WHO: Greed & Zoe
WHEN: November 28 [Backdated]
WHERE: W hotel
WHAT: Two birthdays for the price of one!
WARNING: Fluffy fluff or I will strangle them o_o


Zoe wasn't taking Satan's threat lightly. She was terrified of the blonde and had jumped more than a few times since the run in two days ago. Greed thought it'd be best if they spent some time apart for safety reasons but the 28th was Zoe's birthday and she was 25 today. And she'd made a promise to Greed that she'd share her birthday with him since he'd never had one. So Satan or not, she intended to keep her promise. A promise was something sacred to her and not even the fires of hell were enough to make her break one.

She picked the W hotel again because they had had good luck with it last time. No one had spotted them and it seemed to not be in the path of Virtues or general folk of the hell variety. She wore a yellow dress with black tights, not as fancy as the one that Greed had gotten her (which she had accepted as an early birthday present) because that one was tainted with Satan's threats. But this one had belonged to Zoe's grandmother, and like most of Zoe's clothes, had been tailored to fit her. She hoped Greed liked it just the same. She'd done the same trick with the keycard as before when she'd arrived and now sat on the edge of the bed and sent a text to Greed which was cryptic but she had confidence he'd understand it:

Your room's ready, Mr. Grolls.

Satan turning up put a damper on his funtime. That threat Greed took care in having them lay low for a while. His girlfriend wasn't any good dead in a ditch somewhere with a bullet through her head. That would be terribly unpleasant.

He had just propped his feet up on the living room table, controller in hand for the Xbox. If he couldn't kill Satan again he was going to pretend with a few games while Lust was out. Again. Ava was asleep in his bedroom for now, it was just him and the t.v.

When his phone started to buzz in his pocket he fished it out. She was slick. With a smirk he wasted no time hopping up to get dressed (http://cdni.condenast.co.uk/320x480/a_c/cevans_gq_6jun11_rex_b.jpg). Ava would have to go with him, and with the Hell kings sniffing around he wasn't leaving her alone. He'd grown quite fond of the little diaper baby. He complied a bag of things in case she did wake up on the ride or at the hotel, but he'd really tuckered the thing out after running around all day.

He strapped her in her car seat (http://ww1.hdnux.com/photos/15/17/03/3469560/6/628x471.jpg) which was about as high tech as it came. European. It looked more like a pod then a baby holder. So when he walked into the hotel with the carrier, it seemed as if he was carrying a giant cake holder instead of a baby. He'd sent Zoe a text while in the hotel lobby.

I brought the cake Ms. Nan Nay.

[history-repeats.insanejournal.com]

Zoe chuckled when she got the text and then sent one back in reply:

Then shall we get this party started?

The keycard was under his fake ridiculous name that she'd thought of last time which would let him know the room number. Zoe was still finishing up some last minute arrangements. Now, she might be a nobody but a nobody carrying around things is still noticeable. Especially into a semi-swanky hotel. So she had been very very careful in how she did things. The things she brought had to come in a cab, it would be too conspicuous otherwise and she asked the cabbie to go to the back of the hotel. A nice elderly man who worked there was easy to talk to and she explained the situation. Just that you know, this was a surprise, not that Satan was trying to kill them. And he seemed willing to help which was a nice bit of kindness in the past few days of ass sucking.

So now that Greed was almost here, Zoe grabbed the hotel phone and dialed for room service. Very special room service.

[better-than.insanejournal.com]

Full speed ahead, baby.

Ava kept quiet in her pod, and his extra bag looked like a large gift bag. He flapped the key card against the counter, giving the clerk a wink.

The room was different this time, which was a good way to keep this secretive. The Mr. and Mrs. Smith of the W Hotel. As always Greed over-packed because he wanted to get his puppy everything. There was even something buried under baby shit in that bag for Zoe. He slipped in easily enough, not even a hotel maid to see him squeak by.

"Surprise!" Though honestly he was the one surprised because he had opted out of this when pretty Satan face ruined his cover.

[history-repeats.insanejournal.com]

Zoe grinned when he put in his appearance, "I thought that's my line.." she waited till he put the Ava pod down and since it was quiet she knew the baby was sleeping. She put her hands on the sides of Greed's open brown jacket and gave it a tug to get him to bend down a little so she could kiss him, "Happy birthday, boyfriend.."

