her his attention lately for his own mopey moods. She was all he had right now.

As Lust dropped her gaze he pouted. She spent all her time at Ambrosia and now wanted him to pet her ego? Rude. He wiped off his hands on his jeans so he could grab her face. "If you want a fuck just ask for it, don't guilt trip me." Oddly enough he just hadn't been in the mood these last few weeks. It made this relationship with Zoe a bigger problem for Lust. When Greed pouted, the things he liked felt lost. He took this all pretty personal.

[bedroom-hymns.insanejournal.com]

Lust could get mad, easily get mad, and she had every right to get mad. But she didn't. Greed liked to forget that no matter blasted toy he had going on, only Lust knew him really well. And there was more than one way to skin a cat.

She didn't flinch when he grabbed her face, but there was hurt in her eyes that didn't need to be invented. "I've never had to ask.." she said quietly. And why should she, he'd always wanted her. Until recently. Until new shiny things took his attention.

True, she'd been going to Ambrosia but he knew if the situation was reversed, he'd have dumped her too. He was being a buzzkill and they were excess, they weren't designed for being down. But she moved back to get out of his hold and then reached into her bag and pulled out a cellphone. He knew what hers looked like and it wasn't hers but she held it out to him.

[better-than.insanejournal.com]

It was this battle of who feels worse. Greed was determined to be the sympathy puppy here. However, Lust's drawn down face made his own pout grow. "Lust..." he whined. She was leaving him alone when he didn't need it, he wasn't going to....

She pulled out a phone and he eyed her warily. "What's that for?"

[bedroom-hymns.insanejournal.com]

Lust ignored his whine, looking away, still hurt. He knew better.

She didn't look at him, still held out the shiny phone and said with a slight huff, "For the one I broke. So you can call someone." and she put her chin on the arm of the couch with a slight pout. Look at how nice she was to her Greed and he was nothing but mean to her.

[better-than.insanejournal.com]

He grew instantly excited, his mouth as wide as his eyes the moment he had the phone in his hands. Pure candy for a little boy. This was definitely better than zombies! Lust however was still pouting, and her gesture was enough to draw his attention to her.

Scooting close he kissed her neck softly. Sins didn't get gifts without wanting something in return. It was a way of bargaining. "I'm sorry I've not been a good playmate these last few weeks."

[bedroom-hymns.insanejournal.com]

Lust turned her head away, "Hmph. No, you haven't." as his mirror the only person that could pout as hard as Greed was Lust. He got what he wanted, Lust was still empty handed. She wanted attention from him and small crumbs weren't enough to satisfy her hunger.

[better-than.insanejournal.com]

He rested his head on het shoulder, kissing it before springing up off the couch. "I'll be right back." Immediately he dialed Zoe's number for a quick chat, then he'd take Lust out. He didn't like seeing her mope around.

[bedroom-hymns.insanejournal.com]

Lust huffed a little when he scampered off and then turned on the couch and wanted to see if she could eavesdrop..

While on the phone, Zoe frowned at the number she didn't recognize but since she was paranoid and never knew if someone was calling from jail or something, she always picked up, "Hello..?"

[better-than.insanejournal.com]

Greed bounced around the apartment while waiting for Zoe to pick up. Once her voice graced the other end he beamed. "Yo!" He said in a bouncy voice. "What are you up to tonight?" He wiggled his brows, deepening his voice a little to throw her off. It would he enough to make her pause and think about whobshe was talking to. He kind of didn't care what she said he was just excited to hear her voice.

[bedroom-hymns.insanejournal.com]

Lust watched Greed as much as she could, close to just giving up. She needed to get him on meds.

Zoe's voice came back, "Oh you know, robbing banks, flying to foreign countries, meeting tall dark mysterious strangers in mysterious places.. the usual."

[better-than.insanejournal.com]

It was hard for him to not beam a little. He got that way when he had his most precious things near. He was like Gollum without the scary voice and emaciation. "Better not be Fiji. At least not without me." He put a hand on his hip with a pout. He tried to wander ariubd the apartment where Lust couldn't hear, but his loud laughs were hard to miss during their short conversation. It was the closest he could get to his prized toy until it was safe. He missed her though, it was pretty obvious.

[bedroom-hymns.insanejournal.com]

Lust was watching him with sharp green eyes and she had that mother/sister/lover hearing so she caught most of what he was saying. Not that it made any sense. But whatever, he was happy. That meant she'd get to have fun.

Zoe's mile wide smile could be heard in her voice as she said, "It is totally Fiji and it is totally without you!" she added in a hushed voice, "...I'm taking the pillow."

[better-than.insanejournal.com]

"That pillow is going to get its feathers ripped out and hung out the window." He rounded the corner of the living room again where Lust was flopped on the couch. He rested his hip against the side of the couch watching her under heavy lashes. He held up his finger promising Lust one more minute before he was off the phone. Then she could do what she wanted to with him.

[bedroom-hymns.insanejournal.com]

Lust looked at him curiously but so far this was the least sexiest conversation ever. But apparently and thankfully it was wrapping up soon.

Zoe laughed, "You and this pillow.. need I remind you that the pillow is here and you're not." concern creeped into her voice, "Can I assume you're taking care of yourself..? No fires or blood?"

[better-than.insanejournal.com]

Greed quirked a smile. "What are you worried?" He asked casually, but he liked knowing she thought about him. Even without influence she was grabbing for him with her words. It was a complete contrast to the way he was with Lust, who in minutes would be pulling out an entirely different side. There were things about Zoe that lustful and sexy never crossed his mind. He was always trying for a grope or a tease or to see how far he could get physically without combusting, but other times it was just being comfortable.

"Still got those pictures saved on your phone I'm sure. Should I send you a new one to sleep with?" He teased knowing she would blush for a good few seconds at the thought.