[better-than.insanejournal.com]

"Beat you to it," he chewed on his bottom lip opening the door of the pod so Ava could sleep in fresh air. His first instinct had been to just poke holes in it like the top of a jar.

He leaned in with that kiss, too eager to give it to her. "You don't listen very well..." he poked her on the nose with his finger. It made him giggle at the sound of boyfriend ride off her tongue so easy. "You even wore my favorite color." His hands cupped against her curvaceous hips.

[history-repeats.insanejournal.com]

Zoe smiled and shook her head, "Your bad habits must be rubbing off on me." her cheeks turned a little pink when he pointed out what she was wearing. She nodded, "I did..." she fixed his jacket idly, "And I always keep my promises. Unless it's extreme circumstances." because she'd gotten shot because she broke her promise to him to stay home.. but Raiden had needed help so it was a unique situation.

"So, normally when you see the person whose birthday it is, you wish them 'happy birthday' first thing." she wanted to explain a little what was going on as it was going on. She was sure he'd enjoy it either way but this was his chance to get to be a real boy with her.

[better-than.insanejournal.com]

"So Satan threatening to put a bullet in your head isn't extreme?" She was stubborn. "I'm glad you did," he playfully nipped at her nose, swinging slightly from side to side as his feet stayed planted. And a kiss. He always wanted kisses.

"Okay. Now what?" his eyes sparkled with interest. "What do I get?"

[history-repeats.insanejournal.com]

Zoe wrinkled her nose, "It is.. but that's just threatening me, not someone I care about." she grinned after he nipped her nose, "Besides, you can play my bodyguard again."

She laughed when he went straight to being greedy, "Well next people usually ask how old you are.. like, I'm 25 today. But I think you're kinda older than dirt, aren't you? Oh but then I get to say something else people say on birthday's.. you look great for your age." then a knock came at the door, "Ah, it's here." she gave him a kiss, "Duck outta sight for a minute."

[better-than.insanejournal.com]

"Well that's just boring. I thought I get stuff." He smiled but it soon faded into a pout. "So what if I'm old! I'm sexy old . No one can tell!" He patted his face to be sure he wasn't starting to show signs of wrinkles just because she'd said something.

"What?" He moved from the door, rubbing Ava's belly lightly while Zoe did her think, Greed peeking over his shoulder the whole time.

[history-repeats.insanejournal.com]

The look on his face was orgasmic as he flipped through near mint condition pages to books he'd had taken away from him. She couldn't even begin to grasp how that affected him.

He organized them in his own particular way before setting them back in the box. When he had his own place again they would line his bookshelf or spot on the floor, wherever he decided to file them. It was hard to break his gaze from the stack of books but he set it aside by the bed as if they were living and breathing. That's when a thought hit him as he looked down at the top cover. He pulled out his wallet with a little cutout piece of paper. He rolled up her sleeve as if she were to be ready for an injection.

-----------

Zoe smiled as she watched him, how much he seemed to like the gift meant more to her than any thank you (not that he'd ever say it) she could receive. It was interesting to watch him.. he didn't react like anybody else would. Normally it'd be surprise, awe (if they liked it), then they put it aside. But Greed really, well like with everything he did, he immersed himself in the gift. He marveled at it and took his time, and handled it so delicately. But she stayed silent, letting him enjoy his precious moment.

She raised her brows when he grabbed her arm and moved the sleeve of the dress up, "....whatcha doin' there..?" a little wary.

---------------------------

Greed stopped, looking with a nod. "No, you're right. Take off the tights? Thigh is better." Then it could be somewhere more hidden. If she didn't follow through, he'd have to do it himself. "This is important Zoe, chop, chop!"

---------------------------

Zoe furrowed her brow, "Uh no.. " she wriggled her arm and said, "What's important? Do I get to know what you want with my arm and thigh?" as usual he was running ahead of her.

--------------------------

"Oh wait..." He ran to the bathroom and came back with a glass of water. "Mmmm, too much." He drank down over half the glass, set it aside and motioned at her once he plopped back on the bed. "Tights, Zoe, tights. Work with me here." She had nice long looking legs and they were hidden by these horrible black things.

[history-repeats.insanejournal.com]

Zoe watched him with narrowed eyes and her mouth slightly open, trying to figure out what he was doing. She scooted a little away from him and shook her head, "Nuh uh, not till you tell me what's going on."

--------------------

"It'll ruin the surprise. You have yours, I have mine. Tights please." He batter her his best look with those thick lashes. "I don't think I'm being unreasonable here. I could just make you." He crossed his arms with his bottom lip sticking out. "What's it gonna be?"

--------------------

Zoe crossed her arms and looked stubborn, "You are being unreasonable but when aren't you.." she shook her head, "No dice. You were going to use my arm before so clearly that works." she gave a shake of her hair and held out her arm to him so he could do whatever he wanted to that.

--------------------

Greed sat there defiant, arms still crossed. He pointed a finger at her legs before pushing her arm away. "Mmmmno. Need somewhere a little more...hidden."

--------------------

"Ohhhh more hidden. Why didn't you say so...!" she took her arm back and crossed her arms and matched his obstinate look, this time crossing her long legs as well, "Mmmm.. no." mimicking him and batting her own lashes at him. It was weird having him do something with her thighs.. yes he was her boyfriend but still.

--------------------

"Zoe!" He snapped not budging from his stance. "Come on. It's on my list of access. I am your boyfriend." He perked an eyebrow, telling her to make her move. He was calling checkmate.

--------------------

Zoe started laughing, "You know, you can't just whip out the boyfriend card whenever it suits you. There are things a boyfriend is supposed to do that you don't." but she couldn't resist him for very long, it was how she ended up in this position in the first place. She leaned a little closer to him and put her hand on the bed to lean on as she narrowed her eyes, "Say please."

--------------------

"Do I have to do this myself?" He pouted shifting her closer with his hands fiddling against the hem of her dress. She may not have noticed it rise, but he sure did. "Gimme a kiss first," his thumb runned a circle under the hem.

--------------------

Zoe grinned, "Oh I think you'd enjoy taking my tights off a little too much..." she let him move her closer and shook her head amused, "Just one?" she bit her bottom lip as if she was thinking about it. She scooted even closer to him, till she was touching his legs, "Well that is a bargain.."

[better-than.insanejournal.com]

He smiled wide, his lips thinned from ear to ear. "Thought so..." He leaned in for her lips. "Do I still have to say please?" He asked in a little voice.

He looked over his shoulder at Ava to be sure she was still asleep. Then he slipped out of his coat and tossed it at the foot of the queen sized bed. When Zoe still didn't move he tapped his legs. "Please?"

[history-repeats.insanejournal.com]

Zoe gave him a look when he asked if he still had to say please. Her eyes followed his gaze to Ava, she was keeping a discreet eye on the baby off and on but was pleased to see Greed was too.

But she smiled brightly when Greed did say please. She put her hand on his cheek and really kissed him. A little bit of niceness could go a long way, not that she'd say something like that to him.

[better-than.insanejournal.com]

The bed bounced as he wiggled against the mattress after her kiss. He was getting anxious. She was completely ruining this for him. He motioned to the dress with his brows. "I asked nicely..." He batted his lashes playfully.

[history-repeats.insanejournal.com]

Zoe sighed, "I hate you.." she made a face as she looked at sleeping Ava and then back at him. She put a hand on the bed to get up, "I'm going to take them off in the bathroom.."

[better-than.insanejournal.com]

Greed watched her from the bed impatiently. "Would asking you to take off the dress too be too much?" He yelled at the closed door, eyes fixed on it until it creeped open. There they were, those pretty legs she'd been hiding all this time.

He patted the bed for her to sit, crawling all over her once she did.

[history-repeats.insanejournal.com]

Zoe shouted back, "A tad." she opened the door a crack and peeked out before sighing again helplessly and emerging with naked legs. There was a reason you wore tights with this dress, it cut off a little too high for Zoe's liking. Other girls wore shorter dresses than this out in public with nothing on underneath but other girls were not Zoe.

She dropped down on the bed and grinned when he crawled all over her. She tried to sneakily move backwards and try to get out from under him, "You know, these days I seem to be losing my clothes around you instead of the other way around." since normally he had been the one in various states of undress when they were first together.

[better-than.insanejournal.com]

"That's just sad. Don't you miss it?" He wasn't sure how he would ever cope with that. The excess would suffocate themselves with sex. It was just a part of all three of them, it was something they needed. Like water and air to breathe. So, for Greed understanding it in the way Zoe presented it just felt foreign to him. It didn't matter how she swung it.

"You've gotten into the swing of things with me before---wait you said almost. With who?" It better not have been that tree.

[history-repeats.insanejournal.com]

Zoe shrugged, "I don't know.. I miss being close with somebody. Sex isn't for me what it is for you. Or other people. It can be fun but for me it's like another way of showing this person how much you care about them. How much you trust them and it's something special. When you share your body with everyone then who cares, when I'm with someone I want them to know that I really want to be with them. That no one else gets to see me like that because everything I have is for only for them. And if it's right.. you don't really need anybody else. When you do it with feelings and emotions, it just.. it's better."

She chuckled, "I have with you before because I... feel stuff for you." but when he asked with who she almost did, her gaze went to the side and she purposely ignored it as if she didn't hear. She widened her eyes and slapped her hands lightly on his chest, "You know what, I almost forgot, there's cake. We should eat it before it goes bad."

[better-than.insanejournal.com]

"Are you describing sex or chocolate cake. I can't be sire, because I am always one with chocolate." He was making jokes but part of him---"I envy you for that. For getting to experience something as if its the last time you'll have it, so you make the most of it. You make it memorable." It was the part he always wanted to have.

"You just said you wanted a nap."

[history-repeats.insanejournal.com]

Zoe smiled, "Must be why I like you so much, I love chocolate.." her smile softened as he admitted his truth and she shook her head, "You've never felt anything like that? When you're intimate with someone you love, it's like.. it's just the two of you. The whole world falls away. Something.. happens to you." she touched the pads of her fingers to his, "Your hands ache for them. And touching anybody else's skin won't satiate." she moved the tips of her fingers apart and let them fall between his, closing them around his fingers. "It becomes loving them with every piece of you, body as well as heart. It's everything." she shrugged, to her there was nothing bigger than that, than having someone completely, though not a lot of people saw it that way.

She grinned at him and tugged on his hand to move him closer so she could peck his lips, "Yes, but you'll just feel me up in my sleep and it'll defeat the purpose. So might as well have cake."

[better-than.insanejournal.com]

He pulled his hand away from hers, his eyes dropping from her gaze. "No, I don't know," his voice a soft expression to his usual behavior. He pulled his hand completely from her grasp. He didn't like the way she talked about feelings in a way she thought he understood. He may have been cut from the cloth of humanity, able to feel things in a humanistic way, but this was a slap in the face. He curled up. She always made him feel like Chance, like just a boy, but right now he was Greed.

"Yay cake." But he didn't move, his voice less through enthusiastic.

[history-repeats.insanejournal.com]

Zoe looked at him in concern and her mouth dropped open a little as she realized her mistake. "Oh, Chance.. I'm sorry. I didn't mean.." she sighed as he curled up and she could feel the distance he threw up between them. She moved to her side, moving closer to him, speaking softly, "I'm sorry.. I forget sometimes. To me you're just.. Chance. My annoying, goofy, incredible boyfriend." to her, he wasn't the Sin of Greed that belonged to the world, he wasn't an idea. He was just that cute boy that she was crazy about. She nuzzled him to get him to look at her, staying close to him, her face right next to his, "Plus.." she continued softly, "Do you know how I know those things..?"

[better-than.insanejournal.com]

He refused to look at her, he even stuck his nose in the air. "You don't ever make me Greed, you've always seen me. If its so easy to forget, you'll find out one day that you can't see me as anything else." He held back from telling her still about Lust because he didn't want Zoe to look at him like that. He liked that she could see something else.

"How?" He asked in a pout, curling his knees up.

[history-repeats.insanejournal.com]

Zoe sighed as he talked. She always told him she always saw the real him, who he was, not what he was.

She smiled softly as he still pouted but she stayed close. She leaned in even closer till her nose touched his lightly, speaking as if she was telling him a secret, "Because.. I feel them with you." she hadn't lied before when she said she hadn't felt like this about anyone before. When she spoke about these things, she wasn't talking abut the past. She was talking about the present, what she wanted with him, what she felt for him. She always considered them on the same page, just maybe in the feelings area, she was a couple of chapters ahead.
